Army Eases Restrictions
On Overseas Packages

BY the Associated Press.
The Army has relaxed restrictions
on shipment of packages to soldiers
overseas, abolishing the requirement
that commanding officers must ap-
prove the requests before soldiers
could receive packages from home
A request from the soldier will per-
NIT the shipment of parcel post
packages, provided the envelope con-
tanning the request and bearing the
Army post Office cancellation mark
is presented at the time of mailing
The modification will become eff
fective as soon as the Post Office de.
partment can notify postmasters Of
the change, probably about a week
or 10 days, the War Department
said yesterday.

NEWARK, N. j., May Icon
solidation of the State State I'M
employment compensa ton pro-
grams into Federal bureau better
to cope with any severe depres-
SION after the war was advocated
today by Wilburg L. Cohen, tech
nical adviser to the Social Security
Board in Washington.
Mr.. Cohen's stand was expressed
in a speech prepared for a conven-
ton of the New Jersey League Of
Women Voters.
The causes and cure for mass
unemployment are beyond the con-
troll of individual States" he said.
THE Federal Government in the
past has been obliged to assume
prime responsibility for coping with
the problems of mass production
and undoubtedly will have to do so
in the near future"
After the war, Mr.. Cohen con-
tlnued, policies followed in demobili-
Zatlon OF the armed forces and in
termination of war contracts would
vitality affect the volume of unem-
pioyment compensation payments.
Olvlslon Of responsibility then may
wei! lead to failure to act consist
ently and effectively"
"A truly national system of I'M
employment insurance would be
much safer and sounder because
OF the wider spreading OF the I'M
employment risk and the more eff
1ective utilization of reserves" he
said. Therefore such a system
would be far better able to cope with
any severe depression resulting from
the termination OF our war produc-
ton program"
Mr.. Cohen said there were 5000, 900
persons still dependent on the Gov
eminent with 100000 workers I'M
employed and 100000 "unemploya-
bles."

Racing S Cooperation
In War Is Praised
Al Annual Meetinu
Commissioners Told
Defeated Tax Proposals
May Be Revived
BY the Associated Press,

NEW YORK, May 11.-Members
OF the National Association of State
Racing Commissioners heard today
that racing has done its best to aid
the war effort and that racing still
faces two serious threats in proposals
that have been defeated in Wash
ington, but which are not yet dead
issues.
Opening the tWo-day annual meet
ing, President Beverly Broun, chair
man of the West Virginia Racing
Commission, said that people In
racing have, as nearly as they could
done everything to cooperate in the
war effort"
Tom Underwood of Lexington. Sec
rotary OF the association and of the
Kentucky commission, pointed out
that serious threats to racing had
arisen in the past year in proposals
to impose 3 per cent Federal tax on
mutuel betting and to prohibit de-
auctions for losses on racing stables
in making income tax returns. Both
OF these were defeated, he said
adding that he had visited Wash
ington on his way to New York and
had been told that there was a
possibility they might be brought up
again this year.
The commissioners also extended
vote OF thanks to John C. Clark
president of Hialeah Park; Louie
Beard Of Lexington. KY, head OF
the Thoroughbred Breeders Asso-
citation; Herbert Bayard Swope
chairman of the New York Racing
Commission and head of the Turf
Committee of America: Lincoln
Plaut Of Chicago, Mr.. Broun and
Mr.. Underwood for their efforts last
year in finding racings place in the
war effort.
Other speakers in behalf of vari-
Gus proposals placed before the Or
ganlzat;on were Judge j. A. Murphy
steward at several Midwest tracks;
Clement Nance, secretary of the Illi-
nois Racing Board, and Francis P
Dunno, presiding steward of the
New York State Racing Commission
The meeting was attended by ls
racing commissioners from II States
and a number of other prominent

