By the Associated Press.

LONDON. Aug. 2o.-Win-
throp w. Aldrich, chairman of
the Chase National Bank of
New York, said today that with
the end of lease-lend "the
United States must stand ready
to grant England the immedi-
ate financial aid she needs to
effect the transition from war
to peace"
Mr.. Aldrich, speaking before
the American Chamber of
Commerce in London, departed
from his prepared address urg-
ing free enterprise rather than
state controls and inferentially
disagreeing with the policies of
Britain's new Labor govern
ment, to say that Britain also
must be helped to re-establish
her export busines and that
something must be done finan-
cially to help stabilize the
pound-dollar relationship"

military was scheduled to use about
LOCO, 900 900 feet of lumber directly.
One Government expert trans
lated the billion board feet into
$3.50 900 900 worth of private hous-
ing, or about 100000 housing units.
This was based, he said, on the fact
that for every 81 900 900 spent on pri-
vate housing this year, about 2,2O0,-
600 feet of lumber was used.
War Production Board officials
estimate that until the war ended
direct and indirect military use of
lumber this year was to have been
about 22,500, 100000 board feet, or
rs per cent of all lumber available
in the United States.

Professor of Biology

Professor of Biology will not bring an end to his mani- fold activities.
 Internationally Known
 Dr. Schneider was Ayres professor of biology at Wesleyan from 1919 to 1942 and university professor l942-45, and his medical research in aviation has made him known througotIt the world but he is also known for the profound influence he has had on the lives of thousands of students.
 This influence has been in evil dence throughout Dr. Schneider's life but actual instances seldom came to light. One such instance was, however, revealed recently by a speaker at an alumni dinner. The way it was told it was like this:
 D.. Schneider was born in Wap- ello, Ia., on August 21, 1874. He received his B. S. degree at Tabor College, Ia., and then studied at Yale university, where he was awarded his Ph. D. in 1901. After serving Tabor College as professor of Mology and physiological chem istry for two years he joined the fact,ity of Colorado College as pro- lessor If biology in 1903, becoming head professor in 1907, in which ca pacity he served until 1919.
 It was during these years ct Colorado college that Q young stu dent failed ito make the grade" In fact his record was so poor that the members of the faculty were nearly unanimous in their determin- iation to drop him from the college rolls. The lone dissenter was Dr. Schneider. He saw something in that boy not visible to the other faculty members He pleaded that the student be allowed to continue his studies and after a long dis cussion won his point.
 Becomes World Figure
 The story doesn't reveal how much special help that student re- ceived from Dr. Schneider follow ing his scholastic reprieve, but it was a fact that it was this student. grown to maturity, who discovered the way to synthesize a prepara- tion which is now keeping alive scores of thousands of sufferers from blood deficiency. These thousands might now be dead had Dr. Schneider not made it pos- sible for this man to continue his studies.
 It was also during his years at Colorado college that Prof. Schnei- der became interested in the phys

AUTO INSPECTIONS
 NOW TOTAL 4,7OO
C Commissioner WatsOn's Initial Report on Cur-
 rent Check=Up

Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, Elmer s. Watson, announces that as a result of the activities of the motor vehicle inspectors who have been "spot checking" motor vehicl- es operating at various locations in the state, some 4,70O vehicles have been inspected for lights, brakes, steering, tires, windshield, ref1ectors, muffler, horn, mirror, hazardous body damage, direction signals and for violations connected with the registration, operators license and operation of the vehicles.
 The results reveal in actual sta- tistics what many motor vehicle operators know from observation that there are many vehicles op- perating on our highways that are in an extremely hazardous mechan- ical condition and that many others, while not in the extremely hazardous class, are in such condi- tion that an accident may happen at any time with the mechanical condition of the vehicle as either a primary or a contributing cause of such accident.
 Commissioner Watson states that the results of these inspections show that every 38th car has dan- gerously defective brakes; every 34th car has defective tire or tires which may blow out at any moment without warning; and that every 3rd car has defective lights, more, than one-third of which are defective headlights; and that every 40th car has dangerously defective steering mechanism.
 Difficulties experienced in hay ing repairs made because of short age of manpower and repair parts do not explain this apparent indif- ference on the part of the motor vehicle owner. It Is the duty of every motorist to keep his car in reasonably good mechanical condi- tion. In the words of President Truman, "Upon every man and woman who drives an automobile rests the responsibility of helping to avert this danger. Each can do his part by driving safely and by keeping his car in good operating condition.'
 By keeping his car in safe oper- ating condition and by driving it with the utmost care, every mo- torist can help in relieving our serious transportation problem and thereby aid further in the whole war effort"
