lor the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association, told Congress
yesterday the Post Office Depart
ment should get its mail transporta-
ton "out of the horse and buggy
age"
Testifying before the Senate Civil
Service Committee. Mr.. Hanson said
publishers are turning to trucks and
buses for delivery of newspapers
because the department fails to offer
competitive services at competitive
prices.
The committee is considering the
departments recommendation for
an increase of 30 to 100 per cent
in all mail rates except 3-cent letters
and air mail.
Mr.. Hanson said the department
should be looking for ways to in
crease business. 1t has continued

Before the committees first vote,
Representative Doughton, Democrat,
of North Carolina, who was chair
man when the Democrats held con-
troll, moved to delay any tax cut,
remarking that with the dark
clouds now hanging over the world,
we don't know what our commit
ments and expenses will be-"
His motion was beaten on a
strict party-line vote-the 10 Demo-
Gratis for it, the is Republicans
against it.
Then the reduction bill was ap-
proved, with Representative West,
Democrat, of Texas joining the Is
Republicans in favor.
II voted to postpone consider
alton, Mr.. West said. It thought
the sensible thing to do would be
to wait until we get the budget

ponement motion was defeated I
voted to report the bill. It is not
what I wanted, but I favor a re-
duction in taxes"

BidouIt Opposes Speed.
On Provisional Regime

MOSCOW, Mar. % (P.-Foreign
Minister Bidault of France proposed
today a decentralized, loosely fed
Grated government structure for
Germany, but warned that France
opposed rapid establishment of even
a provisional regime. %t
The French minister suggested
that a one-house parliament be
authorized, with it's members to be
chosen by the states. He stressed
delegation of virtually all powers to
the states.
He said the French position was
that any establishment of a provis-
ional government for Germany was
premature" but that his delegation
found the United States Govern
ment proposal for federalized Ger
many interesting He indicated
there were grounds for a conpro-
mise.
Foreign Secretary Bevin of Britain
offered the Council what appeared
to be compromise to the demand
voiced by Mr. Bidault for guaranteed
German coal exports.
Urges Rehabilitation Plan.
The Briton proposed that the
rehabilitation of German industry
shall be effected on a progressive
plan having regard for the neces-
sity of exporting coal to liberated
countries"
Mr.. Bevin continued:
I'm particular, the rate at which
stele production is increased shall
be determined in relation to the
need for coal export. provided that
the burden of the cost on occupying
powers is not increased as result
of this consideration"
The British secretary proposed
that Germany be permitted a steel
ingot capacity of 10000 900 tons an
nually, while also would be the pro-
duction limit figure.
Mr. Bevin also again proposed
economic unity and national pool
ing of all German resources, along
with export-import plans.
Mr.. Bevin advocated sociahzation
of certain industries" as one meth
cd of breaking trusts and for sharing
the complete burden of occupation
costs, past, present and future" !"
among the occupying powers. He

and a friend were planning hold

was made, the men were standing
in park.
Conviction Reversed.
The Appeals Court reversed the
lower court conviction and ruled:
Officers cannot assume that a
person conducting himself in quiet,
peaceful and orderly manner is
guilty of carrying concealed
weapon in violation of the law and
arrest and search him and seize the
revolver found on his person with
out warrant
Police, however, want the right
to arrest men they know are carry
ing deadly weapons before the men
stop being quiet, peaceful and
orderly" and start shooting.
Hearings on the bill to give police
this power of arrest will open Mon
day before a House District subcom-
mittee.

