Super-Fortresses' Used
By Allies, Nazis Report

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 12.-The German
radio has reported that Allied
super-Fortresses," which carry no
bombs but which are armed with a
number of extra guns, are accom-
panylng American bombers a,
tighter escorts on raids over
Europe, the London Evening Stand
ard says.
About dozen of the speciallv-
equipped planes fly ahead of the
regular FoTress bomber formations
IN echelon as a protective screen to
ward off German fighters, the
broadcast was quoted as saying.
The 9th Air Force had no com.
ment on the report. Air experts
were skeptical and observed that the
regular Fortresses which shot down
more than 300 German fighters in
the last three raids are doing all
right by themselves.

Salazar and the japanese Minister to
Lisbon led to reports of Portuguese
dissatisfaction with japanese treat
ment of Lisbons Pacific colony of
T1mor. There was belief in Madrid
that Portugal might demand the
restitution of Portuguese Timor to
Lisbon's administration and the
evacuation of all Japanese forces
from the Portuguese side of the
island.
The northeastern part of Timor,
in the Malay Archipelago, belongs
to Portugal and the southwestern
half belongs to Holland. but is under
japanese seizure. Portuguese Timor
has a population of more than
100000.

1,35O,OOO Estate of Rec|use
TOGO to One of Two Co||eqes

Either the University of North
Carolina or Rollins College, in Flor
ida, probably will receive approx
mately $l,350,0O0 from the estate of
William Hayes Ackland, 84-year old
recluse of this city, who died in 1910.
One OF the two seemed destined
to get the sum as the result of
Court of Appeals decision handed
down here yesterday which finally
rejected the claims of relatives to
the sum.
Whatever institution finally re-
celves the bequest. Mr.. Ackland S
wish that his remains be placed in
an apse on university campus also
seemed likely to be fulfilled. in &C
cordance with his expressed desire
in his two wills.
Under the terms of a will made in
1888, Duke University was to be the
beneficiary. Duke University, how
ever, declined the bequest.
In will of 1886, Mr.. Ackland, the
Court OF Appeals decision said, pro-
vlded for the erection of a memo
rial building in the form of a GAL
lery or museum to house his treas
ures upon the campus of Duke Uni
verslty in North Carolina or, in the
event permission could not be OBJ
tanned therefor. then upon the
campus of the University of North
Carolina or, as a third alternative,
upon the campus of Rollins College
in Florida"
Declined by Duke L.
After Duke University declined,
there was considerable litigation in
District Court, in which relatives
tried to break the will. District
Court ruled in effect that since Duke
had turned down the bequest the
will was no longer operative.
The Court of Appeals, however
yesterday reversed the District
Court decision and held that the

House Unit Revives
KiIday Bill 10 Draft
Prewar Fathers Last
BY the Associated Press.


The Kilday bill was revived by
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee today as its answer to
congressional agitation against
the induction of prewar fathers
and the insistence of the armed
services that fathers must be
called up if manpower quotas
are to be met.
Passed by the House last April
and shelved by the Senate Military
Affairs Committee, the bill provides
for filling draft quotas on a State
wide instead of a local board basis
and sets up four categories in the
order Of which men shall be in
Quoted, with prewar fathers last.
Chairman May and other House
committee members said they would
not be surprised if the Kilday bill
were added, by way of amendment,
to legislation passed by the Senate
last week as a compromise for the
Wheeler bill, delaying the induction
OF preWal fathers until after Janu-
ary !.
The House group started hearings

Representative Sparkman, Demo-
crat, OF Alabama said he believed the
Senate measure should be redrafted,
with the entire Kilday bill or major
parts of 1t included in the new
measure.
Besides putting preWar fathers at
the bottom of the manpoWer pool
and recognizing dependency as
prime factor to be considered in
deferments, the Kilday bill would
prohibit the induction of men mere
ly on occupational grounds. The ef-
feet Of this would be to outlaw
existing regulations designating
certain occupations as nondeferra BILE
because of the number of depend

E|Iender Demands
Immediate Inquiry on
lease-Lend Operation
By the Associated Press.

