THIS ULTIMATUM would
emphasize that failure of Italy
TO surrender would mean an Al
lied refusal 10 deal with any
government under Badoglio in
the future
Although II never has been
confirmed officially, the best
evidence indicates that Italy
has forwarded at least two
peace proposals TO the Allies.
The first is understood 10
have reached Essen h ow er
through a neutral source a few
days after Badogho succeeded
MusSolini. II asked that Italy
be permitted TO revert 10 neu-
trail status, thus denying the
Allies the use Of the Italian
mainland for an assault on Ger
many. II was rejected or mere
ly ignored.
A SECOND proposal was re-
ported 10 have been sent sew
eral DAYS ago. also through neu-
trails. No details of its provisions
are known. Lack Of response
indicated il was equally unac-
ceptable,
MIR. Roosevelt and Churchill
probably will make known their
attitude 10 Italy through a Joint
statement or through a third
party.
The two chiefs OF state also
are expected 10 assess the stu
alton on the Russian front, par
ticularly as 10 whether the Ger
man retreat was due solely TO
Russian pressure or a desire 10
shorten the defensive front to
permit large-scale transfers OF
troops TO western Europe.
There is a general impression
i'm London that they will take
special measures 10 increase
Anglo American collaboration
with Russia especially in view
Of the fact that the Russians
have no top diplomatic repre-
Sentatives in London or Wash
ington at the moment.
MAXIM LITVINON, ambas-
ssdor 10 Washington. is still in
Moscow. and Ivan MaiSky am
bassador 10 London has been
made an assistant foreign COM
misSar in Moscow.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Churchill

temperature OF the German

bombers in that plant has fallen
behind schedule
United Automobile Workers
(ClO) is trying to organize the
plant, but the management opposes
organization and the union organiz-
ers are getting ill-tempered.
Glenn Martin is a rugged individ-
uallst, who believes that the rO-
nance of the aircraft industry is
in itself compensation for working
in an aircraft plant. But the work
ers are less interested in romance
than in the pay envelopes.
Martins obstruction of the Or
ganizers has received the willing
support Of Army officers connected
with the Martin plant When JAW
asked permission to distribute or
ganizing leaflets at the gates of
the plant, they were rejected by
Army officers, who said that distri-
button would cause confusion and
congestion, would endanger lives
of workers.
The organizers appealed to I'm
der Secretary Of War Patterson
who at first supported the military
ruling, which in effect drove the
organizers off to an intersection 6
miles distant from the gates. Later
he reversed himself and JAW is
now pushing its organization drive
at the very gates of the plant.

Frozen Vegetables For All


There will be plenty of frozen
vegetables II 1943 fer the armed
forces without cutting the supply
available for civilian use, tle War
Department has announced. The
pack OF quick-froZen vegetables
this year will be between 240,000.-
900 and 260,O0O,OO0 pounds, accord
ing 10 present L. S. Department
of Agriculture estimates, as com
pared with a pack of 162,000.000
last year. The supply for civilian
consumption will equal or surpass
that of last year.
Fewer Points, Less Money
Butchers may no longer reduce
point values of rationed meats and
fats without at the same time low
ering money prices, according to
OPA. If the retailer lowers the
point value, he must lower the
price at least 25 per cent below
ceiling. If he lowers the point
value more than 25 per cent, the
selling price must be reduced in
proportion, but in no case more
than so per cent.
important Jamaican Workers
Ten thousand agricultural work
ers will be imported from jamaica
to relieve the farm labor shortage
in critical areas in the U. S. The
jamaican worker will not displace
U. S. farm laborers nor reduce es-
tablished wage rates. Health au-
thorities will check the physical
fitness and when workers con-
tracts expire, the laborers will be
returned to Jamaica. Similar
agreements have been made with
Mexico and the Bahama Islands.

