LONDON, Jan. ga procla-
nation by Adolf Hitler, to be
broadcast by Propaganda Minis
ter Goebbels at 4 pm. tomorrow
III am, E. w. t. will be high
light Of Germany's observance
of the 10th anniversary of the
Fuehrer's rise to power, the Ber-
lin radio announced today.
1t will, however, by fiagless cele-
bration, according to other broad
casts recorded here by the Associated
Press.
In the morning, Reichsmarshal
Goering will address the armed
forces while there also will be a
broadcast message to the youth of
the nation by Arthur Axmann,
Reichs youth leader.
The Berlin radio said an order
forbidding the display of flags came
from Goebbels and Interior Minister
Wilhelm Frick.
The reason was not stated, but
London diplomatic circles noted it
came at time when German news
from the Russian and North African
fronts was dark and coincident with
a broadening of the Reich's labor
draft and suggested the aim was to
create within Germany spirit COM
parable to that which developed in
Britain under the reverses of 1901.
Hitler is expected to speak tomor-
row, but advance billing has been
strangely absent from Nazi broad
casts heard by the Associated Press.

Details to Be Divulged.
The Brazilian announcement said
The President of the Republic,
Senior Getulio Vargas, has been
since yesterday Thursday in
Natal, where he went to meet Mr..
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Presi-
dent of the United States of Amer
ica, who Is there on his return from
CaSablanca to Washington. The de-
tails Of this memorable meeting
will be divulged Immediately after
the arrival of President Getulia Var

was disclosed that Mr.. Roosevelt had
passed through Northern Brazil
earlier this month on his way to

nearly 1000 miles northwest of
Natal.
Natal is the site OF an important
Brazilian naval base from which
American forces operate and like
wise the site of great United
States Army air base from which
American planes take off for far
flung fighting fronts.
1t was presumed the discussion
between Presidents Roosevelt and
Vargas involved methods for COM
batting the German effort to cut
South Atlantic shipping lanes by
intensified submarine activity in re-
cent months.
Five U-Boats Sunk in Month.
In this connection it was recalled
that Admiral Ingram announced
only last week that five enemy sub
marines had been destroyed in South
Atlantic waters during the last
month.
The question of United States
economic aid to Brazil, an important
Western Hemisphere source of sup
plies for the United Nations, presum-
ably was among other subjects re-
viewed by the two chief executives.
1t was the first meeting of Mr..
Roosevelt and President Vargas since
1886, when Mr.. Roosevelt visited
Brazil en- route to Buenos Aires for
the inter- American conference he
organized to bind the American Re-
publics closer together for the main
tenance Of peace.
News of Mr.. Roosevelt's visit to
Liberia was contained in a dispatch,

Conflicting Rules
Threaten Towns
Meat Supply
eS the Associated Press.


WHARTON, Tex, Jan. ga city
ordinance forbids butchers slaught-
ering their own meat.
OPA rules prevent the only
slaughter house in town from doing
the job.
Now the butchers, OPA and city
officials are looking for some red
tape to provide the city with legal
meat.
The OPA rules require slaughter
houses to base their kill on the
amount of meat handled in 1941.
But the slaughter house, operated
by j. D. Miller, wasn't operating in
194l, so according to OPA rules and
regulations its quota is zero.
The butchers . did their own
slaughtering in 1941, but a later city
ordinance requires that all. killing
be done in a modern packing plant
and the meat must be inspected.
Here's the formula recommended
by James K. Smith, assistant to the
district OPA director:
Let the butchers, who have quotas
for meat slaughtered in 194l, take
their animals to the slaughter house.
pay Mr.. Miller fee for use OF his
equipment and hire the workmen to
do the job.
This will be legal, Mr.. Smith be-
lieves, as long as the workmen are
paid wage rate. If they are paid
fee or so much head, they auto
matically become custom slaughter
ers and run afoul another OPA reg
ulation
There's only one possible flaw to
Smiths proposed solution.
He isn't sure his OPA bosses will
agree that it's legal.

