"Splendidly," grinned the colonel,

can be proud of them!"
That's too bad," muttered a re-
porter.
No Germans in Country.
Col. Zilliacus said Finland permit
ted no German troops in his country
prior to the Nazi push on Russia.
He said the Russians, after the
last war, demanded and received
permission of Finland to transport
their troops across the country tc
Hango. The Nazis followed this, he
said, with a demand that German
troops be allowed to pass through
Finland as requirements for garri-
sons in Northern Norway.
Those troops had been up there
through the Arctic winter. They
needed replacing. An Arctic winter
can do bad things to the morale oi

Contrary to popular belief, thu

Young Backs Mason
Proposal 10 Import
Milk TO Washington
Commissioner Insists
Purity Standards
Must Be Maintained

Commissioner John Russell Young
was on record today indorsing the
plan of Commissioner Guy Mason
for opening the Washington market
to importation of milk and cream
from anywhere in the United States
provided system could be SCI
up to assure continuation of the
quality and purity of milk sold here
Both he and Mr.. Mason voiced
desire to make any proper move
that would prevent an increase in
the price of milk, now threatened
and said they would consider
whether existing District milk regu-
lations are so stringent as to affect
producer and retail prices beyond
reason.
Il am not committed to any
change in regulations. said Com
missioner Young, land 1 do not
believe we should make any change
which would result in a lowering
of our present standards of quality
ard purity Of milk.
However. I think it would be
wise for us to re-examine our regu-
lations to see if they are unneces-
sarily costly"
He added that he was not sure
it would be wise for Washington
to abandon its own standards and
permit importation of milk which
meets only the standards set bv the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice
Data and arguments on the sub
ject are to be aired September %
when. the Commissioners hold a
public hearing on the proposal of
Representative Schultz, Democrat,
of Indiana, to broaden the law to
permit importation of cream from
States beyond the Washington
milkshed.

Al AN-Star Grid Game
New York Administrator
Spends Night in JoiI,
But Is Not Charged
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Aug. %. - Federal
agents out scouting for professional
ticket scalpers at the All-Star foot
ball game last night discovered to
their surprise today that among the
13 men they picked up was N. j.
Cladakis, New York's Federal milk
marketing administrator.
Mr.. Cladakis, who formerly was
the marketing administrator here,
spent an uncomfortable night in Jail
and was being questioned by agents
of the Internal Revenue Bureau and
assistants of United States District
Attorney j. Albert Woll
Mr.. Woll reported that no charge
had been made against Mr.. Cladakis,
adding that the Government was in
terested in prosecuting professional
scalpers and not persons who might
have tried to get rid of an extra
ticket at the gates of Soldier Field.
Mr.. Cladakis' New York office,
quoting A. w. Colebank, acting milk
marketing administrator for the
Chicago area, said that Mr.. Cladakis
and Mr.. Colebank we're in party of
six going to the game, and that Mr..
Cladakis had an extra ticket, which
he tried to sell outside.
Mr.. Colebank could not be reached
at his Chicago home or Office for
further comment.
Hearing that attempts might be
made to scalp All-Star tickets,
which were at a premium with a
crowd of $4,000 in the stands, the
Internal Revenue Bureau had 80
agents around the gates. 2

By the Associated Press.
Treasury defense expenditures
passed 81 900 900 900 in August, the
first such month since the last World
War.
With three business days of the
month yet to mark up, the Treasury
said that expenditures from August
through August 81 for defense to-
tailed $1,001 ,446M>
g+Sss va. sno,st S72 100000 more
than was spent in the whole month
of July and about five times as much
as was spent in August last year,
when the defense program had
barely begun.
The Treasury figure did not in
clude, however, defense disburse-
ments of the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. and its subsidiaries, which
have been running over 100000 900 a
month.
Army Spending Tops List.
Spending in the first 81 days Of
August through the Treasury in
cluded $500 ,972 ,659 for the Army,
1851 ,1l3 1874 for the Navy, S57981 1872

