Chairman Fly Denies
FEC Intelligence Led
Navy Into Jap Trap
BY the Associated Press.

6y the Associated Press.
Chairman James Fly of the Fed
eral Communications Commission
vigorously denied yesterday that
FCC's radio intelligence division led
a naval task force into unsafe wa
ters off Alaska.
Testifying before a House COM
mittee investigating the FEC, Mr.
Fly made his statement in answer
to a promise Wednesday by Rep
Iresentative Miller, Republican, of
Missouri that he would produce two
sailors to substantiate story that
the Japanese trapped a task force
because of bungling" by FEC.
mo such incident ever occurred -
Mr.. Fly asserted. THE radio intel
igence division never at any time
in its history suggested the move
ment of any ship or fleet or any,
thing of the Sort
"All we do is furnish the Army
or the Navy bearings on radio trans
mission we pick up at some par
lticular moment" he insisted. land
they do all the figuring and make
1.-THE decisions"
Representative Magnuson, Demo-
crat, of Washington inquired, "Then
lyou mean it is completely up to the
Navy to determine what to do about
information you give them, and you
couldn't possibly have misled a task
force?" Mr.. Fly nodded in agree
ment and added:
ITO this date the Navy Depart
ment has continued to rely on (FCC)
radio intelligence for extensive serv-
ices"
The FEC chief said he wished Mr.,
Miller were present at yesterdays
hearing, but apparently he is avoid
ling me-"
When I walked in he walked out
yesterday (Thursday)," Mr.. Fly as
serted. "Now he isn't here today
and have no chance to answer him
directly on the charges which he
has broadcast to the Nation"

DOVER, Del, Mar. 25.-Gov.
Walter w. Bacon's service vote plan
calling for personal registration at
any time of the year except 10 days
before and 10 days after an election
has been approved by Delaware's
Legislature.
Meeting yesterday in special

The Governors program also pro-
vides for earlier selection of State
and county tickets so full ballot
may be sent overseas and allows an
absentee voter to apply for ballot
at any time not less than three
days prior to a general election.
The special session passed two
other measures-one granting the
members of the armed forces ex-
emption from State taxes on in
come of $4,000 or less, the other
permitting State acceptance of
benefits of the Federal Rehabilita-
ton Act. This gave full indorse-
ment to the Governors program.

Churchill S Broadcast
Tomorrow Expected
To Keynote Invasion
Ry the Associated Press.

LONDON, Mar. 25.-Prime Minis
ter Churchill's British American
hookup broadcast tomorrow night is
expected here to steel the two ma
tions for the sacrifices of the forth
coming invasion march on Berlin
more Of the blood and sweat he so
grimly predicted nearly four years
ago, but this time bright with the
confidence of victory.
The dramatic panorama of the
past fateful week for Germany af-
fords a background for this first
home broadcast by the Premier
since year ago, providing material
for whole new picture of the
strengthened Allied position as the
hour of climax nears.
Probably Will Discuss Balkans.
Mr.. Churchill probably will take
the fullest advantage of develop-
ments IN the Balkans to emphasize
the collapse Of the last Nazi pre-
tense OF benevolent new order and
unified European defense. Hungary,
Bulgaria and Rumania doubtlessiv
are awaiting the news of Mr.
Churchill's words for the faintest
clues of their future fate.
Others will be listening as tense
ly-Fanland for hint of the next
move after her rejection of the
Soviet armistice terms, and neutral
Fire for a suggestion of the extent
of her isolation.
There has been some editorial
speculation in London that the At
lantlc Charter also may be men
toned, with Mr.. Churchill reiterat-
ing that it still embodies the under
lying Allied war purposes whatever
expansion or rephrasing may be re-
quired to keep it adapted to chang
ing conditions.
But a call for a final draining
effort for victory is expected to be
the keynote.
AS the Manchester Guardian put
1t: The reason for the broadcast is
plain enough. Mr.. Churchill wishes
to address the nation before it passes
into what every one hopes is the last
phase OF the struggle with GERMANY.
1t Is to be a summons to the whole
people for a eliminating effort |
against the enemy"
Mr.. Churchill, completing a two
day inspection of United States in
vasion forces in England, told the
troops yesterday that they could
face the coming struggle with feel
ings OF utmost confidence and reso-
luton"

