.Sinotro Says
.'Won'tP Paw

Hollywood, Aug. Is - (UP0 -
Setting forth in legal language that
he once bought $1,000 worth of
groceries for bony baritone with
big ears, Bandleader Tommy Dorsey
today demanded 40 1-3 per cent of
the earnings of Frank Sinatra, the
sWoon- crooner.
Dorsey asked SO IA per cent for
himself and 10 per cent for Leonard
Vannerson, Dorsey's manager.
Sinatra quoted himself as saying
he wouldn't pay.
"You can quote Sinatra as saying
Sinatra said, that he believes it is
wrong for anybody to own a piece
of him and collect on it when that
owner is doing nothing for Sinatra.
Sinatra will fight this foreclosure or
whatever it is to the last ditch"
Dorsey acquired the piece of Sin
atra five years ago when Sinatra
was out of job and, according to
Dorsey, hungry.
The swoon-crooner had been sing
ing with Harry James and his band
at the Victor Hugo and nobody
came within blocks. The Hugo
closed
Dorsey said he fed, clothed and
housed Sinatra and put him to
work.
Sinatra left Dorsey, acquired a
press agent, and went into the Par
amount Theater at New York and
is now the biggest thing in show
business.
Harry James, Sinatra observed,
has done all right, too, but nobody
owns piece of him.

STATE POTATO
HARVEST SMALL
Drouth, Flea Beetles and
Weeds Largely Contrib
ute to Short Crop

Storrs. Aug. Is - With one
third increase in potato acreage this
year, Connecticut will probably har-
vest fewer potatoes than last year
In fact, the states potato harvest
is likely to be from one million to
a million and a half bushels below
earlier estimates.
These conclusions have been ar
rived at by Professor A. E. Wilkin-
son after ate-wide survey of the
fields where digging has been under
way. While Irish Cobblers, the prin-
cipal early crop, show a very poor
set and therefore light yields, late
potatoes including Green Noun
tains, Chippewas and Katahdins,
promise to be even worse on the
basis of experimental digging.
To begin with there was a very
light set of all potatoes except for
a few commercial fields along the
shore where planting was done in
March. Drouth, aphids, flea beetles
and weeds have lal contributed to
the short crop although some years
there is a light set of potatoes for
no explainable reason.
Home gardeners on the average
are even worse off than the
commercial growers, says Mr.. Will
kinson. In many cases home grow
ers planted table stock potatoes that
were full of disease. Few of the
home gardeners sprayed or busted
sufficiently to control the unusually
heavy infestations of aphids and
flea beetles. Green Mountains that
still have green and vigorous vines
should be sprayed once week up
until September 20 to permit max
imum of growth.
Ironically enough the Extension
Service and the War Council have
been campaigning for more storage
facilities to care for what promised
to be bumper crop. 1t was only
when actual digging operations got
under way with the Irish Cobbler
crop that the discovery was made
that what promised to be a record
crop is going to be short of normal.
The one consolation that Mr.. Will
kinson sees in the situation is that
the quality of the Irish Cobblers
that have been dug is very high.
Fewer but better tasting potatoes
seems to be the story of Connecti-
cuts 1943 crop.

APPLE DEMANDS
Guido SUPPLY
Plans to Stretch Crop Are
Underway; Industry in
Unusual Position

