Russiun Action
Seen as Evidence
OF Incorporation
BY HENRY C. CASSIDY,

hSsOClbtcu GtcSs Sbhu 1UIISspCHuCnt
MOSCOW, Aug. 27.-The So
Wet Union gave evidence of po-
litical cooperation with the
United Nations today by the
simultaneous recognition with
the United States and Great
Britain of the French Committee
of National Liberation.
tThis dispatch passed through
Soviet censorship
Recognition of the French Com
mittee, which was understood to be
result Of the Quebec conference,
was the first sign here that Moscow
had been informed of the decisions
of President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill, and the first in
dication of collaboration in carry
ing them out.
Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav
Molotov gave notice of the recogni-
ton last night at meeting at the
Kremlin with 1t. Col. Raymond
Schmittlin, charge d'affaires of the
Fighting French movement which
the Soviet Union had previously
recognized.
A communique announcing the
decision to exchange ENJOYS, pub
ished today, said the French Com
mittee was "the representative of
the state interests of the French
Republic and leader of all French
patriots fighting against the Hit
lerite tyranny"
French Minister Roger Garreau
who has been serving here as chief
OF the Fighting French mission is
expected to represent the commit
tee. He is now in North Africa for
consultation.
The Soviet Union had close rela-
tions for more than year with the
de Gaullist movement, which has
been represented here by political
and military missions and the Nor
mandie" fighter aviation squadron.

Bette Davis Believes Fall
Al Farm Killed Husband

bs lhe AsSOCldLeQ IreSs.
HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 27.-A fall
downstairs at his New Hampshire
farmhouse last June probably caused
the death Wednesday OF Arthur
Farnsworth, husband of Film Actress
Bette Davis, DR.. Paul Moore has
announced following an autopsy.
Mr.. Farnsworth was found un-
conscious on Hollywood boulevard
sidewalk Monday.
The physician said last night he
had learned from Miss Davis that
Mr.. Farnsworth slipped when he
started downstairs, without shoes
to answer the telephone in their
farm home near Pennington, N. H.
two months ago. DR.. Moore said
Miss Davis told him:
HE suffered the usual lameness
for several days, but not being the
complaining kind he said nothing
more about it. And so I thought
no more about it.
Il realize now that little things
that happened since, which !
thought nothing of at the time, were
the result of that fall, all of which
have been confirmed by DR.. Moore
At least to find reason for a SEEM
ingly ridiculous accident is a relief
and comfort"

a pleasure-driving penalty in the
District, Col. Joseph Fairbanks
special hearings officer for the Dis
trict ONCE of Price Administration
today upheld fine of one A gaso-

today that four motorists have been
penalized one A coupon each as
the result of hearings held by
Board NO. 81, Thirteenth and Allison

Ramspeck Reports

ATLANTA, Aug. 27.-The Federal
Government has definitely put the
breaks on the hiring of additional
personnel" and is saving an esti-
mated $400, ,000, 900 a year as a re-
suit, Chairman Ramspeck of the
House Civil Service Committee said
yesterday.
The Government has not only
stopped expanding its civilian per-
sonnel, Mr. Ramspeck said in an in
terview, but is steadily cutting the
total, which reached an all-time
high of over 100000 persons last
May.
In two years, Government per-
sonnel rolls increased over 1000 900
persons, and Of that figure. all but
269,841 employees were in the War
or Navy Departments.
The Civil Service Commission
also has frightened up It's employ
ment and promotion regulations,
Mr.. Ramspeck said, and no longer
can the agencies get away with
appointing just anybody"
The stop-order on hiring and the
subsequent decline in employment
came primarily as a result of an in
vestigation conducted by his COM
mittee. Mr.. Ramspeck asserted, as
did the more stringent regulations
on hiring.
The War Department notified
him, Mr.. Ramspeck continued, that
1t will reduce its personnel by 100,-
600 civilian employees by September
l. That reduction meant a de-
crease of s127,00o,000 in the last
War Department appropriation,

