UkJNIb 12 CENTS Boris Dies; Son, 6, Is New King; Danish Ruler Threatens to Quit As Nazis Act to Crush Rebellion Ankara Hears Rumor Bulgarian Monarch Was Assassinated By :hf Associated Press LONDON. Aug. 28.—King Boris II of Bvlgaria died today at 4:42 p.m. (10:42 a.m., EWT) and his 6-year-old son Simeon succeeded to the throne -as King Simeon II. the German radio announced. Boris’ death—at the age of 49— whether by illness or assassination —raised the critical question whether the Nazis would be able to tighten their slipping control of the reluctantly aligned Axis satellite, or whether, as in the last war, the Bal kan nation would be the first to open Germany's back door to the Allies. Berlin broadcasts recorded by the Associated Press said Premier Bog dan Philov announced King Si meon's ascension in a proclamation, calling on Bulgarians to "stand still firmer arotfnd the throne of the King." Council Takes Control. The proclamation added that by constitutional provision, the minis terial council “will take over ad ministration of Bulgaria until a settlement of the problem of the regency.’! The Germans said Boris had died of sudden heart disease coupled with lung troubles after a five-day illness. Berlin vigorously denied that this illness had stemmed from a violent quarrel with Hitler at his headquar ters. when Boris reportedly still re fused to send Bulgarian troops to fight Russia. Unconfirmed reports received in Ankara said Boris might have been shot in the stomach by an assassin. Boris, one of the foxiest diplomats In Europe, had been king 23 years and absolute master of his country's political life for nine years, and it was doubted that any member of the Bulgar royal family would be able to hold the nation together. Wins First Round. Simeon’s succession would indi cate that Premier Philov, Boris’ go between with Hitler, was winning the first round in an attempt to keep control as premier with a puppet king on the throne. Premier Philov also was seen as retaining his grip if a regency with the Queen, under German protec tion, were established. On the other hand, while liberal and democratic parties are sup pressed in Bulgaria, it is known that the three main ones continue their existence underground, pos sibly ready to lead an uprising. The royal family was at Boris' bedside when he died at his palace, and the King’s standard was low ered as Philov announced the news to Bulgarians by radio. Boris ascended the throne Oct. 1. 1918, but it was not until 1933 w-hen Hitler came into power that Boris became politically active in direct ing Bulgarian foreign policy. Paid Visit to Hitler. In 1934, he visited Hitler in Ber lin. and within two months estab lished a virtual dictatorship in Bul garia. His coup d’etat suspended the constitution, dissolved the national assembly and abolished political parties. Boris signed a nonaggression pact with the Balkan entente July 31. 1938, giving Bulgaria the right to rearm. The same year, he toured Britain, Italy, France and Germany, meeting Mussolini, King Victor Emanuel and Hitler. The eldest son of King Ferdinand. Boris was born in Sofia, educated in Bulgaria and spoke English. He served as a captain in the Balkan wars and in the World War against the Allies wfas on the general head quarters staff.

Mine Explosion Kills Thirteen in Alabama Dozen More Burned, 110 Thought Rescued Bt the Associated Press. BIRMINGHAM. Ala., Aug. 28 At least 13 miners were killed and 12 others were burned tonight in a gas explosion deep within the Sa.v reton No. 2 coal mine of Republic Steel Corp., near here. Norman E. Thompson, Republic general mine superintendent, said he believed the other 110 men on the night shift at the slope had been brought out, unhurt. Search of the mine was continuing, however. Mr. Thompson said the 13 dead and most of those burned were at a single working face, and that the other portions of the mine were not affected. Ten of those burned were taken to a Birmingham hospital and two were still at the mine opening. Itescue crews fought their way through the debris left by the blast and reached the trapped men. Most of the men were working at the ninth level, nearly two miles from the slope opening, when they were trapped. Three, however, were on a car near the mine opening and reached the surface within a few minutes. Two of these were burned. 4 A RAF Bombers Hit Nuernberg, Nazi Pageant Center Planes Travel 1,100 Miles to Pound City With Block-Busters By She Associated Pre*s LONDON, Aug. 28.—The RAF Bomber Command, reaching deep into Germany, hailed block busters last night on Nurenberg, Nazi pageant city and manufac turing center, and overwhelmed German defenses with a shat I tering weight of explosing steel. The bomb tonnage in this second saturation blow of the week—fol lowing up the Monday night as sault on Berlin—was not disclosed but it was the greatest bomber fleet ever to go out in such close formation and so low. In total strength,.however, indications were that it ranked under the heaviest armadas ever blasting at Germany. Thirty-three bombers were lost in this attack and other wide ranging raids, including Mosquito I assaults on the battered Ruhr, and (See RAIDS, Page A-17.) Red Army Threatens To Cut Railroad Line Linking Nazi Fronts Russians Within 15 Miles Of Bryansk-Kiev Road In the Central Sector Bj th; Associated Press. LONDON, Sunday, Aug. 29.— Soviet troops, rapidly developing their newest break through the German lines from fallen Sevsk, plunged on over the bodies of 2,000 Nazi dead yesterday for gains of 3 to 5 miles and recap tured more th^n 50 villages to draw nearer to the vital Bry ansk-Kiev railway, Moscow an nounced today.

The town was I heavily raided again by Soviet bombers Friday night, as was Ros lavl, midway between Smolensk and Bryansk. German forces, fighting desper ately to §tave off this enveloping i drive, counterattacked ferociously near Zenkov, 85 miles northwest of Kharkov, but Russian forces “de veloping their offensive gained fav orable positions,” the Russian an nouncement said. Vast booty, including tanks, am munition and supply dumps and big guns, was taken in the tw-o main drives.

In the aerial raids behind the Ger man lines at Poltava and Roslavl, the Russians said that several freight trains loaded with ammuni tion and equipment were set afire by direct hits.

Nineteen German tanks were (See RUSSIA, Page A-18.) Communications Cut In Crisis; Cabinet Declared Out By th* Associated Press. STOCKHOLM. Sunday, Aug. 29.—King Christian III of Den mark was reported today to have threatened to abdicate if the Danish government accepts a German ultimatum placing the kingdom under full Nazi military control. The ultimatum, brought back from Berlin by German Minister Werner Best, was said to have in cluded provisions for a state of siege, military tribunals empowered to inflict the death penalty on sab oteurs, a ban on strikes, a general curfew, complete Nazi control of the Danish press, and imposition of a heavy fine on the city of Odense, where the wave of rebellion origi nated. Swedish-Danish telephone com munications were severed suddenly last night—the usual Nazi tactic when events of extraordinary im portance are taking place. Travel ers from Denmark said the govern ment of Prime Minister Erik de Sbavenius already had resigned. Unions Order General Strike. Indications that the Danish peo ple were preparing to protest the change in German policy were seen in an order of the Danish trade unions ordering a general strike to begin today—an order which would openly defy the reported ban on all strikes contained in the new ulti matum. Three and a half hours after telephone service between Den mark and Sweden was cut off telegraphic communication be tween the two countries also was suspended, the Swedish Motala radio reported in a broadcast re corded by the Federal Com munications Commission.) Reports to the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter from Malmoe. a city on the southern tip of Sweden which is only a 90-minute boat ride from Denmark, said the travelers also reported new rumors that the Germans planned tp intern King Christian in Sorgenfri Castle near Copenhagen. Toll of Wounded Passes 200. The Danish radio announced can cellation of Sunday's athletic events. The toll of wounded in recent riots passed 200 today when it w-as dis closed that 30 persons W'ere injured in the Copenhagen riots three days ago. Scores of both Danes and Ger mans also have been killed. Strategically, Denmark is an im portant cog in Germany’s military defenses. An internal revolt could aid any Allied invasion of the coun try or Northern Germany, which is the shortest land route to Berlin. Denmark also is a major German base for the transshipment of sup plies to Norway. It is estimated the Germans now have 70,000 troops in Denmark. Many signs pointed to lull mili tary control, for the German army already has taken over at least 10 cities and large contingents of Nazi troops recently were rushed into Copenhagen and Esbjerg. Radio Gives No Hint of Events. A political upheaval could mean Best taking over on the German pattern of rule in Czechoslovakia. The Danish radio continued to operate, but nothing in the eve ning's news broadcast gave a hint as to the new turn in German ef forts to curb the nation-wide surge of sabotage and clashes between Danes and occupation troops. If the situation meant that Ger man Gen. Hermann von Hannecken and his occupation army are about to take over full military control, it threatens to explode even more violence by the Danes against the Germans. The Danes know full well that Gen. Hannecken will take ruthless measures in suppressing the revolt. Rather than submit to that, they may develop their sporadic out breaks into an organized revolution. Danes here in close touch with their mother country said that feel ing is even more bitter against the Germans now than when they took over Denmark in the sneak attack of April 4, 1940.

39% Boost in Funds For Health Facilities Is Asked by Ruhland Request for $5,025,389 In 1945 Wouid Include Two New Services By DON S. WARREN. An optimistic program for ex pansion of District health and hospital services is proposed by Health Officer George C. Ruh land in his estimates for the 1945 fiscal year, beginning next July 1, which were made public last night by the Commissioners. The outlay proposed is $5,025,389 compared with $3,804,247 for the current year, but an additional $300,000 will be asked for care of District patients at Freedman's Hos pital. This would bring the re quested increase over this year's budget to about 39 per cent. Extra help and facilities are sought by Dr. Ruhland for food in spection, for the rat control pro gram, and clinics and hospitals, but the high lights of his expansion program are requests for establish ment of cancer control and mental hygiene services. Previous Pleas Ignored. Heretofore, following recommen dations made by the United States Puolic Health Service and other groups. Dr. Ruhland has suggested, at 'east once, creation of cancer control and mental hygiene pro grams, without success. A three-year program for exten sion of the nursing bureau is an other feature. Dr. Ruhland asked for the addition of 47 nurses in 1945, an equal number in the next year and 41 more for 1947, making a total increase of 135 above the present authorized strength of 155. The department's estimate for the Tuberculosis Sanatorium at Glenn Dale, Md., calls for no increase in nurses, although the Federal Bud get Bureau is said to have reported that 18 more were needed than now are authorized. Department officials said it would be impossible to secure them. Though "desper ately short of nurses,” with 30 va cahcies in the present authorized i strength, Glenn Dale officials agreed that there was an insufficient num ber to meet the demands of the armed forces and civilian needs. To counteract tnis nursing short age, Dr. Ruhland asked for addi tional dietitians and housekeepers as a means of reducing the burden on the nursing staff. __ Emphasizing that cancer is the (See D.

Rome Air-Raid Alarm Reported by Swiss By the Associated Press. LONDON, Aug. 28.—The Swiss radio said tonight that air-raid alarms sounded in Rome between 1:20 and 1:30 p.m. (7:20 to 7:30 am. Eastern War Time) today, but made no mention of bombing. The alarms may have sounded because of Allied planes winging close to the city to reach neigh boring air fields and rail junctions, which have been heavily pounded during recent raids. The broadcast was recorded by the Associated Press. Agencies Want Congress to Kill Strike Vote Privilege in War Officials Enforcing Smith-Connally Law Believe Unions Are Abusing Their Rights By tne Associated Press. Officials administering the two-month-old Antistrike Act disclosed last night that they al ready intend to ask Congress to scrap the law's strike notice pro vision. The officials, none of whom would permit Quotation, cited figures show ing that there have been 180 such notices filed so far and 13 strikes voted. While an actual strike has not resulted, they contended that local unions and independent groups have been using the strike ballot provision as a tool to serve half a dozen pur poses, none of them intended by the act, and confusing the entire labor relations picture. Arguments to persuade Congress to change the law, It. was disclosed, I will include the thesis that reliance on labor's no-strike pledge and on the War Labor Board's newly ac quired sanctions power would pro vide a more workable way to handle the situation. Dependence on the no-trike pledge was unsuccessfully adovated by the administration when Con gress passed the law. But the WLB sanctions were authorized by execu tive order since then, thereby in jecting a new element. The sanc tions are primarily intended to enforce decisions of the board where unions or employers rebel. They may be used in any strike, it was pointed out by those desiring to change the law, even where a board "(See STRIKE VOTE, Page A-14.) D. C.

