THE BEE, DANVILLE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1937 GALE MAKES FR'S PLANS INDEFINITE President Breakfasts on Trout, Studies Weather Before Deciding on Trip BY D. HAROLD OLIVER LAKE CRESCENT, Oct, (P) President Roosevelt and his party breakfasted on 200 brook trout from Olympic peninsula streams today while the chief executive cast weather eye at the sky before deciding whether to continue his scheduled trip around the nation's westernmost tip. With a gale ripping along the Oregon and Washington coast and with rain lashing picturesque Lake Cresent tavern, the president considered returning to Port Angeles and reboarding the destroyer Phelps, on which he returned from Victoria, B. yesterday. Should he take the Phelps, he would proceed down Puget Sound to Tacoma instead of making the Olympic peninsula loop by motorcar.

His son, James Roosevelt, said last night the president would make the loop trip unless was a "terrifically bad" day and forest service officials with the party decided the highway was "actually dangerous." The peninsula drive would take the president to Lake Quinault, 43 miles north of Hoquiam, where the main item on the Quinault hotel menu boiled salmon. Thus the president may observe Friday, traditionally "fish day," with breakfast trout and luncheon salmon. The trout were taken from nearby streams by peninsula residents. Sereral school children used the president's visit as an excuse to stay away from school and fish, And many of those streams have their source territory would be included in the proposed Olympic which, National Park. The president yesterday pledged his help in obtaining the park.

The president's peninsula route today would Id take him around the borders of much of the proposed park territory. Should the peninsula trip be abandoned, the Phelps would take him past Bremerton and the Puget sound navy yard. Roosevelt called himself a "Canadian of 53 years standing." while speaking in an informal address at Government House before Canadian officials in Victoria, B. on his goodwill visit yesterday. He said he first went to Canada the age of three and one-half Fears account of my teething period." Since then, he told the group, he had visited Canada almost annually, principally at Campobello, N.

B. He toasted the king at the end of his address, after relating his last toast to the king, made at Port of Spain, Trinidad. last December. "It was the day and almost the hour of the abdication of King Edward and I never WAS sure whether I toasted King Edward or the new king, George VI." Provincial police estimated 20,000 of Victoria's 70,000 population stood with heads bared yesterday as 1 the president rode past. Mrs.

Roosevelt left her husband at Victoria, returning on the destroyer Porter to Seattle. She transferred to 8 tugboat, which brought her ashore at Seattle, A police car whisked her to airport, where she caught 1 plane for New York city to keep an engagement. Early Entries Advised for Danville Fair It has been the experience of the management of the Danville Fair Association that trouble and confusion grows out of the fact. that a large percentage of exhibitors put off making their entries until the day before the Fair, This brings about endless confusion and delay both to the exhibitors and the Fair management. It is a matter of great importance that exhibitors send in their entry sheets several days before the Fair where it is possible.

The entry sheets will be checked over at the down U.S. And Japan At Odds Over Liability In China WASHINGTON, Oct. relations entered a new and unpredictable phase today as the two governments were at odds over whether Japan can be held responsible for injury to. Americans or their property in China. To the United States' emphatic notice that Japan is accountable, the Japanese government has replied with a firm refusal to accept liability.

A diplomatic impasse has resulted, although for the moment the issue is primarily academic. Some observers expressed the belief it will remain 80 unless a particularly flagrant case of damage to American interests arises in the undeclared Sino-Japanese war. Secretary Hull sought more than a month ago to safeguard American rights in the far eastern conflict under accepted standards of international law. These are based on the principle that bellegerents are liable to claims for damages inflicted on neutrals during hostilities. (In Spain, the Madrid regime long ago proclaimed its intention of making restitution for American property seized or damaged by its forces in the strife there.) Hull sent identical notes to Japan East Winds Keep Storms Out of U.

S. Hurricanes Sweeping Up From Tropics So Far This Fall Have Been Turned to Sea WASHINGTON, Oct. winds over the United States have been "running interference" during the last month to protect the United States from Under ordinary conditions. Forecaster Charles L. said today, the United States can expect from five to seven hurricanes between early September and November.

However, he added, weather conditions during September have been more like October- footballweather. Prevailing winds have acted in true football fashion to prevent the loss of life and property damage which ordinarily results from a hurricane sweeping up from the tropics. Three hurricanes already have been charted by weather bureau meteorologists, but all have been swept eastward from the United States. One touched the coast of Nova Scotia, another damaged two navy destroyers on patrol off the northeastern coast, and the third forced the Endeavour I to resort to her sails when her steel twoline snapped shortly after leaving the United States. She rode out the storm, however.

