CLEANSING, Sept. Is R -
It's a wise draftee, the selective
service headquarters says, who
travels light when he is called
for induction into the army.
It issued a bulletin indicating
that one of the ways to avoid
winning friends and influencing
people at induction centers is
to show up with trunks and
bullying suitcases full of cloth
ing and nick-nacks.
The bulletin said small bag
containing toilet articles and a
few clean clothes Is ample, and
q wise precaution in event in
duction is delayed. Excess bag
gage must be returned to the
selectee's home at his own ex-
pense or otherwise disposed of,
and army men don't like to be
bothered looking after some
body else's trunk.

q WASHINGTON. Sept. 25-(R
Amid reports that virtual
scrapping of the neutrality act
would be sought next week, Sem
ator Taft (R-Ohio) declared to-
day that repeal would be equiv
alent to a declaration of war.
"At the very least" he said
to reporters, lit would grant the
administration authority to carry
on an undeclared wal"
Taft foresaw q knock-down-
and-drag-out battle in the SEN
ate against any repeal attempt
IA forecast which few legis-
lators disputed - and promised
that he and other opponents Of
the administration's foreign pol
icy would fight vigorously.
READY TO ACT
However, Rep. Wadsworth (R-
N.Y. believed that the house was
ready to repeal or modify the
law, and he voiced the hope that
II would be wiped off the
statute books"
I'm all our history, he told
newsmen. i've fought for the
right to sail the seven seas AT

surrendered that right. That

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S-(R
The astronomical goal Of 50,-
600, 900, 900 eggs in 1924 rec
ord-breaking production-w a
set today by officials planning
the food supply for national de-
tense and British-aid.
The staggering order to the
nations henhouses came from
poultry experts at the depart
ment Of agriculture In their
annual forecast of the poultry
and egg situation.
ITO supply efficient eggs for
domestic and lend-lease needs
in 1912 q total egg production of
q little over 4 billion dozen eggs
is needed" was the formal an
nouncement, with officials con-
fident that such q production
peak could be attained.
The goal represents q big in
crease over the $4,000, 900, 900
egg-total which government ex-
perts are hoping for this year,
despite the record to date. In
the first eight months Of the
year production was 30,212. 000,-
900 and poultry experts do not
look for more than 10000, 000,-
900 more In the final quarter,
which would make the 1941
total 1000, 900, 900 short Of ex-
pectations.
Agriculture department offic-
ials said today that farm prices
for both eggs and poultry had
advanced rapidly In recent
months and that prices for 1942
were expected to maintain these
levels or advance. Although
costs Of corn and other chicken
feed will advance, officials said,
the higher prices for eggs and
poultry products would more
than compensate.
They estimated layers on
farms - hens that produce eggo
- at about $50, 900, 900 at pres
ent and said these would in
crease to more than $50, 000, 900
by January I. .Non-farm produc-
ton Is expected to contribute to
the overall egg total.
British egg needs alone In
1912 were estimated at the equi-
valent of 10000 900 eggs.
Another British food need will
be 100000 pounds Of dressed
and boned chicken meat In cans.
The survey showed that farm
prices for eggs had increased
as much a. so per cent In re-
cent months over last year, de-
spite q II per cent increase In
the number Of chickens. Ex-

Set Astronomical Goal
of 80 Million Eggs

perts said egg production should
continue to expand because the

should be higher than for feed
ing poultry for meat.
Consumers in this country

were warned that egg prices
next year ARE expected to con-
tinue well above those of q year

Farmers were advised that

Siaht Of U. s. Observer,
Hurt by Bomb, Saved
By Radio to The Star.

By RADIO co Inc star.
LONDON. Feb. 24-The sight OF
one and perhaps both the eyes OF
Mai. Robert Williams, United States
Army Air Corps observer, injured
during recent air raids, has been
saved. it was learned this morning.
The skillful work by Royal Air
Force Surgeon Keith Lyall is be-
heved to have saved Maj. Williams
from the blindness which first
seemed inevitable.
Mai. Williams, who has been here
for the past three months on active
duty as air observer. had just re-
turned from several days spent with
an R. A. F. squadron when the raid
occurred in daylight.
The vision of the left eye has
been definitely saved and the sur
geon thinks that perhaps Maj. Will
liams may also be able to use the
right eye with the aid of thick
lens.
Mai. Williams is one of the lead
ing experts on high altitude bomb
ers. The accident occurred when he
was on active duty, contrary to first
reports. Embassy officials state that
army and air observers are on "a
hour duty when in Great Britain,
and any accidents or raid casualties,
therefore, are incurred on active
service.

