The buildings are named in honor of
outstanding Americans who have con-
tributed to the history and traditions
of the merchant marine, such as Robert
Fulton and John Paul Jones. The ad-
ministration building bears the name OF
Admiral H. A. Wiley, U. s. N. (retired,
father of the Merchant Marine Cadet
Corps.
Inshore from Wiley Hall, which archi-
tecturally resembles the White House
are the new stone domitories and class
room buildings, in a wide quadrangle
centered by the flag pole, fountain and
a memorial slab on which are listed the
cadet -midshipmen reported killed and
missing.
Into the fountain the cadets pitch
coins as good luck tokens for those at
sea- BY this means a fund, now more
than $4,000, is being established for the
erection of a permanent memorial to
cadets who have given their lives in
service.
In peacetime, the academys enroll

the complement now is at the wartime

u. S. Merchant Marine Academy Comes of Ag
BY Richard Tonpkins,
Associated Press stan Writer.

KINGS POINT, N. Y-The United
States Merchant Marine Academy has
attained its majority; it now takes place
beside West Point and Annapolis as
permanent national service institution.
No longer will merchant seamen have
to come up through the "hawse pipe"
shifting for themselves and picking up
bits of education and experience to be-
come officers.
Here is their training school, COM
plete. Its facilities are in full swing.
1t has met every demand Of the mer-
chant marine for full-fledged officers.
Baptism of Fire
These acknowledgment have had
their baptism of fire and action even
before their advanced training. Most
of them have overseas campaign bars
and some wear the Purple Heart.
Youths of II to %, scholastically and
physically qualified, are appointed to
the Merchant Marine Cadet Corps on a
State quota basis. They get basic train
ing for four months at Pass Christian,
Miss, or San Mateo, Calf. Then comes
a minimum of six months sea duty, be-
fore admission to Kings Point.
1t is ON sea duty that they become
war veterans while still in training.
Merchant marine cadet midshipmen
have participated in every invasion
landing of the war More than 600 have
been aboard ships torpedoed and sunk
by enemy action; others have been
strafed and bombed.
Seven -midshipmen have been
awarded the Distinguished Service
Medal. More than $50 have been killed
in action.
These are the type Of veterans that
comprise the corps at Kings Point-a

This was then beautiful site, the
hospital grounds covering nearly the
whole square. But the chances are
that this section was about as unim-

Chevalier de Bacourt, the French MIN

as being anything but desirable, saying:

Future of Romania's Boy Kin@

despite the late King Ferdinand's de-
cree, Carol replaced his 9-year-old son
on the throne.
One of his first acts was to sign de-
cree restoring Helen's rank as Queen.
But she would not be placated, and de-
spite the efforts of Marie and numerous
friends, the two were never reconciled.
Father and Son.
During the 10 years between Carols
return and his dramatic departure in
194O when Iron Guards threatened his
life and Hitler glared at him from the
north, relations between Carol and his
son appear to have been very affection
ate. Carol has told several lntervieWers
that he is at heart simple man, pre-
ferring sports and his books to the
splendors of a kingship.
Whether this is true or not, it is
known that he built on the grounds of
the royal palace simple lodge where
he and young Michael had bachelor
apartments and spent much time to-
gether. There seems little doubt that
Carol, with all his weaknesses, had and
has a genuine fatherly affection for
his son.
When Carol returned to the throne
one of the promises made to the
Romanian political leaders who. spon-
sored him was that Lupescu would
stay-permanently-in Paris, or at least
out of Romania. Yet he had been in
Bucharest for only a short time when
she returned to remain, except for short
Journeys to other countries, until they
were forced out in exile under a hail
of bullets. She never shared the royal
palace, but lived IN a white granite villa
in the suburbs where Carol visited her
frequently. Her presence in Bucharest
was a constant source of turmoil, not
only in the royal family but among
politicians who resented her influence
over Carol and her alleged ability to
obtain state favors for all who could
win her support.
For nearly a decade, then, the story
of Carol and Lupescu was like that of
Louis XIV and Du Barry or many an
other king and royal mistress. Court
chicanery and political intrigue trou-
bled them, but they had no major prob
lens of state.
But in 1910 the chill winds of Naziisn
blew down from Berlin and from now

By John Clagett Proctor.