In compiling this score, Mr. Wright stated, no consideration was given to reports of enemy planes “probably" destroyed. He said some estimates show the P-40 with a margin of 18 to 1 victories.

A plan to make more butter available for civilian use soon through curtailment of Govern ment allotments was disclosed yesterday by officials of the War Food Administration. These sources also reported they are considering a number of plans to bolster dairy production by al lowing price increases for milk and other products. An announcement respecting butter may be made this week, they said. Cut Federal Hold-Back. Under the projected order, the Government would set aside 20 per cent, instead of 30 per cent of the Nation's production for Govern ment use in September. In Octo ber and possibly two or three addi tional months, all production of butter would go to civilians. The WFA officials explained the policy was in line with the plan to store up butter for military and lease-lend use during the sum mer months of heavy production, and allow most of the butter man ufactured in fall and winter to go to civilians. Approximately 210,000.000 pounds of butter, mostly Government stocks, were in storage August 1. The average at that- date is about 155,000,000. Housewives Short. While WFA officials feel that Government stocks are not exces sive, complaints from some areas that housewives have been unable to buy any butter led to the deci sion to reduce the Government’s share. Under consideration to spur dairy production, officials said, is an in crease in prices to milk producers, to be offset with either higher prices to consumers or extension of sub sidies. Milk prices have been at ceiling levels for months, and the season al increases usually charged in the fall and winter to stimulate pro duction cannot be made without elevating the ceilings or granting subsidies. One proposal under consideration is to allow farmers increases of from 40 to 60 cents a hundred pounds for milk during November, December, January and February, with smaller increases for early fall and early spring.

LONDON, Aug. 28.—The jocose description of Rudolf Hess as "an overgrown Boy Scout" by Brendan Bracken, British minister of infor mation, has deeply cut Wolf Cub Masters and Scout Mistresses who began phoning Boy Scouts Associa tions and London newspapers to day to lodge indignant complaints.

'Work-or-Fighf Case Quashed in Rockville Court Did Not Offer Youth Specific Wages, Farmer Testifies By GEORGE KENNEDY. Stanley Day, 19-year-old Mont gomery County farm worker who was convicted Thursday of vio lating Maryland’s “work-or flght” law, was freed fronts road gang yesterday after a morning’s work. According to testimony at his second hearing, he was rejected for his “slow thinking'' by the Army in which his four brothers, including his twin, are serving. After the youth’s employer, who made the complaint against him, testified in Rockville Police Court he had not offered a specific wage rate, the youth was acquitted. State's Attorney Joseph B. Simp son cut short the testimony of the youth’s employer, Harry Bussard, elderly Laytonsville farmer, after this admission. Mr. Simpson "con ferred in the hall with his assistant, Alfred D. Noyes, and said after re turning to the courtroom: “In view of the evidence that there was no offer at the prevailing wage, I confess on behalf of the State a plea of not guilty.” Judge Accepts Motion. Judge Donald A. De Lashmutt immediately accepted the State’s motion and the husky, curly-haired youth, who a few minutes before had been a pathetic figure in the witness chair, was free. His older sister, Mrs. Paul Crown of Derwood, was the only member of the family who came to court voluntarily in his behalf. Her husband said he would tje able to get the boy a job "at real wages.” Defense Counsel Louis Lebowitz of Mount Rainier placed the boy’s par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel B.'Day, on the stand, but their testi mony was of little help to the youth. Although the State’s attorney had suggested the second hearing, he objected vigorously to the defense attorney’s question as “leading.” The prosecutor's final motion came as a surprise to the few onlookers. The youth’s conviction had aroused much interest in the press. His halt ing speech in interviews led to re ports that his pay had been with held to pay a debt of his father, a tenant on the Bussard farm. The Civil Liberties Division of the Jus tice Department became interested in the possibilities of "peonage" within 20 miles of the Nation’s Capi tol. After the hearing, department officials said they still had the case "under consideration,” but that nc decision had been made on it. Paid $2 a Day. The youth testified he was paid for his work at the rate of $2 a day His hours were 8 a m. to 8 p.m., he said. He added that he worked pari time several days for which he was paid $1.50. There was nothing in the hearing to substantiate the “peonage'’ pos sibility. Day explained afterward he was talking about his pay in thi spring when it went to pay th« family bill at a nearby store. It became evident from his testi mony that he did not want to work for Mr. Bussard and his sons, be cause his feelings were hurt.

OPA Limits Deliveries Of Coal to Homes In 12 Eastern States By the Associated Press. The Office of Price Adminis tration last night clamped re strictions on the delivery of anthracite to householders in the District, Maryland, Virginia and 10 other Northeastern States between September 1 and December 1 to prevent some con sumers from getting the entire retail supply while others live in heatless homes. Affecting onjv hard coal, the pri ority order limits deliveries to con sumers having less than half their season’s supply in the bin. The order, effective from Septem ber 1, was issued by authority of the War Production Board, which specified that no coupon rationing system should be started “until specifically requested.” The con trols may be extended or dropped after December 1, depending on the hard coal supply situation at that time. Preference Ruling. Dealers are required to fill orders first from those consumers who have on hand less than one-fourth of the amount burned during the “base year"—the 12 months ended March 31, 1943. Second preference must be given persons who have on hand 25 per cent but less than 50 per cent of last season’s consumption. The dealers, who are solely re sponsible for enforcement of the priority system, are forbidden to deliver anthracite to dwellings which already have on hand 50 per cent or more of the base year's j supply or to those which would have 1 more than 50 per cent if the deliv- ery were made. Besides the District. Maryland and Virginia, the order applies to Maine, New Hampshire. Vermont, Massa chusetts. Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. i When ordering anthracite, the Jjurchaser is required to tell the Jdealer the amount he wishes to buy, ;the amount he used during the base year and the amount on hand. A signed statement confirming this must be furnished the dealer within seven days, at the time of or before delivery. Recommended by Ickes. The OPA order was the result of recommendations issued by Fuel Ad ministrator Ickes to WPB, which in turn transmitted them to the ra tioning agency. Mr. Ickes estimated that 11,000,000 tons of hard coal would be available for domestic con sumers in the three-month period. Dealers were prohibited from discriminating against consumers whose old dealers have gone out of business, those who have converted from oil to coal heat and those who have recently moved into residences using coal-burning equipment. The 50 per cent limitation is waived in cases where a consumer, when getting the smallest single load which he normally has ordered In the past, would thereby get more than 50 per cent. In no case, how ever, may any delivery made before November 1, 1943, bring the total on hand to more than 75 per cent. Waivers Allowed. The signed statement to the dealer will be waived for any con sumer who used not more than three tons of anthracite in the base period and who has not acquired more than 1V4 tons since September 1, 1943. If a person did not use anthracite during the base year, he may sub stitute, when ordering, an estimate of the amount he will need from April 1, 1943, to March 31, 1944. Mr. Ickes simultaneously revised the anthracite distribution regula tion by restricting the amount which producers and wholesalers can ship to retailers for domestic use to not more than 90 per cent of their re quirements in the base year. Producers having an excess will deliver to the customers of other producers whose output would other wise be insufficient to supply the 90 per cent. Anthracite in transit at that time the order goes into effect may be delivered.

