WASHINGTON, April "a fun

Informed officials of the USHA
said that until such a report

Federal Investigators have been
on the ground in Detroit since the
grand jury indicted Detroit officials
for irregularities in the handling
of the Herman Gardens project.
They are expected 10 bring their
findings 10 Washington this week.
HINT FBI ON JOB
In the absence of Straus, who
has been i'll, the USHA investiga-

administrator Leon Keyserling.
Officials of the Federal Works
Agency of which the USHA is now
a part, refuse 10 say whether ad-
ministrator John NJ. Carnody of
F#A has ordered an independent
investigation. II is implied that the
FBI is on the Job. The Depart

FBT loose on any case involving
misuse Of government funds or
other violations Of federal law, and
accordingly could conduct its own
inquiry without waiting to be
asked to do so either by USHA or

STRIKES:

The labor trouble tempo in the
United States defense industry was
on the upward curve again, with a

Always rearing its head was the
threatened General Motors strike,
which would, if it occurred, affect
millions Of dollars in defense work
and about 100000 employees, and
John L. Lewis said that IL the coal
contract with southern operators
was not forthcoming soon, he would
call the 100000 coal miners out

BOMBSHELL:
Human Variety

The Rudolf Hess incident was the
dropping of bombsheH into the
moors of Scotland which went up
with a louder explosion than any OF
the tons of TINT that Hitler's aviators
had yet sent across the channel.
Imaginations ran riot-the house
of commons was in a dither-more
than 20 basic theories we're adj
vanced to explain why Hess fled
Germany in an airplane and
dropped to earth in a parachute,
and with the Interviewing and vari-
atoms of these, one had several
thousand stories to choose from.
To list the British theories and
those of neutrals would be futile be-
cause they were not only limited by
the imaginations of their creators.
To list the German explanations
also would be futile because they
obviously were the propaganda out
bursts of government whose nose
was temporarily out of joint.
Outside of this, all was specula-
ton, all was guesswork, but the
guessers, most of them being paid at
so much word, let themselves go
and endless columns were printed.
Yet the story was not being "over-
played''-most thinking newspaper
men being at loss for earlier COM
parsons in journalistic history,
which, one must recall, doesn't go
far back when history is considered.
But outside Of the type of story
that history presented in the Middle
Ages and during the days of Caesar
and Hannibal, and Anthony and
Cleopatra, and Cassius and Brutus,
and Helen of Troy, Hess flight was
unique.
Most newspaper commentators
were willing to call it the biggest
story in centuries and let it 60 at
that. They wagged their heads and
said, what if Cordell Hull were to
fly to Germany, or what if it had
been the other way over the chan
mel and Anthony Eden had made
the trip?"
This was enough to settle the point
as to the magnitude of the news to
their own satisfaction, anyway.

.PRIORITIES:
And OPM

A new difficulty in the U. S. ham
ding of defense work doomed when
William S. Knudsen, motor official
and head of OPM, seemed to take
as a personal issue the question Of
taking priorities out of his hands
and giving them to special organi-
cation answerable only to the army
and navy chiefs.
Knudsen was quoted as saying
that he would quit if the plan went
through.
Thus the question of priorities lift
ed its head as vital defense issue,
further complicating the picture.
Priorities were becoming a very
real issue in business, also, many
manufacturers finding that this one
question might easily keep them
from success or failure in carrying
out contracts. The right to a prior
ity of delivery of machine tools
might alone answer an entire ques-
ton of manufacture.
Knudsen took the attitude that

brought personal considerations and
personal safety to the fore. It was
pointed out:
q. Hess had evidently wanted to
escape Germany for some reason
for he was practically under q de-
tainment sentence by Killers hav-
ing grounded him.
b. II his reason for escape was
sound, then to pick out spot where
ne would be utterly safe from retri-
button, England was the one and
only spot in the world.
c. II personal safety was his mo-
tive, then an unacceptable parallel
was that something must have been
wrong with the unity Of the Maxi
party Of which he was No. 8 fuehrer.
This was enough explanation for
British serenity over the incident,
also for German perturbation. It
was significant that most German
dispatches covered these three
points.
Point No. was covered when
Hitler announced Hess was crazy
and had been detained for his own
safety. No. 2, that he should select
England, Germans explained by say
ing that the nature Of his insanity
was that he believed that he, single
handed, could bring about peace.
Point No. 3 was handled by a
straight-out denial that anything
was wrong with the Nazi party.
Hess was '.good Nazi but crazy"
Painted Toenails
Whether crazy or not, when they
took on his shoe and sock to attend