| struction of the Maritime Commits

expense Of selective service and
| S1l TIT ,665 for other defense activi-
ties.
Although small part of the total,
the lease-lend cash expenditures
of S57 .981 1872 represented more than
half Of all the checks written for
lease-lend since the program started.
Heretofore, lease-lend shipments
came largely out of stocks already
owned by the Government and re-
quired no cash spending.
The August figures fulfilled pre-
diction of Budget Director Harold
D. Smith that defense costs would
reach the billion dollar a month
mark by September and lent
weight to his additional prediction
that defense spending for the fiscal
year which will end June 80, 1912,
will total s15.50O.O00 900.
Defense Two-thirds of Spending.
Total defense costs for the first
month and 81 days of the year were
S1941 058 ,086-about two-thirds Of
the 1894 SAL 500 spent for all pur-
poses in this period.
The period was one Of usually

| By w. II. SHIPPEN, Jr.
Finland is going to drop out OF
this war as soon as she gets her
borders protected-she hopes.
The sturdy little Baltic republic,
her spokesmen in Washington say,
has engaged in a purely local fight
and will dig in for duration when
her army reaches key defense points.
Part of this is national policy, as
stated by the Finnish President, and
part the personal opinion of Col.
Per Zilliacus, military attache at
the Legation here. The colonel en-
larged upon this theme yesterday
afternoon at press conference to
which he invited several score of
Washington newspapermen.
Patient and Informative.
"That sounds fine, colonel" said
reporter, but what will Hitler
say about separate peace?"
"Ah," the colonel shrugged, "how
can I say what Hitler will say?"
The military expert, equipped with
wall maps and pointer, might have
been instructing college class, ex-
cept for the highball glasses which
some of the students" held, and
rather pointed questions asked by
the post t-graduates. Col. Zilliacus
was both patient and informative.
The geography of the region
under discussion, unfortunately, was
studded with names which baffled
the Americans-all, that is, but the
radio commentators. The fighting
Firms. Col Zilliacus said, are press
ing defensive campaigns in an effort
to cut Russia's supply lines leading
to the 600-mile border which runs
north from the Gulf of Finland to
Petsamo on the Arctic Ocean.
The Firms, he said, are threaten
ing to cut Russia's railroad from
Leningrad to the Arctic port Of
Murmansk in two places. The rail-
road helps to supply five military
highways built by the Soviets to
the Finnish border, the colonel said.
The Firms hope to halt Russian at
tacks from the east by throwing a
line from Lake Ladoga to Lake
Omega and the White Sea.
Difficulty Supplying Army.
The Russians, he said, will have
difficulty supplying an army on the
northern border of Finland across
the White Sea, whose principal sea-
port of Archangel is closed by ice
a good part of the year and con-
nected with the mainland only by
a narroW-gauge railway.
AS for the Finnish drive south
across the iSthmus toward nearby
Leningrad, Col. Zilliacus believes his
countrymen, who are cautious as
we'll as valiant, won't press too hard
on the Soviet bunkers protecting
that great city.
I'VE wish to conserve our man
power for the defense of our coun-
try he said. The cost of driving
the Russians back on Leningrad
would be great. And how would we
benefit? Suppose we took Lenin-
grad? How would we feed that vast
population this winter? We have
little enough food for our own people.

 Here ct Terrell, 30 miles outside Dallas, they gave Q gay twist to 8 serious task.
 This they consider part of their tradition. It Is tradition of which they are terrincally proud.
 "These boys always can joke, no matter how tough the going" said an instructor. Remember that 1t was c couple of hundred boys like these who saved the day at Dun- kirk"
 Many In Teens Most of them looked as though they should be on high school and college campuses instead of study ing the art of war. Some of them never had shaved. Many came di- rect from class rooms. They had the camraderie that comes from Q common aim.
 To Q man, they said they wanted Co get back to Britain.
 'TYnis is great country" said Frank Miller, 6 22-year.old Lon- don youth, who had been studying art and architecture. Americans have been 50 kind that we never will forget 1t. We will be grateful always. But the show is going on across the way. It's our show. We'll seel better as soon as we are in it."
 one of the few men in camp who has wide experience in private business is Robert Young rugged, 20.year. .old Scot, who is substan- italy older than most of his com rades. Prior to joining the R. A. F, he was assistant manager of tea plantation in Ceylon.

 ThNre are l50 students at the camp. It Is privately owned. The instructors are Americans. The cadets are divided into three classes of 50 each. A new class enters every five weeks.
 Tho cadets receive 20 weeks in- struction. Then they return to Britiah bases for further tactical training, their basic instruction completed.
