'ull Leuetf Wire Report of United Press THREE CENTS Republicans Face Deal Or Deadlock of Three Of Party's Candidates Taft, Dewey, Wilkie All Short of Necessary Majority for Presidential Nomination On Convention's First Ballot PHILADELPHIA Forty-eight hours before their convention opens, Republican leaders were confronted today with a choice between a deal or a deadlock among a handful of candidates seeking the party's presidential nomination. It seemed clear that none of the three leading candidates--Thomas E.

Dewey, New York district attorney, Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio and Wendell L. Willkie, president of the Commonwealth and Southern would be able to command a majority of the convention votes on any of the early ballots. There was no indication that any of the leading candidates would take second place on the ticket to assure a quick nomination.

Republicans were gathering for the convention under circumstances more promising to their future than at any time since the political tide shifted from them in 1930, but their immediate course was confused by three developments 1. Dissension in a platform sub-committee over the phraseology and intent of the foreign relations plank of the party platform to be adopted next week, especially whether the party should pledge itself to give aid to the Allies, and, if so, how much. 2. The astonishing growth of the Willkie-for-president boom. 3.

The necessity for the party to adjust itself to the situation created by President Roosevelt's nomination of two veteran Republican statesmen to his cabinet. The word "isolationist" does not precisely fit, but there is a substantial group of foreign relations sub-committeemen insisting that the party should not pledge any aid at all to the Allies. Another group, apparently just as numerically strong, is demanding that the party pledge all aid short-of-war. All M. Landon, 1936 presidential candidate and chairman of this sub-committee, has favored aid to the Allies.

An effort apparently was being made to compromise the two sides on a "peace and prepared(Continued on Page Pour) G. W. Sutherland, Barber at a Succumbs Friday George W. Sutherland, operator of a barber shop at Clark, died at 8:15 p. m.

Mild Restriction Placed on Sales Of War Supplies Congress to Be Asked to Authorize Outlay for New Factories WASHINGTON The administration soon will ask congress to authorize $1,000,000,000 for new factories and additional facilities in existing ones to manufacture vital war supplies, it was learned today. Preparations for this program neared completion as the senate last night approved a bill mildly restricting sale of army and naval equipment to the Allies.

The senate stayed in session until 10:30 p. debating a bill to expedite the naval expansion, program to which the restrictive amendment on sales was added. The bill was sent to the house for concurrence in the senate changes. The amendment was approved only after prolonged debate over President Roosevelt's aid-to-the- Allies policy, specifically with respect to the proposed release of 23 new torpedo boats and submarine chasers to Great Britain. As approved, the amendment would require that all army and navy equipment sold must be certified as surplus material by the naval chief of operations and the army chief of staff.

Naval Affairs Chan man David I. Walsh bitterly criticized the proposed sale of the "mosquito" boats to Britain and reiterated his charge that the deal was negotiated surreptitiously, an accusation that has been denied by the White House.

AKRON, of Foreign Wars of Ohio took a somewhat tempered stand today against "fifth column" movements in the United States.

Hitler Awaits France's Reply; Bombs Dropped On England, Germany Fighting Continues in France, Africa; Japanese Moves at Hong Kong Add to British Worries By UNITED PRESS Adolf Hitler awaited France's reply to German armistice terms today, but the war went on along a scattered battle front from the British isles to east Africa and was echoed by the of Japanese soldiers to the bordei-s of British Hong Kong in the far east. The French delay in accepting or refusing the still undisclosed terms laid down by Hitler was not explained, except for the fact that an instant decision could not be expected. There had seemed to be no doubt that the French council of ministers, meeting with Premier Marshal Henri Petain and President Albert Lebrun, would be forced to accept even the harshest demands. But in Bordeaux the French newspapers--despite Petain's attitude and despite Rome and Berlin claims that acceptance was certain--pointed out the vast police problem that would confront Germany if France did not accept and declared that the struggle would continue if the German terms were not "honorable." The war went on at a slackened pace in France but the conflict between British and German air fleets was intensified and in Africa there was sharp fighting. British airplanes raided the outskirts of Berlin.

Injuring seven persons, following new raids by German airplanes on the British isles, especially the east coast. The French reported that Italian troops had failed in local attacks on the French Alpine frontier area and that German advance elements including mechanized units, had been repulsed 38 miles south of Lyon in the Rhone valley and that fighting continued south of the Loire river. French troops were still holding out in the Maginot line area near Switzerland. The German high command said that the French ports of St. Malo and Lorient had boon and thnt more than 200,000 prisoners were captured in the labt few days, but for the most part the German advance had slowed down in order to consolidate positions.

In north Africa, Alexandria was bombed slightly and Cairo had an air raid alarm as the Italians struck hack at Egypt, where the British air forces bombing Libya have been based. The British said two Italian warships were bombed at Tobrouk. On the frontier of British Kenya and Italian Ethiopia, in east Africa, the British snid they had destroyed the Italian military post of El Wak, allho they were later forced to retire due to an Italian counter-attnck. Triumphant Berlin was jarred back to the realities of war at 1:40 a. m.

when hostile planes, prcsumnbly British, showered incendiary bombs near the outskirts of the city. The official German version was that throe incondinry bombs had fallen near the old railway station at Babclsberg, and had caused only slight damage. United Press correspondents in Berlin, however, reported hearing at least 25 heavy explosions, distinctly different from anti-aii craft firing. Berlmers, civilians and officials alike, were hustled from their beds, to spend 37 minutes in air raid shelters. German planes bombed England again for the third time in four nights, passing the southeast, east and northeast a in "waves," and killing three persons with a hit on one house.

British planes continued raiding German-occupied sections of France and Holland and Germany proper British naval planes bombed the big guns set up by the Germans at Calais, only 22 miles away and withm range of the cliffs of Dover. A penl arose to British territory in Hong Kong Japanese troops landed at the mouth of the Canton river and "commenced military operations" north of Hong Kong, it was reported. A Japanese plane bombed Schum- chun, on the border of Hong Kong and Chinese territory, killing one and wounding three persons. Japanese operations around Hong Kong were interpreted as a warning to the British to stop aiding the Chinese with materials thru Burma.

Butler Dies at Age of 58 Retired Officer of Marine Corps Victim of Abdominal Ailment PHILADELPHIA The nation mourned today one of its most colorful military figures--Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler, 58, U. S. marine corps, retired.

Butler, an opponent of any course that might lead to American intervention in European affairs, died late yesterday of an abdominal complaint from which he had suffered for many years. The "fighting Quaker" who, despite his long years in the marines in all parts of the world, frequently lapsed into the "thee" and "thou" of the Society of Friends, held virtually every medal and award bestowed by the nation. He twice was cited for the Congressional medal--the highest honor for bravery in action beyond the call of duty. He refused it the first time because he believed he had not merited it. Butler entered the hospital May 27 for a checkup and rest after a speaking tour of several thousand miles in behalf of his isolation views.

He stirred an international incident in 1931 by referred to Premier BenHo Mussolini of Italy as a "hit-run driver" and was ordered to stand court martial while Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson sent an apology to the Italian ambassador. The court martial later wa scalled off and Butler retired from the marines in 1931.
