nual supply of aluminium was ex-
pected to reach 1,400, 900 900 pounds,
most of which would go into the
expanding aircraft industry.
Civilian requirements. Mr.. Bait
told the committee, have been sup
piled out of scrap for three or four
months.
He expressed the opinion that the
production of aircraft had not suf-
fered from lack of aluminium.
Recently, he added, new heavy
bomber had been developed which
would require twice as much alu-
minum as any previous type.
Mr.. Bait suggested that the Gov
ernment might find 1t necessary to
engage directly in aluminium produc-
ton to increase the supply, especially
if the new-type bomber were put in
large scale production.
AS for automobiles, defense Off
cials said there was "a distinct pos
sibility" of a second 20 per cent cut
in 1912 motor car production. but
added that the proposal was "in the
pure speculation stage"
Such a curtailment, If made neces-
sary by defense demands for mate
rial and plant facilities, would bring
production down to - slightly more
than 100000 units, compared with
this years output of $3.50 ,972 motor
cars. the Associated Press reported
Automobile manufacturers already
have agreed to a request by the
Office of Production Management to
cut production to 4,224, ,252 units for
the model year beginning in August.
Members of the o. P. M. produc-
ton division said that further in
creases in emergency defense pro-
duction, particularly the stepped-ur
bomber plane program advanced by
President Roosevelt, would impose
new strains on machine tool facili-
ties and on supplies Of skilled work
men.
If sharp upswing in defense de-
mands occurred, it was said thai
curtailed manufacture of furnaces
refrigerators, electrically operated
household appliances and other com
modities also might be in order.

High Court Refuses
To Review Conviction
Of Huey Long Aide
Shushon ond Four Others
Lose Fight Involving
Levee Board Fees

The Supreme Court refused today
to review the conviction of Abraham
L. Shushan of New Orleans, one
time lieutenant of Huey P. Long,
and of four others who were SEN
fenced to 30 months in prison and
fined $4,000 in Federal District Court
in Louisiana on charge of using
the mail in a scheme to defraud.
Their conviction was upheld
unanimously by the fifth Federal
Circuit Court of Appeals. The action
of the Supreme Court sustains the
CONVECTION ssssss .ss-.',s,
The Justice Department alleged
that contract was obtained in 1886
with the Board of Levee Commis-
sioners of the Orleans Levee district
to refinance its obligations and that
excess fees were collected from the
board.
Shushan previously had been
president of the Levee Board. His
co-defendants were Robert j. New
man and Norvin T. Harris, jr., New
Orleans bond dealers, who obtained
the contract; Henry ]. Miller, a
public accountant, and Herbert w.
Waguespack, chairman of the Levee
Boards Finance Committee.
The prosecution was one of a
series involving erstwhile associates
of the late Senator Long, which the
Government instituted about two
years ago. The defendants con-
tended they had not been given a
fair trial because it took place "in
the feverish closing days" of a
political campaign and because o.

Goydo Calls Speech Proposal
For Referendum on War

ROME, May IL R).-Virginio
Gayda, authoritative Fascist writer,
today interpreted Herbert Hoover's
Sunday night radio speech as a pro-
posal for a referendum on war and
said 1t confirmed the profound
American discord which has ac-
companied the intervention policy
of the Roosevelt administration.
Gayda wrote in II Giornale
DTtalia that everything proves that
not even a majority" of Americans
favor "the intervention policy of a
few powerful men"
AS far as American aid to Britain
is concerned, he said, "the Axis
has means and forces which cannot
be offset by those of the United
States"
If the United States sends con-
voys, he declared, the Axis would
only begin sinking ships at an even
greater rate.
THE Axis now dominates all the
best equipped and most efficient
European industry and all Euro
pean agricultural territories needed
for its daily bread" he said.

Rx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
VICHY, France, May IL. The
Petain government banned John
Elliott, New York Herald Tribune
correspondent, today from sending
out dispatches for the next 10 days
for his comments on the govern
ment Of which he is q guest and for
having been gravely lacking In that
courtesy which it Is his place to
observe"
In a dispatch yesterday dealing
with the observance of Joan Of Arc
day. Mr.. Elliott wrote, in part:
C'The national day of Joan Of
Arc, Maid of Orleans, who won
an immortal niche in history by
her refusal to collaborate with
the occupying authorities Of her
country, was celebrated with ex-
ceptional fervor in both occupied
and free France today, owing to
the similarity between the cir
cumstances of her time and those
of the present.
Gas the English of the 18th
century (then the occupying au-
thorities) had their Dukes OF
Burgundy and their Cauchons to
do their dirty work for them, so
today the Germans have their
Marcel Deats and Pierre Lavals.
("Only the Joan of the goth
century has yet TO loom on the
horizon. 1t is this national savior
that France today is impatiently
awaiting)
The government said 1t objected
to the article on the ground that 1t
was an attack on the person OF
Chief of State Marshal Henri
Philippe Petain.
Mr.. Elliott, who took the case up
with the American Embassy, said he
had been warned that if there was a
repetition of the offense his punish
ment would be more severe. The
censors objected to the phrasing OF
his article, but he insisted and was
allowed to send it on his own re-
sponsibility.

character as that conducted before
the war. We still import a great
deal more from Germany than we
export to her, as we always have.
In other words, we are still paid in
goods and not in credits.
"All this gossip about Germany
cleaning us out of goods is therefore
baselesS. The main German exports
to us are coal and coke, of which
an industrial country like Sweden
has vital need. Before the war We
got so per cent of our coal from
Britain. Now Germany delivers
with some difficulty about two
thirds of this requirement. The
rest we try to make up for by more
electrification and by increased use
of wood.