Markham Appointed
Alien Property Chief
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
James Edward Markham. who Is
often mistaken for a big brother
OF his longtime Washington boss,
Leo T. Crowley, steps into one of
his boss jobs today-custodian of
more than S3O0,00O,00O worth of
property seized from the enemy.
The 49-year-old Markham, who
left his Lowell CMass.) law office in
1888 to lend hand in the. banking
crisis, was moved up from deputy
to full Alien Property Custodian
yesterday by President Roosevelt.
Acceptance of Mr.. Crowley,s resig-
nation, which he first submitted
last July, leaves him free to con-
centrate on his two other Govern
ment jobs-foreign economic ad-
m1nistrator and chairman of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
1t was the depression-born FDIC
that brought Mr.. Markham and Mr.,
Crowley together. Walter j. Cum
mlngs, executive assistant to the
then Secretary of the Treasury,
William H. Woodin, summoned MIR.
Markham to Washington during
the banking holiday to assist in the
reorganization. Mr.. Cummings be-
came the first head of FDIC and
named the New Englander as
counsel.
subsequently, Mr.. Markham be-
came general counsel and chief ad-
ministrative. officer in charge of
mergers, consultations and lioui-
dation. When Mr.. Crowley sue
ceeded to the FDIC helm he re-
tanned the New Englander and the
two formed a working team.
Mr.. Markham became Mr.. Crow
ley's deputy with the inception of
alien property custodianship in
March, 1912.

U. 5. Plea 10 Hungary
10 Fight Occupation
Implies Easier Peace
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The United States yesterday called
on Hungary to fight rather than
submit tamely to the "Nazi whip
and implied that if she does she will
get better treatment at the peace
table.
Secretary of State Hull issued a
statement calling for firm resist
ance" against German forces oc-
cupying the Axis satellite nation
The statement was obviously de-
signed to stir wave of sabotage
and guerrilla fighting and thus
hamper Hitler's desperate attempt te
strengthen his military position ir
Southeastern Europe.
The American action carried with
1t an implicit promise that Hun.
|garian resistance would earn the re.
spect and friendship of the United
Nations, which, in victory, woulc
look more favorably on the status oi
Hungary despite its voluntary al.
lance with Hitler up to the moment
of occupation.
Bulgaria Believed Next.
Almost simultaneously with Mr.
Hull's statement came word from
Ankara that the Rumanian Embass,
there had confirmed reports of Ger
man occupation of Rumania. It ap-
peared that Bulgaria was next.
The rapid spread of German mill
tary strength through the Balkans
threw a new complexion on Turkeys
relationships with the Allies since
Turkey has a common border with
Bulgaria in the extreme southeast
ern tip of Europe. Obviously the ad-
vice and implied promise made by
Secretary Hull to Hungary applied
likewise to the Rumanian and Bull
garian situation.
The question raised in diplomatic
circles here was whether the effect
OF the German occupation of the
Balkans would be to weaken OF
strengthen Turkeys resolve to keep
out of the war. Some experts con-
tended that Turkey would still do
everything possible to stay neutral.
Says Hitler Is Desperate.
Mr.. Hull said the rapid decline OF
Nazi tyranny has never been so ap-
parent as today, when Hitler in
growing awareness that he cannot
withstand the united efforts of the
freedom-loving people of the world
has shown his desperation by turn
ing with his treachery upon former
ally"
The term former ally" indicated
the American Government is willing
to accept Hungary in a new status
which, under proper circumstances
and with enough evidence of ef-
fective resistance, might approach
the "cobelligerency" of liberated
Italy.
only by firm resistance to the
hated invader" Mr.. Hull continued
"can Hungary, the first of the Axis
satellites to feel the Nazi whip, hope
to regain the respect and friendship
of free nations and demonstrate its
right to independence"

When chickens have a "rat-
tle' in their breathing, it is
generally some form of bron-
chltis and the best thing poultry
growers can do is to take steps
to improve the general health
OF the flock, says Harriette 10,
Cushman, extension poultry
specialist at Montana State
college.
BY building up the health OF
the flock the birds will be in
better condition to resist the
disease, she said. This can be
accomplished by giving the
birds more green feed, carrots,
guaranteed fish liver oils or
anything that is high in Vita
min A.
To give the chickens relief in
their breathing and to prevent
choking, Miss Cushman suggests
using a commercial spray or

We still haven't any lights.

for TOTO has paid us a few Wis

Is pretty scarce and we have to
get along on a helmet full a

provement along that line. I can
imagine myself doing my wash

I sometimes wonder if, during
my time overseas, We'll ever hit
a place that isn't crawling with
bugs. I thought I'd seen just
about every kind there was in
New Guinea, but I know now
that was nothing. The fishing
worms here are enormous, some
of them are a foot or more in
length. Boy, what those trout

them!
We've been having quite a

through about six or eight
inches of earth and meet solid

instead of going down, we have
to build up the sides and ends
