To Act on Latest Soviet Offer. STOCKHOLM, April 3 (U. P)—

Finnish parliament was schedto meet at Helsinki today, pre- _ sumably to act on new armistice ferms reported to have been given © Finland by Russia. The terms were believed to modify somewhat the 1940 frontier pro- * yisions, and the Dagens Nyheter reported in an undated dispatch that the new Russian offer would return Hango and Viipuri to Finland, but with an increased amonut. of cash Peparations to the Soviets. " Hango, a naval base on the .. pouthwestern coast, and Viipuri in ~ southeastern Finland were ceded to Russia by the Finns after their 1939-40 war.

Terms Received Friday

Private sources said the new proposals were received by the Finnish government Friday and resulted from discussions in Moscow last week between Soviet leaders and former Finnish Premier Juho K. . Paasikivi and Earl Enckell, Finnish banker, one-time foreign minister

WASHINGTON, April 3 (U. PJ). —The C. I. O. aligned itself today against the A.

and former minister to Paris. The terms were said to have re-| sulted from a new interpretation of | the Soviet's previous proposals, which were rejected by Finland last month, The old terms called for withdrawal of German troops from Finland, restoration of the 1940 frontier and that Finnish troops be withdrawn from that area before peace negotiations start. (The London Times said it was reported at Stockholm that the Finns were offered permission to keep Viipuri as well as Hango.)

The rider was attached to the NLRB appropriation for the current fiscal year and prohibited the board from taking any action in an unfair labor practice case involving a labor-management agreement which had been in effect for 90 days if no complaint was filed during that period. It was aimed primarily at a situation in the Kaiser yards where the company was charged with unfair

labor practices for signing closed shop contracts with the A: F. of L. metal trades unions when only a small number of men were employed and Lefore most of the shipyards’ employees were hired. The practical effect of the rider in the Kaiser case was that even though the C. I. O. organized the majority of the employees after the influx of war workers, it could not obtain recognition as bargaining agent through an NLRB election because of the earlier company agreement with the A. F. of L. union. C. 1. O. Legislative Director Nathan Cowan has called on C. I. O. affiliates to mobilize opposition to attempts to include a similar rider in the NLRB appropriation for 194445. The NLRB itself has appealed to congress not to reenact the provision.

Curb on Aid Given Nazis by

Spain Is

WASHINGTON, April 3 (U.P,).— Well informed officials predicted today that the United States and Britain may reach settlement with Spain this week on an agreement to limit Spanish aid to Germany. The long negotiations were said to be near a close, with these advantages already gained by the allies: .

1. Spain has agreed to exclude;

axis agents from Tangiers, strategic zone on the North African side of the Straits of Gibraltar, with the exception of the German consulate, The allies had sought closing of the consulate as well. 2. Spain has turned over to the allies six of the Italian merchant vessels interned in her ports when Italy surrendered and joined the united nations camp. 3. An agreement in principle has

The embargo is expected to remain in force until an agreement is signed. The negotiations have been going on for two months and there have been some reports that their length was caused by differences between the state department and the British foreign office on methods of diplomacy to be used against Spain.

LAGRANGE JOINS NAVY FRANKLIN, Ind. April 3 (U. P). —Richard L. LaGrange, joint prosecutor for Brown and Johnson counties, said today that he exepcts to enter service April 28 as a naval

national convention. Completing a 13-day pre-primary campaign in Wisconsin, Willkie has moved on to Nebraska, where he is entered in the primary which takes place next week. : Capital politicians are awaiting not only the division of delegates among the four Republicans whose supporters are contesting the Wisconsin primary, but also a tabulation of comparative vote-getting ability. Wisconsin has what 1s known as an. “open primary” ‘in which it is not necessary to be an enrolled party member to participate.

Democrats May Vote

Thus, Democrats who have no contest tomorrow may vote if they desire in the Republican primary. Similarly, the Progressive party organized and led by the La Follette brothers can barge in to help the Republicans decide who shall go to the Republican national convention. The significance of such an “open primary” is that it affords almost as good an opportunity as the final election to determine state sentiment, : If willkie piles up a big plurality in Wisconsin, his adversaries are likely to claim, and perhaps with some justice, that Democrats invaded the Republican primary to support a man for whom they will not vote in the November election when a Democratic presidential candidate is on the ballot. But the net effect of a fat margin for Willkie would be to boom his presidential stock.

Opposed by Three Groups

His slate of delegates is opposed in Wisconsin by three other groups supporting, respectively, Gov, Thomas E. Dewey of New York, Lt. Cmdr. Harold E.Stassen, former governor of Minnesota, and Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Dewey, who has announced he will not seek the Republican presidential nomination, requested his backers to withdraw and some of them did so.

‘15 votes in the Republican national convention. Neither the Wisconsin nor Nebraska delegation is likely to be a balance of power at the Republican convention which meets June 26 in Chicago in the hall in which President Roosevelt was first nominated in 1932 and for & third term in 1940. But if Willkie proves to be a votegetter in those two states his followers can argue with effect that he should be a vote-getter throughqut the Midwest. In the electoral college Wisconsin casts only 12 votes and Nebraska a meager six of a total of 531. Their combined strength in the Republican national convention would be 39 votes of a total of 1058.
