Westminster, Mass, who was award
ed the Distinguished Service Cross.
The Tullibee. one of the newer
submarines, was commissioned in
l943 and was 307 feet long. She
carried one 3-inch antiaircraft gun
and two antiaircraft machine guns
as well as 10 2l-inch torpedo tubes.
Trout Commissioned In 40.
The Trout was commissioned on
November Is, 1910, and carried the
same armament as the Tullibee.
The work of collecting the
valuables in the Philippines was
started shortly after the beginning
OF hostilities in the Pacific. At that
time an arrangement was reached
between the United States and the
Philippine Commonwealth under
which this country was to accent
certain types of metals. currency
and securities for safekeeping until
the end of the war.
Mr.. Willoughby was placed In
charge of the task. The gold of the
Pnllpplne treasury was already on

ton was unloaded from the SUBJ
marine, the tons of gold and other
securities were loaded by Army and
Navy ofncers, soldiers. members of
Commissioner Sayres staff, oficials
OF the Philippine Commonwealth
and Philippine stevedores.
After the loading was completed,
the submarine slipped out of the
harbor to meet a cruiser selected to
carry the gold and securities to the
United States.
The total amount of gold, silver
and other securities carried out has

HitIer's Purge, Unlike 1884 Party Episode,
Splits Reich, Marks His Doom, Lochner Says

Blaskowitx--I name but q few Of
them--have been ''liquidated. /"
When the Naxis get started on q
blood purge, they wipe out every.
body who's inconvenient at that
moment.
This purge, however, is not = sign
Of strength. 1t Is = sign Of weak
ness, measure Of despair, an ex-
preston Of hysteria.
In the immediate future there
may be internal peace and quiet, at
least on the surface.
II the civilian population decides
to support the army In general re-
volt, the greatest bloodbath In his
tory may result. For Hitler's fan
atics will shoot down friend and
foe-anything to maintain power.
Mass Meetings Likely.
During the next hours and days,
mass meetings Of loyalty to the
intuition corporal will be held
throughout the Reich. 0oebbels
will tell the world the German ma
ton is united in its love for the in
comparable Fuehrer.
These meetings will mean abso-
lutely nothing as far rs measuring
the real feelings of the people are
concerned. Those who hate Naziism
most probably will shout loudest, to
hide their real emotions and inten-
tions.
That's one of the things that the
attempt on Hitler's life has shown:
He has no way of knowing where
his friends and where his foes are
The person who planted the bomb
rendered lip service, as did others.
He could not have been suspected
even by the ubiquitous Gestapo, for
he planted the bomb unnoticed
Hitler owes his escape only to the
accident OF being slightly late.
Hitler always has been an ex-
ceedingly suspicious person. This
attempt is bound to have a shat

Bureau Tor II years.
|, Adolf Hitler's days are numbered
His purge Of 1914 is something from
which he, his party and his army
will never recover. The purge OF
1894 was child's play compared
with 1t.
This time the split goes through
the entire nation. The alleged con-
spirators whose bomb barely missed
Der Fuehrer are but symbols Of
what millions of Germans are hop
ing and praying for. Disarmed, dis
franchised, terroriEed, they looked to
the decent element In the army to
do something to end Hitlers tyr
amy.
The conspirators chose the way OF
assassination. They failed this time
Hitler's life will be guarded more
closely than ever. Many ofiicers
have been purged and will yet be
purged. Hitler and Himmler always
seize on occasions of this kind to
square accounts with everybody who
ever dared cross their paths.
More Ku'inEs Expected.
We probably shall never know
whether Col. Gen. Ludwig Beck was
guilty of conspiracy or not. For
Hitler 1t was sufhcient that this
former chief of staff resigned in
1898 to protest Hitler's march into
Austria and his rape of Czechoslo-
vakia. ! knew many of Beck's clos
est associates. There is no doubt
but that he foresaw disaster from
the very beginning of Hitler's war
on civilization and was never car
ried away by the blitz victories OF
1899 and 1910.
Nobody should be surprised to
hear that Beck's successor, Col. Gen.

Oldest Inhabitants
Announce Plans for
79th Annual Dinner

Plans for the Association of Oldest
Inhabitants 10th annual dinner to
commemorate its founding on De-
cember Z, 1865. were announced last
night at a meeting of the organi-
zation held in the Old Union Engine
House.
Charles H. Bates, a vice president
and chairman Of the Entertainment
Committee, said the event would be
held at pm. December z at the
Hotel 24O0. His committee will meet
November 10 to draft final plans for
the affair.
Current Government condemna-
ton proceedings against st. Pauls
Episcopal Church to make way for
a new George Washington Univer-
sity hospital brought forth recollec-
tions from some of the members of
the early days of the church, located
at GIT Twenty-third street NV, just
south of Washington Circle.
st. Paul's had its beginning on
October %, 1866, and for a year
services were held in the third story
of building on the southwest cor
ner of Twentieth and I streets NV,
it was related by john Clagett Proc
tor, acting president of the associa-
ton and noted historian.
The cornerstone of the church
was laid in 1867 and the building
was completed in 1868 at cost Of
about $4,000 Mr.. Proctor said. The
