TUESDAY, Advisory Commitfee On W. P. A. Projects Meets at Whife House Plans to Extend Community Service Are Discusesd Members of the W. P. A's Na- tional Advisory Committee on Com- munity Service Projects held its first meeting at the White House this morning, with Mrs. Roosevelt as chairman, to discuss plans for ex- tending the activities of the service. Mrs. Roosevelt introduced as speakers John Carmody, adminis- trator of the Federal Works Agen- cy; Col. F. C. Harrington, com- missioner of Work Projects, and Mrs. Florence Kerr, assistant com- missioner in'charge of the profes- sional and service division, Mrs. Kerr said that “while many of our projects in education, rec- reation, library work, child wel- fare, the arts and similar fields of public service reach several million people each month, we know there still is room for improvement. “We know there still is a great shortage of libraries in the rural sections, that anillions of underprivi- leged children lack adequate health and recreation facilities and that a large number of our adult popula- tion is aesperately in need of more education, “It is our hope that the Ad- visory Committee, composed of lead- ers in many flelds of community service, will be able to show us how to spread our available resources over an even greater territory than is now being reached.” Among those who volunteered to serve on the Advisory Committee and who attended the first meeting this morning were Dr. Harold H. Benjamin, dean of the school of education, University of Maryland; the Rev. Everett Clinchy, director of the National Conference of Chris- tlans and Jews, New York, and Mrs. Melvyn Douglas of Los Angeles, known on the stage as Helen Ga- hagan. A session was to be held this afternoon at the Hay-Adams House to hear discussions by W. P. A, staff members of the organization and operation of community service projects. . On Wednesday morning a perma- nent chairman will be elected and four subcommittees named to con- sider community organization, spon- sors’ relations, community informa- tion and local needs and program planning. The final session will be held Thursday afternoon, Lochner _“(Conflnqred From First Page.) if Gen. von Reichenau can intercept the allied forces heading for the coast. Besides, Hitler is not nearly as much interested in Paris as in London One must not forget that Hitler regards the present war primarily as a fight with the British Empire. | Months of incessant propaganda have inculcated this idea also in he minds of the German people. Anti-English Song Played. Significantly, every radio an- nouncement concerning events in the west ends with the stereotyped playing of the song, “We Are Sail- ing Against England.” No tune is ever played indicating an anti- French theme. The anti-English song also was played during the seizure of Denmark and the Nor- | wegian campaign. Once on control of the Belgian and French coastal harbors Hitler would want to get ready for a smashing drive on the British Isles, for which the first chapter would be a gigantic air attack. | Here, among army people, one| constantly hears this phrase uttered with decided advance satisfaction: | “Not since 1066 has England had an enemy on her shores. Hitler will continue where the Normans left off.” This may be wishful thinking, but there is no doubt that a spirit of supreme confidence pervades the army as it pours reserve after re- serve into gaps opened in the Prench | and Belgian defenses. | Another World War tragedy has —_— ey __FUNERAL_DESIGNS.

The library of the Unt of Louvain, . burned’ in 1914 “and rebuilt . with American funds, is charred wreckage once more. Plames have gutted the $500,000 structure, erected through public subscription in the United States, and have destroyed its 700,000 rare volumes, collected from around the world and contributed to replace those lost in 1914, No one seemed to be able to say how the fire started. All floors had been swept by the flames and smoke still came from the basement as we looked at it late yesterday. Many American universities co- operated to erect the new building on Herbert Hoover Square. In the Germans’ World War advance through Belgium they occupied Louvain on August 19, 1914. A week later the library was destroyed by fire, with thousands of books and manuscripts which could not be re- placed, Town Itself Shattered. To help equip the new building, which was bullt after Cardinal Mercier, head of the university, had visited the United States and sug- gested aid for it, various govern- ments contributed a total of 350,000 volumes. Of these 30,000 came from Germany, 55,000 from Britain and 33.000 from France. (It was ordered originally that the inscription, “Furore Teu- tonico Diruta; Dono Americano Restituta”—Destroyed by Ger- man Fury; Restored by Ameri- can Generosity”—be placed on the library balustrade. The balustrade was built twice with- out the inscription and both times it was destroyed by Bel- gians, but finally was allowed to remain blank.) The ancient town of Louvain itself, a 14th century cloth-making center long famous as the seat of the university, was shelled and shattered and practically the entire population of 41,000 had fled. It presented a picture of desolation. Entire families, from aged grand- mother to nursing infant, were seen perched miserably on top of spring- less carts drawn by horses. Intermi- nable lines of wanderers on foot, weighted down with as much as they could carry, trekked out of the town. The German administration was trying to organize relief with char- acteristic efficiency. I saw another scene of wrecking at Steenockerzeel, where the little Belgian castle of the Archduke Otto of Hapsburg, pretender to the van- ished Austrian throne, had been bombed and blown apart. The Germans were prompted to bomb the castle because the British had made it a divisional staff head- quarters, was said. One bomb struck beside it, digging a hole 30 feet deep and blowing off part of the roof. Otto’s shaving equipment was spread over the grand piano. Costly French prints were scattered in the wreckage. Letters belonging to Otto’s mother, the former Em- press Zita, were strewn about. (Reports last week said that Zita and her family had fled safely to France in Wdvance of the German invasion. Otto had been home but a few days after returning from a trip to the United States.) These scenes at Steenockerzeel and Louvain were in marked con- trast-to thae situation found at Brus- sels, Where I had expected-to find st least a large part of the. capital in ruins. But as a matter of fact, the city is practically unhurt. The Schaerbeek Rallway Station outside the city, from where trains *hormally journey to all parts of Bel- FRESHEN UP YOUR HOME!
