End Of Coffee Ration
Depends on Shipping,
Nelson Asserts
Internal Distribution Sole
Problem, Chairman Tells
Inter-Americun Bourd

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Donald M. Nelson told
the Inter- American Coffee Board
today that the War Production
Board would consider raising or
eliminating the coffee ration if ship
ping facilities so improve that sup
plies are ample.
He also told the board every effort
would be made to provide more ship
ping space for coffee and that ship
ments of coffee would continue to
be authorized in as great volume as
cargo space permits.
Nelson's letter was in reply to one
from Chairman Paul G. Daniels in
which the coffee board stressed the
Importance of the coffee industry
to the other Americas and urged
maintenance of shipping facilities.
The coffee board sought assur-
ances from Nelson on these points
O That rationing is solely a
matter of internal distribution;
CD That rationing is not intended
to curtail consumption below levels
of actual and prospective imports; !;
CD That the intent of rationing
is not to reduce imports and that
shipments of coffee will continue to
be authorized as cargo space per-
mits; ....
% That if shipping space i'm
proves, rationing will be raised or
eliminated;
50 That every effort to provide
cargo space for coffee will be made.
Nelson, in his reply confirmed the
boards understanding in every case.

Prominent members .Of both
parties in Congress, from Vice
President Wallace down, today
were trying to explain why the
Republicans came so close to
capturing outright control oi
Congress in Tuesdays elections
The reasons offered for Republican
gains were many and varied. On
one point, however, most leaders
representing both major parties
seemed to agree: The American peo-
pie generally were dissatisfied with
the conduct of the war.
Despite this reaction in the Cap
itol, the Vice President emerged
from White House conference with
President Roosevelt to report that
the Chief Executive was lin excel

Under the circumstances of this
election 1t is miracle that there
was not a Republican House." Mr.
Wallace told reporters after con-

at Is a Godsend for the country
he added, that the Democrats got
as much as they did" He went on
to say that he was mot trying to
create something out of fantasy
asserting his views were baseed on
statistics.
He said that as the total num-
ber of votes decreased in an elec-
ton, the overall percentage ir
Republican votes increases because
"the people who are well to do can
take the time to get to the polls and
the we'll to do are generally Repub-
icans."
Mr.. Wallace pointed out that only
about 26,0OO,O00 persons voted in
Tuesdays election, while the Asso-
ciated Press had estimated that the
vote would total 34,000.0 900 and the
Gallop poll had predicted 10000, 900
The Vice President contended the
Nations young people and labor
generally voted very lightly and
said that more votes from those
groups would have added to the
Democratic strength. He pointed
out that millions of young men are

Franchof Tone Cancels

Franchot Tones agent:
"When Franchot wants to work

The agent, Mike Levy, thus dis

order.
Tone had orally agreed, through
his agent, to work for Warmers at
a salary of 1000 for one picture.
But the wage ceiling prohibits
Tone or any other actor from earn

last year.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Holly
