Travel to Alaska
Banned By Order
Of Army Command

SAN FRANCISCO, June 80. (UP)
ALL unnecessary travel to Alaska
will be banned after July 10, and
strictest control exercised over all
persons seeking to enter or leave
the territory, 1t. Gen. John L. De-
Witt head of the western defense
command, announced today.
The step is the result of joint ac-
ton by the western defense COM
mand fourth army, and the Alaska
defense command.
After July 10 all civilians wishing
to enter Alaska will be required to
have a permit issued by the COM
manding general, western defense
command and fourth army.
Persons wishing to leave Alaska
must have a similar permit signed
by the commanding general of the
Alaska defense command. Only ex-
ceptions are children l6 years of age
or less, accompanied by parents or
guardians.
Dewitt has created the Alaska
travel control office, with head
quarters in the Exchange Building
Seattle, Wash, to which applica-
tions must be made for permits.
Reasons for granting permits are
official business of the u S. govern
ment; definitely arranged Legitimate
employment; business reasons: re-
turn of bona fide Alaska residents;
close domestic relationship or school
interests.

SENSE WITH
ROMANCE
(Palo Alto Times)

(Palo Alto Times)
1t seems that the Ulster girls and the
American soldiers on duty over there
have struck up acquaintanceshipS that
have gone quite far, so very far, in fact,
that various measures have been taken
to discourage marriage between them.
One of the first to speak in a restrain
ing tone was the Rt. Rev. Daniel Mageen,
Roman Catholic bishop of Down and
Connor. A letter prepared for reading
in all churches of this diocese warns the
Ulster girls that they would have to spend
three years in the United States before
acquiring citizenship status here, that
they would not be allowed to accompany
their husbands home on transports, that
there would be insufficient money on the
soldiers pay to provide proper support,
and that any girl there who marries an
American soldier would have to expect
to be left behind like the wives in the
United States
Scores of Protestant clergymen in Ul-
ster are refusing to Officiate at weddings
of expeditionary soldiers and local girls
unless they have army permission, which
it has been limited, will not be granted on
the grounds that the troops must not be
encumbered with wives. Canadian mill
tary authorities have already ordered that
soldiers must give three months notice
and have at least $160 in their pay books
before marriage to British girl will be
permitted.
Such advice, warnings and regulations
may not seem romantic to the young
folks. But they are rooted in stern, prac-
tical sense. And after all, unless there
is firm foundation of practical sense
for any marital union, the romance itself
has slight chances of survival

Americans Arrive
On Desert Front

LONDON, June 80. UP)-British
press dispatches from Cairo asserted
today that thousands of United
States troops, new army air corps
crews and planes and large guam
titles of American equipment had
arrived in Egypt TO reinforce the
eighth army.
A Daily Mail special dispatch, re-
porting the arrival OF the air corps
planes and personnel, said that
still more American aerial reinforce
ments were being rushed TO the
Egyptian zone.
Reports from Egypt continued to
tell only of Irresistible Axis pres
sure and a gradual British with
drawal to some line east of Matruh
where, II the offensive of German
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel con-
tinues eastward, a frontal defense
might be offered to defend Alexan-
dria, base of the Mediterranean
fleet, and SueZ.
Already there has been talk here
that the British might have TO de-
stroy up TO $50, 1000 900 in high quail
ity Egyptian cotton, the worlds
largest stock, in a scorched-earth
bonfire if the Germans actually
threaten Alexandria.
II was evident that the British
needed reinforcements and it was
said that If they did not arrive
as some predicted-they must fal
back to Alexandria or beyond.

TOMORROW'S TRAVEL

(ChlcagO SUM
At meeting in Chicago the other day,
Eugene Wilson. president of the United
Aircraft Corporation, got to talking
about the shape of things to come.
1--WE are inclined to think" he said,
''of the striking power of aircraft as its
primary function. The fact is that its
utility value as transportation already
is superseding it's attack function"
Among the revolutionary developments
which are we'll along, Wilson mentioned
the helicopter. He said that the famous
Russian designer, Igor Sikorsky, had at
last perfected helicopter which could
rise and descend vertically, alighting on
almost any roof; go forward, backward
or sideways-and even hover in one spot
to let faster plane pass, precisely as
automobiles approaching a through boule-
ward wait for open spots.
The thought of zooming off to work,
so or 100 miles distant, the stick in one
hand and breakfasts unfinished toast in
the other, almost staggers our magma
ton Almost, but not quite. We remem-
ber way back to the time when folk said
no horseless carriage would ever go 20
miles an hour and stay in one piece.

MORE RATlONlNG

Price Controller Leon Henderson says
there are Is more rationing programs
which may be enacted within the next
year or So He refused to tell what they
might be, but served notice that the out
look for consumers is very bad
The consumers, we think, will not
complain, if by facing hardships they
can help win the war. But word of
caution seems in order.
Practically all the criticism to date on
any consumer restrictions has arisen
. from lack of explanations. In any new
rationing program, no matter what COM
modify is affected, it would seem wise
for the government to issue simple, con-
else, clearly worded explanation of why
rationng is necessary. If that were done,
without long-winded exhortations and
glittering verbal trimmings which only
! confuse the issue, we'll wager there would
be unanimous willing acceptance, and
full compliance on the part of everyone.

