WASHINGTCN-How closely the America First Committee worked behind the scenes with the Senate isolationists in opposing the lend lease bill is indicated by some of the committees recent correspond- ence.
 For instance, Mrs. Burton K. Wheeler, wife of the Senator and a leading member of the America First Committee, received a telegram last month from Robert L. Bliss, one of the committees staff, in which he said:
 Please have Senator Wheeler send congratulatory wire to Tudor Gardi- ner, Jr., Chairman America First Committee meeting Symphony Hall Boston pm. General Hugh Johnson speaking. (signed) Robert [. Bliss
 One of the most interesting efforts to influence public opinion was in regard to The March of Time, the newsreel produced by Henry R. Luce, publisher of Time, Life, and For tune. Apparently the America First Committee planned to crack down on The March of Time through Will Hays, czar of the motion picture in- dustry; for on February 5 memo signed "R. L. B." (presumably Rob- ert L. Bliss) was addressed to pr. Dwyer and R. Douglas Stuart of the America First staff, as follows:
 My idea on the March of Time letter for Will Hays would be some thing along the lin that the March of Time is presented as a feature news editorial service to moviegoers. Many people. depending on the au- thenticity of what they see and the deductions drawn in the editorial izing by the commentator. can be misled, and The March of Time is being used at present as dangerous propaganda machine to get us into the war. ...
 s'I'd let loose on this thing and lambast the hell out of it, indicating that it is a profit-making propa- ganda machine for Luce. who evil dently saw that the margin of profit and enterprise in publishing right

Fiery Labor Leader Dies,
 British Home
Tom Mann, SeIf-ProeIaim- ed Communist, Passes
 Away-Lively Career

LONDON, March 13.-Tom Mann, veteran British labor leader, espec- ially of the Communist movement in Great Britain died today at hi home in Grassington, Yorkshire.
 In his tempetuous career he was deported from Germany, France, Belgium and Ireland and barred from the United States. He was jail. ed in Australia and Germany in his younger years and, at the age of 76 when most leaders are content to muse on social and political strife, he went to a London jail.
 He was welcome guest of several trips to the Soviet Union and in 1927 visited China to advise and encourage communists of the Far East.
 Agitator
 Right to the last Mann remained a fiery open-air speaker and agi- tator. Almost every May Day saw him in London addressing Commun- ist demonstrators, his arms waving above the crowd, the red flag of re- volution billowing behind him.
 T am a Communist" he would boast. T am not a Socialist or a Syndicalist. None of those fancy names for me. Just plain Con- muniSt-that's me!'

 Mann also was fond of saying: Revolution is the only way" Yet with his snow-white hair, his rosy cheeks, twinkling eyes and heavy

HITLER'5 MOVING INTO BULGARIA., FOR PURPOSE
 OF DE(0YING BRITISH
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, March l3.-Ger- many's march into Bulgaria con- vinces military observers here that Hitler has decided to discount Mus solini about 100 percent, and him. self take up the task of decoying Britain's forces in the Near East.
 It has been more or less an open secret here that German re- spect for Italian arms has never been too high. There was laughing up sleeves when Field Marshal Goering spent much vacation" time in Italy couple of years ago, before the war started.
 It was assumed the marshal was trying to figure out whether the Italian military forces could perform their appointed task of iecoying large British forces into the Mediterranean zone and hold ing them there, while Germany attacked the British Isles.
 The Italians themselves have long assumed that the first task of their navy was decoy work. During the demonstration of Italian destroyers a few years ago for military attaches, the Italian commanders put on burst of speed, and exclaimed:
 You see, nothing will ever be able to catch us"
 Up until this winter, the Italians had been highly successful as de- coys. They had lured heavy British forces of from quarter to a half- million troops, fully equipped, down into the African deserts. They had kept nearly one-third of the Brit ish fleet in the Mediterranean = including four battleships, possibly six, several airplane carriers, cruis- ers-and many destroyers badly needed to convoy merchant ships off Ireland.
 So long as Mussolini served as a decoy, he served well the grand axis strategy as conceived by Hitler. Since long before the war. this strategy has consisted

 WASHINGTON. March 13. - When the borders of military post or reservation are reached. therein a military au- thority over army morale ends and the all-important cooperation Of civilian authorities and organiza- tions begins.
 I say lin measure" because there are certain things soldier is not permitted to do anywhere, but by and large the theory of Army morale, according to officers in the new morale division. is that soldier seeking recreation or diversion is entitled to do any, thing that civilian can do. The soldier has the added duty of up- holding the dignity and honor 0f his uniform and the service.
 A soldier off duty in a commu- nity where liquor is sold is just as privileged to take drink as is a civilian. If he gets drunk, that is another matter and even if he is not violating the civil laws. he may be violating the Army code.
 Thus, although the Army has not one whit of authority over civil districts around Army camps, and according to morale division officers, doesn't want any--it does want a great deal of cooperation. SEE COMMON AIM
 In the camps and on the Army reservations. the morale division is trying to provide good clean fun for the soldiers off-hours, so there will be no temptation to turn to other channels for diversion. What the morale division hopes for is that the civilian communities near camps will work toward the same end Some of them already are doing that.
 According to reports here, re- ligious. welfare and civic organi- zations in many cities already have jumped into the middle of the problem. In the first place, they are seeing that authorities enforce the liquor laws and those against gambling and prostitu- ton. And they are trying to es- tablish, as an alternative appeal. the same kind of fun that the

IF A CHEST COLD OR COUGHING COLD
DEVELOPS (some colds get by all pre-
cautions) depend on Vicks VaboRub
to relieve miseries. Rub VapoRub on
throat, chest and back and cover
with warmed cloth. VapoRub acts
to bring relief 2 ways at once. 1t
stimulates surface of chest and back
like a warming poultice. At the same
time it releases helpful medicinal
vapors that are breathed direct into
the irritated air passages.
Both Va-tro-nol and VapoRub
have been tested through years of
use in millions of homes. When you
use these two medicines you are not
experimenting, you are not taking
needless chances. Remember: If the
condition of the cold fails to respond
quickly to treatment-or if more
serious trouble is indicated-call
your family physician right away.
IN the meantime be prepared! Get a
bottle Of Vicks Va-tro-nol and a jar
OF Vicks VapoRub today-have
them handy, ready to use.
