LONDON, Sept. 9-Both Britain
and the United States will have to
make further sacrifices in the war
against Germany. Prime Minister
Churchill said today, declaring that
Americans would have to curtail
further their civilian consumption.
I'VE must be prepared for serious
sacrifices in the munitions field in
order to meet the needs of Russia,
he said. The utmost exertions and
energy will therefore be required
of all concerned in production in
order not only to help Russia, but in
order to fill gaps which must now
be opened in our own longed-for
and at last arriving supply.
THE flow of our own production
in this country and in our own
Empire is still rising. 1t will reach
the full flood in the third year of
the war, when our factories are
completed and come into bearing
I IF the United States are to fulfill
the task they are setting themselves,
large installations will have to be
set up or converted and there will
have to be further curtailment Of
civilian consumption over there.
1--WE must ourselves expect a
definite reduction in the importation
of supplies from America upon
which we had counted. Within
certain limits we are prepared to
accept those facts and their conse-
uuences. ."

Cancellation Meetinq
Set for Tomorrow
In Trucking Strike
U. S. Mediator Arrunees
Conference With Both
Parties to Controversy
Earlier Story on Page AID

Strikers and truck owners in
volved in the District trucking strike
will get together for a conciliation
conference at 10 am. tomorrow.
This announcement was made late
this Afternoon by Frank j. Sheehan,
Federal labor conciliator, who pr
ranged the meeting. Mr.. Sheehan
brought the disputants together last
night for their first meeting since
the truckers union walked out de-
manding wage increases.
Meanwhile, Chairman Randolph
of the House District Committee said
he planned to make an effort to bring
about settlement of the dispute that
has confronted Washington with a
complete stoppage of railroadi
freight.
Representative Randolph pro-
posed a conference of union repre-
sentatives of the striking truckers
and their employers, himself and
Chairman McCarran of the Senate
District Committee.
Threatens ID. c. Lifeline"
The walkout of truck drivers, Mr.
Randolph said, is threatening the
lifeline of the Nations Capital
and he believes it is time that heads
of both of the Senate and House
District Committees step out of
their customary legislative roles to
aid in move toward settlement OF
the strike.
He explained he had made an
effort earlier in the day to confer
with Senator McCarran to learn
whether the Senator would favor
such conference. Mr.. Randolph
was told the Senator was out of the
city and would not return until to-
morrow morning.
Il had felt that a conference with
both contesting parties represented
might be productive of bringing
about an expeditions settlement OF
the dispute" Mr.. Randolph said.
'I don't know at this time what
the reaction of Senator McCarran
might be to my proposal. However,
if the strike continues 1 will con-
tact Senator McCarran without fail
in the morning and place my propo-
sition before him.
Wants Joint Action.
THE subject is one, 1 believe,
that should be approached by both
the chairman of the Senate and
House District Committees working
together rather than for one of us
to proceed alone.
Ordinarily such a matter would
be handled through other channels,
but I feel that the defense angle
enters into the picture since the
needed operation of business in this
period of emergency is impaired.
Therefore, it seems to me we CHAIR
men of the Senate and House Dis
trict Committees have an obliga-
ton to use our Offices, if necessary,
to bring together the oontesting
parties when others fail"

from Nazi prison camps more than
a year ago and since have wandered
forlornly through the hidden by
ways of Europe have been brought
back to Britain by the Spitzbergen
expedition and will join the Free
French forces of Gen. De Gaulle.
Details of their adventures and
of how they met the Canadian force
which rescued them were shrouded

made known:
The Frenchmen were captured by
the Germans during the Flanders
campaign.
I'VE made our escape from Ger
man camps in drihbles and met
later" said young officer who once
worked in Paris business office.
I'VE knew how the war was going
and about the Vichy situation, and
we all vowed to join the Free
French and fight on against the
NaZis."
With tears of joy the ragged,
bearded men recognized the Brit
ish ship and went out to meet it.
Some leaned from their small
boats to caress the warship's sides.
A few tried to sing God Save the
King" but choked with emotion.
The Canadians who occupied
Spitsbergen gave the French some
Canadian boots and uniforms to
replace the civilian rags they wore.
Stroking his new shirt, q captain
who once commanded a tank bat
talon exclaimed:
For IA months we were dead
men: now Canada and Britain have
given us a second life.

Earlier Story on Page ALL
BY ]. A. O'Leary.

Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota told a Senate subcommittee
this afternoon that "a No. l pro-
ducer of pictures" was the authority
for his chcarge that some alleged
propaganda motion pict0res have
been made at the request of Gov
ernment officials. He refused to
name the producer
Senator Nye also sought to show
that the moving picture industry
has a financial interest in English
victory.
He contended the margin of profit
of some American film companies
is the proceeds from the sale Of
their pictures in Great Britain.
"A leading Wall Street invest
ment house, Goodbody Il Co."
Senator Nye testified, within very
recent months made study of NOV
ing picture industries and reported
to its clients quite directly that II
Britain lost this war a number of
the leading motion picture COM
panies would be wiped out"
Pressed by Senator Mcfarland,
Democrat, of Arizona, TO name the
producer who made the propaganda
charge, Senator Nye said he would
not give it at this time. because he
did not want to compromise the man
and assumed he would testify later.
I'VE will waive his compromise"
interrupted Wendell L. Willkie,
counsel for the motion picture in
dustry, in the hearings which began
today to determine whether the
Interstate Commerce Committee
should ask the Senate to pass the
Nye resolution for an investigation
Of alleged war propaganda in the
movies.
To Call Producer.
Senator Clark, Idaho, subcommit-
tee chairman, told Mr.. Willkie the
committee would call the person re-
ferred to by Senator Nye in due time.
Mr. Willkie at the outset of the
hearings had been denied a request
to cross-eXamine witnesses, but VOL
unfairly offered this afternoon to
furnish cost sheets of motion pic
ture production, after Senator Nye
had predicted the committee would
have difficulty in "ascertaining the
cost of producing propaganda pic
ture as against feature picture"
Senator Nye said the claim would
be made on the other side that
propaganda pictures are being made
to meet public demand. Senator
Nye contended. however. that there
is evidence of producer and theater
complaints that they are not box
Office successes.
Chairman Clark interrupted to ask
Senator Nye if he meant there may
have been "f1ctious ALLEGATION of
costs to propaganda pictures,
and the North Dakotan said that
representation had been made to
him.
Willkie Promises Cost Sheets.
We'll, we will try to get the cost
sheets. but 1 don't know" Chair
man Clark observed.
When Mr.. Willkie hastened TO
assure him the committee can have
any cost sheets it desires, Senator
Clark said he hoped a corps of ac-
countants would be available to ex-
plain them.
That won't be necessary" Mr..
Willkie replied. They will be very
simple"
