Reds Reported Making
Three New Demands

STOCKHOLM, June % (P).-The

said today the Russians have offered
to cease war against Finland if the
Firms accept the borders which were
settled on in 1910 and give the Red
Army temporary freedom of move
ment through Finland, certain air.
fields and bases on the Aaland Is
lands on a temporary basis.
Three demands in addition to
the 1910 border arrangement have
"been brought to the attention of
the Finnish government" the news
paper said, naming them as:
First, the right to pass through
any part of Finland for the purpose
of concentrating Red Army troops
against Col. Gen. Eduard Diet's
Northern Finland divisions.
Second, the right to operate from
sirplane bases in Osterbotten so
the Red Air Force can attack areas
occupied by Gen. Dietl's troops and
his Baltic communications.
Third, the right to hold bases in
the Aaland Islands to strengthen
the assault on Gen. Dietl's supply
lines.
After quoting only anonymous
"most reliable sources" for the
peace conditions named in its first
edition, Aftonbladet later attributed
the story to information the New
York Times Stockholm correspond
. ent has learned"

LytteIton's 'Travesty'
Speech Causes Varied
Reactions in Congress
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An assertion by Capt. Oliver Lyt-
telton, British Minister of Produc-
ton, that the United States pro-
voked Japan to war aroused varying
reaction in congressional circles yes
terday.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Illi-
nois, on one hand, called Capt. Lyt-
tleton's statement a "slur" against
the United States and told the Sem
ate the minister's resignation should
be demanded.
But Senator Shipstead, Repub-
lican, of Minnesota, noting that
Capt. Lyttelton had apologized, said
he didn't think it necessary to seek
the resignation and expressed belief
that Capt. Lyttelton had just made
an honest mistake"
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
described Capt. Lyttelton's apology
in the House of Commons as very
wholesome and comprehensive"
statement and asserted that the
minister's continuance in Office was
something to be left to Parliament.
To Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana the Lyttelton statement
was "one of the most amazing" of
the war. He told a press conference
in Chicago that he had never seen
one so critical of President Roose-
welt.
eff an American had made such a
statement, he undoubtedly would be
included in the sedition trial now
going on In Washington" Senator
Wheeler said.
The attacks on Capt. Lyttelton
came in the wake of an unusual
statement by Secretary of State Hull
describing Capt. Lyttelton's assertion
as entirely in error" This country,
Mr.. Hull asserted, was looking solely
after its own interests Of "self de-
-fense" in supplying aid to Great
Britain through lease-lend prior to
the war.
Capt. Lyttelton was quoted by two
American reporters as telling the
American Chamber of Commerce in
London Tuesday that it was a
"Travesty of history to say that
America was forced into war;"
The remark was interpolated into
Capt. Lyttelton's text. Subsequently
the minister issued a version which
did not contain the remark.
Then in his apology to the House
Of Commons. he declared any such
statement was "manifestly untrue.
But he did not say he was misquoted
and took the blame for ANY misun-
derstanding.
Lord Halifax, British Ambassador
is expected to call on Secretary Hull
in the next day or so with an official
explanation of the incident.

Charles de Gaulle's installation Of

who simply brought his men into
the beachhead when he came ashore
last week and set them to work as

Coulet June 13 along with Col.

Coulet said he saw no reason why
there should be any friction between

Allied civil affairs represents the

people" Coulet said.
In Bayeux Coulet removed the
subprefect, man who. had been

Coulet said that under present

WA May Bar Corn
And Restrict Wheat
For Whisky Making
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Distillers may be barred from us
ing corn--a favorite raw material
in making beverage alcohol during
the August whisky making holiday
granted by the War Production
Board.
Because corn supplies are at the
lowest level since the 1887 drought
year, the Government may limit dis
tillers to the use Of wheat, rye and
possibly Caribbean rnolassas In max
ing whisky. Supplies Of these raw
materials are more plentiful.
Power to control the use Of agri-
cultural materials In making bev-
erage and industrial alcohol Is held
by War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones'. -
Reports circulated that Mr.. Jones
opposes the whisky making holiday
because of a tight livestock afeed
situation. A spokesman said the
food administrator had no comment
on this report or on the action of
the WPB in informing distillers that
their facilities would not be needed
In August for the production Of in
dustrial alcohol for war purposes.
While the WPB did not say the
distillers would make beverage alco-
hol in August, they viii be free to do
so unless the VIA denies them the
use OF raw materials.
| Sources close to Mr.. Jones ex-
lpressed the belief that the only
action he will take will be to issue
orders prohibiting the use of corn
'and possibly placing restrictions on
the use of wheat. These restrictions
would require use of more rye than
distillers otherwise would take. Sup
plies of rye are larger, relatively
speaking, than wheat.
An order prohibiting use Of corn
would be designed to reassure hog
farmers In 126 Midwestern corn
belt counties who have parted with
some of their corn to help meet
professors needs for that grain
in making essential war materials.
A 60-day order expiring tomorrow
prohibits the sale of corn in these
: counties except to the Government
flor professors or to feeders having
Government purchase permit.
Officials emphasize that none of
the corn the VIA hopes to get in