America’s mobile tank destroyers, which cost $14,000 each, helped smash Marshal Rommel in Africa, and w'ere effectively employed in Sicily. Their range is a s^iret. Self propelled artillery (any cannon mounted on a motor vehicle, half or full truck is so designated) dates back to the last war. Rushed to Egypt barely in time for British gun crews to be trained in their use, these tank destroyers sent Rommel’s army reeling in re treat through Libya. This tank destroyer is the earliest model of all our tank destroyers, and is spoken of by Army ordnancemen as the tank destroyer in its in fancy. It satisfied an urgent need at the time of its first fabrication, and was mounted then on a 2 Vi-ton truck, or half-track, which was heavily armored for those times. The gun shown here throws a 15 pound shell. It has often turned the tide of battle because of its mobility and speed of operation. Your purchase of War bonds during the coming campaign will help to purchase such weapons as these. Without them, the Allied Nations cannot win. Russians Using American Seeds to Grow 3,400,000 Tons of Food This Summer By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE, Associated Press Science Editor. NEW YORK, Aug. 28—Russia is growing this summer, from Amer ican seeds, 3,400.000 tons of food— enough to fill 500 ships. This food may be the margin that will carry a literally half-starved European Russian population of well over 100,000,000 through an other winter of W'ar. Right now, they are getting 1,500 calories a day—half a normal American diet. The American seeds totaled 3.500, 000 pounds. From them Russia is growing Minnesota egg pUnt, In diana spinach,' Californi:. lima beans, Connecticut corn, Illinois peas, North Dakota whe^t and 25 other staple food crops from every State in our Union. The figures come irom a survey by Russian War Relief, Inc., which collected the seeds and has been rbrrfpiling the little-known epic of Russian war agriculture. 7% of Farmlands Overrun. The Germans got 40 per cent of Russia’s farm lands in the 7 per cent of the nation’s territory they over ran. It would be a comparable sit uation if Hitler had been able to take the huge block of our Midwest comprising the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and all of Missouri except a narrow strip bordering on Arkan sas. The worst problem, more difficult in Russia than here, was where to Arkansas Governor Hits Diamond Pit Ban By the Associated Pres*. LITTLE ROCK, Ark,, Aug. 28.— Asserting the War Production Board was "short-sighted" in rejecting re quests for machinery to re-open the Arkansas diamond mines, Gov. Homer M. Adkins told WPB Chief Donald Nelson tonight he did not think "a British combine should be permitted to dictate our policy.” Gov. Adkins questioned Mr.’ Nel son by telephone regarding WPB’s recent refusal for the second time to authorize the machinery. He said the WPB chief declared he had not. been advised the request was refused, and he would investigate. In refusing the request Wednes day, a WPB spokesman in Washing ton said present imports were suf ficient to meet the needs of United States industry, and output from the Southwest Arkansas field would not justify expense of war-vital ma terials. Virtually all industrial dia monds are imported through the Diamond Corp., a British firm. Gov. Adkins declined to elaborate further for publication on the Brit ish combine. "I haven’t given up hope of de veloping the Pike County field," he declared. "Every time this program has gotten under way, it's been side tracked. I think it is high time we developed our own resources and quit relying on a foreign combine.” He said the capture of North Africa by the Axis would have cut off the supply of war-vital indus trial diamonds from South Africa. Swedish Transport Plane Missing Over North Sea By the Associated Press. STOCKHOLM. Aug. 28.—A Swed ish civilian plane carrying four crewmen and three passengers— one of whom may have been an Iranian diplomat—was reported missing today over the North Sea on a flight from Scotland. Swedish planes and some from the German occupation army in Norway began a search. There was speculation whether the ship was forced down by engine trouble, or possibly had been the victim of a German flghter-patroi plane. The Swedish Foreign Of fice emphasized that it had no in formation, but it was recalled that German airmen had molested Swedish plane* on that route pre viously. find the land to replace the lost area and where to find the farmers. Russia shipped the farmers thou sands of miles to lands back to the Urals where the soil was different, the temperature different. They had to learn new techniques and Rus sian scientists had to breed new kinds of qualities into plants to make successful crops. For example, the sugar beet crop was transferred to Kazakhstan. 1.000 miles eastward, where no sugar beets ever had been grown. Last year more than a million acres of virgin soil was planted to beets, and the acreage is more than doubled this year. Tractor Plants Moved. Russia had four months to effect the trek of her farmers, along with the others of 38.000,000 fugitives. Tliev_ salvaged farm, imschtheiy, moved farm machinery works bodily. The great Rostov agricultural ma chinery works is now producing in far-off Uzbekistan, north of Afghan istan. The Kharkov tractor plant was moved to Siberia. This Russian agricultural battle became mainly a woman’s job. Before the war 30,000.000. Russian women worked on farms. For the war work, they went to school, to agricultural college, and 3,000,000 of their children joined them in plant ing and reaping. Nearly a million Russian girls learned to operate tractors, thou sands of them in areas close enough to the German lines to require blackout driving night operations (Every tractor ran night and day.) When the tractor reached the end of a row', a girl on the opposite side of the field would hold up a lighted piece of tow\ momentarily, for the tractor driver to sight upon to fix her new course across the field, Nurseries for 8,000,000. Rural nurseries and kindergar tens were increased where possible They care for 8,000,000 young chil dren whose mothers are growing food. In Moscow this summer more than 10.000 school children planted their playgrounds to Victory gar dens. The children have gardens also on window sills and balconies. Students in school workshops make the spades, rakes, hoes, sprinklers I and palls from scrap metal and materials. Lack of seed has been an unend ing handicap. The children have been taught to save potatoe eyes and tops of large tubers for seed. The Russians have j made the bitter choice of reaucing their already half-diet still lower to I save some of the food as seed for i the next crop. State farms gave all they could I spare. Back behind the Urals, farmers pooled seed for the Euro pean Russians. But there never was enough. The fighting men had to be well fed. War workers had extra rations. Transportation was congested and slow. Great State Science. Agriculture is one of the great state sciences in Russia, and Rus sian scientists have a long and bril liant agricultural record. Prof. Trofim Lysenko evolved the theory of vernalization, subjecting seeds to warm indoor temperatures before planting, and is using this to get more crops in Siberia. Prof. Lysenko started the potato eye method of potato seeding and a half million Russian children were set at that job alone in the winter of 1942. Academician V. N. Tistin has de veloped a wheat which produces two crops a year. But it is a success only in warm southern areas. He is working now to develop frost re sistance. As in her military success. Rus sia's basis for the present agricul tural program started long before this war. Ten years ago Stalin’s government started a wheat pro gram which, by the time war broke out, had 18,000,000 acres in produc tion in Siberia, in areas scattered from the Arctic to the Indian bor der. They were the nuclei which the Russians enlarged when the Ukraine was lost. They made it possible for Russia to plant an extra 5.000,000 acres of ■wheat in Siberia in 1942 and an other 16.000.000 this year. One of Russia's Saviors. In no mean sense this wheat was one of Russia’s saviors. Black bread is one of the Russian's main sources oi the calories that give a person energy. There are many human facets to this agricultural story. The gueril las, Partisans as the Russians call them, did more than fight. They raised food for their brothers back in the unoccupied lands and got it through the German lines. As Russian arms recover the farmlands, seeds become more and more the acute need. The Germans did not merely remove every bit of seed they had time to take; they pa iusta kingly destroyed any seed left, as well as farm buildings by the hundreds of thousands. Returning Russian farmers in many places have lived in trenches and caves under ruins. Stories of the advance on Kharkov told of Russians moving through fields of grain which the Germans had no time to destroy. To Russian agri culturalists that battle sidelight is the long-awaited sign of better days. 14 Broadcasters Here To Aid War Loan Drive Fourteen representatives from the six local radio stations will comprise a Radio Committee to aid in raising the District’s quota of $94,000,000 for the Third War Loan campaign which opens September 9, it was announced yesterday by John A. Reilly, chairman of the District War Finance Committee. The representatives and their sta tions are Elinor Lee, Bailey Axton and Howard Stanley of WTOP; Carleton D. Smith and Fred Shawn of WRC: Kenneth H. Berkeley and Bryson Rash of WMAL; William Dolph and Charles Zurhorst of WOL; Bennett Larson and Norman Lee of WWDC, and Lawrence Heller, Sam Lauder and Jerry Strong of WINX. Many other programs by each sta tion as well as a ’round-the-clock broadcast of special events on the opening day, are being planned. Listeners will hear again and again throughout the campaign the slo gan of the Third War Loan drive, "Back the Attack With Extra Bonds.” Other slogans to be heard are "Every One a Bond Buyer and Bond Seller” and “Buy an Extra $100 Bond in September.” In addition to aiding in the local drive, it is felt that radio will also help in raising the *15,000,000,000 which is the national quota, through its daily contact with millions of persons. Rubber may be synthetic, but the will to victory must be genuine. Have you bought any War savings stamps today? Nurse Held for Inquiry Into Roommate's Death An autopsy this afternoon will de termine whether police will pursue their investigation of the circum stances surrounding the death of 23-year-old Vivian L. Spivey yes terday in an F street hotel. Pending the results of the autopsy. Miss Spivey’s roommate, Mrs. Mar tha Collins, is being held at the Women’s Bureau. Mrs. Collins, who told police she is a registered nurse, is employed at St. Elizabeth’s Hos pital. Miss Spivey, whose home is in Waverly, Va., was found dead in a fifth-floor room of the Grand Hotel, 606 F street N.W., by a Casualty Hospital physician who had been called by the proprietor to attend the young woman and Mrs. Collins. Mrs. Perouz Manoukian, proprie tor of the hotel, told police Mrs. Collins and Miss Spivey registered at the hotel Wednesday as "Martha Collins and sister.” Mrs. Collins told her, Mrs. Manoukian said, that her "sister” was ill and that she was taking care of her. When Mrs. Collins collapsed yes terday morning at the hotel desk, Mrs. Manoukian said she decided to call help because she didn't think the two women should be without medical attention. Police said Mrs. Collins told them she had been giving Miss Spivey insulin to stimulate her appetite. She described herself as a friend of the dead woman and not a rel ative. OPA Plans to Reduce Gasoline Allotments To 'B' and X' Autoists By NORMAN KAIIL. A Nationwide program to tighten up the issuance of gasoline allot ments by local rationing boards to holders of B and C books has been mapped by the Office of Price Ad ministration, it was learned last night. OPA representatives will be sent to virtually every local board in the country to “advise and consult” with board members on issuing sup plemental rations. Their principal job. it was understood, will be to reduce drastically the total amount of gasoline that is being allocated to motorists. Excessive liberality on the part of many boards, an OPA official ad mitted yesterday, is primarily re sponsible for the fact that alloca tions of supplies in the East and Middle West are being overdrawn. Black market activities, this official said, present a serious threat to the success of the rationing program, but actually represent a mere "drop in the bucket” in the overall supply picture. May Lift Pleasure Ban. Disclosure of the drive against over-issuance of rations was re garded as a further indication that OPA officials have definitely de cided to remove pleasure-driving restrictions either Wednesday, as previously planned, or shortly after Labor Day. It was recalled that a similar campaign against over issuance, less intense than the one planned for next month, was in stituted by OPA directly after the pleasure-driving ban ended last spring. “Pleasure driving restrictions,” another OPA spokesman said, “aren't the best way of saving gaso line. We can conserve more effec tively by making certain that driv ers aren’t getting more gasoline than they really need for essential purposes.” It was made clear that the OPA does not intend to interfere with the operations of the local board, but Instead wants to give them help in carrying out the tightening-up process. Answer to Challenge. The new campaign is expected to be OPA’s answer to repeated de mands by the Petroleum Adminis tration that consumption in excess of allocations be ended. OPA of ficials hope that by reducing over issuance of gasoline rations they can more than make up the addi tional drain on the supply that would result from the end of the pleasure-driving ban. The granting of too many cou pons by local boards ties in di rectly with the black market, it was pointed out. Drivers who are given excessive rations are inclined to pass them Bn to friends in vio lation of the regulations. Occa sionally, the coupons may be sold, either to other drivers or to filling stations. OPA enforcement officials, mean while, are Intensifying their efforts to keep black markets from wreck ing the rationing program. They say their activities against black marketeers are greater now than ever before, but that this does not necessarily imply the offenses are greater. More Prosecutions Now. "We'/e more experienced, now in combating this «vil than we"‘ were in the early days,” one spokesman said. “As a result there are more prosecutions but not necessarily more black markets.” The major share of the black market coupons is that which has been stolen from the boards. The illicit coupons are sold either to the drivers themselves or to fill ing stations. If the individual mo torist purchases the coupons he may pay anywhere from 10 to 25 cents for each coupon. A gasoline dealer who buys the books in quan tity may charge his customers from 5 to 10 cents a gallon more for the gasoline he sells them without tak ing coupons. One of the most alarming features of the racket, said an OPA official, is the extent to which youngsters of from 15 to 17 years are be coming involved. Federal Bar Will Honor Circuit Judges Sept. 28 Members of the Federal judiciary attending the annual Conference of Senior Circuit Judges next month will be honored by the Federal Bar Association at tire Willard Hotel, it was announced yesterday.

OPA F|,nds and Seals Loophole Permitting Liquor Price Boost Discovering that legal price boosts were possible under the new liquor price structure which becomes effective tomorrow, the Office of Price Administration yesterday issued an amendment to the regulations to forestall such increases. Regional OPA offices had been given authority to reduce percent age markups granted retail liquor dealers under the new distilled spirits and wine maximum price regula tion. OPA has said the new order should result in an "average lower ing” of prices. The amendment, however, was is sued hastily to plug a previously unsuspected hole in the new regu lation, which would have permitted legal price boosts in many States where competition had held prices below the markup authorized In the original regulation. Under the order as first drawn, the retailer’s markup for distilled spirits is 33t3 per cent above net cost. Maximum prices were set at 50 per cent over net cost, and cordials, liqueuers and specialties markups were fixed at 45 per cent. It was discovered that the order would make legal price Increases possible in some areas where liquor dealers had been operating success fully with smaller margins. Yesterday’s amendment provides that "regional OPA offices shall consider the margins prevailing in the State involved in March, 1943.” After considering the prevailing marginsj the offices may order re duction of the permissible markup. The amendment is expected to have little effect in States which have a monopoly on sales of spir its and wines. State stores oper ate without competition, under price scales fixed in accord with State laws and OPA maximum price schedules. Stocks available to liquor retail ers are reported “tight,” with de mand increasing, so it was gener ally believed in OPA that retailers in affected areas would have taken advantage of the loophole In the original order to raise prices to the maximum permitted, had not yesterday's amendment been drawn. 9 OCD Unit Officials To Head Committees The heads of nine agencies con nected with nonprotective phases of civilian defense work yesterday were appointed by the Commission ers as unit chairmen of the recently created Civilian War Services Divi sion. At the request of Harry P. Somer ville, executive officer of the division, the Commissioners named the fol lowing chairmen: Floyd D. Akers, War Hospitality and Recreation Committee; John Reilly, War Finance Committee; James E. Colliflower, Salvage Com mittee; Mr. Reilly, Housing Commit tee; Granville Gude, Victory Gar den Committee; William A. Van Duzer, Transportation Committee i for share-car programs); Mrs. Henry P.

WPB Authorizes Loans On Printing Plate Quotas By the Associated Press. Printers and publishers were au thorized yesterday to borrow against next quarter's quotas of copper and zinc for printing plates in a revi sion of the War Production Board's orders covering printing plate metals. Futures borrowing was limited to 15 per cent of the quarter's 1941 quarterly usage. Any unused quotas from a previous quarter also may be utilized. Copper and zinc used in plates for work ordered by any agency of the Federal Government were exempted from quota calculations in the re vised order.

