Danville, Sept. 11--Prospects for a special state legislative session developed today after Sen. John W. Spcnkmnn, Danville, disclosed that he Is sounding out Republican senatorial sentiment on meeting to appropriate drill pay for the state militia.

Speakman announced the move as Gov. Dwight Green visited here during the final hours of his nine-day "get acquainted" tour of the state. Green inspected companies A and and the first battalion headquarters company of the fifth battalion of the Illinois reserve militia last night. He told the troops the state and Its people "greatly appreciate your patriotic efforts for preparedness." Green told reporters he understood the militiamen, who replaced national guardsmen when they entered federal service, arc not discontented with the present lark pay and that officers Informed hl.ti "everything Is line." He was unaware, he said, of any move for a special session. Speakman.

however, said that mimy militiamen and officers feel they should receive some compensation lor i work, especially because IJDme travel 30 to 40 miles to state rtrmorles for the training. He said he was writing Sen, T. Mac Downing. Macomb Republican to learn the sentiment of troops In the Macomb area as well as Downing's attitude toward a special session for a militia pay appropriation. Downing led an unsuccessful effort to win the allotment during the regular session.

Green said today he plans another similar tour at a date. He has gained "plenty ot Ideas" he added, on how governmental can be stepped up, and suggestions wil be conveyed to the proper authorities so that necessary changes can be made. His second tour of state institutions will insure that his suggestions are carried out, Green said, and wil! give him opportunity to see how successful the proposed revisions are. The governor said his current trip was "successful" in that it gave him first-hand information on the "things our people arc thinking about and their desires," as well us the needs of state in- (titutions.

There appeared to be no let up In fighting on any of the vita sectors of the eastern front, with the Germans concentrating heavy air and artillery bombardment a- galnst Leningrad and the Russians striking again and again at the enemy lines along the central sector. London revealed that the British have dispatched hundreds of hurricane and spitfire fighter planes to Russia and that many of these planes already are In operation against Germany In the east.

First London dispatches did not state specifically whether RAF personnel hod been sent to Russia to fly the fighter planes against the Luftwaffe. But It seemed likely that, the British would not gamble their best aircraft In the hands of Soviet fighter pilots unfamiliar with these machines, Nor did London reveal the route by which the RAF planes hod been sent into Russia. It seemed likely, however, that the planes went in both by the" long northern route to Murmansk and Archangel am by the southern route to the Trans- Caucasus from the middle east. The British air offensive against Italy opened with a rush. For the first time since last January 12 British long-range bombers made a round i flight from bases in Britain to attack the heart of Industrie Italy, the great cities of Genoa Turin and Milan.

The British planes blasted at the Fiat and Caproni works and the Royal Italian Arsenal and were reported to have set great fires In what was described officially as Ihe heaviest attack of the war on Italian objectives. At the same time bombing squadrons from middle eastern bases again attacked Sicily, concentrating on Messina. Almost nightly attacks have been made for some time by middle csatern planes on objectives in Southern Italy ant: Sicily, for the most part axis ah bases. Rome admitted the British attacks, reporting that at least two persons were killed and a number wounded. These were not the only indications of growing British air power.

RAF squadrons in the middle east were said to have been powerfully reinforced and from Capetown came report that Britain has accumulated such a large store of men, machines am i i in the middle east thai there may shortly be launched a powerful offensive in Libya, designed to drive the Germans and Hal inns out of Africa.

IMIvw UN) NttKTH MM IliM) -TKKKI EM6 BALLOT Attorney General Tells of Organization Extending to All Parts of State. Springfield, Sept. 11--Plans for combating' election thievery in Illinois through a statewide organization which will "extend into every precinct of the state," were announced here today by Atty Gen. George F. Barrett Addressing an assemblage of office field assistants, called In from all parts of the state, Barrett, announced to them the formation of a statewide permanent organization which, he said, will "protect the votes cast in all future elections." He told his field deputies that he wanted "it distinctly understood right here today that this is a major assignment.

