May Cancel Hall Os Lend-Lease Payments Final Settlement Is Tough Postwar Job Washington. Aug. 22 — (UP) All authoritative evidence indicated today that the United States may cancel well over half of the obligations incurred by Allied nations under the lend-lease program. That is supported by statements of the late President Roosevelt and President Truman in their quarterly lend-lease reports to congress, and by the statements of the senate and house

foreign relations committees in renewing the lend-lease act. president Trumans order halting lend lease immediately focussed attention on one of the most difficult postwar jobs —a final lend-lease settlement. Procurement of supplies for Allies under lend-lease already has stopped; actual transfers will cease on the official V-J day. The major problem now is to work out interim agreements so that Allied nations can continue to receive lend-lease materials now in stockpiles, in the transit i “pipeline.” or on order. Those nations will have to pay cash or make arrangements for credit if they still wish such equipment and materials. Foreign economic administrator Leo T. Crowley pointed out that tiie export-import bank was ready to consider applications for loans from any Allied nation that still wants lend lease supplies that are still in the works. Russia reportedly has been seeking a $6,000,000,000 credit loan and Britain one of a similar amount. Crowley pointed out that the' export import bank, with lending . capacity of $3,500,000,000, does i not have enough money to finance i such big loans but that it does I have enough to handle financing | during the transitional period. But the final settlement of the | lend-lease accounts is the really tough, long-range problem. Offi- \ cials estimate that it may be as j long as two years before the lend-| lease books can be completely shut. Congress, too, will have some- ; thing to say before lend-lease becomes a closed chapter. Chair- ( man James M. Mead, D., N.

lend-lease program under careful scrutiny Every official statement ever made on lend-lease settlements has contended that the final reckoning should not be a simple matter of dollars and cents but based on the principle of equality of sacrifice. Equality of sacrifice among the Allies, according to American officials, means that each should contribute the same relative proportion of its warmaking resources. whether of manpower or wealth. A nation of . 10,000.000 that furnished an army of 1,000,000 would have made a sacrifice on that score equal to a nation of 100,ntm,000 with an army of 10,000,000 men. The same principle would be applied to war expenditures.

Reds Oppose Allied Election Controls Soviet Government Rejects Proposals London, Aug. 22— (UP) —The Soviet government organ Izvestia said today that Ruseia has flatly rejected proposals by the western I Allies for Allied supervision of ele' tioiiis in liberated countries. Such supervision. Izvestia said, | would constitute unwarranted interference with the sovereignty of the liberated states. “No matter what form the socalled supervision would take, esi -entially it cannot but boil down to establishment of control over the internal policy of another state which cannot be subjected to control from outside," Izvestia said. The Izvestia dispatch yas relayed from Moscow as the United States, Britain and France prepared to supervise elections in Greece. ' Britain and the United States also . iiad protected to Bulgaria against | her arrangements for elections : next Monday. The dispatch marked the first I authoritative disclosure of Russian I policy on the matter and disclosed I a serious split between the eastern and western Allies on the meI thods of restoring democracy in i lands freed from the Germans. I A British note handed the Soi vlet-supported Bulgarian governi men; yesterday said flatly that ■ Britain would be “unable to recognize a-s democratic any Bulgarian i government formed as result of i the elections" in that country. ■ U. S. Secretary of State James | Byrnes said Monday that the United States also was not “satisfied” that the Bulgarian election arrangements would permit all democratic elements to participate “free from force and Intimidation.” Wyoming now has 24 deputy game and fish wardens on assignment in the state.

Building Controls r ’ Are Eased By WPB td f Order Is Issued To e Speed Reconversion i. r l Washington, Aug. 22 — (UP) — i- The war production board Tues- '• day relaxed construction controls r to permit the building without ) specific WPB authorization — or ■ factories, plants,.and other indust trial facilities. i The agency estimated that in--1 dustry was ready to go ahead with -about $4,500,000 worth of such ■ construction. The WPB order was issued, it said, to speed up reconversion and promote employment. WPB chairman J. A. Kurg announced appointment of Joseph D. Keenan, vice chairman for labor production, to spearhead the huge construction program. The agency listed these projects which now may be constructed without its authorization: 1. Mining, smelting and refining, i foundries and other operations dealing with extraction and conversion of minerals to finished form. 2. Logging and lumbering operations. sawmilte, planing mills and millwork manufacturers, excluding retail lumber yards. 3. Pilot plants and industrial research laboratories. 4. Food jyocessinp plants l ;, slaughter houses, commercial food freezing plants, commercial cold storage warehouses and food packing plants, bottling plants, grain elevators and canneries, but excluding butcher shops, grocery stores, and frozen food locker plants serving individual customers. 5. Textile mills, cotton mills and similar establishments, hut excluding tailors’ or dressmakers’ establishments. 6. Printing and publishing establishments including those publishing newspapers or printing books.l magazines or periodicals. “Particular emphasis will he i placed by Mr. Keenan on indus-' trial construction.” Krug said, “So I that manufacturing activities can' be expanded without delay and jobs opened up lor returning ser-| vicemch and for workers as they I are released from war production.” , Krug said that the chief factor : now regarding construction was lack of materials and equipment. ' Keenan, he said, would aid in ; stepping up production of these| materials. Military cutbacks and ■ relief of manpower shortages, the > WPB chief added, should ease the I construction material supply promptly.

