 Authoritative sources said there were two parts to the loan. The main part totals about S3,750, 600, . 900. It will be new money" used to prime Britains creaking eco- homie pumps at two per cent inter est.
 A subsidiary loan of $65o, ,O00, 900 was included in the agreement, re- ports said, to pay for American lend-lease goods enroute or con- tracted for when the war ended. The interest rate on this part was reported to be 3-8 per cent.
 Restrictions Liberalized
 Tt is planned that Britain and the United States will go ahead to- gether, taking the world lead econ omically in peace as they did mill tarily in war" the Sketch added.
 The agreement was understood to have resulted finally when Britain JASAANo bO IAAAlC4 dCllldi0O lOA liberalization of her sterling area restrictions, which limited American ability to trade at will in areas where the pound sterling is the medium of exchange.
 Sir Edward Bridges, permanent undersecretary of the British Treas ury who made a hurried flight to Washington last week, was said to have convinced the British Cabinet that they must yield on the sterling question or abandon the entire loan project.
 A British United Press dispatch from Washington predicted that Congress will be told that an Anglo American credit agreement alone acn enable the United States to have free trade in the world. Rejection of the agreement would see war time restrictions remain throughout the world.

port given by Chase employees to the wage program of the CIO will serve to convince the company that 1t cannot fool around any longer on the question of entering into genu- inc collective bargaining with the union. Strike action Is not contem- plated by the union unless the con- pany persists in its refusal to nego- tiate on basis of facts and figures.
 Those who work in the field of molding public opinion can make contribution to the preservation of industrial peace by giving the widest possible publicity to the unions de- sire to settle the wage issue by col lective bargaining. with realistic consideration given to the factor of how much the company can afford to increase the wages of its en- ployes.
 'The union is willing to have negotiations conducted in public with representatives of the press in attendance. We want people to be fully informed on developments so they can form honest opinions as to which side is trying to do the right thing.
 ''The union regards the number of votes cast and the high ratio of yes votes as genuinely gratifying. Considering the difficulties faced by many Chase employees, the vote was heavy. Employes stood in line in the cold for as long as 40 minutes to vote. Some in order to get back to work, had to leave the line before their turns came. If voting could have been handled more speedily, many more persons would have cast ballots. However, there is no reason to believe this would have changed the ratio of yes and no votes. The outcome was a true expression Of the sentiment of the workers"
 Half Cast Ballot
 Officials of the Scovill Manufac- turing Company noted today that only half of the workers eligible had cast ballots. No other comment was forthcoming.
 MT. Moriarty stated many workers failed to cast ballots because of the difficulty of getting to the polling places. Many stood in the cold for 10 and Is minutes waiting to get inside to the voting spot, and others were discouraged and went away, it was pointed out.
 FIT. Moriarty called ths Scovill af- firInative vote "a vote of confidence" :n the union.
 A Scovill vote conducted month ago under tfesunion constitution had registered 2,502 to 48 in favor of etrike action.

 The special habeaS papers were approved by Superior Court Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan of Hartford at & request from Napoleon Patry, vice president of the First National Bank 6 Trust Co.,, of New Haven. Browns appearance on the Witness stand will mark the first time in many years that prisoner has appeared to testify in civil action.
 Miss Mccarthy. who holds Sev- eral degrees, including a law de- gree, testified that in her opinion the signature on the check was not Dr. Boardmans but was Browns. She stated the handwriting dis closes hesitation, pressure, and ad- jlstments which are not present in the physicians writing. She point ed out to the jury several alleged pen stops in the signature, which she said were characteristic of forg- cry.
 Tn Chemical Process
 The handwriting expert also testi- fled that withdrawal slip, involved in the transaction, was broWnish gray in color. unlike other with drawal slips used by the Board- mans, and that it appeared to have been subjected to a chemical pro- cess.
 The plaintiffs claim that Brown was given a withdrawal slip for $75 on the Boardman account in the savings bank, that he changed the figure to $5.0O0, obtained check for that amount in Dr. Boardman's name, forged her signature to 1t, and entered the check on his &C., count at the other bank. Recovery Is sought from the bank.

