BRUSSELS —UP)— Two Belgian
army planes were shot down over
their homeland Saturday in a clash
with a German bomber which the
government quickly protested to
Berlin as “a grave violation of Bel-
gian neutrality and an act of ag-
gression.”
One Belgian pilot was killed and
another was wounded in the clash.
The incident, announced in a
communique, was followed swiftly
by a series of unrelated accidents
in which four other Belgian planes
crashed and one pilot was killed,

Response Is Good
“We expect to be able to cope
with the situation by Monday night"'
Hamilton said. “Response has been
good, but we can still use all the
rooms we can find in homes here.
Response from home owners in

more than adequate."

Latest federal reserve board fig-

24. showed department stores sales
running five per cent ahead of a
year ago.
Shedding some light on why mer-
chants were expecting a rise in
Easter buying for the feminine
wardrobe was the Dun and Brad-
street observation that sales of
men’s work clothes were “excep-
tionally brisk.”
On the man's end, th* demand
for work clothes seemed to carry
a hint of a springtime increase in
outdoor heavy construction, home
building and farm activities.
With further curtailment taking
place in steel and other lines, the
Associated Press index of industrial
activity declined for the seventh
week. But the week’s drop was
the smallest of the recession from
the peaks of the autumn war boom.
War Inflence Evident
War time influences still were
evident in key industries, notably
in revived buying of steel, copper
and lead. Trade sources reported
noticeable improvement in steel
buying after several months of slack
demand, during which mills sup-
! plied many of the big orders taken
in the buying rush at the outset
of the war.

NEW YORK — (A») — Merchants
got ready this week for an expected
upturn in Easter trade and factory
production struck a steadier stride
after nearly two months of decline.
The word from retail observers
was that merchants had stocked
shelves more abundantly than last
year in anticipation of larger sales
in the next few weeks, supported
by a higher level of employment
and a freer war-time spending
mood.
WASHINGTON —(A>- The agri-
culture department has notified its
130,000 farmers members of local
AAA committees—many of whom
are party leaders—that they must
not take active part in forthcom-
ing presidential, state, congressional
and local campaigns.
The farmer committeemen are
subject to the Hatch act designed
to prevent "pernicious” political ac-
tivity on the part of federal em-
ployes.

The administration has counted
these farmers as the backbone of the

to comply with a recent Wallace
plea that "friends" of the farm pro-

ABOARD ROOSEVELT TRAIN
—(A*)—President Roosevelt, return-
ing to the White House after a
cruise in Central American waters,
accused the house appropriations
committee Saturday of camouflag-
ing its reasons for refusing $15,-
000.000 he asked to begin enlarg-
ing the Panama Canal.
Congress, ’ • said, has full author-
ity to delay for a year the con-
struction of a third set of locks, but
h* added somewhat grimly that
such action should not be camou-
flaged by statements that the war
department was pushing the project
too rapidly.
The appropriations committee
had said that detailed plans for
the undertaking could not be com-
pleted until two years hence, and
indicated that the war department
was prematurely pushing for funds.
Subsequently the house upheld the
committee and passed a war depart-
ment apporpriation bill minus the
$15,000,000.
The President said that the re-
iponsibility for delay should be
squarely on congress, because plans
are sufficiently far advanced to
permit construction to get under-
way this spring on the tra set of
locks, which would cost $277,000,000.

Manhall of Beeville. C. R. Robert-
son of Sinton was elected to succeed
J. B. Smith of La Feria as vice
president while L. F. Connell of
Kingsville was re-elected secretary.
John O. Barron of Brownsville suc-

Many other visitors were here in
