IRON FIREMEN'-You might not think
such iron monsters as modern war tanks
would have much peacetime use, but we've
learned there is a real possibility the war
juggernauts on which Uncle Sam is now
doubling production may eventually be put
to some peaceful, if violent, chores. In En-
gland, the science of fire fighting has made
rapid advances under stress Of the blitz.
Now J. W.. Cannors, vice-president in charge
of B.. F. Goodrich's mechanical goods divi-
sion. commenting upon a firsthand report he
received from London on new fire-fighting
technioues. along with a performance re-
port on some 100 miles of fire hose recently
shipped from Akron, said: "A heavily ar
morI tank that can better it way into a
burninp building is a real possibility AS a
fire-fighting machine. The turret of such a
tank would be equipped with hose nozzles
instead of machine guns. and its cannons
would SPRAY fire-deadening chemicals in
stead Of shells" There's a constructive ans
wer to what we might do with orr leftover
military tanks. when and if we have soma

BUYING:
CURLING I,stallments

In an action designed to put a
check on inf1ationary trends in the
nations defense boom, an executive
order was issued by President
Roosevelt which called on the Fed
eral Reserve SYSTEMS governors to
regulate installment buying.
This order gave the Federal Re-
serve virtually complete control
over consumer credits in the coun-
try and will become effective in
about a month.
It was indicated by Mariner S.
Eccles, Federal Reserve board
chairman, that the first steps in the
regulation would not be to prohibit
installment buying, but merely to
control it. This meant that the board
might put through an order regulat-
ing the size of the down payment to
be made and the length of time al
lowed the consumer for repayment
of the credit.
Eccles also said that initial regu-
lation would be issued promptly
following consultation with repre-
sentatives of the trade and financial
institutions affected"

DAKAR:
Reported Maxi Move

A relatively strong Nazi expedi-
tionary force, it was learned in
Washington, has entered Spanish
Morocco by going through Spain and
across the straits of Gibraltar, and
is poised for an entry into Dakar.
This news was coupled by Brig
ham dispatch which declared that
France is believed to have conclud-
ed a full war alliance with Ger
many, calling for industrial, colo
NAL and, eventually, the sending of
men to bolster the Nazi attack upon
Russia.
The Dakar report, impossible of
verification, placed the German
force as fairly large, including 1000
mechanical units including tanks,
and counting at least two panzer
divisions.
They were poised, Washington
heard, for simultaneous thrusts at
Dakar and at French Morocco. The
French commander in this territory
is Maxine Weygand.
This, according to Washington
sources, will be Germany's answer
to the American occupation of Ice
land, and will render this nations
position On the war more ticklish
than ever, because of the policy
statement that any attack on or oc-
cupation of Dakar would be regard
ed as direct blow at this country's
security.

DRAFT:
Extension Fight

The passage by the senate of a
bill providing for an 18-month ex-
tension Of the terms of service of all
men in the army and navy did not
end the battle by any means, nor
did it have the effect of quieting
opposition in the house.
First intimation that this was so
came from administration circles
themselves, with the apparently au-
thorized statement that any extern
sion at all from the house would be
acceptable. 81
When the bill went into the senate,
the first goal of the administration
leaders was for an unlimited extern
sion. The opposition bloc countered
with the Taft bill, calling for six
months; later a vote was taken on
year, and the 18-month provision
was finally passed, by a fairly
strong, though lessened majority.
1t was considered significant that
on the eve of the first test of
strength, house administration lead
ers were admitting that down the
line" fight for the senate 18-month
extension might risk complete de-
feat for the bill.

He is represented in 50 different

From each dollar you spend, he
