Bond Redemption
Fiuures Shown,

More than 90 per cent of the en-
tire total of war savings bonds sold
since May 1, 1941, still are in the
hands Of the public.
This fact was disclosed by NJ
Penn Phillips, vice chairman of the
treasury war finance committee for
southern California, following re-
ceipt of official figures from WASH
ington on sales and redemptionS of
bonds since inception of the pro-
gram.
The tabulation showed that the
American people now hold more
than S36,00O,000,0 in Series "E, -
'F" and "G" savings bonds, having
redeemed only 923 per cent of the
total outstanding.
Phillips said that no figures are
available for southern California on
the ratio of bonds outstanding to
the total redeemed but he estimated
that it would compare faVorably
with that Of the nation as a whole.

Redskins SALVAGE
Grid Game as
A!I-Stars Cape

LOS ANGELES MEMORIAL
COLISEUM, Aug. 26. CUP)-The
Washington Redskins, aided by a
mental lapse of the March Field
Army All-Stars, salvaged the honor
of Professional football Friday night
7-3, after a near-humbling by the
former collegiate greats.
The Redskins lone touchdown
caught the All-Stars flatfooted as
Mike Micka galloped out of a mob
with a tumble, permissible under
pro rules governing the second
half of the contest.
The Stars watched him run, for
getting too long that they weren't
playing under collegiate rules of the
first half.
Sixty thousand fans saw Big
Mike intercept a fourth-quarter
pass from Jack Jacobs, drop it,
grab it again, and dart out of a ring
Of All-Stars and over the goal line
35 yards away.
Leading until then on Ernie
Smiths siX-yarG field goal, the
Stars had twice stopped the Red
Skins within their 20-yard line,
and outshone the pro team in all
departments except presence of
mind.
The Redskins failed to get near
the Stars goal in the entire first
half, but warmed up somewhat in
the final frame.
The Stars missed a touchdown
Of their own in the second frame
when Bill Dudley, the Virginia ace
lashed 20-yard pass to Bob Ken
nedy, who packed it to pay dirt 35
yarcS away, then saw it called back
because Dudley had fired his shot
from too close to the line of scrim-
mage.
Surprise feature of the game was
the complete smothering of the
Redskins great passing star, Sammy
Baugh. The passes he got away
were dropped by his teammates.

Dewey's Envoy
And Sec. Hull
Differ ON Views

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. CUP)-
Secretary of State Cordell Hull and
John Foster Dulles, foreign policy
adviser to Governor Thomas E.
Dewey, agreed in joint statement
Friday that the question OF future
peace is non partisan, but Dulles
reserved for Dewey the right to en-
gage in full public non-partisan
discussion" of the subject during
the presidential campaign.
Hull lost his attempt to get the
Republican presidential nominee to
agree that the subject of future
peace be kept entirely out of pCli-
ties" Dulls explained that Dewey
didn't feel that he could accept
without his own Interpretation the
secretarys phrase entirely out of
politics.
DIFFER ON PROCEDURE
The unprecedented statement, is
sued after the third Dulles-Hull
meeting, revealed that the two men
were in agreement on numerous as
poets" of an international security
organization but they differed on
how the subject should be discussed
publicly during the campaign.
Dulles, speaking for Dewey, said
that the governor would feel free
to discuss the subject during the
campaign He added that President
Roosevelt had discussed the war in
an address recently and that the
Da,D,,l,f;,o,,e oa,ciIaroR tbo+ l,a l,oJ
made political Use OF the war.
He said he would continue to con-
fer with Hull and that their next
meeting probably would be ar
ranged on his DullesO initiative
because it would entail another
trip to Washington from New York
The secretary maintains" the
statement said, the position that
the American people considered the
subject of future peac as a non
partisan subject which must be kept
entirely out of politics.
Mr.. Dulles, on behalf of Cover
nor Dewey, stated that the governor
shared this view on the understand
ing, however, that it did not pre-
clude full public non-partlsan dis
cussion Of the means Of attaining a
lasting peace.
The question of whether there
will be complete agreement en- these
two prospective views and their
carrying out will depend on future
Developments
Dulles third meeting with Hull
lasted for more than an hour and a
half. The joint statement was issued
to reporters before Dulles had left
Hull'S office.

The demand for labor is in

if something is not done to re-

GENERAL FRANCO
WARNED BY EDEN

LONDON, Jan. 19.-R-1n blunt
terms Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden warned Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco today of ''the most
serious effect which the presence
of Spanish troops fighting along
side the Germans on the Russian
front "must have on Anglo-Span-
ish relations now and in the fu-
ture."
The warning, voiced in the House
Of Commons in the presence Of
Prime Minister Churchill, was
couched in such strong terms as
to suggest that Eden, while side
stepping an open rupture, was
leaving no doubt that Britain's pa
tience was running out over the
thinly-disguised Spanish aid to
Germany.
Another issue which may pre-
sent difficulties for Madrid and
London was laid before the House
when Eden disclosed that the gov
eminent had renewed strong rec
concentrations supporting the Ita1-
ian governments request for re-
lease of all Italian ships in Spanish
ports.
London # ernoo newspa-
pers gave prominent display to the
foreign secretary's unusually out
spoken warning. The Star said edi-
torially:
Sat last we are beginning to get
to grips with the Dictator Franco.
The crisis in Anglo-Spanish affairs
arises out of the farce of the So
called withdrawal Of the Spanish
Blue Division from the Russian
front. Moscow's precise infor-
nation of Spanish troops still fight
ing on the Leningrad front effec-
lively exposed Francois duplicity.
This barefaced breach of neu-
trality has to stop. Either Franco
asserts his authority or else
the British and American govern
ments must take really effective
steps against him.
This was the second incident of
tension brought into
the open within five days. On Jan.
IA London asked the Madrid gov
erment to investigate the placing
of time-bombs in cargoes of
oranges shipped from Spain to
Britain.

ing rapidly.
Coupled with the coordinated
Russian offensive already at a
point west of Novosokolniki on the
Lovat front, 200 miles southwark,
the new Russian attack in the
north is obviously rocking the
whole German Baltic flank. 1t
could force an immediate Nazi re-
treat, abandoning all northwestern
Russia.
Of major significance is the Rus
sian capture of Krasnoye Sos, a
key road and rail junction point
in the Leningrad communication
network. Moscow said it was taken
in five days despite the fact that
the Germans held it since they
drew their fiege ring about Len
ingrad in the early days of the
war.
The position is vital to al isorth-
ern communications for heavy
German forces deployed in the
Volkrov River bulge below it. At
that point, where a 25-mile wide
gap has been ripped in the most
critical sector of Nazi lines about
Leningrad, the Russians were less
than ten miles rom Gatchina. Its
capture would cut the last link of
the Narva-Lenngrad rail system
and virtually seal off the Narva
gateway to Esthonia.
