as to the Polish border question.
In Quebec conference circles, how
ever, Eden's trip is understood to
be related more particularly to
plans for dealing with Germany
after the impending Maxim military
collapse. On the possibility of
more immediate talks between
Roosevelt and Churchill, there was
no official comment for security
reasons.
With the Pacific military pattern
charted on the Anglo-American
council table, the next converse
lions turned primarily toward
shredding the Nazi crazy-quilt in
Europe and on postwar occupation
and economic clamps on Germany
and her kin.

Lansing, Sept. 16-AP The
State Conservation Commission,
faced with financing the acquisition
and development Of a $10,000,000
Southern '-ichigan park program,
will be asked Thursday to consider
charging the public small fees for
use OF the parks.
P. ]. Hoffmaster, conservation
director, said he would present he
proposal to the commission at its
Higgins Lake meeting, asking It
to determine whether the legisla-
ture should be required to grant
authority for a park fee. The At
torney general has held the depart
ment lacks that authority now.
"A survey OF parks throughout
the nation" Hoffmaster said, 'indi-
Gates a general policy Of having
the public acquire and develop
parks and then require the users to
maintain them"
Hoffmaster said the state will
spent $5,000,000 in the next FIVE
years to acquire land for It's South
ern Michigan park program, and
that upwards Of another $5,000,000
will be needed to develop 1t.
He said the commission might
decide to charge a general admis-
sion to the parks, or charge only for
parking or special uses, such as
camping. The only charge made
in state parks now is for electrici-
ty, boats and bathhouse facilities.