There are those who can recall the
city of Washington before Alexander
r. Shepherd transformed it from a
mudhole into city of beautiful homes,
graded streets, paved sidewalks and
improved roadways. These improve
ments began in 1871, when Shepherd
was president of the Board of Public
Works and later became Governor of
the District of Columbia
Some critics blamed Mr.. Shepherd
for things he was not responsible for,
and, as faultflnders usually do, never
praised him for the many improve
ments he made in Washington which
started one of the greatest real estate

On September Antonescu persuaded
Carol to dissolve the Parliament, abol-
ish the constitution and yield all power
to him except command of the Army
and the right to make coin and to con.
clude treaties.
But this was not enough. Two days
later Antonescu said he could not form

his train was fired upon by the Iron
Guards who, incidentally. soon were
dissolved by the Berlin-backed Anto-
Tri-partite pact and sold out bag and
baggage to the Axis.
The rest can be shortly told: Carol
and the woman to whom he has been
faithful for nearly 20 years fed from
one country to another-Switzerlan
Spain, Portugal, Cuba-until at last
they found permanent asylum in Mex
leo, where they now live in villa out
side the capital.
At various times Carol has pulled
political wires in an attempt to enter
the United States to head free Ro-

connived with diplomats but once hired
a high-priced American publicity man
to plead his cause before the public

Russia's Attitude.
And as for the Russian attitude
which is what counts-toward Carols
return to the throne, that was made
plain in a recent Soviet statement
which referred to him as comic
opera field marshal who dreamed OF
annexation of foreign territory long be-
fore AntoneScu came on the scene"
Unless the political winds change
it seems likely that Carol and
Lupescu may spend many more years
as exiles from their homeland.
And what of young Michael? During
the years of Antonescu's power he was
relegated to the background, stripped oi
his powers and was indeed a ghost kine
in ghost palace. Or so it seemed.
But Michael, through secret contact!
with Romanian Communists, reached
the ears of the Kremlin. 1t was he who
on the evening of August %, had An

LANDLORDS CAUTIONED
 BY OpA RENT DIRECTOR

The approach of cold weather prompts Alaska OPA Rent Director Earl P. McCarron, to remind land lords that now is the time to have furnaces examined and repaired. Delays invariably result if an "em- ergency" is allowed to arise that could be avoided by preseason check-up and reconditioning.
 During the past summer numer- ous complaints referring to defect i've heating plants and lack of hot water were received in OPA field offices. Because of the seasonal angle and other more urgent ls- sues to be handled these com plaints have not been investigated very widely.
 Rent regulations in Alaska. as in the States require that landlords shall maintain as minimum the same type, quality and. quantity of essential services as were given on the date rents were frozen, March 1, 1922. Failure to keep that essen tial equipment in repair can also result in a Rent Directors Order decreasing the rent.

ESCAPE FROM
 CRIME" COMES
 TO 2OTH CENTURY

Warner Bros. s latest thriller, "Es- cape from Crime opens tonight at the goth Century. The fine per formances of the two leading play CTS, Richard Travis and Julie Bishop, lead to the realistic at mosphere of the film, it is said.
 The story mainly concerns itself with the attempt of paroled con- vict to establish himself once again in the community, but at the same time seek to even up things with one Duke Merrill, played by Paul Fix, who had him sent to prison on a framed-up charge.
 On his release from prison, Travis joins his wife, played by Julie Bishop, and tries to get news pho- tographer's job, but the newspapers all turn thumbs down. One day he photographs a bank robbery, and in so doing enables the police to catch the criminals. This neat bit of work gets him job on a news paper, and it is here that he runs into trouble when his editor forces him to photograph a man in the electric chair.
 Travis does so by strapping a camera to his leg. When one of the straps break and the ruse is re- vealed, both the police and prison officials are outraged to the extent of wanting him thrown back into jail.
 However, Travis clears himself and gets. his revenge when he cleverly traps Merrill in the midst of a rob bery and at the same time prevents the staying of detective who was instrumental in sending him tTrav- is) to prison.