A “door knocker” army of 1,000,000 women is mobilized for action in the $15,000,000,000 Third War Loan drive which opens September 9. Miss Harriet Elliott, associate field director of the Treasury’s War Finance Division, said last night the volunteer army, made up of professional women, fac tory workers and housewives, will canvass every home, fac tory and office building in the country. tected” by a battery of anti-aircraft guns, a War Department press re lease said. Spectators at the “Back the At tack" show to be held in connection with the third War Loan drive may wonder how the balloon keeps enemy planes high enough to prevent ac curate bombing. “The foolhardy pilot who makes the mistake of tangling with one of these seemingly harmless blimps meets a sudden and fatal end," the War Department’s release pointed out. "A fast-flying attack ship can cut itself to pieces on the steel cables which anchor the balloon to the ground. And a special release frees the cable, allowing it to wrap about its victim and bring it to the ground in a matter of seconds.” There Is no real need for barrage balloons hovering over the Nation's Capital, "but we do need them ‘over there' and it is bond-buying Amer icans who can furnish those bal loons when and where they are needed,” the press release empha sized. The exhibit grounds yesterday continued to teem with activity. Steel rails for a display of military raiiway equipment, including a 30 ton locomotive, were laid; elec tricians and linemen began install ing lights which will flood the grounds at night; five tents ★ere put up to house various exhibits; sand in the 300-foot arena was being packed; flagpoles for the display of the American and United Nations flags were being installed, and the red. white and blue painting of the central stage and pylons was being completed. Green canvas was placed over stockade poles, thus hiding the as sembly ground in the rear of the stage from public view. The quartermaster exhibit will show every type of uniform worn by men and women of the United States Army.

Italian Railway Lines Almost Paralyzed By Bomb Damage By ’he Associated Press. ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, Aug. 28.—The steady Allied air scourging ol Southern Italy’s railways has vir tually paralyzed train traffic from the Naples area to the toe and heel of the peninsula, air force officers declared today, with fresh wreckage strewn yes terday near Naples and by Flying Fortresses at Sulmona, 100 miles east of Rome. Some trains are moving, but with great difficulty and many de lays since main line tracks have been knocked out in countless places, switching stations and other rail buildings demolished, and yards filled with gaping craters, Allied headquarters said. Wrecked locomotives and passen ger and freight cars and in some j cases remains of entire trains block the tracks at many points, especially at Benevento, junction near Naples where damaged freight cars bar the way to the yards. Freight Yards Blasted. Other points hard hit ‘by re lentless American day bombing and British night hammering in elude Naples, Villa Literna, Sapri, Taranto and Foggia. Freight yards at Benevento were straddled by bombs from United States B-25 Mitchells in renewed attacks yesterday, and Flying Fort resses in a heavy assault blasted j the lines at Sulmona near the east I coast for the first time. B-26 Ma rauders hammered Caserta near Naples, medium and fighter-bomb ers spread ruin wide over Southern Italy, and RAF heavy Wellingtons followed up last night with block busters on the freight yards at Salerno, south of Naples. Twenty German and Italian fight ers were downed as the enemy put up stiffening resistance, and nine Allied planes were lost yesterday. Aerial reconnaissance showed that the line of extremely heavy destruc tion extends across Italy from the Gulf of Naples to the Gulf of Man fredonia, and that rail traffic in all the area south of this line is prac tically at a standstill. Troop Movements Slowed. Spurs probably have been con structed around some main line points where tracks were blown out, enabling trains to pass, but greatly slowing traffic, At other points, no attempts have yet been made to re open the lines. The rail paralysis undoubtedly has made movements of troops and mili tary supplies a difficult problem for the Axis, endangering defense of all Southern Italy. Southern Italy's rail system con sists of main lines all along the coast with an important east-west route from Naples to the Adriatic coast via Benevento and Foggia. There are north and south inland lines and many sidelines running through Italy's innumerable valleys. Scarcely any of them has escaped Allied bombs, but the main junc tion points have been the chief targets. The onslaught on rail lines be gan August 15 as Allied land forces were closing in on Messina, making few targets for the Air Force in Sicily. It has been vigorously pur sued nearly every day since then, and represents the most concen trated destruction of railways since the start of the war. Biggest Attack So Far. Yesterday's program was the big gest so far in the number of freight yards hit, and put the Northwest Africa Tactical Air Force planes out in their heaviest attacks since Sicily fell. These Tactical Force flights sent four formations of Mitchells and Bostons against the rail and road hub of Catanzaro, Bostons to bomb Axis gun positions at Reggio Cala bria across from Messina, and A-36 Invaders to destroy a rail junction at Sibari and rake the west coast ports of Paola and Cetraro. The Mitchells laid bombs on the locomotive works at Benevento be sides tearing up the rail lines, and these flights, meeting the heaviest opposition, shot down 16 of the day s bag of enemy planes. One formation alone tallied 13 of the attackers. One Fortress crewman said the heavy American bombers "did a swell job of smashing” targets at Sulmona, and Wellington crews re 1 ported "excellent concentration” of bombs at Salerno. . D. C.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 28.—Sweden handed Germany a stiff protest to day as the result of the sinking of two Swedish fishing vessels by Ger man naval forces. The protest, presented by the Swedish charge d'affaires at Berlin, j termed the sinkings a “serious inci dent” and demanded to know what I measures Germany would take to prevent a repetition of the attacks. The Swedish protest recalled pre vious German attacks on Swedish j shipping in international waters and said the latest "serious inci i dent” had deeply agitated public opinion in Sweden, The two Swedish boats were sunk late Wednesday night by three Ger man minesweepers off the north west tip of Denmark. Twelve fish ermen are believed to have drowned. Two other boats escaped. Contested German View. A foreign office statement an i nouncing the protest said in part: “The fact was recalled that in con nection with earlier cases when Swedish fishing boats in these wa j ters were fired at by German ships. I the Swedish government had ex pressly made reservations against a proclamation of blockade in these zones in international waters and that the government refused to recognize the German view that German forces within certain areas in internation waters were entitled to fire without previous warning on Swedish fishermen In addition to demanding to know what measures Germany would take to prevent a repetition of the at tack. the Swedish noie said the government reserved the right to claim damages for the lives and property lost. The fishing boat incident was-the first to occur since neutral Sw-eden took a bold course earlier this month, and banned the shipment of German war material and troops across her territory to Axis-held Norway. The Germans had held this privilege for three years be fore Sweden stopped it. swedes Lost Sub. The sinking of the fishing craft is the latest in a series of war in cidents involving Sweden and Ger many. These included the sinking by a German mine of the Swedish submarine Ulven last April 16 with the loss of 33 men. and attacks in side Swedish territorial waters by Nazi gunners on a Swedish sub marine, a torpedo boat and an air plane. The protest came as there was speculation here on whether a miss ing Swedish civilian airplane, over due, on a flight to Stockholm from Scotland, might have been the vic tim of a German fighter patrol plane off the coast of Norway. While the Swedish Foreign Office emphasized there was no informa tion yet as to the fate of the plane, Swedes recalled German airmen previously had pursued and fired on passenger planes.

The dispatch also reported that Andre Francois-Poncet, former French Ambassador to Berlin and later to Rome before the war, also was arrested in a similar manner at La Tronche, near Grenoble, where he had lived with his family since 1941. Both arrests occurred yes terday. Declaring that M. Lebrun was not given a chance to say farewell, but "in effect" was kidnaped, the dis patch gave this account of his ar rest at Vizille: A powerful automobile drove up to the home, and four members of the Gestapo got out. When they reappeared a few minutes later they had M. Lebrun with them and one of the men was carrying a machine gun in his hands. M. Lebrun was forced to' take a place in the car, and it was be lieved the automobile was driven to Lyon. Lebrun had been living with his son-in-law since 1940.

The death of Boris, who kept a steel hand on Bulgarian internal affairs and made the country a Ger man vassal State, leaves Hitler fighting to retain his grip through the pro-German Philov. Boris reportedly told Philov that the Bulgarians might revolt, and rebuked the Prime Minister for his pro-German leanings. Boris was in some respects more clever than Hitler in that he went to war with Britain but not with Russia, remembered bv Bulgarians as their long-time friend. Caught between Hitler's insistence j on active war against Russia and fear that the Allies might roll through the Balkans, Boris was said to have been ready to relax co operation with the Nazis when he was taken ill after a word clash with Hitler. A Foreign Office official In Lon don said he was inclined to doubt the reports of attempted assassina tion because Hitler had nothing to gain by it. This might indicate some Allied hope of overthrowing Nazi influence in Bulgaria. Deny Assassination Rumors. The Bulgarian news agency, said a German broadcast of a Sofia dis patch, issued a categorical denial “of those rumors spread outside Bul garia by certain newspapers and agencies which assert that the ill ness of his majesty had external causes. These rumors are utterly grotesque and fantastic.” This denial purportedly was signed by Philov and nine other govern ment secretaries. If the Germans should fail to gain control of Bulgaria during this cri sis, it might mean the opening of a back route to Hitler's domain sim ilar to the breaking in upon the Kaiser during World War I. The Nazis therefore are expected to wage a desperate battle. German newspapers emphasized that King Boris died a faithful “friend of Germany,” the service said. a Germans Praise Boris.” DNB.

Dr. Keefer, acting In behalf of the Committee of Medical Research, explained that the War Production Board allocated all penicillin and regarded its development as a sig nificant part of the war effort. The introduction of penicillin to the medical profession. Dr. Keefer said, was so recent that much re mained to be learned about its use, and that because it was in the ex perimental stage, civilian use would be for investigatory purposes only. Because of its limited supply, many requests by civilians would in evitably have to be refused, Dr. Keefer added. I

Sergt. Warmer Gels DSC for Downing Seven Nazi Planes By thf Associated Press. ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA. Aug. 28—Staff Sergt. Benjamin F. Warmer has been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for the unprecedented feat of shooting down seven Axis planes on a single Flying Fortress mission over Gerbini, Sicily, on July 8. 'Staff Sergt. Warmer, son of Superior Court Judge Benjamin F. Warmer, of San Bernardino, Calif., was a member of the uni formed force of the Secret Serv ice assigned to the Treasury De partment in Washington for three months in 1940.' The D. S. C. was pinned on the eix-foot, six-inch. 275-pound gunner by Lt. Gen. Carl A. Spaatz. com mander of the Northwest African Air Force, at an advanced fortress base Thursday, which was both Sergt Warmer's 29th birthday and his seventh wedding anniversary. Sergt. Warmer's feat is an all time Fortress record and was set in a record raid in which Flying For tresses knocked down 42 out of 100 enemy fighters which attacked them Sergt. Warmer's plane accounted for 13. Maj. James H. Doolittle also at tended the ceremony, but Sergt. Warmer’s mates were absent. They were off on a bombing mission. Gen. Spaatz made the presenta tion with words of praise for the marksmanship of the gangling Cali fornia University graduate, who was paid $25 for making a para chute jump at a county fair and later became a real member of the Caterpillar Club when he was com pelled to bail out of a Fortress which ran out of gas In pitch dark ness over Algeria. The citation hailed Sergt. War mer “for extraordinary heroism while participating in aerial com bat over Gerbini airdrome. "He shot down an ME-109 in flames as a formation of 30 fight ers attacked his element. A few minutes later he destroyed two more. ME-109s, forcing the pilots to bail out. Again two more at tacked. One of these exploded by the accurate fire of Sergt. War mer's gun. Tile other went down in flames. “Replenishing his ammunition. Sergt. Warmer shot down a sixth fighter. Then, as five more ME-109s attacked, he destroyed his seventh. "The extraordinary heroism and auper-marksmanship reflect great credit upon Sergt. Warmer and the Air Corps of the United States Army.” D. C. Draft (Continued From First Page.1* been given no instructions to defer men in “locally needed activities’’ i such as hotels, restaurants, laun dries, fuel distribution and other service industries. The spokesman said that the boards were being guided by the critical list, the es sential activities list and the non- deferrable list on occupational ques- j lions. He said no instructions had come irom national headquarters about deferring, men in locally; needed activities. The District is known to have a high average of .registrants rejected at induction stations. The national average is about 25 pier cent, the 1 District average about 30 p>er cent. Figures Offered. District headquarters gave these figures to show why fathers will have to be drafted here in Novem- j ber: Of the 175.000 draft-eligible regis- trants. approximately 110.000 have j either been Inducted into the armed forces, are awaiting induction now j to fill calls this month and next j month, have already been rejected or are in such minor classifications as ministers, conscientious objectors or others deferred by law. About 55.000 men are still in 3-A. j For the most part these are fathers. A comparatively few are doubtful cases, or have not yet been classi- 1 fied out of the class reserved for i prewar fathers. Occupational deferments account for most of the rest of the regis trants. since headquarters said that these amounted to about 5 per cent. "Nominal October Call. Although the announced national readjustment of calls appeared to bring the draft closer for fathers In States which thought they had enough men to hold out until No vember without calling fathers, Dis- trict headquarters spokesmen said they had received their October call and would have enough non fathers to fill it. This will mean that some Dis- trict boards will have only a nominal j call in October—just enough to take in the men coming off replacement schedules, those whose appeals have been rejected, youths becoming 18 and those whose stays of Induction I have expired. Boards, which still have a pool of childless married men. will get the lion's share of the i call in October as that all boards can start calling fathers at the same time. The boards are now going through their files to locate fathers whose jobs fall on the non-deferable list. Some boards are sending out let ters notifying these fathers that they must change jobs by Septem ber 1 or become available for in duction. Some boards are notify ing non-deferrablc fathers to re port for their preliminary physical examinations now with the idea that they will be ready for induc tion as soon as the 30-da.v period allowed them to change jobs has expired. 1,000th Fairlington Apartment Rented by Family of Three MILESTONE FOR FAIRLINGTON—Mr and Mrs D.