We are giving you the plan fo reach of your districts and that plan must be executed promptly and successfully." "We are going to make it so dangerous to steal a vote in Illinois that the ballot box staffers, the short pencillers, the vote buyers and other vote stealers will not dare to operate," he said. "Last year's drive in Cook county brought out more than 20,000 volunteer watchers on election day and the results were gratifying. We arc going to continue the drive there and we are going to extend it to every precinct of the state on a permanent basis." "Purpose of the organization," Barrett said, "is two fold. First, we are going to protect the ballots by preventing any kind of election irregularity, and second, we are going to protect the ballots by educating election officials to avoid errors." He instructed the field assistants to set up permanent headquarters in each county and that prior to every stale or national election, they should "see to it that every possible effort is made to instruct election officials In how to detect frauds as well as how to avoid errors." He said each field assistant, "with the help of proper local author- ties, will select one election official in each precinct for special instruction and be assigned the duty of acting as a special observer on election day." Any irregularities, he said, are to be reported to the slate's attorney of the county and to the attorney general. These reports, he said, will be cleared through a central headquarters in each county or through designated persons named by Barrett's field deputy.

The German right wing under Field Marshal Fedor von Bock faced the threat of being driven back into the Pripet Marshes to destruction unles Ihe Russians were stopped. According to advices reaching military quarters here, Timoshenko has been able to throw fresh tanks, KUIIS and planes into his drive and there were indications that he had thrown the Germans back across the upper Dnieper south of Smo- lensk. Basing their estimates of the situation on Russian reports and on German admissions of strong Russian counter-attacks, experts said that a continued Russian attack must soon affect the position not only of the southern front, the Ukraine, but on the northern one, around Leingrad.

Timoshenko evidently was press ing his advantage to the utmost, they said, in order to force the Germans to relieve their pressure on Leningrad and reinforce Bock, especially because Marshal Semyon Budenny was keeping the Germans ond other axis forces busy in the south with his hornet-like harassing thrusts across the Dniepei river. Houiinx Case Appealed. Springfield, Sept. 11--The Illinois supreme court today received an appeal from the St. Clair County Housing Authority from St.

'Sen.

Clark Is well known for the joy he takes in badgering witnesses," Willkie said, "but apparently Sen. Clark is to be protected from any examination of himself. "I think the lime has come to end the sport of United Stales senators badgering and threatening unprotected witnesses on the one hand and refusing to allow those who are being accused from having a hearing. Destroying reputations by whim and fancy, on the part of senators, is not a fitting role for elected representatives of the people." Clark replied that he would have been glad to be questioned by Willkie, but the universal rule of both Senate and House committees has been to prohibit interrogation by outside counsel. "Mr.

Willkie appears to think he is entirely beyond the pale of regular congressional practice," Clark said. "I won't quarrel with him, however, or interfere with his efforts to earn the huge fee he is receiving. "Of course, Mr. Willkie is a superb actor and, it is always difficult to know whether he is speaking his convictions as a private citizen or as a lawyer representing wealthy clients, or merely engaging in campaign oratory." Nye also issued a statement asserting that Willkie had indicated he and those from whom he speaks "are obviously greatly concerned with what they hove heard in the last two days as to how quickly the committee might reach pay dirt in its study of propaganda." Willkie filed a plea for discontinuance of hearing and the rendition of the committee's judgment on the basis of an inspection of the disputed films. The petition was rejected.

Clark argued that the cinema industry is monopoly-ridden, making it impossible for independents to survive except with the acquies cence of four major companies-- Locw's, Inc. (Mctro-Goldwyn-Ma- yer), Paramount, Twentieth Century-Fox and Warner Brothers. All four, added, hove taken the lead in producing "hate-inspiring" films. Willkie denied the monopoly allegation, asserting that the government and the industry have secured a consent decree which removed objections that anti-trust laws were violated. Mary E.

Washington, Sept. 11 Some members of the congressional agricultural bloc today opposed a suggestion by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, that farm surpluses be released to combat inflation. Morgenthau, In an address before the Boston, Advertising Club, said no surpluses should be withheld from the market now, because such action contributed to unwarranted price rises.