A decision on the request of to-
bacco growers from Virginia and the
Carolnas that 4 cents be added
to the seasons average price of Il
cents a pound for tied and graded
flue-cured tobacco is expected soon
The matter rests with Meredith S
Kohlberg, head Of the tobacco Sec
ton OF the Food Price Division of
the Once of Price Administration
Although Kohlberg offered little
encouragement to the producers
during the all-day meeting We'd
nesday here, in which prominent
men OF the three States, including
two Governors, pressed their argu-
ments before OPA officials, Gov
Colgate Darden, jr., has said that
the situation was encouraging. The
request was based on the argument
that tying and grading of fiue-cured
tobacco adds to the cost of produc-
ton and that Al cents is too low
to cover the added services.
In the meantime, comparatively
light sales and strong demand for
all types of leaf were reported on
the IA markets of North Carolina q

continued steady below the Once

to creating confusion and misunder-
standing among the Allied nations
whose full cooperation is so urgent
ly needed in the prosecution of the
war.
The sum total of these publicity
operations has too often the effect
of lending aid and comfort to the
enemy while sometimes arousing
suspicion and confusion, by reason
of their false nature, among Allied
nations when there is no remote call
for any such Misrepresentation
No Direct Reply on Russia.
When asked whether these latter
remarks referred particularly to re-
lations with Russia, Secretary Hull
did not give direct reply but said it
was an accumulation of this sort of
practice which in more than one
instance injured the relations exist
ing among number of the Allied
nations.
Mr.. Hull said he had called special
attention to it today because the
war was at an acute stage and the
Government was doing everything
possible to keep up friendly relations
between the Unlteo States and all
the Allies, and above all to maintain
friendly understanding and a COM

Ii. Comdr. Whitney
Reported Jap Captive

Word has been received by Mrs
Stellamarie Whitney, 1916 North
Rhodes street, Arlington, through
the international Red Cross that her
husband, 1t. Comdr. Rontoul Whit
ney, prisoner of war in the Philip
pines, is we'll and safe.
The news came to Mrs. Whitney
at Doctors Hospital where she is re-
covering from a compound knee
fracture. 1t had been almost two
years since she had word of her
husband. Mrs. Whitney was puzzled
by the cold formality of the message
and the salutation Seasons Greet
ings," postmarked in Japanese. She
has been unable to ascertain the
exact date of the message.
One of the first men to be awarded
the Navy Cross in this war, 1t
Comdr. Whitney was decorated for
his work during the bombing of
Cavite when he was wounded. Be-
cause 1t was his job as captain of
the yard, he ignored his own safety
in trying to protect the small boats
in Cavite Bay. He was taken to the
Mainly Hospital and was there re-
cuperating from his wounds when
the. japanese took the city.
Prior to the Pearl Harbor attack,
Mrs. Whitney was with her husband
in the Philippines. With her young
son and daughter she was evacuated
from Corregidor. The return trip
to the United States via Australia
was narrowing one, Mrs. Whitney
said, made in the path OF an enemy
raider.
She is now member of the Dis
trict Red Gross unit and employed
in the Navy Department Bureau of
Aeronautics.

which it said
The task of aiding private indus
try In providing economic oppor-
tunities for men to be demobilized
from the armed forces and from

on the resources of under-developed
sections of the country"

The board, killed by Congress.

leased today was submitted to

ary II.
On that date the board told the
President:
Representing the first compre-
hensive analysis of the subject to
be made in this country, these stud
its are primarily concerned with
a review of the various factors which
influence plant location decisions
and which therefore are shaping the
geographic pattern of American in
dustry.
Expanding Economy.
by the end Of 1943 the expan-
sion OF our manufacturing facilities
for war production purposes will
total approximately $4,000, ,000, 900,
more than $4,000, 100000 of this
investment representing Federal
funds.
Through this tremendous invest
ment we have not only vastly in
creased the Nations manufacturing
plant, but we have brought about
important changes in the geo.
graphic pattern of manufacturing.
The consequence of these changes
Will have permanent influence on
the growth and development of the
Nation. Because of these great
changes both private industry and
local, State and Federal agencies of
government have become increas-
ingly aware of the necessity of giving
careful thought to plant location
decisions. This report has been pre-
pared to meet the growing need for
objective analysis of locational
problems.
Such detailed analysis was prom
ised in the next study. The present
study is intended to provide indus

tional distribution of industry and
for measuring likely changes in this
