British and Indians Engage Japs North, Northeast - Of City.
NEW DELHI, April 15 (U. P).— British and Indian troops engaged Japanese forces in the hills north and northeast of the Imphal plaih today in an attempt to stop the enemy drive which has carried to within 10 miles of Imphal, capital of India’s Manipur state. The Japanese were reported suffering heavy losses in the fighting around Imphal, where they were attacking from three sides in an effort to isolate British and Indian veterans in the town.
Move Romania Capital?
ANKARA, April 14 (Delayed) (U. P.).—Balkan circles reported today that the Romanian government has moved from Bucharest to Brasov, in the Transylvania Alps some 90 miles to the northwest.

Sweden May So ‘No’
LONDON, April 15 (U.

‘Facts’ Given to Refute
'Fiction' About Lend-Lease
By FRED MULLEN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 15.—Former Economic Administrator Leo T. Crowley today blasted as “fictions” a long list of charges against the use of lend-lease funds, ranging all the way from rumors that lend-lease butter was being used to grease the boots of Soviet army soldiers to more serious reports that the British had removed American labels from lend-lease articles and substituted their own to gain prestige for Britain, Some of the “fictions” Crowley said came from sources such as Radio Tokyo, and were attempts to discredit Britain and injure An-glo-American relations. Others have been reported from time to time by administration critics in congress. Some were brought to public attention by the five “globe-trotting” senators who toured the battlefronts last year. Concerning stories of the removal of “made in U. S. A.” labels which he describad as “perhaps the most harmful, * Crowley had this to say: “Jeeps, Airacobra planes, Gen. Sherman tanks and tommy guns are self-labeling and known the world over as American. Investigation shows that no labels have been removed from lend- lease foods.” One of the oldest stories about lend-lease that Crowley classed as “fiction” was the report that huge numbers of diapers were sent to Africa and used as hairdresses by native chiefs, } Describing the report as con“kernel” of truth, Crowley said diaper cloth was sent from surplus WPA stocks, shipped solely for distribution among children of European families and “like all civilian supplies, paid for by the French, 100 cents on the dollar.”
Crowley's disclosures were contained in a list prepared for the house foreign affairs committee in connection with the bill to extend the lend-lease act to July 1, 1945. "Here are other examples as given by Crowley: FICTION: A most persistent criticism of lend-lease concerned butter shipped abroad, with the rumors growing more extravagant as point values on butter increased at home. It culminated in the absurd claim that the quantities going to Russia were so great that Soviet soldiers used it to grease their boots, FACT: Only 38 per cent of the total 1943 output of butter was lend-leased, with virtually all

To plant in hills, sow six seeds to each hill, allowing two to four plants to remain, depending upon the fertility of your soil. The rows of small early varieties can be planted two feet apart. Corn prefers a well-drained, loamy soil and moisture to fill out the ears. Weeds must not get taller than two inches, Shallow cultivation. is the rule so as not to disturb the corn roots. One good side dressing after the seedlings come up, and before they're a foot tall, is recommended.

going to the Russ army which actually used it as a life-giving injection in a remarkable new technique for treatment of abdominal wounds whereby food is pumped directly into the intestines. FICTION: Perhaps the most sensational rumor was that the Russians had traded lend-lease airplanes to the Japanese in return for rubber and these planes
were used against American forces. FACT: Rumors of this type,
emanating frequently from radio Tokyo, have been investigated repeatedly by the state department and other agencies, and have been proved without foundation.
FICTION: Rumors have been recurrent that lend-lease = was footing the bill for unjustifiable items ranging from a party given in Washington by an allied purchasing mission, to a variety of frivolous imports including powder puffs and nylon stockings.
FACT: There is no mechanism whereby anyone can requisition a dinner party. As to nylon hose being made ‘available to Australian women, the story was “planted” in Sydney papers by political opponents of a member of the Australian parliament who was up for re-election, and was followed the next day by an “embarrassed denial in Australia.” The denial failed to follow the false report to the United States.
FICTION: Last November there was a story current that lendlease was paying the freight charges to the Middle East on a variety of non-war articles such
as beer, - tobacco, lipstick and women's dresses. FACT: All of the items listed
were shipped, but the exception of a small consignment of beer and tobacco by the British government to the Middle East combat area, they were carried as commercial shipments, not as lend-lease, with consignors paying all transportation charges.
FICTION: Another story designed to injure Anglo-American relations was that alcohol lendleased to Britain was converted into whisky and sold back to us.
FACT: All alcohol lend-leased to Britain was used to manufacture explosives, parachute cloth and. other military products. No whisky has been made in the United Kingdom since May, 1943. | Other “fictions” included the | shipment of 50,000 refrigerators and 40,000 radios to England. Crowley described the reports as distorted or exaggerated.
