ding gowns presented to the

In the magazine there are 16 ar
ticles written by Mrs. Whitehurst.
She covers Black Markets in Brit

British Red Cross, Women and the
American Red Cross Women's Vol
untary Services, Women's ROYAL
Naval Service, Women's Auxiliary

There are so illustrations, includ-
ing pictures of % leading British
women, many Of whom entertained
Mrs. Whitehurst; pictures of wom-
en- at work in every conceivable
field; of Mrs. Whitehurst viewing
the destruction of St. Paul's Cath
edral, of Plymouth, wrought by
bombs, visiting in childreAs wards
and receiving instructions in bat
terry.
OF particular interest are tn e
pictures Of the beautiful Ameri-
can Woman's club, loaned now as
club for Dominion and Colonial
officers. The English-Speaking I'm
ion at Dartmouth extended til e
privilege of meeting place to the
members Of the Woman's club,

ly, to knitting parties, library dis
tribution, and the unpacking and

presided over by Mrs. James B.
Mennell, the president, and hun
dreds of Britain's most active and
prominent women were there.
1t requires two and one-half
pages Of the magazine to merely
list the schedule of Mrs. White
bursts activities during her five
and a half weeks vista truly
"Eleanoresque" achievement! The
hlghlight for Mrs. Whitehurst per-
sonally, of course, was the invita-
ton from Queen Elizabeth, extend
ed through Ambassador Winant.
Mrs. Whitehurst had 20 minutes
with the woman who she says is
1.-The easiest person to talk with
I ever met" and, she adds, II
have never met more complete
II charming woman in my life"
In her comments on Britain at
War, Mrs. Whitehurst says, Brit
ain is a Fortress of Democracy
in an active theatre of War. The
attitude Of the British people
their tolerance, stoicism and de-
termination to work and deny
themselves, so that the war will
terminate VIGOROUSLY for the Al
lies, was one of the most touching
aspects of the visit. My adn1ira-
ton Of the British people at war
is beyond description. My second
outstanding reaction was my con-
viction that there is need for great
er world cooperation, now and aft
er hostilities cease. We should
eliminate all the maps in our ge-
ography books and replace them
with the polar maps, which show
the true relationship between coun-
tries in this era"

Renegotiation Hailed
By Senator Mcclellan
Tells Senote 2 Billion
Has Been Saved
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Renegotiation of war contracts
was upheld yesterday by Senator
McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee
as "the most marvelously successful
financial operation of the Govern
ment that I know Of" The policy
was condemned meanwhile, by a
manufacturer who sal dit removes
incentive for increased production.
Senator McKellar told the Senate
that renegotiation had saved ST.
849 100000 at an administrative cost
of 50 100000. He said one company
holding war contracts would have
made a 1912 net profit 17S times it's
1887 earnings had its contracts not
been renegotiated.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
interrupted at one point to declare
30 per cent of the money saved
through renegotiation would be OBJ
talned in excess profits anyway. A
fellow Ohioan, President James F..
Lincoln of the Lincoln Electric Co.,
Cleveland, presented a similar argu-
ment to the House Naval Affairs
Committee.
If you are going to penalize
man for doing good job, he is not
going to do it," said Mr.. Lincoln,
manufacturer Of arc welding ma
chinery. He contended renegotia-
ton has cost the Government many
billions "by reduced efficiency Of
manufacturers.

ment from Joseph B. Eastman, di-
rector of the Office of Defense
Transportation that I'VE will be glad
to see 1t tried out"
Digging up an old process for
using waste gases, Vernon A. Trig-
ger, superintendent of an amuse-
ment park near Springfield. Mass,
operated three converted auto
haulaways last week end without
using a drop of rationed gasoline,
he told Mr. Eastman. His improve
ment to the process was a method
OF varying the engine speeds, which
previously made it impractical for
motor transport, he said.
Mr.. Trigger and his boss. Edward
Carroll, explained that either re-
flnery or sewage gases may be used
in fact, nearly any waste gas. They
said they simply buy a tankful
which is roughly equivalent to II
gallons of gasoline, from a whole
saler and through system of valves
release it in their auto engines
without making any major changes
In the motors.
Mr.. Eastman said that while the
method might save gasoline. it would
probably have limited application.

To Be Resumed in
District Court Monday
5 Women and 7 Men
Chosen on Jury to Hear
Germon Agent Case

The second trial OF George Syl-
vester Viereck, German propagan-
dist charged with violations OF the
Foreign Agents Registration Act. will
be resumed Monday in District
Court with the Government ex-
pected to call its first witness to
prove its contention that Viereck
failed 20 inform the State Depart
ment he was an agent of the Nazis.
A jury of five women and seven
men. impaneled yesterday after two
hours selection heard Viereck, who
pleaded not guilty to all counts. de-
scribed as "willful. derisive violator
of the law who set up IAN Ameri-
can front for the dissemination of
Nazi propaganda in this country.
The accusations were made by
George A. McNulty, special assist
ant to the Attorney General, in an
hour-long opening statement.
Previous Conviction Upset.
Viereck was convicted by Dis
tfict Court jury in February of last
year of failing to furnish certain
information on registering under the
act, but the Supreme Court last
March reversed the decision, cor-
tending that the jury had been
enormously charged and that Vie
reck was not required to furnish the
information on which the Govern
ment based its original charges.
The grand jury returned a new
indictment March %. charging he
failed on three occasions to inform
the State Department that he was
an agent of the German Reich and
that he had not given a ''compre-
hensive' statement of his activities
in this country.
Mr.. McNulty told the jurors that
the Government would produce evil
dence showing that Viereck sent
weekly reports on political matters
in this country to the German For
eign Office and that he published
and distributed under fictitious
names books originally printed by
German government subsidized
propaganda sources within Ger
many.
Intimate Contact" Charged.
The Government also will show,
Mr.. McNulty said, that Viereck was
lin direct and intimate contact"
with the German Foreign Office
prior to our entrance into the war.
The prosecutor declared the de-
fendant had been on friendly terms
with the late Senator Lundeen, an
isolationist, and frequently helped
him prepare speeches.
Mr.. McNulty described Viereck as
the originator of "a scheme where
by propaganda was engineered into
the Congressional Record" and then
distributed "by the hundreds of
thousands-at the expense of the
taxpayer
The defense, represented by At
torneys Leo A. Rover and John j.
Wilson, deferred making an open
ing statement.