About 80 units are being completed each week and tenants, who have selected their apartments in the construction stage, are mov ing in as rapidly as workmen add the finishing touches.

Tire MacDonalds, who spent sev eral weeks house hunting before they hit on Fairlington as the solu tion to their problem, appeared yes terday to be well satisfied with their new home. Mrs. MacDonald already has found a nearby hospital where she can serve as a nurse's aide, and Janet, a Senior Service Scout, has located a troop in the vicinity. Residence at Fairlington is re stricted to in-migrant war workers and their families—those who have come to the Washington area since July 1, 1941. Mr. MacDonald, a former professor in Montana State College, gualified because he arrived here last July 21 to work as a spe cialist in vocational agricultural education for the Office of Educa tion. The family applied for an apartment on August 12, and be cause Mr. MacDonald held a “V” referral card from the War Hous ing Center certifying his eligibility for war housing, was notified the same day that the application w'ould be.,a«sepied.

Big Firms Will Win i Renegotiation Act's Repeal, Fulmer Says By th* Associated Press. Chairman Fulmer of the House Agriculture Committee said last night that big war contractors were busily propagandizing for repeal of the War Profits Renegotiation Act. "to get away with untold profits,” and predicted they would succeed. The South Carolinian, who fre i quentlv expresses the views of the i congressional farm bloc, spoke over j the Blue network, deploring what he termed the unfair treatment of agriculture. The only safeguard the Gov ernment has in connection with ■pluc profit' contracts is the renego tiation provision passed by the Con gress,” he said. "Those who operate under Gov ernment contracts, especially the large monopolistic groups, are now flooding Congressmen and the coun tin’ with tons and tons of propa ganda-ill the press, magazines and by mail—urging repeal of the re negotiation provision, having in mind being in a position to get away with untold profits. Hearings to Be Held. ‘"Because of the influence of these groups, with the assistance of im portant. departments which seem to be under the control of these large j groups, regardless of the unfairness of the request. X predict they will procure sufficient votes in Congress to repeal this one safeguard in be half of the taxpayers of the coun try. The House Ways and Means Com- mittee will begin hearings Septem ber 9 on proposals for revision of the renegotiation statute. Representative Fulmer proposing fixing of prices on agricultural prod- j ucts to assure farmers fair re turns. declaring ‘T can assure you you are not going to be able to keep them marching, rolling or flying' unless you can keep them eating.” He deplored what he termed the large profits of “middlemen.” His committee soon will begin an in vestigation of dealers in agricultu- ral commodities between the farm er and consumer. High fruit Prices Assailed. “Today our farmers, including dairymen, poultrymen and cattle and hog producers, are being backed up against a wall, and they cannot properly proceed, even based on pa triotism, unless their serious prob lems are given prompt and favorable consideration, including definite, fair, fixed prices, with assurances in line with war contractors and war industries against crop losses and unfair prices during and fol lowing the end of this war,” Mr. Fulmer said. He said housewives now were be ing "robbed, with unfair, unreason able, high prices on fruits and veg etables,” adding: "I priced peaches within one block of the Capitol today. They were 27 cents per pound. $13.50 per bushel. I tried to sell sweet potatoes this week' from my farm. I was offered $3 to $4 per bushel. Sweet potatoes are selling here in Washington at 12 }o 15 cents, per pound—$7.50 to $9 per bushel.” La Plata Farmer Cited i For War Food Effort Kostka Simpson of La Plata was one of 44 farmers in the Maine- j through-Maryland area cited by the Farm Security Administration yes- terday. “for outstanding work in wartime food production.” The citation said that the farmers cited had made "great sacrifices in increasing production." Mr. Simpson has two sons in the Army. William. 20. who is with the Army Air Forces in the South Pacific, and Raymond, 22. who is stationed in Ohio. Production on Mr. Simpson's farm has been increased despite the short age of help, the FSA said. He has a large garden, raised extra hogs, planted more potatoes than ever be fore, and has raised turkeys, ducks and chickens for market. Mrs. Simpson has contributed to the wanning of the citation by doing a large amount of canning. BUY WAR SAVINGS BONDS AND STAMPS STORE HOURS: 9.SO TO 6—THURSDAY 12 NOON TO 9 PM.

For support he quoted from the June, 1943, report of the subcom- i mittee on public health, hospitals and charity of the House District Committee, which said this was! needed to permit “much better con-! trol with an enlarged, adequate per- 1 sonnel.'’ More Food Inspectors Needed. Ten additional inspectors, an as sistant director, four clerks and four junior inspectors are asked for en largement of the food inspection service, to strengthen the depart ment's attack on insanitation. Again the Public Health Service report was quoted for support. An expansion of the campaign on rats also is planned under a re quest for 16 more laborers and two foremen and a new truck for the rodent control division. Also in connection with recent efforts to improve insanitary spots in the District. Dr. Ruhland seeks a special fund of $20,000 with which to provide water and sewer connec tions for dwellings of the poor. There are 40 cases, with the cost of connections estimated at about $500 each. Owners might be prosecuted and fined for failing to make the connections themselves, but this would not cure the insanitary con ditions. he argued. Employment of high school grad uates as trainee technicians for the Health Department laboratory is proposed as a means of meeting the larck of experts. Funds are sought for employing four at $1,440 a year. 10 More Workers Sought. For the venereal disease service 10 additional employes are request ed. and the director would be placed on full time instead of half time. For the tuberculosis control program two additional physicians are re quested. largely due to the opening of a Northwest Health Center in the Henry-Polk Schools. Twenty-two additional employes are requested for the maternal and child health service, including five physicians at *3.800 a year each and 12 junior clinic aides, to strengthen the staffs at the 16 maternal and child clinics. Twelve more junior clinic aides are to be sought for 1946. Among increases sought for the Hospital Permit Bureau are funds for four medical social workers. In support of this proposal, Dr. Ruh land asserted that the bureau in the calendar year 1942 had saved the District $400,000 over and above the bureau's coat, by refusal of free treatment for 3,687 applicants for hospital care and 1.801 appli cants for out-patient service. For the Glenn Dale Sanatorium, the health officer seeks *1,085504, an increase of about *250,000 over this year. This would provide lor more than a score of additional workers and improvements to build ings and grounds. Funds Sought for Pay Boosts. For Oallinger Municipal Hospital and the Tuberculosis Hospital for Convalescents at Fourteenth and Upshur streets N.W.. the depart ment requests *1,975.082. an In crease of more than *400.000. All of the increase except about *22, 000 is for overtime pay, sgiary pro motions. reallocations and the transfer to District charges of serv ices now paid by Federal grants. The latter include the rapid treat ment center for venereal disease for which new buildings are pro vided at Gallinger. An item of *6.000 is requested for a photo flurographic unit for Gal llnger so that each patient admit ted may" be given a chest test for tuberculosis. By such case find ing work, it was argued, student nurses and physicians would be less likely to contract the disease. The sum requested for medical charities remains unchanged, ex cept that Dr. Ruhland proposes no contribution for Columbia Hospital since no arrangements are made for care of District Government patients there. Rubber may be synthetic, but the will to victory must be genuine. Have you bought any War savings stamps today? KNABE PIANOS Erefette, Wurlitser. Lifter.

D. C. Soldier Honored After 19 Months of Pacific Air Battles Corpl. John B. Logan, 3632 War ren street N.W., yesterday received the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service with a heavy bombard ment group of 36 officers and men who fought in the Pacific for IS months with no lass of equip ment or person nel. News of the award, which was made yes terday in a mass decoration of the squadron in San Francisco, was "almost too much" for his forpi. l.ocan. mother. Mrs. El len C. Logan. It came last night just 15 minutes after she had re ceeived a telegram from John, her only son. telling her that he was back in the United States and is coming home. "I'm just overcome—I don't know' what to say.” was her reaction. "I thought he was still in the Pacific until I got a telegram from him just a few minutes ago." “His mother's right here waiting for him." she added. "I can’t wait for him to get here.” ‘All She Has in World.’ John—Corpl. Logan—is all she has in the world, Mrs. Logan ex plained. Corpl. Logan. 26, is a native of Washington. He attended St. John’s School here and the Bliss Electrical School in Takoma Park. Md. Before he entered the service in February, 1942, and went to Camp Lee and then to Kessler Field. Miss., to train, he worked for the Western Electric Co. here. At the time he left Washington for the Army, Corpl. Logan lived with his mother at 36.19 Quesada street N.W. His late father was an administrative consultant with the Veteran's Administration. Of his skirmishes with the Japs. John has told her nothing in his letters home. Mrs. Logan said. The Associated Press report from San Francisco yesterday, however, disclosed that the Flying Fortress squadron of which Corpl. Logan has been a member has flown from 60 to 100 combat missions. Midway. Wake and Solomons. Oldest Flying Fortress squadron In the Army Air Forces in point of service in this war. the squadron was at Hickham Field. Hawaii, as a reconnaissance group when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. It has been in action since—at Midway, W’ake. the Marshall and Gilbert Islands and the Solomons. It participated in the first Ameri can bombing raid on Japanese-held Wake Island in June of 1942, and was the first squadron to use 2.000 pound bombs on Japanese installa tions in the Solomons. Though Fortresses of the squad ron have been damaged many times, there have been no injuries to personnel. After one raid on Makin, in the Gilbert Islands, the plane of Maj. McLyle Zumwalt. 25 year-old leader of the squadron from Richmond. Tex., limped its way back to the home base on two left motors and flying at 400 feet. Gonzaga Star Honored. In the decoration ceremony yes terday, Maj. Zumwalt, a former| Gonzaga University football player, I received two oak leaf clusters to go with his distinguished flying cross 1 and air medal. In all. 26 distinguished flving 1 crosses, six air medals, 11 leaf clus- j tors in lieu of additional air medals and one cluster in lieu of an addi tional flying cross were awarded by Lt. Gen. Millard E. Harmon, com- manding general of the United States Army Air Forces in the South Pacific area. Eight of the group re- j ceived two awards each. Maj. Zumwalt credited a lot of his squadron's good fortune to ex- j perience, explaining—"We had an old. seasoned squadron; the officers all had at least six months' flying experience before the war and most, enlisted men a year to a year and a half.” Patterson Visits Fiji, Talks With Wounded By the Associated Press. Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson visited the Fiji Islands yesterday en route to Australia on his tour of the South Pacific. Mr. Patterson. Lt. Gen. William S. Knudsen, director of production, and other members of the party also visited two hospitals and talked with wounded soldiers, the War De partment reported. At- the hospitals, both staffed by Maryland men. Mr. Patterson met Col. G G. Finney of Baltimore, whose staff is composed of Johns Hopkins University personnel, and Lt. Col. Murray Copeland of Balti more, whose staff Is made up of University of Maryland personnel. Other officers with whom the un dersecretary and his party talked included Cols. A A. Adams of Co lumbus.

