By the Way
.RETH BLAINE

Hov's this for success story?
Starting out as q simple collector
for the Community Chest, Miss Mae
A. Schnurr wound up as the vice
president Cor the second highest
place. in the civic group and start
ing at the bottom of the Interior
Department drive she wound up
there in the top spot!
In the past two fiscal years ever
1000 900 has been raised in the
Interior Department and don't
think that Miss Schnurr personally
hasn't had a great deal to do with
that astonishing success. She is a
lady with a mind for figures and
for organization and as assistant to
the secretary of the Interior organ
lied and has charge Of the campaign
office where all drives in the de-
partment are handled. What's more
she has seen to 1t that the minimum
has been spent on overhead on per-
sonnel, printing, processing and dis
tribution costs. -.
From the inception of the Com
munity War Fund to date her career
has run something like this:
1. Division chairman in charge of
a bureau of the Interior.
2. Vice chairman of the Depart
ment of the Interior.
8. Vice president of the Commu-
nifty Chest, member of the executive
Committee, member of the Board of
Trustees, member of the Campaign
Strategy Committee, member of the
Nominating Committee, Chairman
Of the Health Committee.
4. Aide to the Government unit
chairman. (The personnel of this
unit is 325,OOOD
5. Chairman of the Department
of the Interior.
This October Miss Schnurr will
again be departmental chairman in
the Community War Fund campaign
for $4,850, 900.
A native of Philadelphia, this re-
markable lady received her educa-
tion there, both in public and pri-
vate schools. In 1915 she first came
to Washington in Government serv-
ice. She is striking looking with
hazel eyes and dark brown hair and
was once called the Queen of the
New Deal" by a well-known New
York newspaper-to which a Cali
fornia newssheet countered with
"She is the Crown Princess of the
New Deal"
In her spare time she used to
study voice and piano and play golf.
Now she hasn't any spare time any
more, as you can probably guess.

Address May Clear Up
Many Questions Re-
garding War Aims

LONDON, March %. - British
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
will address the British Nation on
Sunday, his first broadcast since
his illness of last winter.
The address comes amid a rising
clamor from both sides of the At
iantic for Qualification of the Allied
War aims.
The speech is scheduled Sunday
q pm. PWT) and is awaited here
as a possible key to the position
Britain may take on the multiple
problems expected to come up for
discussions at conferences in Lon
don between American Under Sec
rotary of State Stettinius and the
British Foreign office.
There is also much speculation
that these conferences might be
followed by another meeting be-
tween Churchill and Roosevelt.

HIGHWAY LINK Is
NOW SOUGHT BY
Rep. MAGNU50k

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The
Alaska international Highway Com
mission will ask Congress to extend
its life, and to enact legislation per-
hitting American participation in
the construction of highway link
ing the Pacific Northwest with the
Army's Alaska Highway, Represen-
tative Warren G. Magnuson said
Magnuson added that a connect
ing highway from Prince George,
B. c.. to the Whitehorse area would
permit direct route from the Pa
cific Northwest to Alaska at a cost
of about $12,000,000, of which &c.
100000 could be authorized for the
U. S. share of the COST
Magnuson said that another con-
nection between the military high
way in the United States and Can
ada is being improved by a road
from Prince George to connect with
the Peace River country, and would
give a route farther south than the
one proposed by the Commission.
He stated that despite opposition
of the War Department to con-
struction on the proposed new link
now, he could see no reason WHY
the preliminary work should not
go ahead

LOS ANGELES, March 23.--Gray
haired Charles Chapiins answer to
the governments charge he violat-
ed the Mann Act is that his motives
were Legitimate, above board and
honest when he provided railroad
tickets for a trip to New York for
his former protege, Joan Berry.
This is a portion Of the reply by
Chaplins counsel. Jerry Giesler to
the opening statement of the Gov
ernment's case by Charles Carr,
that the movie comedian engaged
in intimacies with Miss Berry at
her New York hotel in 1912 Gies-
Ter told the jury of seven women
and five men that he would not
endeavor to excuse the spropriety
Of any intimacy prior thereto" cThe
alleged intimacy in New York; !.
Then Giesler added.
I'VE will prove to you that any
time Mr. Chaplin desired, the young
lady gave her consent willingly"
Carr said that Miss Berry while
under contract to Chaplin's studio,
repeatedly asked the actor for per-
mission to make the trip to New
York and Chaplin persistently re-
fused.

