Rhineland States Seek 4-Pover Union By BALPH HEINZEN United Press Starr lorresponaent SAN FRANCISCO, April 28 (U.R) Joseph Bech, foreign minister minis-ter of Luxembourg, revealed today to-day that his country, France, Belgium Bel-gium and Holland already are negotiating for an economic union destined to fit into the world security se-curity organization now being planned here. He said in an exclusive interview inter-view with the United Press that the four-power union would be extended to include any separate German Rhineland state' that may be set up after the war. Bech said prospects for a Rhenish separatist movement appeared brighter than in 1919, due chiefly to a general hostility of the Rhineland Catholics and labor toward to-ward the Nazi regime. Under the four power economic union now under discussion, he said, all tariff barriers would be torn down and all other restrictions restric-tions on a free flow of currencies, imports and exports would be re moved or reduced. "For small powers, the alternative alter-native to an economic union must inevitably be suffocation within their steel corsets," Bech said. "In the particular case of Luxembourg, Luxem-bourg, we must export 95 per cent of our steel" production or go bankrupt. "The first necessity after peace is to reform Europe economically, economical-ly, socially, financially and culturally. cul-turally. The first step must be planning for an economic charter. We must avoid at all costs going back to economic and financial autarchy under the pressure of purely nationalistic feeling. That would be Catastrophic." P.-T. A.

Mrs. Chandler said the senator was expected in Versailles, their present home, this week-end "and we'll plan then whether wall continue living there," she said.

' Under the point system, which is part of the partial demobilization demobiliza-tion plan to become effective after V-E day, credit Is given for length of service based on the total number of months in the army since Sept. 16, 1940. Credit is also allowed for num ber of months sevred. overseas, for decorations and combat service ser-vice and for the number of de pendents up to three children. Credit for length of overseas service and combat would tend to be larger for those who have been in the army the longest. Thus it was believed substan tlal numbers of the soldiers drafted at the outset of selective service and those who entered federal service through the na tional guard would have suffl cient points to be eligible for demobilization after Germany is defeated. Various estimates, none offi cial, have placed the number of those who will become surplus to the army after V-E day at be tween 1.000,000 and 2,000,000. But it wil take many many months to bring them home. It was stated at the war department de-partment that no plan has been adopted to discharge soldiers after V-E day merely on length of service. The point system, however, tends to favor those who have served the longest. A gallon of aviation gasoline requires re-quires 25 gallons of water for con-densing con-densing purposes. BY JOSEPH W.

Hawaii Nuisance Money Won't Even Burn Up sugar can after tho sugar l a - WASHINGTON. April 28 U.R The subject today is heavy sugar, or how to light a cigarex n ypu can find one) with a $1,000 bill and get away with it, none the poorer. What I've got Is one of those now-it-can-be-told yarns. The government already has an nounced that after pean uarnor, it called in all the currency in Hawaii and replaced it with spe cial Hawaiian islands money. That was so, if the Jap did in vade,, the cash would Be no good to 'f any place else. Now comes Stafford Austin, manager of the Honolulu Plantation Plan-tation Co., to tell what a nuisance money can be when you're trying to get rid pt u in large goDs. He finally used About $70,000,000 to boil down some sugar In his re finery. ,' It may he that you used some of this sugar on your corn-flakes this morning. Austin says it tastes' like any other sugar, how ever, and not to worry. He and the treasury department already have done that When the experts decided to call in the regular money in Hawaii, they issued dollars with the word "Hawaii" printed on the backs. The regular currency piled up in small mountains In the back rooms of all the, banks. "The treasury people decided It Was too costly to ship this money back to the mainland," Austin said. "They thought they'd; bet ter burn it. They took it out to a cemetery and stoked up the crematory, but that money turn ed out to be almost fireproof. It came in tight packages and they would char, but they wouldn't burn. "The firemen nearly burned out the crematory, trying to burn their money. Then they wondered wonder-ed if the furnaces in our refinery might do the trick. "These have strong drafts and big combustion chambers to burn bagasse, which is the refuse of has been squeezed out, and which, doesn't burn much easier . than money. I, told 'em I'd be glad to let 'am try. "They came out next day with their money trucks, their military Guards and their sirens howline. We fired up the furnaces and stoked 'em with millions of dol lars, and sugar production was never better. One morning we mimed S9-.500.000. I burned $20. 000 in .new fives myself with one throw. It was . quite a sensation. I can tell you. It must have been). We kept burning money for about two weeks. The treasury never would say how much we burnt, but estimating how many bills you can get on one shovel-load, shovel-load, we figured we must have purned about 170,000,000 worth. The youngsters in the army who served as guards'" took this as their chance to light cigarets with 91,000 bills. They wanted it, out the treasury said nothing doing. Soma kind of law against it." The refinery returned eventu ally to using cane again for fueL That- is, unto a few weeks ago," Austin said. "Then it be gan to look like those Japs weren't going to invade Hawaii after all. The treasury began calling In the war money and trading it back for regular. Now our refinery is loading the furnaces fur-naces with the special money." It's turning out heavy sugar, just as sweet, according to Austin, Aus-tin, but no sweeter than the regular kind.
