A—2 ww Trustees of Negro Hospifal Foundation Plan Penny Drive Organization Seeks Better Medical Facilities for Race ‘The Board of Trustees of the Na- tional Negro Hospital Foundation, Inc, yesterday heard reports on progress of a plan for a Nation-wide drive for funds among colored per- sons to provide more satisfactory medical facilities for their race. The Rev. Amos H. Carnegie, founder and executive secretary of the organization, outlined the pro- gram and led the discussion at the meeting held in the New York Ave- nue Presbyterian Church. It is pro- posed that an average of a penny a week be donated to the foundation by each of the 13,000,000 colored persons in the United States. Mr. Carnegie, who has been inter- ested in the foundation for six years, said current plans call for a national headquarters to be set up in Wash- ington. Trustees Appointed. Among those accepting member- ship on the Board of Trustees were Dr. John W. Rustin, pastor of Mount Vernon Place Methodist Church; Dr. Peter Marshall, pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church; Dr. Frederick Brown Har- ris, pastor of Foundry Methodist Church; Dr. Edward H. Pruden, pastor of First Baptist Church; Dr. Howard Stone Anderson, pastor of First Congregational Church, and Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley, leader in civic and club affairs. Mrs. Wiley and former Judge James A. Cobb of Municipal Court, trustees, were among those present yesterday. Dr. Rustin declined an offer of a vice presidency made by Mr. Car- negie, explaining he would have to see indorsement of the movement by prominent colored medical men be- fore he could consider the latter post. He suggested officers of the foun- dation seek approval of their aims from the local Negro medical sd- ciety and officials of the Howard University Medical School. Embarrassment Tactics Charged. Mr. Carnegie said he pos- sessed written indorsements from numerous local organizations of colored physicians, but charged “four or five men” at the head of the National Medical Association (Negro counterpart of the American Medical Association) had been “using their national prestige to em- barrass this movement.” The question of the attitude of medical men was raised by Dr. Henry A. Callis, a Capital colored phy- sician, who maintained the founda- tion could serve its fundamental purpose better by seeking to insure that Negroes would not be discrimi- nated against in institutions which would be aided by the administra- tion-sponsored proposed national health program. Mrs. Julie West Hamilton, presi- dent of the Phyllis Wheatley Young ‘Women'’s Christian Association, said eftorts to obtain such guarantees in pending Federal hospital-aid legis- § lation are being conducted.

PROSPECTIVE ENSIGNS—These candidates for commissions in the Navy in the June exercises of the Naval Academy are now getting ready for inspection by the Board of Visitors from Monday through Thursday. The board, consisting of presidents Pittman Favors Fleet Able fo Defend Whole Hemishpere Alone U. S. Shouldn’t Depend on British Navy or Have to Go To Allies’ Aid, He Says By the Associated Press. Chairman Pittman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, regis- tering his support for a bigger Navy, declared today it was imperative that the United States build a fleet capable of defending the Western hemisphere alone, if necessary. Senator Pittman told reporters that he thought this country should not depend on the existence of a British fleet to maintain the Mon- roe Doctrine. Neither, he said, should the United States ever be placed in the posi- tion again of having to go to the aid of England and France to protect its own interests, as it did in the last war. “It would be less burdensome and less dangerous to provide & navy that could protect the American hemisphere against any attack than it would be to maintain a constant protectorate over Great Britain and France,” Senator Pittman said. Action Due Next Week. A navy of the size Senator Pitt- man urged would considerably ex- ceed that contemplated under the pending proposal for an 11 per cent increase in sea strength. Although advocates of this limited increase did not share Senator Pittman's be- lief in a more ambitious program, they considered his strong backing for their bill. Action hy the Senate Naval Com- mittee on the 11 per cent expansion bill is expected next week. Already approved by the House, the legisla- tion authorizes a future outlay of $655,000,000 for the construction of alrcraft carriers, cruisers, sub- marines and auxiliary ships totaling more than 240,000 tons. Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir- ginia, a8 member of the Naval Com- mittee, said he would support the fleet expansion despite his hostility to most spending proposals. “I want to economize all we can,” he explained, “but if we found our- selves without an adequate navy in a world such as today, we might find we had nothing to economize for.” Walsh Expects Approval. Chairman Walsh predicted that the committee would approve the bill with only minor changes. He said, however, he did not believe the committee would boost the incresse from 11 per cent to the 35 per cent 4 statements | = asked by the Navy since the meas- ure reached the Senate. Representative Fish, Republican, of New York denounced yesterday Rear Admiral Joseph K. Taussig’s prediction of “eventual war” with Japan and told his colleagues that Congress should investigate “in- flammatory _speeches” and war propaganda from Navy officers. The New Yorker referred to statements Admiral Taussig made Monday before the Senate Naval Committee. Navy officers, Mr. Fish said in the House, “think the only duty of our Navy is to go to war with Japan.” F. B. I. Investigates Shooting of Sentry At Quantico Prowler, Believed Planning Sabotage at Marine Base, Escapes Federal Bureau of Investigation agents today were pressing a probe into what appeared to be attempted sabotage by a nocturnal prowler who shot a sentry at a Marine base airplane hangar at Quantico, Va., early Monday morning. The Navy Department, it was learned, has turned the case over to the F. B. I, which is believed to have few, if any, clues. The sentry, Henry W. Bushwitz, was wounded slightly in the abdo- men by the prowler when the guard challenged him to identify himself. The sentry said he was walking his post about 2 a.m. near the air- field, which is about & mile and a half from the main part of the base, when he met the man in the shadows of one of the hangers. The prowler was saild to be carrying a hlow torch. . Other Marines hastened to the scene after the shot was fired, but the prowler escaped. The wounded man was taken to the post hospital, where it was determined his wound was slight. Base officers promptly dismissed & rumor that the mysterious prowler might have been seeking the Gov- ernment’s much-publicized secret bomb sight by pointing out that the dive bombers‘stationed there are not equipped with the instruments. A reliable source at the Navy Department expressed definite be- lief that the prowler was attempt- ing to sabotage Marine Corps ma- terial.

Clement P, Cox said today that he expected to make an arrest in connection with the two- alarm fire in the Oakland Apart- ments, 2006 Columbia road N. W, yesterday. He would not elaborate on his statement nor comment on reports that a discharged employe of the building was being sought. Miss Marion White, one of the owners ‘of the building, denied a statement attributed to her in The Star yesterday. She was quoted as saying that she believed the fire had been set deliberately and that she had given police the name of the man she suspected. Miss White called The Star to deny making such a charge. Fire in Two Places. The fire broke out in two different parts of the bullding at the same time, leading police and firemen to believe that arson had been com- mitted. Police pointed out that last fall there had been several fires in the same neighborhood, which they said was the work of a firebug. The fire marshal’s office would make no com- ment, merely pointing out the cir- cumstances of the fire and stating that observers were free to draw their own conclusions. About 100 persons were routed from the building by the flames and one man was hospitalized after be- ing overcome by smoke. The blaze was confined to the basement and to a spot in the lobby where two chairs were found afire. Man Badly Burned. In Georgetown Hospital, a victim of another fire was in critical con- dition. He is James Williams, 35, who gave his address as 282¢ Twelfth street N.E. A Police said the man had been liv- ing in a shack in Rock Creek Park near the Dumbarton Bridge. Last night, he staggered out of the place, his clothes sméldering, and made his way to a nearby apartment house. Removed to Georgetown, he was treated for severe burns to his neck, back and right arm. He told police that his clothing had caught fire while he was asleep.

