Cheers Greet French Forces A TOWN ON THE FRENCH RIVIERA COAST, Aug. 16.-(A)- Residents of this invasion coast vil- lage stared wide-eyed and then gushed with enthusiasm as trucks of the first French forces rolled through the streets today enroute to the front after landing last night. "Bravo, bravo," old men and girls in ragged skirts shouted when they learned the incoming troops were French. At first, thinking they were more Americans, the civilians had waved and called cautious "Bon jours." The troops were in American vehicles and wore American uni- forms. They replied to the greetings in French and the townspeople cheered them wildly. In contrast with the roar of gun- fire yesterday during the initial land- ings the countryside seemed quiet and peaceful today with only occa- sional artillery shots in the distance. The residents, mostly women and girls, trudged under sun-filled skies back to town to resume the life which yesterday's invasion interrup- ted.

House Relaxes Service Ban on Films, Books WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-UP)-The House speedily completed Congres- sional action today on legislation modifying the "political propaganda" ban in the circulation of newspapers, films, books and other publications among troops. The amendment to the Soldier Vote Law was introduced after the Army's strict interpretation of the law had whipped up a furor. The Amendment permits servicemen to choose their own reading material as long as the Army and Navy can supply it and relaxes restrictions on films and radio broadcasts. Equal treatment must be given political views, however, in service publications, radio programs, movies and educational courses provided for the Armed Services. The Army and Navy, under their interpretation of a restrictions in the original Soldier Vote Law, have curb- ed circulation of a long list of con- troversial books and films to service- men. The services had contended that these publications and films might affect the November election and vio- late the anti-propaganda section of the Soldier Vote Law. Dewey Fears World Control By Big Four Nominee Wants Small Nations Represented By The Associated Press ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 16-Gov. Thomas E. Dewey declared tonight that if the Washington Post-War Se- curity Conference resulted in a per- manent four-power alliance "to dom- inate the world," the United Nations will have descended to power poli- tics and "we will have lost the war before we have won it." Critical of Enduring Partnership In a statement frankly interpreted by aides as critical of proposals made by President Roosevelt and Russian representatives for an enduring part- nership between the United States, Great Britain, Russia and China, the Republican presidential nominee in- sisted that as soon as the world was brought to order by the big four, the small nations must have a voice in deciding their future destinies. Telling reporters he believed he spoke the views of the Republican Party, Dewey said that "in the kind of permanent world organization we seek, all nations, great and small, must be assured of their full rights." Find Reports 'Disturbing' He had received "disturbing re- ports," Dewey said, that the conver- sations which were to begin between diplomatic representatives of the four big Allied countries at the old Georgetown mansion of Dumbarton Oaks in Washington next week might be aimed toward a permanent four- power military alliance. "It would be a tragedy if the com- ing conference among the British, Russian, Chinese and ourselves should be distracted from the task of planning for a genuine world or- ganization for peace by proposals which amount merely to a four-power military alliance to control the world," he said in an 800-word state- ment handed to newsmen who gath- ered in the executive offices. To this he added, when reporters asked him to put it on the record, the following statement: Fears Cynical Power Politics "If we get off on the wrong foot of cynical power politics, we will have lost the war before we have won it." Dewey himself declined to elabor- ate, but intimates said he interpreted recent statements of President Roose- velt as indicating that the admini- stratio nfavored the formation of a world security organization in which the four great nations, with a rotat- ing fifth power, would have dominat- ing roles. FDR Favored In Fortune Poll NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-G'P)- Americans favor re-election of President Roosevelt over Republi- can nominee Thomas E. Dewey by 52.5 to 43.9 per cent, according to Fortune Magazine's latest public opinion survey, it was announced today. The survey showed that Roose- velt's lead, now 8.6 per cent, had risen from 6.5 per cent when, the last survey was announced July 8. Fortune said regardless of per- sonal wishes, 72.4 per cent of the public now expects Roosevelt to win 'in November, as against 66.4 per cent who believed he would win when its earlier poll was taken. It added that 19.4 per cent expect Dewey to win, and 8.2 per cent don't know. Enrque Testa Discusses Chile Country Not Burdened By Political Upheavals "Chile, the Latin-American coun- try which has not been burdened by the political upheavals of revolu- tions, has developed from a liberal to a disciplined democracy," Dr. Enri- que Testa of Chile said yesterday. After the liberation from Spanish rule, Chile established a liberal con- stitution which gave the president wide executive powers, Dr. Testa con- tinued. In 1899, after the Chilean Civil War, a parliamentary system was established which endured for 30 years, he added. "In 1925, the constitution was changed to permit the inauguration of vast ,social reforms, andthe pres- idency was restored," the speaker stated. "The program finally adap- ted made Chile one of the most pro-I gressive countries of the American continent," he added. Describing the political tendencies in Chile, Dr. Testa said that the Communist Party, organized in 1928, Red Scientist Perfects Wheat Collective Farm Field Tests Are Successful MOSCOW, Aug. 16.-(P)-A peren- nial wheat, the dream of Russian agriculture for a generation, has been successful in practical field tests this year on collective farms ranging from Siberia to the Kuban, the Moscow press asserts. In experimental plots at his insti- tute near Moscow Prof. N. V. Tsitsin already has developed several varie- ties of wheat which persist as long as five years after a sowing, it is . announced. The kernels have a glu- ten content as high as 60 per cent- on a par with American wheat-and are well flavored for bread. Tsitsin's immediate goal is wheat which will give a normal harvest for two years from one large scale plant- ing. Foreign agricultural experts who have examined Tsitsin's Institute a- greed that another year may see "nogoletnia pshenitza"--many year wheat-emerge as practical compe- tition with the present world-wide varieties.

