Secret Sugar
Cartel Barred
Rep. Crawford Declares
Faith Not Kept

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1-(P)
Rep. Crawford (R-Mich) con-
tends that secret negotiations
for purchase of the 1945 and
1916 Cuban sugar crops consti-
tutes a failure to keep faith
with the people of the United
State"
He added in a statement that
the transaction will be handled
in the White House by President
Roosevelt and President-elect
Ramon Grau Sam Martin of
Cuba who is visiting Washing
ton.
"There will be no definite an
nouncement until a big part Of
this years production is dis
posed Of" Crawford said. "Such
procedure should not be accept
ed by our people and should be
condemned on every spin of the
wheel"
Informed sources predict that
Cuba will hold out for mini
mum of 3.26 cents a pound, a
market for all her sugar, and
United States assistance in pre-
venting price collapse after the
war when areas now out of pro-
duction resume sending crops to
markets. Cuba received $2.65
cents for this years crop.
eff a price of three cents a
pound to Cuba were an open
price permitted to reflect itself
in higher retail costs, the con-
tinental trade would also bene-
fit" Crawford said, But there
would be a reaction unfavorable
to Cuba throughout the United
States on the grounds that her
demands had upped the retail
prices.
consequently, the Cuban ne
gotiators are seeking to profit
from the fact that the United
States, under wartime emer-
gency legislation, no longer col
lects duty from itself on Sugar
which it buys from Cuba, but
nevertheless figures that duty in
retail prices"
"At this uncertain time, for
Cuba to send her President-elect
here secretly to negotiate with
President Roosevelt for guar
antee of a bottom price for the
l945 and 1916 crops, with a
clause giving her the benefit of
any added price advance which
might occur, and at the same
time allowing Cuba to carry on
a tremendously increased pro-
duction in comparison with the
prewar period, will be of almost
incalculable benefit to that Re-
public" Crawford said.
He added that by encouraging
a big sugar production, the
United. States was putting Cuba
in a position to bargain for big
ger production quotas when re-
straints are again imposed.

New Google Helps Navy

SOUTHBRIDGE, Mass, Sept.
I - up - A new light-control-
ling google has aided the Navy
in curbing the submarine men,
ace, the American Optical Com
pany announced today.
A pair of special anti-glare
lenses which can be rotated by
hand, reducing or eliminating
water and light reflections, fea-
lures the new device. A suf-
ficient range of rotation is pro-
vided to minimize concealing
glare for any position of the OBJ
server with respect to the sun
and water.
The gogle also has proven use
full to blimp and plane crews in
locating survivors from tor
pedoed ships, the announcement
added.

On one major point both
branches ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
compensation for war workers
should remain in the hands of
the states.
Senator George, ,(D-Ga), au-
thor of the Senate version of the
Reconversion bill, said the
Houses action:
Il had hoped the House would
decide to cover Federal Civilian
employees under the Unemploy-
ment Compensation program, at
the State level. l also had hoped
the House would restore the
provision for contributions to
assist workers to return to their
homes, or to the location of 9TH
er employment, in hardship
cases.
Il regret that those two fea-
lures were omitted. My personal
feeling is that the House could
have been more liberal, and-fn
conference l hope we will be
able to work something out. 1t
seems eminently fair that Fed
eral employees be on the same
basis as their neighbors, as far
as unemployment compensation
is concerned.
1T is true of course, that most
war workers should have saved
enough to be table to take them
selves to new location, or back
home, but l feel that some pro-
vision is essential to take care
of the hardship cases. The ad-
ministrator should have discre-
ton in those cases to make con-
tributions."
House and Senate had only
routine tasks today, arranging
to ADJOURN over the holiday un-
til Tuesday.

