Some Long-kissing
 Household Articles May Soon Be Had

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The Government slipped it's reconversion program into high gear today Con- sumers, however, must wait months at least-before most of the long missing household appliances return in quantity to stores.
 The War Production Board re- leased a free supply of metal for civilian goods, the amount depend ing on what is left over from war demands. It also began gradual scrapping, over the next half-year, of it's priority system for all but mu- -nutions items.
 Yet electric and gas refrigerators for instance, will not reach stores until September or October, and then probably as "demonstrator" models
 Similar guideposts for a dozen otLer scarce or unobtainable con- sumer items showed:
 Washing machines, will reach the stores late in August, with a good supply available by the end of 1946 Vacuum cleaners, few now, with an adequate supply in stores in October of 1946.
 Sewing machines to reach stores in November and December, with good production coming in the fall of 1946.
 Electric irons, some now, good supply in mid-1946.
 Alarm clocks, some now, adequate supply by end of l945 Galvanized ware is reaching stores now, and a good supply should be available in November December 1945
 Scissors and shears, reaching the stores now, with good supply an- ticipated in the last two months of this year
 Plated silverware is now on sale in many stores. and by November-De- , cember, 1945, there should be enough to supply all demands.

 SOUTH HIGHWAYS

ASHING GTON, July 2.-The House Rules Committee today ap- proved legislation to enable the Roads Committee to investigate ex- penditures in connection with the Alaskan and Pan-American High ways.

FLOOD OF FIRE SENT DOWN ON JAP CITIES
Federal Regulation Is Moi Wanted by Staies,
 Keynote, Governors Meei
By JACK BELL Associated Press CorrespondenD

Associated Press CorrespondenD
 MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich, July 2-Sounding the keynote of the 37th annual Governors Conference, Gov. Herbert B. Nav of Utah de- clared today that the American public does not want Federal reg ulation of it's life when peace comes.
 Nav, Chairman of the Confer ence, led off half dozen speeches which dwelt primarily with the as- serted competency of the States to cope with postwar reconversion and other problems-always with the note that the Federal Government should help but not direct this ac- tivity
 Nav said State Governments were concerned lover the fact that many Federal officials believe and are advocating that our National Government should extend into the postwar era the controls and au- thority exercised by it during the war.
 The Utah Governor said that the States had acceded to the will of the Federal Government, but in so doing we have tasted the bitter pill of autocratic government and do not like it."
 In somewhat the same vein, Gov. Earl Warren of California said in a prepared address that full em- ployment must be encouraged in every section of the country re- gardless of pre-war conceptions of industrial centralization.
 Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin Of Connecticut said that it was "ab- surd to believe that the Nation can be riddled by industrial strifes, jurisdictional disputes or attempts by management to stifle unions and at the same time have full employment"
 hAC NtOfC4AiOlo VIII SCO lCPOl | tonight on the United Nations Charter from Comdr. Harold E. Stassen, former Minnesota Chief Executive, who played an import ant part in drafting the document at the San Francisco Conference.
 Stassen is expected to urge, as did Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, speedy Senate ratification of the treaty without reservations or amendments.
 Dewey told news conference Sunday that he believed reserva- tions to the ratification resolution such as are under consideration by Senator Taft (R-Ohio) and others might delay American adoption of the charter.

Third Phase of Triple h. vasion Su(lessfuI-Mae-
 Arthur in Command
By STEINER DAVIS Associated Press War Correspondent

