Coie pa.-gh, once arrested and freed on Selective Service violation charges offered his services to the G'er tr.: n government after jumping a mitral liner in Portugal, he said. The FBI chief said the public had slackened its vigilance toward espionage in the belief that the war is over and warned that the German espionage system still was extremely active. Referring also to \ -ft’ recent finding of Japanese baboons in the western United States and to ‘other matters” which he would not disclose for security reasons,” he said: '•The German government has s very intensified program of I training and sending agents into the Western Hemisphere.” He said that Colepaugh, educat ■ ecj j,j American schools, had adopt ed the alias, William C Caldwell, and that Gimpel also was known as Edward George Green.

SOLON OPPOSES CHANGE IN BILL FOP GJ^ RIGHTS WASHINGTON, Jan. ^ -(IP)—The ■G. I. Bill of Rights” won’t be changed substantially by the new Congress if representative nankin iD.-Hiss.) has his way. Rankin, who wrote much of the bill that is the service man s mag na charta, as chairman of the bouse veterans committee, said in an in terview today be sees no need for major changes in the legislation, enacted last year. Rankin said he regretted to see developing a move to pay return ing soldiers a bonus through the medium of adjusted compensation. Several soldier bonus bills have been written for introduction in 1he house when Congress convenes Wednesday. ‘Tn all the history of the world,” he declared, "there has never been a time when service men have are being cared for now by the United States.” "We adjusted the pay during the war from $30 to $50 monthly,” he explained. “We went much fur ther. We have provided for liberal allo.ments to dependents of serv ice men, we have voted for liberal mustering - out pay. We have pro vided for unemployment compen sation. for government - financed education, and for government loans.” -V BUY WAR BONDS AND STAMPS fflHv . w w .a ~wmm rripl St. John’s Tavern J Uf Orange St. ■USTDial Z-8O80 ■ Ml DELICIOUS FOOD Chicken In The I \ {] Rough — Friday Day Tlirillin r Heart-To-Heart 1 Romance! \B Lana Turner In § ■marriage is a /I PRIVATE AFFAIR” JM Shows: 12:30—2:28—4:38— Last V 1 Day 1/ .t’s The VV si— With A Zest Wide Open with Joy!

(International) BOWLES SAYS OPA FACES HARD TASK BY CHESTER BOWLES Price and Rationing Administrator Written for the United Press Americans know that 1945 will be a tough year. There are scarci ties now and the OPA has already had to tighten its food rationing program to see that everybody gets his fair share. Inflationary pressures against price ceilings and rent ceilings are always great and they will undoubtedly be greater in 1945. The longer the war lasts the hard er it will be to "hold the line." OPA will have a bigger and more difficult job to do this year than ever before. That job won't be easy. Indeed, it seems to me that never since the early days of OPA have we had so many serious problems to handle. They will be less serious, however, if Americans stick to the rules of rationing and play then part to help keep prices down both now and after V-E day. In 1945 we must keep on the ■ job to hold down prices of all es sential commodities and to plan l’or reconversion so that industry will go to work and employ large numbers of Americans and sell goods at prices all of us can afford to pay. With that kind of job ahead of us we need the complete coopera tion of all Americans. -V Future Of Baseball Discussed On Radio Bv Snorts Leaders NEW YORK, .Jan. 1.— UP) —Con tinuation of baseball and boxing on much the same plane as last year and an increased interest in tennis were predicted today by sports leaders in a New Year's day broadcast on the Blue network. Ei'lly South worth, manager of the world champion St. Louis Cardi nals, pointed out that over 5.00C profess:onal baseball players arc in the armed forces, 450 from the Cardinal organization, and that last year it required less than L 200 players to operate 10 major and minor leagues. “We expect to continue with these leagues as long as we have nlayers to function with,” said Southworth. “I conscientiously be lieve that baseball contributes something to the moral of our arm ed forces w'herever they may be and to our citizen population ai home.” ___ THALIAN HALL Saturday Evening 8:30 orANNEHKHOlt Broadway Cast of Favorites Prices: $4.00, $2.50, $1.75 Tax Inc.

