Showdown Nears
On Convoy Issue
WASHINGTON, May 17.—-
With congressional opponents of
gonvoys leaving the next move up
the administration. Senator Pep-
per (D-Fla) predicted today that
a showdown on the question of us-
ing the navy to guard war ship-
ments would follow any axis at-
tempt to block the delivery of
O merican equipment to Red sea
ports.
Asserting that the outcome of
the war in Africa might hinge on
the prompt transportation of tanks
and other materials to the British
in that area Pepper told reporters
personally had no doubt that
this government would take the
necessary steps to see that supply
ships got through.
President Roosevelt recently lift-
ed combat zone restrictions from
the Red sea thus opening It to
American shipping. Germany later
countered by including the area in
its declared blockade zone and
warning it would attempt to sink
any shipping that entered.
President Roosevelt said at the
gime he-threv the area open that
it was the navy’s duty to protect
Tin, Aluminum and
dead Foil Gathered
By British Society
Abilene stores were asked last
gnight to provide receptacles on their
counters for metal foils—tin foil,
aluminum foil, lead foil—to be
gathered by the Abilene chapter of
• the British War Relief society, and
sold for that cause.
A member of the local society's
. Gcommittee will call at each place
periodically and gather the foil, said
Charles Motz, head of the society.
Foil wrappings from cigarettes,
milk bottle tops, candy and other
merchandise can be sold at from 3
,to 11 cents per pound. It was said
* “Foil from cigaret packs is the least
valuable, but the most voluminous.
Tt should be left flat and not rolled
into balls and kept apart from oth-
er foils. *
Aluminum foil is used in milk
@bottle caps, photographic film wrap-
“ping, collapsible toothpaste and foot
paste tubes (caps to be removed*,
chocolate candy and chewing gum
wrappers, foil bottle, collars and tea
chest foil The most valuable foil
is that placed around cheese These
@aluminum and tin foils should be
kept apart from lead foil.
Lead foil can be sold at approxi-
mately three cents per pound and
aluminum and tin foil at 10 to 11
cents.

American shipping wherever it went
legally and the inference was that
this would hold true in the Red
sea ar elsewhere.
While Pepper emphasized that he
knew nothing of the president’s
plans, he said he considered it to
be Roosevelt’s "duty” to assure pro-
tection of shipments via the Rea
sea to Egypt’s "back door."
"It is the president’s duty to see
that our ships and our commerce
are not driven off the oceans of the
earth," he said "And I belleve that
it is the intention of our people
that the president shall see to it
that Britain gets the goods wher-
ever she needs them "
Senator Nye (R-ND) differed
with Pepper regarding the public’s
attitude. The North Dakotan said
in an interview that a trip last
week through the middle and far
western states had convinced him
that there was a rising tide of pub-
lic sentiment against convoys.
For that reason, Nye said, he and
other opponents of convoys were
quite willing to wait for President
Roosevelt to make the next move in
the controversy.
Nye was one of those who pre-
vailed on Senator Tobey not to seek
senate vote this week on a resolu-
tion to put congress on record
against convoys.
Tobey served notice that he
would offer the resolution at an
appropriate time However, Nye
said he did not believe such a time
would arrive until there were defi-
nite indications that the president
had made up his mind what course
to pursue.
Pepper, declaring that delivery of
mechanized equipment to the Brit-
ish in Africa was vital, said:
"If we can get convoys through
to hard-pressed Britain at Suez,
we may save Suez, Gibraltar, the
Dardanelles, and Africa—we may
save England herself.
"What Is much more Important,
by saving England we may keep the
United States out of war."

Hamlin Man Fined
For Driving Light
Out-of-towners get the same
treatment for traffic law violations
as home-towners in Judge Ben L.
Cox's corporation court.
A Hamlin man who appeared in
court Saturday morning with a
ticket for running a red light-he
said it really wasn't red but was
just changing—paid off his $3. cus-
tomary ‘fine for such violations.
Another red light ticket and half
a dozen dead-meter counts were
brought before the court.
Judge Cox ruled, after a confer-
ence with Chief of Police T. A.
Hackney, that no matter what has
been the custom heretofore, auto-
mobiles with the state "X" licenses
are not to be exempt from over-
parking regulations in fact, he
said, there will be no more exemp-
tions of any kind.