Lend Your Money
The second War Loan Drive
which began April 12) must raise
the astounding sum of 13 billion
dollars to support American arm
les that are now attacking the
enemy. An offensive army requires
ammunition and materials that
cost staggering sums of money.
One night raid of 1000 bombers re-
quires $375,000 worth of gasoline
A million dollars worth of bombs
may be dropped. In the future,
Americas armies will undertake
still greater attacks, and these in
turn will require still more money
The 13 billion dollars must be rails
ed in addition to the regular pur-
chases of war bonds and stamps
that our people are making now

MARyL AND MERRy-GO-ROUND
--- BY DREW PEARSON

Washington. d. c., April 16.-It
has leaked out in Maryland judicial
circles that venerable Judge Will
liam G.. Chestnut of the u. S. Dis
trict Court soon will resign. This
has caused a backstage scramble
to take his place.
SO far President Roosevelt and
the Justice Department have no
specific candidate. But there are
plenty of willing nominees in and
around Baltimore. Foremost among
them is Governor O'COnor himself,
who has always had an eye fixed
on the bench, and who, because of
the Republican upswing, might
very we'll prefer judicial security
to more precarious race for the
Senate against Tydings in IA.
Not the last to oppose O'Conor's
judicial ambitions is Senator Ty-
dings himself who would like moth
ing better than to see his foremost
potential opponent in the Eemo-
cratic Party safely ensconsed in
judicial robes instead of running
aaginst him in the next senate 'ial
primary 1t is also rumored that
Senator Radcliffe would just as
soon see O'COnor promoted to the
judicial bench.
Should O'Conor resign to become
Judge, the repercussions would
affect the entire political structure
of the Free State. Arthur Brice

HANGOVERS
BY
LITTLE HEISkELL

This and That: Railroad de-
tectives tell me that they have
forgotten what a train rider
looks like; it's been months and
months and months since any
of the Gentlemen of the Rails
have been snagged and tossed
into the hoosegow. Definition
of gratitude: A local industry
spent many days wading through
Government red tape in order to
get an army discharge for for
mer employee ;they finally sue
ceeded and on the soldiers re-
lease and return home he was
given his old job; the pay-off
came when the ex-service man
walked off his old job two days
later; however, they can't get
away with that now; any man
discharged from the army to
work in war plant is in that
type of work for the duration; if
heretofore, these releases were
outright discharges; now the
Army places 'em in the reserve.
Even though there is no clothes
rationing, scores of coats, hats,
etc, are being stolen here, so
when you walk into a public
place and hang up your duds,
keep an eye on 'em. - For the
first time in months, reports
have it that number of local
employers are beginning to get
tough with those workers who
persist in working only when
they feel like it; the oId-time
firing" methods are again being
revived, and understand some
of the "absentee champs" can
hardly believe it when the boss
tell 'em to "scram." - Out of a
large group of men recently
drafted by Uncle Sam only one
was assigned to the Navy; he
was a sheet metal worker and
officers pounced on him like
flying tackle. - Several mem re-
Gently discharged from the army
tell me that getting back into
civilian life is proving somewhat
difficult; they squawked about
everything while in uniform, but
find that when they again don
civies they have hankerine to
get back in the service. - Victory
gardens are becoming popular in
Army camps throughout the
country, many of the service men
planting crops on land in the
camp areas; majority Of these
Victory gardeners were farmers
before entering the Army. - On
or about May l, Child Care Gen.
ters will be established in Ha-
gerstoWn which will mean the
end of WPA Nursery Schools;
the Centers will be welcomed by
mothers who are or who want to
work in war plants, but can't
make suitable arrangements for
their children's care while they
are doing their bit; a small fee
will be charged for these services
and experienced supervisors will
have charge of the centers. -
This summer may find organized
play for children again introduc-
ed in Hagerstown. - Warner

has just resigned as president of
the Maryland Senate, so would not
step into the Governorship. There
fore it night follow that the Sen
ate would elect Howard Bruce to
the job he has SO long coveted,
thereby permitting him to fulfill
his lifelong ambition.
However, O'Conor is not the
only potential judicial candidate in
the field. There is William Stanley
a bosom friend of former Attorney
General Homer Cummings who
would have Cummings 100 per
cent. support. Another candidate
is Wethered Barroll, one of the
few Baltimore attorneys who step
ped out during the 1888 primary
against Tydings and backed the
President 100 per cent. Barroll
has never been repaid for this 10y
atty and has some claim on the
Administration.
Judge Chestnut, appointed by
Herbert Hoover, will be 70 years
old on June 27. He has long been
admired for his erudite' opinions,
though many have gone against
the grain of the New Deal.
