HHICpfA,WANTs VOICE IN
ITALIAN PEACE SETTLEMENT

(ANR9\The government OF Eth
opa canhe expected to ask that it
be allowed toparticipate in the dis
cussions on peace settlement for
Italy when the Council of Foreign
Ministers convenes in London in
September, it is learned here on
high authority.
Without doubt, the Potsdam
communique covering the Big
Three talks, in the minds of diplo-
matte observers, clearly leaves the
door open for such participation but
these same quarters have retained a
mental reservation as to why Ethi-
opa, like France, is not to be allowed
to sign the document.
The text of the agreement estab-
fishing the Council of Foreign
Ministers cuts out the work of the
council and allows it the following
latitude:
"For the purpose of the peace set
tlement for Italy, France shall be
regarded as signatory to the terms
of surrender for Italy. Other mem
bers will be invited to participate
when matters directly concerning
them are under discussion. =
Interpretation being given to this
section is that France is being ex-
tended this consideration because
Of it's own conflict with Italy. By
the same token, it is being argued,
Ethiopia which suffered at the
hands of the Italians, should also
be given the opportunity to influ-
ence the decisions reached and be
permitted to sign the document.
The obstruction generally consid-
cred in the way is that clear-cut
determination as to whether the
Italo-Ethiopian war, which began
in 1896, is part of World War II,
which began in September, 1889,
has never been made. 1t is pointed
out on the one hand that for the
purposes of adjudging war crimi-
mails, the War Criminals commits

arated the two wars thereby ex-
Guiding certain Italians whom the
Ethiopian government had pro-
posed for trial.
On the other hand, both at the
international aviation conference
in Chicago last year and later at
the San Francisco conference the
majority of delegates are believed
to have felt that the wars were a
part of each other. While there is
no clarity even in the American po-
sition, Adolph A. Berlo, president
of the international aviation con-
ference and at the time assistant
secretary of state, expressed the
view that the wars were one and
the same.
Certainly Ethiopia is going to

milton of its claims against Italy,

SOVIET SPEARHEADS

LONDON, April 13 Russian troops are moving on the Czecho- slovak city of Bruenn, 68 miles north of Vienna, after cutting the last lifeline between the two cities, in attacks which doomed the re- maining Nazi forces in the capital city. Moscow reports said.
 Soviet spearheads have thrust to within B miles of Bruenn, in the invasion over the southern Mo- ravian border. Inside Vienna, fall of which is expected hourly, bitter house-to-house fighting goes on, as Marshal Tolbukhin's Army yester- day seized 60 blocks in the Jewish quarter of Leopoldstadt.
 Between the Danube and the Danube Canal, the Nazis have con- centrated their Vienna forces for a final stand on small strip of land between the two waterways. One thin escape gap now remains to the Germans, along the rail- road running northwest from the city, but Moscow said this too is under heavy Russian artillery fire.
 Berlin reported general Nazi withdrawal west of Vienna along the Danube Valley in the direction of Hitler's Bavarian mountain fort ress of Berchtesgaden.

 band 5 Close Guide

WASHINGTON, April 13 = Quiet, retiring Bess Wallace Truman took over the prodigious job of being the First Lady of the land from active Eleanor Roosevelt, who has became an ordinary citizen again.
 The new Presidents wife has been her husbands adviser -aide throughout the rise of the Kansas City haberdasher from local offices to the Senate, ice-Presidency and now to the chief office of the na- tion, and in recent years, the new President entrusted much of his secretarial work to his wife.
 The much-traveled Mrs. Roose- welt, who has been the most active Presidents wife i'll United States history, was great influence in her husbands life.
 No less, perhaps, though less in the forefront, may be the influ- ence of the new mistress of the Whitehouse. Some years ago, Presi- dent Truman, then a Senator. made her position clear, when under po- litical fire he was criticized for employing his wife as a Senate clerk on public funds, saying, T need her there, that's the reason I've got her there, I never make a report or deliver speech without her editing it.'

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, April 13.- Franklin D. Roosevelt was struck down as the result of cerebral hemorrhage when he was making plans in hopes that future wars would be prevented at the success ful conclusion of the present world wide conflict.

 Senator Barkley said he then re- marked that the President looked thin, and Mrs. Roosevelt said she also thought he looked too thin.
 The President had been taking only gruel for several days.
 At Warm Springs, Commander Howard Bruebb, Naval Physician, said the President was in excellent spirits when he saw him at 9:30 yes terday morning, and again at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Roosevelt was then sitting in a chair while sketches were being made for him by an architect.
 Suddenly, Roosevelt complained of a very severe occipital headache at the back of the head, and within a few minutes he lost consciousness and did not regain consciousness be- fore the end. He passed on in the bedroom of his little white bungalow atop of Pine Mountain, where he had been coming for 20 years.
 The President and his party went to Warm Springs on March 30 in- tending to remain there and rest for at least three weeks.

Here in Juneau Gov. Ernest Gruen- ing said he believed it would be appropriate and responsive to the feelings of our people if memorial services for President Roosevelt were held in the churches throughout the Territory on Sunday"
 The Governor did not ask that business activities cease tomorrow, but stated: While our flags should remain at half-staff for 30 days, it would seem to me inappropriate to suspend any normal activity during the work-day week. We are at war. There is no cessation of conflict and sacrifices on land, on sea, or in the air. Our men are not pausing in their march to Berlin and north ward on Okinawa on the route to Tokyo"

 That was because his parents didn't want to play fayorites be- tween his two grandfathers, he ex- plained. The first name of one grandfather was Solomon, of the other, Shippe. So the parents com promised on the initial.
 Truman failed to accomplish one of his most earnest desires to acquire a college education. About the time he should have entered college his father, known .as the 'best horse trader in the county" suffered financial reverses. Young Truman received an appointment to the U. s. Military Academy, but failed the physical examination be- cause of weak eyes.

LEAN MEAT AND FAT

For many years, since the days of Jack
Spratt and his wife, human beings have di-
vided themselves into those who prefer
lean meat and those who prefer fat
Consequently an amazing amount of
energy has been required to separate the
two types of meat. This will be avoided in
the futare, we understand, by an applica-
tion of electronics.
tseems that an inventor has patented
a method to separate lean meat from fat
tissue bysa knife which is guided by photo
electric cell and automatically follows the
division in color between the meat
Now, ii some statistcian will caIcu-
late the time lost by the average individual
IN eliminating fat or lean, it will be posi-
bic for US to appraise this boon to man
kind.
