Continued rom Page D South Main and East Main street near the Brown building. The elder ly man was thrown to the ground and suffered injuries resulting in his death.
 D0wnpOur Of Raln
 On the night of the accident, the coroner states, there was heavy downpour of rain and Hoffman was travelling ct about eight miles an hour. Shortly before Hoffman reached the crosswalk in his car, the deceased started across the inc tersection with the traffic lights in his favor. Hoffman had Q red light, the coroner added, and when the deceased was half way across, the light changed and Trosino proceed ed, the coroner asserts, as was his right.
 Another car was waiting for the light to change and when 1t did change, the driver waited until Tro- sino could reach the sidewalk. Hosf- mans car proceeded and came to the crosswalk after the light had turned green in his favor but he did not stop.
 The coroner states that IIoff- mans automobile passed to the right of the stopped car which was waiting for the deceased to cross, and continued on to the crosswalk.
 Trosino was struck with the right front fender of Hoffman's car and thrown to the ground, Coroner Me- Mfr declared.
 No Regard for Safety
 The finding adds: "Hoffm a n showed Q total disregard for the safety of others in attempting to drive In his intoxicated condition. He failed to pay any attention to pedestrians on the crosswalk, or was in Q condition such that he could not see them. He passed to the right of the standing car at the intersection in violation of the stat- utes and failed to bring his car to Q halt, although he could readily have done SO ct the rate of speed he was traySling, before striking TroSino."
 The coroner said the mere fact that there was heavy rain falling at the time offers no excuse, since Trosino walked for some distance directly across the line of Hoff- mans vision on a well marked and well known croSSwalk at Q busy in- tersection, and directly through the path of headlights on Hoffman's car.
 The coroner declares, T find that said death was caused by the gross and criminal negligence of said Prank M. Hoffman, Jr."

 partment that MT. Roosevelt has arranged for a $l,000,000,000 loan of lend-lease funds to the Soviet Union to be paid back without in- tereSt over a period of ten years, the first repayment to be made five years after the war.
 Stalin's appeal for 8 war of arl- initiation against Germany and his hope that a "second front" would be opened up soon to relieve the Red army.
 Release of a message of felicita- ton from Mir. Roosevelt to the peo- pie of Russia, through President Michail Kalinin of the Soviet cen- tral executive committee. It was the first United States recognition of the revolutionary holiday since 1888.
 The outpouring of American aid and sympathy to Russia was in strik- ing contrast to the attitude during the last two years and to the oc- casion 24 years ago when the United States severed diplomatic relations with the successful revolutionists.
 Litvinovs appointment brought back the memory of the 1883 nego- tiotions here in which he partici- pated, resulting in recognition of the Soviet government. There were some misunderstanding at that time in which Litvinov was involved. par- ticularly regarding repayment of the Russian war loans. But officials were inclined to overlook those mat ters now.
 Loan Arrangements
 The loan arrangements gives the Soviet Union $l ly000, 100000 to draw upon for military equipment, munitions and raw materials. Some of 1t will be repaid in Russian raw materials, which Stalin assured Mir. Roosevelt would be expedited.
 Russia produces furs, magnesium ore. potash, phosphate rock and as- bestos, among other things. In ad- Gition to war supplies the United States will send Russia leather, woolens, cotton and other materials.
 Soviet balances in the United States have been exhausted by cash payments for war materials. Two loans total s40,00O. .OOO, GOO had been made previously against future gold deliveries. Of that sum $l0,000. 900 has been repaid.
 The REC also made a loan colm- mittment of $iOO. .OO0, 900 to be repaid by Russia in raw materials. The Russians have drawn half of that amount.