Indo-China Officials
Doubt Accord Will Be
Reached With Thai
HostiIities Are Expected
To Be Resumed; Demands
Are Held Exorbitont
Earlier Story on Page A-1.l

BY the Associated Press.
SAIGON, French China, Feb.
24.-Despite the new extension OF
the arnistice between this French
colony and Thailand, reported today
from Toxic. official sources expressed
belief that final agreement is ''virtu-
ally hopeless" and that hostilitles
ultimately will be resumed.
Both natives and the French in
Hanoi were said to regard the Thai
demands as "exorbitant" and jap
anese counter proposals, which they
said would make "Indo-China the
heavy loser" as unreasonable.
Authoritative sources here said
they expected Japan, as mediator,
to exert still stronger effort to
achieve a settlement since, they said,
failure would be an irretrievable loss
of face for a country pretending to
occupy a dominant position in the
Western Pacific"
Reports from Toxic notwithstand-
ing. a deal for Indo-China to sell
Japan 100000 tons of rice was said
to have fallen through. Dispatches
from Toxic quoted japanese For
eign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka as
saying an agreement already had
been put into effect.
The stumbling block was said to
have been Japan's desire to pay for
the rice in yen which, although ac-
ceptable here. was rejected by the
French government at Vichy.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Police in
tensifled their search today for the
slayer of Michael Borislavsky after
they said they learned that new
aerial torpedo perfected by the for
mer Russian colonel had been &C
cepted by the United States War
Department shortly before he was
shot Saturday night.
In Washington, the National In
ventors Council of the United
States Patent Office announced that
it had rejected plans filed by Col.
Borislavsky last November for a
naval torpedo and that consequently
the plans never reached the Army
or Navy Departments.
At the same time his widow dis
closed that her husbands life was
threatened three years ago in note
written him in Russian. At the time
she and her husband regarded the
incident as a Joke" she said,
Col Borislavsky's body was found
Saturday night lying face downward
on the sidewalk outside a convent
near 133d street. A bullet had
pierced his right eye Assistant
Medical Examiner Raymond Miles
listed the death as homicide when
no gun was discovered.
Originally police expressed belief
the 55-year-old Russian met death
while resisting an attempted holdup.
But Mrs. Borislavsky said she
knew of no enemies her husband
might have had-and added that
she gave him only quarter when

Mrs. Roosevelt Says
'CindereHo's' Trip
Was Publicity Stunt

The rumors that Screen Star
Lana Turner elbowed Anne
Sklepovitch of Gary, w. Va,
during the cake cutting at the
Presidents Birthday Ball, today
led Mrs Roosevelt to discount
Annals trip to Washington, al
legedly to see the President, as
a publicity stunt.
Mrs. Roosevelt disclosed that
a newspaperman had written
her explaining the origin Of
the 14-year-old girls trip TO
Washington, and though Mrs.
Roosevelt declined to elaborate
she said that it was done for
publicity purposes.
Anna was supposed to be the
victim of a hoax invitation to
visit the President after she
had written the White House
that her birthday was also on
January 30. Mrs. Roosevelt
concluded by saying she didn't
see what difference it made
whether Lana elbowed Anna
or vice versa.

Wheat Futures Skyrocket
Or Threatening War Outlook

One explanation was that dealers
who have been out of the market
began accumulating contracts, in
spired possibly by the Hitler speech,
the threatening war situation, re-
cent reports of crop damage in the
southwest or statements of Govern
ment officials regarding the farm
program.
Buying after midsession disclosed
that the market was fairly we'll
liquidated and that sellers were
reluctant. This was particularly
true in the case of the new crop
contracts, July and September,
which sold at a discount of more
than a scents compared with
May futures at the opening.