BuIgars Seal.
Off Frontier
: Reds Moss Might
Along Borders

LONDON, Sept. 1-(P-Bul-
garia, now suing the western
Allies for peace, sealed off her
Turkish frontier today in an UNI
expected move as the Red Army
massed its might along her
northern borders.
A dispatch last night from
Istanbul gave no hint as to
whether the closing order APP
piled only to the Turkish sec
ton of Bulgaria's border. The
action appeared to imply i'm
pending developments within
the country.
Only vest erd lay Moscow
strongly rebuked the Sofia gov
eminent for declaring itself a
neutral and then failing to in
tern German armed forces re-
naming in Bulgarian territory.
One effect of the Turkish-Bul-
garian border closing, the Is
tanbul dispatch said, was to bar
for the time being the exchange
of Turkish and German diplo-
mats, which had been scheduled
for today at the frontier.
An Ankara dispatch said the
Turkish foreign office had decid-
ed TO intern, as of today, the 80
Nazi diplomats and $50 German
civilians who were awaiting ex-
change.
This decision was announced
after 100 Turkish diplomats and
about 800 Turkish civilians en-
route from Germany had failed
to show up at the border.
The German diplomats will
be informed at their embassy and
consulates. The Turkish foreign
office said guards would be
placed and none of the Ger
mans permitted to leave the
grounds.
Earlier in the week the Mos
cow newspaper Pravda, organ of
the Communist party, asserted
that since Turkey broke rela-
tons with Germany the Nazis
had been left free to continue
espionage in Turkey. An Ankara
dispatch, however, quoted Off
cial Allied sources there as say
ing they were satisfied the vigi-
lence of Turkish authorities had
prevented the Germans from en-
gaging in illegal activities.
In Moscow it was learned as
Romanian and Russian repre-
sentatives began peace negotia-
tions that Russia, Britain and
the United States may join in
a declaration concerning Ro-
claims to northern tram
sylvania, annexed in 1910 by
Hungary with Hitler's approval.

Congress Steps-Up Effort
Prior to Brief Holiday

WASHINGTON, Sept. / Up
Congress cleaned up odds am
ends today for a brief Labor
Day holiday, after clearing ma
jor issues of the summer session
into compromise-seeking con-
ference committees.
The House, in burst of
speed, passed the War Demobil-
ization and Reconversion Bill
late yesterday by a shouted
vote, Immediately appointed
conferees to meet with senator's
in an effort to find a common
ground between two diverse
measures.
The bills twin, surplus prof.
erty disposal, is being threshed
out in a similar joint committee.
The House Reconversion Bill
sets up machinery to unwind
the nations gigantic war eff
fort but it differs widely from
the Senate proposal. The House
knocked out Federal plans to
refrain war workers for other
jobs, return the migratory en-
ployes to their homes at govern
ment expense and put 100000
Federal employees under unem-
ployment compensation protec-
ton. A small bloc in the House
sought to have these provisions
revived, along with a guaran-
teed S25 a week in unemploy-
ment compensation for SO weeks
but was overridden by a vote of
1873 to 81.

Paralysis Group
Is Making Survey
OF County Cases

The Valley county chapter of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis has been asked to compile
a comprehensive record of all in
fantile paralysis victims now reSid-

Intended mainly to serve as a
guide to expanding the services of
the chapter, this compilation will
also form an integral part of the
nationwide survey undertaken by the
National Foundation to further its
pledge of assuring aid to all polio
victims regardless of age, race, creed
or color.
Mrs. G.. A. Clark, chairman of the

berS of its women's division, headed
by Miss Aagot Liam, will assist in
compiling this data. Records will be
made in duplicate so that a copy
be sent to headquarters of the
National Foundation to complete the
statistical data for the entire nation.
From information already fur
nished by a number of chapters of
the foundation, it has been deter
that many unsupported needs
exist. In some instances, handicap
ped polios hitherto unknown to the
local chapter, were found to be in
need of wheelchairs, crutches or
other orthopedic appliances, as well
medical and surgical care. Others
needed help in arranging for trans

The local chapter stands ready to
assist all these ways, backed by the

purpose. The chapter retains fifty
per cent of all monies collected to
carry on this service. The other fifty
percent, which goes to national
headquarters. helps support the
nationwide medical and research
program and, in epidemic emer-
gencies, is used to provide all assist
ance to any stricken area, Mrs. Clark
