WAR PRISONERS' BOOKS STOPPED

German censors have put u complete ban on Penguin books for British prisoners of war. The reasons are not altogether clear, though they seem to have to do with the anti-Hitler tone -of-some-of-the-hooks...

Such books would not. of course, be permitted to go to the prisoners in any case: but advertisements of them appear in others of the series which are innocent of political mean- ing.

Naval Co-operation

By OTTO JANSSEN

United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 20 (UP)-The visit of naval chiefs of 11. Latin-American countries to the United States this month affords an opportunity for informal discussion relating to inter- American defence of the Western Hemisphere in the event of attack.'

According to the Navy Department's official announcement, the purpose of the visit is to promote goodwill and give the naval ollicers of the other American republies a chance to observe the development of United States naval activities.

However, informed quarters | believe the question of inter- American fleet co-operation, which would be of primary im- portance in the event of attack against virtually any part of the hemisphere, will not be over- looked.