New York, Aug. "a - With the
certain knowledge that there will
not be enough apples to supply anti
cipated demand, the New York and
New England Apple Institute has
announced four-point program to
make the most of the crop.
AS announced by Frank w. Bene-
way of Ontario, N. Y, President Of
the seven-state growers non-profit
cooperative merchandising organ
ization, the program includes:
l. A determined effort to harvest
and care for all marketable apples.
2. Salvage Of lower-grade apples
wherever possible for processing.
8. An educational campaign to
help housewives make best use Of
apples.
4. A merchandising campaign In
conjunction with the trade to assure
that apples will move into con-
sumption promptly. thereby reduc-
ing the waste factor.
The apple industry finds itself In
an unusual position this year be-
cause so many other fruits normally
use in home canning are scarce"
said President Beneway. I'VE wish
we had many more apples to sell,
but official reports show a much
smaller crop than last year. There
is heavy demand by the government
for apples for processing. For the
first time, perhaps, housewives seri-
ously appreciate the apple for home
canning.
Our organization is determined
that no apples shall be wasted this
year. Growers costs have been I'M
usually high and this is accumulated
by the smaller yield. 1t is to the
advantage of both growers and con-
sumers to market the largest pos
sible percentage of the total crop.
The food situation being what it is.
and with general recognition of the
health and nutritional values of
apples, we believe this will be aid
ing in the war effort. From a long
time point of view, we hope we may
be influencing consumers who viii
continue to appreciate apples
through the years."
BeneWay said he was convinced
that salvage of lower grades and
avoidance of waste would 60 a long
way to stretch" the available sup
ply of apples.

T0DAY'S WAR
MOVES
(Reg. U. S. Pat. Office
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE
United Press War Analyst

The joint statement of Prime
Minister Churchill and President
Roosevelt on the Quebec conference
leaves little doubt that an earnest
effort will be made to arrange a
three-poWer meeting of Britain, the
United States and Soviet Russia at
the earliest possible moment.
The urgency of the rapidly
changing war situation was indi-
Gated by the Churchill Roosevelt
decision to hold another joint meet
ing before the end of this year. 1t
was coupled with the expressed
hope that it would be possible to
arrange an additional meeting at
which Russia would sit.
1t has been predicted in London
diplomatic circles that Ivan Maisky,
recently relieved as ambassador to
London, would return there after
the Quebec conference to discuss
outstanding problems with Anthony
Eden, British foreign secretary. who
was at Quebec.
This expectation replaced earlier
predictions that Eden would go to
Moscow, indicating a belief that
Russia is prepared to go at least
part way in tackling the military
and political problems affecting the
three powers.
Big Difference
1t would make a big difference
who visits whom, If Maisky goes to
London, it would soften to some ex-
tent the undoubted shock caused by
his removal as ambassador, and
that of Maxim Litvinov in Wash
ington. In the niceties of diploma
tic protocol, it would be something
like the mountain going to Ma
homet, instead of vice versa.
Such meeting would do more
than merely transmit to Russia, as
matter of information, the deci-
sions reached at Quebec. If it went
WELL visit to London by Viaches
Law Molotov, Soviet foreign commits
Sar, would not be improbable, and
the three-poWer conference would
result.
Problems affecting the war; time
partner ship of the three nations
are so complicated that meeting
of their highest officials is regarded
In Washington and London as al
most imperative if the war on the
European Axis is to be continued as
a point enterprise
At the top of the list is Russia's
insistence that real second front
can be created only by an Allied
invasion of Western Europe imme-
diately. Unless Russia can be given
this, or be convinced that the aerial
offensive against Germany and an
invasion of southeastern Europe
serve the same end, agreement on
postwar political solutions would
be given serious setback.

man FINED S25
Kazimes Garbukas Guilty
of Injuring Walter Par
kewizz in Fight

Kazimes Garbukas, 48, 1853 South
Leonard street, was fined $25 and
costs on charge of assault and
given a suspended sentence on a
charge of breach of the peace in
city court this morning, after Judge
Charles Summa denied a motion by

man for discharge on the grounds
of self-defensc.

arrested Garbukas at his home after
PaskeWizz reported Garbukas had
struck him with rock.
Garbukas told the court Paske
WIZ, in an intoxicated condition,
had accosted him as he neared his
home at lis o'clock on the morn
ing in question, and had struck him
several times and then picked up a
rock. The rock which was displayed
in court this morning was about
six inches in diameter and about
two inches thick. Garbukas said he
wrested the rock away from Paske-
wizz and threw IT, at him
Attorney Weisman then asked
Gerbukas be discharged because he
acted in self-defense. Judge Sum-
ma denied the motion on the
grounds the injuries inflicted by
Garbukas were overly severe, and
that he should have attempted to
use every alternative, such as run
ming away, before resorting to such
desperate measures.
