medical officer for the 9th Naval
District, said that as an admins
traitor he always has tried to keep
up with the medical developments
and that he will work closely with
visiting doctors who come to Gal
linger.
Mr.. Mason and I agree that
while patients at Gallinger are
largely INDECENT, they are wards Of
the community - and they should
receive the same service as paid
patients. The public is paying for
them and they should receive the
best in humanitarian care and
surgical and medical service"

Mr.. Mason explained today that his
appointment will not be made until
the Senate passes bill which will
enable DR.. Sweeney to accept the

plans of the Commissioners and the
Health Department for expanding
the hospital into a municipal med

during his medical career, to tuber-
culosis and had been associated with
the Anti-Tuberculosis League in

Million Increase
Reported Today
In f Bond Sales
District TotoI Rises
To $l99, 500, 900,
or 1861 of Quote

An increase of 5000 900 in War
Bond sales, including an "encourag-
ing" $1,000, 900 in E bonds, was an
nounced by Mighty Seventh" War
Loan on1cials today. The drive total
in Washington is now $1s9, SOC, ,0o0-
1865 per cent of the $113,000, 900
quota.
The $1,000, 900 increase in E Bonds
Is the best part of today's report,
Wilmer j. Waller, drive chairman,
said, because 1t indicates increased
support by the small investor. The
sale OF these smaller bonds now has
reached $34, 500 ,000-7l.9 per cent of
the $48, 8,000, 900 quota.
Cooperation bond sales, which
have put the drive far "over the top"
now stand at $l33, ,700, ,000-31o.9 Der
cent of the $43, 900 900 quota. While
also gratifying, Mr.. Waller said,
these sales tend to give the impress
sion the Mighty Seventh" is over.
Actually it is not scheduled to end
until Saturday and will not be con-
sidered over until the E bond quota
is met, Mr.. Waller indicated.
Asks 1so, 900 Buyers This Week.
The chairman asked that 180, 1000
Washingtonians buy an extra 500
bond this week, saying that the
purchase price of SIS would about
make up the deficit in E bonds
Mr.. Waller added that he wished
the $4,000 volunteer bond statesmen
would go after every possible pros
pect" to ring up 10000 sales In the
next six days.
TT is certainly within the realm
Of possibility that 10000 indi-
viduals in the District can afford
the extra 500 bond when the coun-
try needs it as it now does" Mr.
Waller said. This figure represents
about one-third, of the gainfully
employed persons in. , the District
This third is in the upper income
brackets where the purchase of an
extra bond in many cases would
not be a hardship"
Nationally, officials expressed con-
cern over the slow accumulation
Of little money" The national E
bond quota of $4,000, 900 900 is still
% per cent short of completion,
although the total drive of $4,000
600, 900 has now been oversubscribed
by $4,000, ,0O0, 900.
Meanwhile, 1t. Gen. Eugene Rey-
bold, chief of Army engineers,
added a plea for success of the e
Bond quotas Nationwide.
Will Help Shorten War.
"The soldiers view of the Mighty
Seventh" he said. lis based on one
thing-will its success help to shorten
the war? The answer is yes and
that's why We are cheered by every
bit OF news about how the drive
is going. especially in the E bond
bracket"
More than 1000 E bonds of vary
ing denominations have been sold
to Washingtonians for admission to
the Nazi submarine, the U-505, Mr.
Waller announced. The submarine
will be open to inspection by bond
buyers through Thursday at pm

Duce Hopes Struggle

August 28-'"The day, so to speak,

resulted from the need of the Ger
mans to send troops to the western
front. j.. II Duce now is serene. He
does not want to say the word

frame of mind. He even begins to
hope that the struggle will be long
hard and bloody for others. In this
he sees great advantages for U.S."
August 29-"Il Duce is nervous
Certain articles in the British press
which speak of the necessity fol-
Italian neutrality, have had bad
effect on him. Halifax telephones

not, nor could it, give the Germans
all they ask. >. News reaches us of
general mobilization in Warsaw
and it is not the kind of news to
quiet the nerves. II Duce is con-
vinced that the invasion will occur

THE idea of forced neutrality
weighs more and more upon him

all the necessary preparations sc

Torrance Connen, an accountant
for grand jury action in connection
with the death Saturday of 9-year-
old Donald Raymond De Vol, who
was killed by an automobile as he
sat on curb folding newspaper
for delivery. #..s :
When the dead boys father
Harry Donald De Vol, price analyst
In the Office of Supply, War Food
Administration, who lives at 4423
Harrison street NV, confronted
Connell at the morgue this morning,
he realized that he had known the
driver of the death car for years.
"He used to come to the Office of
the late Senator Huey Long of
Louisiana when I was his secretary" :"
Mr.. De Vol told.The Star reporter.
When Coroner A. Magruder Mac
Donald read the charge concerning
the accident, Connell, a short, bald
ing, gray-haired man. whe wears
eyeglasses, held his arms tightly
over his chest and pressed his lips
to keep back the tears.
At one point he was unable to re-
strain his crying and wiped his eyes
with a handkerchief. On the other
side of the rail, Mr.. De Vol and his
12-year-old son, Robert, for whom
Donald was folding papers for his
Star delivery route when the acci-
dent occurred, sat listening intently
to the proceedings.
Detective Lawrence A. Hartnett
Of the eighth precinct said that when
he arrived at the scene of the acci-
dent young Donald was lying in the
gutter with blood over his face and
that the papers were scattered
around the street. The detective
said that he spoke to Connen and
to his companion in the car. Comdr
Stanley Livingston Wilson of the
photographic division of the Navy
The detective testified that there
was no doubt in my mind that both
the commander and Connel were
under the influence of intoxicants. u
Detective Hartnett stated that toe
commander said to him:
Il am just as guilty as he (Con-
nelly is"
He also said that the commander
stated he had told Connen that he
(the commander) should have
driven the car and that then the
accident would never have occurred.
In explanation Of why he said
he should have driven the car,
Comdr. Wilson said, according to
the detective, that "Connell had
too much aboard"
According to the police officer
Connen explained when told the
boy was dead, He couldn't be,
Don't tell me he is dead"
When Comdr. Wilson took the
stand he admitted he and Connel]
had had q few drinks during the aft
|ernoon, but denied they were under
the influence OF liquor. He also said
that the car was going no more than
10 to 20 miles per hour just before
the accident occurred.
Comdr. Wilson also was held after
the accident and was charged with
being drunk and disorderly. Ac-
cording to Detective Hartnett, the
commander was rather obstreperous
Immediately after the accident.

great tension and did not recall act
