the senatorial race for indications
OF revolt that might give life to a
third-party movement.
Absentee balloting by service per-

the senatorial but other Democratic
races for five of the States six
House seats and for Governor.
Nine congressional places and
some State Offices also were at

South Dakota voters will nominate

In Indiana attention centered on

Britain Indorses Pact
On Administration Of
Freed Czech Areas
BY the Associated Press.

6s thc honOSAhtc0 TICsS.
LONDON, May 1.-The British
government announced today that
it had approved a Russian-Czech
agreement for the administration
of liberated Czechoslovak territory
and also disclosed that Britain and
the United States have drafted
pacts similar In principle with the
exile governments Of Norway, Bel
gium and Holland.
The Russian Czech agreement
previously approved by the United
States, provided for the civil ad-
ministration of liberated territory
to be turned over to Czech authori-
ties as rapidly as consistent with
military requirements.
The brief British delay in ap-
proval-which was criticized edi-
torially by the London Daily Herald
was attributed in responsible
quarters to the time taken in con-
sulting the United States Govern
ment.
These consultations were neces-
sary, it was explained, on the chance
that Britons might participate in
the liberation of some Czech soil,
whereupon it would become prob
lem for the combined British Amer
ican high command.
The British American plan with
respect to Norway. Belgium and
Holland has been submitted to Rus
STA for approval. But a reply has
not been received as yet.

A goal Of $36, 900 was set by the
Greater National Capital Commit
tee Of the Board OF Trade yesterday
as 1t opened its annual campaign

G. F. Burton, president Of the
City Bank and chairman Of the 1914

though the committee does not seek
conventions or visitors during the
war 1t must face many problems ac-
cruing out OF present conditions.
One Of the most important is its
task Of providing temporary housing
facilities for servicemen and busi-
nessmen who come to Washington.
More than 5000 Of these men call
at the Board of Trade Offices each
month for assistance.
The committee also has an in

Heating Period Shifts
Will Provide More Oil

A change in the length of heat
ing periods which will give fuel oil
consumers more supplies during the
coldest months and elimination of
expiration dates for the five periods
will feature the 1944-45 fuel ration
ing program here, according to the
District Office of Price Administra-
ton.
Ration boards will begin this
month to distribute forms to house
holders.
AS previously announced, the sea-
son will begin September l instead
of October /. Under a revised set
up, periods l and will be length
ened, while periods 2, and will
be shortened proportionately. This
will have the effect, the OPA ex-
planned, of affording more supplies
during the colder months. AS now
operated, consumers are allocated
equal supplies each heating period
regardless of the season.
The elimination of expiration
dates will be boon to householders,
dealers and banks. officials report.
AS each period coupons become
valid. they will be good through to
August 81, l945. Thus, consumers
who find they have not used up all
their period l coupons due to warm
weather will be able to save them for
later period For the dealers. 1t
will mean elimination of so-called
'bobbed-tall' deliverieS-Sm or
derS which had to be filled from a
customers small stock of coupons
remaining before an expiration date,
For the banks it should do away
with the last-minute rush of deal
ers TO deposit their customers cou-
pons in ration accounts before a
period expires.
Heating and hot water rations
generally will be the same as those
for the 1884 heating year, the
OPA said, and it is planned to
carry the same proportion of unit
coupons, good for 10 gallons, and
coupons of varying value to be used
as change
Consumers who have any coupons
left over on August 81 will be per-
mitted to transfer them to the new
lperiod, OPA said.

Against Letdown

os tHe hssOCi&tcu ETesSs
PHILADELPHIA, May 2.-The

the American Federation of Labor
today against any letdown from
overconfidence before or during the
invasion.
This Is no time to strike" an
Executive Council statement said.
The council, holding its quarterly
meeting, expressed qualification
with the results of an appeal it made
last January for extraordinary pro-
duction efforts.
Three months have passed since
that action was taken," the council
said. During that period no strikes
have been called by any af1iliated
union Of the American Federation Of
Labor engaged in war production.
During that period tremendous prog
ress has been achieved in labors
productivity in key industries. Dur
ing that period labor has more than
fulfilled the Governments most op-
timistic expectations. 80
when the invasion starts and
the fighting hits its highest pitch,
the workers Of America must carry
out their assignments as a stern and
solemn duty with the same spirit
and the same high morale as our
Armed forces"
Strikes Not Sanctioned.
President William Green acknowl-
edged to newsmen that some local
strikes" had occurred. He said there
were very few" and had no sanction
beyond the local union.
The council received a letter from
]. j. Singh of the America India
League requesting the federation's s
support in having Indian nationals
placed on an immigration quota
basis. The letter was discussed and
tabled. The AFL has not yet devi-
ated from its policy of opposing
any modification of the Oriental
Exclusion Act.

Farm Market Summary

Cotton continued to advance during
the past week, with markets slightly
more active, according to the War Food
Administration. The weakening effect of
continued good crop progress was more
than offset by reports of proposed legis-
lation affecting textile price ceilings
and the CCC sales price for cotton
Slaughter cattle markets in the South
were active and firm. Supplies were too
small for trade requirements and con-
sisted largely of poor quality cattle.
Stockers and feeders sold slowly at
steady rates. Midwestern markets were
strong early in the week but eased off
at the close especially on common, medi-
um and low-good grades.
Marketngs of spring lambs continued
to increase, but prices held fully steady.
At the close Of the week. good and
choice offerings brought $15.50-1e.50 at
Nashville and si5.50-16.00 in Louisville.
Hog markets generally were featured
by the most serious congestion since
mid-winter. The soft hog area of Geor-
gia, Florida and Alabama. however, was
an exception. Marketings of peanut fed
hogs were seasonally light in this area
and packing plants shipped in liberal
numbers of hogs from other areas. Re-

of the other states.
The Board of Directors of the state
organization has worked out plans for
full cooperation in the Forthcoming
state war bond campaign.
Repeated protests to high government
officials by AFBF President Edward A.
O'Neal that the actual output of Farm
machinery was tagging behind the
amounts scheduled seem to have finally
got results.
Investigation revealed that as much
farm machinery as could have been built
and can be built without interfering
with the war effort has not been turned
out and made available to the farmer.
Quotas assigned to some manufacturers
were not being filled because their
plants were occupied with war orders,
while other manufacturers with unused
facilities, manpower and materials who
could produce additional machinery were
limited to their quotas.
