Masons to Conduct
Services Tomorrow
For Dr. Wood
Dentist Had Maintained
Office in Loew Building
More Than 20 Years
Funeral services for Dr. Homer E.
Wood, 65, the polite but reserved
dentist, who died Monday at his
office-home in the Loew Building,
will be conducted by Masons to
morrow at 11 a.m. at Lee’s funeral
home, Fourth street and Massa
chusetts avenue NE.
Familiar to many but well known
to no one in the Loew Building, Dr.
Wood had maintained offices there
for more than 20 years.
When he was found dead the oth
er day slumped in a corner of his
small fourth floor suite that served
both as dental office and home,
considerable conjecture arose among
the people in the building who had
known him. None among them, it
seems, knew anything about his
family or background. When the
tfme came to remove his body, the
police, at a loss, took it to the
Morgue. There it was found he had
died of heart disease.
The shroud of mystery surround
ing the doctor was removed soon
afterward, however, with the ap
pearance at the Morgue of Mrs.
Loring C. Wood, his sister-in-law.
Her husband is seriously ill in
Naval Hospital, and neither he nor
Mrs. Wood had received immediate
word of the doctor’s death.
It was learned that Dr. Wood, a
native of Pidgeon Hill, Quebec,
Canada, had come to Washington
from Burlington, Vt., and had been
graduated from George Washing
ton University Medical School in
1911 with a D. D. S. degree. Always
a quiet man, Dr. Wood had become
even more retiring after his wife
died some 10 years ago.
Dr. Wood, she ~aid, was a life
member of Burlington Lodge, No.
100, of Masons. His brother is his
only immediate survivor.
London
(Continued From First Page )
engaged in fortifying their positions
in the line.”
"We have created our base and
lines of communication organiza
tion so as to assure a regular flow
of supplies and ammunition of every
kind and to receive further contin
gents as, if and when we may de
cide to send them ” Hore-Belisha
said.
The transport of the expeditionary
force compared favorably, he assert
ed, with Britain's 1914 war effort,
explaining that in the first six weeks
of the World War only 148,000 Brit
ish troops were sent to France.
Eastern Garrison Strengthened.
In addition to sending troops to
France, the war minister said Brit
ish garrisons in the Middle East
ouungij xcuuuiteu as
well as garrisons elsewhere "both in
material and men.”
"I am able to inform the House
that we have fulfilled and more than
fulfilled our undertaking recently'
given to France to dispatch to that
country in the event of war a Brit
ish expeditionary force of specified
dimensions within a specified time,”
he said.
“Nor are the contingents at pres
ent across the Channel the last that
will arrive,” he added. “The expe
ditionary force has been transported
to France without a casualty to any
of its personnel.”
While the war secretary gave his
report on the nation's military activ
ity, the House awaited the govern
ment's reply to peace proposals made
by Adolf Hitler last Friday. Prime
Minister Chamberlain was expected
to state Britain's position tomorrow
in his weekly war report to Com
mons.
“Defeatist” Literature Traced.
Britain, meanwhile, tried to track
down sources of “defeatist propa
ganda” on the home front amid in
dicatlons of mounting sentiment
against talk of "appeasement.”
While press comment indicated a
growing desire to "get on with the
war,” Scotland Yard submitted to
the home office a report on “Make
Peace With Hitler” pamphlets at
tributed to pacifist, Fascist and
Communist elements.
Home office legal experts, who
have received complaints that such
literature has been distributed from
door to door and through the mails,
studied means of combating this
form of propaganda.
Public opinion in general was rep
resented as insistent on flat re
jection of proposals from Adolf Hit
ler for what the British regarded
as peace at his own price—the par
tition of Poland.
Typical of the reaction of the
London man in the street was the
assertion that “If we don’t do the
job now we ll have a worse time
six months from now.”
Daladler Speech Approved.
The press gave almost unanimous
approval to Premier Daladier’s radio
speech last night, in which he
declared that France would fight on
until “guarantees of security" for
“lasting peace” in Eurof>e were as
sured.
Prime Minister Chamberlain's
scheduled speech in Parliament to
morrow replying to Hitler’s end
the-war gestures was expected to
follow the general lines of M. Da
ladier’s declaration.
Diplomatic circles attached sig
nificance to the fact that Mr. Cham
berlain had scheduled a meeting
with August Zaleski, Poland's new
foreign minister, on the eve of his
appearance in the House of Com
mons. Lord Halifax, British foreign
secretary, will join the conference.
The London Times, commenting
on Zaleski's visit to London, said:
“Whatever else may be said or
.k^..i 41__il4i_4...
MWMV VtlV WtlUlklVilO
peace which would be acceptable to
Great Britain and Prance, restora
tion of an independent Poland is,
of course, an Indispensable postu
late. .
Unconcerned Over Peace Text.
Government quarters showed no
concern over reports that World
War Prime Minister Lloyd George
was preparing to test out British
peace sentiment through his Coun
cil for Peace and Reconstruction.
Cabinet members were said to be
ready to deliver “pep talks” in all
important centers in the event any
strongly organized campaign to em
barrass the government s war efforts
should develop.
The laborite Daily Herald s polit
ical correspondent declared that
Lloyd George’s “stock has gone down
with a hearty bump” as a result of
his recent speeches and articles,
which many interpreted as smacking
of appeasement.
Guarded Comment on Baltic.
Government sources and the press
made only guarded comment on de
velopments in the Baltic, marked
by reports the Russians had massed
troops along the Finnish frontier
and concentrated naval strength at
Kronstadt, on the Gulf of Finland.
There was some speculation on
the effect Russian gains in the Bal
tlce might have upon Germany.
Some observers expressed belief that
possible German aspirations for ex
pansion in Eastern Europe had been
definitely thwarted.
Eleven American newspapermen
wearing khald uniforms were en
route today to the western front, the
first reporters assigned to British
troops in France.
Members of Parliament, seeking
an admiralty statement on whether
German submarines were operating
near American shores, failed to get
an answer.
Geoffrey Shakespeare, parliamen
tary undersecretary to the admiralty,
said he would have to have advance
notice before answering such a
question.
U. S. Asked to Give D. C.
Public Aid Specialist
A request that the Federal Social
Security Board increase its service
to the District government to in
clude a specialist to aid in the
training of the staff of the Public
Assistance Division was made today
at a conference at the District
Building.
G. R. Parker, a regional field
representative of the Federal agency,
conferred with Commissioner Mel
vin C. Hazen and Robert E. Bondy,
welfare director. Mr. Bondy said
afterward he had some hope the
Federal agency would be able to
lend some assistance in increasing
the knowledge and efficiency of the
District staff of case workers.

of the very finest cars Cadillac has ever

9 You’ll see four Cadillac-Fleetwoods—in
cluding the Sixty Special and a completely
new, lower-priced Fleetwood—which repre
sent the highest point yet reached in luxury,
comfort, safety, and performance. <1 You’ll
see, in short, the leader in every price-group

new cars give Cadillac complete dominance
of the quality field. 9 This brief picture of the
1940 Cadillacs and LaSalles merely suggests
the tremendous progress these cars repre
sent. It leaves out entirely any discussion
of the new ride, the new ease of control, and
of the mighty new Cadillac V-8 engines
which power them all. It does so deliberately,
because only a look and a ride can demon
strate the greatness of these cars. 9 Why
not make a personal investigation—today?