Stavanger fo Oslo Held, Say Nazis Three British Planes Shot Down, Berlin Asserts, In Bombing Attempt By LOUIS P. LOCHNER, Associsted Press Poreisn Carrespondent. BERLIN, April 24—German su- thorities announced today that all Southern Norway between Oslo and Stavanger was under control of the German Army and that the Reich’s air and sea forces had taken heavy toll of the British Navy in the Nor- wegian campaign. The high command reported that three British planes had been shot down southwest of Stavanger in an attempt to bomb that port 200 miles southwest of Oslo. German reconnaissance planes, the high command said, had dis- covered large units of the British fleet approaching Narvik, Norway's far northern port, apparently plan- ning more extensive troop landings in that area. Austrian Alpine troops were reported ready to fight them, No New Shelling of Narvik, The German high command an- nounced that allled naval forces at Narvik had refrained from any new shelling of the town or attempt to land troops. Nazi soldlers were said to have occupied Steinkjer, approximately 50 miles north of Trondheim. DNB, the official German news agency, said this was an important strategic move which would effectively block British attempts to advance south- ward along the rail line from their debarkation point at Namsos. The communique also reported that fighting had ceased in the vicinity of Stavanger, where two Norwegian regiments were said to have been disarmed after a “short hectic fight.” Eighty Norwegians were said to have been captured in an engagement near Bergen. Airport Raid Damage Denied. Meanwhile, the high command said, Nazi bombing planes continued to interfere with British attempts to reinforce their troops in Norway, damaging two destroyers, two trans- ports and a freighter. Objectives on rail lines in the interior of Norway also were reported bombed. Authorized sources, commenting on British versions of an air raid on German-held airports near Oslo, denied that any damage of military importance had been done. “As usual, they failed to hit the mark,” said one caustic commen- tator. They dropped bombs on the residential section of Oslo without, however, doing much damage. The Estonian Legation and one foreign consulate was hit.” The same sources categorically de- nied rumors that a naval battle had taken place yesterday in the Skag- errak, Swede Protest Answered. Sweden’s protest against German flights over Swedish territory has been answered with an expression of regret that few cases of tres- passing could be established and that in such cases the incursions were | unintentional. Sweden disclosed Monday that it had protested to Berlin against vio- lations of her frontiers by German planes, “numerous and grave,” and asked assurance that there would be no repetitions. The protest was filed not long after Swedish anti-aircraft batteries had shot down a German plane which flew over fortified island off Goteborg, disregarding a warning to veer off. Swedish newspapers expressed belief that German recon- naissance planes had been ‘“delib- erately” flying over Sweden's forti- | fied zones. Negotiating in Stockholm. Germany and Sweden are nego- | tiating in Stockholm for a settle- ment of economic problems which have arisen for the Baltic Sea coun- tries as a result of the Nazi occupa- tion of Norway and Denmark, it was reported. Dienst aus Deutschland, authori- tative news commentary, pointed out “the possibility and the necessity” of increased trade between Germany and Sweden now that Scandinavia has been cut off from Britain and France. Authorized sources said the Swed- ish press apologized today for yes- terday’'s strictures on German war methods in Scandinaviaand that the incident was considered closed. The German general staff last week was reported keeping an eye on developments in Sweden to meet effectively any possible signs of Brit- ish attempts to invade Sweden. Ordinary travel to the Baltic States was banned. Argem_ina Bans 'Nest’ Planned by Fasclsts By the Associated Press. BUENOS AIRES, April 24—Word that Italian Fascists here have or- ganized a “nest” to combat “all demrocracies” brought from authori- tative quarters today the statement that the government “would not allow creation in Argentina of alien groups whose aims are contrary to the republican and democratic prin- ciples of the country.” News of the formation of the or- ganization came in a dispatch from Rome telling of a news story from Buenos Aires to the Italian news- paper Regime Fascista which said old guard Fescists voted the follow- ing order of the day: “The new group of Fascists of the First Hour, in view of the arbitrary decisions of the Argentine govern- ment which prohibit Fasces of com- bat in the country, has arisen with pure Italian blood and resolves to|* send its adherence to the really squadristic policy of imperial Italy sustained by Roberto Farinacci, faithful collaborator of Il Duce, and at the same time comstitute .itself, with its valorous and representative battle name, in a nest which will t in this decisive hour against sll democracies.” Dr. H.