(Contlnued from Page D weeks ago, vice president of the American Federation of Labor. Bloff, former panderer in Chicago, is west coast representative of the IATSE.
 They were brought to trial ooto- Der 8 for extortlng, according to the indictments, s5b0,000 from LoeW's, Inc; Warner Brothers Pictures, Inc; Paramount Pictures, and Twentieth Century-Fox,
 But Bloff, the only defendant to testify, admitted collecting lover c million dollars" and collateral is- sues, not mentioned In the indict- ment but introduced to show that Browne was involved with Bloff, acc counted for $200,000 more, Federal officials said it was the biggest shakedown on record,
 Tn his summation United States Attorney Matthias P. Correa told the jury:
 "ChlCagO HOOdlunS"
 If these racketeers, these Chi. cago hoodlums, can get to Q place where they can cast their shadows over the lives of l25,000 American workers (the membership of the TATsE) and their families, it cons stltutes in my mind, gentlemen, & national scandal"
 After the Jury had announced It's verdict, Judge Knox said:
 I'm quite certain your verdict will let fresh air into a lot of homes in this country. Certainly that is some- thing that is eminently desirable.
 Nov, l don't believe that there Is @ firIner believer in labor unions than myself, But all labor will doubtless be glad to have the unions purged of such individuals as these, If union labor is to endure, 1t must rid itself of men who stand ready to sell out labor when it suits their purpose"
 By convictlng Browne and Bioff, the jury rejected several theories eXpostulated by judge and defense attorney-under which they might have been freed,
 Judge Knox told the jury in his charge that it could not convict Browne If 1t believed he had only collected $200,000 from New York theater operators to Iorestall pro- jectionistS' strikes, Evidence regard Ing the s200, ,000 was introduced only to nullify Bioff's testimony that Browne knew nothing of Q shake. down,
 Again, Judge Knox said, the jury could not convict them if it decided that they had been paid by the cons panies to keep them from doing their duties by the union, Q theory ct which the defense had hinted,
 Another defense contention was that Btotf was no more than 6 mes. senger boy for the companies, and BioH had testified that Nicholas M. Schenek, president of Loews, Inc, had asked him to carry big sums of cash to his brother, Joseph M. Schenck, to be used in removing the troubles the movie industry was Suf- fering through legislation"
 Bioffs attorneys had tried to por- tray him as the scapegoat of Q deal buried beneath mass of testimony but he had been caught n SO many contradictions on the witness stand that Judge Knox asked him whether he knew the value of an oath, 1ioff said he did.
 Witnesses = including Nicholas Schenck, Harry M. and Albert War; ner of Warner Brothers and Austin c. Keough, vice president of Para mount, had testified that Bioff had sneered at such sums as si0,000 and they had paid him as much as S50,- 900 at e time in cash.
 Bioff, they said, had done the cole lecting, but Browne was the power behind his threats.

Japanese attack on the Burma road was imminent and that Thailand would be involved in the opera tion.
 Foreign observers here believed a Japanese attack on the Burma road was imminent and that Thail- and would be involved in the oper- ation.
 They said they believed the cri- tical period would arise after the Japanese emissary Soburo Kurusu has completed his conversations ia Washington and following the five day special session of the Japanese Parliament and the governors con- ference called by Premier Gen. Hi- deki Tojo.
 British Not to Budge
 Responsible British quarters made plain today that Josef Stalin'S pub. lie assertion on the imminence of a second war front against Germany will almost certainly fail to budge the British governments stand on this vital military issue.
 It was said that staetments Of Lord Halifax, ambassador to Wash ington, Lord Moyne, government leader in the House of Lords and others have made plain that Britain has taken stand against any at- tempt ot invade the continent at this stage of the war.
 The government, 1t was said, pre- sumably reached its decision after cold calculation in which 1t bal- anced all the strategic, political and psychological factors. No event has been seen to change those factors, 1t was said.
 Responsible British sources say Britain could not possibly set up a western front on land and at the same time continue to dispatch aid to Russia on the scale promised.
 Nevertheless, 1t was said. Stalin's statement is likely to embarrass Prime Minister winston Churchill. Many persons regarded the state ment as directed over the govern ment's head to the British people. Stalin doubtless knows of the broad dissatisfaction, by mo means confined to left wing circles, regarding Bri- tain's current inactivity in opera tions while Russia fights c desper- ate battle.

 Authoritative sources said the mis- slons are expected to begin "bott supervisory and advisory" opera tions with the British quickly. and to make a thorough study of fu- ture lend-lease requirements which are to be reported to headquarters here.

 The Tran mission will develop rail transportation fron Basra, on the Persian gulf, where American supplies can be landed, to the Cas- plan sea, where they can be trans- shipped by water to Russia. This will involve construction of new rail lines, and improving old facilities The British have indicated, in lend- lease requests, that some 300 Amer ican locomotives and hundreds oi freight cars will be required.

"Young men have been drafted
and industry must fall back on
older workers and the rejects of
the Selective Service Act.
I'm fairness to all, these new
men should he given as stiff a
physical examination as the
army gives. This should he made
before employment because these
men are defective and should be
placed where their defects are
not a menace.

they are not carefully examined,
