Hen|ein Asks Support
OF Munich PACT
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, May 7.-Conrad Hen
lein, Nazi gauleiter of Sudetenland
and the leader who precipitated the
Czech crisis" which led to the
Munich settlement of 1888, declared
in a broadcast last night that the
United Nations should guarantee
Germany continued possession of
Sudetenland, which Hitler took
from Czechoslovakia at Munich.
In broadcast over the German
held Goerlitz radio, Hitler's lieu
tenant asserted:
when on September 30, 1898, the
treaty separating the Sudeten from
Czechoslovaka was signed in Munich,
Ia quarrel between the peoples
which had lasted for centuries was
ended. This treaty is for us the
legal foundation of our member
ship in the German Reich. -
For us this treaty cannot be
just scrap of paper. The states
which in 1888 decided on the separa-
ton of Germans from the Czech
territory, with the assent of the
then President of Czechoslovakia,
Benes, have themselves fixed the
borders of Sudetenland and have
thus undertaken a moral guaran-
tee. ="
Appealing to Sudeten Germans,
Henlein continued:
Il appeal to you, comrades, what
ever may be in store for us in the
future, do not disregard this historic
development. Keep your belief that
right will conquer, and right is on
our side.
May God protect our home
land"

WAC Who Wed Convict
Awaits Hardness Penalty
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAMP EDWARDS, Mass, May 2.
"A WAC private who wed an Ar
kansas convict and overstayed her
extended honeymoon furlough, was
confined to quarters today, awaiting
Army disposition of her case.
An Army spokesman said last
night that Pvt. Mary Delena
Bailey, 20, returned some time yes
terday and that disposition of her
case will depend on her story. Any
action against her will be initiated
by her commanding officer, he
added.
Private Bailey of Mount Vernon,
N. Y, married John R. Bailey, n,
of Malvern, Ark, after she had OBJ
tanned a furleugh for him from the
Arkansas State Penitentiary, where
he was serving a four-year sentence
for robbery. Bailey was granted the
furlough from the prison by Acting
Gov. j. L. Shaver of Arkansas and
was granted a 30-day extension

While his bride was awaiting ao-

Bailey was reported unable to linda

Shoes, Clothing Scarce.
Shoes and clothing, lumber, pulp
and paper, some chemicals and other
items will remain scarce probably as
long as Japan reSists. WPB predicts.
In garments and textiles, as in food,
the shortages are likely to be worse
before they are better.
Basic industries which have been
starved during the two-front war
will get positive WPB help through
rSiorities; these include favored"
items like farm machinery, railroads,
truck and bus lines, public utilities
and the petroleum industry.
Some consumer goods will be
pushed ahead also. WPB has pre-
pared list of Is items whose i'm
portance and scarcity warrant spe-
cial treatment.
The spot" reconversion plan
which lets single plants reconvert as
rapidly as their war usefulness
ends-will provide from the outset a
trickle, then stream of consumer
goods, to tide the economy over the
four or-five-month transition Pc
Rad.
This will result in the manufac-
ture Of innnerspring mattresses,
lawnmowers and hundreds of other
items. Some s7oo,o0O,0OO worth of
spot production has already been
authorized, most of it only waiting
on the release of materials to be
translated into civilian goods.
Even before today's surrender an
nouncement, WPB was preparing to
abandon its civilian production
freeze.
Indications came also that this
week would bring cutbacks in war
production for the Army ground
forces.
Thus far, most of the ground
forces cutbacks-those in tanks and
ammunition, for instance - have
been paper ones. They trimmed
down rising production goals for
future months.
The forthcoming cuts viii be &C
tual curtailments in current pro-
duction, but at the outset viii be
limited to such basic items as
earth-moving equipment and power
units.

Up 10 Senate Today;
COP Promises Battle
By the Assoeia ted Press.

President Truman's first cabinet
nomination comes before the Senate
today and Republicans are set for a
volley of criticism at selection of
Democratic National Chairman Rob-
ert E. Hannegan for Postmaster
General.
Solid Democratic backing made
approval certain, but Senator Dom
nell Republican. of Missouri in
tended to put in some opposition
licks nevertheless.
The, Missouri Senator and Mr..
Hannegan are old political oppo-
nents. In 1910 Senator Donnell, as
Republican candidate for Governor
|of Missouri. won by an apparent
$500 votes, but the Speaker of the
Missouri House, backed by the
Democratic organization, refused to
certify his election. He had to get
a State Supreme Court ruling to
gain Office.
Mr.. Hannegan, at the time, was
head of his party's st. Louis Central
Committee.
Chances apparently were dinin-
ishing, meantime, of a floor fight
over another Of Mr.. Humans ma
jor nominations, that of David
Lilienthal for new term as Ten
nessee Valley Authority director.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, of
Tennessee, critic of Mr.. Lilienthal,
was silent over the week end as to
whether he intends to battle against
confirmation and Republican leaders
said they doubted the Tennessean
could get much active aid from their
side.

News of the German surrender
resulted in comparatively little
change in most Washtngtonians
routine, and most people awaited a
statement from President Truman

Gen. Eisenhower's headquarters.
News Received in Silence.
At the United Nations Service
Center, Union Station Plaza, news
of the German surrender was re-
ceived quietly. Mrs. William M.
Calvin, executive secretary of Recre-

the center, said:
They're silent. They've been
waiting for the news for a long
time and now that it's here, they
seem to be very happy about it,
but have nothing to say"
A copy of an early edition of The