The course of hurricanes which still may develop during the present season can not be predicted, but weather bureau officials expressed the hope September weather conditions would continue and result in a hurricanefree year for the United States. Such an outcome would interfere with research studies planned on hurricanes for 1937, but the officials admitted, they wouldn't object. U. S. BOAT IMPRISONED HONGKONG.

PHONE 580-581 SEVEN RUSH BOMBPROOF FORTRESSES Speed Work on Chain of Shelters to Protect Civilians From Soviet Raids TOKYO, Oct. detense experts today rushed to completion a chain of bombproof, subterranean "fortresses" to safeguard the civilian population against the threat of attack from Soviet war planes. Stimulated by reports that Russia secretly was sending planes and aviators to aid China in the undeclared war with Japan, thousands of civilians in Japan's teeming cities familiarized themselves with the new type of shelters, believed to be the last word in protective science.

Scarcely five hours from the nerve centers of the empire, from its great cities, Japanese observers point out, are the Siberian airbases of 8 "certain foreign power." This three-word phrase. stripped of its diplomatic caution, frankly means Soviet Russia. The model shelter was designed by the engineers of the Tokyo metropolitan police board to accommodate 800 persons for at least three hours, and, if necessary, much longer. Thousands of the bombproofs are planned for every major city in the country. The shelter room can be an independent unit or installed in the basements of big buildings.

Theoretically at least, it is fireproof, bombproof and gasproof. The double walls of reinforced concrete are each 16 inches thick. The first entrance is through massive steel door, edged with rubber, and so constructed that it will not open until second, inner door, 18 closed. Beyond these a 100-foot ramp -stairways are considered too dangerous--leads directly to the shelter. At the foot of the ramp are outer rooms to be used by doctors and nurses in segregating the refugees.

Uninjured persons go immediately into the inner chamber while the wounded are cared for in a miniature, 82-bed hospital. Ventilation is supplied by electric pumps, with an auxiliary set of hand pumps for use in case the electricity "fortressed, out stocked of with commission. food, cloth- The water and medical supplies, The whole shelter is designed to cover an area of approximately 5.000 square feet and engineers said its cost had been reduced to about $300. To encourage widespread installation, re, movable sections have been provided 80 that the shelters can be used for commercial purposes in normal times. NEWPORT NEWS FIRM TO BUILD BIG LINER Steamer Described as Finest And Safest on Seas to Cost $15,750,000 WASHINGTON, Oct.

of America's merchant marine was under way today following acceptance of a bid to construct a new liner to replace the Leviathan in the north Atlantic service. The on an adjusted price basis- WAS submitted by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Corporation and accepted last night by the maritime commission. The commission granted the operating company a differential construction subsidy of 33 1-3 per cent of the cost of the vessel, This subsidy will take care of the difference in labor and other construction costs as related to the traditionally lower scale in foreign shipyards. Chairman Joseph 1 P. Kennedy said the company had asked for A higher subsidy, but later notified the commission its figure of 33 1-3 per cent WAS acceptable, Attorneys for the shipbullding concern had asked for a higher subsidy, but later notified the cimmission its figure of 33 1-3 per cent was acceptable, Attorneys for the shipbuilding concern and the operating company- -the United States Lines--were invited here today to draft a formal building contract.

In size, the new liner will fall below the figures for England's Queen Mary or France's Normandie but, said Kennedy, "we will have the' finest and safest liner on the seas." The liner will be slightly larger than its companion ships of the United States Lines- the Manhattan and Washington. She will have A loaddraft displacement of about 34.000 tons, will be 723 feet long and 92 feet board. There will be accommodations for 1,200 passengers and a crew of 630. Her speed will be approximately 22 knots. The company's agreement to build the vessel fulfills its understanding with the government whereby federal officials approved to retirement of the Leviathan.

The Leviathan, formerly Germany's Vaterland, was seized by the United States during the World war, used as transport and, after reconditioning. put into service AS a passenger liner. It has been laid up at Hoboken, N. since 1935. DEATH TAKES A NAP 'SEATTLE.

There has been no announcement here concerning what, if any, reply China made. Japan responded on August 31, contending it could not be held responsible for such damage on the ground that China was to blame for the hostilities. This prompted Hull to send a note to Tokyo reiterating American reservations.

He referred specifically to Americans in the Nanking area, in still another communication dispatched to Tokyo primarily AS a protest against Japanese aerial bombing of Chinese non-combatants. these, Japan replied bluntly on Wednesday that it continued to adhere to its original position.
