18 (INS) -Delegates to the 26th annual convention of the California Department of the American Legion returned home today after indicating their approval during final sessions of continuation of a congressional committee to investigate un-American activities. The convention demanded that such a group, now headed by Repr. Martin Dies, who retires next January, be continued by Congress. Other important resolutions passed dealing with national subjects included: Creation of a state Legion committee to investigate "unnecessary delay" in the deportation of Harry Bridges, radical West Coast labor leader. Favoring nation-wide and fitting observances of the anniversary of the signing of the bill of rights.
JAP RETURN Opposing of the return of nese to the West Coast until after the war, and asking that the Army replace the War Relocation Authority in charge of Jap camps. Deporting of all disloyal Japs, both citizens and aliens, after victory is won. Demanding that the government immediately take all conscientious objectors off government pay rolls. Asking the same priorities for housing and public projects for exservice men and women as those accorded defense workers. Urging passage of Proposition No.
9 on the November ballot to increase the annual state contributions to schools from $60 to $80 per year for each child. VOTED DOWN The Legion after a heated debate voted down the proposal made earlier by National Commander Warren H. Atherton that the group open its membership to men and women now in service before they receive their discharges. Final act of the convention was the installation of Ed Bolt of San Francisco as new departmental commander, succeeding William P. Haughton of El Monte.
Norman Dunbar of Hollywood was elected Fourth Area commander, while Harry Welch of Belmont defeated Romie Bynum of Oakland for the only other contested office, that of sergeant at arms. Bolt's first official act was to announce the reappointment of James K. Fisk as department adjutant, Walter Naughton as department historian and John A. Sinclair as department judge advocate.

18 (AP) The California Supreme Court today overturned rulings of the State Employment Commission which had sought to award benefits totaling nearly $500,000 to waterfront and hotel workers following industrial turbulence in San Francisco from 1939 to 1941. In five of six cases decided today the court ruled for the employers holding that the workers had left their jobs voluntarily because of labor disputes and thus were disqualified under the law from getting payment. In the sixth case, however, winners by the decision were restaurant workers who left their jobs because of a 25 per cent wage cut following collective bargaining wrangles in 1941. The court upheld the commission's findings that closing of the restaurants was in effect an employers' lockout and that employes were jobless because of the employers' act and not directly because of a labor dispute. Thus, they were entitled to benefits.
The waterfront awards stemmed from a two-month strike of dock checkers in 1939 and a ten-day walkout of ship clerks the same year. Some 4500 longshoremen ceased working but claimed unemployment benefits on the grounds they had stopped because they were unable to do their work due to the absence of the clerks and checkers. Employers contended this was merely a subterfuge. Speed Advised at War Plants (Continued from Page 1, Sec. 2) claims and makes for speedier payment, Nichols explained.
Capt. J. P. Carr, San Francisco administrator of termination for the Ordnance Department, stressed the need for contractors to set up adequate accounting systems and a competent termination unit within their own companies. "The government is interested chiefly in expecting your claims.
We can do that only with the cooperation of the plant operator. The clearness of your records and the availability of competent persons for inventory will make for speedier expedition of your claims," Carr declared. Naval procedure on contract termination was explained by Lt. Com. C.
E. Thornquist, San Francisco Navy Purchasing Office. Army and Navy procedures are basically uniform. Thornquist explained, as regards method of contract termination. Interim financing has been arranged by the government to allow the contractor to keep on producing until such time as the claim is paid.
Clearance of excess material from the smaller war plants is one of the biggest bottlenecks in expediting termination claims. it was stated by Lt. Joseph K. Gilligan, chief of the termination section of the Transportation Corps, San Francisco. A brief description of the services offered by the Plant Corporation, a governmental agency, was given by Earl C.
Elliott. regional contract termination specialist of the SWPC. San Francisco. Pedestrian Injured When Struck by Car Pedestrian Antone Cherila. 57.

Sehlmeyer's office put out a statement declaring: "A number of other Western states are becoming aroused at the infiltration of Japanese who, it is reported, are buying land at premium prices for settlement purposes, and the conference has been called to discuss the situation and exchange views so that some unified program can be made." Wounded in Action Pfc. Bernard C. Elissagaray, 17. son of Mr. and Mrs.
B. Elissagaray of near Tracy, writes from a hospital in New Caledonia that he is recovering from wounds received on Tinian Island. He fought 27 days on Saipan without a scratch ELISSAGARAY and then was hit by a Jap machinegun after landing on Tinian. He says the hospital is a fine one and that the patients get good treatment and entertainment. He enlisted in the Marine Corps last September on his 17th birthday.
