Lend-lease to Be S!ashed to Great Britain Russian Aid Also Clipped as The United States Turn War Effort on Japan. Washington, May 14 J.P.) More big lend-lease cuts, includ ing a slash of nearly 5 per cent in U. S. war aid to Britain, were in prospect today following cur tailment of the bulk of this coun try's $300,000,00. a month ship ments to Russia. At the same time some top U. S. officials were said on good authority to believe the drastic cut in lend-lease to the Soviet Union might figure in relaxing the stalemate of the Polish sit uation. Through the Russian curtail ment assertedly was based solely on the fact that Russia is no lony er a fivhtinb ally, it was said to demonstrate a willingness on this country's part to be ''tough".

S. will not yield to Russian wishes in regard to Poland. Russia is anxious to win re cognition for the Soviet-sponsored Polish government now instal led in Warsaw, while British and the U. S. are insisting that the government must firetj bt re cognized in line with the Yalta agreement. It was pointed out that while lend lease is strictly a war oper ation, Russia is anxious to receive postwar credits from this coun try to enable her to buy Ameri can machinery with which to re build Russian industry. This coun try's readines to cut lend-lease shipments promptly and without heistation was seen as a hint to Russia o mee oher Allied naions half-way or face difficulty with the postwar finanacial problem. President Truman is expected to make an announcement on Disclosure of the sharp cut in lend-lease to Russia was made Saturday by Foreign Economic Administrator Leo T. Crowley. He said "new shipments to Eu rope' had been halted except those destined for countries still fighting Japan or those where lend-lease would aid redeploment of American armed forces. Congressman To Seek Clearing Of Succession Would Make Clear the Succes. ion to the Presidency in Case of Death or Disqualified WASHINGTON 0J.R) Rep. A. S. Mike Monroney, D., Okla., said today that he intends to do something to end the confusion in present laws governing succes sion to the presidency. "There are too many blind spots in the present system," he said in an interview. "There are too many possible contingencies that neith er the constitution nor congress have provided for. And now is the time for us to get busy not when the contingencies arise." He said he will introduce a bill shortly to sot up a 12-man commission to study the entire problem and make recommenda tions to congress. "The commission would be com posed of 12 of the foremost constitutional authorities and jurists in the country," he said. "They could go over the whole presidential setup his election, his succession and tell us what we should do." Former Postmaster - General James A. Farley advanced the same idea last week. In a speech before the Hazelton (Pa.) Cham ber of Commerce, he urged the establishment of such a commis sion and sharply criticized the present method of presidential succession. The law stipulates that the sec retary of state shall become presi dent if both the duly-elected presi den and vice-president die. This never has happened in American history. As the law stands, if President Truman should die now, Secretary of State Edward R. Stettininus, Jr., would become president. Under this system, Far ley said, a vice-president who has succeded to the presidency can arbitrarily name his own success or merely by appointing him sec retary of state. Monroney said that additional difficulties would arise immed itely if a secretary of state ever became president. Jurists disagree, he said, as to whether or not the cabinet officer next in line would be the new president's own secre tary or the secretary of the treas ury in the dead vice-president's cabinet. The bill would authorize the commission to study the general problem and in particular to de termine: 1. Who should become presi dent upon the death of the presi dent and vice-president.

Who should decide when a president is unable to perform the duties of his office. The consti tution provides that the vice presdent shall become the presi dent in case of the death or "dis ability" of the president. But there is no procedure for determin ing this "disability." 3. Who should become presi dent if both the president-elect and vice-president-elect should die between election time and inaug uration day. 4. What should be done if a major party presidential candi date dies before the election. 5. Whether the present system of electing the president is ade quate. Churchill to Lead Britain To War Finish i In Victory Speech the Premier Wantt to Stay on Job Until Finish and World Safe LONDON (U.R) Tired but defiant, Prime Minister Churchill indicated in his victory speech last nieht that he intends to lead ! Britain "till the whole task is done and the whole world is safe and clean." Churchill warned the people of Britain that they still face a fight to beat Japan and preserve demo cracy in Europe. In what observers interpreted as a warning that Britain would not tolerate strong-arm politics, Churchill said "there would be little use in punishing Hitlerites if totalitarian or police govern ments were to take the place of the German invaders." Churchill also took the oppor tunity to let loose five years' pent-up anger on Eire's Prime Minister Eamon de Valera, scor ing him for the "shame" he had brought Ireland by his neutrality policy. Churchill described De Valera's policy as "so much at variance with the temper and in stinct of thousands of southern Irishmen who hastened to the battlefront to prove their ancient valor." Indicating his desire to stick to his post, Churchill said : "I wish I could tell you to night that all our toils and troub les were over. Then indeed I could end .my five years' service hap pily, and, if you thought you had had enough of me and that I ought to be put out to grass, I assure you I would take it with the best of grace. "But, on the contrary, I must warn you that there is still a lot to do." Threaded throughout his speech were references to his advancing age and the tremendous load he has carried in five years at 10 Your Hea'th, Happiness and Success, Demands Good Vision!

Downing St. Listeners thought he sounded tired, and lacked his usual f ire. But the old-time Churchill rhetoric shone frequent ly and brightly. He said the San Francisco con ference must not become "a shield for the strong and a mockery for the weak." "We must make sure that those causes which we fought for find recognition at the peace table in facts as well as words," the Prime Minister said. Churchill revealed that one third of the troops and one-half of the losses in the western front campaign were British. He said the royal navy had borne the brunt of the north Atlantic bat tle "while the United States navy has had to use its immense strength mainly against Japan." He again pledged Britain to a finaL fight against Japan, saying, "We must never forget that be yond all lurks Japan, harrassed and failing, but still a people of a hundred million, for whose war riors death has few terrors." He paici this tribute to the United States: "Ever since the United States entered the war have I had the slightest doubt but that we should be saved and hat we only had to do our duty in order to win."