good English, 'but I should prefer to
march with my men,"
The German command obviously
had hoped to stall off the British
at Hammam Lii, picturesque Mos
lem village on the plain half mile
wide between the hills and the
sparkling Mediterranean.
Sherman tanks swept through this
gap miles southeast of Tunis in a
10-hour battle yesterday, outfank-
ing line of German 8Ss by sending
one squadron along the sandy beach.
1t was strictly an armored show:
no British infantry was used today.
This morning the armored ad-
vance guard swept forward 9 to 10
miles as the enemy defense COL
lapsed.
Huge stocks of military supplies
were found untouched in the ware
houses Of big vineyards near Grom-
balia and Soliman.
Fail to Blow Up Bridges.
In their frantic haste the enemy
failed to blow up any bridge or to
lay a single mine.
Large parking lots filled with un-
damaged enemy vehicles are scat
tered in the fields and the hills to
the right of the main highway.
Field and orchards are dotted
with the personal baggage cast off
by the fleeing Germans.
Many mobile 88 guns have been
abandoned but usually only after
their breeches were smashed by ex-
plosive charges.
Refugees and carts piled high with
bedclothes and pots and pans were
returning to their shell-pitted homes
A black-bereted general who was
studying his maps in the turret OF
a Sherman parked on steep and
rocky hill above acres of green vines
told me:
ITS all over, there isn't going to
be any Axis Dunkerque. A few
tough chaps are still fighting, but
most Of the enemy is now giving
in"
1t had been hot morning, drench-
ed with African sunshine, and the
hungry general was just about to
eat his biscuits spread with peanut
butter.
The wireless in tank began
suffering and I could hear the
cool, Oxonian accent of some SQUAD
ron leader reporting from his patrol
quite an interesting story here
SIR the voice said. I'VE have met
British soldier who was captured
and disarmed last night. This
morning, he says, the Germans gave
him back his rifle. Now he is here
with 200 Germans who surrendered
to him"

R Street House Called
Headquarters for
Anti-4th Term Clique
Monroe Quoted as
Saying Politics Is His
Principal Business
Earlier Story on Page B-IJ

LII
By the Associated Press,
ST. LOUIS, May 1.-THE Post
Dispatch in a copyrighted story
today from one if its Washington
correspondents said the House at
2l01 R street where John P. Monroe
lived was working center of a
small but potent coalition of veal
thy Republicans and insurgent Dem
ocrats with one paramount deal as
their objective-the defeat of Presi-
dent Roosevelt for fourth term. -
The story was written after a A.
hour interview with Mr.. Monroe
who was called before the House
Military Affairs Committee last
week to explain his Washington
activities. 1t quoted Mr.. Monroe as
saying:
THE prime aim of the coalition
IS to prevent Roosevelt from getting
elected again and making a WPA
out of the whole world. We want
a peace that will make the coun-
tries that lose the war paw for it.
Man, then We'll be in for hundred
years of prosperity that will rival
that of the British Empire"
Mr.. Monroe intimated, the Post
Dispatch said. that the war con-
tract story built up around him was
a blind to hide the real activities of
the anti-Roosevelt clique.
Figure it out for yourself" Mr..
Monroe said. Il said 1 got but
one single war contract and that
was the truth. Do you think want
to go to jail for perjury? If I wanted
war contracts, obviously I could have
gotten them because I know every
big official in Washington. I'm not
interested in that I'm interested in
a much bigger kind of business
politics"

Hess Held on Same Terms
As in 1941, Eden SAYS
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 11.-Rudolf Hess
still is confined under the same con-
ditions imposed on his arrival in this
country after his mysterious flight
from Germany in 1941, Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden told the
House of Commons today.
Answering the latest OF an in
terminable series of questions con-
corning Britains most intriguing
prisoner, Mr.. Eden denied that Adolf
Hitler's deputy had brought 100000
worth of British securities to Britain
or that any member of his family
was here.
The question was propounded last
week by William J. Thorne, Laborite
who said he understood the securi-
ties were being used to pay for
the keep of Hess and his family In
this country

Eden Reiterates Terms
Are Complete Surrender
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May lin response
to Generalissimo Francisco Frances
latest peace appeal, Foreign Secre-
tary Anthony Eden today reiterated
the declaration that the Allies terms
ARE unconditional surrender"
When his attention was called to
Frances Sunday night speech at
Almeria, Mr.. Eden said:
Il can only repeat what Presi-
dent Roosevelt said sometime ago
that we are not really interested in
any attempt at mediation and that
our terms are unconditional sur
render"
Franco had declared that the
present worldwide conflict had
reached q dead point" and that
neither side now has the power to
destroy the other.
Therefore," Franco said, "it IL
senseless to delay the peace"

.0PA Acts 10 Speed
Hearing on Appeal
OF Hecht Co. Case
Files Motion Requesting
Arguments Be Heard
Before Summer Recess

