NAZI OIL SUPPLY Z
HIT BY ENGLISH
Claim Attacks On German.
Held France Touched Off
Inferno OF Ruin

LONDON, Aug. 15.-R-Destruc-
ton of invaluable supplies Of oil
for the Nazi engines Of blitzkrieg
was reported today by the British
air ministry which said last night
blows at German-held F r a n C e
touched off an inferno of ruin.
Some returning pilots were re-
ported seeing the glow of oil fires
nearly 200 miles away.
The hardest bombings were re-
ported in the Gironde river estu-
airy section, at Blaye near the Gil
ronde, and at Ambes where stored
oil supplies, huge refineries and
great tanks we're ripped to pieces
by direct hits.
The supplies and refineries hit
were described by the air minis
try as "among the most important
in France" and doubtless used by
the Germans to bolster their own
fuel resources.
Crews of bombers who attacked
at Blaye for an hour said they
spotted IS tanks and dive-bombed
them all.
The first bombers on the scene
plunged down to a height of only
300 feet before loosing their bomb:
Later, apparently after ground de
tense batteries got into action
bombs were dumped from 10, 00t
feet-nearly two miles above thu
targets.
The British fliers said the smoke
pail from the ruin beneath then
finally became so thick they coule
hardly locate their detectives.

WALLACE RESIGNS
CABINET POSITION
Resignation Will Be Effective
When He Starts Active
Campaigning

1: WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-R
Henry A. Wallace handed in his
resignation as secretary OF agri'
, culture today, getting ready to be
a; gin his campaign for election tc
the vice presidency.
He gave President Roosevelt the
resignation letter, had lunch with
the chief executive, then left the
White House with a broad grin
and a picture Of the president that
was autographed: "F o running
mate Henry Wallace from running
mate FRANKLIN D. Roosevelt"
Mr.. Roosevelt has said the res
ignation would be effective when
Wallace started active campaign
ing. The assumption has been that
this meant campaigning would be-
gin with the ceremonies in Des
Moines Aug. % at which Wallace
will be formally notified Of his
nomination.
Wallace, a member of the cab
met since the inception Of the Roos-
evelt administration, said. he and
the president had discussed . sue
cessor but that he could say moth
ing at this time.
The Democratic National COM
mittee meanwhile made plans for
a prompt reply to the acceptance
speech of the republican presiden-
tial nominee, Wendell Willkie, at
Elwood, Ind, on Saturday. The
committee reserved radio time for
a talk by Secretary 1ckes on Mon
day night $3.50 to 9 p. M, E. S. T.,

The Hatch politics law, inter-
pretations of which have caused
much argument recently, was the
subject Of a formal opinion today
by the acting comptroller General
R. N. Elliott. He said that although
the act required the dismissal OF

litical activities there appeared to
be nothing in the act to prevent
the retiring of persons I'm some

The interchangeable fact about
the Battle of Britain, after two
months of Nazi air attack culmln
ating in a week of mass bombing
unparalleled in ferocity is hal the
British bull dog still is growing.
The Nazi victory schedule, &C
cording to the British, set mid
August for Hitler's triumphal en-
try into London, a. he went sight
seeing in conquered Paris in mid
June. If so, the time table is def
initely disarranged; and the pros
pects of quick and crushing Ger
man victory before winter inter
venes is still far from realized.
Mid-August is here. The 18th OF
the month was marked by a curl
Gus lull in Nazi strafing of Eng
land. Berlin spokesman said bad
flying weather caused it. The Brit
ish charged it up to huge air loss
es they said they inflicted on the
foe in the four preceding days.
The return of German air arma-
das in far greater numbers the
next day left the true significance
of the brief let-down a matter Of
| guess work.
During the lull there was an obvi-
Gus feeling in England that the first
phase of the battle had been won,
that the danger of invasion was
passing and that prospects of win
ming through until winters storms
and long nights come to Britain's
aid were Frightening hour by hour
Prime Minister Churchill tool
notice of that, warning parliament
that the danger of invasion was
far from passed. He voiced grim
determination that there should be
no let-down in British fighting spir
it due to unwarranted over-confi
dence.
Not Very Convincing
The Berlin explanation that bae
weather caused the brief breath
ing spell for Britain does not soune
very convincing. 1t is not verified
by any weather stories from Brit

not such as to prevent British
bombers from surging across thu

Perhaps the Germans merely

greater onslaught they unleashec
later.

