WASHINGTON Merry-Go-Round Pressure Continuing On F.D.R. to Permit American Convoys for Shipments to Britain By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Advisers who have talked to the president during the last four months say that he has gone through a significant transition regarding aid to Britain, also regarding a more aggressive policy toward Japan.

Last August, for instance, Secretaries Stimson, Knox and Mor-genthau, who have strong influence on international policy, wanted Roosevelt to bar all oil shipments to Japan. But the state department persuaded Roosevelt to the contrary. Several months later, when the Duke of Windsor flew to visit Roosevelt during his Caribbean cruise, the duke put up to him the desperate plight of British shipping and asked for American naval convoys to protect British ships across the Atlantic. To this the president gave an emphatic no. It was at approximately the tame time that the late Lord Lothian came back from England and submitted a list of the naval vessels Britain would need to maintain her lifeline of supplies from the U.S.A.

The list Included not only destroyers, but four cruisers of the Omaha class. Lord Lothian did not actually ask for these ships. He merely listed the vessels which Britain desperately needed. But Roosevelt continued to shy away from the idea of convoying British Bhips with U. S.

naval vessels. Later certain White House advisers, including such powerful figures as Secretaries Knox and Stimson pointed out that the British navy had lost a terrifio toll of men, did not even have enough seamen to man the American over-age destroyers. What Britain needed was ships manned by the U. S. navy Bombed Shipyards The British picture was also made depressing by the difficulty of finishing work on vessels in British shipyards.

Two battleships of the King George class were launched last spring, but since then no ship of any importance has come off the ways. Reason is that the bombardment of Britain began in earnest last summer, and shipyards have been one of the main targets. Since the yards are exposed, they have suffered much more than factories. As a result, ships have been bombed, patched up, then bombed again. Another development is that within the last 10 days in the Mediterranean, where the British have lost the equivalent of seven ships.

The Southampton was sunk, the Illustrious put out of commission, and five others damaged so badly that repairs will take two or three months. Repairs are difficult in the Mediterranean, because Malta is under constant bombardment and the naval base at Gibraltar is small. Meanwhile German bombers, realizing that the strength of the British fleet in the Mediterranean is the key to victory, have taken over Italian bases and are raining destruction on the royal navy. This succession of events has increased the pressure on Roosevelt to change his mind about U. S.

naval convoys for British shipping, but so far no commitments have been given the British, and no policy has been decided for convoying ships to England. Wallace and Senators Vice-President Henry Wallace will have to change either his office system or his secretary. Otherwise he is headed for trouble in the senate. The other day Senator James E. Murray of Montana dropped Into Wallace's office to see him about a legislative matter, only to be informed that he would have to make an appointment.

"However," the Girl Friday added generously, "if you would like to shake hands with Mr. Wallace, I'll see if I can get him to step out for a moment. That's about all the time he can spare." Senators are not accustomed to being stiff-armed like that anywhere in Washington, and particularly not in the capitol. For a moment, Murray was nonplussed, but only for a moment. "Listen, young lady," he said with great firmness, "I don't want to shake hands with Mr.

Wallace and neither do I want his autograph. I have important business to discuss with him and he and I will decide how much time will be devoted to it. Now you march in and tell Mr. Wallace I'm here." She did and a few seconds later Murray was ushered inside. Down Pennsylvania Avenue One of the most rapt listeners to the inaugural address was a Holland -born -American named Siegfried Bechhold, president of the Armored Tank Corp.

At the moment of greatest climax in the president's speech that nation from disruption from a flashlight bulb burst with the sound of gunshot. While all eyes were turned on the president, a ring of secret service men turned their backs on him and their eyes on the crowd.

New Trainer Designed By Morrow Engineers Exterior of Factory's North Wing Rises on Tract Near San Bernardino The Morrow Aircraft corporation's engineering staff, recently enlarged, is now completing production drawings for the plastic-plywood training plane to be manufactured in large numbers at the new factory under construction in San Bernardino. The corporation has a plant In Los Angeles, but a greatly expanded production schedule makes the San Bernardino factory necessary, according to Howard Morrow, president. The Morrow firm plans to begin at once the manufacture of certain parts for the new training plane, but permanent production jigs will not be erected until the San Bernardino plant is finished. Theodore Mc-Clellan, of Buttress McClellan, industrial engineers holding the construction contract, said the new plant will be ready in about 30 days. NEW REPORT CARD THAT ANALYZES CLASS WORK TESTED BY SCHOOLS By WALTER SECOR A new report card designed to promote a better understanding between the home and the school, and to otherwise advance the general welfare of pupils, is being tested in San Bernardino county schools, C.

Burton Thrall, county superintendent of schools, said yesterday. In the past parents have complained that the report cards were too meager; that they did not give sufficient information to enable mothers and fathers to intelligently interpret the progress being made at school. The new report card system is the culmination of two years' work on the part of a committee of 35 San Bernardino county school administrators, supervisors, parents and teachers, and has attracted the attention of educators throughout the nation. HEALTH IMPORTANT Mrs. Ruth Reed, general supervisor of elementary education and Edward Hausladen, supervisor of attendance and physical education, are co-chairmen of the committee.

Report cards used in the past listed individual subjects studied by pupils and employed the familiar alphabetical rating of or the numerical rating of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. These report cards made no reference to the child's health, his social behavior or his work habits. It was very common for an intelligent child to get high grades continually, even though he wasted much time and worked far less than he should, Mrs. Reed said. The committee believe that the BUILD PLASTIC PLANE The San Bernardino factory is being built in the newly-established industrial zone adjoining the county airport, on East Third street midway between San Bernardino and Redlands.

