dispatch dated Zagreb, Croatia, to-
day which said that the Italian
government had found it necessary
to place the entire Croatian coast
from Fiume to Montenegro under
Italian military occupation.
tStockholm dispatches two days

have come from Berlin, where it
was admitted that Italy had been
negotiating to extend her garrison
area in Croatia.
(Other reports recently have said
that Croatia was gripped by guerilla
warfare. 1t was reported that Ante
Pavelich, head of tie Croat govern
ment, had warned Benito Mussolini
that the Duke of Spoleto, designated
King Aimone I of Croatia, should
not attempt to enter the country.

Byrd Turns Own
Fiqures on FDR in
Defense Dispute

The president corrects my esti-
| mate of four Comm. guns monthly
and said the program calls for 81
monthly for the balance of the
year" Byrd said The future pro-
duction is of course problematical.
but whether four or 81 Comm. guns
are produced monthly for the rest
of the yea, either figure is woe
fully inadequate, considering our
great need for this particular pro-
tective implement"
He said that since he stated that
no tanks had been sent to England
he learned that about 200 light 12-
ton tanks were sent to Africa for
British use, but he reiterated that
not one medium 32-ton tank had
been sent the British anywhere and
not a single heavy Cotton tank is
on order.
Byrd added that even with Mr..
Roosevelt's reliance on future pro-
duction," either set of figures on
other items such as 37-mm. anti
tank guns and 8l-mm. mortars
showed "a dangerous delay in the
production of very essential equip
ment."
The fact remains that the dis
crepancies the president mentions
are minor in consequence" Byrd
said. Taking the presidents state
ment from the best standpoint. we
are not preparing our defense
quickly; we are not giving the aid
we should TO England. Something
constructive must be done immed-
lately"
Pointing out that the president
did not challenge his figures on
plane production, Byrd said that
July production fell 200 short of the
1856 schedule.
Our production is far less than
OefmanyS monthly combat plane
production, in fact about one-third
CT the German monthly production
as estimated by some government
sources" Byrd said Fighting air
planes are the first line of defense
of this country, and they are the

Prices

WASHINGTON, Aug. % CUP)-.
Price Control Administrator Leon
Henderson today set ceiling prices
on Pennsylvania grade crude oils
at levels prevailing before the re-
cent 25-cent a barrel increase.
Henderson said that acceleration
of defense activity and civilian in
duStry had stimulated demand for
high-grade lubricants Ito an alb
normal degree
This pressure on supplies of
Pennsylvania grade crude oils has
been reflected in a series of price
increases aggregating about so per
cent over the past nine months
and quotations currently are at or
near the highest levels in 10 years"
Henderson asserted.
The schedule set a ceiling price of
S2.75 a barrel on Bradford crude;
s2.40 a barrel for southwest Penn
sylvania crude; s2,34 a barrel for
Eureka crude. and $3.50 a barrel
for southeastern Ohio crude. Top
prices for various qualities produced
between Oil City and Titusville, Pa,
range from S263 to $3.50 barrel.
Henderson said Petroleum Co.
originator Harold Ickes approved the
maximum price schedule.
Production of Pennsylvania crude
oil approximates 10000 barrels a
day or about two per cent of the
total daily output of crude oil n
the United States.
