Our most important job is to
win the war as quickly as possible, :
he said. But we must make cer-
tain we do not lose our freedom at
home while we fight abroad 10
preserve it"
Bancroft, who lost to Democrat
Sheridan Downey in a close cleo
ton in 1888, included in his 2l-
point program numerous indict-
ments of the new deal ana suggeS-
tions for rebuilding the postwar
era.
We should give one-way tickets
out of Washington TO 80 per cent
of the bureaHcrats and make the
other 10 per cent realize they are
servants and not masters of the
people he declared.
Congress should promptly regain
all constitutional powers abjectly

Britain Directs
Query to Russ

any such suggestion as advanced
in the dispatch was 'ludicrous."
British newspapers refrained from
publishing news about the Pravda
dispatch until after the foreign
office denial had been issued then
burst forth with a furry of indig-
nant comment.
Britain Kills Separate Peace
Lie the Daily Mail banner line
said.
such a statement is an insult
to the British people and bears all
the marks of enemy origin" the
Daily Mail said in an editorial
"PraVda must be remarkably ignor-
ant of British national standards.
That is the only excuse we can find
for it."
The London News-Chronicle said
the Pravda story, though small in
itself, was pregnant with mischiev-
Gus possibilities.
The story amused Berlin, the
German Transocean agency said in
a broadcast heard here.
The publication of the report
shows an extraordinary measure of
annoyance exists in Moscow, pre-
Sumably becuse thea Anglo-Ameri-
ems have been a little too quick in
anticipating laurels in the Russian
Polish conflict" TranSocean's Dip

this new plan.
Retailers claim there will be a
decrease of so ner cent in the
amount of stamps to be handled
and will average only Il per month
per person. as compared to % un-
der the present system.
Too for ration banking purposes
the retailers will save considerable
time and energy for instead of
sorting and posting the stamps ac-
cording to their point values . 3.
after February 2T they will all
have a ten-point value and will
need to be sorted only by color, red

phfied as well.
However there is-one but" and
that is that several stamps which
have been available ana still will
be in use when tokens appear will
be handled as at present Those
stamps will be green K. L and NJ in
Look four and brown Y and in
book three. These stamps remain
valid until March 20. 1874.
These will not have a ten-point
value as will the blue and red
stamps in book four They will be
used in accordance with the pro-
cedue used at present, that of re-
tanning their s, 5. and l point
values
Consumers also are advised that
the only way they can obtain tok-
ems is TO make a purchase and get
them in change therell def
nitely be no "cashing in" of stamps
for the blue and red disks.
The ration tokens will be dis
tributed to the retailers by the
banks through whom they do their
ration banking, and will be handled
in a similar manner in which their
ration account is now handled.

Washington.
Eisenhower, declared that I'VE

War Loan would aid in softening up
the enemy by showing every Nazi
soldier and civilian that America
was united behind its great in

Nimitz, from the Pacific, said we
cannot win unless cur fighting
forces receive prompt and adequate
lopistic support cargoes and
ships to bring them He
added: ITO guarantee our success
requires the continuous and un-
stinted purchase of war bonds
Morgenthau declared that We're

sure this time that the enemy lays
down its ideals as well as its arms.

the situation were ringing con-

HOUSE TO ACT
The affair was expected TO be
taken up by the house of commons

Eden was expected to reiterate the
denial and that Britain will accept
nothing short of unconditional sur

The British foreign office Monday
night authorized a complete de-

said that the meeting, held at 4

Spanish-French border for the pur-

Across the street Arthur Williams,
flight engineer for Pan American
AirWayS, said he heard the plane
shortly before it crashed.
The plane obviously was in dis

motor, I was alarmed when I heard
it coming closer and closer I woke

big bomber struck the roof of a
house at the edge of the field. Oc-
cupants of the house escaped in

Bill, member of the family which
gave the county the courthouse site.
If the county uses the property for
anything but courthouse prposes,
he declared, there is danger of the
property going to the city on this
reversionary deed
Zinn looked worried. Board men,
bers looked worried. Supervisors
declared they had no idea the city
was up to skulduggery but decided
the matter should be turned over
10 the legal departments of the city
and county before anything was
done. The board delegated Super
visor Hugh T. Osborne TO go with
Zinn to the next city council meet
ing and see what can be worked
out.
Have the city give this rever-
sionary deed to the county and that
will clear up the whole thing, Halli-
day suggested. Zinn said he couldn't |
say what the city would do about
that as he was only one, poor, lone
chamber of commerce committee
member wanting just one thing, a
nice looking park across the street
frcrr. the courthouse.
Il didn't know that park deal was
such a hot potato when I picked 1t
up" zinn confessed ruefully. i
tried to lay it down but it was too
hot. The public won't let me. l
don't even know that the city coun-
Gil wants to maintain the park. l
couldn't ask them 10 do that unless
I found out first that it would be
satisfactory with YOU Now, look
what is stirred up!'
In the meantime. Milt and the
supervisors asked themselves these
questions: rs there a cloud on the
courthouse site? Does the city have
the whip hand? Where is this
reversionary deed?"
And ali because Zinn is a de-
termined young man who thinks
parks should he pleasant, beautiful
spots, come what may.