The Office of Price Administrator
is seeking to speed up it's appeal
Of the Hecht Co. case in the Court
of Appeals for the District of Column
bia and has filed motion asking
that the case be set for argument
before the tribunal adjourns for
summer recess.
The OPA appealed the case, which
was dismissed last February by
Justice Let's of District Court, who
refused to grant the OPA an in
junction against the Hecht Co. on
charges of violations of price CELL
ings, price posting and price re-
cording regulations.
Justice Let's expressed a view
that IAN injunction would not be
in the public interest"
A motion to advance the case was
filed in behalf Of the OPA by George
M. Austin, head of the OPA's spe-
cial litigation section, and other at
torneys.
Asks Time Limit on Answer.
In addition to asking that the
case be expedited, the motion also
asked that the Hecht Co. be re-
quired to file its answering brief
within 20 days from the date of
service on the company of a type
written copy of the OPA's brief or
within 20 days of the courts action
on the motion to advance.
Spencer Gordon, attorney for the
Hecht Co., in an answer to the mo-
ton, declared in the firms behalf
that it has no objection to the en-
try of an order advancing this case
and assigning it for argument on
some day prior to adjournment of
the court for the summer recess if
this can be done without limiting
the time allowed for the prepara-
ton of the brief of the appellee (the
Hecht co.,"
The answer adds, Counsel for the
appellee will do everything reason
ably possible to write the brief for
the appellee in time to have the
case heard in June"
1T should be noted, however, the
answer continues, that the opinion
of the lower court answering its
decision was filed February 10. 1913,
and the formal findings. conclusion
and order were filed March II, 1913.
Almost three months, therefore,
have elapsed since the date of the
decision and counsel for the ad-
ministration who are specialists
in the field of law involved, have
just been able to complete their
brief. 1t is obviously unreasonable
for them to attempt to limit in
advance the time allowed for the
preparation for the brief for the
appellee"
Other Cases Delayed.
The OPA motion to advance the
case in the Court of Appeals de-
clares the effect of the judgment
appealed from has been to halt for
the time being the effective use of
the injunction sanctioned to secure
compliance with the Emergency
Price Control Act of 1912"
The motion declares the District
Court decision has caused the OPA
to delay In great many cases the
institutional action against law vio-
lators until judicial determine
ton of this case by the Court Of
Appeals"
The motion to advance quotes a
section Of the Price Control Act as
follows: ANY such court shall adj
vance on the docket and expedite
the disposition Of any criminal or
other proceedings brought before it
under this section"

0DT Order Continues
Speed Limit Exemption

BY the Associated Press.
Trucks making emergency deliv-
cries for the Army, Navy and Mari
time Commission may continue to
exceed the national 35-mile speed
limit pending completion of tire
wear tests, the Office of Defense
Transportation ruled today.
ODT put the plan into effect
March l for a 60-day trial, but re-
ported today that tire wear tests
could not be completed before July
l. In the meantime, trucks display.
ing emergency pennants may con.
tinue to operate above the 35-mile
limit.
The order relieves trucks onl,
from the provisions of national speec
and load restrictions, and not from
State or municipal regulations. State
authorities, however, have been asked
to cooperate in the experiment.

nying citizenship to Orientals and
refusing to permit immigration of
anyone ineligible to naturalization.
The policy of Oriental exclusion has
cost us sorely in the world and still
does. 1t has helped to make enemies
of the japanese and it still stands as
an obstacle to good relations with our
allies, the Chinese.
A number of bills have been intro
duced in Congress to alleviate the
situation. They would allow Chinese
resident aliens to become naturalized
citizens or would open the door to
Chinese immigration on the same re-
stricted basis as immigration from
other countries, or both. Although
progress in bringing them to a vote
in Congress has run into opposition,
sentiment and reason are both on the
side of relaxation of the present laws.
The bugaboo of ''yellow flood"
has been exploded many times but
always reappears to scare the weak
willed into fearing any relaxation of
the exclusion law. AS matter of
fact, if Chinese immigration were
placed on the same basis as that from
European countries, it would allow
only 80 Chinese a year to come in.
That is hardly a flood, but it would
make world of difference in show
ing the Chinese that our fine words
about equality are not meaningless.