DNB arrived at this two-week total in a detailed compilation made on the basis of the daily communi- ques of the German high com- mand. The statement was made to counteract statements of the allles concerning naval losses, DNB said. This is the summary the agency made: Sunk or set afire! 5 cruisers, 7 destroyers, 14 submarines and 3 transports. ' Struck or severely damaged; 7 battleships, 8 cruisers, 1 airplane carrier, 8 transports and 4 de- stroyers. 300 Get Certificates For Completing Red Cross Courses Bishop Freeman Praises Organization’s Work at Exercises Praise for the Red Cross as an organization that serves without discriminating against class or race was voiced by the Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, as certificates were presenied yes- terday to men and women who have completed courses in the Dis- trict Chapter of the American Red Cross. More than 300 inddividuals, rep- resenting a total of 22,021 who have completed instruction, were pre- sented with certificates at exercises in the Interior Department audi- torium. | The activities for which certifi- | cates were presented included staff | assistance, hospital and recreation corps, braille corps, motor corps, home service corps, food and nutri- | tion, home hygiene and care of the‘ sick and first aid and life saving. | Bishop Freeman, principal speaker at the exercises, told the audience that “in a world gone mad, doml-‘l nated by selfishness and lust for power, it is refreshing and stimulat- ing to meet with a group like this whose high purpose is service to others, not to be ministered unto, but to minister.” “A stage has been reached in the life of the world,” he declared, “where a sharp. line of division is made between those who live for selfish ends and those who live for selfless service.” Speaking of the war, he asserted | that “although we are neutral and | must remain sa, we know where our sympathies are.” He urged laying more stress on the corporal unity of the Nation, “realiz- ing we are bound together for better or worse, richer or poorer, until death do us part.” Miss Mabel T. Boardman, director | of the volunteer special services, | presented the certificates, and Gen. | | F. R. Keefer, chairman of the Dis- 1 trict chapter, presided. Congress in Brief TODAY. Confessed Killers Tour City Giving Police Data on Their Holdups Youths Who Admitted Sirkis Robbery Murder Tell of 25 Other Crimes ‘Two colored youths who have con- fessed the holdup murder of Her- man Sirkis, Northeast liquor store proprietor, along with some 25 other robberies, have been using their ex- cellent memories to pave their way to prison, police revealed today. The youths have pointed out the victims ' of their robberies and furnished details on the crimes— when the victims themselves could not identify the suspects. Capt. Jeremiah Sullivan of the second precinct, jubilant over the arrests in the District's No. 1 crime of recent date, told today how the youths had built up the case against themselves. The two were arrested Satur- day by two uniformed policemen, Charles Burns and C. G. Edwards, after a holdup and some subsequent gun play. This robbery—in the 1400 block of Ninth street N.W.—made the first break that was to lead to the confession of the murder. Identify Their Victims. Since then, the two have been traveling from place to place with police, pointing out the stores they held up during the last three months. Some of their victims hesi- tated in identifying the robbers. The youths then stepped forward and identified the victims, even showing them in some cases the exact spot where they were standing when the robbery was committed. Apparently, they were being help- ful in this manner to keep the police from pressing them too closely on the Sirkis slaying. But homicide squad detectives questioned them at length and finally the two con- fessed. Mr. Sirkis was killed on February 26 in his store in the 4800 block of Deane avenue N.E. He had chosen to shoot it out with two colored bandits who had robbed the store. One Admits Firing Shot. He was dropped by a single bullet, which pierced his h art. One of the two suspects now held admits firing the shot—over his shoulder as he fled—while the other admits being | present at the time, police said Their initial blunder occurred during the holdup last Friday, when three youths, in attempting - to frighten Sam Wertleib, the pro- prietor, said: . “If you don't keep quiet, we'll do what we did out in Deanwood.” A few hours later police cap- tured one of the robbers after ex- changing a number of shots. The other two were rounded up subse- quently and then started talking. Ballistics Tests Made. At first they denied any knowledge of the Sirkis shooting, and police were inclined to accept their story. Lt. John Fowler of the robbery squad conducted ballistics tests on the gun taken from them, however, and then the homicide squad moved in to question the trio. From two of them confessions were obtained. The third denied participation in the slaying, al- though admitting that he had been in on the other robberies. Lt. Fowler said that the three had admitted approximately 25 robberies in the last few months, which brought them from $10 to $120 each. Their total loot was around $3,000, he said. Ice Cream Store Robbed. Police today were seeking another bandit, who made attempts to rob two ice cream stores last night.

A few minutes later, he attempted to use the same tactics on Mrs. Marie Dunbar, clerk in a store at 1128 Twenty-fifth street N.W. But Mrs. Dunbar slammed the cash drawer shut and fled to the rear of the store. The bandit ran— leaving behind 15 cents change from a purchase he had made upon enter- ing the store. Carl Helberg, 25, attendant in a filling station at Vermont avenue and K street N.W., reported that a bandit obtained $12 from him last night after threatening him with a | revolver.
