Restrictions on the use of wood
en- shipping containers for pack
ing and shipping certain fruits and
vegetables after July l were re-
moved by the War Production
Board. Formerly the use of new
wooden containers was limited to
a percentage of the amount used
in 1912. Critical shortages in sup
plies of lumber and veneer still
exist. and WPB said that it will be
necessary for growers and ship
pers of fresh fruits and vegetables,
to use secondhand containers to
the greatest possible extent if all
crops are to be moved TO market.

Rail Presidents LOST
Money as Co|one|s;;
Now Mustered Out
By the Associated Press.

Seven colonies, who worked up
from the ranks Of railroad presi-
dents, are out Of the Army now.
In all probability, the colonels,
who were commissioned when the
Government took over their lines
December 27, will find that their
II days of military service has been
a money-saving proposition.
At colonel's top pay and al
lowance of $49333 a month, each
man will have earned approximately
$3.50. They had the expense of uni
forms, which they had to buy out of
their own pockets For purposes of
comparison, officers below the rank
of major are allowed $3.50 for uni
forms. Thus. even conceding the
improbable-that the colonels stayed
within the $3.50 figure-they would
have had about $50 for all other
expenses during the 81 days.
So. for the men who run the rail-
roads, it wasn't any gravy train as
far as the Army pay was concerned
There was nothing in the rules to

Hartman Awaits Reply
From Russion Government
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Jan. 19.-United States
Ambassador w. Averell Hartman
today awaited reply from the Rus
sian government to Washington S
expression of willingness to try to
negotiate its differences with the
Polish government in exile in
London.
Mr.. Hartman is in an excellent
position to act as an intermediary
because Of his service in London as
lease-lend expediter, which gave
him a firsthand knowledge of the
Polish situation as we'll as a personal
acquaintance with many Poles both
inside and outside the present gov
eminent.
Secretary Of State Hull told a
press conference yesterday that
Americas offer of assistance ap-
parently did not reach the Russians
until Monday morning because of
atmospheric interference with radio
transmission Saturday night and
Sunday.
Thls indicated. as Mr. Hull evil
IDENTIFY intended it to do, that the
of1er was not in Russian hands early
Monday when Moscow hit out again
at the Poles for having rejected
a Russian settlement offer at the
same time that they asked American
and British Intervention. .-
Washington is hopeful Of a IA
vorable reply to the offer, especially
because it does not touch on ter

and Poland but only on diplomatic
relations.

President Roosevelt declined COM

Nozi-Russion Peace Talk
Rumor Heard by Swiss

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 (P.-David
Anderson, NBC reporter in Stock
holm. said today that Stockholm
newspapers are carrying story to
the effect that Hitler had dispatched
semioff1cial representatives to An
kara, Turkey, to discuss separate
peace terms with Russia. The story
was credited to the Geneva news
paper La Suisse.
In his broadcast. Mr.. Anderson
emphasized that the report ap-
peared to be a German propaganda
move to take advantage of the con-
fusion created by the publication in
the Moscow newspaper Pravda of a
rumor that Britain and Germany
had discussed separate peace.
According to the Stockholm ver-
sion of the La Suisse story, Mr.. An
derson said, an important confer
ence had been held in Berlin to
consider a possible change in Nazi
alliances.
Shortly after the conference, the
Swiss report says, a German courier
who to cetain extent can be re.
garded as a se1niofficial German
representative to the Soviet govern
ment,' left for Ankara," Mr.. Ander-
son continued.
There he is to meet the German
Ambassador to Turkey, Won Papen
and the indication is given that he
will confer with Russian officials ir
the Turkish capital. The report
further states that the German dip
lomatic plan for 1914 calls for a
separation between Russia md the
western powers. 1t ends by saying
that the 1899 alliance with Russia
can be repeated"