Picks Aide'3 for Hull Talk ALBANY. N. Aug. 18 (UP) -Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey, Republican Presidential nominee, today named John Foster Dulles to represent him at a conference with Secretary of State Cordell Hull on postwar international plans. In a telegram to Hull, the Governor said he was "happy to extend my fullest co-operation to the end that the result should be wholly bipartisan and should have the united support of the Ameri- can people." LONG STUDY Dulles has given a lifetime of study and constructive action in the field of foreign affairs, Dewey said. "I consider him one of the very ablest of American authorities on international relations." "In view especially of the progress of the war in Europe I am convinced that effort to organize both temporarily and permanently for the establishment of lasting peace should be accelerated and I am happy to extend my fullest co-operation to the end that the result should be wholly bipartisan and should have the united support of the American people." INFLUENTIAL Dulles has long been Dewey's most influential adviser on eign affairs, It was known that the Governor consulted him earlier this week before he charged President Roosevelt and Soviet Russia are resorting to "power politics" in pushing plans for domination by the United States, Russia, Great Britain and China after the war. Hull replied that Dewey's fears were unfounded and said he would be glad to consult the Republican Presidential nominee. BOURBON FURY WASHINGTON, Aug.
18 (INS) -Democratic fury against Gov. Thomas E. Dewey for his warning against a permanent four-power military alliance and "cynical power politics" grew by leaps and bounds today. The Republican Presidential candidate was bluntly accused of playing politics with the international situation on the eve of commencement of discussions here between the four great powers on the form of a world postwar organization. Sen.
Joseph C. O'Mahoney, chairman of the Democratic senatorial campaign committee. denounced Dewey's statement as "a shocking act of political sabotage against the peace of the "It is reminiscent of the statements which were issued by the isolationists of 1920 when they first began their attacks on the League of Nations," he said. Sen. James Tunnell Del.) accused Dewey of repeatedly changing his position on international matters.
German Say Retreats Are Gaining Time (Continued from Page 1) to get him to leave Vichy, He reported that Vichyites now in Metz will go into Germany when Nazi troops retreat across the Rhine. German broadcasts admitted that rail workers have struck on main lines running north and east through France, and French sources here estimated that 5000 miles of track in the eastern and northern sectors is affected. Radio Paris failed to transmit its usual programs today, and London Daily Sketch reported the station had been seized by dissident German SS officers who broadcast an appeal to the Wehrmacht night to revolt against Adolf Hitler. PROGRAM CHANGE Though the revolt call was not reported by other Allied listening posts, the station's failure to follow its customary programs indicated something unusual is under way in the French capital as American tanks and troops neared its western outskirts. Instead of broadcasting news in French as was customary, one wave length assigned to Paris carried Berlin home service programs at 7 a.
m. Programs from Stuttgart were put on the air at 9:30 a. though Stuttgart's regular band is far from the Paris wave length. Premier of Bulgaria Plans Peace Moves ANKARA. Aug.
18 (UP) -Bulgaria, the first enemy country to capitulate in World War today appears headed toward a similar role in the present conflict. This premise was based on a statement by Bulgaria's new premier, Ivan Bagrianov, to a special session of the Parliament yesterday that he would seek a "rapid" withdrawal from the present conflict. Bagrianov, who became premier only months ago, charged that the previous government had taken the country into war without the consent of the Bulgarian people, and he emphasized that the nation's fate must be decided by Bulgaria alone. Undoubtedly he referred to Germany, whom Bulgaria joined on March 1. 1941, by signing the Axis pact, although he made no direct reference to the Reich.
Japanese Women Sentenced, Fined DENVER, Aug. 18 (AP)of three Japanese-American sisters convicted of conspiracy to commit treason, buxom Mrs. Tsuruko "Toots" Wallace, 35, today was sentenced to two years in the Federal Women's Reformatory at Alderson, W. and fined $1000. Her sisters, Mrs.
Florence "Flo" Shivze Atani, 33, and Mrs. Billie sh*tara Tanigoshi, 32, were given 20-month terms at Tiderson and fined $1000 each by U. S. District Judge J. Foster Symes.
Mrs. Wallace was described by Assistant United States District Attorney Ivor O. Wingren as the leader of a plot by the sisters to help free two German prisoners of war from the Trinidad, internment camp last October. The conspiracy charge, son which they were convicted by 2 Federal Court jury a week age. carries a maximum punishment of two years imprisonment and $10.000 fine.
The sisters, evacuated from their homes in Inglewood, to the Granada Relocation Center at Amache, Colo, were acquitted of treason charges. Maximum penalty is death. Kenneth W. Robinson, attorney for the women, said the defense still has not decided whether to appeal to Federal Circuit Court. Earlier, Robinson's plea for a new trial was denied by Judge Symes, who told the women they "had a fair trial and every protection of any "True other American they were very foolish," the judge asserted.
"But nevertheless theirs was a serious violation and they must pay the penalty." Proper Packaging of Soldier Gifts Urged (Continued from Page 1, Sec. 2) demonstrated, is to wrap one end of a tape measure around the middle of the box (like a belt around a waist), then, holding the tape at one end of the box, stretch it the length of the box. The total will give you the combined length and girth. Every package that is sent overseas should contain items that are really needed by the servicemen and women. Supply lines are already strained by increased shipments of war material, so every package should be needed by the soldier.
