TWENTY WILMINGTON MORNING NEWS, WILMINGTON, DELAWARE. MONDAY, AUGUST 14. 1944 4 SOLDIERS KILLED, THOMAS PROPOSES EXPORT INCREASE SEEN TRADE KEY ttnre perms HAD m. mm. 3-MORE WOUNDED RADIO REPORTS PETAIN REMAINING IN VICHY NEW YORK.

Aug. 13 (INS) Marshal Henri Philippe Petain has refused to leave Vichy in spite of German "suggestions" that the Frencn government would be much safer in a more protected area closer to Germany, N. B. C. correspondent Paul Archinard radioed from the French-Swiss frontier tonight.

Petain. in order to guard against forcible deportation, has sent an official note to all the embassies in Vichy saying that he will never leave of his own free will. The aged collaborator told the diplomats that the possibility of changing the seat of the Frencn government had never been under consideration. The correspondent added that this' was a cue to the foreign legations not to quit Vichy under any circumstances, and a warning to the Germans not to attempt to kidnap the French head of state as they did King Leopold of the Belgians. EISENHOWER ADVISES HOW TO AVOID BOMBS LONDON.

Aug. 13 Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower told the French people behind the German lines today how to avoid Allied bombs and bullets aimed at the enemy. The commander-in-chief's latest instructions, carried over the Algiers radio, said the Germans were using farm vehicles and moving troops on bicycles.

It told the French not to cycle in groups and warned them to take cover at the sight of Allied planes. "Dig your protective trench far from routes of travel and as near home as you can," he said. "Keep an emergency supply of food at hand. "Tie labels on the necks of your own children with their names, your name and your address. When you -see liberating troops, stay under cover until you know the Allies have control and firing has ceased.

"The Germans have been shooting citizens who showed the tricolor too soon."

Foreign Policy Unit Spokesman Advocates Loans And Reduction in Tariff WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 (VP) Expansion of American foreign trade in the post-war years and, almost as directly, the erection of a sound world economic order, depend on how much goods and services the United States is willing to buy from abroad, the Foreign Policy Association said in a report made public today. The study, prepared by Howard P.

Whidden. of the association's research staff, asserts: "It is not unreasonable to contemplate a great expansion of American foreign trade unless the post-war period is to be one of economic nationalism, quasi-isolationism, and narrowly regarded self-sufficiency." The problem comes down, the report says, to how to get dollars into foreigners' hands so they can buy. Urges Investment Ahead Whidden argues for capital investment abroad, loans, ano other measures for making American funds available, but says American imports are the real key, pointing out they constitute the only final means of repayment. The economist says the United States has gained trade advantage? from lend-lease by familiarizing the recipients with the quality of American goods, but he adds: "At the end of the war the United States will once more be faced with the problem of supplying the world, through purchases of imports and services and by means of capital exports, with enough dollars to accommodate the merchandise exports which this country will be anxious to sell and which the world will wish to buy. For no country can, for any length of time, export more to foreign countries than it imports from or lends to them.

Proposes Lower Tariff "If a repetition of the debacle of the Thirties is to be avoided, this calls lor a reduction in the American tariff substantial enough to permit other countries to regain and ex pand their sales in the American market. "Without American leadership in the lowering of trade barriers, many foreign nations will raise their tariffs and intensify preferential agreements, exchange controls, discriminatory bilateral arrangements and various forms of state control. Extension and integration of these practices into a trading bloc would seriously affect the-volume and composition of American trade and would inevitably curtail American exports, even if this country should respond by adoptmg comparable state controls." Whidden says maintenance of the domestic economy at a high level is necessary to absorption of such increased imports and concludes: "If the United States can keep both its domestic economy and its foreign trade on an even keel, its tremendous productive a a city might well become the generating force in a world-wide trade expansion comparable with that of the Nineteenth Century." PROXY BIRTHDAY FETE IS GIVEN GOOD TURN NEW YORK, Aug. 13 iJP) A party at which 100 guests planned to celebrate "by proxy" the 21st birthday of a soldier now stationed in Italy turned into a different kind of a celebration here tonight tn July 31, Private Frederick J. Naporano's mother, Mrs.

