NEGOTIATION RESUL TS:
Sweden Agrees To Cut Downe
Ball Bearing Sales to Germany
WASHINGTON, June 13.-(U)-In
a major diplomatic-economic victory,
the United States has won an agree-
ment from Swedish ball-bearing
manufacturers to cut down substan-
tially on sales to Germany.
The Nazis, their own ball-bearing
output sharply. reduced by bombings,
have been heavily dependent on im-
ports from Sweden for bearings to
keep planes and tanks in battle, and
truck and factory wheels turning.
Negotiations Are Successful
The Swedes agreed to reduce their
shipments, it was learned, as a result
of negotiations between Stanton
Griffis, American movie executive
and special representative of the For-
eign Economic Administration, and
officials of the SKF Ball Bearing
Company.
Previously, the American, British
and Russian governments had de-
manded that Sweden cut off all ship-
ments of ball bearings and other
strategic materials to Germany. To
this, the Swedish government repied
that it could not make any reduc-
tions.
Blacklist Was Last Move
The last move to have Sweden cut
off ball-bearing shipments to the
Germans came May 22 when the Un-
ited States added 38 Swedish firms
to its blacklist. This raised to 426
the total number of firms on the list.
At that time the SKF company
was not mentioned and this was in-
terpreted to mean that officials were
still optimistic regarding the out-
come of negotiations. They had been
under way at the present intense peak
since late in April.
Second Occasion Named
The action was the second time
that the act of blacklisting hadten-
tered into current negotiations with
neutrals. On May 6 it was announc-

ISSUED HERE!
ed that 38 Irish firms had been black-
listed for their alleged assistance to
the enemy.
One of the most powerful weapons
at the disposal of the government is
the now well established policy that
such firms which persist in trading
with the enemy will be penalized in
the post-war period through contin-
ued economic sanctions.

This concerto is the practically un-
known one of four written by Boc-
cherini; it was resurrected from ob-
livion in 1938 and issued in a mod-
ern edition through the Smith Col-
lege music archives and is not to be
confused with the very popular Boc-
cherini concerto in B-flat major.
The work is full of brilliant writing
for the solo instrument and is over-
flowing with the same charm of
melody that dominates all the music
of this master, Prof. Ross said.
The latter half of the program,
comprised of contemporary American
music, includes "Slow Piece" by Ross
Lee Finney, winner of Pulitzer and
Guggenheim awards in composition,
and Quincy Porter's "Music for
Strings," written in 1941.
-Prof. Ross introduced Finney's
"Duo for Violin and Piano" at an
earlier concert in February. Mr. Por-
ter is dean of the faculty at the
New England Conservatory of Music
and has been recognized as one of
the leading American composers of
our time.
The public is cordially invited to
attend the concert.

WITH AMERICAN TROOPS AT
HOLLANDIA, DUTCH NEW GUI-
NEA, June 10-(Delayed)-(AP)--
Discarded bundles of clothing and
equipment laid carefully to one side
of the trail from Tanahamerah Bay
to Hollandia airdrome are mute evi-
dence that America equips its soldiers
too well before sending them into
jungle combat.
Bare essentials plus rifle and
ammunition are about all a soldier
can carry and-like the Japanese
--he can fight for days on meagre
rations and in wet clothing. All else
is discarded when the jungle trail
is so tortuous that the sweat drips
from your forehead into your eyes
and young lungs cry for air you
never seem to get.
On many landings Americans have
swarmed over the beaches carrying
packs that were too heavy and tossed
away article after article as they ad-
vanced.
The War Department recently has
sent its investigators into the field
to study jungle equipment and food,
Their findings have not been dis-
closed, but in talks with numerous
soldiers and from personal experience
f have found that many items are
good. Many others were designed by
individuals who obviously never saw
the jungle.
From head to foot the jungle
trooper is clothed in green. His
steel helmet with its liner is an
asset besides protecting his head
from shrapnel. The liner when
worn alone is protection against
the sun. The steel helmet may be
used to carry water, to bathe in, to
shave in and to make coffee in. It
also substitutes for a pillow when
lying all night in a slit trench. No
soldier I have seen has carried gifts
of "fox hole pillows" which seem to
have had some popularity in the
United States.
Soldiers complain of the new-type
high-top canvas boots with rubber
soles and prefer the old-style GI
shoe with leggings. The canvas
boots, they say, cause the feet to
swell, give no protection to the ankles,
and are inferior to the regular shoe.
There are many complaints against
the regulation two-piece jungle uni-
form with its four bulging pockets,
two in the jacket and two in the
trousers. Chief complaint is that
they are too heavy, much too hot and
not suitable for the tropics. The
jacket pockets, always filled to the
brim, give soldiers a "saggy breast"-
an appearance they dislike.
Many troops are issued rubberized
raincoats which, when buttoned, are
too warm in the tropics. A poncho,
apparently less favored by army
authorities, not only sheds the rain
better but is cooler and can be used
as a cover over foxholes at night.
Men who had hammocks with
their mosquito nets discarded
them, not only because of their
weight but because they are un-
safe near the front lines. .There
is the case of the officer on Los-
Negros Island in the Admiralty
group who swung his hammock,
was heard to cry out during the
night, was found dead with his
throat cut the next morning. One
soldier has jumped from his ham-
mock mosquito net during an air
raid without bothering to unzip
the two fasteners.
While it is the tendency of sol-
diers-and war correspondents, too-
to complain about everything and
particularly food, they would be hap-
pier if those persons who designed
jungle equipment and prepared em-
ergency rations would wear that
equipment and eat the rations for a
full week under wartime conditions.
They feel that some changes would
be made.

