That lesson is written in : five

That was Finland's epitaph, the
story of helps from the Western

That is why Theo Nicoludis, the
Creek press minister, appealed to

Hitler, even though he may be Sc.
cretly pleased by the discontinue
of his partner-in-Axis cannot, in
the long run, afford to let Greece
become a bastion of British
strength in the Mediterranean.
For this is, in many ways, the
best battlefield the British have
found. Unhappily, they cannot turn
to it with all their might. .
There are certain important
similarities and certain important
differences between the Greek and
the Finnish wars that must be

These are the main similarities:
Both Greece and Finland were

Finch Asks House Action
On Se|f-RuIe for D. T..

Wilbur s. Finch, president of
the District Suffrage Association,
today urged Representative Ran
dolph, chairman of the House Dis
trict Committee, to continue efforts
to bring before the House a bill
providing for q measure Of local
government for the people Of the
District"
Mr.. Finch, in a letter to the Rep
resentative, expressed disappoint-
ment that the House Rules Commit
tee voted against consideration of
the Summers resolution, which pro-
yided q constitutional amendment
empowering Co.gress to grant ma
tional representation to District res
identS.
Suggesting the possibility that a
local suffrage bill could be consid-
cred by the District Committee and
reported directly to the House with
out reference to the Rules Com
mittee, Mr.. Finch said:
while there may be some high.
ly technical objections to the grant.
ing Of national representation, there
is and can be none for local SELF
government. The Congress
now has ample power to grant
US a municipal legislature without
amending or contravening the Con.
Stitution,"

which spokesmen for the alcoholic
beverage industry testified as to the
scope they thought the regulations
should cover.
In announcing the public hearing,
Mr.. Lodge said the suggestions do
not in all instances represent the
final position Of the board but are
rather the consensus of public and
official expressions of opinion. Sew
eral of them. he added, do not have
the approval of the board at this
time but may have later after public
discussion. He invited written ex-
pressions Of opinion on the proposals.
The proposal to limit the dis
tance which certain types of
licensees must be from certain in
stitutions is similar to regulations
which the board inforced several
years ago, but at that time the dis
tance was specified at 400 feet. The
specific distance requirement, how
ever, was later eliminated to give
the board more discretion and be-
cause of the feeling that the mere
specification Of a certain number OF
feet would put hardship on some
applicants for licenses.

PENDANTS in the Governments anti
trust case against the National Con-
tainer Association and 81 others
pleaded nolo contendere today and
were fined total of $4,000 by Fed

was fined $4,000. and Charles r.
Stevenson, its president, and Charles
H. Ferris, an employe, $4,000 each.
BY their pleas, they accepted the
judgment Of the court without

injunction in this case was entered
against all defendants in April and
at that time the criminal action
against all but the three who pleaded
today was abandoned.
Frank H. Elmore. jr., special assist
ant to the Attorney General, in
charge of both cases, said the
National Container Association and
its codefendants had controlled IS

paper box output of the country,

creditably and won the part Of
