governor deserted the conference
early. The Russian governor never
appeared.
The American governor said he
would talk if authorized by his supe-

told their story to reporters, the

fare. The rest of the time the former
high Nazi brass will sit in their soli-

Lincoln Papers
Historical Gold Mine

Libraries throughout the country
eagerly awaited microflm copies of
the White House papers of Abraham
Lincoln, barred to the public for the
first time July 26 at the Library of
Congress in Washington.
The papers were collected by Rob-
ert Todd Lincoln from his fathers
desk in the Executive mansion imme-
diately after the assassination of the
Civil War President.
The son decided them to the Library
of Congress in 1923, stipulating that
they be withheld from public or pri-
viate inspection until 81 years after
his death. Robert T. Lincoln died
July 26, 1926.
The younger Lincoln imposed Sc
crecy because, he said, his fathers
papers contained references to ances-
tors of persons then living which
should not then be made public.
John Hay and John C. Nicolay, Sec
retaries of President Lincoln, used the
papers in preparing their 10-volume
biography of Lincoln, and their man.
useripts were carefully edited by Lin
coins on. 1t is believed controversial
matters were deleted.
The collection contains from $4,000
to 10000 documents. It's size is indi-
Gated by the fact that a single copy
of the microfilm extends 10000 feet
or nearly two miles.

CECRETARY of Commerce
~ Averill Hartman, back from
a tour of Germany, France, Eng
land and Italy, said the Marshall
program Of aid for Europe would
require prompt action by Con-
gress early next year if it becomes
effective.
Everywhere I went" he said, "the
Marshall proposal was the first thing
to give real hope to every nation that
it could get back on its feet"
Hartman said that if the program
could be worked out" he was con-
WINGED Europe's problems are solva-
BILE. He explained that "the working
OUT means agreement by European
nations to help themselves before
coming to this country for aid. He
described the Marshall plan as a
"grub-staking proposition"
The key to revival of European in
dustry, he said, was greater coal pro-
duction in the Ruhr and elsewhere.
More food is the first need of German
miners to increase their output, Har-
riman said, after that, machinery.
British mines could be made more
productive by greater use of machin-
cry and opening of new coal veins, he
thought.
French Are Perturbed
Meanwhile France sought American
and British assurance that Germany's
industrial level would not be raised
so high that she would again become
a menace to world peace.
The French ambassador in WASH
ington, Henri Bonnet, declared that
France favored booming coal produc-
ton in the Ruhr but not for using it
in Germany to make German steel.
That road, he said, has led repeatedly
to war, not only against France, but
every other nation.

SLAYER
'One of the Family

A federal jury in San Diego, Calf,
convicted Mrs. Alfred Wesley Ingalls,,
81, of enslaving her Negro maid, Dora
Jones. It was the first outright slavery
case under the 18th Amendment to
the Constitution since 1880.
Boston-born Mrs. Ingalls,, a descend
ant of colonial Governor Bradford of
Massachusetts,, admitted that Dora
was never paid, except for n year
since 1907, but maintained that she
had been provided for I'm other ways.
Dora was not a servant but zone of the
family" Mrs. ingalls, explained.
The maid testified, however, that
she had been threatened with Jail for
nearly 40 years because of an affair
with Mrs. Ingalls, first husband.
They first met in Athens, Ala, when
Mrs. ingalls, was a missionary school
teacher and Dora was a pupil of IS.
The case broke five months ago
when the ingalls, 2~7-year-old married
daughter called on Berkeley, Calf,
police to "free" Dora. Mrs. ingalls, had
two daughters, by her first and
n by her second husband. Both tes-
tilted against their mother.
Mrs. ingalls,, born on Boston's aris-
tocratic Beacon Hill, will be sentenced
Tuesday as a SLAYER. She faces a max
imum prison term of five years, a
$4,000 fine, or both.
Dora Jones, now So. was not there
for the verdict. She went to st. Louis
to live with a brother, saying she
v wanted to see the ingalls, again.

'Everytime Somebody Sneezes 80
The Big Four in Germany, I'M
able to agree on how to rule the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Reich, are in
dispute about yer matters of rou-
tine policy. Witness the transfer last
week from Nuremberg to Berlin of
the surviving big Seven" of Hitler's
hierarchy.
Since last October when the seven
Nazis were sentenced at Nuremberg
there was disagreement about how
and where they should serve out
their terms. Spandau Prison in the
British sector of Berlin finally was
agreed upon; the big gloomy, red
brick prison was stated by four
governors and guards divided equally
among the four occupying powers.
Then an argument broke out yer
strictness of the prison regime, with
the British arguing for "humane"
treatment and the Russians demand
ing Spartan measures. It finally was
agreed that the seven should serve
their terms under the German prison
code.
Correspondents, eager for details
of the return of the big Seven" to
the capital where they once had
strutted, rushed to Spandau to find
American, British, French and Rus
sian officials arguing.
Just Bare Facts
The Russians wanted nothing told
except the bare fact that the seven
had arrived-not even their names.
The others wanted to be more liberal
with details. The Russians won. A
o~ne-sentence communique was issued.
Inside the gates, where the prison.
ers were stripped, searched and
bathed, another argument broke out.
French guards found American CT
gars and cigarettes in the prisoners
baggage. They had been issued as
regular prisoner of war rations.
Said n Frenchman: eve never
get any decent imported tobacco.
Why should these Nazis have it?"
The Russians supported the French.
Americans conceded that the Nazis
probably had seen the last of their
tobacco rations.

The President warned, however,
that the economic situation was sus-
tanned by pent-up wartime consumer
demand, by heavy use of savings and
credit, and by a huge excess of ex-
ports over imports.
These are temporary props, he said,
and as they weaken there must be
basic readjustments to complete the
transition to a stable and high-level
peacetime economy.
Outlook Is Rosy
The tone of the Presidents special

clared:

records of civilian production and are
now producing goods and services at