After evading direct answers to a series of questions regarding a | letter he eent Adolf Hitler and a memorandum he had drafted on Norwegian - German collaboration, the former puppet premier of Norway cried hysterically: “I did it to save my country! The last four years have been a nightmare for me because I had to fight both sides!” “Take it easy.” admonished presiding supreme court justice Erik solem. "Calm down!” The third day of Quisling’s trial opened with disclosure that court psychiatrists had examined the defendant on June 18 and had found I “no signs that he is mad and nothing to show that he is a person I with under-developed or weakened | mental power.” I Special prosecutor Anna eus i Schjoedt read the text of a letter ( I sent by Quisling to Hitler July 10, 11940, complaining that he had not j received the promised financial j support for hie part in the German occupation of Norway. Quisling also eaid in the letter ’ that he was “proud” his predici tions of German victories had provI ed true. The defendant said he believed ‘an associate named Ychueckedanz actually wrote the letter to Hiti ler. “But is it your idea Norway I should be put in the greater Ger- ' man Reich?" asked Solent. ! "No, not quite,” replied Quisling. I “The letter does not cover my ; views in the right way.” Schjoedt introduced a memorandum from Quisling detailing his ideas of German-Norwegian cooperation, including use of the same flag, money, foreign policy and j military command and abolition of I customs duties between the two countries. "Are those your ideas?” demanded Schjoedt. “I wrote that down as intended to hinder Norway trom becoming a German protectorate,” Quisling

Soldier Hanged For ’ Killing Army Buddy Chicago Gl Hanged Early-ThhMofnitig Ft. Leaveworth, Kan., Aug. 22— (UP) —Pvt. Edward J. Reichl, 39-year-old Chicago GI, was hanged early today for slaying an army buddy during a drunken spree at Gualalla. Calif. Reichl’s last word were a goodby to Chicago, the city of his birth, described by the prosecution dms his trial as "killers’ paradfee” and "the place where they shoot a man, then step calmly over his body to eat dinner.” “Good by Chicago. I love every street and alley in Chicago,” Reichl yelled defiantly as the noose was slipped over his neck. He entered the death chariiber clad in -his army uniform, minus a tie, but wearing his cap at a jaunty angle. The trap wae sprung dt 12.08 a.m. (CWT), and 16 minutes later he was pronounced dead. Reichl, denied ah appeal for executive clemency in the fatal shooting of Pvt. Adam BtichblZ, 35, 1 Dayton. 0., Nov. 17, 1943, appeared ‘ nervous as he was led toward the gallows. He interrupted with a ! slight cough when Col. William 1 S. Eley, commandant, read the death sentence. ' "Are you all right?” the commandant asked. Reichl replied, “I’m line, sir.” 1 Asked if he had anything to say to the charges, Reichl said, “Yes I have. Im not guilty of premeditated murder.” Reichl, a bartender in civilian life, was found guilty by a general court martial at Hamilton Field, Calif., February 15, 1944, and sentenced to be hanged. In a plea for clemency, Reichl said that he had been a chro'fiic alcoholic since 1932. He said he had been drinking continuously for 24 hours before the slaying, had no reason to kill BucholZ arid did not remember the shooting. A stay of execution was granted last month by President Truman at the reqttest of Illinois Senators Scott Lucas and Wayland C. I Brooks but was revoked upon the chief executive’s return from Potsdam. Until the end, Reichl’s widow. Elizabeth, 38, never ceased to hope that the case would be reviewed and the death sentence reduced. Her husband, <.e oaH, had felt himself to be a victim of persecution because he was from Chicago. which prosecution attorneys had described as a city where gunmen run wild. During his imprisonment, she said he had been forced to dress in prisoner of war garb and was Subjected to derision from other inmates and guards who believed him to be a German. o
