Czech Regime Shifts
To Appease U. 5. After
Credit Halt Rumored
BY the Associated Press

PRAGUE, Oct. 19.-Rumors of
possible government changes "to
appease the United States"
spread today in Czechoslovakia,
shaken by suspension. of Amer
lean credits on which it had
counted in a two-year ST 400, ,000,-
900 postwar reconstruction pro-
gram.
A report that the Communist Sec
retary of State for Foreign Affairs,
Vlado Clements, might resign drew
an emphatic denial from a Foreign
Office spokesman yesterday even as
the cabinet deliberated until late
hour.
The State Department announced
in Washington Wednesday that it
had broken off negotiations for a
$50, 100000 Export-Import Bank loan
to Czechoslovakia and stopped the
remaining S40,000,000 Of a S50,000,-
900 credit to buy surplus United
States Army goods.
In explanation the department
said, among other things, that
Czechoslovakia bad agreed to resell
to Romania some S10,000,000 in sur
plus property bought from the
United States.
If the loss of American credits
should hamper the reconstruction
plan, Communist Premier Klement
GottWald and other Leftist states
men would run into growing politi-
cal difficulties.
One reason the United States
might have suspended the loan ne
gotiations, it said, might be that
Czechoslovakia voted with the Slav
bloc against the Americans at the
Peace Conference.
ABOARD THE QUEEN ELIZA
BETH. Oct. 10 .(P).-Czechoslovak
Foreign Minister Jan MaSaryk said
yesterday that his government, after
long investigation, had decided to
pay in full the claims of foreign
investors in Czechoslovakie.
The claims are the consequence
of naturalization of much of Czech
oslovakia's industry.
Means and methods have not
yet been decided" Mr.. Masaryk told
a press conference, adding that pay
ment would be in the currency of
the investors own countries over a
long period.

z Of Windsor S Rings,
Gifts Of Edward VII,
Among Stolen Gems
By the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Oct. 19.-Two rings
given to the Duke of Windsor by
his grandfather, King Edward
VII, were among the jewelry
stolen from the duke and duch-
ess Wednesday night, police dis
closed today as they looked to
France for a break in their hunt
for the burglars.
A gold watch belonging to the
duke also was stolen. The watch
and rings were in the duchess jewel
case, which was discarded by the
thieves on golf course adjoining
the Earl of Dudley's Ednam Lodge.
The value of the Dukes jewelry
was included in the $4,000 estl-
mate of the loss, made yesterday
by London assessors who compiled
list of the stolen articles. The
gems-mostly sapphires, diamonds
and aquamarines belonging to the
Duchess-were taken from her bed
room at the Earls lodge.

known operatives into the financial
districts Hatton Garden, where
sidewalk traders deal in thousands
Of dollars worth of precious stones
every day. Yard men interviewed
dozens of known criminals and
jewel fences"
Ace Operatives Sent to Paris.
Two developments lent weight to
the theory that an international
gang had planned. the haul and the
supposition that the search was be-
ing concentrated In France:
/. There were reports that Scot
land Yard had sent several ace
operatives to Paris to work with the
Surete, French crime detection
headquarters, in the belief the rob-
bers followed the duke and duchess
from France a week ago.
2. No clues have been turned up
in a thorough search of London's
grubby East Side and tony West
Side underworlds.
One Scotland Yard source, how
ever, expressed the opinion that
the gems still were in England un-
less they had been smuggled out
within a few hours after the theft.
British and French airports and
seaports have been under close sur
veillance.

Told Of Brazilian
Food Shortages
Bv Ruth Dean

While North Americans are Wor-
rying about food shortages and the
rising cost of living, Brazilians are
experiencing an even worse situa-
tion with bread and bananas, main
staples of their diet, becoming scarce
items, members of the Petworth
Woman's Club home section were
told yesterday.
Addressing the group, which met
at the home Of Mrs. j. w. Roth
Ait Fourth street NV, Mrs. j. S
Bueno, who lived for 20 years in
Brazil, told fellow members that
since her arrival here two years ago
she has received letters from friends
in Brazil depicting the situation
there, with reports that the cost OF
living has risen 300 per cent.
Mrs. Bueno's husband is Bra
lillian, at present with the Par
American Union here where he is
foreign trade advisor for the South
American republics.
Much of Mrs. Bueno's talk was
an interesting account of Brazilian
cooking customs. She humorously
pointed out some of the Brazilian
reactions to our dietary customs
For example the average Brazilian
is amazed" with the Americans
hearty breakfast, she said, but at
the same time, though he has only
a cup of coffee for breakfast. he
enjoys six additional meals through
out the day.
Until recently the Brazilian
Stunned canned food shortcuts to
cooking, she said, and all meal
preparations were long and elabo-
rate. A usual meal consists of rice
meat, chicken, beans and kale, all
prepared in amounts, which to
Americans, would seem tremendous
When she lived there, Mrs. Bueno
mentioned, she had no servant
problem. as Brazilian families en-
ploy servants who stay with them
from one generation to another
However, according to latest reports
from her friends, she added, serv-
ants are now unionized in the larger
cities, and the new generation are
looking for opportunities above theii
traditional status.
In looking at the whole picture
of change which she has seen ir
her long stay there and since she
has been away, Mrs. Bueno feels
that the younger generation in Bra.
zil is learning to live life in simpler
terms and on a practical scale oi

