Bars Under WASP Bill
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A corps of more than $500 men
who entered flight training in 1912
may win their long-sought commits
sions as Air Forces officers on the
coattails of congressional action to
commission the Army's women
pilots.
Members of the Women's Auxil-

Army officers by passage of the
Costello bill, slated to come before
the House shortly.
Attached is an amendment by
Representative Brooks. Democrat,
Of Louisiana which would direct the
Army to commission all qualified"
pilots of the abandoned war train
ing program of the Civil Aeronau-
tics Authority
Mr.. Brooks told the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee that most
Of the men were on the eve of grad
uation when word came in January
that the course had been abandoned.
He said his amendment is simply
recognition of the fact that these
men were trained as flyers and
should be commissioned as flyers

1ojo Tells His People
Germans Confidently
Wait for Invasion
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, May 15.-Nazi propa-
sandistS, humping their chests in
new displays of defiance as the day
of the Allies western invasion draws
nearer, had an assist today from
Premier Gen. Hideki TOTO, who told
the Japanese people the German
armed forces are confident and
impatient" as they await the ex-
pected assault.
The British, meanwhile. address,
Ing the peoples of Occupied Europe
in "a languages in a radio broad
cast, asked them to move immedi-
ateSs from the vicinity of important
railway and industrial installations
prime targets in the preinvasion
hammering of fortress Europe.
In friendly but firm tone a
BBC speaker said our pilots real
ize that the lives and home of our
friends are at stake. They there
fore exercise the greatest possible
care, but the scale of these attacks
inevitably will add to the sufferings
which you-our staunch friends
have so courageously endured in this
war.
we know the extreme difficulty
of evacuation at the present mo-
urgently to take every step possible
to move away from the vicinity of
all important railway and indus
trial installations.
TOTO, who knows that If the west
ern invasion succeeds his country
stands alone against the Allied
might, delivered a radio pep talk
picturing Germany as fully pre-
pared to meet any situation she may
fine herself confronted with" and
added that Germany has perfected
position enabling her to carry
through with counteroffensive oper-
Rtions."
The British people were warned
again that these "counteroffensive
moves might include an attempt by
the Nazis to land on the British
Isles in the hope of disrupting the
plans of the Allied invasion chief
tains. The warning was sounded by
Field Marshal Lord Ironside, former
chief of the British imperial defense
staff.
There was reason to believe, on
the basis of reports from Sweden,
that Field Marshal Erwin Rommel,
the German anti-invasion chief, was
being proclaimed the potential sa-
vior of the Reich, rather than Hitler.
Nazi propaganda, by turns defeat
ist and propagandist, favofs the de-
feated, but still popular Rommel
in the role of leading q spectacular
counterinvasion move.
Talk of vast combat preparations
along the Atlantic Wall came from
PraRganda Minister Goebbels as he
attempted to bolster the home front
and impress outsiders. He cited
the assembly of elite parachute
troops to grapple with the invaders.

Mrs. Roosevelt Cites
Free Maternity Care
For Service Wives

Servicemen's wives who are ex-
pecting babies were urged today by
Mrs. Roosevelt to Apply for free
maternity and infant care provided
nationally under a $2S, 100000 pro-
gram administered by the Children's
Bureau and each State health de-
partment.
Miss Katherine Lenroot, head of
the Children's Bureau, was present
at Mrs Roosevelt's press conference
today to describe details of the pro-
gram, which has cared for more
than 309,00 mothers and babies
since it started year ago.
A supplemental appropriation to
support the program through June
80 was signed by the President last
Saturday after numbers of wives
applying had exceeded those origi-
nally anticipated. Total cost of
prenatal birth and postpartum care
for each mother and baby had aver
aged SIT.
Four Grades Eligible.
Wives of enlisted personnel in the
first four grades of all the services
are eligible. The wife applies
through her own doctor, any hos
pital clinic, the District Health De-
partment or the Red Cross. When
she has submitted evidence of the
legality of her marriage and of her
husbands rank, all medical and hos
pital costs are assumed for her.
Miss Ler1root said that the pro-
gram was an emergency one. and
organized at the request of the
States, and not any master STRAIT
egy" by the ChiIdren's Bureau to
promote public group health care,
- . May Boost Birth Rate. : fla>
+ Her bureau has always advocated
a certain amount of free public
medical care, however, she added,
saying that decision on postwar con-
tinuation of such a maternity care
program would be up to Congress
and the people. In the long run,
she concluded in answer to ques-
tioning, such care probably" would
increase the national birth rate.
Under the plan, each physician
signs a promise not to charge the
wife any fee, even though the aver
age paid to him by the Government
is about $45 for the total care. The
mothers are usually cared for in a
ward, but a private room and spe-
cial care are paid for by the Gov
ernment when necessary.

