Work And Planning The pageant was illustrative of a great amount of work and planning, all of which was supervised generally by Ray Theurer. Scenes were played vividly, continuity was surprisingly smooth, and every actor played his part as though his professional reputation depended upon it. And that's why the Providence pageant was a success. Additional features of the day's program included a softbaU game, athletic show, carnival presentation of queen and attendants. Hyrum opened her Eighty Years of Progress edition Tuesday evening when Henry D. Moyle of Salt Lake City and Alma Sonne of Logan addressed a large gathering at the city park in a pioneer meeting.

The difficulty in estimating tbe number who perished on the Lancastria arose from the fact some reached safety but fell into German hands. It was stated that from 5,300 to i,500 were aboard the ship, including troops, women and children. Of these 2,477 were known rescued, leaving 2,823 to 3,023 listed as missing. If the number estimated to have fallen into German hands proves to be smaller than 1,000, the death toll on the two ships may mount over 3,000.

Hardy was located by officers late last night and reported he jumped from the car when it started sliding into the reservoir. He was alone in the automobile.

Announcement Seen But London political sources reported Minister of Economic Warfare Hugh Dalton was prepared to announce extension of the blockade until a postponement of his scheduled statement to the house of commons this afternoon. Whether, in view of British efforts to maintain normal relations with Spain, an extension will be formally announced later was uncertain but there were strong Indications that. In any event, determined efforts would be made to present goods from being reshipped to Germany. The importance of British efforts to use sea power to tighten the blockade of the continent, in addition to possible political repercussions In countries such as Spain, may lie in the condition of crops and of reserve supplies of food war material available to Germany and Italy. War In Air The war in the air went on, still without giving any definite clue to when or whether Hitler will arder a blitzkrieg offensive or Invasion attempt against the British Isles. German bombers, which were disclosed yesterday to include American planes captured In France, resumed attacks on British shipping, but were reported driven off ft by guns and escort British fighting planes.