GIFT SUGGESTIONS Men in France or England are rationed to 7 packages of cigarets a week. If your man smokes. cartons of cigarets--if you can get them--would be very welcome. Candy, chewing gum, popcorn, cakes, cookies and groceries should be welcome. Do not send clothing or sweaters.
The Army furnishes everything he needs and extras only load him down. If your GI Joe is in Alaska, he would probably appreciate fancy groceries, powdered cocoa, cookies or fruit cake. Most of all, men in the Aluetians would like electric fixtures- -wall plugs, sockets, and wire to make the huts more homelike. If you know that he has electricity in his hut, an electric razor would be most welcome. It is useless to send candy and cigarets, however, since in Alaska they are plentiful and unrationed.
Don't send cold meats, the Army, according to most service men. supply plenty of these prepared meats. Topping the list are letters and snapshots, with good books, magazines and a subscription to the hometown paper next. Any soldiene would welcome film for his camera if you can find it. In Italy and Africa, candy.
cigarets, glasses of cheese, socks. shirts and sleeveless sweaters come in handy. If you are in doubt as to what your man would like, write and ask him. Don't clutter up the mails with excess baggage. Anything he receives should be something he will be delighted to get.
Jam Factory Blaze Sweeps Historic Town HARBOR GRACE. Newfoundland, Aug. 18 -Half of this four and a half century -old town was in smoking ruins today following a $2.500.000 fire which started in a jam factory yesterday and spread with lightning swiftness through tinder-dry buildings and homes. The fire started in the eastern end of the town, famed as the takeoff point for trans- Atlantic flights 15 years ago, and, fanned by a brisk breeze swept eastward along both sides of the narrow winding street that follows the waterfront. Workers in the fish wharves were having their luncheon respite from the sweltering humidity when the alarm sounded from the 100- year-old bell tower.
People rushed into the streets to see a heavy pall of smoke and ribbons ol flames issuing from the jam factory. The fire was soon out of control of the local volunteer fire fighters.

Senator Demands Publicity on Deals (Continued from Page 1) ly press, and radio and other publicity agencies," "This course is decided upon by the committee as a preventive measure," he said. "Where the light of publicity shines, there is little room for skullduggery and wrong doing. Forces of evil seek darkness and shun light." PROBE CONTINUED Hatch made his statement as national defense investigating committee continued its probe surplus property handling with testimony being given today by Army officers and other War Department officials. The committee- inquiring into the "lag" between cutbacks and availability of materials, other services or civilian production, followed up with a call for "full statements" of what materials are expected to be declared surplus the next three months and what cutbacks are anticipated. Maj.
Gen. Lucius Clay, director of materiel for Army service forces, told the committee 60 to per cent of the Army's materials will not be declared surplus after the war ends and Congress decides what Army strength is be retained. Littell protested before the Senate National Defense Committeeformerly the Truman committeeagainst Clayton's turning over farm land disposal to the Recon- struction Finance Corporation, POLICY OPPOSED proved." STRIFE WIDENED He opposed what he said was the RFC policy of selling through brokers, asserting that "the broker's natural customer is the man with money," and that the broker is interested in getting high values and not in "social policies" of seeing that veterans and small farmers get preference. Littell disclosed that the land division he heads and which serves all agencies except the RFC and TVA in land transactions was overlooked when Clayton formed his farm land advisory committee. The committee wanted originally, he added, to turn farm lands over to the Agricultural Department and mineral, forest and grazing lands to the Interior Department.
He asserted that on June 5 the committee, with only two members dissenting, recommended division of land disposal between the two departments and on June 12 changed their suggestion because Clayton purportedly "disap- Littell's statement, urging division of lands between the two departments, widened inter-agency strife over who shall handle disposal of the 12,000,000 acres required for war purposes. Leveling criticism at the brokerage system, Littell said the Navy is being asked a quarter of a million dollars or more for a plant that changed hands in April, 1943, at $53.000. He said John W. Galbraith Co. of Columbus, bought a Joliet (Ill.) plant from American Steel Wire Co.
for $53,000 in July, 1943, leased it to a Navy contractor for a year at $70,000. The Navy, through the contractor, has spent $1.250.000 for repairs, improvements and equipment, and now wants to acquire ownership for an $800,000 expansion, according to Littell, who said brokers for Galbraith placed value of the 450.000-square-foot plant at $1 a foot, but indicated they would "discuss" a quarter -million-dollar offer. Littell's division expects to take condemnation steps for the Navy, he said. Army, Navy Merger Seen Following War WASHINGTON. Aug.
18 (AP) -President Roosevelt declared today that everybody is practically agreed now on the need for consolidated Army and Navy setup but emphasized that nothing is going to be done about it until after the war. He made this comment at his conference when informed a statement by his fourth about term running mate, Senator Truman of Missouri, urging a merger of the Army and Navy departments into one department of national security. The President did not elaborate in his comment further than to that say the matter has been studied and that nothing would be done on it until the war ends.
