Storm WasWorse T han Rumors,
D. C. Passenaers on Iroauois Sav
Several of the 11 Washingtonians
aboard the refugee ship doomed by
rumor to a watery grave—the S. S.
Iroquois—were safe in their homes
here today with stories more con
cerned with the trials of a voyage
in storm-churned waters than with
rumors of the disastrous, fate that
was to be theirs.
Daniel J. Broderick, a Census Bu
reau employe, who returned with
his native Irish accent whetted by
a month’s stay in the homeland,
summed up the general tenor of
the comments on the voyage by
saying:
“After we got through four days
of the roughest water I’ve ever seen
in that little can of grapefruit (his
term for the small Iroquois), our
worries were over. A trifling thing
like rumors of a submarine didn’t
seem to bother us much. What's
more, I don't think many of us
believed them in the first place.”
The little coastwise steamer,
pressed into emergency service to
transport American refugees from
war-torn Europe, moved serenely
into New York Harbor at dusk yes
terday with her overload of pas
sengers singing and shouting with
delight.
“Miss Liberty had her night shirt
on,” Mr. Broderick said, "but she
looked plenty good to us.”
Knew Something Was Amiss.
Mr. Broderick, whose home is at
1513 V street S.E., said most of the
passengers were aware that “some
thing was amiss” when the ship’s
officers began searching heavy lug
gage in the hold last Friday. That
was the day after the Federal Gov
eminent, hflri hppn infnrmpH hv t.hp
German admiralty that the Iro
quois was to be sunk, presumably
by either the British or the French,
to draw this country Into war.
“We had been told that the
Athenla had been sunk by an in
fernal machine within her hold
rather than a torpedo,” Mr. Brod
erick stated, "and we understood
that was to be our fate. It seemed
too far-fetched to worry us much
though.”
Overjoyed to See Cutter.
Mr. Broderick admitted, however,
that the passengers were overjoyed
to see the United States Coast
Guard cutter Campbell appear on
the horizon Sunday.
This admission found a second in
Frank J. Clark, a stationary engi
neer, of 427 Sixteenth street 6.E.,
who commented, also in a native
Irish accent:
“It was certainly nice of them to
send a convoy to meet us. We felt
much better.”
He, too, stated that the joy over
seeing the official convoy was sec
ond to that felt when the Iroquois
hit smooth water after weathering
the storm.
Mr. Broderick said that scores of
the passengers received “black eyes,
broken noses, bruised arms and legs”
while the mountainous waves of the
storm tossed the little vessel about
like so much matchwood.
Found Food in Lap.
“WTiy, it was nothing to suddenly
find a steak or a piece of liver in
your lap while attempting to eat a
bite in the dining room,” he com
mented. Mr. Broderick admittedly
was one of the comparatively few
wno attempted this procedure, how
ever. The ship’s doctor treated sev
eral hundred for seasickness during
the storm portion of the voyage.
Asked how he apparently escaped
the bruises suffered by many of the
4
m m
passengers, Mr. Broderick motioned
to his hip and admitted:
“I got a nice one here. But most
of the time I held onto everything
in sight.”.
Both Mr. Broderick and Mr. Clark
had visited relatives in Ireland.
Had Cot in Pantry.
Another factor in the voyage
which seemed to trouble Mr. Brod
erick was the fact that he had signed
up for cabin transportation and
landed in "an abandoned pantry
with nothing in it but a cot.”
He displayed a signed statement
by two of his fellow passengers re
lating in detail his discomforture.
Peter Henderson, a gymnastics in
structor at the House of Representa
tives gymnasium, and Mrs. Hender
son made a photographic record of
their voyage. They had gone abroad
to visit his parents in Sweden short
ly before the war broke out.
The Hendersons arrived in Wash
ington early this morning but did
not go to their apartment at 412
First street SB. until later in the
day.
Expected to return to Washington
this afternoon was Harrison H. D.
Walker of 2016 R street N.W., a
member of the staff of the National
Geographic Magazine.
Mr. Walker, who had been in Ire
land for two months gathering ma
terial for a story, agreed that the
submarine scare came as a sort of
anti-climax in a statement for the
Associated Press in New York last
night.
Among the other Washingtonians
on the ship were Mr. and Mrs. Mar
tin J. Walsh, 2311 Connecticut ave
nue N.W.; Thomas Flood, 3217
Seventh street N.E., and Michael S.
Browne, 1004 Massachusetts avenue
N.W., none of whom had returned
to town this morning. I