Bull' Hits Union Plan

Washington, Dec. 6 - (UP) = Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr., de- clared today 1t was pure bunk" to claim that he proposed Army-Navy merger would bring greater ef1- ciency to our armed forces.
 Tn his typically colorful language, salted with an occasional damn" the wartime chief of the Third Fleet opposed the singel department of defense advocated by the Army. At best, he said, 1t would mean only confusion slightly organized" and could well invite disaster"
 Halsey denied that the Army's wild cat scheme" had any merit. But even If it did, he said, its way of trying to put it over is un-Amer-' ican, un-democratic and damn dan gerous."
 The Admiral testified at q Sen- ate Military Affairs Committee hearing on pending merger legisla- tion. He said he was testifying as combat commander" who knows what war Is both from command and from operations"
 ITO assume that this strange marriage will bring about greater efficiency Is pure bunk" Halsey shouted. "T'he complex administra- tive problems which would arise from this superficial union might easily mean that We would be there last with the least"

 Rushing to MT. Hansen's side, MT. Kinney assisted him to his feet and hurried him into his own home.
 Tn the back Iii the back. My wife Get my wife," the victim kept nut tering.
 Fastening back to the now rapid y) burning house, the local teacher climbed into the second floor win dow in the rear which at that time was the least endangered area of the house.
 Forced To Leave
 T groped through the rooms that were accessible calling for Ruth" (Mrs. Hansen) but could not find her" MT. Kinney said. Then the floor started to collapse and the flames increased and I was forced back out through the rear window" :" I felt helpless then for the entire house seemed to be 8 mass of flames with no possible way of entering.
 By then other neighbors were hrrying to the scene or standing on their porches dressed in sleeping garb. The explosion had blasted windows in many of these homes, startling and shocking all who had been deep in sleep.
 By this time MT. Kinney had en- circled the house seeking some means of entrance. On again reach ing the rear of the house he en- countered the missing Mrs. Hansen who was then leaning against the garage and bleeding profusely about the face.
 My baby. Get my baby" she cried hysterically.
 Help Mother
 Mr. Kinney at this time was join ed by Henry Holihan of Plank road, decorated veteran of World War IT. Assuring the woman that the baby would be albright" they helped her into the Kinney home.
 Then as the two men rendered first-aid to Mrs. Hansen there, Mrs. Flavia Kinney, wife of the local teacher, rushed into the house and onto the scene carrying the Han sens missing 22-months-old baby Jean.
 The infant had been found by Mrs. Kinney, on the slush-covered bank between the Kinney and Han sen homes. A hysterical but happy reunion between the family mem berS took place.
 Recalls Action
 It was then MT. Hansen, still in an extremely da1ed condition, re- called that he had carried out the baby in his arms when he first called to MT. Kinney just before the explosion occurred. Sometime be- tween the appearance of MT. Kin ney and the explosion MT. Hansen had placed the baby on the bank to try to effect the rescue of his wife and mother-in-law. Weakened and dazed he had stumbled few feet away and fallen where MT. Kinney first found him.
 In the confusion and excitement the baby was not seen laying on the wet ground until Mrs. Kinney had come upon it.
 The parents were taken to the Waterbury Hospital and the baby to St. Mary's Hospital where their conditions are reported good, al- though all are dazed.
 MT. Kinney notified Crosby High School that he would not teach today. The whole morning had now become a nightmare.
 While the writer questioned him, an on-the-spot-insurance man ap- peared to effect an adjustment for a window which was broken by the blast in the Kinney home.
 Forget the adjustment, "the To- cal teacher said brushing of the offer. T can't think in terms of dollars at a time like this"

