AVOID ‘SURRENDER,’ NYE TELLS NATION
CHICAGO, May 21 (U. P.).—Senator Gerald P. Nye (R. N. D) asserted last night that Russia, Britain and China have not abandoned nationalistic designs, and warned against commitments by the United States which would “surrender American ideals.” Senator Nye, prominent pre-war isolationist, called upon Republicans to inject realism into peace so the nation would avoid being caught unprepared by selfish post-war demands of its allies. He spoke at a “Republican revival meeting,” which political observers believed was called to counteract a recent meeting of the Republican Post-War Policy association, a group urging international collaboration and immediate planning for peace. “We need in America more of the kind of thinking Russians are affording Russia, and Britons are affording Britain,” Senator Nye said.

Walgren (D.Wash.) and Homer Ferguson (R. Mich.) that a friend had recommended his Embassy Industrial Engineering Co. to Emerson as a subcontractor, “But Embassy had no equipment of its own,” he said, “so we bid on Emerson's subcontracts and then placed them in Detroit job-shops, including firms in which Deutsch (Joseph J. Deutsch, Weber's partner in Embassy) and I were interested.” J. Fred Edgar, a partner with Weber and Deutsch, revealed that Weber's “friend” in St. Louis was John W. La Duc, chief engineer for Emerson and a former Detroit resident. He sald Weber got 50 per cent of profits from Embassy because of his “in” with La Duc.

“Next time,” he says, “I want a crack at the Japs. The Germans are too easy.” As crew chief on a troop carrier plane in North Africa, Sgt.

During the final moments of the landing, the control wheel hit Vedral a severe wallop on the chest, bruising his heart and requiring hospital treatment for 43 days.