No Encouragement for Reds.
He offered Russia no evidence o1
encouragement in her drive for rep
arations from current production
Moreover, the Russians are not ex-
pected to like his suggestion fol-
sharing occupation costs.
Mr.. Bevin's coal proposal fell short
of a demand by Mr.. Bidault for spe-
cif1c, immediate guarantees of coal
exports, and the writing of such
guarantees into the peace treaty.
However, Mr.. Bevin's plan offered
basis Of further discussion be-
tween Mr. Bevin and Mr.. Bidault on
the coal issue.
In the Deputy Foreign Ministers
session on the Austrian treaty. So
Wet Deputy Feodor T. Gousev
blocked virtually all progress. His
attitude gave rise to speculation
that the Russians might be develop
ing new approach to the Austrian
problem.
Mr.. Gousev's handling of the sit
uation suggested the possibility
either that the Russians were re-
viewing all Austrian treaty issues
or were saving up issues for a final
round of bargaining prior to COM
pletion of the pact.
Bidault Plan Outlined.
The Bidault plan for decentral-
lied Germany was outlined by au-
thoritative sources before the Coun-
Gil convened.
These informants said members
of the unicameral Parliament would
be named by state legislatures fol
terms of four years. under the
French plan, which is at wide vari-
ance with the proposals put forward
for Germany's future by Secretary
of State Marshall and Mr.. Bevin

Gated to the French Foreign Minister

States Would Hold Power.
In the French plan, qualified in
formants said, the states would hold
virtually all the powers. even to
the extent of conducting foreign
relations on matters affecting them
selves If they desired to do so out
side of federal channels.
French sources said the plan en-
visions a head OF the state who
would bear the title of Bundles
President, to be elected from among
the members of the Legislature for
a one-year term. He would be for
hidden to hold the term more than
once in the tenure of the Legislature
-four years.
The President, under this plan,
would appoint cabinet officers for
foreign affairs, economy, finance,
food, transport, post and telegraph
and telephone, and agriculture.

be exercised entirely by the States

Swollen Rivers Flood
New Areas as Britons
Work 10 Repair Banks
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON, Mar. 22.-Swollen rivers
overflowed new sections of Northern
England today as thousands OF
troops and civilian volunteers fought
to seal river bank breaks through
which flood waters were pouring
over farm lands.
The River Don, still rising, spread
over more territory in Yorkshire,
about $50 miles north of London.
In the Fenland, so miles north of
here, the River Ouse and the River
Welland had broken through their
banks.
South of the Fenland city of Ely
in Cambridge, army engineers ar
ranged to float nine huge Neptune
amphibian tanks around a breach
in the Ouse banks.
Three Waves on River.
Near the Fens town OF CroWland
In Lincolnshire, the Welland,
whipped into waves nearly 3 feet
high by a virtual gale, punched
through 40 yards of bank last night
and covered 10000 acres of rich
land while Crowland Abbey's bells
rang a warning.
Elsewhere, however, rivers sub
sided into their courses in many
parts of England, and the Air Min
istry forecast only scattering light
showers after a night free from rain.
The Thames and, in the west, the
Severn were receding. The River
Wye il the west and the River
Trent in the north receded and then
began a slight rise, but many roads
In their valleys were reopened.
Nearly all trains still were running
behind schedule, and some railroad
branch lines had been washed out.
The automobile association reported
yesterday that only two OF the SIX
main roads out of London were clear
throughout their length. Lingering
SHOWS still clogged highways in
Scotland.
Livestock Drowned.
Agriculture in this food-short ma
ton was hardest hit. Winter wheat,
barley. oats, potatoes and stacks
of unthreshed grain were destroyed
in large quantities. Unestimated
numbers of cattle and sheep
drowned.
E. r. Benson, secretary of the
Cambridgeshire branch of the Ma
tional Farmers Union, said at least
eight weeks would be needed to re-
plant growing crops destroyed by
the floods.
The lower yields of cereals will
mean less food supplies for cattle
and poultry, which will mean less
meat, milk and eggs" he said.
British Red Cross headquarters
sent food and equipment to flood
areas. Lord Woolton, the chair
man, refused a cabled offer Of help
from the American Red Cross.

