Advisory Committee
On W. P. A. Projects
Meets at White House
Plans to Extend
Community Service
Are Discusesd
Members of the W. P. A.’s Na
tional Advisory Committee on Com
munity Service Projects held its first
meeting at the White House this
morning, with Mrs. Roosevelt as
chairman, to discuss plans for ex
tending the activities of the service.
Mrs. Roosevelt introduced as
speakers John Carmody. adminis
trator of the Federal Works Agen
cy; Col. F. C. Harrington, com
missioner of Work Projects, and
Mrs. Florence Kerr, assistant com
missioner in charge of the profes
sional and service division.
Mrs. Kerr said that "while many
of our projects in education, rec
reation, library work, child wel
fare, the arts and similar fields of
public service reach several million
people each month, we know there
still is room for improvement.
‘We know there still is a great
shortage of libraries in the rural
sections, that millions of underprivi
leged children lack adequate health
and recreation facilities and that a
large number of our adult popula
tion is desperately in need of more
education.
"It is our hope that the Ad
visory Committee, composed of lead
ers in many fields of community
service, will be able to show us how
to spread our available resources
over an even greater territory than
is now being reached.”
Among those who volunteered to
serve on the Advisory Committee
and who attended the first meeting
this morning were Dr. Harold H.
Benjamin, dean of the school of
education, University of Maryland;
the Rev. Everett Clinchy, director
of the National Conference of Chris
tians and Jews, New York, and Mrs.
Melvyn Douglas of Los Angeles,
known on the stage as Helen Ga
hagan.
A session was to be held this
afternoon at the Hay-Adams House
to hear discussions' by W. P. A. staff
members of the organization and
operation of community service
projects.
On Wednesday morning a perma
nent chairman will be elected and
four subcommittees named to con
sider community organization, spon
sors’ relations, community informa
tion and local needs and program
planning. The final session will be
held Thursday afternoon.
Lochner
_ (Continued From First Page.)
if Gen. von Reichenau can intercept
the allied forces heading for the
coast. Besides, Hitler is not nearly
as much interested in Paris as in
London
One must not forget that Hitler
regards the present war primarily
as a fight with the British Empire.
Months of incessant propaganda
have inculcated this idea also in
the minds of the German people.
Anti-English Song Played.
Significantly, every radio an
nouncement concerning events in
the west ends with the stereotyped
playing of the song, “We Are Sail
ing Against England.” No tune is
ever played indicating an anti
French theme. The anti-English
song also was played during the
seizure of Denmark and the Nor
wegian campaign.
Once on control of the Belgian
and French coastal harbors Hitler
would want to get ready for a
smashing drive on the British Isles,
lor which the first chapter would
be a gigantic air attack.
Here, among army people, one
constantly hears this phrase uttered
with decided advance satisfaction:
“Not since 1066 has England had
an enemy on her shores. Hitler
will continue where the Normans
left off.”
This may be wishful thinking, but
there is no doubt that a spirit of
supreme confidence pervades the
army as it pours reserve after re
serve into gaps opened in the French
and Belgian defenses.

been repeated. The library of the
University of Louvain, burned in
1014 and rebuilt with American
funds, is charred wreckage once
more.
Flames have gutted the 1500,000
structure, erected through public
subscription in the United States,
and have destroyed its 700,000 rare
volumes, collected from around the
world and contributed to replace
those lost in 1914.
No one seemed to be able to say
how the Are started. All floors had
been swept by the flames and smoke
still came from the basement as we
looked at it late yesterday.
Many American universities co
operated to erect the new building
on Herbert Hoover Square.
In the Germans’World War advance
through Belgium they occupied
Louvain on August 19,1014. A week
later the library was destroyed by
Are, with thousands of books and
manuscripts which could not be re
placed.
Town Itself Shattered.
To help equip the new building,
which was built after Cardinal
Mercier, head of the university, had
visited the United States and sug
gested aid for it, various govern
ments contributed a total of 350,000
volumes. Of these 30,000 came from
Germany, 55,000 from Britain and
33.000 from France.
(It was ordered originally that
the inscription, “Furore Teu
tonico Diruta; Dono Americano
Restituta”—“Destroyed by Ger
man Fury; Restored by Ameri
can Generosity”—be placed on
the library balustrade. The
balustrade was built twice with
out the inscription and both
times it was destroyed by Bel
gians, but finally was allowed to
remain blank.)
The ancient town of Louvain
itself, a 14th century cloth-making
center long famous as the seat of
the university, was shelled and
shattered and practically the entire
population of 41,000 had fled. It
presented a picture of desolation.
Entire families, from aged grand
mother to nursing infant, were seen
perched miserably on top of spring
less carts drawn by horses. Intermi
nable lines of wanderers on foot,
weighted down with as much as
they could carry, trekked out of
the town.
The German administration was
trying to organize relief with char
acteristic efficiency.
I saw another scene of wrecking
at Steenockerzeel, where the little
Belgian castle of the Archduke Otto
of Hapsburg, pretender to the van
ished Austrian throne, had been
bombed and blown apart.
The Germans were prompted to
bomb the castle because the British
had made it a divisional staff head
quarters, It was said. One bomb
struck beside it, digging a hole 30
feet deep and blowing off part of
the roof. Otto's shaving equipment
was spread over the grand piano.
Costly French prints were scattered
in the wreckage. Letters belonging
to Otto’s mother, the former Em
press Zita, were strewn about.
(Reports last week said that
Zita and her family had fled
safely to France in ^advance of
the German invasion. Otto had
been home but a few days after
returning from a trip to the
United States.)
These scenes at Steenockerzeel
and Louvain were in marked con
tract to the situation found at Brus
sels, Where I had expected to find at
least a large part of the capital In
ruins. But as a matter of fact, the
city is practically unhurt.

glum and Europe, was demolished,
but in Brussels proper life seemed
amazingly normal.
German officers and soldiers were
treated courteously by the people
who seemed relieved tnat their city
had been spared bombing.
It is reported that there has been
no sniping in any part of Belgium
or Holland, and as a result German
authorities say they expect it will
be much easier than in 1914-1918 to
put into operation the German ad
ministration of the occupied areas.
In numerous shops I visited people
bought and sold as usual. Cafes and
restaurants were well filled and still
had peacetime stocks and rations.
There was butter, bread, eggs and
meat aplenty.