Preparing for “increased activity in colonial development after the war,” the British government an nounced today that Sir Frank Stockdale. comptroller of develop ment and welfare in the West In dies and chairman of the British section of the Anglo-American Ca ribbean Commission, had been ap pointed to a newl£ created post of advisor on development planning. The Caribbean commission from which Stockdale emerges, has been hailed as demonstrating that it is possible for two or more powers having direct concern in backward areas to “adjuct common prob lems on a regional basis with the object of assuring colonial commu nities a greater measure of pros perity and stability.” In evaluating the work of the commission in that fashion last month, the Foreign Policy Asso ciation said that the Caribbean is one area of the world which “of fers a preview of the structure of the post-war order as well as an example of practical international planning.’’ Various other unofficial appraisals of the work of the com mission have reached similar con clusions. The commission has spent much of the first three years of its exis tence on problems of food supply, shipping, unemployment, labor, wa ges, cost of living and uniform ve nereal disease control. It is now engaged in broad planning for in ter-island trade, coordinated devel opment of fisheries and industries and land use, and expansion of ed ucational and health facilities oi every type. Intensification of that planning is indicated in today’s an nouncement. Lawmaker Wants Delay In Peace-Time Draft WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.— (/P) — House Republican Leader Joe Martin of Massachusetts warned today against “hasty” action in the face of Administration plans for enacting a universal peacetime draft law this year. Both compulsory military train ing legislation and tax revision should wait until after the fall of Germany. Martin indicated in re viewing for reporters his ideas of what the new Congress convening Wednesday should take tip. “I don’t think there is any rea son to be stampeded into a hasty decision,” Martin said. "A peace time draft cannot become effec tive until after the war, and it should receive mature considera tion.” "Perhaps.” he added, "the boys coming back will want to have something to say about it.” President Roosevelt has said he would like to see a universal draft bill passed this winter, and Chair man May (D-Ky) has announced the House Military Committee would start hearings this month. Both the Army and the Navy re portedly have urged early Con gressional consideration. Martin emphasized that he was not opposed to compulsory peace lime training and believed “some type" should be ordered. At the same time, Speaker Ray burn of Texas told reporters he believed the peace-time draft was certain to come before the new Congress although he did not think it would be one of the first things considered. He agreed with Martin that a general revision of the tax pro gram would not be effected this year. -V-.

(InternationalI LABOR PRAISED FOR WAR WORK WASHINGTON, Jan. 1—(UP) — Government officials today sound ed high praise for labor's part in the war effort during 1944 and joined unign officials in calling for still greater output of arms in 1945. Clinton S. Golden and Joseph D. Keenan, War Production Board Manpower officials, said in a spe cial report that man-days lost dur ing the first 10 months of 1944 totalled 7,135,000 less than in the corresponding periods of both 1943 and 1941. •’One of the most notable fea lures of our war effort is the way in which free labor in the United States has beer able to meet every demand upon it,” they said. "Wc are confident it will produce the stepped-up requirements for war materials and equipment that we must have in order to win a de cisive victory.” War Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt expressed confidence that free American workers could out produce "both the Mikado’s fana tic-manned factories and Hitler’s factories manned by German robot workers.” Organized labor’s pledges for re newed effort came from Presi dents Philip Murray of the Con gress of Industrial Organizations and William Green of the Amer ican Federation of Labor. Green said labor’s determination to pro duce should be a new warning to the enemy. Murray promised that the.CIO would adhere to its no strike pledge until both Germany and Japan are defeated. -V UNITED NATIONS ACCEPT FRANCE (Continued From Page One) free and peace-loving nations of the world.” “Together we have reversed the early years of retreat and beaten back the enemy,” his message said. Together we have laid the foundations for United Nations peace . . . We know that by main taining and strengthening the Unit ed Nations . . .

It is also the foundation stone of the peace that this coalition is striving to build. . . . “In making the peace, as in wa ging the war to final victory over our enemies, the United Nations will be stronger because France is herself again.’’ Bonnet said that the fate of the Axis was sealed from the day the United Nations was born. “France is proud to have been, like the other enemy occupied coun tries, an element of this superior force which was to bring victory back into our camp,” he said. “She knows that during this war the fraternal cooperation of the United Nations has proved that splendid results may be obtained in all domains. “To overcome the inevitable dif ficulties that we shall inherit from the most atrocious of wars, and that we shall encounter in the re establishment of peace and pros perity in our complex and magni ficient world, the United Nations will have to remain strong and organized, as they have been in trial and triumph.” icc aidYouster MOVEMENT CHARGED TO SOUTHERN UNIT WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.—(UP) — 1A spokesman for the Interstate Commerce Commission's Practi tioners Advisory Committee said tonight there is a movement afoot, reportedly started by South ern senators demanding freight rate adjustments, to replace Com missioner Charles I). Mahaffie with “a man who will vote their way.” Wilbur Laroe, Jr., Washington attorney and member of the prac titioners committee which ad vises on ICC appointments, con tended it would be “a crime against the public interest to let politics result in the ouster of a faithful and highly competent nnhiir sprvant: ” “The commission is supposed to’represent the whple nation,” he said. “It is imperative that it not be beholden to any terri tory or any particular group.” C. E. Childre of Omaha, Neb., transportation consultant for the Senate Small Business Committee, reportedly was the choice of Southern senators to succeed Ma haffie whose term expires today. The ISS has been investigating southern freight rates for a num ber of years. A decision in the case, one of the most important in commission history, has been awaited since last summer.

One of these, identified as Jap anese, was found three weeks ago near Kalispell, Mont. It was large enough to transport four or five men and was reported to carry incendiary devices. The balloon apparently was made of processed paper. me seconu uauoun was luuiiu last week at Tacoma, Wash., but; there has been no confirmation that it was of Japanese origin.)