MANILA, July 2.-Australian troops made a successful major land ing at Balikpapan Sunday in the third phase of 8 triple invasion of Bornec.
 Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who is in personal command, said this se- cured domination of all Borneo, split the East Indies and virtually conn., pleted Allie tactical control of the entire Southwest Pacific.
 Japanese resistance was aggressive to light as tke tough infantry and tank troopers of the veteran Aus tralian Seventh Division smashed ashore in the suburbs of the Far East's greatest oil center behind the most intensive pre-invasion bom- bardment yet unleashed in this theater. Opposition increased as the Australians thrust steadily inland.
 By the middle of the afternoon they had won the last ridge looking down on the ruins of the town and refinery and it's still blazing oil storage tanks. They had taken an elaborate series of tunnels and pill boxes which the Japanese had de- serted in the face of the furious Naval and air onslaught.
 Toughest opposition was on this last ridge, which Associated Press Correspondent James Hutcheson said was filtered with dead Japan ese, many of whom obviously had been killed by bombs and artillery fire, although others were chopped down by Australian machine gum ners and tanks.
 Although commanders had antici- pated strong defense of this strong ly-gunned enemy base, first losses were declared officially to have been light.
 This was due in part to the $500 ton month-long pre-invasion bomb ing by the U. s. 18th and Fifth Air Forces and to the shell and rocket ire from the U. s. Seventh Fleet with Dutch and Australian units supporting the landing. Their weight of metal was described as heavier than the combined tonnage fired in the Leyte, Lingayen Gulf, Luzon and Manila areas.
 The Japanese shore guns which had escaped being knocked out in a month-long arterial softening up observation fired back sporadically at some of the more than 300 in vasion ships, but their defense was ineffective.
 The landing ships swept directly up to the beaches through channels which had been cleared of countless mines and buoyed by daring fleet minesweepers who operated under Japanese gunfire for Is days before the invasion. American underwater demolition swimmers went in six days before D-day and worked ck-deep in the surf. removing fix ed obstacles, while planes guarded them from Japanese gunfire.

The W ashingt ion
 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON It. Col Robert S. Alien now sOn active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON the most important Nazi files in Europe to- day are those of I. G. Farbenin- dustrie, the giant German cartel which produced synthetic gasoline, synthetic rubber, plus other secret war materials, and which cooper ated with various American firms, such as Standard Oil of New Jer- sey and the Aluminium Corporation of America before Pearl Harbor.
 These files my reveal secret Ger man patents which would help American industry; also reveal the extent to which certain American firms collaborated; also prove the war guilt of German industrial leaders.
 However, here is the inside story of what is happening to these files. They were first stored by the U. s. Army in a German warehouse in Frankfurt. Then the Army needed space, and moved large group of displaced persons-Rus- sians, Poles, French-into the ware house. The D. P's immediately began tearing open the files to see if there was anything valuable in them.
 Then the U. s. Army needed even more space, and moved the files outside behind the warehouse. There they kicked around in the wind and rain.
 Finally someone high up in the Army. realized the importance ot the I. G. Farben files and moved them back into the warehouse Whether it is too late to make real

competition. Nelson winner of the P. G. A. title in 194O and the U. s. Open in 1889, is favored because he has ice water in his veins, whereas the more temperamental Snead is liable to blow up" under climax pressure.
 Both are about the same age. Nell son of Denton, Tex, will be B Sun- day. the same mark that Snead reached on Feb. 4. Both are ap- preaching their peak, which comes later in golf than in most other sports. Remember that Craig Wood won the U. s. Open at 20, and Ted Ray of Great Britain won the same title back in 1920 when he was 43
 Nelson displayed his "ice" last night during a golf dinner at Toots Shor's. There was a long debate as to what would happen if the 36 holes Of medal play on Saturday ended in tie. Nelson said, Let's have play-of of nine or 18 holes." The committee decided that if medal play resulted in a tie, it would stand as a tie. Let them fight it out for prestige in match play on Sunday.

Mort Cooper Sold Despite Southworth s Plea
Girl Trainer At 'Gunsett Is New Sensation

