 Aetlyating Figure
 The aetiyating figure in the ear- tel, BeFge said, was the late IyaF Kreuger. the Swedish match king, l" who committed suicide in Paris. France, on March i2, 1882. Kreuger, through his Kreuger and Toll e0m- pany. controlled the Swedish Match company. Kretnger and Toll is now defnnet, but the Swedish Match company continued KreugeF policies ln the cartel Berge said,
 'The cartel excludes cheap paper matches made in America from any foreign countries where matches are egpeNsiye, he said.
 Berge said that as a result Of an agreement between American manufacturers and German potash manufacturer, between the Slrst and second world wars practically no ehlorate of potash was lDanus faetured in this country. Since the start of the present war, American companies nave built from six to seven potash plants.

 10 was decided to forestall con- sinuance of the trial, which opened last Thursday in city court, untll Tuesday May 9, so that an early morning start may be undertaken leaving the entire day free for trial procedure.
 The defendant, charged with eight counts of fradulent voting dating back to ioSe, is 0 former Republican Helectman and Republican party district leader. The charges were first instituted by Albert o. Taller, Republican registrar of voters who presented his findings to city auth critics. The charges were based on the receipt by the Republican regis~ trar of an anonymous telephone call implying that the defendants vot- ing status was not proper.
 The defendant was subsequently, faced by the city authorities as to the charges following which he rec signed without admission Of guilt. The charges were then handed over Co the city Prosecutor Alber Hum- mel a Republican appointee. Sub- sequently both city court judges here, Republican appointees, dis- qualified themselves and the New Haven jurist was called in to pre- side.
 The trial is of unusual interest be- cause of the political flavor per- meating its character. Aside from the legal principles involved the matter seems fraught with political implications, simply because all in- volved. directly or indirectly. are leading members of the local Re- publican party.
 It has been reported that the site uation has resulted in a still wider split among the local c. O. P. party which already is replete with open breaks among its members. Various factions within the party have broken away from what was once the principal c. O. P. body. to form more or less independent groups. Many members of the party have thrown their support to the former Republican selectman, now on trial, in answer to what they charge is "centralized political power by the few"
 Stelfi was always one of the most active of district leaders, particular ly among the voters of Italian de- scent. and it has been reported that most of this latter group are ex. tending their favorable support to- ward the defendant. It has been stated that this latter element will be greatly instrumental in detract- ing uower from the leaders of the "old party group. The Italian vot- ing element within the city both Democratic and Republican constt- tutes a most powerful bloc.
 The defendant is charged with fraudulent voting as result of find- ings that he allegedly was made a voter in 1887. illegally, said period having been two years prior to his having been made a citizen. Repub- lican voting list. It is expected that

possible. The public is aroused and rightfully so"
 Sabath said he was not resorting to political maneuvers to prevent House consideration. but that it would take "a couple of days" to prepare @ report on the resolution and that the House then would be working on the tax simplification bill.
 No sidetracking
 We're certainly not going to let a political resolution like this side- track important legislation like the tax bill." Sabath said. The tax measure is scheduled to come up Wednesday.
 Meanwhile Chairman Howard W. Smith, D, Virginia, of the special House committee to investigate executive agencies, said his com mittee was ''precluded from investi- gating the Ward seizure"
 His remark was in reply to a statement by Democratic whip Rob- ert Ramspeck of Georgia that the investigation could be conducted by the Smith committee.
 The reason 1t ss not true is that when the resolution creating my committee was adopted, I told the House that it was not the purpose of the committee to investigate the War or Navy departments or acts of the President" Smith said. This is definitely an act of the President.
 Representative Glare Hoffman. R.. Michigan, charged in & speech pre- pared for delivery on the floor that the Ward seizure "discloses to the public that We have here e die- tatorship by administrative agen- eies."
 Amendment
 He introduced an amendment to the War Labor Disputes Act to pro- hibit the government from taking possession of any plant. mine or business unless a federal court finds that at least 50 per cent of the materials produced or handled goes directly into the war effort.
 Many members of both the House and Senate viewed the ward case as preclpitatlng one Of the grayest political crises of Mir. Rooseyelt's long and successful political career,
 Most of them declined to be quoted but the view was shared nlike among Democrats and Repub- leans. One notable exception was Senator James M. Tunneli. D. Del- aware, an avid Roosevelt supporter, who charged that Republicans were using the ease as "a political foot bali"
 "The political reaction Is bale aneed," Tunnell inRisted. Those who seek t as an unJustifled lnYas- ion Of civil liberties are offset by those who sincerely believe that nothing should be permitted to tn- teFFupt total war effort"
 Some Republicans whos sbeiieved that the political reaction was against MT. Roosevelt for the mos ment conceded. however, that he may be master strateglst enough 10 swing t to his own favor or at least minimize It's affect on 6 fourth term campaign,

In all fairness 10 the MoRtez-

the technical accomplishments in

Color and visual beauty are with

keeps on running through ones

On top of this the Montez.Hall
team is very nice TO look al, and
the beautiful Maria seems to get
a great deal Of fun out Of PLAYING
her energetic tITI1e gypsy role.
Perhaps Maria own SatiSfac-

from this galloping type Of

TWO STARS dot the hOrlZOn

week; Hal Leroy the amazing
eccentric dancer and Sybil Bowen,
the eccentric imperSonator.
Although they take backseat
billing TO Stan Kcnton and his
orchestra, they are by far the
most entertaining features on the
bill.
Mr.. Kenton who is a fairly re-
cent arrival in the swing set 5
album Of pin-up maestroS, has
one Of the noiSicSt number Of
musicians ever gathered together
under one baton.
Also, this tail blond and I'M
calmly orchestra leader shares a
kind Of unfortunate -lack-ef
muscular coordination with his
two soloiSts, A Miss Anita ODay,
who tries 10 sing like Martha
Raye, and a Mr. Gene Howard.
They all seem 10 ho suffering
from some kind of unCraceful st,
Vitus dance. which causes them
10 shamhlc up 10 a microphonc
shake visibly and then sing Off
key.
The band breaks itself up try
ing 10 be very funny in a st.

time.