CBS EXPERT SPEAKS: Producer-Director Discusses Quality of Radio Broad casts "Radio programs generally have not risen to the peaks that those interested in cultural values would like," Executive Producer-Director Robert L. Shayon, of the Columbia Broadcasting System, declared in an address to the Department of Speech assembly yesterday in the Rackham Amphitheatre. That the four major networks offer a highly varied and useful fare with many positive virtues is indisputable, though many would argue that the general quality of programs is too low, Shayon continued. Let the peo- ple show their desire for higher type programs and the networks will offer Strain Caught In Missouri Police officials were notified yes- terday that Francis S. Strain, who escaped from the city police station Saturday, was apprehended by auth- orities in Rolla, Mo., and will be prosecuted there. Strain, who has a record of two jailbreaks in Missouri, was picked up here with two others early Saturday on suspicion. He escaped as police questioned the other two men, Ray- mond Strain, a brother, 28, of Ypsi- lanti, and Steve Baker, 20, of New Port, Ky. Baker, who admitted he was AWOL from an Army camp in To- peka, Kans., has been turned over to Army authorities and Strain is be- ing held for investigation of charges of car stealing and breaking and en- tering an Ypsilanti warehouse, po- lice said. Veterans-.. (Continued from Page 1) war are too terrible to live over again." With government aid and help from civic organizations he feels the boys are going to do all right, but this is "a battle that we all must fight. We want to be a credit to ourselves and a credit to the coun- try." The veterans on campus are band- ing together to "help each of us to make the most of what is available." So they have formed a Veterans Organization to get the tools to win this battle as GI Joe used his B-17 to win his share of the fighting battle. There Were four harrowing years behind that lapel button and there seem to be untold years, thrilling years, ahead. Stevenson To Aid in Peninsula Planning LANSING, Aug. 16.-(P)- Long range development of northern Michigan's cut - over areas and prompt post-war employment in in- dustrial sections will highlight the meeting of the State Planning Com- mission at Houghton Friday with the 31-member Upper Peninsula Ad- visory Committee. The Commission announced that Dr. Russell A. Stevenson, new dean them, for we cater to the tastes of the masses of the people, would be the reply of the radio networks. The critic would counter, according to Shayon, that it is the responsibility of the networks to lead in the devel- opment of taste rather than to lag behind and retard the growth of cultural values. Public Service Programs Although radio programs do give a certain amount of time to public service programs, the critic believes that time is given merely in order to keep the license issued by the FCC and with the least possible effort on the part of the networks, the speaker said. That the public service pro- grams themselves are not good enough and that the hours given to them are too poor, he added, are other arguments of the critic of radio standards today. "We have faith in the possibilities of growth in the taste of the people, but radio, to which the average American listens five hours daily, must guide this taste. By giving bet- ter time to better public service pro- grams and gradually bringing in bet- ter concepts and better writing, par- ticularly in the soap operas and other entertainment programs, the networks could do much in raising the standard of taste. Talks Reach Few People "Since the talks and serious pro- grams only reach a small percentage of the radio audience, the best way to reach the masses would be through entertainment, through putting im- portant ideas into stories," Shayon explained. The Code of the National Associa- tion of Broadcasters had nipped in the bud all attempts to dramatize public issues for the purpose of mass consumption. This taboo against dramatization has come about be- cause of thebelief that dramatiza- tion distorts issues, Shayon said. $20 per Week Bene fit Asked WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-P)-A drive for $20 weekly unemployment benefits got up steam on Capitol Hill today on a report that War Mobil- ization Director James F. Byrnes proposed that amount to the House Ways and Means Committee. There were broad indications that House backers of the Senate-defeated Kilr gore bill providing unemployment pay up to $35 for displaced war workers, would settle for that fig- ure. Testifying in executive session, Byrnes endorsed the principles of the "states' rights" unemployment pay bill passed last week by the Sen- ate, with the suggestion that the Federal government set up minimum standards. The Senate bill does not undertake to boost state payments, which now vary, but guarantees the solvency of state funds and makes eligible for benefits some 3,500,000 government war workers. Before accepting it, the Senate turned thumbs down on the bill of Senator Kilgore (D.- W.Va.) to set uniform rates with the Federal government augmenting state funds. *" BACK TO SCHOOL Reading and writing and 'rithmetic days call for new sweaters, coats and suits.
