THE DAILY MAIL, HAGERSTOWN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1946. Tests May Have Jarring Effect On Future Funds Possible A-Bombs Will Prove Futility Of Big Army, Navy Units Washington, April 24 The atomic bombs to be exploded amid a "guinea pig" fleet in the Pacific this summer may have a jarring effect as well on future Army and Navy funds. Members of the House appropriations committee expressed this view today, saying the scheduled July tests may show: 1. The futility of keeping large standing armies in an atomic age and the desirability of concentrating instead on small but highly- skilled striking units. Pay and subsistence for troops is always a major item in Army appropriation Mils.

2. That the Navy's current ship construction program should not be followed to its planned conclusion with, emphasis shifted rather toward aviation and ordnance. Committee members said results of the tests probably will have no Immediate effect on appropriations "for the fiscal year starting July 1 because that money already will have been provided by the time the "bombs are touched off. Howe-ver, Chairman Cannon (D- Mo) told reporters that Congress DEATHS could quickly order cancellation of large parts of the funds should the testa indicate that would be the wise thing to do. Relief Board To Check On Wheat Must Decide How Much Of Grain Is Going To Be Available Washington, April 24 this country's famine relief shipments falling short, the combined food board tackled the job of deciding today how much wheat is going to be available for hunger- ridden areas abroad.

The board, made tip of representatives of the United States, Canada and Great Britain, was called Into session to pass on an allocation program for wheat exports which has been drafted by a subcommittee. The immediate picture evidently Was far from rosy, for President Truman's Famine Emergency Committee disclosed there was a llttle hope the United States can meet Its April relief export quota 1,100,000 tons of wheat The committee chairman, Chester C. Davis, told a news confer- ence yesterday that exports for the first 10 days of April fe'l 2S percent short of the target. He said movement or grain off farms since then has been disappointingly small. Davis, a former War Food Administrator, said it was too early to estimate whether the government's new offer to pay farmers a bonus of 30 cents a bushel on wheat sold for export would be effective in drawing needed supplies off farms.

Jerusalem Strike Is Nearing End Jerusalem, April 24 civil service workers returned to their jobs today after the Civil Service Workers' Association had accepted a compromise settlement of their wage demands, but railway workers declined to accept a sim- liar compromise.

Rubber Industry Is Aiming For 66,000,000 New Passenger Tires Record Output Is Forecast By Civilian Production Chiefs; New Controls Are Big Help Washington, April 24 Good news for motorists: The rubber industry bids fair to surpass its towering production goal of 06,000,000 new passenger tires this year.

Civilian production officials made this encouraging forecast today, saying the record output drive is being helped by new cotton yarn controls protecting tire cord supplies.

Claims Hitler Hoodwinked Him Nuernberg, April 24 Frick, declining to take the witness stand, began the defense of his life before the International Military Tribunal today by substituting documentary evidence designed to show that he had been hoodwinked by Adolf Hitler. Frick, former German Minister of the Interior and one time Nazi "protector" of Bohemia and Moravia, presented to the tribunal through his counsel documents seeking to establish that he actually was a well-meaning but powerless official who fought in vain to restrain Heinrich Himmler and the Gestapo. He was the eighth defendant to present his case and the first since Rudolf Hess to decline to testify in his own behalf. Sgt.

Will Be Processed Through Local Office All files covering rent problems in Frederick county have been transferred from the Baltimore OPA headquarters to the Hagerstown office, Walter R- Heath, district rent executive, has announced. All questions pertaining to rent control in Frederick county will be processed by Edward D. Condron, area rent director, Earle building, 74 West Washington street. Contacts for Frederick countians should be made as usual through Mrs. Annabel! Brooks, rent clerk in Frederick, 115 East Church street.

"This change was made in an effort to give Frederick countians better service than they previously received," said Mr. Heath, who also pointed out that the distance from Frederick to Hagerstown was shorter than from Frederick to Baltimore. "Landlords are reminded," said Mr. Heath, "that every dwelling unit must be registered within 30 days after being first rented. Otherwise there may be a penalty for being late in registering if the rent director discovers it necessary to reduce the rent because of comparability.

Every time a tenant moves out form D-25 must be obtained from our rent clerk in Frederick and should be completed as soon as the new tenant moves in. It also is requested that whenever a tenant receives notice from a landlord to move, that the Hagerstown office be advised so that the director can determine whether an extended waiting period should be granted the tenant before he is removed from the property." "The Baltimore office has been receiving splendid cooperation," said Leo H. McCormick, Maryland State OPA director, "from landlords and tenants in Frederick county, and we seek the same cooperation for Condron."

Rome, April 24 (JP) of the Interior Giuseppe Romita ordered police to block all highways from Milan today in an effort to frustrate any attempt to bring Benito Mussolini's exhumed body to Rome. Romita declared that "one man alone" knew the exact location of the unmarked grave in a Milan Potter's Field from which the former Duce's remains were stolen yesterday.

He declined, however, to identify the man while the investigation still is under way. Milan newspapers, meanwhile, reported that police had found near the open grave a note which was signed by the "Democratic Fascist Party" and which said: "Duce, finally you are with us. We repeatedly requested of the authorities that you be given a worthier tomb, but this always was denied us. Now you will have a grave worthy of your person and of all you accomplished, covered with roses and flowers." The newspaper II Momento said that for some time pamphlets had been circulating in Milan asserting that "Regardless of opinions on Mussolini, he belongs to history and therefore has a right to burial. Napoleon, too, led France to dis- NOW AVAILABLE At your retail grocers Kenny's Vacuum packed NORWOOD COFFEE in glass jars.

Milan police, reconstructing the theft of Mussolini's body, said the marauders had climbed two small fences to gain entrance to the rear of the cemetery. After uncovering the body they apparently dumped it into a sack and carried it to an automobile, which was believed to nave headed toward GaUarte, a small town 20 miles distant French Socialists Spurn Red Proffer For Consolidation Paris, April 24 French Socialist' party today turned down a Communist proposal to join forces in campaigning for the new French constitution slated for a national referendum May 5. Daniel Mayer, Socialist secretary- general, who said he was informing the Communist party of his organization's decision, declared that the constitution "is neither Socialist, Communist, nor Social-Communist.

It Is simply Republican. The Socialist party must go alone to the election campaign, hence alone to the referendum campaign." The two parties waged a successful joint campaign in the constituent assembly last week to vote adoption of the new constitution over the opposition of the Rightist groups. Cpl.
