U. S. COMPANIES HIRE S. A. NAZIS
Used as Distributors, Says : Rockefeller Aid on Return From Trip.
NEW YORK, March 5 (U. P.).— . Don Francisco, New York advertisIng #man, said on his return from South America that a number of
American manufacturers are em-|
ploying Nazi distributors for their ~ products in South America and are “engaging additional ones every day.”
. Mr. Francisco is a member of the eommunications- commission of Nelson A. Rockefeller’s committee to Co-ordinate commercial and cultural ~ relations between the American re- ~ publics. He said yesterday that 80 to 90 per cent of the Latin American peoble were “pro-United States and in complete sympathy with our policy of aiding Great Britain.” The av- : erage - Latin American, he added, is too smart to be misled” by Axis propaganda. . But, Mr. Francisco said, “United States manufacturers should in- . vestigate their Latin American distributor outlets. : “In certain industries a number of American manufacturers are using Nazi distributors and engaging additional ones every day. . “The profits made by the disbution of United States merchandise by such distributors, who are sometimes fifth columnists, are used to subsidize anti-United States activities in these countries.” South Americans consider President Roosevelt “one of the world's greatest leaders of all time” and have “great admiration for and complete confidence in Secretary of State Cordell Hull,” he added.

Senator Harrison is president pro tempore, and whenever Vice President Wallace is away, Pat rules the roost. Also, he’s chairman of the Finance Cormittee, and a meniber of the foreign affairs and rules committees. Yet troubles roll off his big, pink, bald head, off the fringe of gray hair, off the big r¥dunded shoulders, and leave him outwardly unperturbed. As he sits: slouched in his chair on the Senate floor or in his office, vest open, hands clasped over his paunch, wide-eyed, slow-speak-ing, utterly relaxed, even lazy-look-ing, you'd think he didn’t have a care in the world. He takes secret pride, though, in being known as the Mississippi fox
Can’t Count Fights
He has had so many fights he can’t remember them all. The battle over the Kull reciprocal trade agreements was the most bitter. His battle against Senator Barkley for Senate leadership, the most intense. His feud with his fellow Mississippian, Senator Bilbo, the longest. That began when Mr. Harrison supported for Federal appointment, a state judge who had once put Senator Bilbo in jail for 10 days for contempt of court. The fight lasted six years. It cost Mr. Harrison the leadership, for Mr. Bilbo threw his vote to Senator Barkley, who won, 8 to 37. The breach was healed only as year ago when the two men met by accident in an elevator, and shook hands.

NAZIS POUR INTO FRENCH AFRICA
Seek to Dominate Area .on Fears of Wide Advance By British.
By HELEN KIRKPATRICK i im Cora, LS HS RE Se LONDON, March 5. — German fears that the British would sweep right across North Africa have led to widespread German infiltration in French North Africa, it is learned here. German domination over French Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia is well on the way to being established, according to the latest most reliable private reports reaching London. In addition, small units of German mechanized troops have reached Tunisia from Genoa, London hears. The fact that the Germans were in Genoa preparing to embark for Tripoli was- presumably known to the British and was undoubtedly the reason they bombarded Genoa on Feb. 9. When the British advance into Libya appeared to be making too great progress for Axis liking, the Germans apparently feared that French Africa might be encouraged to rejoin the fight if the British chased the Italians entirely out of Libya. So a German armistice commission replaced the Italian commission in French North Africa. Under the Italian commission. the French had not appeared to be hurrying about dismantling naval and air bases and demilitarizing military areas. Under German supervision, this work has been considerably speeded up and German officers have been pouring into Morocco and Algeria in recent weeks, according to these reports. About 150 German officers, reaching Casablanca by air from France, are stated to be en route to Tunisia to take over French army units. About all they can hope to do, momentarily, is apparently to check any enthusiasm these French and native units might have for helping the British by giving the Italians a stab in the back at Tripoli. Other and more-reaching German plans for French Africa must be held in abeyance until French Chief-of-State Marshal Henri Petain agrees to military collaboration and gives up the remaining units of the French fleet. Until Petain gives that order, the Germans will not be able to get the French to

the construction contract, Rep.
liam H. Larrabee (D. Ind.) was Ifformed today. One of the Navy ordnance officers has gone to New York to confer with officials of the Lukas-Har-old Corp. which will operate the plant, Rep.

The Eleventh District Congressman also was informed that the Bridgeport Brass Co. has taken options on sites in suburban Indianapolis for the $11,000,000 brass cartridge plant, but the exact location of the proposed plant has not yet been disclosed.
BITUMINOUS MINERS T0 SEEK MORE PAY
Times Special WASHINGTON, March 5.—The first official statement that the United Mine Workers will seek higher pay and shorter hours for bituminous workers is published in the current Mine Workers Journal, official organ of the union. The biennial Appalachian joint wage conference will open March 11 in New York. The present contract expires March 31. The Journal also announced the results of the annual election of officers, which showed that while President John L. Lewis was reelected without substantial opposition he received fewer votes than Vice President Philip Murray or Secretary-Treasurer Thomas Kennedy. Mr. Lewis received 123,046 votes, Mr. Murray, 143,423, Mr. Kennedy 141,423. Apparently many union members cast no vote for president.

WASHINGTON, Kas, March 5 (U. P.)—Fric Blomberg, 87, who spent 14 years in jail rather than pay $63.35 in court costs, was free today but he told Sheriff William A. Anderson he would like to stay around the jail for a few days. The Sheriff said he would be welcome. Blomberg has lived at the jail so long he considers it his home. Free to do as he pleases, he went up town yesterday, checked over his account at the bank, visited with a few old friends, and returned in time for the hot meal Mrs. Anderson had prepared. Blomberg was a farmer near Barnes, Kas, when he ‘was convicted of shooting at some of his neighbors. Judge J. D. Hogan sent

him to jail for a year and added the costs.
“I'll stay in jail the rest of my life "before I pay tribute,” he told the court. Once the Judge planned to lift the costs and free him. Blomberg met him in the Court House corridor, insulted him and returned to his cell. Another Judge came and died, ‘but Blomberg, now thoroughly at: home in the jail, stayed on, Recently, however, he asked Sheriff Anderson about a motion to “reform the record” in the case. “I asked the new County Attorney, Herbert Hyland, about it,” the Sheriff said, “and when he looked up the law he said Blomberg never should have been held for the costs.”