Nazi Chief in Norway Reported in Retirement By the Associated Press. LONDON, Aug. 28.—A Tass dis patch broadcast from Moscow to day said it was reported in Stock holm that Gen. Nikolaus von Fal kenhorst, German commander in Norway, had ceased to discharge his duties on the plea of ill health. "After a recent inspection tour of German garrisons in Northern Nor way acute differences arose be tween him and Terboven (Joseph Terboven, Hitler's commissioner in Norway 1 as to the fighting capacity of the troops.” said the broadcast recorded by the Soviet Monitor. "Falkenhorst may resign shortly.” Butter (Continued From First Page.! ing consumer prices. However, there are only 27 markets where Federal milk agreements make such oper ations practical. Another course would be to pass the increased seasonal milk prices on to the consumer, to be balanced by reductions in prices of other food items by paying subsidies on the latter. That would involve action by the Office of Price Administra tion. In Chicago, Owen Richards, gen eral manager of the American Dairy Association, declared the country was “in the midst of a butter crisis,” despite a record stockpile of 235.000, 000 pounds which he said was esti mated to be in cold storage or still in the hands of creameries. Of the total. Mr. Richards said, only about 12.000.000 pounds is avail able for civilian consumption. “Usually at this time of the year,” Mr. Richards asserted, “the civilian stockpile of butter is better than 150,000,000 pounds. But because of wartime conditions and Government set-asides we find ourselves with only a fraction of that amount. Record Supply in Storage. "Housewives are unable to buy butter. Meanwhile, record amounts of butter are in storage and three quarters of it is Government-owned. "No one will suggest that it be taken from our soldiers. But relief from Government set-asides for sev eral months during the season cl low butter production is needed now in order to protect the ration.ng system and to give the civilians their share of butter." Mr. Richards said more than 100 grocery stores in Chicago were without any butter, while in others sales had been restricted to '4 pound a customer. Minneapolis, St. Paul and Milwaukee, in the heart of the butter-producing region, he added, were feeling the shortage and the situation on the East and West Coasts is far worse than elsewhere. The association president said he believed the OPA might increase the coupon value of butter "several points” in order to provide more equitable distribution. WPB Ex-Employe Sends Diary To Byrd to Prove Money Waste By the Associated Press. A former S3,200-a-year employe of the War Production Board, who told the Byrd Senate Committee he couid have done all the w'ork as signed him in one day a week, sent that economy group a diary of his office life yesterday to back up his I statement. i Although he said he wras a gradu ate of Harvard Business School, em ployed to compile statistical reports, the day-by-day account of his ac tivities showed such entries as these: "July 21. Punched pages and put them into notebooks.’' “July 23. Made one trip to Stand ard Oil Building.” Committee attaches said every mail brings dozens of letters alleging wasteful Government spending along w'ith suggestions for saving money. The committee, in turn, seeks to get action by the appropriate Govern ment agencies on the suggestions it deems sound. A New Yorker telegraphed that the Navy could save $125,000 on an order for 500.000 dozen work shirts if specifications were changed to eliminate flaps on the pockets. A Wheeling <W. Va.l chinaware dealer advocated buying 10-ounce rather than 13-ounce coffee cups for the Army, contending it not only would save four cents apiece but would cut dowm wastage of coffee. The former WPB employe has been drafts! into the Army, and told the committee he was glad of it. I certainly have not been earning $3,200 a year,” he wrote. "I may have earned a messenger's salary or a file clerk's salary, but no more. I feel it would be more accurate to say that I did not hold a job, but merely oc cupied a chair and a desk.” He said a great deal of time was spent by his fellow* emplyes in per sonal conversations, long telephone calls and studying racing forms. A cry for relief came from the chairman of the defense council in a New Jersey town of 5,000 popula tion. “In addition to my duties as chair man,” he said, “I have to earn a dollar, and if it were possible to use the 24 hours in each day seven days a week.

I get the feeling that I would like to be manufacturing those carts at $500 per.” Alien Travel Falls Off To and From America By the Associated Press. Alien travel to and from the United States declined sharply in the last fiscal year. Earl G. Harrison, Commissioner1 of Immigration and Naturalization, reported yesterday that in the year ended June 30 entries of aliens totaled 104,842, the lowest in 80 years, while the number of aliens departing was the lowest on record. Out of the 104,842 aliens entering this country, only 23.725 came as immigrants, or with the intention of remaining permanently. Aliens leaving totaled 28,722, but only 5,107 of these went as emigrants, or with out intention of returning. Capitol Park Hotel Will Close Tuesday For Full Renovation Capitol Park Hotel, a landmark on the Union Station Plaza, will close its doors to civilian guests Tuesday, preparatory to undergoing a thor ough face-lifting for a new role in the service of the Nation's armed forces. After renovations, it will be reopened to accommodate service men and their wives and babies. The change will send some long term tenants house and apartment hunting, it was said at the hotel, including Wall Doxey, former Sena tor from Mississippi and sergeant at arms of the Senate; Perry B. House, RFC attorney, and the Na tional Association of Post Office Clerks, which, through its president, John Barrett, maintained several rooms at the hotel for the con venience of visiting members. The hotel contains 142 rooms and 100 baths but a spokesman for the Recreation Services, Inc., which w’ill have control of the building, said detailed arrangements have not been completed. It will be divided proportionately between enlisted men and officers, however, and will house Recreation Services offices now located at 306 Ninth street N.W. The building has been purchased outright by the Federal Works Agency and will not revert to its present owners at the termination of the war. Alterations are ex pected to take month. Tentative plans provide not only facilities for transient servicemen and personnel coming to Washing ton for duty, but also a temporary haven for their wives and children, a spokesman for Recreation Serv ices, Inc., said. When husbands and wives have only a few hours together it is planned to relieve them of the responsibility of “watching the baby.’’ There will be facilities for warm- ing babies' bottles, mixing formu- lae,and attending to other per sonal items. The Recreation Serv ices spokesman said one of the authorized child welfare agencies would supervise the care of babies and children.

Army Flyer Wounded In Bailout Fights Way Out of Jungle By VERN HAUGLAND, Associated Press Wsr Correspondent. SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA. Aug 28 (Delayed).—Legrand Knee skern of Kirkville, N. Y„ missing since July 31, won his battle with the .iungle single-handed in spite of Injuries and returned to base this week to discover he had been promoted to the rank of captain. Lt. Kneeskern bailed out of his P-38 fighter over the mountains of Central New Guinea after running cut of fuel. He wrote this account of his experience: "Evidently, I pulled the ripcord of my parachute too soon, for I receiv ed a terrific wrench to my back, violent enough to break the knife In my jungle kit in half. "Floating down I noticed blood dripping from my face. My scalp had been cut on my forehead and above the left ear. I must have hit the antenna in bailing out. Landed in Tree. "I landed in a tree. Cutting my Jungle kit loose from the ’chute, I shinnied down to the ground and dusted sulfanilamide powder over my wounds. Then I wrapped them in a gauze dressing. My back was pain ing me. so I injected a third of the morphine with which we are pro vided. I was so weak that after putting on gloves and head net I lay down and slept. "It rained from 2 to 4 a m. that night, as it did every night there after. I remained at the base of the tree all the nlxt day and night. To ease the pain I injected the re mainder of the morphine. On the third day, August 2, I was able to move to a nearby stream. Al though I last had eaten on the morning of July 31, it wasn't until the fifth day, August 4. that I got hungry. I ate what was left of my ’D’ ration—two-thirds of which had melted or washed away. Saw Crocodile*. "On two occasions I saw croco diles and several wild boar. I couldn't remove the gun from my shoulder holster because the leath er had shrunk. Even the matches In my waterproof container were wet. “When the parachute opened I lost one of my Australian flying boots. At first I put both socks on my shoeless foot, but they soon wore out. Then I cut off the top of my one boot with a razor blade and strapped it on the foot, but I lost it crossing a stream. Next I cut off part of my Mae West (life preserv er) and used it for a shoe. This wore out, too, so I cut off a sleeve of my jacket. It proved the most satisfactory shoe of all. Wins Promotion. "I followed the river downstream for five days, often having to climb up and down mountains. I nearly drowned crossing the swift cur rent on that fifth day of my jour ney. "On the sixth day I found a fresi grave with a large bunch of ba nanas beside it. I didn’t touch them because I thought the natives were nearby. But I didn’t find the natives for another five days. “August 10 I found eight natives on a fishing trip. None spoke Eng lish and my Papuan woodsheet (pid gin dictionary) was so wet it was unintelligible, so I just asked for kai-kai (food). "They brought me hot water and lemons, then took me to a village in their canoe. Later i was taken to two Australians, who fed me, dressed my wounds, gave me a hot shower and had my clothes washed. "The rest of my journey was made In comfort, with native guides es corting me from one plantation to another until I reached the Allied base It was on his arrival at base that Lt. Kneeskem found a message from the War Department notifying him of promotion. Lucas Says Lasting Peace Rests on Free Enterprise Private enterprise can succeed in furnishing jobs for 30 million per sons after this war "only to the ex tent the Government succeeds in establishing favorable conditions for business expansion at home and abroad,’’ Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Iillinois, asserted yesterday at the annual convention of the Illi nois Department of the American Legion, at Peoria. Senator Lucas said that "to lose our present social, or political or economic system would be to lose the war, no matter whose army lay crushed upon the field, "Free enterprise led to our inde pendence,’’ he continued. "It is the mechanism upon which we long have depended for our larger free dom. But strangely, there is much confusion on the subject of free en terprise. This is quite unfortunate, for private enterprise has one of the chief roles to play in assuring permanent peace. It should not be hampered by any misunderstanding of its proper function.” Tom Harmon Shoots Down Zero In Air Battle Near Hong Kong Grid Star Credited With One of Five Bagged by Formation By the Associated Press. HEADQUARTERS OP THE 14th UNITED STATES AIR FORCE IN CHINA. Aug. 27 (Delayed).—The 1 competitive SDirit and lightning co ordination that served Lt. Tom Harmon so well on the gridiron I stood with him in a grimmer game yesterday when he shot down a Jap Zero in an aerial battle near Hong Kong. Just as In his football days, this latest accomplishment was part of a team victory. Following a raid on the dock area and shipping at Hong Kong, the formation in which the former all America football player was fly ing was intercepted by a swarm of Zeros 25 miles west of the former British crown colony. When the shooting was over the Americans definitely had brought down five fighters, and Lt. Harmon was credited with one of them. Five more enemy fighters were shot down at the Tien Ho airdrome near Canton by another American for mation. All the United States planes returned safely. The Army's announcement of the raids was the first word that the halfback, who was one of the Uni versity of Michigan's greatest foot ball players, was in combat in the China theater. Completely recovered from the plane crash in the French Guiana 1 TOM HARMON. —Wide World Photo. jungles of South America last April 8, Harmon last was reported in North Africa on May 31 for duty as a Lightning fighter pilot. After the jungle crash, he clawed his way through swamps and over hills for four days before he met natives who guided him to a set tlement. That plane. Old 98. was named for the numerals he bore on his jersey during his football days. Two of his companions were killed in that crash and three others never were found. CIO Members Dissent To WLB Ruling on Mine Portal Pay By ths Associated Press. Coal miners are entitled to pay ment for travel time underground, CIO members of the War Labor Board asserted yesterday in an opinion dissenting from a recent decision by the board on the por tal-to-portal issue. An agreement between the United Mine Workers and the Illinois Coal Operators Association was disap proved by the board on the grounds that it did not constitute a “gen uine settlement of alleged claims arising under the Fair Labor Stand ards Act.” The agreement provided $1.25 a day for underground travel. The dissenting regular and al ternate CIO members of the board —Van A. Bittner, John Brophy, Carl J. Shipley and Delmond Garst —gave these reasons for their opin- ion that miners are entitled to pay for underground travel: 1. The administrative ruling on the Fair Labor Standards Act, con- j firmed by the Circuit Court of Ap- j peals for the fifth circuit, stated that travel time underground in mines other than coal mines should be considered as working time for the purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act. "Certainly, there's no distinction between coal mining and other mining.” 2. The War Labor Board has ap proved time and one-half for all work in excess of seven hours in any day for coal miners in the Illi nois contract. This ruling was made independent of the Fair Labor Standards Act provisions providing for time and a half for work over 40 hours in any week, and therefore the War Labor Board “has relied upon the provisions of previous con tracts to determine the basis for the payment of overtime.” 2. Since the outstanding contracts in the coal industry provide for time and one-half in excess of seven hours in any one day and since travel time underground is working time, “we are of the opinion that this board should direct, and if the parties so agree this board should approve, the payment to the coal miners for their time sp^nt under ground on the basis of premium pay of time and one-half in excess of seven hours in any one day.” Ann Sheridan Collapses In Hour-Glass Corset By the Associated Press.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, Aug. 28.—A large number of Italians are giving blood for wounded Allied soldiers. All are volunteers and receive the usual price of *10 for a pint of blood. So far such blood has been used only by the British medical serv ices. The American medical units receive blood here from noncom batant troops, convalescent and slightly wounded soldiers and other volunteers. "Live blood,’’ as distinguished from powdered blood or plasma, is required in many of the more se rious cases of wounds but because of the difficulty in preserving it un der wartime conditions it is usually obtained from persons not too far distant and kept in bottles until used. Plasma Is Preserved. Plasma, however, is easily pre served and most of the plasma used here comes from America and Eng land. Its use in the Sicilian cam-' paign -was more extensive than ever before in this theater. Both the bottled blood and plas ma are given to patients, not only because of loss of blood, but as treatment for shock and-to fortify them for operations. “Medical troops in Sicily could not have functioned without blood plasma.” said Col. Edward D. Churchill of Boston, of the Medical Corps. Maj. William W. Brothers of Po catello, Idaho, said almost 100 men wounded and cut off by the enemy on a hill outside San Fratello were sustained by plasma for two dayf. Supplies Cut Off. Maj. Brothers related that Maj. Henry Robert Ransom of Minneapo lis. regimental surgeon, decided to turn the emergency aid station there into a hospital where plasma could be administered. "Narrow trails through rough ter rain and continued shelling made it impossible to move the ambu lances or other equipment,” Maj. Brothers said. “Capt. Ernest Alva Gould of Washington, D. C., or ganized a pack train of mules to carry plasma, sulfa drugs and dress ings to the stranded aid station.” At the other end of the line, Lt. Ernest C.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, Aug. 28.—For the second time Japanese troops have quit fight ing and run away—this time from Bairoko Harbor on New Georgia Island in the Central Solomons. But unlike their sneak from Kiska through the cold fog of the Aleu tians, their second evacuation cost them hundreds of soldiers. The liquidation of the last enemy garrison on New Georgia last Thurs day was announced tersely in to day's communique from Gfcn. Doug las MacArthur. Details were sup plied by officers of the South Pacific Naval Forces. American troops have been closing in on Bairoko since they captured the Munda airdrome, 10 miles to the south, on August 5. TJie only resistance at the end came from a few Japanese stragglers. The others had fled or lost their lives in an attempt to reach Vila on Kolorn bangara Island across the narrow Kulf Gulf. Many Japs Killed. Hundreds of the Japanese were killed when torpedo boats sank their heavily loaded barges in Kula Gulf, said a spokesman at the South Pa cific headquarters of Admiral Wil liam F. Halsey, jr. The deadly P-T boats turned loose with 50-caliber machine-gun fire on barges loaded with 80 to 250 Japanese apiece. At Guadalcanal, Rear Admiral Theodore S. Wilkinson, commander of United States Amphibious Forces in the South Pacific, said that the Hnwillingness of the Japanese to I stand and die when trapped in a hopeless position indicated a pos sible change in their battle attitude. "They quit at Kiska in the Aleu tians and Bairoko, New Georgia," he said. "That may indicate their changed attitude because the ene- my did not quit at Munda, New Georgia or at Attu in the North Pacific. No Longer Die. "The Japanese no longer stay and die when they are placed in a hope less position." A spokesman at Admiral Halsey s headquarters said the occupation of Bairoko seals the doom of 10,000 Japanese in the strong garrison at Vila. It leaves Bouganville Island in the Northern Solomons as the only enemy operating base in that group of islands. The spokesman emphasized that the Japanese are not putting up a fight against American occupation of Vella La veil a Island, 45 miles north of Munda. Vella Lavella was taken August 15. The enemy troops on Vila are hemmed in between that island and New Georgia. Vila was brought under American artillery fire for the first time with the occupation of Bairoko. Since the capture of Vella LaveJla it has been apparent that thg United States forces would starve out the enemy there rather than make a concentrated attack on the island. "It may be necessary for us even tually to go in and bury-their dead.” Admiral Halsey's spokesman said.

