with the 10-cent store collar, she
might have been somebody's cook.
The locker key she gave you,
hung on tough elastic, was strictly
unitarian. And the gray swim
suit might have been designed for
the inmates of a penitentiary.
Those swim suits had made a
philosopher out of Sarah. Her
eyes twinkled as she showed them
across the counter. and plunked
down the locker keys. You might

Well, some of those slum kids
were a sight happier than some
rich ones she knew, Sarah re-
fierted grimly. Happier than
small Patsy. Leading warmer,
more noisy and normal lives.
Slum kids could tag after their

Patsy, though, was an only

Ger of Oscar Davis, his white former
landlord in Pittsylvania County, Va,

defendant, said a stay was sought to
permit a new appeal to the Supreme
Court which now is in recess until
next October A review was denied
by the Supreme Court May 4.

appeal that he was being deprived
of life and liberty without due pro-
cess of law because non-payers of
poll taxes were barred from the
grand jury which indicted him and
the jury which tried him in 1910.
Mr.. Finnerty said there would be

Safe Conduct Pledge
For Swedish Vessels
Disclosed by Legation
U.S.. Officials Admit 'Tocit
Approval Of Shipments
From American Ports
B, tht Associated Press.

Sweden has an agreement with
the principal belligerents under
which she is permitted to pass
through the blockade to its home
port of Gothenburg five commercial
ships a month and one tanker every
three months, Government and
Swedish Legation officials said today.
The safe conduct" agreements
between the European neutral and
Great Britain, the United States and
Germany were disclosed in connec-
ton with reports that two Swedish
merchant ships had arrived at
Gothenburg recently with cargoes
of oil cake from South American
ports.
cials preferred to call the arrange
ment one involving the granting of
''tacit approval" by this country OF
SWedish-bound Z IN ipme s from
American ports. Swedish Legation
officials say it's the same as safe
| conduct" since the belligerents are
informed of the nature of cargo and
exact course Of each ship and they
promise not to sink them.
British and American officials
check the cargoes before they leave
this side of the Atlantic. Germany
makes another check on the other
side.
Swedish officials said four out OF
five monthly sailings leave South
American ports and the. fifth from
the United States. The tanker goes
from Gulf port.
Due to some complications
which were not explained, however
Legation officials said the sailings
had not been up the limit allowed
for some time. and that it had been
two or three months since a ship has
cleared a United States port for
Gothenburg. They expected one
from a domestic port soon, though
we could use more than five
ships a month said one Legation
official when asked whether this
number was SUFFICIENT to take care ot
essential Swedish needs.

Caribbean Shipments
Held Key 10 Larger
u. 5. Sugar Ration
OPA Study Will Show
II Moderate Increase
Con Be Ordered

Hope for more sugar was held out
to America yesterday by the Office of
Price Administration in announcing
a study to determine whether pros
poets for future supplies will make
possible a moderate" increase in the
sugar ration
Final decision on an increase will
depend on prospects for shipments
of sugar from Puerto Rico and Cuba
during the coming six months. and
will be influenced by additional in
formation now becoming available
on actual distribution under ration
ing. OPA said.
While sugar stocks now in the
United States are greater than
counted on. officials denied fatty
they are sufficient to justify increas-
ing the ration. They declared the
invisible" supply in the hands Of
consumers is so per cent less than a
year ago, and sugar stocks on hand
are a third under the total at the
same time in l94l.
S0iIiOoCAu supply ls heys
The real question" officials said,
lis how much sugar is going TO be
brought in from the Caribbean area
Receipts were fairly good in April
and May. If we can safely depend
on a continuation of this improved
situation. we will feel justified in
lberalizing the sugar ration without
danger of creating new shortage
that will require a later pinching
down of the ration to below even
present levels"
Information is being received. it
was said, which will furnish a more
reliable estimate OF consumption un-
der the rationing program than has
been possible before.
OPA charged that recent reports
of bulging sugar warehouses created
distorted" picture of our available
sugar supply. This situation, it was
explained. is caused by the necessity
for unloading sugar ships in South
ern ports not equipped to handle
such volume. Substantial quantities
of sugar are being shipped to such
large areas as New York City while
others are moving by rail from
Southern ports instead of directly
from the Caribbean by boat as in
normal times.
Inventories Reduced.
A factor which makes the supply
Of sugar appear larger, OPA stated,
is that all distributors. wholesalers
as we'll as retailers, due to rationing
are carrying much smaller inventor
les than in normal times The
household larder contains less than
before rationing Sugar normally
found in this invisible" storage now
fills up commercial storage space
but does not mean the whole stock
is larger.
Storage of sugar. due to these abb
normal factors, is becoming a grow
ing problem, it was stated.

LONDON, June 27.-The NaZiS
are understood to be attempting
to persuade Leopold. King of
the BelgianS, to take a more ac-
tive political role which the
monarch, so far, has fatty re-
fused.
According to one account. German
Foreign Minister joachim Won Rib
bentrop offered to negotiate a peace.
providing the King would appoint
a new government headed by the
rexiSt leader, Leon Degrelle, and
sign a declaration joining the Axis
crusade" against Communism.
Such a peace presumably would
leave Belgian territory intact and
perhaps provide for the annexation
of the Dutch province Of Maritime
Flanders, on the south side of the
Scheldt estuary. The NaziS, of
course, insist on customs and eco
nomic union with the Reich. which
would mean continued exploitation
The King is reported to have
refused to discuss the proposals and
remains prisoner at Laeren Palace
near Brussels, under guard Of Nazi
sentries. The Germans are said
to feel that the Kings attitude is
the backbone of Belgian passive re-
sistance
Meanwhile. the German con-
trolled Brussels press is attempting
to convince the Belgians Of a Ger
man agreement" with Leopold 1t
is unable to make headway. however
as long as Leopold refuses any pub
