Graf Spee Repair Began as Dash for Open Sea Favored
MONTEVIDEO URUGUAY UP Preparations for repairs on the damaged German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee began today for a dash to sea through a cordon of British cruisers. Refueling started amid growing expectation she would put to sea, while bodies of 36 German sailors were buried in a common grave in the North cemetery. A Uruguayan commission warned the Graf Spee must leave by tonight or be interned, as British cruisers Ajax, Achilles and Cumberland kept vigil off Montevideo. The Graf Spee’s fate hung on whether she could flee or be interned for the duration of the war.

Secrest Predicts Approval Of Modified Townsend Pensions
Rep Secrest argues that a modified Townsend old age pension plan will earn approval in Congress despite opposition. He says the bill would pay about 69 or 70 dollars a month to those over 60 and allocate funds after tax collection, benefiting dependent children and aiding Ohio schools, with surplus funds for other obligations. He notes original objections fade since taxes fund the plan and payments start after collection.