He suggested specifically that the cotton surplus be released and that Canadian wheat be permitted to enter this country in substantially larger amounts. Sen. Allen J. Ellender, and a representative of a cotton state, said: seems to me to be the meth od by which this administration is seeking to curb prices--through agricultural I don't like that attitude. Morgenthau's Canadian wheat suggestion was only a smart alec trick to help Canadian farmers to get their surplus wheat into this country by punishing the American wheat farmer." Sen.

Scott Lucas, 111., a supporter of the administration, mildly supported the Morgenthau suggestions. "So long as the price structure of wheat remains at the point where Ihe American farmer can get a fair return on his investment, the question of imports doesn't worry me much," Lucas said. "I seriously doubt that the suggestion Mr. Morgenthau makes will result in any serious difference in the price of wheat now paid to the farmer at the grain elevator." Morgenthau was alaimed over recent inflationary trends and stressed the necessity of new and more far-reaching mbelhods to control run-away price spirals. He warned the public to expect increasingly heavy taxes next year.

SUBSTITUTE POOD FOR SHEEP IS ANNOUNCED Atlantic City, N. Sept. 11-Four University of Illinois professors of agriculture today told the division of agricultural and food chemistry of the American chemical Society that air, coal and water can be used to produce a cheap substitute food for sheep. Research at Illinois institution has shown, the scientists said, that if protein concentrates such as soybean oil meal and other oil meals become as scarce in the United States as they now are in Europe, agricultural experts will be prepared to provide suitable synthetic substitutes. Developments in the research were told in a paper prepared for delivery at the society's annual meeting by Dr.

B. Connor Johnson, W. B. Robinson, T. S.

Hamilton and H. H. Mitchell, all of the school agriculture. They said research on the substitute food has been in progress at the university for two years. Air, coal and water, synthesized chemically, produce the protein substitute urea, a compound of simple chemical structure, the paper said.

Erea contains nitrogen, the essential constituent of all proteins. Sheep, as well as cattle and Roots arc normally fed protein concentrates such as soybean oil meal. While they are plentiful in this nation now, development of a substitute provides farmers with a useful and cheap stock food, the speakers said. The substitutes will provide farmers with the opportunity of feeding more home-grown, high-energy foods such as corn and grains, and low protein roughages, it was claimed.

President Roosevelt, returning from Hyde Park, N. last night conferred immediately for one hour and 35 minutes with his key inet officers--Secretary of State CoYdell Hull, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox.

Judge Samuel I. Rosenman, Mr. Roosevelt's collaborator on most of his important speeches, and Harry L. Hopkins, special assistant to the President on matters, also were at the White House. The time of the President's address was increased from 15 to 25 minutes.

It had been planned for last Monday night, but was postponed because of the death of Mr. Roosevelt's mother. Elaborate plans have been made for a world-wide broadcast. All Giardano Is Held For Authorities (Continued trom Page 1). lime of the robbery.

The judge explained that his decision did not deny Giardano the "right of trial on the question of whether he was actually in California when the robbery was committed. I don't feel justified," he said, "in setting myself up as the trier of the fact whether he was in California. I think he ought to be tried by a jury. It has not been shown clearly and satisfactorily that the petitioner was not in the demanding state at the time." Identification of Giardano by the Californians occurred near the close of the all-day hearing when Madison County State's Attorney C. W.

Burton called upon Carl E. Powers, assistant superintendent ot the Prudential Life Insurance Company's Los Angeles office, as the state's first witness. Powers and Miss Lewis, an employe of the company, both flew to Springfield for the hearing, and identified Giardano as one of the two men. An interesting sidelight of the Giardano case was the arrest of Harry W. Gresham, Los Angeles banker, in St.

Louis, Wednesday evening. Gresham was arrested after a change meeting with Lieut. Albert Stromwell of the Los Angeles police department. Officer Stromwell is in St. Louis awaiting outcome of the Giardano case, in hopes of taking the prisoner back to California.