to have painted toenails, hardly the

VICHY:
A Netu Role

More and more it was becoming
apparent that newest German prop
uganda was to convince the world,
especially the United States, Of one
fact-that the war was over and
Germany was about to undertake
the difficult task Of reconstruction.
In effect the story to Gas one Ger
man writer put it) ''poor daddy
Roosevelt" was this:
"Al British have been chased
from the European continent except
at Gibraltar.
Thus Germany's prime objective
has been achieved. We shall now
try to cement these 300, 000, 900 peo-
pie into one force, working for Ger
many.
with this force we shall confront
the United States and defeated
Britain"
First move in the .'war is now over
game" was to tighten, somewhat,
the armistice terms for France
and to ask deeper collaboration.
This, according to dispatches,
Vichy accepted unanimously.
The German plan called for the
return of some prisoners Of war,
the raising Of the line between oc-
cupied and unoccupied France, and
a list of demands ON the French for
cooperation which might never be
made public.
Most observers believed that Ger
many, in order to get and hold the
Mediterranean, would give almost
any concession to beaten France to
grab the French fleet, but this did
not appear on the surface as a
condition.
Why a Change?
What did change Vichy's role in
the world? Up to that moment the
world had pictured Vichy and I'M
occupied France as a saddened,
hungry nation, bled white by the
Nazis, and hoping against hope for
the day when a British victory
would return the country to peace,
prosperity and freedom.
Now the world had to picture
France which had further surren-
dered, which was sending Darlan to
repeated close and secret confer
ences with a thigh Nazi authority"
and. which was prepared to tell the
United States, in effect, just what
the Germans were claiming:
''The war is over, Europe now is
dominated by Germany, and France
is going to collaborate politically
and socially, to see what she can
gain for herself in the reorganiza-
ton Of Europe. If you 60 into the
war on the side of Britain you are
against, not for u.s.

DRAFT:
Bars Lifted

OF extreme import was the deci-
sion of congress to lift all bans to
the size of the army or to the ques-
ton of selective service for any pur-
pose for which it might be used in
the national defense.
Also vital was the decision imme-
diately to classify the 10,000,00
young men still unclassified in the
first call, and to set up the second
call for an early date, probably in
July. 5t
Two things were highly likely as
resultant the draft would be
used to call men of a younger age
than before, and that it would also
be used to hunt out missing Inks
among the skilled trades for use in
defense industry.
The first eventuality naturally
would follow the report Of army
chiefs after a few months expert
ence with draftees that the younger
men were far more adaptable than
the older, and could take their train
ing quicker and better.
The second resulted from the
realization that many men in the
uniform would be much more pro-
ductive to defense in shipyards or
munitions plants and that the CLASH
fication lists, If turned over to de-
tense production men might result
in discovery of these facts before
the uniform was donned.
The lifting of any ban on the size
Of the army tended to indicate that
there was justification for the grow
ing belief that the end of a calendar
year would not very likely mean
the end of mans military service,
under present conditions.

 Another speaker declared that the coal industry is still facing the problem of bringing into New Eng land in the final four months of this year 100000 tons more Of bituminous coal than was used here last year.
 The three speakers-J. c. Rich- dale. prominent oil company exe- cutIve: David H. Howie, director of Gasoline Conservation in Mass achusetts, and Richard L. Bowditch, president, c. H. Sprague & Sons company, all of Boston, agreed in stating that the six New England states are not as yet assured of the required supply of petroleum prod- ucts and bitumlnous coal neces- sary to carry homes and indus tries through the coming winter in q normal manner.
 Mr. Rlchdale declared that every where appear in public someone asks me if I really think there is any danger of a gasoline shortage. The truth is I am not much wor- ried about gasoline but ! am deep- iy concerned about fiel oil to heat our homes and keep our indus tries going at top speed"
