Salvation Army to relinquish

while the room facilities are
crowded to capacity"

Major factors affecting 1914 earnings and
the earnings outlook for 1945 are outside

from the war, and the dense traffic volume

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

C& Os management believes that one Of
it's obligations is to take aggressive steps to
meet the intensified postwar competition by
contributing to the development of improved
and more efficient technology, designs and
methods. 1t has expanded the scope Of its
chronological research and development pro-
gram, and will put into operation the worlds
first coal-burning, steam-turblne-powered
electrically driven locomotives. Chesapeake
& Ohio believes these locomotives constitute
a distinct improvement, both in technology
and economy of maintenance, over all exist
ing types of steam and Diesel road locomo-
tives. Exceptionally we'll suited to hauling
fast troop trains, these locomotives of revo-
lutionary design will ultimately power a new
c & streamlined passenger train, to be
built when materials become available.
Because of their tremendous war accom-
plishments. the railroads deserve well of the
American people and of their legislative
representatives-to the end that they may
contribute as nightly to the realization of
strong postwar economy as they are doing
to the successful prosecution of the war.

Himm|er Reported
Superseding Hitler
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 1.-THE British
Press Association today reported a
grave split developing among the
Nazis and said evidence had reached
official quarters in London that the
Nazi party was throwing over
Adolf Hitler in favor of Gestapo
Chief Heinrich Hinlmler
There was no confirmation from
the British Foreign Office.
A member of Commons told For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden he
had heard a report that Hitler had
been assassinated, but Mr.. Eden
said he had not heard it.
Without specifying the source of
It's information, the news agency's
diplomatic correspondent said he
had been authoritatively Informed
that there were good reasons to
believe that Hitler already was being
superseded by Himmler.
Foreigners who have been in the
closest touch with Germany are
convinced that Hitler is a dying
man." the correspondent added.
The Foreign ONCE said it was
operating on the theory that Hitler
still was in control, with Himmler
in command of defense forces. One
spokesman said that nothing def.
mite had been received Of a split
among Nazi leaders.
AS to Hitler's condition, he said
all kinds of reports are heard
that he is dying, insane or even
dead and any one of them may be
true, but probably most of them
aren't"

Coffee Says Agencies
Ignored Congress on
Aluminium Contracts
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representative Coffee, Democrat,
of Washington contended today
that Government war agencies have
"thumbed their noses" at Congress
in contracting for development of
aluminium in Canada.
Mr.. Coffee told the Senate Small
Business Committee that the latest
contract for S250,000000 pounds of
aluminium from the Aluminium Co.
of Canada Shipshaw development
was just one example of how domes-
tic interests we're being frozen out.
The new March. l945, contract
calls for $4,000 900 pounds of Ship
shaw metal at a base price slightly
under Is cents per pound he tes-
tilted.
IF this metal had been produced
In the Northwest at recent costs OF
IL cents per pound, the Government
would have saved nearly $7,500.000
as against the cost OF Canadian
aluminium 1sSe f~
He testified that William L. Bait,
executive vice chairman of the War
Production Board, was one OF the
principal promoters of the original
Shipshaw deal.
Asserting aluminium cutbacks in
the United States total 252,0000OO
pounds, he said this is virtually the
same amount the United States has
agreed to purchase in Canada.
This recent Shipshaw contract"
Mr.. Coffee continued. is nothing
more than a move that will freeze
out the low-cost Pacific Northwest
plants for postwar operation and
thus deny employment opportunities
to returning veterans and unem-
ployed war workers"
He testified after Mr.. Bait had
told the committee that the Amer
ican Government had advanced
s68, 500 900 to help finance construc-
ton of Shipshaw power facilities
because of the urgent need OF
aluminium for planes back in l94l.

tee, considering congressional

discard Italy's 'co-belligerent'

1T seems to me that it is quite
proper that our Government should
be quickened at this time into action
on something that has been too long
delayed the Mayor telegraphed.
Recognition of Italy as full ally
would make her eligible for the

denied.

power-by extending the hand OF