Returning to St. Louis last evening after the hearing in Springfield, Stromwell ran into Gresham, wanted on a $20,000 embezzlement charge, in a St. Louis restaurant. Both had been staying at the same hotel. MAN AWARDED $7000 BY JURY THURSDAY John Agee, Granite City, was awarded $7000 in a sealed verdict returned here in the circuit court before Judge Alfred D.

L. McNary of Oregon and House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin, of Massachusetts were invited.

Democratic leaders summoned included Vice President Henry A. Wallace, Senate Democratic Lealer Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky and Chairman Tom Connally of Texas of the senate foreign relations committee, and Acting Speaker Clifton A. Woodrum of Virginia. Demands for repeal of the neutrality act came from Sen.

He was joined by Chairman Sol Bloom, N. of the house foreign af- GREATINCREASEOF BARLEY Increased Interest to Help Farmers Get Started With Good Variety. There will be a great increase in the acreage of winter barley in Madison County, with many farmers seeding it this fall on some of their land normally seeded to wheat On account of the great increased interest in barley and to help farmers get started with a good variety, the Madison County Farm Bureau secured a quantity of winter barley seed of the Kentucky No. 1 variety and distributed it to 35 farmers in 16 different townships to serve as future sources of seed.

The Kentucky No. 1 variety has been the highest yielding variety of barley at the University of Illinois crops experimental field near Alhambra, out-yielding the Missouri Early beardless more thar. 20 bushels per acre. At present the Missouri beardless is the most commonly grown variety. Kentucky No.

1 is of the rough bearded type. The land should be prepared for winter barley in the same way as is customary for winter wheat, stated Farm Advisor T. W. May. If the barley is to be used for grain alone, it is recommended that the crop be seeded with a drill at the rate of six pecks per acre or at the rate of eight pecks per acre for pasture alone or for both pasture and grain.

Results from experiments to date show that when it is to be used for jasture, barley should be seeded in August or early September, but if it is grown for grain, seeding may be delayed until the middle of September. Although winter barley is attacked to some extent by the Hessian 3y, early seeding of this crip does not present the Hessian fly hazard that exists with early seeding oi winter wheat. Winter barley is, however, freely attacked by chinch jugs; and although the crop ripens so early that chinch bugs do not cause much damage to it, there is the problem of protecting adjoinn- ing grain crops after the infested barley is harvested. Early seeding of winter barley has two advantages. First, it favors strong plant development before winter begins and thus enables the plants to pre-harden against injury from cold and to develop considerable resistance to heaving.

Sen. Walter F. George. former chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, said that while he questioned the likelihood of an accord with Japan at present, "the sober second view of the Japanese people will probably swing the military around before they reach an actual rupture with Great Britain, the United States, or the Dutch East Indies." Sen. Elhert Thomas, Utah, another foreign relations committeeman, said he believed Germany has been nutting pressure on Japan for war in the Pacific.

"Significantly," said Thomas, "the Japanese have not acted." Committee Appointed. Springfield, 111., Sept. 12--Completion of a state commission to investigate chronic diseases of indigents was announced today with the appointment by Lieut. Gov. Hugh Cross of the three senatorial members.

Repeal would untie pur hands and give us our traditional free seas doctrine." It was believed certain here that the President's address will be an answer to the recent incidents on the high seas. But in view of the extension of lime alloted for the address there was speculation whether he might also discuss Far Eastern affairs.

The transport situation here was serious. Only one-third the normal number of taxicabs were operating --propelled by gasoline substitutes --and buses, street cars, subways and elevated railroads already were congested because of strict fuel rationing. (Buses use substitute fuels.) Police permitted those taxu-abs which operated to charge double the usual fares. Gasoline-propelled vehicles were permitted for newspaper deliveries, for use by physicians and for oilier specified emergency uses. The vehicle ban came as hope rose that within the next day or two there might be news of an important agreement between Japan and the United Stales on Pacific problems, one which would give hope to far more important agreements to follow.
