Mr, Knox Is desirous of having these super-dock built here as part of the total defense program. These docks would enable the Brooklyn Navy Yard to construct super-battleships of at least 45,000 tons. The city will give the fullest co-operation to the Secretary of the Navy In obtaining the additional land needed to make possible the proposed expansion of navy yard facilities. The super-docks would be constructed on the present site of the Wallabout Market, should the Mayor succeed In working out a transfer from city to Federal ownership of the area of three square blocks extending from the Navy Yard to the Naval Hospital and from Flushing avenue to the Canal. If the docks are constructed, it would double the Navy Yard's capacity and will double the maximum number of employees at the Navy Yard and that Increase will be permanent.

At last, after many days came the happy, if unexpected dlacovery of his stolen car, in the hands of Mr. X. This fact soon became known to the police, and the Chief called on Sandy, and inquired of him: "If you have spotted the Continued on Pagt Fiv Committee places the Republican party la the camp of the Isolationists and ap-peasers.

I The head of this group In the Senate Is Senator Wheeler, of Montana, and In i tils press conference yesterday, President Roosevelt told the newspapermen that at dinner In the home.oJ Mr. Tugwell In 1934, Senator Wheeler had declared that Germany would dominate Europe; Japan would dominate Asia and this country would dominate the Western Hemisphere, Including: Canada. The President said this Information had come to him from William E. Dodd, then our Ambassador to Germany. Mr.

Dodd had made a note of this as a guest He told of the heroic deed of th "Free French" troops lighting In Libya and Ethiopia and exhorted: "Generals, officer, men of French Africa! My comrade In arm! Let ua atand together. Are you going: to remain inactive with arme at your ide, humiliated, broken In plrlt, when the fata of Ftance and her empire being- decided within rang of your guns? Are you not going to break, a we have done, for France's service and the honor of our arms, the shameful watchword of inertia?" Today is an Important occasion for Brooklyn, for with the opening of the Central Library there will be culminated a long and arduous campaign that has lasted some forty years. It was at the turn of the century that the huge library at the intersection of Eastern parkway and Flatbush avenue was first actively contemplated. Today, still somewhat in mm qualified as physical therapeutist, as otherwise the doors would be opened wide to medical anarchy ADVISES with resultant Incalculable injury 2eC to Innocent sufferers." This eloquent appeal should not go unheeded by General Weygand, who has It In hi power to eliminate Italy out of the war.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Physical Therapy complete, the library Is being opened to the public. The new library to all appearances seems to be a structure of great utilitarian value and architectural beauty, although any new library would be of far greater use than the musty and outdated building on Montague street. The new library has much more than Its newness and Its more central location to recom-ment it. In It there Is room for tens of thousands of books and for all the Brooklyn Public Library's administrative func was going oversea exclusively for his own Information.

Answer Tou aay you exclude social and economic conditions. I would also like to exclude one other at the dinner and recorded It In his diary, recently published, without naming Senator Wheeler, but merely said that a Senator had made this statement. In private conversation with the President, however, he revealed that Senator Wheeler was the man he had In mind.

Hitler's threats of what he will do to England this Spring has caused more Jitters In this country, particularly In Wall Street, than in England itself. The' British are eager for the Invasion as they are supremely confident that It will be defeated. Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox informed the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee yesterday that information received from Germany by the government indicated that Hitler is deferring the invasion until an improved form of bomber capable of rising 40,000 feet in the air has mass production. That Hitler will use gas Is the general belief in that it la rather strange that when I bear people talking about their their complaints and what has been done for same, the State Department did everything it could to help hlra along and he had F.

The fact that a salesman Is being held leads ua to that conclusion. The reason was to And for the salesman a list of proapects, and In that sense the records could be described as a sort of "sucker list" Public agencies In the past have been far too free la selling or giving away lists of prospective cllenta to emterprla-Ing salesmen or merchants.

It does not require the agency'a complicity, as a single employee can achieve all the harm. The list of taxpayers, automobile owner, heir and landholders, as well aa of births, marriages and deaths, should be no more available to aalesmen or merchants than they are to anyone else, yet such records could be described only as semi-public. In th case of the theft of the record of public employees In Washington, It would seem that the "borrowers" stepped beyond their depth. We realize it is Immoral to punish anyone for anything more than his crime; caaVt give an unduly harah sentence for a crime in order to provide a lesson for others. However, the person who are guilty of the theft of records in Washington may have made those records available to those who shouldn't hav seen them; at least they made it more likely that the records would come under improper serve the greater good if they em More important than climate 1 a good Board of Health to se that phasize that physical therapeutists dynes and pain- must first be qualified physicians kllllnr remedies which upset hi and surgeons of considerable ex stomach but will never have thought you have clean water and food supply, mosquito control, etc.

It is in all an impressive structure.

The fact that the still somewhat unfinished building is being opened to the public is due to the insistence of Borough President Cashmore, who thought that procrastination had been carried to the extreme. His attitude was so revolutionary in contrast with the earlier history of the library, that the surprised library board found itself readily acquiescing. The library, however, Is named the Inger-soll Memorial, which in a sense Is a proper enough tribute to the borough head under whose administration the library was brought from the status of abandoned shell to virtual completion. We believe, however, although we should not undervalue what Mr. Ingersoll accomplished, that the library is misnamed.

"The House expects to have its recommendation favoring the lease-lend bill debated next week and the bill will pass by Friday. The Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Is going over practically the same testimony as that received by the House Foreign Affairs Committee and it is exT pected also to make a favorable report.

The fantastic story of the "Detroit Free Press" that England is to receive twenty more destroyers in exchange for the battleship George has been denied by the President, the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of the Naval Staff. It is about time that the American newspapers stopped printing such sensational stories without a scintilla of evidence to support them. Senators Wheeler and Nye, because of their opposition to the bill, are featured In the German and Italian press as patriotic Americans. Ninety per cent of the American people think differently. They regard these Senators as unpatriotic Americans.

The declaration of Mr. Martin that the Republican party as a party will vote against the bill Is the result of Mr. Winkle's patriotic stand in favor of It.
