and Harry L. Hopkins, his principal
war supplies adviser, on their trip
to England where they held inti-

on future plans for the United
Nations drive against the Axis.
The two men returned yesterday.
With Secretary of State Hull and
John G. Winant, Ambassador TO
Great Britain, the President had
Gen. Marshall and Mr.. Hopkins as
his guests for lunch at the White
House. 1t marked the first time
that Mr. Roosevelt had seen the
Secretary of State since his return
from a long recuperative vacation
in Florida. Mr.. Hull returned TO
his desk today.
Mr.. Wnant, who has been rest
ing at his New Hampshire home.
Is expected to return to England
soon.
The exact purpose of the Marshall
Hopkins trip was a military secret,

Ben HunId|ey Indicted
False Tire Rationinq
Reports Are Charged
New Cosings Marked
Used to Permit Sale,
Grand Jury Alleges

Hiram Ben Hundley, doing
business as Ben Hundley, Wash
ington tire dealer, today was in
dicted by a special District Court
grand jury, which charged that
he made false and fraudulent
reports to the Government con-
corning the sale of automobile
tires and tubes under rationing
regulations promulgated by the
Office of Price Administration.
The indictment, the first of the
kind returned here, alleges that the
dealer filed false reports with the
District rationing authorities as to
the number of new tires and tubes
which he had in stock; that he
marked new tires with a false
and fraudulent tire inspection
mark" to indicate they they were
used stock and therefore salable
under rationing regulations, and rep
resented that the marks had been
placed on the tires by Government
inspector, and that he sold new
tires and tubes to The Evening Star
Publishing Co., and two taxi con-
Germs, Diamond Service Co. and
Premier Purchasing Co, Inc, rep
resenting on invoices and other
records that the tires we're used.
The marking, according to the
Government, was to establish that
the tires had travelled more than
1000 miles. Under rationing regu-
lations a tire that has travelled less
than 1000 miles is considered new.
The indictment, which is in II
counts, was brought under section
of the criminal code covering the
making of false statements to the
Government. Maximum penalty is a
fine of $4,000 or Imprisonment for
10 years or both.
The Justice Department said this
was the fifth indictment in the
country as whole, based on alleged
violation of tire rationing regula-
tions which went into effect Decem-
Der II. The case was handled for
the department by Robert L. Wright,
a member of the staff Of the Anti
trust Division, in cooperation with
United States Attorney Edward M.
Curran and Assistant United States
Attorney John L. Laskey.

Murtin Refers Three
Resolutions to Special
Committee at Chicago
By GOULD LINCOLN,
Star staff Correspondent,

CHICAGO, April 20.-The Re-
publican National Committee
met here today to formulate its
plans for the coming congress
sional and State elections.
Overshadowing these plans for the
moment, however, is an attempt by
Wendell L. Willkie, the party's presi-
Dental candidate in 1910, and those
who follow him, to commit the COM
mittee and the party to final and
definite rejection of the principle of
iSolationism after the war.
Mr.. Willkie, who is in New York,
was seriously considering the ques-
ton of coming to Chicago to press
this fight. In the meantime, Sim
clair Weeks, Republican national
committeeman from Massachusetts,
and committee treasurer, has been
acting as manager for the Willkie
fight to remove the Republican party
from its old isolationist position.
A resolution drafted by Mr.. Willkie
has been circulated among the men,
bers of the committee and given to
the press to accomplish this end.
Makes Post War Pledge.
1t not only places the National
Committee squarely back of the
country's war effort, but it also
pledges the committee and the party
