14- (Delaved) -'INS) -The British, legation ir. Reykjavik, land, is defaced with crude chalked swastikas and written vulgarities which the British with superb aplomb allow to remain. Iceland does not enthuse about the British. The American consulate, even since the arrival of troops from the United States, has not been nolested in any manner and the Icelanders seem to warm up to the Americans slightly more. There w.s even before the British occupation, a considerable pronazi bloc in Iceland and while the British as one of the first moves after their arrival saw.

Has Several Reasons The Icelander has several reasons for hi: pro-German sentiment. For one it had been the custom in the past for students of higher education to move on from the island's university to the postgraduate schools of Germany. For another, the Icelander is an independent soul and the British pretty much took over when they moved in.
His resentment is not so much at individual British soldiers officers as at the entire proposition of being "protected" against a nation which many Icelanders consider a friend. The goverament itself although it "invited" both Britain and the United States to come in has not been sold to the last man on the proposition and the people most certainly nave not. They tolerate rather than welcome and endure rather than embrace the visitors. Reception Is Cold Britons who have been stationed at various camps here for many months report that their attempts to make friends with nearby farmers have met frigid reception. That also goes for the farmers' daughters.
There are Icelanders who have been in the United States and whose conduct toward even the Americans is at least partial indication of a desire to stay entirely clear of both Britons and Americans.

UNCLE SAM BIG BOSS AS WORK GETS UNDERWAY No Sign of Disturbance, No Force Used by Government Men ADMIRAL BOWEN SAYS JOBS SATISFACTORY Urgently Needed Warships, Merchant Vessels Can Be Built By Jaines L.
Kilgallen KEARNY, N. Aug. 26- (INS)-With Harold G. Bowen as the big boss, the United States navy today began operating the governmentplant of the Federal Shipbuilding and Dry Dock compan, at 3-10 per cent of normal capacity." Thousands of men, who had been on strike since August 7, marched back to work this morning seemingly willing to be bossed by Uncle Sam rather than private management. There wasn't the slightest sign of a disturbance and the government made no show of force.
Promptly at 7:30 a. m. when the four gates leading to the huge plant were opened the men, carrying lunch pails and their tool kits, streamed back to work just as if there never had been a strike. Less than ten policemen were assigned to each gate. Admiral Bowen, wearing his navy blue uniform, announced shortly before noon, after a survey of the plant, that 10,889 men had reported and were at work.
That number compared with 11,160 which comprised the day shift on August 5. The admiral said he expected that virtually all of the 16,000 employes would be back at their posts within twenty-four hours. Releases Orders Resumption of work on 000 in orders for urgently needed warships and merchant vessels was only the forerunner of bigger things to come, according to Admiral Bowen, who knuckled down to the task of expanding the plant's business. Admiral Bowen announced he would continue the policy of the private management of having the men work around the three shifts a day, including Sunday. There are now thirteen ships on the ways--two cruisers, six destroyers, three tankers and two cargo carriers.
"The spirit of the men is fine," Admiral Bowen said. "They seemed darned glad to be back at work. I was particularly impressed by their will to work. I have the complete cooperation of the management which has gone out and of the union." L. H.
Korndorff, president of the company taken over by the government, was not in the plant.

The action came when 250 persons, representing five organizations, appeared before the council and protested the use of public property by Lindbergh. Most of the protestants were American Legion members.
Herbert K. Hyde, Oklahoma City attorney and chairman of the local American First committee, said arrangen ents were under way for Lindbergh to speak elsewhere "even if it has be in a cow pasture." "This man Lindbergh," said Ross Lillard, former Legion commander, "has no sympathy for ican defense efforts. He is in sympathy with the enemy. He should be drawing an enormous salary from Hitler because he is doing just what Hitler wants done in this country--creating dissension." To Refund Rent The council voted to refund to the American First organization payment for rent of the auditorium and to explain that the contract had been made without the realization that Lindbergh was to be the speaker. "We aren't denying him freedom of speech," stated Councilman A.