GEORGIA GOVERNOR Replies
10 NEGRO LEADERS

ATLANTA, Feb. 26. (ANP)-
The position of a group of Negro
leaders on the action of the Georgia
legislature in removing all legal
reference to primary elections from
the new constitution will be placed
before legislative leaders by Gov.
Ellis Arnall, the governor disclosed
in letters sent to members of the
group.
ArnalPs letter was in response
to a telegram sent him by C. L.
Harper, president, Atlanta branch,
NAACP; A. T. Walden, president,
Georgia Association of Negro Dem
ocratic clubs; j. w. Dobbs, presi-
dent, Atlanta Civic and Political
league; and c. A. Scott, general
manager, Atlanta Daily World.
The telegram had urged the gov
ernor to exercise his influence in
the retention of laws protecting the
primary.
Removal OF the laws was inter-
preted as an effort to evade the de-
cision of the United States Supreme
court in the Texas case. South Caro-
lina's then governor Olin Johnston,
called a special session of the legis-
lature last summer to vote removal
of all laws governing primary cleo
tions.

and was told that they were from
the Henry County sheriff's office
and were placing her under arrest.
She charged they drove to seclud
ed spot where, at gunpoint, she was
attacked by six of her captors.
Atty. Gen. Mcqueen issued
formal statement, approved by
Gov. Sparks, which indicated that
the state had exerted every effort
to obtain indictments after the gov
ernor's attention was called to the
case last December and to the fact
that the Henry county grand jury
had heard evidence Oct. 8 but had
declined to return indictments.
The attorney general said his in
vestigators were told that seven
white boys, ranging in age from IA
to 10 years, allegedly figured in the
case. The seventh and youngest
boy he added, was not accused of
attacking the woman. One of the
six, he said, told Investigators the
woman's story was correct. Two
others denied being present and the
others, he declared insisted they
had paid her.
The governors office disclosed
that during the last two months at
least 1000 letters, postcards, tele-
grams and signed petitions had
been received all urging prosecution
of the alleged attackers.
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-02-26

A grand jury which sat especially
to consider the reported attacks
heard the charges at Abbeville, the
official added, and returned no bills
in each of the six cases, despite the
fact that "all findings of the investi-
gators-including an alleged admis-
sion by one of the youths that the
woman's story was accurate-was
presented by an assistant attorney
general"
The alleged attacks occurred the
night of Sept. 3, according to Mrs.
Taylor's story to investigators
working for the attorney generals
office.
Her story to the investigators,
and to both grand juries, was that
she was halted by several white
youths soon after leaving a church

ADVISES NEGROES TO
ACCEPT SEGREGATION
FOR ADVANCES

CHICAGO, Feb. 70 (ANP).-l
Negroes should accept segrega-
tion in the south in order to make
other needed advances" insists
John Temple Graves, noted white
liberal editor of the Birmingham
Age-Herald, writing in a round ta-
BILE on the subject, "Should Negroes
Accept Segregation in the South?"
in the March issue of Negro Digest.
Graves declares, fright or
wrong, segregation is not going to
be abolished in hte South nor ap-
parently in many other parts of the
country where it EXISTS Informally
but definitely"
Meanwhile, he insists that de-
manding it's abolishment is robbing
the Negro of other advances of
which he cares more and needs
more.
Replying to Graves are Roscoe
Dunjee, editor of the Oklahoma
Black Dispatch and Ira De A. Reid,
editor of Phylon magazine.
Dunjee declares, "We take the
position that segregation is dis
criminatory, that is why sometime
ago we considered it unseemly when
certain Negro leaders rational
lied upon the idea that attempt
should be made to extract or elm
mate discrimination from segrega-
tion. We will, of course, be able to
perform this miracle when rabbits
conquer the principles of birth con-
troll"
Reid states, Negroes should
never except segregation; they
should b externally alert to devils
ing technique and strategies for
getting rid of it. l have yet to see a
legally, racially segregated insti-
tuition that was not discrimina-
tory"