Neutrality

and then new wars. We tried to
settle the boundaries of Europe in
the World War. It can't be done.
Let’s not try to do it now.
“Some of my Democratic friends
chide me for not going along with
our President. I have supported
nearly all of the New Deal acts.
Who was it that passed this Neu
trality Act? It is one of the ac
complishments of the New Deal.
To my mind, it is the best thing
the New Deal ever did. It placed
on the statute books a promise that
this country would not sell arms
and munitions to any belligerent.
During the campaign of 1936 I
spoke many times for the Demo
cratic ticket and principally I dis
cussed this Neutrality Act.
“I haven't left my administration.
My administration has left me.”
Before the Senate met, half a doz
en Senators arranged to confer with
Chairman Pittman of the Foreign
Relations Committee on as many
proposed changes in the shipping
features of the bill.
While most of the talk about
modification has centered around
lifting the ban on American shipping
in the Pacific-particularly with Aus
tralia and New Zealand—some Sen
ators believe it would be safe to al
low trading with belligerent colonies
in the South Atlantic and across to
South Africa.
Should any of these areas later
become "dangerous” for American
shipping, it was pointed out that the
President, under the provision au
thorizing him to designate combat
zones, could apply the ban to them.
Visiting the White House yester
day to urge President Roosevelt's
favor for modification of the ship
ping restrictions were Senator King,
Democrat, of Utah and former Sen
ator McAdoo of California, now an
official of the American Presidents
Line.
Senators Johnson, Republican, of
California, and Borah, Republican,
of Idaho, principal opponents of em
bargo repeal, also were working on
the compromise shipping clause.
Senator Borah expressed the belief
all Pacific shipping could be per
mitted.
Yesterday's floor debate saw two
leaders in the fight against the
Roosevelt court bill two years ago
j take opposite sides in the embasgo
scrap. They were Senators Burke,
Democrat, of Nebraska, and Clark,
j Democrat, of Missouri. Both spoke
| before galleries crowded with tour
I ists.
Senator Burke, replying to the
Missourian's contention that many
advocates of repeal felt it was a
“safe choosing of sides," declared he
saw “no justification on any ground
for permitting a law to stand that
favors Hitler."
Aid Seen for Germany.
“By hampering the allies in their
prosecution of the war," he said,
“the embargo favors Germany to the
certain extent of prolonging the
war for many months, if not years.”
He conceded that repeal of the
embargo would “certainly favor
Great Britain and Prance,” and go
far toward insuring victory for them
in a shortened war.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana, a repeal opponent, inter
rupted to observe that the “man who

says we ought to get into this war,
to make it a short war, or a long
war, isn't worthy of being called an
American.”
“I do not say,” Senator Burke re
joined, "that we should get into this
war, but it is true that the shorter
the war is in Europe, the less chance
there is that we'll get into it.”
Last speaker of the day was Sen
ator White, Republican, of Maine,
who had been counted in admin
istration polls as favoring repeal,
but who told the Senate he was re
serving judgment to see the bill in
Anal form.
King Speaks for Repeal.
Senator King spoke in behalf of
arms embargo repeal in a radio
address last night. He pointed out
he had opposed enactment of the
Neutrality Act in 1937, and added:
"The embargo is not a neutral
measure. It repeals in part the in
ternational law of neutrality. It is
not the duty of neutrals to keep an
even balance between both belliger
ents. If equal opportunity is afforded
to belligerents, the exactions of neu
trals are met.
"The important question before us
is to determine what we are willing
to sacrifice in the hope of escaping
being drawn into the conflict.”

"SPEECH
IS
POWER"
—Emerson
You can increase your power in your business,
professional or political life by improving your
ability in addressing groups of people.
Tomorrow evening, Friday of this week, an ad
vanced course in effective public speaking will hold
its first session at the Mayflower Hotel, East Room,
8 P.M.
This cour$p is designed for men and women
who have had previous training or experience in
speaking before groups of people and who want an
opportunity for further improvement.
The person who will conduct this course has
been engaged in adult education for fourteen
years. During the past three years he has person
ally trained more men and women to talk and
think on their feet than any other instructor in the
United States. He is Granville B. Jacobs of New
York City. ,
This is the seventh season he has conducted
classes in Washington. The first one he conducted
in this city was at the Riggs National Bank. Since
then many of Washington’s best-known business
and government executives have profited by his
coaching.
Here Are Seven Things You Can Get
Through This Advanced Training:
1. Refinement in speech organization.
2. Added poise and comfort when facing an
audience.
3. Increased self-assurance.
4. Improved powers of concentration while
under the pressure of platform speaking
or conference room discussion.
5. Training in conducting a meeting ac
cording to proper procedure.
6. Enriched tonal qualities in your voice.
An outstanding voice specialist will assist
in this course.
7. Added effectiveness when speaking im
promptu.
In this course you will find a practical setting
in which to improve your speaking ability. You
will be in the company of a co-operative group,
composed of representative men and women from
professional fields, government departments and
business organizations in the city of Washington.
How the Training Will Be Conducted
The group will meet one evening a week for
ten weeks. After the first week there will be two
sessions each time you assemble. One will be
a dinner session. Here you will speak in the at
mosphere of a banquet hall gathering. After the
dinner the group will assemble in another room
arranged as in a business conference or conven
tion. Thus each person will speak twice every
evening the class meets. The training will be in
tensive.
Immediately after each talk is given Mr. Jacobs
will analyze it. You will benefit not only from the
comments made about your talk, but from the sug
gestions made to the other speakers as well. You
will also get the benefit of the opinion of a co
operative audience—the members of the group.
Each person will receive training in organizing
and delivering extemporaneous talks in the four
basic types of speeches. That is, entertaining, in
formative, conviction and inspirational.
The enrollment will be limited. You will re
ceive personalized instruction. Mr. Jacobs will di
rect your progress from week to week throughout
the period of the course.
