scientific tests against 14 extra priced gasolines

. . . yet it sells at regular gas price Exhaustive tests conducted by a nationally known technical organization proved beyond question that Nu-Blue Sunoco is unsurpassed in mileage compared to 14 leading extra-priced gasolines, and since it sells at regular gas price, Nu-Blue Sunoco gave more-miles-nei-dollai.

These tests were made to cover different driving speeds — low, medium and high; ;

Albany Man, Missing Since Oct. 17, Found in Six

Mile Waterworks

^Om M r M P«Skt M alcWagma, •0. musing since last Oct. 17 from the home of his son, City Engineer John J. McManus, was found float­ing today in Six Mile Waterworks.

Coroner Harry Wands, who with­held a formal verdict pending in­quiry. Mid it waa evident the body had been under the toe of the res­ervoir during most of the winter. The ice, 20 inches thick offshore, has broken for a distance of 15 feet from the banks and it was in this •pen space the body was sighted by Henry Hoffman, Stop 35, Sche­nectady Rd.

Hoffman, who has a barn near­by, found the body in a section of the reservoir a quarter mile west of Puller Rd. That is the section, in the pine plains near the city's western limits, where Mr. McManus had been wont to take long walks.

The body of Mr. McManus, re­tired employe of W. M. Whitney A Co.. was identified by his son. Por some time after the victim's dis­appearance from the McManus home, 920 Myrtle, the family had entertained hopes he would be found alive and American Legion men and Boy Scouts had scoured the Pine Bush area in search of him.

Mr. McManus waa widely known an his younger days as an oarsman on the Hudson River, having been a member of the old Albany Row­ing Club. He retired about 12 years ago after a long career at Whit­ney's.

He is survived by his son, two daughters, Mrs. Walter E Conway and Mrs. William M. Hughes, both of Albany, and a brother. Terrence i. McManus, New York City.

The funeral will be .conducted at 9:15 a. m. Thursday from the Mc­Manus home, followed by Solemn Requiem Mass in St. Vincent de Paula Church. Burial will be in St. Agnes* Cemetery under J. J. render's direction.

DEWEY, F. D , AGAIN TESTED

IN FARM B E T Illinois, Nebraska Voting

Today on Convention -—'••**" Delegates

By The Associated Press Illinois and Nebraska provided]

two more farm belt tests today of the popularity of the Roosevelt third term m° v e m * n f c and ol Thomas E. Dewey, campaigning for the Republican presidential nomi­nation.

Dewey, who won Wisconsin's M Republican delegates last week over Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, was matched against the same opponent in the Nebraska primary He had no party opposi­tion in Illinois.

The Democratic situation was the reverse. President Roosevelt, who has given no hint aa to whether he would accept another nomination, was unopposed in Nebraska. In II* linois. however, the third term forces reached a showdown with supporters of Vicepreident Garner.

Rig Vote Seaght Twofold Interest centered on the

Illinois voting for 50 national con­vention delegates. (Eight addi­tional ones win be chosen in state conventions.)

The Kelly-Nash Democratic or­ganization waa avowedly out to roll up a big vote for President Roose­velt on the theory an overwhelm­ing victory would lead to his early renominatlon. Garner men, on the other hard, pinned hopes o n a stiowfrtg forrrrldabTe enough to curb third-term talk.

The heavy-vote psychology like­wise was uppermost with the Dewey forces. They hoped a large turnout for the New York prosecutor would hearten Republicans in a state which may be pivotal In November.

In Nebraska, 14 delegates were at stake in each party. Dewey, in a final appeal to the state where he has appeared twice, asked votes as "a rebuke to the New Deal admin­istration."

Vandenberg did not campaign In the state but presented his cause by radio. Senator Nye <R. N. D.), however, visited the state in his be­half.

The result of presidential prefer­ence voting are not binding on delegates In either Nebraska or Il­linois.

Contests for Democratic senator­ial nominations enlivened the vot­ing in both states. In Nebraska. Senator Edward Burke sought re-nomination against Gov. R. L. Cochran. Burke waa a lead a. g op­ponent of the Roosevelt court bill and some other New Deal measures, but backed the President in such contests as the one last fall over neutrality legislation.

flattery Heads Slate In Illinois, Senator James M.

Slattery waa a candidate to con­tinue serving the unexpired term of the late J. Hamilton Lewis. He headed a Democratic state ticket backed by Gov Henry Horner and the Kelly-Nash forces. Opposing him was Benjamin 8. Adamowski, a state legislative leader.

Lieut. Gov. John 8telle, anti-organization aspirant to the Demo­cratic gubernatorial nomination, abruptly proclaimed himself "acting governor" yesterday In an effort to supersede the ailing state executive. Horner, backing Stelles primary op­ponent. Harry B. Hershey. termed the move "pathetic antics," and in­sisted "I will continue to serve, aa governor."

The victim had worked last Sat­urday tout did not appear yester-ay. When he failed to check in this morning Edward Golden. Spring Ave., Troy, a contractor at the plant, went to the leander home am! climber through a cellar win­dow. Coroner Wands, who withheld a formal verdict, said Golden found Leander seate in a rocker, his feet resting an another chair.

Sweden Mobilizes Troops; All Leaves Cancelled

in Holland

\By, The Associated Press The little neutral nations of Eu­

rope were thrown into near panic today by news of the German oc­cupation of Norway and Denmark, which was interpreted in most quarters to mean the war soon would be extended throughout the continent.

Sweden, situated in the very fringe of the extended theater of conflict, ordered complete mobilisa­tion of her armed forces.

Premier Perr Albon Hansson summoned Sweden's Parliament to meet late today to hear a state­ment of the nation's intention of defending herself and by tomorrow, it was believed, the nation would know whether it could keep out of the spreading European war.

Swedish dispatches from the north said iron ore shipments from Sweden's mines to Narvik, the Norwegian port from which it is shipped to both Germany and Britain, had been suspended.

Meanwhile The Netherlands cabi­net met in special session, presum­ably to consider the new situation in Scandinavia. Periodic leaves for border and coast troops were can­celled.

Belgium's frontiers remained quiet, but Brussels buzzed with news of the German invasion of the two neutral countries. Defense cbie: tains conferred and announcedjpit* gihm's armed forces wWVawMBhfS meat any attack.

Nervous tension Increased In the Balkans. Germany sent notes to Yugoslavia, Rumania. Bulgaria and Hungary demanding that the Naaia be permitted to place police along the entire course of the Danube River, to keep open travel lanes for shipment of oil to Germany.

Official quarters in Turkey, which is allied with Britain and France, frankly speculated whether the Al­lies, with the northern battle fronts apparently cut off to them, might be forced to make a counter more against the Reich In Southeastern Europe with the Allied forces under command of Gen. Maxine Weygand.
