Ls PAGE 10 ~ "Harvard's Bath k¢ Offer Spurned

'- CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept. 25 (U. P.).—An invitation by editors of the Harvard Crimson, under‘graduate daily newspaper, for Mount Holyoke College girls to “share our showers for the duration of the drought” was spurned poetically today. The offer “to the college’s “1000 comely if dirty” girls was rejected ‘in a couplet signed by the student government and telegraphed to the Crimson office. It read: “The unwashed misses regret, “No real necessity yet.”

The Crimson’s telegraphic in-.

vitation had said: “Have heard of your waterless plight. ‘Crimson extends invitation to all Mount Holyoke girls . to come and share our showers. Harvard men find best way to ‘ make friends is sharing common bath facilities. Now when you feel like girls in soap ads and when bathless Yale men won't come within 10 feet of you, Harvard wants to make friends. “Our showers are big enough for two. RSVP.”

6. 0. P. VICTORY CALLED ‘MUST’

Party Triumph Needed to Avoid U. S. Bankruptcy, Martin Warns.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25 (U. P). —Only a Republican victory in 1942 can save the country from national bankruptcy, Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr. (R. Mass.), chairman of the Republican National Committee, told the Women’s Political Study Club last night. “The people of America must wake up to the trend of government in this country,” he warned. “We are drifting toward a new type of government which threatens to end the American way of life.” Rep. Martin declared that constitutional government was seriously threatened when men in high office overstepped their powers.. He described as “only a beautiful memory” the balanced government of executive, judicial and legislative branches. ; “Pree enterprise has been under severe attack for nine years and is now in real danger of extinction. There is grave danger of national bankruptcy with all its serious consequences of inflation, debt repudiation and some new system of government.” Calls for Economy

Declaring that spending for defense had the support of almost the entire Congress, Mr. Martin said that there still was necessity for economy in non-defense spending and that the Republicans in Congress were working towards that end. He said that the Republicans for more than a year have sought for appointment of a non-partisan committee to obtain economy but when Rep. Allen Treadway (R. Mass.) introduced a resolution toward that end “he was never granted a hearing by the rules committee.” : “The people and the country can be rescued from these dangers by the election of a Republican House of Representatives in 1942,” he said. “There can be no hope from the New Deal. They have had their chance and failed. With complete control of every branch of Government, unlimited power and money. they have failed to rescue the country from emergency. Their answer to every new crisis is a request for more power and more money until they have brought us to the brink of bankruptcy and possibly the loss of our form of government.”

FRANCE TO IGNORE ‘TIGER’S’ BIRTHDAY

VICHY, France, Sept. 25 (U. P.). —Because authorities question the appropriateness of a formal ceremony, the 100th anniversary of the: birth of Georges Clemenceau,

mier, will be officially ignored Sun-

ay. Only his former valet and chauffeur and a few close friends will make their annual pilgrimage to the tomb of “the Tiger of France.”

P.) —Indiana’s traffic code defines a vehicle as “every device in, upon, or by which any persons or property is or may be transported or drawn upon a highway, except devices moved by human power or used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks.” So, police decided, a horse must be a vehicle.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 (U. P.). —House Apprepriations Committeemen today quoted Admiral Harold R. Stark, Chief of Naval Operations, as reporting that North Atlantic shipping losses have been reduced materially in the last 60 days—the

| period of increasing American naval

activity in the area—but are still dangerous. This information was submitted by Admiral Stark in testimony before the House Deficiency Appropriations Subcommittee in support of the President’s request for new lendlease appropriation of $5,985,000,000, which includes $850,000,000 for new ships. Admiral Stark told the Committee, these sources said, that last spring’s rate of sinkings had been cut sharply. But, he added, the rate continues at a serious pace and no miracles should be expected of this Government’s decision to clear the North Atlantic shipping lanes of Nazi “rattlesnakes.” : He informed the Subcommittee that the present American Naval policy was to convoy British supply ships as far as Iceland where they are picked up by the Royal Navy and then escorted to British ports. He was quoted as saying that the Navy is “convoying plenty of ships and making no bones. about it.” Leaders of both Houses expected an early conference with Mr. Roosevelt on the extent of the legisla-

tion to revise the Neutrality Act, which now prevents American merchant ships from sailing into combat zones as well as prohibiting the arming of these vessels. One ranking Legislative leader predicted that the President would leave to Congress the extent to which the act should be revised, preferring repeal of the Act but with willingness to accept elimination only of the ban on arming merchant ships.