JAp5 MAKE
BIG Push
/ into INDIA
Advance 80 Miles and
Threaten Key Road
Center 10 Mdnipur

NEW DELHI, March 23.-Jap COL
umns invading India now threaten
Imphal, the key road center to
Manipur, from the south and east
it was disclosed when Allied head
quarters told that the enemy force
had driven more than 80 miles up
the lower Manipur River Valley
from Tiddin in the Chin Hills area.
The headquarters said that the
column was 80 miles from Imphal
on the west side of Logstak Lake,
south of the city.
Imphal is the southern terminus
OF an all weather road which winds
ITS miles north through the Nga
hills country junction of the India
Assam and China supply line, the
Allied juglar vein in the Burma
theatre.
This report of the second invasion
of India within "a hours by the Japs
ran counter with previous reports
on activity in the Tiddin area, where
earlier announcements indicated the
enemy was confined within the Bur-
ma borders. Yesterdays report from
Allied force dispatches said that
they had to deal with the Japs
who were outflanking units north of
Tiddin." but gave no hint that the
enemy had slammed 80 miles into
India from the south as well as from
the east in the vicinity of Thaungdut
at the upper part of the Chindwin
River. by the eastern Jap invasion
force.
1t was also reported that about
80 miles away from Imphal, a Jap
break-through onto the plains
around Imphal was dependent on
their gathering reinforcements larg-
er than they presently observed from
Jap forces in southeast Asia, the
command spokesman said.

OFFICERS,
KNOWN IN NORTH,
ARE DECORATED

Three Canadian Pacific Steam
ship officers, wellknown to travellers
on the Southeast Alaska run, have
recently been decorated for wal
services. They are william Nelson
now chief engineer of the Princess
Elizabeth on the night run between
Victoria and Vancouver. and years
ago on the Alaska route, awarded
the Order of British Empire, for
two years service in dangerous wa
tiers; Edward E. Stewart, now on
the Princess Elaine, operating be-
tween Nanaimo and Vancouver,
awarded the MBE, and William B
Harris, now engineer on the Prin-
cess Norah, awarded the MBE, both
honored for their action when a
former Victoria steamer was tor
pedoed and sunk in the Mediter-
ranean.
Stewart and Harris tell an exci.-
ing story of the last hours of their
ship which was battered and raw
aged by torpedo explosion, burned
with tremendous clouds of smoke
and flame which could be seen for
many miles, and belched murder
Gus hail of antiaircraft and small
arms shells when fire reached the
gun positions and munitions stores.
Through all this they did their
duty.
Both were ON watch on a bright,
warm afternoon in the fall of 1912,
when at pm. about three hours
after leaving Port Said, they took
tin fish, The explosion threw
them on their hands and knees in
their engine room, which quickly
filled with smoke and steam. The
lights went out. All communication
with the bridge was disrupted, even
the whistle steampipe bursting in
the boiler room They CROPPED their
way to the emergency throttle.
Il put my hand on the emergency
throttle" Stewart said. Il found
Bill Harris already there" They
stopped the ship and prevented it
from running down survivors and
spreading fire among the lifeboats
This was their good service" which
was rewarded.
In the confusion, neither was sure
the other had reached the deck and
each made several trips back to the
engine room to look for the other.
Finally, together on deck, they
formed an able team helping launch
lifeboats and liferafts. AS flames be-
came too hot, both dived overheard

WARNING TO
RUMANIAN5
Broadcast Tells Embdtt|ed
Nation OF Results Of
Help 10 Ndzis

LONDON, March 23.-Maneuver-
ing quickly to caulk his Balkan dixie
against the Russian flood, Hitler
appeared about to kidnap the Ru-
manian government as he already
has abducted that of Hungary.
There are widespread reports that
Premier Antonescu of Rumania has
been summoned into Hitler's pres
ence as Admiral Horthy, regent of
Hungary had gone before him. There
is speculation that Antonescu will
likely be kicked out because of Ger
man suspicious that he is involved
in peace overtures to the Soviet.
The British radio has begun
broadcasting a warning to the Ru-
manians that "Rumanian leaders
have been called to Hitler's head
quarters. If you oppose Germany,
Germany will wreak vengeance on
you, but if you oppose the Allies an
even greater fate is in store. A con-
certed evidence of desire to help
the Allies now would be the first
step toward Rumania's survival"
Germany's occupation Of Rumania
would be largely academic, except
as a measure OF complete political
control for the country already little
more than German camp. A Ger
man Foreign Office spokesman
broadcast and "emphatically denied"
that Horthy is being held prisoner,
that Premier Kally escaped to south
ern Hungary, and sent out an appeal
for help from abroad, and that
Yugoslav Marshall Tito has estab-
lished contact with the Hungarian
forces.
