Nimitz, commander in chief of the Pacific fleet, predicted today that the fleet will play an essential role in maintaining peace and keeping the nation free and strong. That role will be as important as the Navy's wartime role, he "We of the Navy are conscious of our debt to our fellow Americans here at home and grateful for our backing," Nimitz said in a Navy Day statement. "Staggering as were the Navy's needs in the prosecution of the war, we were denied nothing. We never doubted our ability to reach our objectives, thanks to your magnificent support." yx in 70 to 70 to SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26 VP).

Rpvin assailed the Tinliries of "strategy arid spheres of influence'' which he said were hindering plans to bring help to Europeans. He directly or by implication criticized Soviet actions in Europe as hampering relief in western Europe, and assailed the "awful blackout over Europe." Bevin spoke in in the course of a debate in which Laborite Ernest Bevin member Michael Foot called the Potsdam policy of transplanting Germans unworkable and Liberal member T. L.

Horabin asserted that the United States and Russia were following a "lunatic" policy in completely wrecking German economy. Brings Up UNRRA. Bevin pointed out that the United States Congress had before it proposals for $1,800,000,000 grants for UXRRA and said if they were not voted, "UNRRA will be broken and the situation in a few weeks' time will be disastrous." Britain has agreed to pay an equivalent amount, approximately of her national income, although the nation's financial position is "difficult," he said. Bevin called upon the Allies, "whatever we have to settle in regard to future relationships," to join "to stop the ordinary man and woman, who were not parties to the quarrel, from suffering or starving." He said he believed that Europe's inland waterways, potential highways for the movement of relief supplies and ordinary commerce, could be cleared "without endangering Russia one iota" if the factors of "strategy and spheres of influence" could be dropped from the picture. It has been impossible to get Allied control councils in the Danube River basin to work out the possible flood surpluses there, he said.

He added that he could not understand why Yugoslavia maintained an army of 400,000 to 600,000 men instead of sending them back to land.

This order he would achieve through a world government estab lished by the united btates, threat Britain and Russia. To this gov ernment, all three nations would turn over their full military strength. He admitted that he feared tyranny from a world government, but said he preferred it to a third World War. Since the United States and Great Britain have the secret of the atom bomb and the Soviet Union does not," he said, "they should invite the Soviet Union to prepare and present the first draft of a constitution for the proposed world government." That, however, is the only concession Einstein would make to Russia. He was adamantly opposed to giving 'the Russians the secret of the bomb at present, com paring such a move to the action of a man with capital who starts eut by giving his prospective partner half of his money at the risk making a rival.

The Evening Star said today that the designation of "a recently naturalized alien" to be a military aid to President Truman has occasioned "considerable discussion" in military circles.

She began dallying on the side with a handsome Belgian lad who turned out to be a member of the underground. Her Gestapo "protector" was furious when he found it out and came very close to ordering her shot. The incident closely paralleled the experience of the original Mata Hari. The Dutch dancing girl who worked for the Germans in World War I was said to have saved her life on one occasion by shedding her clothes just as a firing squa 1 was about to execute her. Htlene didn't have to go quite that far.

Her charms were obvious and the Gestapo decided against eliminating so valuable an asset.

Her story for the moment is that she worked for the Gestapo only to help the Allies.

Nevertheless, she is being held for a trial that will decide whether Helene, like the first Mata Hari, will end her career before a firing squad.

That was the program for which New Yorkers were preparing yesterday. Hundreds of thousands of men, women and children, afoot and aboard all manner of conveyance, thronged to the river front for a preview as the fleet trundled into line.

No visitors were al lowed aboard the Missouri, where all was prepared for receiving the President today. But not all the vast throng went home after visiting hours closed or even after dark. Last night, as they had on Jrriday night, the searchlights of the fighting ships flashed on at 8 P. and for half an hour criss-crossed the skies with a fascinating display.