cember, 1910, to say he had come
as private French citizen to keep
the French Fleet and colonies out
of Germany's hands.
A few days later, Mr.. Welles re-
lated, President Roosevelt asked him
to bring Mr. Chautemps to the
White House for an interview and
this was done.
II can attest without equivoca-
ton that the impression received
from all my conversations with Mr..
Chautemps was that he was vio-
lently opposed to any collaboration
by French authorities with the Ger
man regime" Mr. Welles stated to
Mr.. Chautemps' attorney.
Invited to Stay in U. S.
Later, Mr.. Welles recounted,
President Roosevelt invited Mr..
Chautemps to remain in the United
States for the duration of the war.
This was near the end of the sum-
mer of 1941 when the former Pre-
mier-broke all ties with Vichy and
surrendered his diplomatic passport.
The President instructed Mr.. Welles
to return the passport to Mr.. Chau-
temps.
The former Premier next sent a
letter to Mr.. Roosevelt asking the
President to intervene with Vichy
in an attempt to save former Pre-
miers Edouard Daladier and Leon
Blum from imprisonment, Mr..
Welles recounted, adding the Presi-
dent wrote in thanks saying he
would follow this suggestion.
= Throughout this period. according
to Mr.. Welles, Mr.. Chautemps sent
frequent messages to Marshal Petain
through the American diplomatic
services urging Vichy to resist Ger
man demands.
After Pearl Harbor, Mr.. Welles
said Mr.. Chautemps, having been
rejected by Free French movements,
attempted to enlist in the American
Army but was rejected because of
age.
Mr.. Welles said Mr.. Chautemps
never attempted to influence the
American Government against vari-
Gus resistance movements.
When called by The Star at his
home, Ala High street, Chevy Chase,
Mr. Chautemps said he did not
feel he could reveal the contents
of the statement until it was Off
cially before the court"
He said he was not trying to
conceal anything but considered it
a matter of courtesy to the court.
He said that as soon as word was
received that the court had re-
ceived the statement, he would re-
lease the complete text.
His son, he stated, would remain
in France until the trial was over

In the second case yesterday,
Judge Ellen K Raedy sentenced
William H. Bradford, 81, colored, OF
2 S street NV. to serve 80 days or
pay S1G0 fine on deadly weapons

bond for grand jury action on a
charge of attempted robbery.
Bradford pleaded guilty on the
weapons charge.
During the hearing, Cab Driver
Alfonso Dinkins testified Bradford

followed instructions until he
reached a stop signr on a corner
patrolled by police. Then he
jumped out and called an officer
who made the arrest and found a
80 cahhcr revolver on Bradford.
In both cases, even if the police
had known in advance that the
men were carrying weapons, they
could not have obtained convlc-
ton unless they had actually seen
them committing crime or sworn
out warrants for their arrest. They
were able to arrest them in these
cases on the charge of suspicion OF

Stock Market Uneven;
Changes Small in
Quiet Dealings
BY Victor Eubonk
Assoeiotsd Press FinoneicI Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. 22.--Individual
stocks continued to make some
headway, in today's market although
quick profit cashing by professional
traders on the weeks rally restrained
many leaders.
Dealings were slow from the start
of the short session. Early advances
OF fractions to q point or so failed
to hold IN most cases and the direc-
ton was somewhat foggy near the
close. Small fractional variations
either way predominated. Trans
fers for the two hours ran to around
400, 900 shares.
Resistant issues included United
States Steel, Bethlehem. Youngs-
town Sheet, Montgomery Ward, J. I
Case, Eastern Air Lines, TWA, Penn
sylvania- Central Airlines, American
Smelling, Johns -Manville, Air Re-
duction, United States Gypsum
Eastman Kodak and Great Northern
Railway.
Backward were New York Central
Pennsylvania Railroad. Southern
Pacific. American Telephone. Amer
ican Can, General Motors, Good
year, American Water Works and
General Electric. There was mild
furry in the airlines following the
passenger fare INCREASE granted by
the Government, but the majority
eventually reverted to narrow
course.
A little bidding was attributed to
the thought that the recent technical
comeback could be extended. The
Senate's vote on the portal pay issue
was helpful as were revived hopes
for tax reduction. The recent lack
of volume on the upsWing was
viewed as cautionary market argu-
ment. Most commission house cus-
toners still did virtually nothing
pending more light on foreign af-
fairs, business trends and wage
price situations confronting many
industries.
Bonds were steady with rails in
demand.
