Washington, April 10 UP) -
The War Production Board and a
large segment of the automobile in
dustry appeared at odds today over
whether passenger car production
should be resumed by degrees as
arms output falls off or await q
complete cessation of hostiliteS.
WPB officials indicated they fav-
ored partial resumption soon after
defeat of either Germany or Japan.
Industry leaders, however, were un-
derstood to favor proposal to
manufacture only replacement parts
as long as any hostilities continue
and to delay passenger car con-
struction until the entire industry
is ready to reconvert.
Both sides presented their views
yesterday in a discussion between
WPB and II top fight executives of
the nine firms that were engaged in
making automobiles before the war.
No conclusions were reached and
the meeting adjourned for two or
three months.

POLL

Beautiful and most dramatic hit
ever to play at the Loew Poll the
alter Jane Eyre" has just three
days to stay. It's beautiful story
and touching acting will have ev-
eryone standing up to cheer this hit.
In the leading roles of Edward
Rochester and Jane roles, 1t seems
that they destined to play are two
of the screens outstanding stars,
OrSon Welles and Joan Fontaine.
Despite the acclaim that has greet
ed previous performances of these
players In Jane Eyre" each reach
es milestone in their brilliant ca
reers. Jane Eyre" has been de-
scribed as "a love story every wo-
man would die thousand deaths to
live" A girl with no home, no
family, who has known only cruel
ty and bestiality of men, James
path crosses that of man whose
passion tossed life has been spent
searching for one woman he could
love with all depths of his soul.
Sweeping relentlessly through the
whole range of human emotions,
through passion, fury, laughter, ter
ror, tenderness, the romances Of
Jan and Edward Rochester reaches
climax and then grim secret
out Of his past tears Jane from his
arms. All the transporting love, the
frightening mystery, the almost I'M
bearable suspense that marked
Charlotte Bronte's emotion-torn
novel literally lives on the screen,
in all its onrush Of unforgettable
characters scenes and moments OF
glorious beauty. Ma .chin., the sup
erlative performances Of Welles and
Miss Fontaine, an exceptional cast
lends life and breath to every mo-
ment of the story. Especially to be
commended are Margaret OBrien
who plays Edward Rochester's
young ward, Peggy Ann Garner, IN
the part of Jane as a child, John
sutton, as DIR. Rivers and Sara ALI
good Daniel, and Agnes Moorehead,
all doing wonderful work In this
dramatic hit.
The co-hit in this program OF hits
is Memphis Belle" filmed IN
technicolor by the u. 8. Army Air
Corps. It shows our bombers on
the bombing mission over Berlin,
and shows how they come In safe
in their battered planes at their
home base.
OF course the latest news Of the
day Is also on this big program.

Old Idea
Cro9s Up
BY r. HI. SHACKFORD
United Press Staff Correspondent

UNITED Press STAN correspondent
Washington, April 10 CUP -
! The State Departments preliminary
proposal for a postwar international
organization was expected in in
formed quarters today to be similar
structura1ly to the old League OF
Nations.
The proposal, which the depart
ment was ready to discuss with
Congress was understood to differ
from the league primarily in the
arrangement under which the new
organization would call for joint use
of force by the major nations for
suppression or prevention OF ag-
erosion.
Chairman Tom Connally, D., Tex,
of the Senate Foreign Relations
committee was expected to an
nounce today a bipartisan COM
mittee, consisting of three or four
members from each major party,
to cooperate with the state depart
ment on the plan.
Secretary of State Corden Hull
requected appointment of the com
mittee to prevent recurrence of the
experience after World War I when
disagreement between the executive
and legislative branches kept the
United States out of the League OF
Nations.
Hull has made clear that the plan
he has been working on does not
envision a world government along
federation lines or super world
government; nor does it contem-
plate an international police force
in the sense of a separate army
composed of men from various ma
lions under one command.
That does not mean that such
suggestions will not be discussed
with the congressional committee or
with other nations. Hull has said
that no plans have been ruled out
for discussion.
But there was evidence that the
thinking in high places in the gov
eminent leaned toward plan ur1-
der which the major nations would
maintain sufficient military forces
to maontain the peace plus an ar
rangement for the use OF those
forces Jointly against future agrees
sors. Something similar to the joint
chiefs of staff, with the big four
countries represented. may be con-
tinued In a neffort to make COM
mitments more binding.
Assistant Secretary Of State Brec-
kenbridge long has described the
minimum Of machinery" which the
new international organiz alton
should have:
IA general body on which all
members states will be equally rep
resented to Serve as a world assem-
bly, Of nations.
PA small body or council repre-
sentative Of the small and large
nations and endowed with adequate
powers and means to arrange for
/ maintaining peace.

