Jennings Says Fall
OF nazis Would Boost
Needs Of War Fund

Early end Of the war in Europe
would only increase-rather than
decrease-the need for Metropou-
tan Washington to raise $4,85O, 900
for the Community War Fund when
the drive starts October 16, Cole
man Jennings, campaign chairman,
said yesterday.
Mr.. JennjngS expressed concern
that surrender Of Germany might
cause Washingtonians to heaye q
sigh Of relief and stop donating to
the fund. Instead, he said, cotnpli-
cations OF feeding people in the
liberated countries. caring for
American prisoners of war found in
Germany, and continuance of
United Service Organization shows
for soldiers occupying Germany will
only increase need for funds.
On the home front, he said re-
turning servicemen adjusting to
civilian life will need many services
OF the Community Chest agencies.
when the armistice comes" Mr..
jennings SAID, the Community War
Fund must be prepared to fit into
any situation existing and to take
care Of any situation that may arise.
If the war in Europe ends, let's
rejoice but not relax"
Mr.. Jennings added that needs
OF troops in the Pacific would in
crease when the European drive is
over. The Community War Fund
inludes ~ national agencies, includ-
Ing War Prisoners Aid, USO, and
United Seamen's Service, United Ma
tons Relief Agencies, such as the
Russian and French, and local agen-

At recent meeting held by the State Traffic Commission in Hart ford it was decided to institute 8 study of the actual usage given the Merritt and Wilbur Cross Pathways by commercial vehicles since the opening of these parkways to such traffic on June Is, 1943, 1t was an- nounced by Motor Vehicle Commis- sioner John T. Mccarthy, Secre- tary of the Commission.
 During the 1943 session of the General Assembly, Commissioner Mccarthy stated, permission for such usage was given for commer- cial vehicles engaged in the trans portation of war materials as a means of expediting war shipments.
 Checks made at the Milford, Greenwich and New Canaan toll stations since June 1943 have indi- cated that actual use of the park ways of commercial vehicles trans porting war materials has not at tained the volume anticipated at the time of legislative action opening the parkwayS to this type of traf- fic.
 In the preparation of the park ways for commercial usage, the commission deemed it advisable to establish an intermediate toll sta- tion at New Canaan on the Merritt Parkway for the collection of com- mercial toll fees only. From an ec-

SWede len Told To Stop Nozi Trade Deal

Stockholm, April IA. (UP)-1n- formed sources reported today that Britain and the United States had asked Sweden to cut oil all exports of ball-bearingS to Germany.
 The request. 1t was said, was con- tained in notes understood to havG been presented to the Swedish gov- ernment yesterday by American and British ministers in connection with U. 8. Secretary of State Cordeu Hull's warning to neutrals against trading with Germany or its asso- ciates.
 These sources, said, however, that the notes did not contain any pro- vision for possible action if Sweden continued to supply Germany with ball-bearings, an integral part Of mechanical equipment.
 menting on Hull's speech, although not referring to the notes, said Sweden took the view that since the Allies last September approved Swedish exports to Germany, 1t could not change existing agrec- lnents now without going back on our word"
 The notes reportedly did not men, tion iron ore exports nor safe-con- duct traffic.
 While the exact quantity of ball. bearings going to Germany was not known, the newspaper Aftonbladet reported today that the shipments were less than 50 per cent of last year.
 The newspaper Dagens Nyheter said that the British and American notes, besides requesting cessation of ball-bearing exports, also asked that shipments of certain tools and special stels used in the bau-bear- ing industry be stopped.
 Informed sources said meantime that the Swedish parliament re- portedly will meet in a secret ses- sion at Il 8. m., April 19, to hear ae government statement on tn Finnish peace negotiations, the British American notes and the general war situation, particularly as it may affect the Scandinavian and Baltic areas.