Experts Sought
On Post War

WASHINGTON, Jan. l8 (UP) =
The state department, newly re-
organized to facilitate conduct of
foreign relations in war and peace,
was expected today to call in a
number of outside technical experts
10 plan the nations economic role
for the postwar period.
The reorganization was announced
over the weekend and climaxed
months of criticism that the struc-
ture of the senior department Oh
the governments executive branch
was too archaic and cumbersome
to meet anticipated problems.
Generally. the revamping saw
the reshuffling or reassignment OF
officials already in the state de-
partment But some of those as
signed to key roles were designated
acting executives" indicating that
experts would be brought in from
the outside to help in the work OF
planning for the peace.
Secretary of State Cordeu Hulis
announcement on the reorganiza-
ton revealed that two new COM
mittees would be set up within the
department, one on policy and one
on postwar programs, as we'll as
an advisory council on postwar
foreign policy, headed by himself.
To eliminate overlapping juris-
dictions and responsibility, Hull
clearly outlined the authority Of
the four assistant secretaries OF
state.
Thus, Adolf A. Berle, Jr., will
have charge of the office of con-
trolls and transportation commune
cation; Dean AcheSon will head the
foreign economies operations; Beck
enridge Long will continue 10 serve
as liaison officer between congress
and the department; and G. How

The new OpA raion token plan
TO go into effect February 81 will
greatly simplified point rationing
all concerned.
This is the belief of both food
distributors, FL Centre ration board
officials and city housewives as ex-
pressed Tuesday.
Under the new plan all stamps
for processed foods and meats in
ration book ". will have flat
value of 10 points, regardless of the
3. 5. and l denominations.
The simplicity of the plan. said
one housewife interviewed at the
ration board office, is that in max
ing a six-point purchase. a con-
sumer will be given four tokens in
change. each good for one point
And, similar to the stamps today.
there will be blue tokens for proc
essed foods and red tokens for
meats. fats and oils.
SEE IMPROVEMENT
Everyone interviewed including
A. II. Keller, chairman of the ra-
ton board, agreed that with all
stamps worth 10 points each. point
shopping will become easier and
more readily understandable. For
example, these change tokens may
be given to other members of the
family to spend at any time, thus
making it possible for two or more
members to shop at the same time
in separate shops.
The tokens also make stamps
good for longer periods of times
because they will be good indefi-
nitely although the stamps have
a definite expiration date.
SMALLER THAN DIME
e The new red and blue tokens are
Slightly smaller than a dime and
are particularly durable.
In the future five blue stamps
will become valid for proeessed
foods each month, giving a total
of so points per month as against
4S Under the present system. Three
red stamps will become valid every
two-week period, giving total OF
so red points for every four weeks
as against GA points under the pres
ent plan.
The change-over in systems ae-
cording to the local OPA office
will not affect a decrease in the
amount of rationed foods available
to the consumer. Point values on
foods and meats will be adjusted
to the new so and 60 point allot-
mentS.
The first series of five blue
stamps becomes valid February 81
for so points and thereafter on the
first of each month, beginning April
l. five more will become valid. The
first three red stamps for 80 points
become valid the same date and
thereafter three more each two
weeks. However, all series of stamps
will be valid for approximately Y
weeks and will have definite ex-
piration dates.
Under the new plan stamps will
be detached across the page in
stead of from top TO bottom.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 13 tUP)--
Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt en-
visioned a postwar world in which
nobody would work at night-unless
it is absolutely necessary-and in
which everybody could talk to
everybody else in a universal mode
of communication.
Naturally, she said. there are still
some types of jobs which will have
to be done at night, but otherwise
II think night work ought to stop
for everyone
After the war, she told news

understand each other. better by
means of this common mode of
communication. She did not know
exactly what method could be fol-
lowed, but suggested it might be a
simplified alphabet or basic English.
1t probably wouldn't be Esperan-
to, because, Mrs. Roosevelt said,
that never seemed to take hold
She explained carefully that she
did not mean that this new Ian
guage should take the place of ma
tive tongues. Rather, she said, it
would be something extra for
getting along with foreigners.
