Britain Negotiates
With Turkey for
New Chrome Pact
Ankoro Attitude Seen
Changed With American
Invasion Of Africa
BY VICTOR GORDON LENNON,
FOREIGN Correspondent of The Star and

FOREIGN Correspondent of The Star and
Chicago Daily News
LONDON, Nov. 3-Negotia tons
are being resumed in Ankara for a
new agreement between Great
Britain and Turkey concerning
Turkish exports of chrome during
1943. During 1912, Britain agreed to
take the total Turkish chrome out
put and it is understood passed on
this vital war raw material to the
United States. That arrangement
was made at a time when Turkey
was under extreme German pres
sure.
AS a sop to the Germans the
Turks agreed that they would de-
liver 10000 tons to Germany next
year if the Germans had delivered
finished war material to Turkey
valued at 100000 Turkish pounds
by the end of this year.
Throughout the German summer
campaign against Russia, and OBJ
serving the apparently perilous po-
sition of the British 9th Army in
Africa, the Turks were unwilling to
take up a stiff attitude toward the
Germans. 1t is understood that the
Turkish attitude has undergone
notable change following the Anglo
American offensives in Africa and
the successful Russian defense on
the Volga and in the Caucasus.
The Turks now recognize that
supplying chrome to Germany is
only calculated to lengthen the war
and they are insisting that Germany
has not performed her part in the
above stated bargain. 49,
Meantime, messages from Ankara

Test Of TubeIess Tire
May Swell Stocks Of
Rubber 100000 Tons
Oil and Automotive
Company Cars Try Out
New War Product.

Promising tests of a tubeless tire
which may add more than 200 1000
tons of high-grade rubber to the Ma
tion's scrap rubber stock pile and
reports of still further perfection of
the tubeless tire process were being
made today by authorities in the
petroleum and automotive industries.
William r. Boyd, jr., chairman of
the Petroleum Industry War Coun-
Gil, disclosed that for more than a
week the tubeless tire has been
tested exhaustively by approximately
1000 oil company cars all over the
Nation. He said the council would
withhold a full report until the end
of December, but the few prelim-
mary checks already have revealed
nothing to disprove the statements
made by the inventor, John B. Nc
Gay of Tulsa.
Conversion Called Simple.
The conversion to the tubeless
discriminating completely existing
inner tubes-ts described as eX-
tremely simple. The only new part
needed Is truck valve stem as
sembly, with washer, to replace the
one on the inner tube.
Mr.. Boyd advised amateurs, how
ever, not to attempt the conversion
for themselves, at least until all
the facts have been obtained from
the oil industry's tests. He pointed
out that several uncertainties re-
main open for more conclusive in
vestigation.
Mr.. McGay, manufacturer of
precision instruments for the oil in
dustry, introduced his tubeless tire
discovery to the War Council, COM
posed of p of the country's leading
oil men, in Chicago on November 9.
Critical Test Conducted.
Since November IL critical tests
of the tubeless tire have been con-
Quoted in all parts of the country
under varied operating conditions.
The 35-mile speed limit and gaso-
line rationing are expected to delay
completion of the tests, which call
for at least 1000 miles per car.
Transportation directors of the
Once of Petroleum Co-ordirator for
War in the country's five petroleum
districts are supervising the tests in
each district.

Confusion on Sugar Cards
Is Clarified by 0PA

To clear away some confusion
among consumers resulting from
the double in value of two sugar
stamps by the Office of Price Ad-
ministration and the creation of a
third as a bonus stamp, the follow
ing explanation is offered:
On June 18 OPA announced that
stamps and would be worth 2
pounds of sugar each instead OF
the customary pound, but that
the stamps would have to last for
four weeks each For example, No
5 would be honored from June q
to July Is and No. from the latter
date to August %.
The action was taken not to give
the consumer more sugar but to
create a slightly larger supply In
| homes and take some pressure from
storage houses. Warehouse facili-
ties are taxed because there is much
less sugar than usual in homes and
retail stores. Due to submarine
warfare. sugar arrives from the
West Indies in bigger gobs," OPA
explains, too.
On July OPA stated that stamp
7, for which no previous commit
ment was made, would be regarded
as a bonus stamp. The supply wa:
somewhat larger than had beer
anticipated, so all consumers were
given the right to collect an extra
i 2 pounds of sugar on No. any
time between July 10 and August %

Return Of 10 Million
To Enemy Alien Firms
is Ruled Illegal
Authorization by Harding
And Coolidge Disputed
bv Justice Proctor

Presidents Harding and Coolidge
illegally authorized the return 10
enemy alien firms of about 10000
600 in profits which were earned
during the World War and which
had been seized by the Govern
ment. Justice James M. Proctor
ruled in District Court yesterday.
The Government really is out
only $4,000, 900. however, since an
act of Congress IN 1928 authorized
the return of all but 20 per cent
of such money seized.
The ruling came in the case Of the
Swiss National Insurance Co., Basle.
Switzerland, held to be an enemy
firm, versus the United States. The
Swiss Arm, like q number OF other
enemy alien insurance firms, had
been specially licensed to carry on
business during the war under a
provision OF the Trading With the
Enemy Act Of 1917.
Suit for Accountancy Filed.
Altogether, the Government had
returned 1891 .6l2 to the Swiss COM
pany. But the firm claimed that
the Government should have re-
turned more and 1t filed a suit In
District Court for an accounting Of
money seized by the Government.
The Government then fled coun-
ter-claim for $4,000, a part of the
S331,612 which the Government
claimed had been returned illegally
in the first instance.
The insurance firms defense was
that President Coolidge. who
handled the case, had acted legally
in returning all the money. The
firm relied for support on all the
returns that Presidents Coolidge and
Harding had made under the same
theory of law.
On this, Justice Proctor said in q
memorandum opinion:
Careful consideration has been
given to the long course of admins
trative rulings similar to that which
dictated the allowance of profits to
plaintiffs (the Swiss company. :.
Those rulings all stem from deter
mination OF the claim Of Nord-
Deutsche Insurance Co., June 5,
1922.
Rulings Fail to Persuade.
"1f that was made in error, all
are erroneous. AT most, practices Of
executive officers in administering
legislation can only be persuasive
with court. However firmly estab-
lished, they cannot become q SUBJ
stitute for judicial Judgment. Repe-
titions of a mistake will not act as
corrective or create power lacking
in the statute. Here the statute is
not ambiguous. It's meaning seems
certain and clear. The rulings fail to
persuade"
The figure of $10.0O0,000 that had
been returned by the two Chief Ex-
ecutives was given out by Francis j.
McNamara, assistant to the alien
property custodian in this war. Mr..
Mcnamara personally handled the
Swiss case.