Quoting the words of an unidenti fied admiral, he added: "The Japanese Navy gave its army a one-way ticket to New Georgia.” American forces also occupied small islands close to New Georgia. There were no military installations on any except Baanga, from which the Japanese had shelled Munday. The islands had been used as a refuge by enemy ship survivors and flyers who had been shot down. Air action in the Solomons in cluded an attack on Vila and a daylight raid on the Kahili air drome on BougainvHle. In Northeastern New Guinea, the western zone of the Pacific offensive, American and Australian troops are infiltrating Japanese positions west of the Important Salamaua air base. Contact also has been made from the enemy at the southwestern end of the field. The fall of the air drome seems but a matter of time. Bolivian Chief to Appoint New All-Military Cabinet Br the Associated Press. LA PAZ, Bolivia, Aug. 28.—Presi dent Enrique Penaranda, whose cab inet registered yesterday, will name an entirely military cabinet, it was understood here tonight. The nine-man cabinet resigned in a body as a barrage of criticism was leveled at its members in the Cham ber of Deputies over the suppression of a strike in the Catavi tin mines last December. Nineteen miners were slain and more than 30 wounded in disorders which accompanied the strike. During heated debate leaders of two extremist parties strongly crit icized two members of Penaranda's cabinet, even blaming the president himself for the “massacre” at Catavi. Grew Declares Japan Must Be Disarmed To End Militarism By the Associated Press. Joseph C. Grew, last American Ambassador to Japan, asserted last night that at the end of the war Japan must be disarmed, denied cer tain strategic islands and forced to give up conquered lands. Her military leaders and ‘•those guilty of the hideous and utterly barbaric cruelties practiced alike upon prisoners and wounded and upon non-combatant civilians of the United Nations" must be punished, said Mr. Grew in a radio address under the auspices of the Commis sion to Study the Organization of Peace. "Effective steps will undoubtedly have to be taken to rid the Japanese permanently of the cult of mili tarism,” Mr. Grew declared, adding that this would mean "re-education in all their institutions of learning from the kindergarten to the uni versity." "My own opinion, based upon my' 10 years of experience in Japan. Is that this process will present no Insuperable obstacles,” Mr, Grew said. Part of It will be automatic, he said, when the Japanese witness the defeat of their war machine, which they have been told has never teen defeated and can never be beaten becadse it Is protected by their sun goddess. Because of war weariness In Japan, Mr. Grew said, "it is my belief that when Japan's war with the United Nations is over, even In their defeat, the great majority of the Japanese people will give a sigh of profound relief and will welcome a new orientation and outlook so long as they are not deprived of the hope of better things to come,” ■■IRIIIilllllR Now, more than ever, Johntton 4 Murphv Sheet are true eeonom» Cfwfcfea The perfect three-quarter field shoe for officers and civilians.

U. S. Chamber Selects 27 to Study Problem Of Postwar Surpluses By (he Associated Press. What to do with the huge special purpose war plants and the big stocks of war goods when the war is over—or even before—became yes terday the particular problem of a committee of businessmen. The United States Chamber of Commerce announced creation of a 27-member committee representing varied lines of industry, designated as the Special Committee on Utiliza tion of War Plants and Surplus Property and headed by Albert C. Mattei, a vice president of the chamber and president of the Hono lulu Oil Corp., San Francisco. In an initial gathering here on Sep tember 9 and 10. the committee will make a preliminary survey of the scope and extent of the problem. Meanwhile. Senator Kilgore, Dem ocrat. of West Virginia, contended that the Nation must be on guard lest war-spurred development of various synthetics and substitutes for natural resources could be taken over by monopolies which, he said, could "wreck our postwar economy.” Hearings Are Planned. As chairman of a Senate Military Affairs Subcommittee studying tech nological mobilization, he announced that open hearings will begin in mid September on patents, industrial re search and prospective monopolies, with one phase of the inquiry cen tering on the peacetime future of synthetics. The chamber posed the postwar goods and plant problem this way: “Even before military operations reach their greatest intensity, the war agencies are finding that they have excess stocks of some kinds of war material and supplies. The accumulation of such stocks is in evitable in a highly mechanized war. New weapons, redesigned facil ities and necessary changes in the fighting men's equipment make obsolete munitions and supplies previously in use. "As the war goes on and comes to a close, the problem of the dis position of surplus property will be come increasingly important. "There will be the problem, at the end of the war, of the proper and efficient utilization of the great special purpose manufacturing plants.” Experts on Committee. Members of the special commit tee, the chamber said, include of ficers of companies engaged in the production of raw materials, the manufacture of war supplies, in dustrial machinery and transporta tion equipment, the building and operation of ships, the manufacture and distribution of consumer goods and banking. Senator Kilgore is author of a pending bill which, in addition to establishing a Federal bureau to mobilize the Nation’s technical and scientific resources, would give pri vate industry full access to pro cesses and patents developed dur ing the war in plants financed by Government money. Present contracts between such Industries and the Office of Sci entific Research and Development, covering research activities, give the Government only a “shop interest" in any patents developed in the plant. In other words, the Gov ernment has tht right to use them for its own purposes but cannot make them available to industry at large. A current war-business problem also came in for attention yesterday with the Federal Housing Admin istration. the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration and the Na tional Housing Agency waring against an “incipient real estate boom." The agencies said that “while the situation is ‘spotty’ and prices are still realistic in many communi ties.” a real estate boom “is in the making in some sections of the country.” That, said the agencies, Is a dangerous trend to be guarded against. Looking forward to the postwar era, the FHA is making a survey in all important housing markets to find out in what shape the con struction industry would be for re suming home building immediately after the war. Three Washingtonians Receive Commissions Three Washington men were made second lieutenants yesterday in graduation exercises of the Quar termaster School at Camp Lee. Va. They are Lester Thomas Smith, 2518 Tunlaw road N.W.; William Robert McGinnis, 1550 Hemlock street N.W.,« and William Edward Lucas, 3703 Eighteenth street N.W. Lt. Col. Joe T. Mizell, judge ad vocate general of Camp Lee, told graduating officers that a wave of complacency of the pre-Pearl Har bor variety was sweeping the coun try again but that if the public could look at the situation in its true light, ‘their sentiments would fade into oblivion.'' FREED FROM ROAD GANG IN WORK-OR-FIGHT REVERSAL—Stanley Day, 19-year-old Mont gomery farm laborer, shown working with a convict road gang near Olney yesterday morning. Work or Fight <Continued From First Page.) to be jailed in Montgomery County’s drive under the new law passed by the Maryland General Assem bly this spring and applying to 14 agricultural counties. One man drew a suspended sentence be cause he had a job waiting. An other paid a $50 fine. Day, who disclosed little at his first hearing except his reluctance to work at the Bussard place, did not have $50 and no one appeared to pay it for him. Every postoffice in the county had been placarded for the past two months with this warning “Work or Fight—To Be Enforced by State's Attorney—Joseph Simpson serves warning on those who refuse to work—asks co-operation.’’ The rest of the placard read: "The work or fight bill provides that every able-bodied man be tween the ages of 16 and 60, who j is not in the armed forces or who has not received his notice to re port for induction, or who is not on duty as a member of the Mary land State Guard, or a bona fide student in a school or other edu cational institution, who is not ac tually working in some business. I occupation, trade or profession, and refuses to accept an offer of work for which he is physically qualified,' is guilty of a misdemeanor.” In spite of the placard, Mr. Simp son and Mr. Noyes repeatedly said yesterday that “work-or-fight” was a misnomer for the law. Maryland had such a law in the World War, they said. Mr. Noyes, who conducted Thurs- j day’s prosecution of the Day youth, I said Mr. Btissard told him Day had j worked for him irregularly, and for j no other employer in the past, and j had refused to cut corn when it was i necessary to harvest the crop. Guilty Plea Rejected. It was not brought out in the hearing that the youth lived in a tenant farmer’s cottage on the Bus sard place. The boy, he said, was perfectly willing to plead guilty, but Judge De Lashmutt would not ac cept the plea. The boy proved a poor witness in his own behalf, ac cording to Mr. Noyes. He admitted refusing to work for Mr. Bussard, said a prominent farmer nearby had offered him $4 a day, and then ad mitted he was working for neither one. Mrs. Crown was the first witness at yesterday's hearing. She said j her brother had been rejected by 1 the Army for bad eyesight and be cause "he is not so quick about thinking.” He was also "kind of absent-minded,” she said. Next in the witness chair was Mrs. Day, mother of 12 children, four of them soldiers. She testified she didn’t know about Stanley's wages. The only time she knew of his having money was when he went to the store and BEFORE YOU BUY YOUR FALL WINTER CLOTHING VISIT WILNER’S NEW FALL SHOWING FOR THIS FALL you will rind the Wilner pattern more individual in design, more beautiful in color and of finer materials than ever before. 100% All Wool Suitings—Coatings HAND TAILORED TO ORDER Jos.