May La-padura of Brooklyn, received a let-tr from her son asking that the birthday party be held without him at home. He gave instructions for the birthday cake, the champagne, the guests. The next day, Frederick's stepfather received a telegram, the boy was missing in action in Italy. The father said nothing planning to wait until Frederick had had "his" party. The cake and champagne were prepared: the 100 guests had been invited; a vacant chair was to hold an American flag and Frederick's picture.

Today, just four hours before the party was scheduled to start, a second telegram arrived. Frederick, missing in action from July 16 to July 20, was reported returned to his company. blue, green, satin bound. vmtej 72x84 All Wool fiszacon Blanket .99 A boxed blanket in solid ahades of blue, rose, irreen and cedar.

Norman A. Wilson, of the First Presbyterian Church, Garfield, N. said in a sermon last night as guest preacher at First and Central Presbyterian Church. Mr. Wilson said that God "is the Great Potter" shaping the world and men's lives to his plan.

Men need to get back to God and the Bible, he declared, in order to learn God's plan for their lives. Men and nations, he said, have gone the wrong way, doing what pleased them, instead of seeking God's plan and cooperating with Him in its fulfillment. God "will not come barging into our lives," the speaker said. "He waits for us to exercise our free will and ask Him to come in as Master." Mr. Wilson emphasized that "even marred lives can be remade by The Great Potter." "Even Hitler, if he would sincerely repent, get down on his knees and ask God's foregiveness and make all possible restitution, would be forgiven." he said.

At the morning service. Mr. Wilson preached on "The Worthwhile Life," nd said that life can be worthwhile in the highest sense, only if Christ is allowed to come in and dweil.

Artificial birthcontrol is a violation of nat- i ural law. he contended. DESTROY ii i U.

S. ISLAND RULE Alternative is 'Trusteeship' Under United Nations Control, Senator Declares WASHINGTON. Aug. 13 (ll.RV-Senator Elbert D. Thomas D-Utah of the Senate foreign relations committee tonight called for either direct U.

S. control or a "true trusteeship" by some small nation of the Pacific Islands mandated to Japan after the First World War. He said these islands logically would be among "the other bases, nearer to Japan than Hawaii lies' which President Roosevelt said Saturday night the United States must control in the "years of proof" before Japan can be trusted to help maintain world peace. "Japan has lost her right to be trusted," Thomas said. "Having once been made one of the five leading nations of the world, she has not lived up to that trust." Thomas, a foremost expert on the Far East, said if the United States did not her.elf take over or administer the Jap-mandated islands, the only alternative would be to allow a small nation like Australia, New Zealand or Canada to become trustee under the United Nations.

Ruling out Great Britain or France, he warned the mandate system evolving from this war must be made into "a true trusteeship whereby the trustee is small, smaller than the trustee-granting power." Thomas, an expert in international law and a former political science professor who has lived in Japan and knows the language and the people, predicted world stability will not come before 1947 and that it will come to Asia before it comes to Europe.

EOT 'cDJfwmijA 'BALD PATE HILL' Charge by 2 Tanks Breaks Up Series of Strong German Counter Attacks WITH THE CANADIANS NEAR FALAISE, Aug. 13 (U.R) A blazing charge by two Canadian tanks broke up a series of strong German counter-attacks and saved the battle for "Bald Pate Hill" the strategic hill position wedged into the German defenses before Falaise.

The hill, known on military maps as Hill 195. is 61 miles northwest of Falaise and the Canadians holding it are three-fourths surrounded and hanging on by their teeth. On Friday morning the Germans formed a strong force of infantry. self-propelled 88-millimeter guns, light automatic guns and a multi-barrelled mortar mounted on a truck in an attempt to dislodge the Canucks. As the Germans moved out from woods which almost surround the hill they were sighted by Lieut.

Ivan Phalan, Montreal, commanding four tanks. He ordered two of his tanks to remain stationary and cover him as he advanced with the other two tanks. A hail of shots followed as the two forces clashed. Phalan's and the other tank knocked out seven 88 two 20-millimeter guns, the truck-mounted mortar and killed a number of Germans and captured 40 or 50. The two tanks shepherded the prisoners back to the hill.

That was only one of the episodes In the savage fighting for Hill 195. It is a lonely dangerous position jammed about two miles into the main German Falaise defenses and it is linked with our main positions only by a narrow strip of friendly ground, flanked on either side by strong German wood positions. It is the highest ground in the area except for another hill two miles closer to Falaise. The hill was captured by the Canadians last Wednesday night after a previous try had failed.
