q, tire Associated Press.

CAIRO, Egypt. April l2.-Far-
ranging British and German-Italian
armored patrols clashed today in
a wide area west and southwest of
Tobruk while the r. A. F. an
nounced it wrecked nearly 100 axis
tanks and motor vehicles in single
heavy swoop on the road from Ainel
Gazala to Tobruk.
Twenty-Five axis planes also were
destroyed in sharp series of fights.
81 of them being hit on or over
Derna Airport Thursday night, the
r. A. F. added.
Reports from the Libyan desert
said the contact between ground
forces had not yet developed into
battle, but implied that this might
come in defense of Tobruk, which
the British hold and which the Ger
mans are striving to bomb.
Nearness Of Enemy Indicated.
Nearness of the advancing Ger
mans and Italians was indicated by
the r. A. F. exploit on the road
from Ain Ell Gazala, which is only
so miles west of Tobruk, and which
the Italians said they had cap
tured.
Enemy motor transport columns
were heavily attacked by a COM
bined force of bomber and fighter
aircraft" the communique said. 1T
is estimated that nearly 100 We
hicles we're destroyed or damaged
and many casualties we're inflicted"
A German interceptor plane was
destroyed there.
Australian flyers were given a
share of the credit, while Free
French pilots participated in the
Derna raid.
Besides the 16 Messerschmitts
wrecked at Derna, a big Junkers
bomber was destroyed as it tried to
take off. a Heinkel and Junkers
troop transport and two other
planes were downed in combat, and
hangers and supply dumps at that
port were blown up, the r. A. F.
reported.
Tobruk Raiders Shot Down.
In addition, two German bomb
ers raiding Tobruk were shot down
and an Italian plane was blasted
into the sea go miles north of Alex
andria, Egypt.
The South African air force
meanwhile pressed the cleanup of
Ethiopia, announcing it destroyed
six Italian planes on the ground at
Gimna Airport and shot down two
of the planes which came up to
combat the raiders.
Two German planes were re-
ported destroyed when they raided
the British Mediterranean fortress
of Malta, with several italian planes

By JAMES FREE.

The Government is determined
that prices will not get out of
hand" in this emergency as they did
in the World War, and it has been
successful to large degree in con-
troll efforts so far because of its con-
centration on the supply factor,
Leon Henderson, head of the newly
formed defense Office of Price Ad-
ministration and Civilian Supply
declared yesterday.
Mr.. Henderson pointed out at
press conference that sharp rises
in industrial production in the past
always have been accompanied by
corresponding upturns in prices.
He cited Federal Reserve Bank
indices showing that since the de-
fense program began last May, the
Nations production index has risen
from 110 to about 145, while its COM
modify price index has increased
only from 78 to 81.
Nothing like that has ever taken
place in this country before" he
said. Attention to the supply fac
tor has been primarily responsible :"
Price Control Formula.
Mr.. Henderson said he had been
convinced for long time-through
his own experience and counsel of
men like Bernard Baruch, who
headed the World War Industries
Board-that the essential thing in
maintaining stable level of prices
is not so much actual price fixing
as regulation of supply and capacity
in various commodity fields.
Stressing the relationship, he as
serted that smooth increases in pro-
duction capacity are dependant to
large extent on price stability. Un-
certainty of future prices of raw
materials, ETC., naturally would make
many manufacturers hesitate to
make long term contracts, he ex-
planned.
If the United States is to fulfil its
projected defense plans, it must step
up the amount made available for
defense and lease-lend production
purposes from about S25 100000, 900
to between $4,000, 100000 and $43,-
600 ,000, 900, Mr.. Henderson asserted.
The additional SIS ,000, 900 900 to $18,-
100000 900 must be expended in the
next fiscal year, he added.
This can be done partly by in
creasing the total national income,
he said, and partly by curtailing
normal civilian industrial activities.
AS the present national income is
about 100000, ,000, 900, the suggested
increase in defense production ex-
penditures would make defense costs
nearly half of the national income
next year, unless the total income is
increased.
Prices in Various Fields Watched.
Mr.. Henderson declared his agency
has no immediate plans for moving
in" and establishing ceiling prices on
additional commodities, but that it
is closely watching prices in the fol-
lowing fields: Paper, textiles, steel,

PITTSBURGH, April l2-Prompt-

some Pittsburgh steel producers took

orator said he would close three

Coke still burning in some ovens
will be a complete loss, and it will
take five to 10 days to work the
ovens up to their intense heat once
soft coal starts rolling in again.

Nine outsiders monopolized the first
running this afternoon of the Ray

co-feature of the 21st annual Mid

One outsider, Goldun, big bay,
quoted as high at ISL, was the gall

The other outsiders were men,

County police forces. They made
an unexpected business trip to the
course, just before post time, and
nabbed six bookmakers doing the
quoting on Goldun and the others
in the field Several other wager
taking brethren, showing surprising
speed on the fat, evaded "the law"
The net result Of all this was that
hackers of Goldun didn't collect their