Gillette Asks Jackson
To Give Reasons Why Oil
Concerns Not Prosecuted

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-RN
Senator Gillette D-1a) demanded
today that Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Thurman Arnold give "satis-
factory reasons" why the justice
department has not prosecuted Pc
troleum companies for alleged
monopolistic practices.
He told the head of the depart
ment's antitrust division in a let
ter that unless such reasons were
given he would not be further JUS
titled in refusing to comment on
what appears to be an unjustified
attitude on the part of the depart
ment Of justice in bringing to the
courts the long and carefully pre-
pared facts which you have as

way for the delay will realize"

Interpreting The War

It follows, then, that Germany
must achieve victory, whether by
invasion or by utterly devastating
bomb attack, before then, and the
known results - the Nazi air bltz-
krieg up to nt1 do not indicate
that prospects of a quick victory
have greatly frightened for Hitler

Winter Cover Crops
Must Be Planted
By December lst

Farmers of Holmes County co.
operating with the 1910 Agricultural
Adjustment Administration Program
are being advised by E. r. Trotman,
County Administrative Assistant, to
have all of their winter crops planted
before December /, as this is the
dead line date for planting these
crops for credit on the 1910 Soil
Conservation Payment.
A representative from the County
Triple A office will visit all farms
of the county during the fall months
to check soil building practices which
will qualify for second class pay
ments.
Some of the practices to be check
ed are winter legumes such as Vetch,
Bur, Crimson, and White clover, and
Austrian Winter peas. On this visit
the compliance reporter will check
such crops as beans, peas, and les
pedeza for the purpose of seeing
whether the farmer plowed these
crops under or left them on the
ground or cut them for hay. Farms
having qualified for payment build
ing terraces, putting out Kudzu,
Lime, Basic Stag, or pasture grass
mixtures should call this fact to the
attention of the man checking this
farm.

Council, Textile
Institute Coordinate
Promotion Plans
Both Organizations PIon
To Broaden Programs
During Year Ahead

Memphis, Tenn.-Coordination of
the promotion activities of the. Cot
~ton-Textile Institute and the National
Cotton Council to provide a unified
drive for increased cotton consump-
ton was announced today by DR..
Claudius I. Murchison and Oscar
johnson, presidents of the respective
organizations.
Details of cooperation, perfected by
representatives of the two ~organiza-
tions at meetings in New York, es-
tablish a dove-tailed promotion pro-
gram to be conducted for the cotton
textile industry by the Institute and
for the raw cotton industry by the
Council.
Presidents Murchison and John
ston in a joint statement announced
that "in keeping with well-laid and
carefully integrated plans, both or
CARNATIONS will Engage during the
coming year in their greatest pro-
grams to increase the consumption of
American-grown and American-man-
ufactured cotton.
The promotion campaign was
never lore timely. Within recent
days the Department of Agriculture
has announced a crop in excess of
IL, 100000 bales. In view of present
domestic consumption of slightly less
than eight million bales and an export
outlook not in excess of two million
bales, it is obvious that domestic
consumption must be increased by
more than two and a half million
bales if equality is to be maintained,
IN the present basis, as between pro-
duction and sale.
THE Institutes program is being
financed by voluntary contributions
by mills of two cents a bale on their
consumption; the Councils by volun-
tary contributions of five cents a
bale by raw cotton interests. While
the total sum from these sources will
be small as compared with coopera-
tive appropriations by other indus
tres, it is highly significant as a new
peak OF cotton promotional effort.
I'VE have now taken the final step
of achieving necessary coordination
and unity to give maximum power
10 the efforts of these two great
branches of the American cotton
industry"