Its cost, unequipped, will be about $75,000, and it will provide approximately 28,000 square feet of plant space. It will be one of the first aircraft factories to be completely air-conditioned. The, Morrow trainer embodies many unusual construction features, made possible through research by Morrow engineers in the use of new plywood and plastic bonding agents. The "Victory Trainer," as the plane will be called, will have a wing span of 31 feet, and will be powered by a new type six-cylinder "pancake" engine rated at 135 horsepower. The ship win have a top (Continued on Page 19, Column 5) child's health and emotional growth ar vastly important as an integral part of society, and so the new cards carry such remarks as: "Is learning to appreciate beauty," "Enjoys listening to stories, poems and music," "Takes part in songs," "Takes part in dramatic play," and lists other similar aplitudes.

VARIED BY GRADES OneAype of card is used for each of the following grades: Kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade and for grades from four to eight. The card for each grade serves to inform the parent just what is expected on that particular grade level, in terms of major learnings. The primary cards and cards for first, second and third grades employ two gradations for checking the various subjects of study: "Does his best," and "Could do better." The cards used for fourth to eighth grades have three gradations for checking: "Satisfactory growth," "Is improving," and "Needs Improvement." On the back of the card space is provided for the parents to comment on the child's progress in school. USED ON TRIAL BASIS By the use of the grade reporting system continuity is achieved and thus parents are not confused by an entirely new card each year. The committee made a careful study of present practices and trends In report cards.

Sample cards from more than 200 representative school systems were examined. After preliminary work the new type cards were used in 13 school SUNDAY Rotarians and their Rotary Anns of San Bernardino will gather In the Woman's clubhouse at High land at 7 o'clock Tuesday night for dinner and a program of entertainment, replacing the regular noonday luncheon. The program, In charge of O. G. Redman's committee, will feature talent obtained in Hollywood by Joe Diskey.

A club skit arranged by James Paige also will be presented at that time. President Frank H.

Binney will preside. districts ranging from a one-room school to a city system. At the beginning of the current school year the committee revised the cards to meet suggestions. The San Bernardino city school system, Redlands school system and Fon-tana schools adopted them for immediate use. All rural elementary schools are now using the cards.

Culbert L. Olson yesterday asked Secretary of War Henry Stimson to call the 40th division of the California National guard, which includes San Bernardino's company into service at once. Governor Olson asked that the division be quartered at state and county fair grounds until the camp at San Luis Obispo is ready.

Calling attention to the fact the division was to have gone into serv ice in January and its induction in to the nation's defense army has been postponed to March, Governor Olson said there was possibility of even further delay, and that this would work great hardship on the guardsmen. WOUND UP AFFAIRS He said in anticipation of the January induction the division mem bers quit their Jobs, sold or leased their businesses, or closed or leased their offices if they were profession al men. "There is apprehension and prob ability that if induction is delayed until facilities are ready at San Luis Obispo, the delay will extend beyond March and possibly April," the governor said. Governor Olson sent a telegram to the secretary of war asking imme diate reply to his request for immediate Induction and stationing of the approximately 24,000 men and officers at Sacramento state fair grounds, Pomona fair grounds, the Ventura campsite and other sites until the division camp, delayed in construction because of weather conditions, is ready. DATE NOW MAR.

3 The Induction was first to have taken place in November, then was delayed to Jan. 27, again postponed to Feb. 10 and now the latest order calls the men into service March 3. When the last postponement was made, Robert Patterson, assistant secretary of war, said that the "federal government is determined not to send national guardsmen to camp until it can safeguard their health and well-being."

II MN Sit PATROL GET OUR DEAL on a Brand CITY 12.00QMEH TD 8E STATIONED AT CAMP MAN Hammers Ring as Work Speeded On Vast Cantonment Near March Field Air Base By HOWARD C. HEYN A military payroll exceed ing $230,000 monthly and other extensive maintenance expenditures for Camp Haan, new anti-aircraft training center adjacent to March field, will directly benefit San Bernardino and the surrounding area. This was officially assured yester day by Edgar B. Colla- day, commander of the vast cantonment which is being populated with national guardsmen and train ees as rapidly as accommodatlona are made ready.

Housing of officer personnel and furnishing of supplies for the camp were cited by General Colladay as economic advantages San Bernar dino will share, in addition to tha military payroll and another payroll, as yet unestlmated, for a larga number of civil service employes to be stationed at Camp Haan when the training center is completed. PROGRAM RUSHED General Colladay was interviewed by The Sun at his temporary headquarters, around which hundreds of hammers ring incessantly and army trucks groan through the mud as the construction program goes forward with all possible speed. Already quartered at Camp Haan are 3,700 national guardsmen from a score of communities in Minnesota, and a coast artillery unit from Fort Winfield Scott in northern California. Ultimately, 12,000 men will be stationed there, virtually all of them national guardsmen or draftees. The full complement will consist of artillery units, to be trained in anti-aircraft defense.

On the Mojave desert 45 miles northeast of Barstow a firing range will be established for the artillerymen, contingents of whom will transported monthly through San Bernardino to the firing point from. Camp Haan, without creating any traffic problem, the general said. MILLIONS INVESTED Considerable benefit already has been derived by San Bernardino and other nearby communities from this army program, according to General Colladay. "In the first place, construction of Camp Haan represents an investment of several million dollars. Some of this money has been spent locally for supplies, some of it has purchased supplies in other sections of the nation, and a lot of it has (Continued on Page 19, Column 8)' New 19 hi LINCOLN or MERCURY You'll Get the Biggest SURPRISE OF YOUR LIFE!
