today, The coupons expire at that
time, and coupons ALL become valid

the hands of motorists. District
OPA officials said no counterfeit
ALL coupons had been discovered
here.
The agency said most of the spur
ious coupons are printed on poor
paper, making detection fairly easy.
Several types of counterfeits have
been seized and special agents of
the national .OPA have learned from
underworld sources" that large
numbers of bogus ALL coupons have
been printed, distributed to peddlers
and sold to black market dealers.

Gov. GriswoId Fears
Federal Competition
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. 8.-Gov.
Dwight Griswold of Nebraska said
last night that if the national ad-
ministration were reelected there
was danger that the Federal Gov
ernment might go into the manu.
featuring and food distribution busi-
ness after the war. producing goods
at less than cost and wrecking pri-
vate corporations.
Many high administration ofncials
wanted Ito see our economic system
completely changed" he asserted
in q prepared speech keynoting the
Republican State Convention which
today renominated Gov. Raymond
E. Baldwin and United States Sena-
tor John A. Danaher, and he said
the Government had facilities with
which it could take a long step in
the direction of national socialism. -
The Nebraska chief executive,
who made the nominating speech
for Gov. Thomas E. Dewey at the
national convention, saw a poten-
tial danger in the terrifying eco
nomic power" which he said was
given the Federal Government by
its ownership of war plants, land
and stockpiles of commodities.
1T would be easy indeed for a
Federal administration to use the
factories which it today owns" he
said. use them in time of peace
through Government operation to
furnish employment to hundreds of
thousands, and even millions, of
returning veterans or people other
wise unemployed.
Il. myself, could make a pretty
good speech telling how nice it
would be to create these jobs and
at the same time manufacture au-
tomobiles, trucks, tractors, washing
machines, refrigerators-an things
we will want when the war is over
selling these items to farmers
and other users at extremely low
prices"
He then added that another long
step" could be taken in the same
direction by using the Army's tre-
Imendous stcckpile of food, perhaps
enough to feed the people of this
Nation for a year."

rs Years Ago Today Germany
Decided World War Was Lost

Acting on this realization, Luden-
dorff Immediately informed the
Kaiser that he no longer could guar
antee military victory and that
peace overtures should be begun
quickly before the situation became
worse.
They did become worse. The Ger
man home front, the central alli-
ance and the German throne crum-
bled even more rapidly than did the
army.
Yet it was three months and three
days after Germany's black day"
before peace came.
Whether comparable "black
day" already has appeared for Ger
many in this war is matter OF
opinion. 1t may have been July 27,
the day the Russians captured
Lwow. Bialystok, Stanislawow, Dau-
gavpils, Rezekne and Siauliai. 1t
may have been August 3, when the
Americans sliced off most If the

been July 20, when .aerlin an

Sforza Calls for Removal
Of 399 Italian Senators
Nv the Assoe,.ted pr.s.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, Aug. 8.-Count Carlo
Sforza, Italian Minister Without
Portfolio, yesterday submitted to
Ettore Casati, president Of the High
Court for Punishment of Fascist
Crimes, the names of 399 Italian
Senators who, he believes, should
be removed from the Senate for
Fascist activities.
The list comprised all but Ill
members of the Senate and included
those Sforza accuses of contributing
by their votes and acts to the main
tenance of the Fascist regime that
made war possible.
The Fascist-appointed Chamber
OF Deputies already has been dis
solved. Similar action was not
taken with the Senate, since the
Senators are royal appointees and
dissolving it would be regarded by
the government as involving a uues-
ton which 1t pledged not to con-
slider until the end of the war.
