WEST HAVEN, Conn, July B.
The Federal Bureau OF Investiga-
ton today entered the nine-State
clueless search for pretty Rose Marie
Brancato, the New Haven Journal
Courier's 27-year-old woman's page
and school editor.
Despite her parents hope that she
would return safely. nothing was
heard of her last night, nor did
police learn anything which would
give them a starting point in their
efforts to locate her.
The FBI threw its weight into
the search this morning, on the
theory that the attractive, dark
haired girl might have been alb
Quoted But friends of the girl
conceded there was no evidence to
support that theory any more than
any other explanation OF her mys-
terious disappearance Monday eve
ming.
Miss Brancato had worked Monday
morning at the American Women
Volunteer Service headquarters and
later had reported at the Journal
Courier for her brief holiday duties.
Fellow newspaper employees said
she arrived at the ONCE at about 8
o'clock and left 10 minutes later to
attend party. No one could be To-
Gated who could recall having seen
her at the party. Her car was found
where she had parked 1t in the rear
of the Journal-Courier Building.

Gen. Giraud said he had not visit

in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and talked
with Vice Admiral John H. Hoover,
United States commander of Carib-

Admiral Hoover that Admiral Robert

first German admission that the

Nazi propaganda previously had
held to the line that it was the
Russians who opened the attack
the morning Of July S.
The Russians, reporting that "the
Red Army has before it the largest
and most powerfully armed enemy
any country ever has faced" said the
Germans had brought up air REIN
forcements from Western Europe
and Yugoslavia as we'll as from other
sectors of the eastern front.
Both sides said great air battles
were raging.

said in last nights broadcast,

Fierce tank clashes added great

materials are available" he asserted.
Il think we can do it
Mr.. Nelson called the brief con-
ference at the request of reporters
who sought reasons for the slack
ened pace of production revealed in
his monthly production report issued
Tuesday
Manpower shortages and the ne
cessity for training new workers
were second factor In the let
down, Mr.. Nelson said, and the May
floods did their part In many places
by requiring workers to leave ma
chimes and fight rising waters which
threatened their plants.
There were no materials shortages
Of any consequence in May or June,
he said.
No Comment on Patterson.
Mr.. Nelson declined to discuss the
recent assertion by Undersecretary
of War Patterson that a slump in
material production for the Army
Ground Forces could be attributed
to oyerconfdence. complacency and
too much emphasis on postwar
planning.
II haven't seen enough of those
factors to talk about them," Mr..
Nelson said. II do want to say that
we are not satisfied at all with the
May figures or with the June
figures"
Asked whether it was possible
that manufacturers had been
alarmed by the so-called "produc-
ton cutback" and might have re-
tarded their pace to spread out the
work on their order books, Mr.. Mel
son conceded that it was human
nature" to become afraid Of sweep

were being shut down or curtailed.
There are no sweeping changes, "

a letter from Price Administrator
Brown attributing the shortage OF
commercial corn to increased de-
mands, rather than to price CELL
ines.
Declaring that hog production had
increased in a year by 16,0O0, 600
head, Mr.. Brown said it might be
necessary to use wheat and other
small grains for feeding purposes
and import Canadian barley and
oats to supplement the domestic
corn supply.
Meanwhile. Administrator N. E.
Dodd of the Agriculture Adjustment
Agency declared yesterday that
even if corn prices were raised to
81 bushel. no more of the grain
would be available for feed than at
present.
He emphasized farmers want a
Government guarantee of adequate
feed next winter rather than an in
crease in the present ceiling price
of SLOT bushel.
His statement was made at a
meeting called by Midwest members
of Congress to consider the current
corn shortage.
Several Oppose Views.
Mr.. Dodd's views were opposed
vigorously by several corn-belt Rep
resentatives, who contended q price
boost of Is cents would turn loose
thousands of bushels of stored corn.

Mr.. Dodd contended that even if
the price were raised the supply was
so low only few spectators would
get the corn.
Mr.. Dodd said some corn is

have been assured they would be

But Mrs. Ickes was out.
Action Promised.
Said Mr.. Anderson:
On the basis of the statement
from Dr. Byrd's Office that he has
talked 70 Mr.. Ickes about this. I'm
going to give Kobayashi a statement
OF availability-if I don't hear from
Mrs. Ickes by 2 O'Clock"
And there the matter stands.
Meanwhile, Kobayashi was sched-
uled to start on his new job today
and DR.. Byrd was looking for hous-
ing accommodations for him on the
campus. A woman's club. hearing
the university had judo instructor
called to say 1t would like to have
judo lessons.
Kobayashi will teach all men stu
dents at the university the Army
jiu jitsu because, DR.. Byrd said. "our
youngsters have got to go over there
to fight, and they might as well
learn all their Japanese) tricks"
Dr. Byrd said that last summer he
had asked his student body If they
would like to have instruction in
judo. He received an enthusiastic
response, he said A similar response
was received from women's clubs
and other groups he approached on
the subject.
Prospective Instructors Investigated.
He said he wrote to the War Re-
location Authority for instructors
and was told to address his request
to camp in Arizona. There he was
given several names, among them
Kobayashi's. The prospective judo
instructors were investigated both
by military intelligence and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, DR.
Byrd said.
While negotiations were hanging
fire because it was not certain
whether the judo program would be
taught by an Army instructor or a
civilian, Kobayashi took the farm
job, DR.. Byrd recounted.
Knowing that the university had
applied for judo instructor, Kob-
ayashi notified DR.. Byrd he was
here, the university president said.
DR.. Byrd tolo the would-be instruc-
tor that he would have to ask Mr..
Ickes' permission before offering
him job.
The exchange of letters between
the university president and Mr..
Ickes was described as courteous.
DR.. Byrd said he might like to use
the man and Mr.. Ickes responsed
that it was perfectly all right with
him.
II didn'.. 60 out surreptitiously and
take him. DR.. Byrd said. II had
been trying to get judo instructor
for a year and Secretary Ickes said
he was delighted"
Talks Little japanese.
Asked If he thought there might
be resentment concerning the hir-
ing Of nese-American, DR..
Byrd replied that his new instruc-
tor barely talked Japanese-"only
enough for his mother to under
stand him"
On the score of salary, DR.. Byrd
said he was paying Kobayashi less
than any OF his other instructors
received.
With Kobayashi goes his wife, but
that is no problem since she was
not working at the farm. The ques-
tion Of Statement of availability, /"
however, will arise again in the
fall when, according to Mrs. Ickes,
Fred's brother. Roy, leaves the farm.
Roy doesn't like the climate here.
