Trade Board Elects 10 Directors at Annual Meefing Commissioner Young Tells Members of ‘For the People’ Platform Approximately 1,000 members of the Board of Trade turned out last night for the organization’s annual meeting at the Mayflower Hotel, which was high-lighted by the elec- tion of 10 members to the Board of Directors. The new directors are John J. Hasley, Herman F. Carl, C. Hayward Marshall, Alfred G. Neal, James B. Edmunds, John A. Reilly, W. W. Everett, Lawrence E. Williams, Granville Gude and Edgar Morris. Lively campaigning in the corri- dors preceded the balloting. Elec- tion judges were Richmond B. Keech, Joseph A. Burkhart and Raymond M. Florance. Commissioner John Russell Young was introduced to the members by President Williams, who pledged support to the new city head. Mr. Young said he expected to call on the board for advice. “For the People” Platform. “A lot of people have asked what my platform is and what policies I will follow. I'm for the people,” he said, and added “I can't go wrong on that.” Mr, Young, who is a member of the board, related with a smile his initiation at the Capitol as a District Commissioner. “To give you an idea of how effec- tive I was,” he grinned. “The next day I saw where the city deficit had increased $800,000.” Six members were honored for their work in getting new members for the board. They were Garrett Pendleton, Christian Heurich, jr.; Thomas J. Groom, Clarence W. Gosnell, James A. Cassidy and W./| Russell Lamar. It was announced the directors would meet Saturday at 11 am. in the board’s offices to elect officers. EVENING* STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The Republican presidential as- pirant has scheduled a visit next week to the home of his ancestors at West Townshend, Vt. This was the birthplace of Al- phonso Taft, grandfather of the Ohio Senator and first of the na- tionally famous Tafts. The great- grandfather, Peter Taft, settled at West Townshend in the 1790s. Alphonso went to Cincinnati and became judge of the Superior Court. President Grant called him to be Secretary of War and later he was Minister to Austria and Russia. Alphonso’s son, William Héward, became President of the United States and Chief Justice of the| Unitea States Supreme Court.

Referring to recent remarks by Thomas Dewey, Republican presi- dential candidate, that Washington was a “boom town,” Mr. Marris said he didn’t know about that, but the Greater National Capital Committee was “working to keep Washington from being a depression town.” In contributing to the committee’s fund campaign, he said, the members would not be giving, but rather investing. Mr. Hasley, chairman of the com- mittee’s drive, briefly outlined the drive for $62,500. Thus far, he said, $47,267 has been raised. Mr. Hasley described as “conservative” an esti- -mate that 3,700,000 visitors annually | bring $60,000,000 to the Capital. A feature of the meeting was the highly confidential and off-the- | record address on foreign affairs by Dr. Merriwell Lippman Crock, pre- sented as an analyst, economist and strategist. Dr. Crock was later re- vealed to the members to be Repre- sentative Vorys of Ohio.

Sweden, meanwhile, is taking a realistic view of her trade problems and discussion of possible new sea routes via Petsamo and Murmansk, Finnish and Russian Arctic ports, and Odessa, Russian Black Sea port, are under way. The liberal newspaper Dagens Nyheter called the Norwegian con- flict important politically as well as strategically, particularly in how it influences Italy. Nazi-Held Fort Blasted. British warplanes blasted at a German-held fort commanding the entrance to Tronheim Fjord, which curves inland 80 miles from the Atlantic at Norway's middle. Agdenes fortress, guardian of the fjord, and three nearby Ger- man destroyers replied to the British bomb attack with heavy anti-aircraft fire, but it was not de- termined whether success was scored by either side. The destroyers had aided Nazi troops in repulsing the British at Steinkjer. Though principal fighting focused on the Trondheim Fjord area, Ger- man warplanes also ranged the length of East Central Norway, while their land forces pressed fur- ther the Nazi occupation. German mastery in the air was & prime factor in the fighting, a mas- tery aided by Germany’s hold on the best air bases in Norway, seized in the first moments of the Norwegian invasion 15 days ago. More German bombs were show- ered on Namsos to head off further troop landings, but the allies said their expeditionary forces were fil- tering steadily into Norway. King Bars Negotiations. While Norway’s troops were fight- ing off the German invaders, King Haakon VII from secret head- quarters proclaimed that “there is no basis for negotiation” between Norway and Germany so long as German troops remain on Norweg- ian soil. He also refused to recog- nize the new administrative council set up in Oslo after the invasion. In a letter to Paal Berg, president of the Norwegian Supreme Court, who authorized the administrative council, the King declared the BEACON can be expected to urge these peopie to obey German authorities,” the King said. Clark Urges Reprimand For Admiral Taussig By the Associated Press. A severe reprimand for Admiral Joseph K. Taussig was suggested yesterday by Senator Clark, Demo- | crat, of Missouri, in eriticizing Ad- | miral Taussig for predicting even- | tual war with Japan. Senator Clark, reminding report- | ers that he had introduced a bill | which would prevent Army and | Navy officers from commenting on | questions of international policy | when they appeared before con- gressional committees, declared that Admiral Taussig's .remark “might well be a proper subject for a court- martial.” He added, however, that he did not believe a court-martial in this case was possible under present laws. Admiral Taussig’s statement was made in testimony this week before the Senate Naval Affairs Commit- tee, which was considering a naval expansion bill.

Georgia's Delegates Urge Roosevelt To Run Again Executive Committee Selects 72 Convention Representatives By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga., April 25.—Geor- gia’s Democratic Executive Commit- tee today elected to the party's national convention 72 delegates who promptly urged President Roosevelt to run for a third term. By naming the delegation itself, the committee ignored appeals for a presidential preference primary, one of which came from a group em- bracing advocates of Vice President Garner and outspoken anti-New Dealers. Committing themselves to support Mr. Roosevelt should he seek re- election, the delegates empowered New Deal Gov. E. D. Rivers to cast Georgia’s 24 votes for them at Chi- cago as & unit, and “as directed. As Georgia's Democratic national committeeman, Gov. Rivers pre- sented to the delegation a resolu- tion of ‘allegiance to the President which said “it would seem as unwise to deprive ourselves of the asset of our Army and Navy or air force as to deprive this Nation of the asset of Franklin D. Roosevelt.” The document was signed by Gov. Rivers, National Committeewoman Virginia Polhill Price, State Commit- tee Chairman Jim L. Gillis and the delegates after its adoption. “We know the President is not a candidate for renomination,” said the resolution. “We know he will not accept that nomination if it be tendered unless it should come under such circumstances as to make it an imperative duty.” The President, now at the “Little ‘White House” in Warm Springs, Ga., is to receive the resolution from a delegation committee, possibly the A IET!)ER DEAL PoNTIAC SIX—EIGHT—TORPEDO H.
