ByYoung Republicans
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Aug. 16.-Delegates to
meeting Of the New England
Council OF Young Republican Clubs
yesterday placed themselves on rec
ord as opposed to the suit brought
by the Government against the As
sociated Press under the antitrust
laws. because, they said, This coun-
Gil sees this action to be an effort
on the part Of the Government to
interfere with free collection and
distribution of news and therefore
blow at the freedom Of the press. y
A two-part resolution adopted
unanimously yesterday said:
Il. The council is on record
against interference with the COL
lection of news at its source on
matters of national and interna-
tional policies.
%. The council is on record
against the suit instituted by the
Government against the Associated
Press under the antitrust laws, be
cause this council sees an effort to
interfere with free collection and
distribution of news.
The council sees that having the
Associated Press placed in the same
category as a common carrier
eventually will lead to interference
with the news policies of the Amer
ican press and demoralize the press
! throughout the United States"

Of bond-buying campaign.
A year ago the Army put on a
travelling show, at which time it
exhibited its own equipment and
some captured pieces all over the
country. But never before has any
thing like next months show been
tried. The idea originated in the
Treasury, it was reported, as a
means Of proving to the people Of
this area that they are getting
something for their War bond
money The War Department took
it up with alacrity.
Four Bands to Play.
Details of the program are still
in the embryonic stage, but a few
features have already been worked
out. For example, 1t Is hoped that
the changing of the White House
guard, one of the Army's most color
full ceremonies, can be staged in the
arena every afternoon at 4:45 o'clock.
At least four bands will be on hand
to provide martial music-the WAC
Band from Fort Oglethorpe, Ga,
and the three bands attached to the
military district Of Washington. Ar
rangements will be made to bring
noted personalities from the enter
tainment world to the Army show,
and any celebrities who happen to
be anywhere near the city during
the 18-day run of the fair" will
probably be drafted for an appear
ance.

BILE down barriers. Jeeps will hop
around the grounds. The public
will be taught about chemical war
fare and will be invited to walk
through gas-fllled chambers-wear-
ing gas masks, Of course.
Other Shows Planned.
Every part Of the Army will be
represented. Segments Of the serv-
ice not readily available here will
be imported and equipment that is
not on hand hereabouts will be
moved In from other areas.
Similar SHOWS in other cities are
already being projected by the War
and Treasury Departments, using
whatever troops and equipment may
be available in these localities, as a
means of spurring the Third War
Bond Drive.
But this is gong to be the big
show-right here In Washington, a
member Of Gen. Surles' stan said
washington is the Capital and
ought to have the greatest spectacle
Of all. We're going to give the pub

Appeals Court Denies
Commission to ReoItor

The Court of Appeals today re-
versed District Court decision
which had granted Guy Whiteford,
real estate broker, commission ot
per cent for the rental to the
Government of a Hecht Co. ware

The Court of Appeals held that
the evidence was not sufficient for
the jury to find that the appellee
Mr.. Whiteford, was the procuring
cause of the lease. or that the prop.
erty was rented as the direct result
of his efforts.
Under the terms of the District
Court jury decision, Mr. Whiteford
was awarded a commission of S.

sher commissions from the Hecht
Co. during occupancy of the prop

Hopes Of Broadening
Social Security in '43
Dimmed by Tax Aims
BY ]. A. O,LEARY.

Administration plans for far.
reaching expansion Of the Social
Security Act will have little chance
for consideration, IN Congress until
next year. mainly because Of the I'M
pending new tax bill, It was pre-
dicted in highly reliable quarters at
the Capitol today.
This development came on the
heels Of statement by Senator
Wagner. Democrat, Of siew York.
Saturday. that he would urge hear
ings next month and early action on
the new social security bill, which
extends coverage to millions not un-
der the present law, creates addi-
tional forms Of social insurance and
proposes special benefits for return
ing members Of the armed forces.
The new program, however. calls
for increasing the social security
payroll contribution to 6 per cent
each from the employer and em-
ploye, and there appeared little
doubt from today's developments
that no serious consideration will
be given to that program until
both houses have drafted and
passed another wartime general tax
bill. This Is expected to take the
rest of 1943.
There also were definite signs To-
day that considerable opposition
will develop to the proposal TO use
the new social security program as
the means for aiding returning SOL
diers at the end of the war. It was
suggested in the same reliable quar-
ters that efforts will be made to
continue to keep veterans legisla-
ton separate from general social
security plans.
One close student of revenue
legislation said today that If Con-
gress is going to consider q gross
payroll tax Of II per cent for social
security, 1t would be bound to az
feet the problem Of raising general
revenue in the new tax bill. This
was one Of the reasons for the
strong indication that nothing will
be done about social security ex-
pansion until "A general tax bill Is
disposed Of.

Norway's Police Head
Reported Executed
By the Associated Press.


