AZ Cars 10 Be Freed
OF Rationing 10 Clear
Way for New Models
BY The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
All remaining new 1912 passenger
omobiles-around GOODWILL be
removed from rationing in a few
days to clear the way for new
models, it was learned last night.
Similar restrictions now are being
drawn up for new models on which
production has started. Rationing
of these is expected to last from the
time they first appear, probably late
this summer, until at least early in
1916.
Removal of new 1912 models from
rationing has been decided on be-
cause dealers feel these cars might
not sell or that prices would drop
if they still were available when this
years cars arrive in Showrooms.
In addition to ceiling prices, which
are at the March, 1912, level, deal
erS are permitted to collect charges
fcc over three years of storage Of
the prewar models remaining.
While cars to be built this year
are expected to have ceilings higher
than the 1912 level, new model
might cost less than a car manu-
featured before the war when the
storage charge is considered.
A chance to dispose of 1912 cars
now without rationing will help
dealers avoid loss, OPA feels.
When rationing began early in
1912, about $4,000 new passenger
/ cars were frozen and released
under monthly quotas. Eligibility
requirements gradually were tight
ened until only doctors, nurses, pub
lie welfare officials and few others
could qualify.
These same tight restrictions will
be put into effect when the first few
models go on sale. Eligibility will
be broadened as production in
creaSeS.

SCHIERSTEIN, Germany, July
14.-Gen. EiSenhower's relaxation of
the nonfraternization rule met with
the warm approval of doughboys
today. They declared frankly that
the rule never had been enforceable
and had been violated ever since it
was put into effect.
THE order was being violated

Friedman of Chicago land it was
high time the Army came to the
decision to make changes"
There was a noticeable excite
ment among German girls as the
news spread quickly through this
town on the Rhine They had
many smiles for the soldiers. Their
attitude was summed up by buXom,
22-year -old Hedy Bauer, who said:
Now we can be decent and
walk around in daylight to talk to
Americans. We won't have to
sneak around to see the boy and
always be afraid of the military
police. This is better, although I
don't see where there will be any
real difference since American SOL
diers have been promenading with
frauleins since the day they
arrived"
One doughboy, however, whose
views were shared by some of his
friends, said "the generals order
has taken all the fun out of frater-
nizing. 1t was fun when you had
to slip around to see girl. You
did it because they said you
couldn't"
Sergt Edward Detjen. st. Louis,

and said: "Therell be some changes

a COP Senators Urqe
World Conference 10
Achieve Free Trade
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A general international economic
conference to consider practical
steps" to achieve freedom of inter-
national trade was suggested by
four Republican Senators yesterday
Until one is held, they said, con-
sideration of the Breton Woods
agreements for an international
monetary fund and an information
al bank should be deferred.
The four. Senators Taft of Ohio,
Millikin Of Colorado, Butler of
Nebraska and Thomas of Idaho,
outlined their views in minority
report as members of the Senate
Banking Committee.
Voted Against Bank.
They voted in committee against
legislation for United States par
ticipation in the 100000, 900 in
ternational bank and the $780,
100000 monetary fund. Already
passed by the House, the measure
was approved 14-4 by the commit
tee and will come up in the Senate
Monday.
Worked out at a conference of
A nations at Breton Woods. N. H,
last summer, the agreement calls
for United States subscription of
$3,175, 000.00 to the banks capital
and $2,750 900, 900 to the monetary
fund.
The declared purposes of the bank
are to make or guarantee long-term
loans for rehabilitation and develop
ment. That of the fund is to stabil-
lie monetary exchange and elimi-
nate competitive exchange deprecia-
ton.
Minority Group Dissents.
The committee majority in an
earlier report declared the program
will help preserve peace by making
possible an expansion of interna-
tional trade"
But the minority asserted that
"the net result of the present bill
is to waste our money and accom-
plish nothing"
When the world is stabilized,
general sterilization fund may be
desirable" they continued ct could
probable be much smaller than the
one now proposed and it should,
of course, be confined definitely to
sterilization operations. We ques-
ton whether the Government should
ever guarantee international invest
ment."

laid upon the Big Three conference
table next week before Russian and
English speaking statesmen.
With Europe'S chaotic peace and
Asia'S still fiercely-raging warfare
inextricably linked, it is obvious that
the Soviet Union now stands toward
Japan in many respects similar to
the way the United States stood
toward Germany in the months pre-
ceding Pearl Harbor.