Os INC AsSOSiateu fTeSS.
Demanding an immediate in
vestigation of leaSe-lend opera
tions, Senator Ellender, Demo-
crat, of Louisiana reported today
that Russia's reciprocal aid to
the United States had been
limited to supplying and servic-
Ing American vessels in Soviet
ports.
Senator Ellender said the infor-
nation was contained in a letter
from former Lease-Lend Admins
traitor Edward R. Stettinius, jr.
In making the contents of the
letter public, the Louisianan called
for an inquiry at once" into the
more than 3,793 100000 of United
States lease lend expenditures. He
said his demand grew out of the
secret" reports given the Senate
last week by five Senators who
toured the major battle theaters.
Will Urge Concessions.
Senator Ellender said he would
take the floor to urge President
Roosevelt to make every effort to
obtain from our allies concessions in
oil, tin. iron ore and rubber so that
we can replenish our natural re-
sources now being depleted"
Moreover, he said, We should ne
gotiate now for permanent pos
session of strategic bases in return
for lease lend aid.
In the letter dated August q, be-
fore his recent appointment as
Undersecretary of State, Mr.. Stet-
tinius informed Senator Ellender
that "the Soviet Government has
expressed its desire to give us re-
verse lease lend to the fullest pos
sible extent, but the volume and
nature Of such aid is limited by
the weight of Russia's own require
ments and by the absence of
American forces in areas which can
be supplied by Russia" >"
Wheeler Backs Probe.
THUS far, therefore, such aid has
been confined to repair, supply and
servicing of our vessels in Russian
ports" he said.
Siding with Senator Ellender
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon
tana declared the disclosures made
TO the Senate by its touring group
call for a lease lend investigation
before any more money is ap-
propriated for this purpose
The giving away of taxpayers
money lavishly to every Tom, Dick
and Harry who wants it or asks for
it is little less than criminal" Sen
ator Wheeler said in an interview
Mismanagement Inferred.
He said he inferred that the tour
ing Senator'S were unanimous in
their opinion that lease-lend had
been nismanaged and mishandled,
and that the British were getting
credit for leaSe-lend to other ccun-
tries which we actually wer= fur
aishing"
Mr.. Stettinius said: 1T is impos-
sible to measure in dollars either
the cost to the British or the value
to us, for example, of British ergi-
neering and designs of weapons
based on two years of COMBAT ex-
perience before we entered the war.
All this has been freely made
available to us in the production
Of planes, tanks and other
weapons. =" ."
Mr.. Stettinius said the United
States has received substantial aid
from various Allied nations in the
from of materials, food for troops
and facilities, and efforts are being
made ito place valuation in dollars
and cents on the amount.

there is no more serious bust

Russian War Relief

. T"HEETTTEN -E #4
Testimony to the military
usefulness of an increasing flow
Of medical supplies, clothing,
food, and other relief supplies
from America to the Soviet
Union was received today by
Edward C. Carter, president Of
Russian War Relief, Inc, IL p.
35th St., New York, from Lieut..
Gen. Pavel Drachev, chief of
the Service of Supply of the
Red Army. o
Reporting receipt of new
shipments from Russian War
Relief, General Drachev said in
a cable to Carter from Moscow
that the supplies are going d.
rectly to the Russian front
lines, already snowbound in
most sectors, as we'll as to civil
ian refugees and nurseries.
"On behalf of the Red Army
Services of Supply" the gener-
al said, Il express our sincerest
gratitude for the supplies for
Red Army men and officers
sent by you.
! "These supplies are being
sent directly to the front lines
for the gallant fighters against
Hitler Germany for the free
dom and independence of. the
Soviet Union and all freedom
loving nations of the world"
Russian War Relief, Carter
said, has shipped and made
purchase commitments for
more than $4,000, 900 worth of
supplies for the Soviet Union in
the last year.
General Drachev's cable
tells u.s." Carter said, "that the
supplies which the generosity
of the American public is en-
abling us to ship are not only
saving lives and ameliorating
suffering, but are a contribu-
ton to victory for the United
Nations. Statistics of the Red
Army medical corps show that
when adequate medical sup
plies are available, more than
70 per cent of wounded SOL
diers are restored to battle
duty. We are glad to have Gen.
eral Drachev's statement that
part of the supplies we send
are being put to that USE"

WINTER DRIVING

Here's a cold weather
thought from the Greater Gle
veland Safety Council: If you
can't start your car in the
morning, that's annoying. But
if you can't stop it, that's a
calamity! So when you give
your car its regular cold wealth
err check-up-oil change, anti
freeze, etc., don't overlook the
brakes. And what about chains =?
Do you have a set for winter
driving? They'll help you stop
on ice and snow.

CONES WINTER

By all means get your brakes
adjusted before ice and snow
make driving dangerous. But
that isn't enough, the Greater
Cleveland Safety Council
warns. Be sure your tires are
evenly inflated, or your car will
skid no matter how we'll your
brakes are adjusted, because
the tires will take hold uneven

~"REPEATERS"

In nearly every group study
that is made of accidents it is
found that comparatively few
of the people cause most of the
trouble-and sustain most of
the injuries. They are what is
known as accident repeater
afflicted with a not incurable
malady that is altogether too
common. Among the causes that
make accident repeaters what
they are might be mentioned
faulty attitudes; poor judg-
ment; responsibility; fear;
and physical ailments. Quite
often the cause is purely men
tal-or a combination of the
mind with the physical. Inex-
perience is also responsible for
accident repeaters; that is, lack
of training for ones particular
job. The Greater Cleveland
Safety Council has recently
made a study of the causes of
accident proneness-and posi-
