Baltimore Man
Leaves $4,000 to
Native ENGLAND
By the Asseciaisd Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 23.-A long
cherished dream of returning to
his native England was never full
filled, but Sam Smith, emigrant
bricklayer, fulfilled another one
in will bequeathing $1,000 to the
British government.
England needs her friends and
help more than ever now" the 81
year-old man told his attorney.
Henry Mann. before he died last
spring. And he specified, "the
money must go to Great Britain.
not the dominions or the colonies"
Mr.. Smith came to this country
more than half a century ago after
a steerage voyage from Liverpool.
He always had wanted to save
enough to retire and return to Eng
land, Mr.. Mann said. About 20
years ago he did retire. but post
poned the trip and by the time he
was ready World War II had begun.
A check for slightly more than
$4,000 has been delivered to the
British Consulate here, which noti-
fled the British Embassy in Wash

False Alarm Costs
Student Fine of
| 500 or 80 Doys

A 21-year-olds American Univer-
sity student, who pulled a fire alarm
box at Wisconsin avenue and Wood
ley road at 1870 am. today, was
given q 500 fine or 80 days in Jail
and a stern lecture by Judge Ar
mond Scott in Municipal Court to-
day.
Il cannot condone this action
despite your plea that you didn't
mean to do It," Judge Scott told
James H. Hawkins. "You caused
three engines, a truck, a rescue
squad and battalion chief to come
tearing to this corner, and I am
told that it cost the District $llO
for every false alarm. I was q boy
once myself, but this goes beyond
being a prank"
Hawkins was arrested by Pvt. E
A. Raymond of No: 6 precinct, who
said he saw the student and two
companions at the box. Hawkins,
who lives at 1854 Park road NV.
said fire boxes in his home town op-
Grated differently and he didn't
realize what he was doing.
He then set about trying to raise

Postage Rule Clarified
For Absentee Ballots
By the Aaocjoted p,s.,


RICHMOND, Va Oct. 23.-An
absentee voter who neglects to send
his local electoral board the % cents
postage required by law to cover
registered mailing of his ballot may
still be entitled, under certain cir
cumstances, to have his vote
counted.
This appeared to be the effect of
ruling yesterday by Attorney Gen.
eral Harvey B. Apperson in answer
to a query from the State Board of
Elections, which, in turn, had been
questioned about the point by Earle
Lutz, executive director for the State
Republican Central Committee.
THE statute provides" Mr.. Ap-
person noted in a letter to Levin
Mock Davis, secretary of the Election
Board, that the application shall
be made to the registrar and shall
contain necessary postage, or the
correct amount in legal tender, nee
essary for registering the ballot
from the Electoral Board to such
applicant. But the failure to in
close necessary postage shall not
render void vote otherwise legally
cast sss
However, = = it was apparently
contemplated that the voter may
receive the ballot even though he
did not inclose the necessary post
age, SO, If the ballot has been sent
to him and is voted by him, 1t should
be counted"

Is Shortage Of Nails

r. Nails are so scarce that building
GAnstruction in the Washington area
Ind throughout the Nation has been
tdelayed and in some cases stopped
altogether.
~ This was revealed today by Frank
Eortright, executive vice president
II the National Association of Home
Blilders. He said manufacturers
Shave reduced the volume of pro-
Auction and spectators have cor
Nered large blocks of nail to take
Them off the market and are hold
ing them for Outrageous prices"
Mr.. Cortright listed scarce build
ing materials as nails, pipe, toilet
bowls, lavatories, rock lath and mill
work. window sashes and other lum-
Der vital to home building.
y, He pointed out that other sections
tof a home can be constructed with
substitutes, but not so with nails.
He said that in January, 77.0W tons
of nails were produced nationally
but this figure had dropped to "a 900
an June, $4,000 in July and $1,000
In August. The September figures
are not yet available.
:, :, Mr.. Cortright DECLARED he suspects
considerable quantities OF nails are
being exported" Some builders here
said the most serious stumbling block
IS the short supply of gypsum lath,
which can be bought in the gray
market" at high prices, which many
refuse to pay.

Senators Score Plan
To Raze Reich Plants
By the As.ar;.,.I px

FRANKFURT, Germany. Oct.
23.-Several touring American Sen
ators yesterday strongly criticized
the American and British plan to
dismantle 682 German factories for
reparations.
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire said the entire dis
mantling program should be halted,
at least temporarily, for a "resur-
vey."
1T is crazy to shovel out hun
dreds of millions of dollars to feed
Germany and at the same time take
away the plants with which the Ger
mans could produce and thus lower
our occupation COSTS" said Senator
Bridges, chairman of q Senate ap-
preparations group.
Senator Brooks, Republican, OF
Illinois, said "it doesn't make sense
We, by acceding to Russias de-
mands, helped take away Germany's S
biggest food producing area and now
we have decided to destroy much OF
Germany's productive capacity"
Senators Saltonstall, Republican
of Massachusetts, and Gordon, Re-
publican, of Oregon expressed gen.
eral agreement with both. Not one
of the nine Senators present at the
news conference took issue with
Senator Bridges and Senator Brooks.
ESSEN, Germany. Oct. % (P.-
Sixty steel workers at Velbert struck
yesterday in protest against the dis
mantling of factory under the
British and American reparations
program. 1t was the first stoppage
reported in the British occupied
Ruhr since the announcement that

mantling in the British and Ameri-

actress, as two who seem to disrupt
things"
His much-discussed appearance ir
Song of Russia" was injected into
the questioning when he was asked
if he had ever appeared in a picture
which he considered Communist
propaganda.
He responded that he objected
strenuously" to appearing in Song
of Russia" He said he thought it
contained Communist propaganda,
although some of his friends didn t
agree with him. He said he objected
to the original script and was as
sured the propaganda would be
eliminated A great many things"
were eliminated, he added.
DO you know if the picture was
made at the suggestion of Govern
ment representative" Mr.. Strip
ling asked the actor.
NO I don't think So Mr.. Taylor
answered. Il think the script was
prepared before the Government
became involved"
Picture Discussed Briefly.
He told the committee he met
Lowell Mellett one day in the Office
Of Louis B. Mayer, head of M-G-M.
Mr.. Mellett, now Star columnist,
was then chief of the Bureau of
Motion Pictures OF the ONCE OF War
Information.
The picture, he said, was discussed
briefly, and he gathered that the
Government was interested in that
film. as we'll as other pictures being
made to strengthen the feeling of
the American people toward their
Soviet ally.
Then Mr.. Taylor added:
If I ever gave the impression that
I was forced into making Song of
Russia I'd like to say in my own de-
tense and in case I would look silly
that I wasn't forced because an actor
can't be forced to make any picture.
I objected but made the picture" !"
Mr.. Rushmore described himr
self as a former movie critic for
the Daily Worker who parted COM
pany with the Communists because
he refused to pan" movies as much
as they wanted them attacked;
! While be was on the Daily Work

Mr.. Lawson, the witness added,
