CP,-Talk of the chances for an
early victory over Germany
swept optimistically through
Congress members today. mod
Grated by advice from Rep. Nc
Cormack (D-Mass.) that this is
no time to get happily excited.
Mccormack, Democratic lead
er in the House, sent word from
Boston that Il am amazed at
Senator Vandenberg's (R-MichD
forecast of an early German col
lapse" He added: This is not
the time for responsible political
leaders to build up an expecta-
tion of an early return TO the
ways of peace. 1t is rather the
time to inspire a grim determin-
alton TO 60 forward and win the
war"
Vandenberg had said that
chances for an early German
collapse are sufficiently encour-
aging to make it urgent for
Congress to act on bills for re-
conversion Of Industry from war
uses. He has summoned Repub-
lean Senators to a conference
next Tuesday, when Congress
ends its summer recess.
Df
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee, ventured the forecast
that Germany would capitulate
by December /. Senator Thomas

priations, commented: Il don't
see how Germany can last
through the rest of this year."

Ford Denies
Plan Charge
Financial Support
Aim is Outlined

WASHINGTON, July 28-(P
Motor magnate Henry Ford has
issued vigorous denial that he
promised financial support to a
plan to "alter the course of
American history in the next
two to four years,"-a plan out
lined in letter which has been
introduced in evidence in the
mass sedition trial.
The letter, purportedly writ
ten in 1941 by William Dudley
Pelley, a defendant, to Maj. Gen.
George Van Horn Moseley, Of
the US. Army, retired, said the
writer wanted to share his infor-
nation with Ford, Charles A..

Missouri
County Counts
Five Firsts

COLUMBIA, Mo.-UP-For
the fifth consecutive war loan
drive, fancy county, in southern
Missouri, was credited with be-
ing the first county in the ma
ton to reach its bond quota, ac-
cording to r. L. Hill, outState
chairman of the Missouri War
Finance Committee.
Spurred by news of the AL
lied invasion of France, fancy
county citizens bought S156, 562
in war bonds to surpass an as
signed quota of 100000 a week
before the Fifth War Loan Drive
was officially launched. More
than $4,000 of the amount was
from sales of individual" bonds
alone, while sales to businesses
and corporations accounted for
approximately $50, 900. Hill said
the total sum included cash sub
scriptions only.

Payoff Book
Defense Clarifies
Croft Donations

MASON, July % - (P) -
With a defense accounting of a
fund for lobbying in the Legis-
lature written into the record,
the legislative graft trial was
recessed for the weekend today,
with some flurries expectable in
the testimony next week.
John E. Hancock, Detroit
branch manager of the Associ-
ates Discount Corporation, a de-
PENDANT who has acknowledged
he was treasurer of the lobby
fund, presented in Circuit Court
what he said was his final &C
counting to those who contrib
uted TO the fund.
The records balanced off col
lections and expenditures total
ing approximately $4,000 each,
with the lobbyist, Major Charles
F. Hemans, listed as receiving
81 ,070- of it fef-his services.
James E. Haggerty, Hancock S
attorney, said testimony would
show that Hemans received
more than that.
Hemans has testified Hancock
and four other finance company
officials who are on trial hired
him to pay brides to the other
II defendants, who were mem
bers of the 1889 Legislature, so
the legislators would do his bid
ding as the finance mans agent.
The defense denies Heman's
story.
In addition to payments to
Hemans, the disbursements COW
cred costs of lobbying by Han
cock and other finance company
officials, and meeting of the
group in Detroit to plan STRAIT
egies in maneuvering on bills in
the Legislature.
Hancock still was on the wit
ness stand undergoing direct ex-
animation by his own attorney
when court recessed to Monday,
with special Prosecutor Kim Sig
Ter awaiting opportunity to
cross-examine the witness after
Haggerty is through with him.
Sigler indicated his questioning
of Hancock would not be brief.

tions for secretary of state, at
torney general, auditor general
and state treasurer.
Fry's ability TO work out a
ticket from this field and avert
a possibly disastrous floor fight
will be watched keenly.
A boom was under way IN
many quarters to draft" Theo-
doredore I. "PhiD Fry, the Gov
ernors nominee brother, to run
for State treasurer, a post he
has held four times in years past
when Phil was known as the po-
litical big shot of the family and
Ed. Fry as his helper. The two
brothers have declined to have
anything to do with this broth
er-act movement.
+ Thurman M. Doyle Of Me-
nominee, a Democrat who has
some influential Republican
brothers, has Ed. Fry's nod for
the attorney general nomina-
ton if the Upper Peninsula
counties don't get into a fight
over it. There was some talk
that William E. Bowling, recent
ly defeated for denomination as
Wayne county prosecutor, might
be doomed for the post by De-
troit Democrats.
Fry indicated the way still
was open for Earnest c. Brooks,
the retiring Democratic State
Chairman whom he defeated for
the Governor nomination, to 60
on the ticket as the nominee for
Secretary of State. Maurice E.
Eveland, Mayville Banker, and
David M. Martin, former Sena-
tor from Flint, also were men,
toned.
Fry's preference for Col. Leo
j. Nowicki, former lieutenant
governor, as nominee for audi
tor general, appeared to have
struck the snag of Army rules
and Nowicki's reluctance to run.
For this post there was backing
for Jacob Sumeracki, Wayne
county auditor, former Auditor
General George T. Gundry, Of
Flint, or someone from the Up
per Peninsula if the northern
counties had no other spot on
the ticket and could agree on
one candidate.

Dixie Governors
Consider Negro
Graduate Schools

Biloxi-The southern Governors
conference today set up commit
tee to consider a regional system
of graduate schools for Negroes
which Gov. j. NJ Broughton, of
North Carolina, said he believed
would satisfy the equal educational
requirements of the supreme court.
Gov. Prentice Cooper of Tonnes
see, conference chairman, named
the committee after Gov. Chauncey
Sparks, of Alabama, revealed that
a plan was under consideration to
establish negro veterinary college
in Alabama and said he and Gov.
Colgate Darden, of Virginia, had
discussed plans for exchanging
students among states to avoid du-
plication of facilities and to enable
better schools to be maintained.
Il think a regional system of
Negro colleges would be the solu-
ton to the problem of graduate
work for southern negroes"
Broughton said, pointing out that
whereas the supreme court held in
the Missouri case that it was enough
to supply scholarship to the schools
of another state, a regional college
supported jointly by several states,
would probably be considered in a
different light.

School Lunch
Important In
Life of Child

It makes a long range difference
whether or not child has an ade-
quate school lunch, according to
specialists in the u. S. Department
of Agriculture. They point out that
one year of right feeding in the
life of a child is more important
than 10 years of right feeding after
one reaches the age of 40.
Now here's where the school
lunch comes in to NEE its share of
the days dietary needs. 1t is es-
timated that some four million chill
dren in $4,000 schools are having
nourishing school lunches this year.
The participation of colored chill
dren averages about 13 percent
The specialists point out that
the school child needs a minimum
of quart of milk each day, two
vegetables( one gree, leafy or vel
low two fruits, one egg i'm possible
one serving of meat, fish, poultry
or cheese; three servings of bread
or cereals; butter or fortified mar
garine, and cod-liver oil, preferably
until the child is 14-years old.
Because the child's stomach capa-
city is smaller, dividing his fooC
into three fairly equal meals j.
much better than having his stuff
at the evening dinner hour.