Warren Criticizes
WaIIace's Scheduled
California Speech
BY the Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Oct. 19.-
The scheduled appearance Of Henry
Wallace in California next week
during the election campaign
brought criticism yesterday from
Republican Gov. Earl Warren and
a rejoinGer from James Roosevelt,
chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee.
Gov. Warren, the nominee for re-
election both of his own party
and of the Democratic, said it was
''presumptuous" of Mr.. Wallace to
undertake to tell Californians
whom we should elect to our State
Offices
Mr.. Roosevelt Immediately tele-
graphed Gov. Warren from Los
Angeles that Mr.. Wallace would
make no recommendations for Cali
fornia Offices in his speeches there
on October "a.
Gov. Warren criticized Mr. Wal
lace's recent record, asked him to
state what candidates had re-
auested his California visit and
announced the Governor intended
to reply to Mr.. Wallace mot as a
partisan but as a Californian"
Mr. Roosevelt telegraphed:
I'VE cordially invite you to be
present and to speak at the lunch
con. am sure that your sense
of fair play and nonpartisanshir
would make you prefer to address
your remarks in Mr.. Wallace's
presence"
Gov. Warren's press release Of
fered Mr.. Wallace series of ques-
tions to answer, one asking Mr.
Wallace would the candidates OF
your own party in Iowa want you
to speak for them under the aus
pices of the PAC or of any of the
other extremist groups with which
you have associated yourself in Cal
ifornia?"
Another asked if any California
candidates agreed to support you
in your fight against the President
of the United States and our repre-
sentatives at the peace conference?'
Another development in the po-
litical picture was the disclosure of
figures showing California registra-
ton for the nonpresidential election
year set a record high of 4,383, 1868,
with 2.541 ,720 listed as Democrats
and 1,637,246 as Republicans. The
remainder were nonpartisans or
members of minor parties.

scriptions are ideal gifts for both
men and women, she said.
November and December meetings
of the Community Service group
will be held the second Friday OF
each month at 10:30 am. at Walsh
House to report progress on the
Christmas gift program.
The Christmas spirit at Walsh
House was reflected in small tree,
decorated with lights, above the
fireplace, and stockings hung in
traditional fashion beneath the
chimney. A table, on which sug-
gested gifts were shown, was
feature of the meeting.
Mrs. Reith announced that cider,
pumpkins, pies, apples and other
gifts are needed for the Halloween
parties that are being planned for
the service hospitals here.

III WOulQ aLSU
seem to prove that Canada has done
a better Job of controlling its appe-
tite and it's prices than has been
done on this side of the border. One
further fact may clinch the proof.
1t is that the two and one-half
pounds of meat per capita per week,
allowed under the rationing system,
is still available in the butcher shops.
If you ask any Canadian who has
had hand in his governments con-
troll of production and prices why
Canada has been relatively more
successful than the United States,
he is apt to take a modest line. He
will remind you that Canada S popu-
lation is much smaller and he4' whole
economy much simpler than that OF
this country.
The people aren't any different, he
will assure you. There hasn't been
a time when those with something
to sell, whether their goods or their
labor, haven't offered earnest argu-
ment for decontrol in their partlc-
ular cases. And the government did
yield in the matter of rationing for
almost a year and half-from the
spring of 1914 to the fall of 1916
although with little increase In
prices, because of the good supply.
More interesting, however, the
government was able to restore ra-
tioning and to do it for the benefit
of people overseas, principally the
British, to whom Canada sends a
third of its total food supply.
1000 Excess Profits Tax.
Another reason given for Canada's
success is the 100 per cent excess
profits tax, which continues in ef-
feet, making the itch for profits less
acute.
Still another is the fact that the
control (and stimulation) of produc-
ton was placed in the same hands
that controlled prices. The interest
ing battles between OPA and WPB
witnessed in Washington had no
counterpart in Ottawa.
And then there is the Canadian
pdIlldlIlC1ltdAy oSopCiiA AiAS WA
trolling agency operates under a
member of the Cabinet, who is a
member of Parliament and whose
every act has the sanction of Parlia-
ment. Government in Canada is not
a running gun battle between the
executives and the legislators. The
Cabinet member must report to
Parliament, must explain and justify
himself to his fellow lawmakers,
but he is not subject to everlasting
investigations" by political oppo-
nents or headline hunting members.
Probably no one thing contributed
more to the breaking down of con-
troll in this country than the ire
sponsible behavior of large part
of Congress. There has always been
some member ready to encourage
squawks, always one ready to de-
mand an investigation, always one