Wild Plum
Now Saved
BY EDMUND r. D'MOCH
limited Press Staff Correspondent

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Bismarck, N. D., April 1S-UP)-
The "jitterbug coal" mystery which
had mystified the farmers Of the
Wild Plum school district at the
ecge Of the Dakota bad lands for
more than a week, was a hoax
siaged by four and possibly six of
the schools nine pupils, 1t was dis
closed today.
Special Assistant Attorney Cen
eral James w. Austin, who spent
four days in the district questioning
nearly rs residents, said the pupils
fabricated the story and created
the optical illusion of the leaping
Ignite to fool" thier teacher, Mrs.
Pauline Rebel, %.
The whole illusion, according to
Austin, hinged upon the fact that
Mrs. Rebel Is nearsighted and in
need Of glasses stronger than those
she normally wears.
1.-The tall, masked stranger the
burning dictionary, and threatening
notes were part Of the Illusion"
Austin said.
after we questioned nearly rs
persons" Austin said, "one of our
investigators asked one more ques-
ton and the children broke down.
One by one, they said they were
tired of the mystery and wanted to
get it cleaned up"
The Story
Here Is the story as Austin told
1t:
When the desire to have a little
fun" with Mrs. Rebel possessed the
children, one Of the Oldest of the
conspirators would throw a piece
of coal at her. She reacted, nat
ural,y, by taking off her glasses, and
then the schoolroom would resound
with ShriekS because the coal would
start jumping about everywhere.
When Mrs. Rebel stepped out of
the classroom, one of the children
started a blaze in the books, the
bookcase and on the far side OF the
window blinds and. by the time the
school teacher returned, smoke
would be pouring from each of the
books and blinds would be on fire.
Without her glasses, she became
easy prey for he tall stories told by
the children, Austin said.
Austin said that George Steiner,
father Of five Of the pupils, doubted
tn story at first, but, he, too, was
convinced.

WHAT IT MEANS
 U. 5 Victory In Marshalls
By NED NORDNESS

WASHINGTON - The smash ingly successful method of attack used by the Navy in knocking the Japanese out of their best bases in he Marshalls means two things-both sad-for Tokyo.
 1.-The Navy now has massed in the Pacific a fleet of such striking power that it now can, for probably the first time since war began, mount offensives against key points of Japan's em- pire that before were considered months and years away.
 2.-The Navy can adopt bold tactics that at times will approx mate the bli'z warfare common on land fronts.
 Here are some figures that il- lustrate the amazing comeback of the Navy: y.
 On Dec. '. l941, we had 344 warships, including 17 battle ships and seven carriers. By Jan. l, 1943, the number went up to 419, and by last November, this number had doubled.
 Aircraft carrier power in the same period increased from seven to 56 known craft Gncluding es- cort carriers).
 Our naval forces now consist of 14,000 ships of all types, in cluding auxiliaries, and 27,000 planes.
 These vessels, of course, are divided into fleets serving in sev- eral theaters of action. It is gen orally known, however, that the Pacific floats our greatest arma- da. And the reported two million tons of fighting ships that ground the Marshall defenses into noth- ingness provides more proof than the enemy probably wants that the Pacific fleet is now ready to go.
 The Navy's present offensive power being what it is, there no longer is need to strike fast and then hide, as was the practice after Pearl Harbor.
 At the start of the Solomon Islands offensive, for example, ships usually darted in at night with men and supplies. Warships usually engaged superior naval strength in running battles fought after dark. But now the Navy can stand around enemy bases, as it did in the Marshalls, and virtually challenge the Japanese fleet to come out and fight. The fact that the Japanese didn't at that time-but chose to wait un- til they could have all the advan- tages on their side-is perhaps the most significant thing about the Marshalls conquest.

KEEP
 AMERICA AMERICAN
Poem by RAY MADISON Editor. Center Post-Dispatch
 Center. Colorado

I'm writing to you, dear dad, Because know you'll understand The way I feel about our native
 land. We are afraid, my pals and T. No; I do not mean afraid to die It's just the things we hear That make us fear Reports of strikes that slow the
 flow Of guns and planes and tanks To battle fronts. And we would like to know Who is to blame; What sabotage is dimming free
 dom's flame; Are you, at home. about to lose .. the game? Dad, do the. very best you can To keep America American. When we come back Of we do come back We will expect to find our liberty
 intact Such as the right to choose our
 way of life; Each as an individual man It is for this we fight and plan. We grant no governing power to
 bureaucrats, We do not want a geStapo To spy upon us every place we
 go, We do not want security-well
 take chance To live as free men or fill graves, For we have seen What it can mean To be the slaves of Relationships. And we abhor Their lust for power, Because they forced us into war. Every liberty loving man Should keep America American.
 III. I'm making plans for me and you, And not forgetting Betty Lou Whom I expect to marry when The war is over, and Pm home
 again want to give my sons heritage As priceless as the one I knew, And dad, that's why I'm trusting
 you To keep our country just the
 same As when I left.
 I do not want new-made
 world Just home, and work At jobs I've always done; If I can play a fair, square game
 and win want 10 keep the laurels I have
 won. Not being told how much to plant
 or sow; No price set on the product of
 my toll, That's all I crave I'll not need any "cradle to the
 grave" Plans made for me, Because I will be my own man. And don't you see? America will be American.
 So dad, don't throw me and my
 buddies down Some of us, of course, will not
 return- We will not rue to lie in foreign
 soil; We'll rest in peaceful sleep If you but keep The torch of liberty aglow, The blood of heroes is a sacred
 oil That feeds the flames of freedom Tn a never-ceasing flow. So dad, do everything you can To keep America American.
