 Tomorrow's primary win he fol- lowed in three days by that in Wis constn where full Republican slates are entered in behalf of Dewey and Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, R. Mich. It is a vital contest for them. but more SO for Garner who has en. tered an anti-third term slate of D e m ocra tic delegate candidates There are two Roosevelt slates which may split the Mberal-new deal-R Roosevelt vote and let Garner win a midwest head start. The two states of Roosevelt delegates were entered by opposing elements of the states Democratic party.
 But there is no such complication in Illinois one week later, April g, where Garner and Mir. Roosevelt are opposed under circumstances foretelling a reverse to Gamers one- man campaign against a third term The powerful Kelley.Nasl1 machine which controls Chicago is backing the Roosevelt delegate ticket. Dewey Is in Illinois without Republican op- position. The Illinois primary is not binding.
 Nebraska's non-binding primary also takes place on April g. MT. Roosevelt is entered without opposi- ton, the time for filing having ex- pired. Dewey and Vandenberg are ll1 Nebraska's Republican contest.
 New Hampshire Battle
 Concord, N. H., March l1-(Up)- The issue of a third term for presi- dent Roosevelt appeared today the dominant factor of national interest in New Hampshire's t-in-the- IT. on presidential primary tomor- row. A light vote is expected. The president is assured of 3 1-2- and probably lnore--of the states eight Democratic national conven- ton votes. Close contests for several of the other votes loomed with two delegate-candidates pledged to James A. Farley, one to vice-president John N. Garner and four unpledged among a total of l0 entered.
 The Democrats elect eight at- large delegates with a half vote eac!, and two delegates with full vote for each of the two districts. Del- egates elected as pledged mus. stand by their pledges unless re- leased by the candidates. Neither Farley nor Garner Is entered offi- cially.
 Since il of the 16 at-large car,- didates are pledged to Mir. Roosevelt three third-serm men must be elect- ed. In the lst district two of four candidates are Roosevelt-pledged while in the End district all three candidates are Roosevelt pledged. , Considerable national interest al. 50 has been shown in the Republi. can contests since two at-large can- didates. U. 8. Senator H. Styles Bridges and Governor Francis P Murphy, have been mentioned as possible Republican presidential and vice-presidential nominees respec- lively. Four full-vote seats will be filled from among the eight at- large candidates, all unpledged but one. J. Howard Gile of Nashua is pledged to Thomas E. Dewey with the candidates specific disapprovai.

 the Kings desk in the center before bright fire. During their talk Welles sat in deep armchair. He was accompanied to the palace by United States Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy.
 Welles and the King talked about half an hour. Just before five o'clock Queen Elizabeth entered the study and greeted Welles.
 Alter chatting for a few minutes they walked through the audience chamber to the pine room, where they had tea.
 There was little of the ceremony which would have prevailed in peacetime.
 At the last moment before his ar- rival here from Paris yesterday In a French army plane, Welles ar- ranged to stay at the Dorchester Hotel instead of Claridge's. Viscount Halifax has an apartment at the Dorchester and newspapers specu- lated on the possibility that he and Halifax had talked to each other yesterday. J. Pierrepont Moffatt, of the state department, who is accom- panying Welles, said however thot they had not met
 At First Suspicious
 Newspapers, at first suspicious that Welles was bringing to Europe or was hoping to develop while here a peace plan, now welcomed him They indicated, as did other sources of information, that he had come to London at 8 propitiolls time for the purposes of his mission, to ascertain the diplmatic situation. The Russo Finnish peace moves, the visit of Joachim Won Ribbentrop, German foreign minister, to Rome and Vat ican City, were cited as among ac. tivities which he could discuss prof. itably with British leaders.
 But strong emphasis was put on the idea that Britain was fighting for international justice and Euro pean security and that she must see the fight through.
 The overwhelming opinion was that no peace terms acceptable to Germany could meet Great Britain's minimum war aims.

