Decisions On Profits Are
Considered Vital
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22—</P)—
'The government asked the su-
preme court today to review two
decisions involving alleged excess
; profits on World war ship building
as a matter of "immediate na-
tional concern.”
The cases, involving the Beth-
lehem Ship Building corporation,
were filed in 1925 and 1926. In
one the company sued the govern-
ment for $7,500,000 profits not paid
to it, while in the other the gov-
ernment sued the corporation for
lecovery of allegedly excessive
profits already paid. About $13,-
365,000 is involved in the suits.
The government lost both In dis-
trict court and is appealing from
a decision of the third circuit
court of appeals which upheld the
lower court.
“No Time For Haggling"
Solicitor General Francis Bid-
dle, in a petition filed with the
supreme court, contended that the
government had no choice but to
deal with Bethlehem at Its terms

A nominal charge is made for

a few bushels of seed, plant it in
a separate tract and then use that
wheat for seed next year.
Wrulri Combat Loss
The machine, operated by ex-
perts from the experiment station,
will be taken to all state communi-
ties during August and September.
Conservative estimates place the
smut loss In the 1940 Oklahoma

General George C. Marshall, army

of material” to train all the men
who would be drafted for military

Walter P. Marsh, principal of El
Reno highschool, today outlined
the industrial arts program that
will be greatly expanded this year
and housed ln the old Lincoln
elementary school.
Carpentry, welding, metal work,
forge and foundry, automobile me-
chanics and aviation mechanics
will be included in the enlarged
vocational program.
"For a number of years," Mr.
Marsh explained, “we have been
conscious of the need of broad-
ening the curriculum in El Reno
highschool to include more train-
ing in the skills.
"During the past two years we
have introduced vocational agri-
culture, vocational home economics
and trade and industrial training.
Training Held Essential
"We have been proud of the
progress of these new departments,
which have been successful in
meeting demands of our social or-
der for greater emphasis upon
vocational training as one of the
major objectives of public edu-
cation."
Within the past few months,
the principal added, it has become
even more important that every
American youth should learn to
use his hands, if not as a means
of livelihood then as an avoca-
tion during normal times and as
a means of helping his country ln
time of emergency.
Adequate Space Provided
The expanded vocational train-
ing program will be housed this
year in the old Lincoln school in
order to obtain adequate rpace.
Students who enrol ln the in-
dustrial arts department will spend
a half-day at the Lincoln school
studying those classes and a half-
day at thc highschool in other
classes.
Boys who are interested in the
vocational training classes should
obtain lurther information about
the program ai lhe principal's ol-
fice before school starts on Sepl.

William Bullitt, United States am-
bassador to France, is urging the
sale of 50 over-age destroyers to
Britain. The ambassador, who re-
cently returned from France, said
the United States is the next target
of the Nazis. In warning tne state
department that "war is coming
to the Americas," Bullitt declared
the United States “is in as great
peril today as was France a year
ago ” He contended that "while it
is clear the United States will not
go to war, it is equally clear that
war is coming toward the Americas,*
and lie added that if the British
navy is destroyed the Atlantic would
give tlie United States no more pro-
tection than the Maglnot line gave
France after German troops march-
ed through Belgium.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Powerful German shore batteries
on the French coast, firing from
a range of more than 20 miles,
shelled a mile-long British convoy
in the straits of Dover today—in-
jecting new sting in the Nazi-pro-
claimed air and sea blockade of
Britain.
Small merchant ships in the con-
voy escorted by warships were
hugging the English cliffs when a
battery of four guns on the distant
shore near Boulogne suddenly
opened fire.
Other batteries of "Big Berthas”
posted along the French coast all
the way from Boulogne to Calais
took up the bombardment as the
convoy steamed doggedly toward
its destination.
Shells Burst Near Vessels
At least 100 shells were fired,
observers estimated. The attack
last 80 minutes.
Shells burst near the vessels with
the Nazi gunners apparently get-
ting their range directions from a
high flying observation plane, but
most of the missiles fell into the
sea.
British warships laid down a
smoke screen to aid the escape
and the convoy passed through
the strait without an apparent
casualty.
Long-range German guns pre-
viously have shelled English coast
I towns but today's episode was be-
J lieved to be the first time they
have directed their fire against
shipping.
Air Siege Continues
j Nazi warplanes continued the
air siege of England in scattered
small scale attacks while, in south-
east Europe, Mussolini's high com-
mand reported sharp new blows
against British naval forces in
the Mediterranean—two warships
torpedoed, two others "hit re-
peatedly” by bombs.
