London, May II - (U.P) - Mar shal Erwin Rommel. German anti invasion commander, has seized control of Frances bomb-crippled railways, the London Daily Mail said today, presumably in a desper- ate effort to keep supplies and re- Inducements moving to his vast wall defenses.
 A Vichy broadcast reported that all passenger train service in France will be cancelled from next Monday as a further step toward keeping the hnes free for essential military traffic.

 The fourth term campaign picked up 118 convention votes in five states this week. Washington has IS votes. If MT. Roosevelt could depend on the entire New York delegation, he would be reasonably certain now of approx imately 600 convention votes various ly pledged, informally committed or reasonably sure. A bare majority in the Democratic convention will be 589 votes.

0PA Held Unlikely
ToLift tobacco CeiIinq
Changes May Be Made
In Regulation, Aide Says

The Office of Price Administra-
ton today gave little hope to South
ern Maryland tobacco sellers that
la 52-cent-per-pound average CELL
ing price, established by the agency
the day before the opening of the
tobacco market, would be lifted.
Meanwhile, meeting of ware
housemen and tobacco growers was
scheduled tonight at Upper Marl-
boro to determine whether the auc-
tions would be resumed Monday.
Sales were stopped at two of Marl-
boro's three warehouses soon after
the opening of the market Tues
day, and at warehouses at Wal
dorf, Hughesville and La Plata at
the regular closing hour that day
The third Marlboro warehouse did
not open for sales.
An OPA spokesman said sym
pathetic consideration" was being
given the Maryland tobacco situa-
ton, but that no action by the
price control agency could be
promised.
He added that the OPA might
consider" changing the ceiling regu-
lations to compensate for the ''un-
usually poor quality of tobacco" on
the market this year This might
take the form of a higher ceiling
for high grades of tobacco-the
only grades that can be used by
cigarette manufacturers
Buyers representing the large to-
bacco companies pointed out that
a comparatively small percentage
of the crop could be used in
cigarettes.