 Corcoran then sought to get in the record that the company was en- gagged in bankruptcy proceedings, but defense counsel objected that tho action was merely a reorganiza- ton. The court then admonished the jury of four women and eight men to consider the proceedings "only for reorganization"
 Income Tax Record
 The government then introduced the income tax report of Musica's original drug firm, 0irard Q O., which showed . gradual increase in profits and salary to the swindler and his brother, George Dietrich" The head of the firm also drew a salary, the report showed, under the name of ''P.

contraband German coal to Italy had been move of considerable diplomatic importance, calculated to take the steam out ,of Ribbentrop's visit to Rome. According to inform- ation here Italy was just as eager as Britain to avoid friction. It was understood that an informal agreea ment had been reached by which Italys imports of British coal, now more than 100000 tons a year would be increased, perhaps more than doubled.

(Continued from Page D Spectators suggested that the Vat ican did not want to link the Vat ican and German flags because of the troubled relations with Ger many.
 Ribbontrop wore ministrial uni- form for his visit, with 8 Nazi dag ger at his side. He looked most sol- emrl.
 Reliable informants said that Rib- bontrop did not kneel to kiss the papel ring. It was suggested that the Pope probably gave his blessing to the German people. This is custom ary at such audiences.
 Papal Chamberlain Welcomes
 Arborio Mella Di ant'Elia, papal Chamberlain, received him at the courtyard of St. Damascus and &C., compained him to the Clementine Hall, preceded by four red-uniform- ed attendants.
 Monsignor Beniamino Nardone, chief of ceremony of the Vatican presented the grave-faced Ribbon- trop to the Pope. After brief pub. lie reception, the Pope and Ribbon trop withdrew to the Pope's private library for their conference.
 It was generally believed that Rib- bontrop sought to improve relations between the German government and the Vatican. Reports that there might be talk of a European peace proposal or of a new Vatican Ger man treaty were generally discount ed. 1
 Ribbontrop had talked to Premier Benito Mussolini yesterday, he had started his activities today with an audience with King Victor Emmanuel and 1t was arranged for him to talk with MuSsolini again today.
 Edge Off Visit
 But authoritative quarters, Ital- ian as well as foreign, indicated that Great Britain's sudden and un. expected decision to release Italian ships bearing German export coal had taken the edge off Ribbontrop's visit.
 If Italian reaction from the Brit ish seizure had caused Germans to believe that Italy was ready for a proposal to join more closely with Germany, 1t was said, Italys feel- ing of triumph at the release of its coal ships might have a contrary effect. There was no less cord.ality to Germany in high official circles. But the removal at least in part of Italian British friction was held tc have made dramatic developments as between Italy and Germany less likely.
 Newspapers called Ribbontrop's talks merely normal discussions. and said they would be purely informa. tive. Giovanni Ansaldo. c leading commentator, dismissed as ridiculous the possibility that R.bbontFop might seek to change Italys status as . on-beiligerent. German circles said also that that was the last .hing Germany wanted to do. place them in certain essential sers vices, iEeludlng the Ire brigade.

County Board
of Education
Approves Leave
Authorizes Leave of Absence
To Teachers For Military
Service. Will Reinstate
Upon Return To Teaching

At it's regular meeting on Tues
day, the Board of Education, ap-
proved a new Bylaw authorizing
leave of absence to teachers called
for military service. A previous
Bylaw provided for leave of alb
sence for personal illness, mater
nifty and for study.
The board was advised that
teachers have already been called
for military service and others are
subject to call. By providing a
leave of absence a teacher called
for military service does not lose
membership in the State Teachers
Retirement System and may be re-
instated upon return to teaching.
The board discussed the program
of the schools in connection with
the National Preparedness Pro-
gram. The physical education
work in the schools was discussed
following which the board advised
that the courses be directed toward
physical preparedness among the
students. It was suggested that
an emphasis be placed on the ac-
ceptance of responsibility in OBJ
serving good posture, in building
physical stamina and in accepting
responsibility in carrying out a
program which tends to build a
seriousness in the understanding of
being prepared to cope with the
National emergency situation new
existing.
It was further suggested that
the professional program for the
year on Democracy as developed in
the Professional Yearbook be used
in the Parent Teacher Associa-
ton programs. The board ex-
pressed very great interest and
satisfaction in the work being
planned by the teachers to deal
with Democracy in the program
for the year.
The board directed that insur-
ance to cover property damage be
carried on all school buses.
