an investigation, Mr.. Moran said,
he aided Mr.. Kerns investigators.
i gave his Investigators all the
data they wanted because I knew
there was nothing wrong" the
grayhaired witness testified.
Tracing events, he said Mr.. Flynn
telephoned him shortly before the
New York City mayoralty election
in 1941 and he went to see Mr..
Flynn at hotel (Biltmore).
Mr. Flynn told him that he want
ed an auto parking lot at his old
farm" near Lake Mahopac filled
with granite blocks, Mr.. Moran
said, and asked Mr.. Moran if. in his
spare time, he couldn't go up and
consult with Mrs. Wilhelmena
Haas, who was landscaping the
place.
Wanted Private Contractor.
Nj. Flynn asked him to get a
private contractor to do the work.
forward any bills to Mrs. Haas, and
Just see that I don't get over
charged" Mr. Moran testified.
1t was customary, the witness con-
tinued. for him to give expert advice
to taxpayers who had problems on
their property, and he asked Fred
Dennerlein. foreman Of block paw
ing gang, to go up to Mr.. Flynn's
place with him.
After couple of conferences with
Mrs. Haas and Mrs. Flynn, Mr.
Moran said he told them:
"I1l go down In New York and see
il We can get a contractor to furnish
the blocks"
Mr.. Dennerlein proposed, Mr..
Moran said, that after workmen en-
ployed by Mrs. Haas had done the
excavating and the block and sand
had been obtained, he would get
four or five men and have them
come up here and throw them tthe
blocks in"
Avoided Involvement.
Mr.. Moran said he called J. Leo
pold Co. to do the trucking and
believed he had that arranged, but
a week later this firm laid down on
the job"
Mr.. Moran said Mr.. Dennerlein
then said he would get the blocks
from some dump" if Mr.. Moran
would arrange for the trucks.
Mr.. Kern said in previous testi-
mony that the blocks trucked to Mr..
Flynn's property had been cleaned
by city workmen and were not of
the type found in an ordinary dump.
Mr.. Moran said he finally ar
ranged with the Frank Trucking
Co. opera ted by Frank Tonnelli, to
haul blocks to Mr. Flynn's property
for SIT a load. He said there were
30 city trucks available in a garage
which he could have used if he had
desired.
The reason l called this trucking
company was so that Mr.. Flynn and
l wouldn't be involved" Mr.. Moran
testified. He said some other con-
tractors might have made the haul
for nothing, but he refrained from
calling them.
Denneriein Held Responsible.
Mr. Moran testified that Mr.. Den
nerlein was entirely responsible for
using city-oWned station wagons to
take the workmen to Mr.. Flynn's
estate, and he said that Mr.. Denner-
lein admitted to him eventually
that the paving blocks came from
city yard.
Never, declared the witness, was
there any intention to commit a
crime. He said old paving blocks
sold for about a penny apiece, and
sometimes were brought from ships
ballast, also that some contractors
disposed of them by dumping them
IN the river, or used them TO fill
sWampy places.
Mr.. Moran explained that city
employees who worked on an annual
basis were allowed a months vaca-
ton with pay, and per diem en-

School Lunch Project
Will Be Extended,
Mason Announces
Says He and Van Hynine
Have Decided to Salvage
Program Until April !
BY MARION WADE DOYLE.

The school lunch program will
continue at least until April /,
Commissioner Guy Mason an
nounced today.
The Commissioner said he and
Conrad Van Hyning. retiring well
fare director, had decided to salvage
the program for at least two more
months by using additional "Spon-
sor's contributions administered by
Mr.. Van Hyning.
The school lunch program had
been threatened with collapse jan
uary 81 because the Work Projects
Administration can no longer paw
central kitchen personnel to prepare
the food. Money for the food it elf
has always come from sponsors
contributions administered by Mr..
Van Hyning Commissioner Mason
explained the contributions would
now be used to pay for both per-
sonnel and food as long as the fund
holds out, probably April l.
wv HbiiS 'ptH
SAfter April there are only two
ways we can get money to run the
program Commissioner Mason said.
We will apply for Lanham Act
funds. and if they are not granted.
we could then ask Congress for a
regular appropriation for school
lunches"
The Commissioner was not at all
sure, he said, that the Board Of
Commissioners would go as far as
asking for a regular congressional
appropriation. He indicated that
the groundwork had been laid for
such request, however, by asking
Harry M. Gardner. in charge of
the program under Mr.. Van Hyning.