MASON, Mich. Tune 13.- (/P)-
Apparently still about as far as ever
from completing a jury to hear the
first of a series of legislative graft
conspiracy vvarrat trials, court ad-
journed toniight with coUnsel for the
23 defendants demanding investiga-
tion to determine whether the prose-
cution had unfair priority in access
to a list of prospective jurors.
Judge John Simpson, the trial
judge, set disposition of this flare-up
as the first order of business in the
trial tomorrow.
Earlier the defense, through Attor-
ney Chris M. Youngjohn, had moved
unsuccessfully to have all tentatively
accepted jurors dismissed and the
jury panel vacated, charging that an
illegal manner of selecting talesmen
for jury service had been employed.
Judge Simpson overruled him, hold-
ing that while County Clerk Ross
Hilliard had not complied strictly
with the law in the lottery through
which talesmen are drawn for jury
duty, there had been no.violation of
secrecy precautions with which jury
selection is surrounded.

The last in a series of faculty con-
certs will be presented by Dorothy
Ornest Feldman, soprano, in partial
fulfillment of the requirements for
the degree of Master of Music at 8:30
p. m. Friday in the Assembly Hall
of the Rackham Building.
Having received her B. M.. degree
in voice and'piano from the Eastman
School of Music, where she studied
with Lucy Lee Call and Donald Lid-
dell, Mrs. Feldman entered the School
of Music as a pupil of Arthur Hack-
ett.
She has been a teaching fellow in
the voice department of the School
of Music for the past year.
Accompanied by Ava Comin Case,
pianist, Mrs. Feldman will sing num-
bers by Donaudy, Debussy, Franck,
Ravel, Hugo Wolf, Osma and Bibb,
also an original composition by her
sister.
The recital will be open to the gen-
eral public.
Ending Today1
Completion of the second day of
the trial found 13 jurors accepted
tentatively-exactly the position at
the same time yesterday-and with
every indication that many changes
would be forced by the exercise of
peremptory challenges before the
jury is completed and the taking of
testimony can start.
Selection of the jury moved with
painful slowness. Under the system
adopted, 14 were chosen tentatively,
and one-by-one have been sup-
planted through peremptory chal-
lenges, which require no explanation
by the attorneys making them, or by
excuse for cause-either the tales-
man's request or because of prejudice
or some other reason.

Public transportation-by highway and
skyway, by railway and waterway-is
one of the most vital industries of this
State of ours. It represents far more
than a vast array of terminals, equip-
nient, repair shops and cold statistics
about moving manpower-it's the link
that joins Michigan's cities and towns
and rural communities to each other
and to the rest of the Nation. In these
tense times, it is the means of bringing
boys home on furlough-of getting
workers to the war plants-of keeping
on the move all those people whose
travel is essential to Victory.
An estimated 75,000 of our fellow-
citizens of Michigan are hard at work
on the 34 railroads and the 3 airlines
serving Michigan, on boats, barges, huge
fleets of trucks, and on the 104 inter-
city bus lines which operate 860 buses
along 12,201 miles of routes within our
State borders. No small share of the
credit for the efficiency of this excellent
'ansiportation system belongs to the

We who keep Greyhound buses rolling
across our State are conscious of the
importance of our particular job-to
the whole system ofwartime transpor-
tation. Without the buses doing their
share of the job other transportation
would be burdened beyond capacity.
Many of our people today are serving
in the Armed Forces-the rest of us
are doing our level best to keep essen-
tial highway travel safe and efficient.
But we're also thinking about and plan-
ning for the post-war days, when pleas-
ure travel will"return and when such
travel in new and finer Super-Coaches
will be a greater pleasure than ever.