STOCKHOLM, Aug. 16-A Ger
man announcement from Oslo de-
clared today that Gunnar Eilifsen
chief of Norway's civil police, had
been executed and that the execu-
ton of other Norwegian officers was
threatened in a purge to compel the
police to enforce Nazi occupation
orders.
Eilifsen was killed at dawn by a
firing squad, it was announced.
/. It was added that when num-
Der of other officers refused to sign
q declaration of loyalty, Jonas Lie,
minister of police, warned that they
would be court-martialed today and
shot tomorrow. The officers then
signed.
An Oslo report gave this account
Of the shooting.
? A Norwegian special court sem
fenced Eilifsen to death for refusing
to order his men to arrest women
who failed to report for general
mobilization.
The Nazi governor general of Nor
way, Joseph Terboven, refused to
modify the death penalty. After
the execution this morning all police
officers were summoned to barracks
in Oslo and Lie told them what
had happened and said, The same
fate awaits others who refuse to
ohey."
Lie then instructed the officers
to sign the loyalty declaration.
Some signed. but the majority re-
fused and Lie was reported to have
shouted angrily:
This now is question of life
or death. Those who refuse to sign
will be court-martialed today and
shot tomorrow"

Nq6 Newsprint Cut
Seen # Manpower
Needs Are Not Met
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
MONTREAL, Aug. l6.-A United
States congressional committee in
vestigating newsprint, although
holding out the possibility of in
creased paper production, declared
yesterday the alternative was a re-
duction Of 80 per cent from current
levels Unless manpower recon-
mendations of the Canadian indus
try are carried out.
Chairman Boren of Oklahoma
said in statement that the action
of Arthur MacNamara, Canadian
selective service chief, in urging
farmers to help meet the manpower
demand "is good thing, but in it
self probably will not completely
solve the problem"
IF the farmers are reached by
Mr.. MacNamara's message" Repre-
sentative Boren said, comprehend
the situation and respond this fall,
1t will go a long way toward restor-
ing normal production of pulpwood.
"If it and other measures fail,
American newspapers and other
publications will be forced again
to curtail the vital services they
render"
The best possibility" Representa-
tive Boren said, would be full, nor
NAL production. possible with added
woods labor and the use of prisoners
of war. This should not be an in
stance of too little and too late" he
declared.
Commenting on steps in the
United States toward meeting the
shortage of help in the woods-real
reason for the scarcity of pulpwood,
Representative Boren said:
while the War Manpower Com
mission is issuing new top essen
tiality list of occupations, it is only
superimposed on the group including
pulpwood cutting. The danger is
that pulpwood might be buried be-
meath overriding priorities on man
power. ...
The committe has warned the
VINO OF the urgency for avoiding
this danger"
On the present prospects of news
print, Representative Boren said:
The Canadian industry assures
us 1t will be able to continue pres
ent shipping rates until May, 1914.
There is enough wood in sight-cut
or on the way to mills-to main
tain production that long. But un-
less more men are made available,
inventories by then would be ex-
hausted."
Besides Representative Boren,
committee members include Repre-
sentatives Wolverton, Republican,
OF New Jersey; Beckworth, Demo-
crat, of Texas; Brown, Republican.
of Ohio, and Hairless, Democrat, of
Arizona.

forces now retreating from Sicily be
moved north of the capital.
The London Express asserted that
no declaration by Badoglio can
bring peace in penny numbers to
any parts of Italy. His declaration
of three weeks ago is one we will
continue to take note of-the war
goes on. The war goes on or it
stops for Italy as whole"
The Express saw the hand of
Hitler guiding Badoglio and said:
so far as the open city declara-
tion has any meaning it is this
that the Germans and not the
Italians are getting ready to set up
a new italian war capital farther
north. 1t is advance notice that
when the Germans fall back they
mean to take the Italian govern
ment with them, willing or unwill-
ing. 1t Is yet another indication
that Badoglio is not unwilling"
Acceptance Is Approved.
The London News Chronicle listed
three reasons why the proposal
should not be accepted.
First" the News Chronicle said,
because in circumstances of total
war what might constitute an open
city is almost incapable of satisfac-
tory definition.
Second, because this difficulty
becomes much greater in the case
OF a city which. like Rome, at the
moment is not under threat of mill
tary occupation, but merely seeking
immunity from air bombardment.
Third, because in any case with
every day that passes there is in
creasing reason to doubt the good
faith OF the Badoglio government.
The London Mirror asserted that
the Germans may have suggested
the move, adding that at least they
have agreed to it. IF all that has
to be done when bombs begin to
fall Is to declare a place open then
new, effective and extremely in
expensive means of air defense has
been found the Mirror said.
The London Herald said: There
Is only one standard of judgment
which can apply to the Italian pro-
posal-if 1t were granted would the
war effort be impeded thereby If
the answer is yes then the request
must be refused"