New Anticorrosive

chromium, which now protects zinc

materiel, may be released shortly for
other military uses through the en-

General Manager Henry S. Bar

Mr.. Bartholomew claimed that the
new chemical material was found
impervious after more than 200
hours of exposure to salt spray under
high humidity, which he said was
the most eXacting test an anucor-
roSive could undergo.
The official asserted that the
chemical formed so thin a coating
that the dimensions of small parts
to which it was applied were not
altered and the coating was not in
jured by bending, twisting or shap-
ing.
Mr. Bartholomew foresaW wide use

the Army had reported it highly

ing tests and that the Navy already
was using the solution at some Of
its yards and airfields.
The anticorrosive would play an
important part in cutting the cost OF
postwar products Mr.. Bartholomew
said. He added that the Rheem
Company was experimenting with
it in surfaoing the new steel penny
and that the tests indicated the
solution would eliminate the two

 Stockholm, September 1. - (UP) - Germany's greatly weakened po- Sition at the beginning of the fifth year of the war was demonstrated clearly today by recent developments in the Scandinavian countries.
 The current situation in north ern Europe may be summed up as follows:
 l. Denmark has substituted sa- botage and open resistance for the comparative docility of the first years of Nazi occupation.
 2. Finland has displayed a sud- den desire for e separate peace with Russia.
 3. Norway has maintained dis ciplined passive resistance but the Norwegian quislings are so nervous that they have resorted to new methods of terrorism and Oppres- sion.
 {. Sweden's attitude toward Ger many has stiffened, AS shown by the stoppage of Maxi transit traffic and protests against sinking of her fish- ing boats.
 Germany remains q potent mill tary foe. but she has lost the ini- tiative.
 Besides heavy losses of men, ma terial and territory in Russia. Ger many and Italy lost important foot holds in North Africa, Sicily and other strategic Mediterranean is- lands.

 Later President Roosevelt at his regular press and radio conference said that things relative to a con- ference with Stalin were coming along pretty well.
 Brenden Bracken Comments
 Brenden Bracken, the British mir1- ister of information, said at a press conference that political and post war problems must be discussed by MT. Roosevelt and Churchill "be- cause you never know when the war might end. He emphasized that he held no hope for an early end of the war, but said consideration of political and postwar problems now was necessary so that the Allies are not caught by a surprise ending as they were in 1918.
 Bracken said he did not believe the German army was going to collapse in a very short space of time.' The same thing, he added, applied to the Japanese.
 "r do not believe" he said, "that there is any possibility that our Axis enemies will be destroyed this year"

trance into the conflict at any time could alter its course materially, al- though the potential effect of Turkish entrance has been reversed almost completely.
 Tn the spring of 1941, when the Germans overwhelmed Greece, the invaders could have swept through undefended Syria and Palestine to- ward Suez, if neutral Turkey, SUD- ported by an army, had not barred the way and ignored German at- tempts to bribe or threaten her into the war.
 Today the effect of Turkish en- trance into the war would be quite the contrary. providing the Allies with passage into the Balkans by land and thereby eliminating the hazards of amphibious attack and the need to bypass Crete and the Dodecanese.
 Although the Turkish govern ment has not committed itself one way or the other in the war, it has become increasingly friendly to the British and Americans now that the threat of German invasion has evaporated.
 Premier Sukru Saracoglu even went to the extent recently of de- claring that Turkey was willing to coliaborate with Britain and Amer lea in maintaining order in the Balkans, thus committing the nae ton to active postwar cooperation with the Allies at least. Although Turkey has remained neutral, the war has cost her a great deal economically because she has had to maintain powerful de- lenses to discourage invasion.
 Besides the daily cost of Enain- taining q large army, Turkey also was obliged to spend vast amounts to modeTnlEe her World War ! equipment, being constantly aware that Istanbili was only lG minutes flight from kaM airdr0mes On the Bulgarian frontier.

MADRID

 Madrid, Sep. 1. - (UP) - The majority of Spaniards were con- vinced today the beginning of the fifth year of the war-that the Allies were well along the road to victory.
 The government of GeneralisSimo Francisco Franco was determined, however, to remain aloof from the conflict and maintain Spain's terri torial integrity. Still in the midst of reconstruction and suffering cer- tain hardships resulting from her own civil war, Spain's neutrality would be dictated by economic necessity under any circumstances.
 Franco, as he once indicated, Is willing to act as peace negotiator for either side in the war. He once p:e- dicted that the war would end in a stalemate and took the position that 1t was unnecessary for the belliger- ents to fight to the finish.
 The Franco regime Is eager to avoid possible entanglemeEts arising from the war and Is known to fear the course of communism. The spanish attitude is that Russia must be prevented from extending her influence to western Europe,
 Spain desires a long period of peace to rehabilltate her trade and social life and to erase civil war bitterness.

