The House Appropria tions Com
mittee has voted against creation
of the Army Specialist Corps Of
uniformed civil employees which
President Roosevelt authorized Feb
ruary 26
The committee struck from the
emergency appropriation bill a
$2,218,O00 ALLEGATION for the corps,
saying it opposed "a quasi-military
setup" Under the Presidents order
members of the corps, which would
number $3.50 by July l, would be
paid from 81 300 to $4,000 a year
Such persons either should be
taken into the Army in the manner
prescribed by law, employed in a
contract capacity somewhat after
the procedure applying to contract
surgeons or employed in the usual
way as civilians and as a part of the
civilian forces engaged with various
branches or services" the commit

CHUNGKING. March 27.-A
major battle in Western Shansi
Province was foreshadowed today
by Chinese reporting that thousands

Many towns in Shansi were re-
ported under day-long air raid
alarms yesterday.
Other japanese forces were re-
ported moving down out of Northern

BERN, March 27.-Jacques Kell-
ner, owner of Frances Body by
Fisher" the Kellner automobile
body factory, was condemned to
death on March IS by the special
tribunal of the German occupational
troops in Paris. M. Kellner was ac-
cused of having in his possession a
trunk containing a radio transmitter

At the trial M. Kellner's defense
insisted that the trunk. when it was
confded to him by a friend. did not
contain the transmitter.
M. Kellner, it is said, had strongly
opposed Nazi demands that his plant
work for Germany. Marshal Petain
appointed the convicted man COM

1t is not known here whether M.
Kellner has yet been-executed, as
German military prisons are as

Gandhi and Cripps
Confer 7 Hours on
Indian Autonomy
MosIem League Group
Meets for Study Of
British Proposals
By the Associated Press.

NEW DELHI, India. March 27.
-Mohandas K. Gandhi, Indian
leader, met this afternoon with
Sir Stafford Cripps, Britain's
special emisSary.
The little nationalist leader came
here from his humble retreat in
Wardha to confer with Sir Stafford,
entrusted by the British war cabi-
net with seeking unanimous Indian
acceptance of Britain's proposals
for greater autonomy for India
and Indian support for Britain's war
effort.
Gandhi's talk with Sir Stafford
lasted two hours and 10 minutes. 1t
was the longest the Briton has had
so far with any of the several un-
official Indian leaders he has met.
The Indian leader was attired In
his customary loin cloth, with a
shawl draped around his shoulders
He arrived alone by automobile. and
was greeted warmly by Sir Stafford
At the same time the working
committee of the Moslem League
met to consider the British pro-
posals as communicated to its
leader, Mohamed Ali Jinnah.
Congress party circles expressed
belief a frank exchange of ideas
between Cripps and Gandhi might
speed deliberations of the party's
Working Committee, which will con.
slider the proposals Sunday.
While details of the British plan
remained secret, there was a general
feeling in political quarters that the
leaders Of both the Congress Party
and the Moslem League had found
the fundamental principles salts
factory.
The working parties of the two
committees, 1t was believed, probably
will be concerned chiefly with sug-
gesting adjustments which might
prove helpful in the practical ex.
ecution of these principles.
