play an impotant part in the politi-
cal affairs of occupied Italy. This
prospect has increased the anxiety
of many European and English OBJ
servers to get the Italian war fin
ished so that they can find out what
America has in mind.
The true nature of American war;
time and postwar foreign policy is
the greatest international political
inponderable for our friends aboard
in this part. of the world. Both in
England and Sweden, where this cor
respondent recently spent several
weeks, expressions of concern have
grown during the last five weeks,
lest American abandonment of iso-
lation will mean that the United
States is going to insist that Euro
pean political, economic and social
life be managed according to Ameri-
can standards.
Want Policy Clarified.
A foreign minister of an exiled
government remarked to me during
dinner the other night that he
would prefer an icolated America
to dictatorial America. The source
of apprehension that America plans
to insist that things be done its way
is tWofold
One, history of Franco American
relations since last November 8.
Two, reluctance of the admins
tration in Washington to make clear
in specific detail the shape of its
program for American participation
in world affairs during and after the
war.
Europeans fail to appreciate the
difficulties confronting an American
Government in arriving at details of
a foreign policy. They forget also
that the United States is not die
tatorial about the nature of the in
ternal politics of Latin American
countries, despite our deep interest
in the Western Hemisphere.
Friendship for America is very
deep and real here. 1t is heart
warming to find it in the lowest
classes and among the highest gov
ernment officers. The main convic-
ton of all is that there cannot be
a lasting peace unless the United
States, Britain and Russia collab-
crate in its maintenance, even to the
point where blood has to be shed for
peace.

Subsidies 'Subterfuge
ForIncreasing Wages
Midwest Conferees Call
On Congress to Block
'III-Advised Experiment.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 23-The Mid
west Farm Bureau Conference Of
II States In resolution adopted
unanimously today declared that
proposed Government food subsi-
/ dies were "a subterfuge for increas-
ing wages already at infia-
tionary levels"
The resolution said:
The subsidy and price rollback
on foods proposed by the admins
tration is subterfuge for increas-
ing wages and other consumer in
comes already at inflationary levels.
TT will be expensive to administer,
benefits will be small in proportion
to total cost. it will continue the
already existing ruinous confusion.
it contributes to rather than controls
imitation. 1t will decrease rather than
increase both agricultural and indus
trial production, it will impose fur
her regimentation of production and
distribution and will aggragate our
postwar price and income problem.
For these and other equally i'm
portant reasons this conference of
Midwest farm bureaus representing
II States and 100000 members re-
spectfully petitions our Federal ad-
ministrative authorities to cease
their effort to inflict this program
upon u.s.
I'VE call upon cur Congress to
enact legislation which will prevent
any general continuance or revival
of this ill-advised experiment"
The II States represented at the
conference were Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Michigan. Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska. North and South
Dakota, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Aid in Paper Industry
Labor Problem Seen
Use of War Prisoners
Approved, Magazine Says

NEW YORK, June 23.-The maga-
zine Printers Ink in this weeks
issue says that under certain con-
ditions prisoners of war can be used
to cut wood for the production of
paper.
The magazine based it's assertion
on telegram from Maj Gen. Allen
w. Gullion, provost marshal general,
which said:
prisoners of war are being en-
ployed primarily on agricultural
work projects after certification by
War Manpower Commission that
free labor is not available locally
They can only be used on other
projects under similar conditions
when no agricultural projects are
available. Camp commanders are
authorized to deal directly with in
dlvldualS and firms desiring use of
prisoner of war labor
Gen. Gullion's telegram to Print
erS' Ink was in line with suggestion
earlier this month by Executive Sec
retary E. w. Tinker of the American
Paper and Pulp Association. that
prisoners of war might be partial
answer to the manpower shortage in
the pulp section of the paper
industry.
Mr.. Tinker, estimating that 10000
additional workers would help stave
off an acute scarcity of paper, urged
that the Government take steps to
help out an industry rated as
essential.
Cutting of pulp wood in many
sections of the United States, par
ticularly in the South, IS done by
agricultural workers and farmers,
who sell the wood to mills making
pulp for types of paper which are in
heavy demand by war industries as
we'll as civilian business.
The Government recently revealed
that there were 36688 AXIS captives
in % prison camps in this country.

