Highway Commissioner James S. Lamb, following a conference of highway and truck line representatives with Gov. John Moses, said that the attorney general's office had been asked for an opinion on the question. A special permit to Midnight Express, headed by A. C.

Elsholtz of Fargo, allowing one truck loaded in excess of the North Dakota legal limit but carrying defense materials, to go through from Valley City was issued Elsholtz declared that unless the state permits his trucks to operate above the 49,000 pound maximum load set by state law he will seek an injunction in United States court restraining the state from interfering with operation of his vehicles while they are in compliance with ODT No indication as to when a final decision might be arrived at by state i officials was forthcoming following; was to besub-1 uutiea at once to we attorney general's office "Permission lor. the one truck three arrests for over-loading (made Wednesday and Thursday by state highway patrolmen at Valley City) have been disposed of," said Governor "We realize that the one truck is carrying a considerable quantity of steel for a defense project and this must go through. Therefore the highway commissioner has indicated he Is willing to grant the special permit," the governor said. Elsholtz-declared that he Is between two fires, North Dakota law forbidding him to carry more than 40,000 pounds on his trucks and ODT regulations requiring mm to load to a minimum of 54,600 pounds. "In time of emergency war regulations- supplant state law," declared Elsholtz, "and I certainly am not go ing to buck up against wartime rules ef the federal government." Elsholt asserted that several trucks loaded beyond the legal minimum operated on North Dakota highways "east of VaUey City last night after the other trucks were stopped." He said he to continue operating in this way.

The one truck for which the special permit is being negotiated was stopped at VaUey City Thur4T night with a load highway patrolmen said was in ezeess of 64 000 pounds. It reported to be carryinr 22,000 pounds of sheet metal Bismarck for use by a concern here which holds a defense contract. Elsholtz said he had agreed to reduce this load to 54,600 pounds, the ODT minimum. Two other trucks likewise were halted at Valley Cit Wednes-cay night A Midnight Express truck was loaded to 45,600 pounds and a Consolidated Freightways truck was loaded fo 42,000 pounds. Governor Moses asserted that the Question as far as the state is concerned is entirely one of law and the protection of state highways.

Green Was Military Leaders Accompany British Chief on 2nd Visit in 7 Months WASHINGTON (AP Britain's prime minister and America's president put their heads together at a secret rendezvous Friday over win-the-war strategy. An abundance of factors added to a conviction on either side of the Atlantic that they are weighing plans for opening a second battlefront in Europe. Presidential Secretary Stephen Early said he considered speculation second iront "perfectly Justi fied." It was Early who announcd Thurs day night that Winston Churchill, ind's pudgy, picturesque war leader, had come to the United States second time within seven months. bringing with him some of his topflight military advisers, for conferences on "the wai, the conduct of the war, and the winning of the war." Press Meet Canceled The snectaculai fllehfc of Churchill and his party to this country converted it for the time being into headquarters for a major segment of the military hieh enmmnnri Vm United Nations. The entire world iooks toward Washington, as a result, a new and fate- tangent.

But the President's usual Friday cress conference was canceled, anrl Early said no statements need be expected either from Mr. Roosevelt or the prime minister during the rest of the week.

Brooke With Churchill The make-un of the military mi. sion that arrived with Churchill is oi a type to iena encouragement to the idea that conversations tnuchta? on a second front are in progress. For example, Churchill brought along Sir Alan Francis Brooke, chief of the imperial general staff, who is regarded by many persons as Britain's outstanding authority on mechaniza- uun. vvnue inspecting American rrooos in Northern Ireland last month he told them their opportunity to fight "will come soon." Conjectures about a second front immediately suggested that the shipping situation would figure prominently in the Churchill-Roosevelt conversations. Linked with that problem is the question of overall naval strategy and the distribution of the combat units of the fleet between overseas alone the coasts.

Assurances of adequate shipping might well be a major factor influencing an immediate decision on opening another front, since cargo vessels and transports would be essential to take troops and weapons to new battle line.
