Pacific War Navy Scrap
Held Mostly interchangeable

Only handful of Navy scrap iron

timated yesterday. -..
a two-man civilian committee re-
ported after a 22,000-mile tour OF the
Pacific for the Secretary of the Navy
that: "
Guam has $4,000 tons of scrap

This was the only Navy scrap to be
reported favorably by the committee.
Manila has $4,000 to 75,oO0 tons of
scrap for sale by the Philippines

not be raised from the bay and
wouldn't be worth it anyway.
subic Bay holds 100000 tons of
scrap landing craft which could be

LONDON, Sunday. July 20.-More
than 1890 Germans were shot,
hanged or tortured to death in a
reign of terror which followed the
unsuccessful attempt to assassinate
Adolf Hitler July 20, 1914, the Brit
ish Admiralty announced today.
THE terror which followed (the
attempt was one of the worst that
Hitler ever organized against his
own people" the Admiralty said in
a report based on German naval
documents captured during the war
by British and American intelli-
gence officers.
The revolt was essentially re-
volt from the top" the report stated.
ut was impossible under the regime
of Hinlmler's Gestapo for ordinary
people to take part
The report traced the beginning
of the revolt. led by Col. Gen. Lud-
wig Beck, back to 1898, when he re-
signed as chief of staff in protest
against the intended invasion of
Czechoslovskia.
Gen. Beck's movement later was

zig; Count Friedrich Werner Won
der Schulenberg. former ambassa-
dor to Moscow: Field Marshall Ed
win Won Witzleben; Col. Gen. Erich
Hoepner; Gen. Friedrich Olbricht
and Admiral Walter Wilhelm Ca
naris, chief of the intelligence divi-
sion.
The report said 1t was necessary
to gain the cooperation of most
of the army commanders who were
capable of selling power, but the
one great obstacle to obtaining the
sympathy of the army was the per-
sonai oath of loyalty which all
officers had taken to Hitler"
"Hitler's crimes alone would seem
to have been sufficient reason for
breaking such an oath, but to the
German officer nothing less than
the death of Hitler could absolve
them from their obligations, the
report continued.
For the success of Beck's move
ment. therefore, the assassination of
Hitler was a sine qua non (neces-
sity)."
Motive Was Hatred for Hitler.
Col. Count Won Starffenberg be-
came a. supporter of the movement
when the defeat of Germany be-
came certain. and his vigorous and
dashing personality gave an added
impetus to the movement the Ad-
miralty reported.
The report explained that the mo-
tives behind the plan were hatred
of Hitler, and belief that. rather
than surrender he would drag the
whole nation to destruction with
him"
Count Won Stauffenberg was to
assassinate Hitler at Rastenburg
Marshal Witzleben was to assume
command of the army, and Gen. Won

In 65-MiIe Lake Crossing

LUDINGTON, Mich, July 49,
Eleven motor-d rubber life
RATS chugged against the wind
whipped waters of Lake Michigan
tonight in a dramatic 65-mile cross
ing to test Army experimental
equipment.
The departure today was delayed
seven hours by high winds which
capsized one of the smaller RATS.
The fleet was manned by Regular
and Reserve Army Air Forces per-
sonnet and carried aero-medical
officers from Wright Field, Ohio. 1t
included two 10-man RATS, two g.
man RATS. six 7-man RATS and a

The Army planned to test per-
Torrance and fuel consumption of
the motors. sunburn lotions and its
new "E" food ration during the
crossing, in which As men took

one of the top men in the State De-

Greek Fighting Cited.
"As you know from your daily
papers. the Greek Army is fighting
an open battle with large numbers
of well trained and equipped guer-
rillas on the northern 'front.'" Mr..
Lovett testified. Guerrilla leaders
have openly stated their purpose to
try to set up a stooge government
by force, and the Greek government
is faced with a much more critical
security than that which existed at
the time of the Presidents message