He said the conflicting claims on
personnel seemed perfectly SIM
ple' to him. The estimate of 10O.-

sent work load. We may need new
workers next January, but that
wouldn't justify our keeping en-

of the reasons they give, you're bet

The five recommendations made
by Mr.. Mitchell for promoting eff
cheney in Government service are:
l. Lump-sum payment for all &C
crued leave to workers quitting the
Government, instead of paying them
month after month.
2. Maintain one personnel file.
The practice today is to have as
high as 10 personnel files on one
worker, who gets a file every time
he changes his job.
3. Annual efficiency ratings of the
worker should not have to be sent
to the Civil Service Committee.
This rating card could be kept in
his own department and that should
suffice.
4. The employe should have only
one record of his annual and sick
leave.
5. Codifcation and clarifcation of
personnel laws and regulations in an
effort to weed out overlapping,
duplication and time and paper
waste and to discard outmoded per-
sonnel practices.

On Stephan Hanging
Plans to Ask High Court
Review of Decision
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Attorney Nicholas Salowich of De-
troit said today he would ask a
Supreme Court justice to delay the
hanging of Max Stephan. convicted
traitor, scheduled for July O.
Interviewed as he was waiting to
confer with Attorney General Bid
die and Daniel Lyons. the Justice
Departments pardon attorney, Mr.
Salowich said that he would ask
the court to review decision in
which the 9Th Federal Court at
Cincinnati upheld a Federal district
court in its denial Of new trial
for Stephan and said there is no
reversible error on the record"
Stephan is a Detroit restaurant
owner convicted of aiding the escape
of Hans Peter Krug, captured Ger
man flyer.
The conference at the Justice De-
partment presumably was in line
with Mr.. Salowich's effort to get
presidential intervention in the case
He tried yesterday without success
to see President Roosevelt, and he
indicated Dtoday that he might be
laying the groundwork for a new ap-
proach at the White House,
inasmuch as the recommendation
of the Attorney General probably
would be sought in any presidential
action relating to pardon or COM
mutation.
Mr.. Salowich said that he had
conferred with Mr.. Lyons yesterday
and had been told that the Presi-
dent could not act until all the legal
steps had been exhausted This
would include, the attorney said, a
new attempt to get the Supreme
Court to review the case, which it
previously had refused to do.
Mr.. Salowich said later that he
felt sure that the Attorney General
had an open mind with respect to
any plea which might be made to
the President and would not be pref
udiced by any further court steps.
Mr.. Salowich said that he had asked
that the copy of the Sixth Circuit
Court decision be sent him imme-
diately and that if it arrived to-
night he expected to be able to go
to the Supreme Court tomorrow,

away from war factories, to move

WPB Refuses 10 Lift
Ban on Gold Mininq
Statement Says Order
Hos Aided Labor Supply
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The War Production Board said
today it has decided to keep in eff
feet its order closing on-essential
gold mines.
Gold mine operators and some
members of Congress from gold
mining States recently had urged
WPB to set aside or modify the
order, contending that it had had
a "ruinous" effect on some gold min
ing communities and that it had not
greatly contributed to the labor
supply in other mines because of the
reluctance Of miners to leave their
homes.
In its statement today, WPB said
evidence submitted to it showed the
closing order had resulted in an in
crease in available labor supplies
and stepped up production Of such
critical minerals as copper, zinc and
lead.
Since the labor situation in the
mining industry especially copper
has been extremely critical for some
time, it is imperative that every
available relief be sought and every
possible remedy be applied at this
time in order to meet the essential
needs of the armed forces" the state
ment said
WPB added that at least 1900 of
the displaced gold miners had moved
into nonferrous metal mines. 500
had been placed in other essential
industries and 300 referred to other
Jobs with placement not yet reported.
In addition to this valuable labor
pool acquired by the closing order
much critical material has become
available for essential uses, WPB
said, estimating the value of this
material at about SIS 100000. In
addition, the board contended, criti-
cal materials formerly used in gold
mine operations had been saved.
