Secret European Trip
By Hopkins Reported; !;
May Involve Big 3
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Jan. 27.-The move
ments of Harry Hopkins, President
Roosevelt's personal adviser, were
cloaked in censorship blackout
tonight while reports circulated In
London that top-ranking American
advisers might meet in Italy and
France before Mr.. Roosevelt. Prime
Minister Churchill and Premier
Stain gather at the conference
table.
Reports from the United States
last Monday said Mr.. Hopkins was
en- route to Britain, but it seemed
unlikely that his arrival here or the
purpose of his visit would be dis
closed until after the big Three"
meeting.
The fact that Mr.. Hopkins was
selected to make a trip to Europe
before the big Three" parley was
regarded here as a move to obtain
f1rst-hand and up-to-date informa-
ton for the President on the prob
lens he is to discuss with Mr..
Churchill and Premier Stain.
Stettl0HluS hOie DeDdteu.
Speculation continued here that
Secretary of State Stettinius might
also come to London, though the
discussions seeking Anglo-American
Unity before the grand Allied par
ley have been concluded by lower
ranking State Department and
Foreign Office representatives.
There still is possibility that Gen.
de Gaulle may be invited to the
"Big Three" meeting. If, however,
he does not attend as full partici-
pant, 1t seems probable he will sit
in on the meeting when the future
of German territory west of the
Rhine is considered. France already
has advanced a claim for this terri
tory.
The agenda for the forthcoming
Roosevelt -Churchill-St meeting
appeared boiled down to these sub
jects:
Treatment of Germany after the
war.
Proposals left in allegiance after the
Dumbarton Oaks conference.
Political and social problems of
liberated countries.
Agreements Expected.
However, sources here consider it
not impossible that relations be-
tween the Soviet Union and Japan
may also be considered. The So
viet-Japanese neutrality pact ex-
pires April Is and either nation may
give notice that it will not renew
the agreement.
Present indications are that the
conference will result in formal
agreement that East Prussia and
the Polish corridor be annexed by
Poland, that German territory west
of the Rhine go to France and that
the Ruhr valley be administered by
an international commission.

PASTORS ENDORSE REV. G. ". REED. JR.
0pA SETS new CAR PRICES;
10 BE RELEASED IN few DAYS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-Retail
reiling prices on the new automo-
biles have been set by the Office
of Price Administration (OPA)
and will be announced in four or
five days, Administrator Chester
Bowles, disclosed tonight.
Bowles, at press conference,
declined to hint what buyers will
have to pay for new cars. Other
OPO officials admitted that the
new prices probably will be "con-
siderable higher" than was hoped
originally.
Bowles said two months ago that
new cars would cost "slightly
more" than 1912 prices. But when
OPAreceived manufacturers costs,
it found that the makers prices
definitely would be higher than
the 1912 level.
OPA and automobile dealers and
distributors were revealed to be
battling over how much Of the in
crease will have to be absorbed by
dealers and how much can be
passed on to consumers.
He emphasized that he would not
permit dealers to double the profit
they received on each car before
the war, but conceded they will be
allowed a considerable higher"
per-car profit than in 1889.
He declined to say what profit
margin would be allowed, but
pointed out that dealers will be
selling "a lot more cars and so their
margin will be we'll above the pre-
war margin"
"The worst the dealers would get
would be the 1889 profit" Bowles
said, "but Pm sure they'll get
higher unit profit"

$4,000 FOR CAMP SITES
FOR BOY SCOUTS IN SOUTH

NEW YORK, Nov. 2 (ANP).-
The Carnegie corporation of New
York has appropriated $4,000 to
the Boy Scouts of America to help
bring the Cub Scout and Boy Scout
programs to more Negro boys in
the south, it was announced by DIR.
Stanley A. Harris, national direc-
tor of the interracial service of the
Boy Scouts of America. This fund,
he said, will help local Boy Scout
councils purchase campsites on
which Negro boys may camp.
"This gift" said DR.. Harris,
supplements a grant Of $4,000
given to us last june by the General
Education board. The $4,000
grant was to help us obtain men for
full time professional service as
field executives. The new $4,000
grant will help us obtain camps
where the outdoor program of
scouting may be carried on"
Any scout council in the south
needing a Negro field executive or
a campsite for Negro boys may OBJ
tain a grant up to $1,000 in each
case, provided the white citizens of
the community contribute one-third
of the needed funds and the Ne
groes Of the community also con-
tribute the remaining one-third.
A similar grant made by the Gen
eral Education board in 1941 re-
suited in the employment of nearly
so additional Negro field execu-
tives. These new funds will help
make possible the employment of 35
additional field executives and the
purchase and development Of Is
new campsites.
Great progress is being made"
said DIR. Harris, "in bringing this
very helpful program of civic and
moral education to Negro boys. Last
year our Negro membership passed
the 100000 mark. Region Six, COM
prising North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida, re-
ports a FL per cent increase in
membership among Negro boys for
the first half of 1945."

IN his behalf.
Committee members were heart
ened by this new display of a united
front, which they believe will be the
spark that will set in motion tre-
mendous response at the polls Tues
day, and result in the election of
Negro to an important public office
for the first time in Dayton.
Pastors of all churches are now
being asked to augment their per-
sonal endorsements by personal
messages from their respective pull
pits Sunday morning. Rev. Reeds
committee pointed out today that
in this manner, on one day, the
greatest number of people could be
urged to vote, and elect Rev. Reed.
Many new volunteer workers
have also answered the call to aid
in the campaign. One very active
worker, who asked that his name
not be used because he wanted pub
licity only for Rev. Reed and not
for himself, said yesterday that the
new volunteers are responding to
the call in increasing numbers be-
cause it was now felt, for the first
time. that a Negro candidate had
chance to win.
This worker said this activity was
based on the numerous endorse
ments, and great amount of work
that is being done for Rev. Reed by
organizations and individuals in
other sections of the city. 'If every
Negro will cast one of his four votes
for Rev. Reed, this, with the other
effort in his behalf should assure
victory" he added.
"Can you imagine" this worker
continued, "any greater gift we
could give to our returning war vet
erans than the assurance that we
have contributed, in our own small
way in this community, to Negro
progress by assuring his children
an equal opportunity for education
and recreation by electing Negro
to the Board of Education"
Meanwhile, Mr.. Hazey Loritts,
chairman Of the Reed campaign
committee said plans were being
completed for the giant mass meet
ing to be held at the Palace Theater
Ballroom Monday night.
It lis anticipated that this election
eve rally, replete with music and
oratory, will be the beginning of a
new and thrilling chapter in local
history.
Rev. Reed will deliver the prin-
cipal address, and will outline his
program and platform. This should
be an inspiring message.