Army hospitals are taking steps
to prevent convalescent soldiers still
under hospital care from taking
jobs.
War Department officials said
yesterday it had been found that
some wounded veterans allowed to
live at home while still under hos
pital care, had been working. This.
they explained, delayed recovery
of the patient.
Accordingly, hospitals have in
stituted Investigations and cancelled

Philippine Copro on Way
To Relieve Soap Shortage

Good news on the soap front
came yesterday with the revelation
that the first shipment of copra
from the Philippine Islands since
the Japs took over three and a half
years ago now is en- route to the
United States.
Relief of the Nations fats, the
shipment, described by a foreign
economic administration source as
a Comparatively small" amount
seized from the enemy, is the first
tangible result of the operations of
a corporation recently set up
through FEA to speed up importa-
ton of copra.
1t was formed by representatives
of five companies which were en-
gagged in the corpa export trade in
the Philippines before the war.
Before the end of the year, Gov
eminent officials believe approx
mately $4,000 tons of Philippine
copra will be obtained.
In addition to its basic use for
soap-now in more limited supply in
view of requirements in liberated
European areas-copra is of strate-
gic Importance as rich source of
glycerine for use in explosives. Other
high priority uses for coconut oil
are in the manufacture of synthetic
rubber, lubricants, plastics, insecti-
cides and germicides.
FEA representatives now in the
Philippines are trying to determine
what will be needed to rehabilitate
the Philippine sugar industry, which
before the war provided Is per cent
of the United States supply.
Virtually all officials agree that
Philippine sugar imports will not
materialize until well along into
next year.

Failure Of Luftwaffe
To Give Army Support
Charged by Rundsfedf

BADKISSINGEN, Germany, July
14.--Field Marshal Gerd Won Rund-
stedt disliked the idea of q sep
arate German air force because of
the troubles encountered getting
tactical support from the Luftwaffe
and would have preferred the liai-
son system used by Allied air and
ground leaders.
The German commander in the
west expressed these views in an
interview this month with Mai.
Gen. Oliver P. Weyland, commander
Of the 9th Air Force and former
commander of the 18th Tactical
Air Command which battered Won
Rundstedt'S armies with fighter
bombers and medium bonlbers.
Gen. Weyland asked the question
to obtain the enemy'S views on the
value of our tactics and to attempt
to learn how and why the Nazi
air force failed.
British Doubt Story.
1--WE unfortunately did not have
close coordination" Won Rundstedt
said. I'VE had to go to the Luft-
waite and plead with them"
A high British officer, questioned
about that later, said it was just
the excuse of beaten general and
the fact was that the Germans
never really understood air war and
never had either enough or the
proper types of warplaneS.
Won Rundstedt said the Luft-
waite co-operated 100 per cent in
the Polish campaign and provided
satisfactory support during the at
tack on France. Then it deterior-
ated, he said, pointing out that the
Luftwaffe declined in relative
strength compared with Allied air.
forces. He also noted that the Nazis
never sent up more than 400 fight
erS in one day.
In this respect the British official
said he felt the Luftwaffe was
beaten before the Sicily landing,
whereas American officials date its
demise in May of 1914.
Won Runstedt said that because
Of "Goering's anxiety to keep the
air force an independent branch of
the service" there was no inter
change of staff officers between the
air and ground forces.
Lack of Planes Cited.
He said also that when the Luft-
waite lacked aircraft for all its
trained personnel the surplus men
were not transferred to the regular
ground forces, as was done in the
United States Army, but were kept
in separate field divisions of the
air force, where the proper results
never were obtained.
Won Runstedt said he believed the
entire German air force should have
been operated from a central pool
rather than parceled out among the
various armies and corps.
Won Runstedt expressed the view
that the Americans should have
used more tactical air effort at night.
since the moral effect would have
more than offset any decreased &C
curacy." He said the V weapons
came six months too late.

 MT. Kelley urged through The Democrat that widows, of veterans of World War I, with qualified claims for widows pension apply immediately through his office.
 The local representative pointed out that the law passed last Novem- Der relative to such claims permits Q one year (but one year only) period for the filing of such claims by these widows. Only widows whose personal income is $l,000 or less at the time of application can expect to receive such compensation.
 Future Provisions
 However, the principal point is that if such a claim Is filed now, even though the widows present in- come exceeds this level, that claim will be recognized at future date should her income be lowered to the $1 ,000 or less level. Thus, MT. Kelley urged that all applications be made now for registration.
 Mr. Kelleys office handled, other than claims, an average of more than 20 calls a day relative to vet erans problems, Similar offices have been set up in artford, New Haven, Bridgeport and Norwich.