200 divisions. to S,OOO,OOO men, supported by about 5000 planes. Yet this great mass of men and arnor had failed to develop summer of- fensive and had to resort to defen- sive fighting and withdrawals.
 Already, some Russian military experts have appraised the battle of the Kursk Salient last July aS the greatest Soviet victory of the war; even more important than Stalin- grad--because 1t nipped a Naxi of- fenslve and opened the way for the capture of Orel, Delgorod, Kharkov and many other cities and towns.
 The battle of Kursk revealed a. mong other things that the Red Army had achieved superiority in fire power and leadership.
 On July 5, the Germans massed an estimated 25 per cent of all their forces in Russia including almost all of their armored divisions around the Kursk Salient. By July l2 the Russians not only had broken the back of the German drive but had launched Q counter offensive.
 It is possible to reveal that the Soviet fire power Is seven times greater for the infantry and at least three times greater for the artillery than twas when Russia entered the war more than 26 months ago, The Russians also have proved that they can establish air superiority at any given sector.
 Steadily increasing Russian arma- ment production is the answer to this great improvement in fire power, although Allied lend-lease aid has played an important part.

NORTH AFRICA
BY REYNOLDS PACKARD

Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 Allied Headquarters, North Africa, Sept. 1-CUP)-The beginning of Q fifth year of war finds the Italian people hoping almost desperately for way out of the conflict which they never wanted to enter,
 I was in Rome on Sept. l, 1889. l saw the nationwide rejoicing which followed @ communique that Italy will take no initiative whatever to- ward military operations"
 The announcement came after Q morning of political jitters. The Italian people had been tense with fear that the pact of steel would drag them into war. When they learned 1t would not, joyous holi- day spirit swept through the city.
 After that stayed on in Italy and watched the people live in increas- ing misery as the war swept around their nation and finally engulfed them June 10, 1940.
 In those days the NaziS held forth promise of empire to the Italians but later the existing Fascist enl- pire began to cT7lrnble and finally to disappear. Italians became aware that the war was ruining their country.
 Today, with Sicily conquered, with Italian arms humiliated and with Mussolini and his son-in-law Count Galeazzo Ciano overthrown, 1t is ob- vious the Italians want to get out of the war.
 There were observers who believed at the beginning of the Sicilian campagn that the Italian people were capable of a political somer- sault to escape the fury of victori- ous Allied arms. They executed just such somersault when they busted Mussolini and Fascisn.
 But they failed to land outside of the war. I'm confidence the trou- ble was that the Germans held them back. The Allies now, however, are now only three miles across the straits of Messina from the Italian mainland and Allied planes are smashing at Italian cities.
 The time seems ripe for the 1tal- fans to shake themselves loose.
 The people are fed up and have had opportunity to learn that the Allies are prepared to treat them with the best consideration that can be given e conquered people.

Estimates aS to when the Naxl dream of world domination will
 crash in the dust of total defeat cov-
 cred almost any time interva. dur- ing the next l2 months.
 But events of the past six weeks
 the smashing Russian summer of- < fenslve, the sudden toppling of Mus
 sollni, the Allied conquest of Sicily,
 the perfection of the air hambur-
 gerization technique and the re- verberations which have shaken FTitler's Europe from Denmark to 5 Bulgaria caused almost every in-
 formed observer to revise radically predictions on the end of the war. The closest survey of high Anglo American and exile government quarters, both military and political, < as well as canvass of opinion in European neutral capitals revealed only Q handful of persons expect the war to last much more than 8 year.
 \ The shortest estimates of the wars . end universally were predicated on ! the possibility of an internal Ger {. man crackup. Such a crackup was most generally regarded as most probable after the sudden collapse of Mussolini revealed how far dry rot could progress within a totali- tarian state before signs could be noted from the outside.
 X Tho best informed persons on the 2 German internal situation believed , Hitler with the strengthened powers given Heinrich Himmler as interior
 minister, should be able to hold o1 ! collapse through the winter.
 s The estimates faced imponderables ! such as the effects of the continued Russian successes, day by day and week by week intensihcation Of the
 air offensive which already has wrecked Hamburg and is rolling to devastation every metropolitan cen. { ter in the Reich, Itaiy's withdrawal < from the war which is inevitable 2 either by equalization, or conquest 2 within matter of Weeks, exten- ; vion of revolt within the occupied s countries and disaffection among < The satellites which Is expected to 1. take one or more of Germany's AL
 lies from the war within coming ' months.
 Another intangible factor was the
 which was implicit in Churchilrs
 Allied second front in the west

 The biggest single war factor ot the past year affecting Germany proper was the massed Allied all attacks with their destruction of in- dustries and Reorganization of civil ian life.
 Adolf Hitler gave the answer tc the question How Is German Morale?" On August 24 when he made Heinrich Hinmler the num- Der one Nazi next to the Fuehrer himself by appointing the Gestapo and storm troop chief as minister ot interior. There can be no doubt that Hitler has. given Himmler a free hand to take any measures he wishes to prevent collapse on the home front.
