BENTON HARBOR, Mich,
May 22-(P)-The government
order requiring round-trip loads
for trucks drew a vigorous pro-
test today from representatives
o, southwestern Michigan's fruit
interests.

reaches consumer centers by
truck, he said.
The office of defense trans
portation, in a rubber saving
move, has ordered trucks oper-
ating beyond a l5-mile radius
to carry full loads one way and
at least rs per cent loads on re-
turn trips.

In q letter to Mr.. Wallace, Martin

demands the discontinuance of the
Dies Committee and the removal Of

RIO DE JANEIRO, April ST
the police hadn't caught him, love
would have ended, sooner or later,
the career of Nils Christensen, the
Dane now interned somewhere in
Brazil as Nazi spy.
When Christensen, who Is alleged
to have headed the Nazi Gestapo in
Sac Paulo, vowed loyalty to the Nazis
the Gestapo also exacted a promise
of chastity. Hardly chivalrous, per-
haps, but the Gestapo wanted no
women auxiliaries learning the sec
rets of its agents. So, under orders,
Christensen broke his engagement
to a f1axen-haired fraulein in
Germany.
But the best laid plans of mice and
Gestapo theorists fall foul of Dan
Cupid, who turks among the conical
hills Of Rio.
Christensen fell for a glowing
eyed Brazilian girl named Ondina.
That is Greek for wave length.
Being a radio expert, he caught her

A housing official, questioned by
The Star claimed q priority order

it wasn't high enough to do much
good.
The demountable housing pro-
gram was designed to relieve those
defense areas where the housing
shortage is most acute. 1t Yves de-
signed to meet the most urgent type
of need. The President allotted the
funds presumably to obviate the de-

tive channels. But, in the nearly
three months since money became
available, contracts actually have
been signed with only 4 of nearly
so contractors holding Government
letters of intent" Even fewer
proceed orders" have been issued.
Blame Hard to Place.
That the demountable- prefabri-
Gated program is currently "a mess"
is admitted by all concerned. Just
where the blame should be placed is
hard to determine. The Federal
Works Agency handled it until the
President took housing away from
Federal Works in the Government
housing consolidation order which
set up the National Housing Agency.
The Federal Works Agency says
the program was in good shape"
with work about to proceed, when
it was turned over to the National
Housing Agency, and it places blame
for the delay on the Federal Pub
lie Housing Authority formerly
U. s. H. A. which inherited "the
baby" after the consolidation.
A spokesman for the Federal Pub

gram was badly muddled when his
agency got 1t, that only about
dozen OF the nearly so contractors

buying houses before sites had been
obtained on which to put them. The
program, he added, is in better
shape now and he is trying to make

indicates a total of from $4,000
to lbs, 900 killed, wounded and
captured. Russian concentration
on northern offensives would be
likely TO drain Nazi reserves from
the south, where observers ex-
pect Adolf Hitler to try to CEN
ter his spring operations0
Sharp fighting also was reported
on the southern front, where the
Soviet Information Bureau said the
Germans had hurled fresh infantry
reinforcements into unsuccessful
counterattacks which cost them
more than 200 killed. The Russians
claimed local successes in various
other sectors.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Manufacture
of whisky, gin and other beverage
spirits was ordered halted by No
vember l, but the Nation was ad-
vised today there was no threat of a
hard drink drought.
Matthew j. MacNamara of the
War Production Boards whisky con-

tional Alcohol Beverage Control As
sociation that by November l all of
the Nations 1913 distilleries would
be converted to the production of
war alcohol to meet a requirement
for 476,000, 900 gallons next year.
He explained that more than half
OF that amount would be needed to
make synthetic rubber-butadiene
and the balance would be used to
produce srnokeless powder and for
other essential military and civilian
uses.
He said war alcohol has been
turned out for 10 months by % dis
tilleries, but that others lack proper
equipment. Grain alcohol produc-
ers, he said. would be called on to
bear the greatest share of producing
war alcohol
Mr.. MacNamara said there was
enough distilled spirits stored in
warehouses to tide over the tipplers
for five years. stocks amounting to
$50, 100000 gallons-mainly burbon
and rye whisky.
