Omaha Asks Astaire
Not To Quit Films

HOLLYWOOD - At the re-
quest of Mayor Charles Leeman,
Omaha's City Council on Nov.
IL passed a resolution asking
Fred Astaire, Omaha's No. l
citizen, to reconsider his retire
ment from the screen. Mayor
Leeman explained to the Council
that Astaire had hung up his
dancing shoes on completion of
the Pr mount film Blue
Skies" and in view of the fact
the King of Dance is a native
of Omaha, it would be fitting
for the citizens of this city to
start a movement asking him
not to quit. The resolution was
adopted unanimously by the six
Councilmen.
Kickoff for the petition to AS
taire was held in the lobby of
the Paramount Theatre and will
continue for several weeks. More
than a thousand names were
signed the first day.

By Justice Roberts
BY the Associated Press

Owen ]. Roberts, retired Supreme
Court justice, testified today the
$3.50, 100000 British loan is neces-
sary "to get the shackles off world
trade" and to aid world peace.
There is so much short-sighted
talk in this country" Justice
Roberts said. People are saying !

slams, I hate the French. don't be-
lieve they really mean it,"
Justice Roberts, now a resident of
Philadelphia, appeared before the
House Banking Committee "as a cit
lzen" to indorse the British loan bill.
Il have no ak to grind" he said.
II paid my own fare down here. To
me personally this loan probably
will not mean much, but to my coun-
try 1t means great deal"
He contended the loan is essen
tlal to the success of world eco
nomic and political cooperation.

sentative Tale, Republican, of Iowa

BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 3l.-The United
Nations Economic and Social Coun-
Gu took up the report of Mrs
Eleanor Roosevelts Commission on
Human Rights today and the Rus
sian Delegate Immediately objected
to emphasis given freedom of in
formation.
The commission report called for
setting up a subcommission of IL
members to study the free flow of
information.
Nikolai J. Feonov, Soviet repre-
sentative, said it appeared that
discrimination against minorities''
and other questions were considered
less important than freedom of the
press" @&AA.
Mr.. Feonov then brought up the
controversial question of putting
representatives of nations or in
dividual experts on the various COM
missions. He reiterated the stand
taken by Russians that all the mem
bers should directly represent their
own governments.
Cites Rites In Soviet.
He cited rights granted to cities of
Russia under the Soviet constitution
and declared:
Il am happy to tell the Council
That the country I represent here
not only mentions human rights in
its constitution, but it actually fol-
lows through. Human rights are
guaranteed by law"
He added that the citizens of the
U. S. S. R. have all the basic free
doms"
Fernand de House, Belgian dele
gate, said convention should be
adopted making it compulsory for
all member nations to publish news
supplied by the United Nations.
He declared the question of the
press was an important one for the
U. NJ, and said that the press in
some instances had distorted news
OF the League of Nations.
Pedro Leao Velloso, Brazilian
member of the Security Council
Subcommittee Investigating Franco
Spain, said that group would finish
Its report today. This was the
deadline set by the Council when
the subcommittee was named. a
month ago.
Mr.. VelloSo said the report would
include a summary of evidence COL
lected and brief analysis of the
case which would set forth opinions
of the five members. He added that
no specific recommendations would
be made to the Security Council.
The French, meanwhile, indirectly
answered a protest by Siam to
T,rygve Lie, United Nations secre-
tary general, against "unjustifed
aggression" by French forces from
Indo- China. The Siamese message
to Mr.. Lie has been circulated to Sc
eurity Council delegates without re-
suit thus far.
French Reply to Siamese.
The French high commission in
Saigon, do-China, declared off,
cially that French forces entered
Slamese territory recently in pur-
suit OF "Annamite and Laotien reb-
els who raided French Indo-China.
The commission said these were
the incidents that seem to be the
basis for the campaign carried out
by the Siamese authorities to stir
up world public opinion
An agreement under which the
international Labor Office, oldest

strikes" his report said.
The actual achievements of April
made pleasanter reading. In sum-
mary, they show these gains in con-
sumer goods production:
Washing machines - Shipments
shot upward to 177,000, a 81 per
cent gain over March and II per
cent above prewar output.
Refrigerators-143, 900 produced, a
new high since VI day and "a per
cent over March.
Vacuum cleaners - 174,000 pro-
duced, per cent over March and
one-month record.
Sewing machines-28,0 900 made, nc
change from March and only 43 per
cent of the prewar rate.
Auto Output May Drop.
Electric ranges . $4,000 shipped
from factories, about the same as
March, only 40 per cent of prewar
production.
Electric irons - 1872 900 made in
March, slightly better than the pre-
war rate. No report yet on April.
Radio sets-About 100000 pro-
duced, roughly the same as March
and within 10 per cent of the pre-
war rate.
Automobiles - Production scared
81 per cent to total of $50, 1000 cars.
Truck output at $1,000 was double
the March total. However, CPA said
in view of the coal strike ut is
doubtful whether May production of
either automobiles or trucks will
equal April output"
Tires-Passenger and motorcycle
tires climbed per cent to $500, 900.
Truck and bus tires were the same
as in March, about 100000.
