British government could give of the
importance they attach to the rela-
tions of this country with the Spain
of Gen. Franco.
'The policy Of strict neutrality
which Great Britain adopted during
the (SpanishO civil war-and which
Spain might be said to be recipro-
eating during what is really Euro
pean civil war-was misunderstood
in Spain chiefly because a section of
opinion here which sympathized
with the so-called Republicans was
particularly vociferous."

said: I'VE are unitedly resolved that
all our industrial resources shall be

Although details were lacking, the
government permitted this informa-

The Royal Air Force and the
fleets air arm had harassed Ger
man troops concentrating near the
coast Of the English Channel. put
ting out OF action at least three
tanks. R. A. F. bombers had fired
enemy oil tanks at Rotterdam and
sunk German torpedo boat in
part of their regular night-long
operations.
The Air Ministry also declared
that British planes destroyed or Sc
rtously damaged 40 German bomb
ers and fighter planes over the
French and Belgian battlefronts yes
terday while losing 70.
A communique said 81 German
planes were seen to burst into
flames or crash on landing" and
nine more were put out of action.
The ministry said this brought en-
emy losses at the hands of the Brit
ish to 120 planes in the last three
days.
British military circles said the
French high command had re-
quested secrecy on the locations of
fighting until battle had been de-
cided, and that the ban on news
was likely to continue indefinitely.

l am going to continue to do all

Very sincerely yours,
JOHN R. MURDOCH.
Listen, Neighbor, I am working
for youl-John.'
In answer to the above letter:
Mr.. Loucks states that Congress
man Murdock had many facts OF
merit but that he had again con-
suited the Postal Record for more
data and learned that for the
period of 1897 to 1889 Coolidge
had shown an increase of volume
of more than 25 percent on the
o.xvo1 ;ooopoo u,b baroac TpmDp
for the same period could only
show an increase of TT percent
and Stafford Ill percent. This, OF
course is based on the grades or
post offices as is shown by the
post office manual Mr.. Luocks
further stated that he had a talk
with the Post Office Inspector
about five weeks ago and was told
bv the inspector that cities which
have city mail carriers did not
need nearly the amount of room
as such post offics as we have;
due to the fact that city mail
carriers clear the mail regularly
by distributing it soon after it ar
ives at the post office. Upon
further investigation, it was found
that Tempe during this same
period was listed as city with
city mail delivery and that SAT-
ford during the same period was
listed as a village mail carrying
vicinity. If the Inspectors in
terpertation of analysis may be
interpetated as a correct measure,
then we contend that Coolidge
should have been listed ahead of
Stafford and Tempe on this basis
because of the fact that We have
nearly the same mail volume with
| out the citys service. The in
spector then told Mr.. Loucks that
whenever 81 percent of the blocks
were filled and there was con
tinuous sidewalks that perhaps
Coolidge could probably secure

on the increased records.
We are glad to note that Con

every effort to help us relieve this
situation and we are going to do
our best to see that he receives

twenty towns listed would be IN
line for a building when money
was available. The Bureau of Re
clamation knows of twenty dam
sites in Arizona but that doesnt I
mean money is available for those
twenty dams.
Now the absolute truth is that
only two lump sum appropriations
for Federal buildings have been
made since | have been in Con-
gress, and they were in such an
amount each time as to give each
of the 435 Congressional Districts
one building. Because the whole
State of Arizona is one Congress
ional District, these two appro-
priations have permitted only two
new buildings within the whole
State of Arizona and these two
have been as stated at Stafford and
Tempe. Because ours is young
and growing State, we ought TO
have more new buildings now than
do the Eastern States, but get

other matter. There are a lot OF

Dodge Cars For 1941
New Liquid Coupling
Described

Recent rumors and new-model
guesses associating the l94l Dodge
with "a revolutionary new driving
feature" now crystalline into the
definite information that the new
est models of this popular auto
mobile will feature the fluid
drive"
The fluid drive" as employed
by Dodge and described by Forest
II. AkerS. vice-president and
director of sales, has been in de-
velopment for the past eight
years; it is without question the
most vital improvement in motor
car operation since the introduce
ton of hydraulic four-wheel
brakes"
Exceedingly simple as the new
fluid drive is mechanically, it ac-
complishes a surprising number or
improvements in driving results. "
saws Sales Chief Akers. 1.-THE
flexibility of this new fluid-power
coupling is such that it reduces
gear changing to points where the
driver. when he wishes. may do
entirely without shifting. While
the cars, in the Dodge installation,
remain equipped with transmits
sion giving three forward speeds,
the fluid drive provides, in addi-
ton, an almost infinite variety OF
in-between speeds which go into
action automatically and therefore
call for no judgment or attention
on the part of the driver.
The fluid drive enables even
the inexpert driver to perform,
with perfect safety, such feats, as
ascending a hill in high at speeds
as slow as one or two miles an
hour. stopping on the hill, then
starting again-without gear shift,
without in the least straining the
engine. and without danger of
stalling it.
The fact that these improve
ments in automobile operation are
brought about through liquid
coupling OF such extreme simpli-
city that 1t consists of but two
moving parts surrounded by two
gallons of closely confined oil
marks an automotive achievement
Of the first magnitude.
IAN important detail in connec.
ton with the Dodge Fluid Drive
which has been established in
many hundreds of thousands of
miles of test driving under every
conceivable condition-is that 1t
calls for no service attention, ad-
justment or periodical oil changes.
The oil. acting as the most flexible
power transmission medium ever
employed. retains it's working
qualities indefinitely in varying
temperatures.
MY prediction is that this new
Fluid Drive will lead our motoring
millions to an entirely new ap-
probation of the continuous efforts
OF autombile engineering to in
crease the safety and comforts of
those who drive and ride"
