Shoe Rationinq
Held as Peril
To All Children

CHICAGO, July Is. CUPO-A gen.
Grafton of foot cripples is being pro-
duced by wartime shoe rationing
because children are not being sup
piled with new and larger shoes
often enough to permit their feet
to grow, according to DIR. John M.
Hiss. of Los Angeles.
IF parents make their children
wear their shoes longer their toes
will become crowded, deformities
will start and the basis will be
fixed for bunions," he told the
Academy of Applied Osteopathy
yesterday.
Adults must keep worn shoes in
good repair, he said, as shoes worn
too long often lose their shape and
permit development of ankle and
foot disturbances.

Truman Group Pledges
Politics Ban in Probes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Members of the Truman Commit
tee, which has trod on its share of
assorted toes in the last two years,
have taken a special election-year
pledge to keep politics out of their
investigations.
That was described by Chairman
Truman today as a renewal of the
groups policy to ignore the political
consequences of any of it's inquiries.
Senator Truman discussed the mat
ter at a committee meeting and
obtained the concurrence Of all of
the six Democratic and four Repub-
lican members. --..-.3
, Senator Truman made 1t plain
that the pledge does not preclude
individual members from speaking
their minds freely about favored
candidates for the presidency, which
he has done in advocating a fourth
term for President Roosevelt.
I'm going to make every effort
can ITO keep the committee out of
politics" the Missourian told re-
porter. "If it ever gets in politics,
the committees usefulness is over"
Senator Ferguson, Republican, of
Michigan said he and his minority
colleagues reserved the right to take
part in the political campaign, but
he pointed out, and Senator Truman
agreed, that the committee is not
going to avoid criticizing anything
it finds wrong in the home front
conduct of the war despite any
political consequences such criticism
may have.

Mrs. Frances Dolmage, testifying
in her own defense in District
Court on charge of grand larceny
In connection with disappearance of
$4,000 jewel collection owned by
Otis Beal Kent, wealthy retired
lawyer, today identified a Christ
mas card accompanied by a note
sent to MIR. Kent by Margaret Bu-

Assistant United States Attorney
Bernard Margolius, cross examining
Mrs. Dolmage, introduced the

to it typewriter message reading:
" - I lied about you to get
even for your scorn and I beg you
TO forgive me for all the urhappi-
ness and trouble caused you.
(SignedD
MARGARET BUCHANAN"
The connection between these ex-
hibits and Mrs. Dolmage's defense
in the case was not readily appar-
ent. However, Mr.. Margolius asked
the witness sharply:
Didn't Mr.. Kent say he thought
the whole thing was a forgery
including the signature?"
THAT was one of the things he
said" Mrs. Dolmage replied.
Mrs. Dolmage, according to her
earlier testimony, had been retained
by Mr.. Kent to help him obtain
evidence for his defense in the
breach of promise suit.

Kent called you a liar and broke
with you?" Mr.. Margolius asked.

Ford Rouge Plant
BY the Associated Press.


DETROIT, Mich, Mar. 15.-An
automobile picket line that
barred entrance to the Ford Mo-
tor Co. River Rouge aircraft en-
gine plant was dispersed by po-
lice this morning and company
spokesmen reported a majority
of workers back on their jobs
after an hours demonstration
that both company and union
representatives said they were
unable to explain.
The demonstration was the second
by workers on the afternoon shift
in the plant manufacturing Pratt &
Whitney aircraft engines. In the
first demonstration last night they
left their benches at 11:30 o'clock
and parked automobiles in front of
all gates. This morning they set up
the line again and turned back the
flrst-shift day workers.
A company spokesman said ma
jority of the workers entered the
plant within half an hour after the
picket line, which jammed Schaefer
highway for several blocks, had been
dispersed. The company, meanwhile,
planned radio appeals to others to
return.
The work interruption brought
from R. j. Thomas, president of the
United Automobile Workers-CIO-
a statement that it had not been
authorized and that it was "a Sc
rious mistake from any point Of
view"
Any. work stoppage at the plant,
he said, would "embitter the Nation
against our union" He urged all
workers to return to their jobs.
Shortly before noon the company
reported that 1901 employees in eight
buildings in the Rouge group, in
cluding the aircraft building, did not
report for work this morning. They
attributed the absenteeism to the
picket line. The total day force is
more than $4,000.
A company spokesman continued
to profess no knowledge as to what
started the dispute. The aircraft
building was the scene of a demon
stration last week which resulted in
the discharge of 10 employees and
the indefinite suspension of 10 9TH
ers. Some workers expressed belief
the new f1are-up resulted from ru-
mors that further disciplinary
measures were to be taken-rumors
which were fatty denied by the
company.

Finnish Parliament
Expected 10 Decide
War Issue Today
Bv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Mar. 15.-The
Finnish Parliament was sum-
moned to meet again behind
closed doors this afternoon to
onsider a reported recommends
ton by Premier Edwin Linko-
mics that Finland turn down
Russia's armistice terms.
Linkomies was said to have laid
the recommendation before a secret
Parliament meeting yesterday, and
it was confidently expected that
today's session would determine
whether the Firms will stay in the
war.
Terms Substantially Same.
The Premier was understood to
have told Parliament the present
Soviet terms were substantially the
same as those submitted more than
a week ago and that Finland could
not possibly accept them. The Par
lament also was told, it was re-
ported, that the Russians demand
ed a decision before the end of
the week
Gan Associated Press dispatch
from Moscow said foreign diplo-
mats there believed that unless
the Firms accept Russia's terms
soon, Finland can expect terri
BILE bombings and active opera
tions from the land and sea-"
The dispatch added that high
Soviet officials were reported rap
idly tiring of Finland's pro
crastination" and that Musco-
vites were asserting that the Red
Army Immediately should set out
to destroy the Finnish Army.)
May Force Government Out.
A dispatch from Edwin Shanke
Associated Press correspondent in
Helsinki, said the Russian reply to
Finland's counterarmistice propos-
ais declared the Films must accept
"in theory" the demand for intern
ment Of German troops in Finland
before final conditions could be dis
cussed In Moscow. Mr.. Shanke's s
dispatches were heavily censored
however, and it was plain that cor
respondents In Helsinki were having
great difficulty In getting news out
side the country.
Should the Finnish Parliament re-
ject the Premier's recommendation
the government might be forced to
resign.
The Parliament is faced with a
serious and difficult question" de-
clared the Helsingin Sanomat, in
dependent newspaper with the great.
est circulation in Finland. It asked
whether the body was equal to the
task"
