This may be my permanent as
signment. If it is, I sure hope TeXas
people are as nice as I've heard they
were.
noticed an article in your paper

in store for Nogales. Let's hope So.
I'd like to see it grow, because 1

I'll read all the news just as my
COPIES of The International catch

CHUNGKING. June 2l.-Japanese
forces have driven across the Lu
River and are within 65 miles of
strategic Hengyang, approximately
100 airline miles southwest of the
fallen Human Province capital of
Changsha. the Chinese high COM
mand announced today.
Hengyang, apparently the next
major goal Of the Japanese, is sit
uated on the Slang River at the
junction of the Canton -Hankow and
Hunan-Kwangsi Railways. Should
it fall the japanese would have
taken a long step toward splitting
China in half, establishing an over
land trunk railway, neutralizing a
number of Allied air bases and put
ting themselves in better position
to oppose possible American land
ings on the China coast.
The fall of Changsha was ac-
knowledged yesterday by the Chinese
high command, which said the last
defenders withdrew from the city
Sunday after inflicting heavy cas-
ualties on the Japanese. The
Chinese said the japanese had en-
ployed approximately $4,000 troops
strongly supported by artillery and
air attacks TO take the city.

House Places Unions
In Scope Of Checkup
On November Voting
Sets Up Machinery
For Biennial Inquiry
Into Possible Frauds
BY the Associated Press.


The House today set up ma
chinery for investigating any
suspected election fraud this
presidential campaign year and
for the first time wrote labor
unions into the scope of the in
vestigation.
Heretofore biennial investigation
Of Congressional campaigns has been
confined to contributions that may
have been made illegally by cor
porations or other business associa-
tions.
The House rewrote the inquiring
resolution to make susceptible to
investigation the contributions of
individuals, partnerships, corpora
tions, committees or labor unions.
In addition, attention is to be
paid to "the amounts raised, con-
tributed and expended by any labor
organizatio trade or business as
sociation and any other agency"
AS the measure came out of the
Rules Committee, it included "any
political committee connected with
a labor organization, but this
language was removed on the mo-
ton of Representative Marcantonio,
American Labor Party, New York,
who said it was singing out labor
unions too much.
The political committee phrase
was intended, Rules Committee
members said. to apply to the CIO
Political Action Committee, named
as a factor in the several special
elections this year.
Mr.. Marcantonio said the resolu-
ton. as finally drawn, takes in
everybody without singing out any
body"
Speaker Rayburn will appoint a
committee of seven House members
to conduct the Investigation.

LONDON, June 21.-Victorious
Russian troops who occupied
Finland's fortress seaport of
Viipuri yesterday drove on today
toward the capital city of Hell
sinki, where the Germans were
reported exerting pressure to
keep their small ally from suing
for peace with Premier Stain.
The Finnish radio, which told
of the Russian advance, urged all
persons whose presence was not es-
sential to evacuate Helsinki, which
lies approximately 1875 airline miles
west of Viipuri.

vanced miles beyond Viipuri."

New Political Crisis
Shaping Up in HeIsinki
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

Minister Hjalmar J. Procope of
Finland was warned by the
State Department three times
about his "inimical" activities
before he finally was declared
persona non grata, it was
learned authoritatively today. =.
At the same time, official sources
here understood that a political
crisis is shaping up in Helsinki which
may mean either more pro-Ger-
man government or the formation
of cabinet which will reopen peace
negotiations with Russia
Meanwhile. Mr.. Procope was to
leave Washington today for Finland
it was learned at the State Depart
ment.
State Department officials would
not reveal what means of trans
portation he will use.
The British government, 1t Is
known, has been asked to grant him
a safe conduct pass.
Nine. Procope, who Is expecting a
child soon, will remain here until
she feels able to travel.
Told Position Was Delicate.
In conversations with State De-
partment official, Mr.. Procope was
told several times that he should be
more careful about his utterances
and activities here if he wished to
remain on good terms with the
American Government.
1t was pointed out to him that his
position here was very delicate
one, inasmuch as he represented a
country which was at war with two
of Americas Allies, Russia and
Great Britain. He was informed
that the State Department had no
objection to any activities which
he might carry on in the legitimate
interests of his country, but that he
should realize that sharp boundary
must be defined between those ac-
tivities and others which might be
''inimical" to the interest of the
United Nations.

With British, He Soys

Coordination of operations in
the Mediterranean with those in
Northern France was one of the
main purposes of the recent con-
ferences overseas of Admiral
Ernest j. King, commander in
chief of the United States Fleet;
Gen. George C. Marshall, chief
of staff of the Army, and Gen.
Henry H. Arnold, chief of the
Army Air Forces, Admiral King
said at press conference of the
Secretary of the Navy today.
He revealed they held several
conferences with the British chief
of staff concerning the inter-
relation of the Mediterranean and
Northern France operations, and
that they also discussed, in broad
terms, the setup for the overall
conduct of the war against Japan
when the British fleet will be able
to lend hand
Saw Army, Navy Officers.
Admiral King said he and the
other American service chiefs Wis
tied all general officers on the Cher
bourg Peninsula except those in
actual contact with the enemy
Admiral King also saw all the naval
officers there, including Admirals
Kirk, Hall and Moon.
While there was some delay on
the east-west sector on account OF
the weather, indications now are
that the operations are up to
schedule, he said, adding that every
one was in fine spirits, confident
and ready to go ahead. After leav-
ing London, Admiral King said he
went to Casablanca. There he dis
cussed with Admiral Hewitt opera
tions in the Mediterranean and
Northern France.
Rockets Fell Near Quarters.
Admiral King said he was in Lon
don when the German rocket mis-
sles started coming over and that
last Friday one fell near where he
was living. He, with others, went
out to examine it. He said the
British recovered enough pieces tc
be able to reconstruct it.
The admiral also visited head
quarters Of three antisubmarine all
squadrons and went to Plymouth
