Walsh Files Bill 10 Restore

A title which the Navy hasn't
used since the days Of Admird.
Dewey would be put back In the
naval lexicon by q bill introduced
by Senator Walsh, Democrat. of
Massachusetts,.
Senator Walsh proposed yester.
day, with the Nays approval, that
the rank Of commodore be sand
wiched In between that Of captain
and admiral. A commodore, Sena-
tor Walsh explained, would be desig-
mated to command squadrons Of de-
stroyers. Although he would out
rank captain who might command
division of four destroyers, or one
half Of a squadron, the commodore
would draw only a captains pay.
Navy records show that the last
appointment to q commodoreis rank
was in 1899, at which time nine
other men held the rank. A law
then was enacted promoting COM
modores to the rank Of rear ad.

PIoyoff Spot Looms for
Hockey Foe Wings Fear
By the Associated Press.

BY lne Associated Press.
Indications are that the Montreal
Canadiens are going to make Jack
Adams, boss man of the Detroit
Redwings, very sad man.
Adams, willing to express him
self on anything regarding the Ma
tional Hockey League, recently said
he feared the Canadiens more than
any other club in the circuit and
that he hoped they would not make
the playoff grade.
But Montreal battered New York
Thursday night, to 2, to move
within two points of Chicago and
Toronto, tied for third place, in
the standings.
Not only did that verdict give the
Canadiens "look-in" to the prom
ised land of the post-season tour
naments, but Coach Dick Irwin got
enough confidence to predict that If
his club won tonight's game from
the Maple Leafs it would continue
its drive.
A defeat for the Canadiens would
give them a APPOINT handicap and
slash their playoff chances as they
have only four games left after
the Toronto meeting The Leafs
meanwhile, would have five more
chances to add to their win column
Chicago. after this week ends
double bill, has four games left on
its calendar, three of them on the

We||es Denies Plans
For Postwar Bases
In Latin America
DecIores Military
Areas Now Used Are
For Wortime Only

Acting Secretary of State welles
declared today that the United
States has no intention OF making
any move to acquire permanent mil
itary bases In the Western Hemis-
phere which would affect the ter.
ritory OF other American republics.
He told press conference that he
considered 1t necessary TO knock in
the head Immediately" what he de-
scribed as complete misconceptions
about United States policy resulting
from distortion and misinterpreta-
ton OF recent statements by oflician
and private citizens.
1t Is a complete misconceptions,
Mr.. Welles emphasized. that this
Government is planning to under
take permanent occupation OF bases
from which American armed forces
now are operating under co-opera-
tive arrangements with other Amer
ican republics.
Axis propagandists have been res
ported spreading such false reports
In Latin America In an effort to
create a rift in inter- American un.
derstanding
Arrangements Cooperative.
Mr.. Welles pointed out that IN
addition to the arrangements with
Great Britain for lease Of certain
areas in the Atlantic and Caribbean
for military and naval bases, the
United States had made co-operaS
tive arrangements for the duration
Of the war with several Of the other
American republics.
Under those arrangements. he
added, United States armed forces
have been permitted to use certain
specified areas under the sovereignty
Of other American republics for the
common defense Of the hemisphere.
He emphasized that the arrange
ments, provided for in q resolution
adopted at the 1910 Havana COM
ference for reciprocal assistance
among the American nations in the
event Of outside aggression. covered
no rights or obligations beyond the
present emergency.
No Permanent Plan.
They In no way provide for the
establishment Of permanent miur
tary bases by this Government, he
declared. In response to questions,
Mr.. Welles said he wanted to make II
clear that what he said applied SOLE
ly to arrangements with the other
American republics. He declined to
discuss the future of the bases leased
from Great Britain.
Mr.. Welles indorsed q recent
speech by Leao Beloso, secretary
general Of the Brazilian foreign
office. who said Brazil never has
made or been asked to make any
concession incompatible with her
sovereignty. He referred also to
the "old tried and true" solidarity
between the United States ana
Brazil.

Mrs. John Hertz's Count Fleet, w. E.
Boeing's Devils Thumb and Allen
T. Simmons Blue Swords stack up
as top contenders for the Derby
cash and gold cup. However, his
winter record has put Ocean Wave,
Warren Wright's Calumet Farm
hope, up among the leaders.
Ocean Wave won five straight
races before losing to Ben F. Whit
aker's Pops Pick at New orleans, but
the loss took little luster from the
Calumet pride. Ocean Wave carried
126 pounds to 1T for the Whitaker
horse. but in the Derby all starters
will pack 126 pounds.
Occupation Not Nominated.
Last years leading money winner
among the juveniles was John
Msrsh's Occupation, which went
bad this winter and was not nomi-
mated for the Downs race.
Other nominees with Derby-wor-
thy records include Suncap. Ogma,
Through Bound, Slide Rule, Kopla,

However, between now and Derby

some sort of menace to such as
Count Fleet, Devils Thumb. Blue

l. An inexcusable defeat would set
him right back among the lesser
lights.
Ben Jones, the Missouri magi-
clan who won two Kentucky Der
bies-one with a big, unsound
country hoss" named Lawrin and
the other with the once -wacky
Whirlaway-will leave no stone un-
turned to do it third time with
Ocean Wave.
Jones, speaking about today's
special, said:
Il figure If they beat us today,
only the weight can do it. It might
be slightly better for my colt If
the track came up fast. and I have
respect for those other horses, but
In any kind of going we should
win"
Amber Light Is Mystery.
Last Tuesday the Wave. after
winning five straight, bowed by
slightly more than a length to Pops
Pick over a muddy mile and 70
yards. conceding the victor nine
pounds. Many blamed bad racing
luck for the Calumet chargers de-
feat and Jones said his colt was
bumped three times. But with one
more pound in weight advantage
today, the Whitaker colt again may
prove tough.
Amber Light is the mystery horse,
the question being whether he can
stretch his blazing lick" over the
nine furlongs distance. Certainly
no other 3-year-old around here
has displayed more sheer speed.
