FIRST TROOPS REACH
MANILA DIRECT FROM
EUROPEAN THEATRES
MANILA, WEDNESDAY, July i

MANILA, WEDNESDAY, July 18
|-(P)-More than 1900 American
veterans from Europe - first serv-
ice troops sent directly from the
European theather to the Pacific
were in their new camp 80 miles
south of Manila today.
The 4,275 vets of Africa, Sicily
and Italy landed on muddy dock
at dawn Tuesday, welcomed by two
bands. These troops represented
nearly all service brances of the
Fifth Army. They comprised four
companies of white soldiers the
remainder negroes.
1t. Gen. W. D. Styer, command
er of army forces of the Western
Pacific, said this first direct re-
deployment from Europe was
carried out in good shape and the
morale of the men sis very good.
He added he expected another
transport later in the month land
thereafter we plan regular arrivals
direct from Europe"

PASSENGER CARS
POOLED FOR ARMY

WASHINGTON, July 17-R-The
armed forces today got first cal
on virtually all of the nations rail-
way passenger cars.
The Office of Defense Transpor'
tation has placed all passenger
coaches, baggage and express cars
in a big pool to be available or
demand for the use of the armed
services.
The action does not automatically
curtail service available to CT
villains, but sets up the mechanics
for making more passenger equip
ment available for use in the re-
deployment of troops from Europe
to the Pacific. And in the end the
agency emphasized, there will be
less equipment for civilian use.
The order, which affects more
than 10000 cars of various kinds,
provides that they be used for such
purposes as the ODT may direct.
This means that the agency may
order any car affected by the order
into any service. And as the I'M
pact of redeployment increases,
ODT said, it probably will become
necessary at times to cancel reg
ularly scheduled passenger trains.
However, Vice President c. H.
Buford of the Association of Amer
lean Railroads said IAN effort will
be made to select equipment in
a way that will avoid the need
for disseminating regular trains out
right"
''This order,'' said Buford in a
statement, makes it mandatory
for the railroads to do the things
they have been doing on volun-
tary basis and that is, furnish
equipment for the movement of
military personnel in preference
to civilian business.
present plans contemplate
large increase in military move
ments which will call for the use
of passenger equipment In excess
of any previous demands and the
needed equipment will have to be
withdrawn from civilian service
from time to time.
''It is hoped that ways can be
found to meet the military needs
without unduly Gripping any par
ticular area
ODT said in it's announcement,
. travel will become more uncom-
Portable than ever before"
Director ]. Monroe Johnson again
appealed to the public to avoid all
unnecessary rail trips, and predict

Official Circles Hold
Little Credence In
Wild Reports

LONDON, July H. WH Per
sistent but wholly unconfirmed re-
ports circulated in the London
Stock Exchange today that Soviet
Premier Josef Stain had received
a Japanese peace offer for submis-
sion to the Big Three meeting at
Potsdam. Germany.
Although reports of peace feel
ers have been discredited in Al
lied official quarters and Tokyo
repeatedly had denied that any
have been projected, most Far
Eastern observers in London now
are debating how, rather than
when, Japan will surrender. Their
talk centers around what Japan
will accept and whether japanese
leaders would be able to command
general surrender if they should
decide upon it.
It is unanimously agreed, how
ever, that there is little likelihood
of a Japanese surrender immedia-
tely snort of one development
Russia's entry into the war. If this
should happen, it considered hard
ly possible that the Far Eastern
war could last long. Undoubtedly.
Russia would, be able to engage
and defeat the Manchurian and
Korean armies.
At one stroke, Japanese indus
trial potentials in these areas
would receive death blow. But
if Russia does not align directly
with the Allies against Japan, the
might well drag on for a
long time.

J. Sikora, 80, Wright Aeronautl'

his death today from his room
on the goth floor of a hotel on Chi
cago's Loop.
(Curtiss Wright officials in New
York said late today there was

expressed earlier that enemy
agents may have been involved
in Sikora's death. A statement by
the company, made after further
investigation, said SikSra was in