The youth’s father then was placed on the stand. “Had Stanley worked steadily on the farm?” he was asked. “Couldn't say he had,” the father replied with a rumbling voice. “He used to go eff to his sister’s once in a while.” Mr. Lebowitz’s questioning of the father began to resemble cross-ex amination. “Are you trying to impeach your own witness?” asked Mr. Simpson. “I am, and I will, if his honor will allow me,” Mr. Lebowitz an swered. Young Day was called to the stand. He was a reluctant and un comfortable witness. He told the court he had worked every day during the week before last. “What did you do on Sunday?” his counsel asked him. "I tuck it easy,” the youth said. “Who fed the hogs?” his lawyer countered. “I did,” the boy said. “Who fed the chickens?” his law yer asked again. “I did,” the boy answered again. Persists in Answer. On cross examination Mr. Simp son continually asked whether the youth worked Saturday but the youth persisted in the reply that he had worked that day. Mr. Simpson asked the boy par ticularly about threshing clover seed. Had he put in a full day at it? The youth said he had. “But you can’t start threshing clover seed the first thing in the morning,” Mr, Simpson protested. “Why not?” the boy asked. “I don’t know,” Mr. Simpson said. “But’m told that you can't." The youth testified he just did not feel like working Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Mr. Bussard followed young Day. He told the court he did not know how much Stanley worked, declar ing he had been in bed from a fall. When he said that no rate of pay had been offered the defendant, the charges were dismissed.

The operations, under Govern ment direction, were conducted in secrecy this year, Mr. Ickes said, because of their proximity to mili tary operations. The skins are prepared and auctioned publicly, un der contract with the Government, by the Pouke Pur Co., St. Louis. Last year 6nly 127 pelts were taken because the military author ities ordered evacuation of the islands after sealing operations had begun. The harvest in 1941 amount ed to 95,013 skins. The highest yield was in 1867, the year the islands were purchased from Russia along with Alaska. Un controlled operations then enabled hunters to take 242,000 skins. This year’s expedition, consisting of 183 persons, was headed by Ed ward C. Johnston, superintendent of the Pribilof Islands. Employes of the fur company and natives of the islands, who had been evacuated to Fulmer Bay in Alaska. 1,500 miles away, were members of the party which hunted from June 10 to Au gust 9. Under a 1911 treaty, Canada and Japan each were allotted J5 per cent of the annual yield of seal skins. The United States will keep two-thirds of Japan’s share this year and will turn the other one third over to Canada, providing legislation covering this agreement is approved by Congress.

Mrs. Meioney, who was a Wash ington correspondent earlier in her career, became editor of a new Sunday magazine section for the New York Herald Tribune. This magazine became This Week in 1935 and is now distributed to Sun day newspapers throughout the country, Including The Star.

Back From the Wars Soldier Thought He Was Dead Until Foe Took Him Prisoner Tunisian Casualty Is Recovering at Walter Reed An American soldier who had given himself up as fatally wounded after lying unattended for nearly eight hours in an African poppy field; was rescued and taken pris oner by a German patrol, and re gained consciousness beside a dead Nazi is under treatment Wday at Walter Reed Hospital. "I thought my days were ended," Pvt. Armand P. Silvestri of South bridge, Mass., recalled today. “One bullet had hit me in the wrist and two others were in my right chest. I couldn't breathe. Our own forces had retired and the fire of our own artillery had begun to replace the bursting German 88-mm. shells Which had originally swept the field. "I was conscious, but I couldn’t do anything, although I was able to bandage my wounds after a fashion and take my sulfanilamide tablets. I remained where I had fallen for seven or eight hours without water under the glaring sun. Just at dusk, I looked up and there was a German patrol. Walking ahead of it. a pris oner, was one of the men from my own company—Red Sams." Yells to Patrol. “'Hey Reds,’ I yelled, getting up on my elbow so they would see me. They came and looked me over and Reds took out his bandage and re dressed my wound and gave me some more sulfanilamide. Then, at the direction of the Germans, Reds picked me up and I passed out. It was morning when Pvt. Sil vestri, who had entered service only last October and had been shipped direct to Africa after 13 PVT. ARM AND P. SILVESTRI. —Star Staff Photo. weeks’ infantry training, recovered consciousness. He found himself lying in a German pillbox beside a dead German soldier. "A German sergeant came up to me and gave me a piece of black bread,” Pvt. Silvestri said, “It was hard as a rock, but it tasted good. I tried to motion to him that I didn't want to stay by the dead German and he fixed uo a bed for me in his own hole under a rock. "Some of the Germans treated me pretty good but some were un friendly. After keeping me there a couple of days, they finally put me on a horse and then, with one German leading the horse and an 1 other sitting up behind me to hold me up, they took me through the j mountains to a field hospital. "I could tell that I had been run ning a fever during the two days under that rock and when they got me to the field hospital they put me in an ambulance and took me on to a hospital at Tunis. There I got medical attention and a doctor took the bullets out of my chest. He couldn’t ‘speak English but he told me in sign language that the bullets had just missed my lungs and that I was lucky to be alive. "The men I met in the hospital were mostly English although there were a couple from my own com pany. But my stay there couldn’t be described as pleasant for the Ger mans had placed an anti-aircraft battery only a few blocks from the hospital and our bombers were try ing to knock it out. They finally did and the explosions shook the hos pital. "When Tunis fell, the German medical staff stayed on until an Eng lish staff came and took over. They took me to an English field hospital. Then I was taken to an American field hospital and I was evacuated to the rear by plane. Table* Are Turned. "It was on the way back across the Atlantic that I had the tables turned on the Germans who were with us. While I had been in the Tunis hospital I had been afraid of the American bombers. Now they were afraid of the German sub marines. Lots of them had relatives in the United States, but they were all convinced that they were going to win the war.” When Pvt. Silvestri landed in Africa he was put into a combat unit and three weeks later he was in his first action. It was a 16-hour battle in which the attacking German panzer division was finally stopped by hand grenades. "Our outfit threw more than 600 grenades in the final stages of that battle,” he said, "and at any time you could look into the air and see anywhere from 10 to 30 sailing to ward the enemy. I was trying to Married People Must File Declarations if 2 Incomes Top $3,500 All married couples whose annual joint incomes are more than $3,500, and single persons whose annual income is more than $2,700. must file the "declaration of estimated income and victory tax" on or before Sep tember 15. This was emphasized in official circles last night because so many people are asking the question, “Do I have to file?” The answer came as a considerable surprise to many married taxpayers, who had the erroneous impression that in deqiding whether it is neces sary to file the new form a man and his wife could consider their incomes pick off as many Germans as I could, but I wouldn't like to say how many I got.” Nazis Called Efficient. In this battle, Pvt. Silvestri said the Germans sometimes got with in 100 yards of the American posi tions. “Their half-tracks would come up with a load of live soldiers, pick up a load of dead ones and go back,” he related. “It was pretty efficient.” After a rest, Pvt. Silvestri's out fit went back into action on the Mateur front at Easter and pushed the Germans back in a big attack. There, after first being pinned down by artillery fire, Pvt. Silves tri advanced with his battalion #to take a hill in seven or eight rushes. Then came another rest, but soon Pvt. Silvestri went back to the front. It was while attempting to attack an enemy hill while on patrol that Pvt. Silvestri was wounded. Looking back on that battle, Pvt. Silvestri says he realizes how lucky he had been. “Most of us were either killed or wounded.” he Raid, “and out of 60 or more men, only 16 got back.” separately. If they filed separate Income tax returns. The explanation was made by As sistant Secretary of the Treasury John L. Sullivan during a radio pro gram broadcast late last week. He emphasized that where a man and wife had two incomes which added up to $3,500 or less, the victory and withholding taxes would take care of their obligation to Uncle Sam under the new pay-as-you-go rev enue act. But if the two incomes added up to more than $3,500 the declaration must be filed, he said, because withholding will not be enough to take care of the tax. Meantime, to help the public get straightened out on the complicated questions involved in the new pay as-you-go tax, the staff of experts in tly Office of Deputy Collector of In ternal Revenue will be enlarged *to 60 beginning tomorrow morning. The office, in Room 1002, Revenue Building, Twelfth street and Con stitution avenue N.W., will be open daily from 8:30 am. to 5:30 p.m. The new forms have been mailed to all persons in this collection dis trict of Maryland and the District of Columbia, who filed an income tax return last March. Receipt of an envelope from the collector's office, with the forms, does not necessarily mean, how ever, that the recipient falls within the class of people who must file. It was impossible for the collec- tor's office to single out only those i persons who must file the new i declaration. Most of the people receiving the forms will not have to file, it was explained. The extra payments made in September and in December on the excess tax may be taken by either the man, his wife, or may be divided among them next March when the real income tax return is made, and final payment ad justed. Filing of a joint declaration in September on Victory and with holding tax does not bind the cou ple to file a joint income tax re turn next March. They may file separately in March. One official explanation of this point says: "Where a joint declara tion is filed, the liability for the estimated tax is joint and several. Where, after having filed a joint declaration, the spouses file sep arate tax returns, the amount of estimated tax paid mav be applied against the separate tax libility of either spouse or may be divided between them.” 1 NEW FALL DRAMA FOR YOU IN A Stunning Beret Berets are big news for Fall!

Eligibility for automobiles with a lisjt price of less than $1,500, except convertibles, is confined to persons who can show the need for a car In any of the essential occupations (such as war workers, physicians, ministers, etc.) who do not now have the use of an ade quate car.

The following types also are exempt from rationing if shipped from the factory before April 16: Ski and skate shoes, locker san dals, bathing slippers, shoes with a fabric upper and a rubber sole, and certain types of "play” shoes. A special procedure has been established offering relief to con sumers who buy shoes they find are defective. Persons living in the United States, but who expect to be away from a source of supply for long periods of time, may make ar rangements to obtain the number of additional pairs of shoes he ■will need.
