put their fears to rest. His Easter
visit to Cairo may have been Just a
coincidence of course, but history
is short of instances Of generals

battle to make social calls well over
1000 miles away.
Following that has come an i'm

military and civilian chiefs now in
progress in Cairo. Gen. Montgom-

present-which may not be surpris-
ing because the official definition

ence ends at Tripoli-but he is also
conspicuous by the absence of re-
ports that he is active elsewhere.
1t isn't like Gen. Montgomery or
his 9th Army to be out of the lime
light for long.
Last time he has been reported
publicly appears to have been that
dark night less than a week ago
when he informed his famed desert
fighters that they were not going to

would like to know Is: where are
they going?

Court UphoIds OPA .
In Candy Price Rule

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, May 1.-THE United
States Circuit Court of Appeals ruled
yesterday that Mars, Inc, Chicago
candy manufacturing company, vio-
lated oPA price ceilings by reducing
size and weight of It's candy bars
without corresponding reduction
in price.
The opinion reversed a decree Of
District Judge Merrill E. Otis of
Kansas City who previously dis
missed the OPA's price ceiling eva
sion suit. The OPA said the bars
contained II per cent less candy.
The candy company commended it
sells its product by the number of
candy bars and not by weight but
the Appeals Court held "the circum-
stance Is of no effect"

Axis outposts in North Africa were
crumbling, German propagandists
tried to focus attention on home

The Berlin radio, probably for the

months these massive concrete
buildings were among the unmen-

the radio that these towers are gi-

To those of us who were in Ber-

OFT SIGNS

NEW YORK, Sept. s-tR-
Mel OFT, about to complete his
second season managing the
New York Giants with his club
in the National league cellar,
was given a new contract today
for three years.
In making the announcement
President Horace Stoneham de-
clined to discuss the terms of
the agreement, but it has been
estimated that OFT was paid
SIS, 200 annually for his serv-
ices as player-manager in 1912
and 1913 and probably will
continue at the same figure.
However, the veteran right
fielder, whom John McGraw
brought directly from high
school in New Orleans in 1925,
has indicated that he would not
play regularly next year.
Last year, after succeeding
Bill Terry as manager, OFT
led the Giants to third place
with what was generally con-
sidered a fine job Of master
minding. But this year the
club, manned by failing old
timers like Carl Hubbell, Dick
Bartell. Billy urges, Ernie
ombardi and OFT himself, has
never been contender for the
first division.

The speakers revealed that the
Victory line would involve the lay
ing of two IL 3-4 inch pipes. The
cost would be approximately $780,

could be financed through h e
emergency-born Defense P mt
Corporation. Mild climate, it was
said. would promote rapid con-
struction, and the line would likely
be ready for operation within nine
months.
Capacity of the proposed pipe
line was estimated to be 100000
to 200, 600. barrels daily, and the
saving to taxpayers of 81 per bar
rel.
Mr.. Swami told his radio audi

throat of an unwilling community.

Variety In Mat Fights
Slated For ITALIAN Hall

Two matches Of entirely differ
ent callbre are scheduled for the
wrestling affair at ITALIAN Hall
tonight.
Jimmy Coffield, a very popular
grappler who is known for his
clean tactics, will meet Bill Went
worth, newcomer who is also re.
puted to frown on the business Of
eye-gouging, kick lg and biting as
means of winning his battles,
Both men are students of scientific
wrestling and the match will prob
ably prove to be one of the most
entertaining features presented
here in some time.
In the main event, two of the
meanest guys in matdom are to
square off. Cowboy Luttrall, the
squlnch-eyed roughneck from Tex
as, will tackle the Golden Ter
ror', one Bobby Stewart, whose
800 pounds of beef are extremely
hard to conquer. The well-known
French Angel is one of the few
Wrestlers that Stewart has failed
to defeat. A recent match in Balti-
more proved for once and for all
that the Angel was too much for
Bobby.
AS the crowd often becomes ex-
cited to the point of entering the
ring when a match gets too rough,
Promoter Causey has requested all
patrons to restrain themselves if
the boys begin to rip things apart.
Police will be stationed at the
ringside and adequate protection
will be provided for the spectators
in the event of free-for-all.
