Francisco Gomez Jordana, the foreign minister, appealed for peace in an address at Barcelona. (Franco is indebted to both Italy and Germany for help in the Spanish civil war and has proclaimed his friendship for the axis. (The speech was made as axis resistance in Tunisia appeared near an end and Hitler and Mussolini were preparing to withstand allied assaults on the European continent. (London's reaction to Franco's peace feeler was polite, yawn. newspapers gave it little space, since their headlines were too thick with victories to leave much room for talk of quitting.

This is a record year in many fields -including war production, shipbuilding and battlefront fighting. It also is a record breaker in vegetable seeds and amateur (Victory) gardens. Because vegetable seeds mean food at a time when American food has to be spared among Americans and their allies, the agriculture department urges care in the way they are used.

Not that there won't be enough seeds to go around, but the experts say most amateurs use too many seeds. 3 of this course, Cadet Adama will be commiasioned a second lieutenant in the army air corps.

Eugene Casey, executive assistant to President Roosevelt, declared Mr. Roosevelt had asked him to emphasize that teamwork such as exhibited by the launching, would win the war. Such teamwork, Casey said, is the basis for the relationship between the United Nations. PACTS (Continued from Page 1) chairman of the ways and means committee, declared that the tradeact vote gave republicans a chance "to forever dispell the charge that they are isolationists." Doughton said the issue was: "Shall we continue along the enlightened and progressive course which recognizes that our last hope of civilization lies in the development of international among a family of nations, or shall we revert to the policy of nearsighted selfishness which has proved so disastrous in the past? We are called upon to decide between a wise and farsighted program of international co-operation and the thoroughly discredited policy of isolation." In a speech prepared for delivery after Doughton, Representative Knutson (R-Minn.) said "the history of the trade act has been succession of dismal Seeking to apply congressional veto powers to the president's trade pacts, republicans charged that the act in its present form violates the Constitution by delegating to the executive the tariff and treaty-making powers of congress.

They claimed sufficient strength to "recapture" these powers. Doughton praising administration of the law by Secretary of State Hull, said "the trade agreements program has contributed very materially to a healthy restoration of our foreign trade and it has accomplished this beneficial result without crippling any branch of American economic life." He added: "Among the strongest reasons why this measure should be supported on both sides of the chamber is the fact that the axis powers want it defeated. "They know that defeat of this bill could be seized on by their propagandists as evidence of disunity--disunity among Americans and disunity among the United Nations. There is no use mincing words about it." So far there has been no general seed shortage. But at the agriculture department it was said the supply of such kinds of seeds as onions, carrots, beets has been shorter than others and for that reason their export has been cut down.

Since this year there probably are millions of Victory gardeners for the first time sticking seeds into the earth, the possibility of waste is greater than usual. Even farmers have trouble gauging just how many seeds to put into a row of vegetables. So the Victory gardeners can help by following instructions on their seed packages and not over-sowing. Vegetables growing too thickly mut be thinned out before they WASHINGTON UP) The supreme court upheld today restrictions imposed by the communications commission on chain broadcasting. Justice Frankfurter delivered the 5 to 2 decision on a challenge of the regulations by the National Broadcasting and the Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc.

Among other things, the broadcasting companies contended the regulations would prevent a station from granting an option to network organization for any period of its broadcasting time. The companies also asserted that regulations barring exclusive contracts with affiliated stations had caused the networks "drastic damage." Justices Murphy and Roberts dissented, while Justices Black and Rutledge did not participate in the decision. Frankfurter said that "the munications act of 1934 authorized the commission to promulgate regulations designed to correct the abuses disclosed by its investigation of chain broadcasting." "Our duty," the majority ion added, "is at an end when find that the action of the commission was based upon findings' supported by evidence, and was made pursuant to authority granted by congress. "It is not for -us to say that the public interest' will be furthered or retarded by the chain broadcasting regulations. "The responsibility belongs to the congress for the grant of valid legislative authority, and to the commission for its exercise." WEST BRANCH WOMAN DIES Mrs.