to have occurred accidentally

BELGIUM AGAINST
LEOPOLD RETURN

BRUSSELS, July II -(P)- The
Belgian Chamber of Deputies vot'
ed overwhelmingly today to con-
tinue the Regency under Prince
Charles and to prevent King Leo
pold III from re-assumlng the
throne without parliamentary con-
sent.
The vote was SO to six, with
80 members abstaining. The bill,
introduced by Premier Achllle Van
Acke~, now goes to the Senate for
action, probably tomorrow.
The chamber gave Van Acker's
measure speedy approval after he
criticized Leopold's arguments
against abdication declarations
which the Prime Minister said
were reminiscent of those employ
ed by Belgium's pre-war Fascists.
Leopold, in a letter sent from
St. Wolfgang, Austria, to his BROTH
er, Prince Charles, declared he
was ready to bow to the will OF
the people, but wished that their
decision be determined in gen.
eral election.
Criticizing the parliament, three"
fifths of whose members favor -
abdication, Leopold attacked what
he called "a lack of coordination
between Parliament and the ma
ton, which does not permit me
to know the exact situation"
Van Acker, reading the letter to
noisy assembly Of deputies as
serted that 1.-The government con-
siders that the distinction made
between parliament and the nation
recalls sorrowfully the opposition
created by certain groups" before
the war.
Leopold said Parliament mem.
bers opposing his return were act
ing contrary to the wishes Of q
majority Of Belgians.

The list of those injured in Falls,
sliding down ropes or suffering
from burns was expected to ex-

the fire broke out no loss OF life
had been reported.
Tonight the Harmonic lay,
smoking hulk, her superstructure

The flames RACED 1000 feet OF
two story Canadian National Rail

IL loaded and 81 empty freight
cars.
George Andrew, harbor master

Harmonic had docked this morning
to take on cargo estimated tota
damage from the fire would reach
$2,000,0oO
The 5,265-ton Harmonic, 800 feet
long and one of the larger Great
Lakes passenger - freight ships
operated by the Canada Steam
ship Lines left Windsor, Ont, and
Detroit last night enroute to Duluth
MINI. Aboard were 220 passengers
and 100 crew members, with 80
to IS more passengers scheduled
to board her here this afternoon.
Shortly after the Harmonic dock
ed at Point Edward, while loading
operations were under way, an ex
ploison occurred in a gasoline en-.
CINE on the dock. Flames "spreao

foreman said, shooting to the roof
of the sheds and then leaping to
the Hamonic's upper deck.
Aboard the Harmonic, Capt.
Horace Beaton, in command OF
the 81 year old craft, ordere5
mooring lines severed and the lin
er backed downstream about 100
yards. Staying on the bridge with
flames ]eaping about him, Capt.
Beaton rammed the Harmonic into
the river bank.
The liners whistle shrieked a
fire alarm and her crew directed
passengers to remain aboard until
the craft was beached. BY the time
the vacationists were driven by
flames and smoke to jump over
board or slide down ropes and
cables, the Harmonic was close to
shore.
Some instances of panic were
reported. Frederick Moede OF
Wyandotte, Mich, said he start
ed his wife down a cable, but as
he followed, two women leaped on
his shoulders and all three fell into
the water.

u. S. WILL PROBE
STORY RE HITLER

WASHINGTON, July IL H -
The State Department is going to
check up on a report that Adolf
Hitler and Eva Braun are hiding
out in Argentina.
It directed the U. S. Embassy
in Buenos Aires to follow up a
Chicago Times story from Monte
video which said Hitler and his
alleged wife have found haven in
Patagonia.
Argentina has assured other AL
lied governments that it would not
harbor Axis war criminals.
The Chicago Times story was
from correspondent Vincent Depas-
cal. He said he was virtually GER
tain that Hitler and the woman
he is supposed to have married IN
Berlin's last days "are on an i'm
mense, German-owned estate in
Patagonia.
t"The pair repeatedly landed on
a lonely shore from German sub
marine which supposedly returned
to surrender to the Allies" De-
pascal wrote.
Other stores have had Hitler put
to death on his own orders. Some
Germans claimed to have seen his
and Eva Braun's burning bodies
in Berlin. Allied sources have not
agreed definitely on what happened
IN them.

TEACHERS OF STATE
TO GET $40 MONTH
INCREASE In PAY

RALEIGH, July 17-P)-Assist-
ant Budget Director R. G. Deyton
said tonight that the huge revenues
collected by the state during the
fiscal year which ended June 80
had left surplus in the general
fund sufficient to pay all state
employees and school teachers an
emergency salary of $40 mon h.
The emergency salary, in We
form of a bonus, was authorized
on contingent basis by the 1915
General Assembly and hinged only
on whether enough surplus funds
were left in the general fund at
the end of the fiscal year to pay
it. Deyten estimated the emer-
gency salary would cost the state
$4,2oo.ooo.
The salaries will be paid month
]y, beginning with the current
month, 10 all full-time teacheiS
and state. employees who earn 3d.
600 a year or less.