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Pawtucket, R. l., May 25-(UP)- A curly-haired Pennsylvania de- butante rates tops today among the exercise boys" who are schooling the thoroughbreds at the current Narragansett Park meeting.
 Though only 19, Miss Shirley Stanley of Bristol, Pa. is classed by the hard-bitten horsemen as "the best gal rider we've ever had around here and probably as good as any man in the business"
 AS recently as Wednesday she proved this. One of the toughest assignments at the tracks is to teach a horse to break from the starting gate. The barrier flashes back, about 1000 pounds of startled horse springs forward and the rider perched like monkey on it's neck is snapped back with lurching jerk. Races are won and lost right there.
 Winner
 On the crisp and dewy dawn of Wednesday Miss Stanley in jodh- purs was breaking West Fleet of the E. E. Miles stables out of the puett gate and working him three-eighths of mile. Thursday the gallant 13-to-1 shot won the feature race over such favored performers as Tetra Rock, smart bet and good go- irg to pay $28.20 for each $2 win bet.
 But that was typical of Shiriey's ability. Her dad, a top executive in a natio.- ally-known rubber conl- pany, always had saddle horses. His daughter learned to ride about the time she learned to walk.
 AS juvenile rider in horse shows around Pennsylvania and Maryland she got her share of blue ribbons.
 She schooled and rode jumpers before she went to high school. But of such riding she says:
 Working a thoroughbred after riding show horses is like driving Rolls-Royce after pushing along model-T'.
 It was in 1942 that she had her first chance to work thoroughbred when H. Guy Bedwell let her try one of his horses at Garden City. He was so impressed that he let her continue. She also worked for several other stables including that of J. c. Ellis, later owner of Dade Park.
 Studies Hard
 To increase her knowledge Of horses she studied under Dr. E. J. Laing. a Pennsylvania veterinarian. At the track shes up and at the stables at 5:30 a. m. daily and works with the high-strung animals until 9:3O a. m. Then its back to Providence for breakfast at the home of family friends with whom she stays.
 Now Shirleys parents are insist ing that Ahe go to college but the attractive brunette has other ideas.
 I'm going to own my own racing stable before long she says. l know a trainer must be good businessman as well as know how to handle horses. That's why I'm working and studying so hard

second. Two weeks later he again placed over a muddy strip.
 On both occasions he closed rapidly and the astute Jones opined that he would do better in the fall over a distance. In his following three starts, Pot O Luck met the toughest juveniles and was out of the coin each trip. In the Belmont Futurity, however, he gave an inkling of the fact that he was much improved. In the ruck in the early part, he un- corked speed that swept him from 11th to fifth.
 BREAKS MAIDEN IN STYLE
 On the morning of the Cham pagne Stakes at Belmont, Pot O Luck was still a maiden. Thirteen went to the post in that event in which, just two years before, Count Fleet ran the mile in 1:34 4-5, the fastest eight, furlongs ever negotia ted by juvenile. That topped Alsab's time of the year be- fore in the same number, which was the swiftest ever recorded by a 2-year-old until the son of Reign Count care roaring along.
 Ridden by Bobby Permane, Pot O Luck was far of the pace in the early running. Working his way up on the outside, he responded to urging and get up to win from Sir Francis by a head.
 BEST WHERE RACING BEBINS
 When the Calumet string was moved to Pimlico, Pot O Luck was given a brief rest. Jones waited for the one-and- nd-one-sixteenth m e Pimlico Futurity.
 Nine went to the post and, as usual, Pot O Luck was rather slug gish in the early running. Caught between horses at the half, he moved around the leaders to get up in the final strides to win by head from Plebescite in one of the most thrill ing finishes of the Pimlico Futurity seen in many season. The time was 1:46 2-5.
 It was expected that Ben Jones would send Pot O Luck after the Walden Stakes, but the famous con- dtioner obviously had something else in mind
 It could have been the Kentucky Derby.

Demers 6-5 Over Kronis Tonight

Boston, May 25-(UP)-Pat De- mers, tWo-fisted Brockton light weight, was expected to rule slight favorite tonight when he meets Steve Kronis of South Boston in a 10-round bout at the Boston Arena that is expected to serve as the first elimination fight for the contro- versial New England title.
 The title currently is held by Benny Singleton, Waterbury, Conn.,, Negro, but reports are that he no longer can make the weight and will vacate the crown.
 A square jawed ruffian of the ring, Demers rose high in the na- tional ratings when he whipped the good Danny Bartfields in an lp- set in New York few weeks ago.
 Kronis is a veteran of World War II who seeks his 10th straight vic- tory since leaving the service. His first main bout appearance came week ago when he beat Rocky Pro- gano of Stamford, Conn.