Adequate Production
OF Farm Equipment
Pledged by Nelson

Chairman Donald M. Nelson Of
the War Production Board has given
farm leaders assurances that Moth
ing is going to interfere with manu-
facture of farm equipment as long
as production does not cut into the
invasion program, it was learned to-
day.
While the program was far behind
quotas early last winter, it now Is al
most on schedule, it was empha-
SLICED by WPB. The program would
be up to date had not the landing
craft cut across 1t, spokesman for
the board said, causing a shortage
of castings and forgings. The situ-
alton was hard to correct because
of manpower shortage in the
foundries.
Quotas to Be Revised.
At a conference with Edward
ONeal of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, Albert s. Goss
of the National Grange and John
Davies of the National Council of
Co-operatives, Mr.. Nelson promised
two things, according to the farm
leaders:
l. Manufacturing quotas will. be
revised every three months so they
will be lowered In the case Of man
ufactures who have been unwilling
or unable to meet them and raised
for those who can produce more.
2. If any manufacturer can pro-
duce more than his quota without
using material from the war program
df he has material or inventory and
is not taking it from needed war
equipment also manufactured in his
plant), he will be given the green
light.
The conference followed a call Mr.
O'Neal made last week on War Food
Administrator Jones. Mr.. Jones told
him that he also was dissatisfied
with the way the production of
needed farm equipment was lag
ging, despite the fact that materials
had been allocated for them r =;
Mr.. ONeal represented to Mr.. Nell
| son that there was especial dis
satisfaction in farm circles. because
lof, an order limiting tractor manu-
facturers to their quota. Mr.. Nelson
justified this by citing the foundry
situation and the resulting shortage
Of castings. "a >--
Situation Disturbs Nelson.
Mr.. Nelson said he was disturbed
by the situation, the farm leaders
reported, and denied that it was the
boards intention to keep the major
manufacturers in their historical
production positions in the industry.
Because WPB farm equipment Sec
ton is manned from the industry
dts head Col. Charles E. Wiman is
from the John Deere Plow Coz
there has been much criticism of
the board in farm circles. 1t has
been charged that the small manu-
facturers were being held back and
were not allowed to make up for
the failure of the big manufacturers
loaded with war contracts to pro-
duce. Mr.. Nelson denied this was
| the policy of the board.
The farm leaders emphasized there
had been no charge that WPB had
"falsified" its figures on farm ma
chinery production. The figures
were misleading, they said, as long
as production Jagged behind pub
lished quotas.

cross the river to direct artillery fire,
he unhesitatingly took command OF
the company and led the men
through violent enemy artillery,
mortar and small arms fire.
I'm the confusion and fury Of
desperate fighting, he calmly and
efficiently directed the men through
the barbed wire entanglements, then
ordered them to dig in. Kelly per-
sonally reconnoitered open terrain
constantly exposed to hostile fire
and located strategic outpost posi-
tions.

Don Juan Is Reported
Foreseeing Fall Of
Franco # Allies Win
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, May 15.-Don Juan,
claimant to the Spanish throne, was
understood today to have predicted
the collapse of Generalissimo Fran
cisco Frances regime With an Allied
victory over Germany, and to have
demanded Frances resignation and
the restoration of the monarchy to
forestal terrorist extremism."
This renewal of the pretender's de-
mand to take the throne his father
left in 1881 was reported to have
been made in a letter written Febru-
ary IA from Lausanne, Switzerland,
where the Prince has been living in
exile.
Copies of the purported letter, ad-
dressed to Don Alfonso de Orleans,
Don Juan's representative in Spain,
have circulated widely in Spain and
also have been received in London.
~. Conference Reported.
Although 1t was not known wheth-
er Don Alfonso presented it to
Franco, the later was reported to
have seen him IN March. and to
nave informed him that he must
take the consequences"
Don Alfonso, who was a general
In the Spanish Air Force, now is
reported to be living in semiexile
at his palace in Cadiz instead of
his normal residence at Seville.
The letter said that "the fall of
the present regime, which will be
inevitable If the Allies triumph, will
bring extremist terrorism" unless
forestalled by the restoration of the
monarchy.
Silent After Fathers Death.
The letter declared that after
the death of his father, King AL
fonso XIII in 1941, Don Juan re-
mained silent on his differences
with the Franco regime because a
declaration might have served as a
pretext for entry into Spain of
foreign troops In the aid of a regime
similar to that of their country, or
the landing on Spanish shores of
forces of other belligerents, thus
creating internal disorder and max
ing Spain theater of operations"
Afther the collapse of Fascism
in Italy and again in January of
this year. Don Juan urged Franco
to step down, according to the letter,
but the latter's reply showed an
absolute lack of understanding of
the true needs of Spain"
