Must Extend
Leose-Lend

washington, March 3. - (UP) -
Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson
told the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee today that failure to extend
the lend lease program would pro
long the war and increase the cost
to our people in lives and dollars"
GAS the tempo of the fighting in
both the Atlantic and the Pacific
areas increases" he said, "the need
for the uninterrupted flow Of lend
lease supplies becomes more vital.
mot to extend this act in this
fateful year of our nations history,
after our experience has shown how
powerful a factor this policy has
been and continues to be, would be
unthinkable.
Stimson appeared to support
pending legislation to extend the
three year-old lend-lease program
one year beyond its present June 30
expiration date. Acting Secretary of
State Edward r. Stettinils, Jr.,
former lend-lease administrator, and
Foreign Economic Administrator
Leo Crowley testified yesterday in
behalf Of the resolution.
Stimson told the committee he was
convinced that now in the inter-
ests of the country" the program
should most certainly be extended"
cessation of the flow of lend-lease
supplies and materiel would: great
ly cripple the forces of our Allies"
he added.
I'VE are now In the full passage
Of war where the full accumulation
Of our strength must be thrown
against the enemy and our CONT
nuity of effort maintained" Slim
son said. Experience in this war
as In all wars-has shown that
the greater the preponderance we
have in men and material in any
given action, the fewer the casualties
and the quicker the issue is resolved
in our favor"
He said Soviet Russia had per-
formed miracles both from an in
dustrial and a military viewpoint.
but she is to a substantial degree
dependent upon the United States
in maintaining her lines of communi-
cations"
1.-THE grand strategy of the United
Nations today is following har-
monious course which the United
States believes to be sound he said.
when the power of our offensive
Is reaching its full tide, it Is no time
to liquidate a method by which that
unity and effectiveness had been
secured"

Amy statement that we are fore
ing Rhode Island automobile owners
TO sell their automobiles because
we won't give them gasoline to get
back home Is foolish" he declared.
People who came here were all
advised not TO do so and also advised
that Florida rationing boards could
not issue them gasoline because they
did not have the Jurisdiction to do
So" he said.
Yesterday the Rhode Island senate
passed O resolution calling on OPA
officials In their state to arrange
Tor gasoline coupons to get strand
ed" Rhode islanders back home from
Florida. The OPA turned down the
proposal while Florida authorities
continued to stick by their previous
rulings which prohibited out-of-state
vacauoners from securing gasoline
aliotments to return them to their
homes. Florida OPA officials point
ed out that all tourists had been
warned many months ago they
would not be given gasoline for their
return trip north.

Seeks Peace
BY JOHN A. PARIS


UNITED Press staff Correspondent
London, March 3.-(UP)-Euro-
pean reports said today that Ru-
mania, following the example OF
Finland and Bulgaria, has taken
steps toward sounding out the Allies
on the possibilities of a separate
peace.
Rumania sent O special envoy to
Stockholm to contact Nine. Alex
andra Kollontai, Soviet Ambassador
to Sweden, a United Press dispatch
from Ankara quoted Budapest re-
ports as saying.
The dispatch said Premier Mich
olas Kallay Of Hungary was ques-
toned at a government party meet
ing in Budapest Wednesday regard
ing the departure of a high Rumau-
ian official for Stockholm by spe-
cial plane.
1t was Nine. Kollontai who con-
Quoted the preliminary peace talks
with former Premier Juho K. Paasi-
XVI of Finland last month and laid
down the six conditions under which
the Soviets would be willing to grant
Finland an arlniStice.
The London Daily Express report
ed from Stockholm that Russia has
given Finland until Sunday to ac-
cept the Armisticc terms.
IF by Sunday no satisfactory re-
ply has been sent to Moscow, the
offer will be considered non-valid,"
the Express said. THE Films have
been told of the decision through
the channel which acted as inter-
mediary between Nine. Kollontai
and Paasikivi.
Finnish efforts to wriggle out OF
q direct yes or no are provoking a
strong reaction in Moscow"
London observers believed Finland
was hesitating because of Russia's
inSistence that she intern upwards
of 100000 German troops in Finland
preliminary to any peace negotia-
tons.
Firms Stumped
The Firms believe themselves
unable to intern the Germans with
out help, these sources said, but Sre
reluctant to accept Russia's mo-
ferred aid. Once this obstacle is re-
moved, Finland may accept Russia's
terms readily.
Prince Cyril, regent of Bulgaria,
may clarity Bulgarias position In a
speech which the Hungarian radio
SAID he would make later today. Re-
ports that Bulgaria again has ex-
tended peace feelers to Britain fol-
lowed the visit OF an architect
named Sevov, member of the Bull
garian court, to Turkey.
Leon Kay, United Press Staff Cor
respondent at Ankara, said Bulgaria,
while willing to make peace with
Britain and the United States. so
far has insisted on retaining occu-
pied territory, especially Greek
Thrace, which gave her an outlet to
the Aegean sea. Bulgaria still MAIN
tainS relations with with Russia.

VocutionerS

Providence, r. l., March SUPP
State OPA Administrator Christie
pher Del Sesto has rejected a legis-
iaitve request that he help Rhode
Islanders stranded in Florida be-
cause of their inability to obtain
gasoline ration coupons.
Del Sesto fatty refused to con-
slider the request last night, but
said that II the vacationists did re-
turn home, he would be eager to
question them as to how they got
enough gasoline t. get to Florida IN
the first place"
Earlier, the State Senate had
passed a resolution calling on Del
Sesto to see that stranded Rhode
Islanders were given sufficient gaso-
line coupons to come home. The
resolution was introduced by Sen
Ambrose p. Mccoy I'D Pawtucket
who claimed that many OF the states
residents were taken for q sleigh
ride" during the Florida real estate
boom and that the same thing now
was happening to persons stranded
In the resort-state.
In addition, Mccoy charged that
certain individuals" in Florida were
putting the squeeze" on stranfseS
In an effort TO force them TO sell
their automobiles at q loss.

Hartford, Conn.,, March ~.
P) - George E. Warren, 80, former

under a federal court conviction to-
day on a charge Of sending home
made bomb and threatening letter
to John j. O'Grady, Jr., Branford
who succeeded him as head Of the

men deliberated nearly seven hours
before returning a verdict Of guilty
last night, and Judge J. Joseph
Smith set March 10 for sentence.
Warren is liable to Imprisonment
for five years, a $4,000 fine, or
both.
The bomb, made from a rat trap
and a 30 calibre cartridge. was
mailed to O'Grady last October, but
it exploded harmlessly when opened
by a secretary. The letter related
that I'VE will use better powder or
steel next time unless you are at
least 1000 miles from here"
Government experts testified that
samples of Warren's hand printing
were identical with the printing on
the bomb package. Warren denied

summer after the Navy had can
celled a 100000 contract, and
threatened suit against officers of