II cannot overemphasize the i'm
portance of speedy action on the
part of your committee and the
Congress in implementing the
Greek Turkey Act by appropriating
funds to furnish vitality needed mill
tary equipment and supplies and
the aid required in restoring the
Greek economy"
Just back from Germany, Maj
Gen, William H. Draper, jr., urged
Congress not to cut the separate
fund for relief in Germany. Japan
and Korea. He told the committee
We certainly never can fight COM

He pointed out that since the
American and British zones Of Ger

prevent the present government

The other reason, according to
diplomatic speculation. is that proc

open the possibility of its being

For that reason, he said, every dol
lar cut from the American allotment
for food and other essentials means
another dollar cut from the British
allotment.
Gen. Draper described the food
situation in Germany as critical. He
agreed that the economic recovery
of Germany depends on the Ruhr
coal situation. but that. in turn. de-
ponds on food. He said the heavy
worker, such as coal miner, is
allotted higher number of calories

added. IF coal miners family Is

eat his 5000 calories-he divides it

Gen. Draper said the pending es-
Inmates are based on getting the
ration level up to 1850 calories for

! testified, is still far below the mini
mum need fixed by public health
authorities.
! Germany Delays Recovery.
Contending that European recov-
cry cannot take place with Germany
in her present desperate condition,
Gen. Draper continued:
More than 100000 people in
the American and British zones OF
Germany at present are incapable
of supporting or even feeding Them
selves. During the prewar years
they produced huge amounts of in
dustrial products for all of Europe
IF a breakdown in the German
economy comes. and without the

Red Absence Indicates
Boycott Of Meeting
On Jap Peace Treaty
BY the Associated Press


An apparent Russian boycott
OF the first international meet
Ing called by the United States
on a japanese peace treaty was
revealed yesterday by the Soviet
Embassy and admitted by the
State Department.
Nine other countries were repre-
sented In the meeting which was
held IN the State Department on
July II, but no Russian envoy
showed up. There is speculation
whether this Is significant indi-
cation of the way in which the
Soviet Union will react to American
plans for a veto-free japanese peace
conference system.
The Soviets have not directly re-
sponded to the American proposal
for an 11-nation conference to be-
gin work on Japanese peace settle
ment August 10 In Washington or
San Francisco. Several other nations
In the British bloc have said the
date conflicts with some of their
own arrangements and should be
delayed.
Statement Issued.
What the Soviet embassy did do
after a week of silence was this
1t issued a statement yesterday de-
nying State Department press
release of last Wednesday saying
that Soviet representative had
been present at the July II session
called by Assistant Secretary John
II. Hilldring for the purpose OF
presenting the American proposals
The Soviet statement reviewed the
pertinent sections of the press re-
lease with respect to attendance and
then said that "the Soviet embassy
considers it necessary to eliminate
the inaccuracy contained in the
above mentioned press release" be-
cause there was no Soviet represen-
tative present at the Hilldring con-
ference.
This spurred the State Depart
ment's press section to issue COM
ment to this effect:
A Soviet representative was in
vited along with ENJOYS of the other
nine governments to attend the
Hilldring conference but a Soviet
representative did not actually ap-
pear"
Copy Sent to Embassy.
When his absence became ap-
parent, the department rushed to
the Russian embassy a copy of the
same proposal being given to the
representatives who had appeared
At the same time this was hap
penine Ambassador w, B. Smith was
calling on Soviet Foreign Minister
Molotov In Moscow to present the
proposals directly to him.
The State Department said: ut
Is thus clear that all 10 governments
were consulted simultaneously
What was not clear from any OF
the statements was why the Sovlets
had not attended the meeting when
everybody else had time to get
there. Some embassies were repre-
sented by ambassadors, some by
counsellors.
No explanation on this point was
forthcoming either from the Soviet
headquarters here or from the State
Department. However, from all the
evidence and timing 1t appeared
that the Soviets simply preferred to
stay away.
