will handle the lend-lease appropri- atIon.
 Administration congressional lead- CTS are confident that they will not have to contend with c serious ef- fort to bar the Soviet Union from aid under future lend-lease appro- priations. Even if the Red Army were excluded from the benefits of the new bill, 1t would be possible to give the Soviet Union from last years British cash orders and the lend-lease appropriation of last March as much war material aS London and Washington could agree to spare.
 Colleague Of Wheeler
 Sen. James E. Murray, D.. Mont, whose colleague, Ben. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, is the leader of antt-administration forces, denounc- ed suggestions that the Soviet Union should be excluded from lend-lease assistance. Murray said aid to tho Red Army was the most urgent cur rent problem of the Denlocracies.
 Tt would be absurd" he continu- cd, "to withhold lend-lease aSsist- ance from the Soviet Union. The Russians have performed the greas- est service for protection of Demo. cracy yet performed in this war. It would be criminal for us to with. hold our greatest possible assistance.

(Continued from Page D as e memento of fracture she re. ceived a month ago. Jean Gabon the he-man of the Parisian screen escorted her, limping, from tho brawl.
 By now tables were overturned Fidler's coffee was decorating his shirt front. His wife was screaming Blood was squirting from Hymns eai lobe and a dozen men were grappline with the fighters. The scene re- sembled the riot of stunt men in the night club sequence, of many a Flynn movie.
 Band stops Fight
 The manager was about to call the cops, when Phil Ohman's band struck up "The Star Spangled Ban- ner" and all hands stood at atten- ton, dribbling blood, sweat, and rose buds from the overturned vases of one of Hollywood's most expensive urinkries.
 The gladiators retired to pose for photographs and issue statements. Fidler said he had received two blows from Flynn, with never chance to land one of his own because by islanders pinned back his arms. He said the fight was a continuation of a personal grudge and had noth- ing to do with his recent testimony before a senatorial committee m- vestigating the movies.
 "T.he lies he told the senators, ex- plain why hit him." Flynn insisted, in recalling Fidler's testimony that he once had been offered $2500 bribe to give a movie good review on the air. He told just one lie too many. That's why went up to him, took his chin in one hand and slapped him with the other. He wasn't worth my fist"
 Fidler said he would confer today with Attorneys zagon and Jerry Giesler concerning a law suit. Flynn, nursing his bandaged ear, said he feared a doc might have to sew 1t up. Then he, too, he said, will have e word with the lawyers.

CONVICT TAKES
 HIS LIFE IN CELL

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. a. tUP) -- All was quiet today in the Nebraska State Penitentiary cell blocks be- cause Harold Malinberg was dead, He finally committed suicide to es- cape his conscience, laden with the memory of the night in 1884 when he shot and killed Russell Goodwin, a Genoa, Neb., salesman who gave the 27-year-old Des Moines, Iowa, hitchhiker a ride.
 Warden Nell Olson said that Malmberg, serving a life sentence, every night saw visions of Goodwin entering his cell seeking vengeance. Then he would scream that he hadn't meant to murder him, that he would do anything to atone fol his crime. He screamed every night for seven years. Olson said that Malmberg committed suicide by drinking a poisonous film develop ing fluid apparently taken from the prisons photographic studio.

The effort to develop sentiment against aiding Russia sounds sus- picious, as though 1t were inStigated by Germany"
 Sen. Walter ?. George, D., 0a., who surrendered the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairmanship to head the committee on finance, predicted that the Impending crisis" on the Russian front would convince Congress that aid to the Soviet Union was essential. George did not foresee any real legislative difficulty in the way or the lend lease bill with respect to the Soviet Union or otherwise.
 Public VIII Not Know
 The public will know nothing of the arrangements between Great Britain and the United States whereby airplaneS, tanks and other arms destined for one or the other of those powers will be diverted to the Soviet Union. But some inform. ation of that kind may he trans. mitted to Congress in confidence and in event Mr. Roosevelt intends to inform key members of Congress in some detail regarding actual de- fense production during discussion of the new lefld.lease bill. If word reached the capitol that the admin istration contemplated large diver sioas to the Soviet Union of war machines originally intended for the United States Army, the political repercussions might be considerable.
 Partly for that reason and partly because of reports from w. Averell Hartman, head of the United States armaments mission to Moscow, 1t appears that the Soviet Unions re- armament will be largely at the ex. penSe of the British army and Royal Air Force. Hartman is quoted In dispatches from London that the British people are much more Q. ware of the gravity Of the Soviet Union situation than are the people here. Under those conditions, 1t probably would be politically more feasible for British authorities to waive prior rights to war machines than for MT. Roosevelt to do SO.

1 join directly in operations against Russia because of widespread syEli- pathy among Bulgarians for the Russian cause.
 "A vast majority of Bulgarians," 1" he said, probably over % per cent are resolutely against the policy of the present Fascist government. That's why King Boris does not dare to participate in Germany'S fight against Russia"
 Todoroff predicted that if Bul- garia attacks Turkey numerous de- sertions and lnutinies will occur in the Bulgarian army.
 "It is not true," he said, That the whole army Is Germanophile. Only a small number of officers fa- vor Germany's cause. The spirit of resistance which is manifesting It. self throughout the country also exists in the army"
 He said he regarded Bulgaria not as German ally but, for all prac- toical purposes, Naz-occupied coun- trV
