him in the stern.
"It was approaching sunset
and L believe we were about
two miles out opposite the foot
Of Ten Mile road-anyway, we
could see Shores Harbor.
GAVE SUDDEN LURCH
"The boat seemed to sail pes
fectly, and we had about de-
cided to return to our dock
when IL gave sudden lurch.
Before we knew what had
happened we were In the water,
but all of us managed 10 get
hold Of the boat, which seemed
to riding on her side. Irmagard
had life preserver, but couldn't
get 1t on properly.
I'VE looked everywhere for
another boat. 1t was getting
darker all the time.
I'VE thought sure that some
boat would be along soon to
pick us up, but suppose they
couldn't see us with the sail
and spar down in the water.
RELEASED SAIL
II finally managed TO loosen
the mast and release the sail,
and that gave us all something
better to hang to. Later the
boat seemed to right itself and
we climbed in. But il was COM
pletely awash and within n
short time we were standing in
water almost up TO our armpits.
We had nothing to cling to then
but the spar.

sion. according to Tokyo broad
casts.
In the presence OF the emperor,
whom the Japanese regard as q
god, Premier Suzuki reviewed the
war situation and painted a
gloomy picture OF the empire s
future.
"The Allies demand for un-
conditional surrender" he said.-
"leaves Japan no alternative but
20 fight this war TO the very
last"
Suzuki said that as for himself
II was a matter of the utmost re-
gret that the United States and
japan were at war.
CLAIMS WAR DEFENSIVE
He attempted to justify his
country's actions by insisting
that Japan was fighting a purely
defensive war, her object being
the stabiliZation Of East Asia
against the ambitions OF United
States and Britain.
Navy Minister Mitsumas Yonai
brought more bad news for the
Mikado and the Diet in his re-
port on Okinawa.
"The battle has gone against
Japan" he said, but added that
the whole Jap navy had been
turned into a suicide corps 10
protect the home shores against
the expected invasion.
Announcement that the Diet
was in session after a recess Of
several months came suddenly,
although Japanese reports in the
last two days had indicated big
political developments might be
expected. Usually such sessions
are preceded by much fanfare
from Japanese propagandists.

Washington Cathedra
Service Celebrates
50th Diocesan Year
BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.

Men and women who were chill
dren In 1895 filled Washington Ca
thedral yesterday afternoon to join
In celebrating the 50th anniversary
Of the establishment of the Wash
ington Diocese In that year.
Chosen to preach the sermon OF
commemoration and thanksgiving
was the Right Rev. Noble c. Powell,
Bishop of Maryland, formerly dean
Of the Cathedral and still a men,
Der of its chapter. He told the con-
gregation:
Il bring you the greeting and the
blessing of your old mother. the
Maryland Diocese. We all are
thankful for the achievement of the
past SO years and grateful to the
leaders, clerical and lay alike, who
directed the work. The Diocese of
Washington has been source of
strength in the Nation and in the
church as whole. But the power
with which God has endowed this
diocese will be needed to its utmost
extent for the task with lies ahead.
1--WE are citizens of the latest
moment Of time. The world at
large is a wreck. Our foundations
have been broken. The things we
trusted have failed. Our humani-
tarianism that was to bring us
peace and security has degenerated
in many places into sheer brutality
The science that was to give us
prosperity has brought us to SELF
destruction. True, we have had an
amazing achievement in our day
But the achievement has given us
more problems to solve. What faces
us is not ease and rest. Rather it
is vast difficulties. solemn issues
We shall require all we can muster
of increased skill and added wisdom
for the work we have to do. Above
all, We shall need the faith of the
fathers-'the assurance of things
hoped for, the conviction of things
not seem"
At the beginning Of the service
the choir and diocesan clergy
marched from the crypt of the Ca
thedral to the great choir to the
music Of Haydn's Austria: Glorious
Things of Thee Are Spoken" Canon
w. Curtis Draper read the opening
sentences and the Rev Edward Cab
Ter, president of the Standing Com
mittee, and the Very Rev. John
Wallace Suter, dean of the Cathe-
dral, the bidding to prayer for the
church, the President of the United
States, the ministers of the Word
and "all who are in sickness or in
sorrow" The choir then sang Wes-
ley's THE Church's One Founda-
ton and the Rev. DR.. Franklin j.
Bohanan led the congregation in a
litany of thanksgiving, closing with
the Lords Prayer. Bishop Powell
gave the benediction.
A message fro mthe Right Rev
Angus Dun, Bishop of Washington,
recuperating after an operation in
Boston, was read during the service.

White House Denies
Report Ber|e Plans
To Quit as Envoy

Reports that Adolph A. Berle, jr.
was giving up his post as Ambassa-
dor to Brazil were denied at the
White House today.
Charles G.. Ross, press secretary
said Mr.. Berle was coming back on
''his own initiative" and that while
he did not know the reason for the
visit, the envoy was not resigning.
The White House yesterday dis
claimed knowledge of a published
report that President Truman has
recalled Mr.. Berle to explain charges
of political Intervention in the Bra
lillian presidential campaign.
Eben Ayers, assistant press secre-
tary, told the Associated Press he
had heard nothing about the
matter"
The report, published by the New
York Herald Tribune, said Mr.. Tru-
man was disturbed over the fact
that Mr.. Berle had apologized to
former President Vargas for a
speech given on September 20 in
which he declared the United States
favored the holding of elections in
Brazil on schedule.
State Department officials, IA
miliar with the Brazilian situation,
said they, too, had heard nothing
about the reported Truman recall
and declared they had received no
word from Rio de Janeiro on any
apology by Mr.. Berle.
The address was made before the
Brazilian Journalists Union and
published widely in the Brazilian
press. Supporters of former Presi-
dent Vargas attacked Mr.. Berle on
charges of intervening in internal
affairs while other political elements
in the country applauded the Am
bassador for clarifying the United
States position.
American officials report that more
than 1000 kilograms of congratula-
ton were received by the United
States Embassy in Rio from all parts
of the country and that only a very
few others criticizing the speech were
received.