ing on how and why the billions
have been spent.
Representative Jones, Republican,
of Ohio contended in the House that
thousands of cases of beer, rayon
stockings and powder puffs" nave
been shipped abroad and paid for
with lease-lend funds. He said he
had reliable information" that some
of the shipments went to private
persons. Lease-lend officials prompt
ly denied the charges.
Urges Total Cooperation"
In a prepared statement which
Mr.. Stettinius read to the commit
! tee, he said:
IF we look back over the part
that lease-lend has played in the
war and its relation to the United
Nations battle against Axis power,
we realize that principle has been
hammered out in a time of crisis.
That principle is the principle of
total cooperation among the ma
tionS in the waging of war-co-op-
Grafton in the interest of each, and
for the benefit of all, the only prin-
cipie on which war of alliance can
be successfully waged."
Mr.. Stettinius reviewed the aid
sent to this Nations partners in war
and declared that the record of its
results and activities demonstrates
in my opinion beyond any argument
the necessity for extending the
Lease-Lend Act for an additional
year"
He told the committee that the
! program Of supplying civilian goods
! to the United Nations is IAN indis-
pensable step to facilitate the prose-
! cution of the war"
las far ahead as we can easily
see" he explained, I'VE must act
with vigor to supply medicine, food
clothing and other needs for those
whom the Nazis and japanese have
despoiled. AS the President has
said: Success in restoring the
countries we free will be a powerful
factor in shortening the war, CIV
/ ing the liberated peoples their
chance to share in the victory
"Only One War" Involved.
There is only one war" the lease
lend administrator emphasized
What we sent to fight in Russia or
the Middle East, the bombers based
in Britain or Australia or India, the
tanks which have just fought across
300 miles OF desert in 80 days
these are part of the war effort.
The guns, the food and the camps
we receive all over the world as
lend in reverse are a vital
factor in the supply of our troops.
Mutual aid among the Allies on
the supply side as on the battle
fields, is an essential part of our
organization for waging war-an or
ganization of nations united in their
determination to force an mcondi-
tionaI surrender Of the Axis powers. -
He reported that lease-lend aid
at the end of December, 1912, had
amounted to s8,253 ,000,0 900, but told

Hitler Giving Up Command,
Swedish Reports Suggest
By VICTOR GORDON LENNo,

BY VICTOR GORDON LENNOX,
Foreisn Correspondent of The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, Jan. 20. - Familiar
omens of new German propaganda
directives are evident again. Last
night reports emanating from Swe-
den suggested that Hitler may re-
linquish the supreme command of
the army pro tenn. After more than
year this has been recognized in
London as a card the Germans
might play if the high command
considered German victory impos-
sible and, consequently, was anxious
to negotiate peace before the army
was wiped out.
1t was anticipated the method
employed would be to assert that
the German Army never sought
war, only the Nazis launched the
war and the Nazi S. S. Hitler Elite
Guard alone is responsible for the
outrages and atrocities in occupied
lands.

A paralytic opera soprano who
made her wheel chair debut last
week at the Metropolitan Opera, will
sing tonight at birthday banquet
to aid the cause she has in common
with President Roosevelt.
Her name is Marjorie Lawrence
and she came to Washington yes
terday to do her bit against the dis
ease which two years ago snatcheo
her from the peak of international
operatic success. She will entertain
at the Mayfower Hotel with the
man with whom she shared many
of her former triumphs, Lawrence
Tibbett.
Her operate appearance last week
was an ironic climax to a career
which, when launched in America
with her Metropolitan debut in
1885, was marked to a great extent
by her physical agility. She was,
for instance, the first woman in the
history of opera who followed Wag-
ner's stage directions for "Gotter-
damerung" by making her final exit
on the horse instead of in front Of
it.
Toured World to Sing.
After her debut. her career fol-
lowed much the same line as that
Of all top-f1ight dramatic sopranos.
Tours Of England, France, Italy,
Australia, Canada and the United
States and concerts in South Amer
lea managed to keep her busy in
between seasons at the Met
In 1941 her career was at its peak.
She was alternating with Kristen
Flagstad and co-starring with Lau-
ritz Melchior. Her success already
assured, was given warmth by her
marriage in that year to Thomas
King. AS she had been invited to
star in the opera Tristan and
Isolde" under the sponsorship of the
Mexican government, they decided
to go to Mexico City for their
honeymoon.
In the midst of rellearsals for the
show she was stricken with lnfan-
tile paralysis and rendered helpless
from her shoulders down. In
despair after the failure Of special
lists to offer her any hope of re-
covery, she went to Minneapolis to
consult her fellow countrywoman,
Sister Kenny, the famed Australian
nurse.

the Chinese dollar. To paraphrase
the President, money cannot take
the place of munitions at the fight

Under questioning, Mr.. Stettinius
said nothing is released to another
nation that has mot been proved to
be war essential"
He said that at the outset of the
lease-lend program the aid went al
most entirely to help win the battle
of Britain, adding:
THE flow of arms, food and other
materials to Britain has helped to
sustain first a defensive operation
and now an increasingly powerful
series OF offensive thrusts on the
seas, in the air and on the many
land fronts of the war"
Britain is now "one of the great
arSenals of democracy" and "the
pooling of United Nations resources
is nowhere better illustrated than in
Britain. Our troops in Britain have
received as reciprocal aid such weap-
ons and munitions of war AS Spit
fires, 25-pounder guns and other
artillery, small arms, grenades anG