RommeI's Drive Slows

CAIRO. June 80 (UP) British
empire mobile forces battled des-

against superior numbers, attack

situation is satisfactory"
He said he was in constant con-
tact with British diplomatic and

while Axis forces had arrived in
the area west of Fuka, there still
were British forces south of Mat
rub, or about 40 miles to the west.
20 MILE BATTLE
Here British motorized forces
were striking at enemy formations
in an attempt to slow Rommel.
The present battle ground was
in an area extending eastward,
which is 10 miles wide at Matruh
and SO miles wide at Fuka, the
corridor between the coast and the

MAKE UP YOUR MIND
AND STICK TOIT

1t wasn't more than month ago that
a majority of Americans were clamor-
ing for a concentration of Allied striking
power in one place to deliver knockout
blow to the Axis
Today, reacting to the crest OF the
news, majority of Americans (and Brit
ish. tool are blaming the military and
naval commanders for not having enough
men and materials in Libya and Egypt
to checkmate Rommel.
The sad truth is that lot of US make
up our minds on the war from day to day,
and change from day to day, according
to where the most sensational engage
ments are being fought When Singapore
fell, we blamed the British for not having
enough men there. When Burma went
down, it was in Burma that we thought
the British should have been smart
enough to concentrate their men. Now
it's Egypt, and lot of us are saying that
the British were pretty dumb for not
having had more men in Libya.
Let's make up our minds
If we want to keep strong forces scat
tered all over the globe, the chances are
we can make good showing on the bat
tlefields, and delay our own eventual VIC
tory couple of years because we won't
have strength enough in one place to
strike with sufficient force when the
time comes If we want to do that, OF
course, We shall continue to allow the
enemy to choose his ground for the fight,
because he can leave token forces in some
places and concentrate in others.
If we want to concentrate our own
men and arms for stunning blow
against the enemy on one single 'front.'
a blow which very we'll might end the
war-we've got to expect defeats on the
fronts we must, perforce, leave weakened.
We've got to play game of checkers,
sacrificing men here and there-some of
them kings, too, in order to maneuver into
position for the final onslaught. If the
enemy can keep US scattered all over the
board, our chances of winning are re-
duced to minimum
War is not day to day business. 1t
takes weeks, even months, to group
whole army where it is needed The news
of next month is being written right now,
but we cannot see it because if it were
in plain view the enemy could see 1t, too.
Last month, when Rommel was taking
beating in Libya, he was preparing for
this months successes. This month, when
we are taking beating in the desert,
perhaps it is our side which is planning
next months successes.
In our criticism, let us always remem-
Der that we should make allowances for
the things we do not know.

Japs Concentrate
Troops on Formosa
For New Campaign
Ry ROBERT p. MARTIN

CHUNGK1NG, June 30. tUP)-
Japan has concentrated $4,000 TO
go, 900 troops used in the Philippine
campaign on FormoSa, the island
off the southeast China coast on
the route from the Philippines to
Tokyo a spokesman of the Chinese
army headquarters said today.
The spokesman added it was not
known where the troops were to be
assigned, but said large Japanese
garsisons in China proper had not
been transferred to Manchuria,
where many observers believe an
offensive against Russia soon may
be launched by the Japanese.
One inference was that Allied
possession of Formosa at some fu-
ture date when the counteroffensive
against the Japanese gets underway,
would seriously menace both Japan
proper and her communication
lines to Burma, Malaga and the
Netherlands East Indies.
FIGHTING CONTINUES
The spokesman reported bitter
fighting on the western slopes OF
the Taihang mountains in soothern
Snansi province between Chinese
goerilla outfits and japanese troops
operating from bases at Changchis,
Kaopeng and Chingcheng. On the
eastern slope three other columns
of Japanese were liquidated with
the fall of Linshien several days
ago.
Earlier announcements said the
Chinese inflicted at least 10000
casualties. in two and a half weeks
of fighting in the Linshien area,
at one time overcoming the enemy
by rolling rocks down the steep
walls of a pass as troops tried to
move through.
The japanese drive in Kiangsi
province has slowed somewhat, but
the spokesman said the enemy might
be planning to move into Fukien
province soon because "Fukien might
be used for air bases from which
to lombard Japan proper"
BEST BASE LOST
Control of air bases in Chekiang
province inspire the japanese drive
south from Hangchow that culmi-
mated last week in the capture of
Lishui, rated the best base in east
China from which Allied bombers
could have taken off for Tokyo,
the spokesman said.
Japanese efforts to drive east
from KWeiki, in Kiangsi province,
and close the gap on the Nanchang-
Hangchow railroad still were being
repulsed in bitter fighting, and the
spokesman said the length of the
line still held by the Chinese was
ITO kilometerS 1920 niles.
L. F.. Tsiang, a government spokes-
man, discussing the meeting in
Washington of President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill, said
"The realism and confidence of the
two leaders and the admirable COM
prehensiveness of their outlook is
much appreciated here"
The United Nations, he said, un-
doubtedly have enough material and
human resources to offset Axis at
tempts to reach military decision
in the next few months and 1T is
our common task to see that these
resources are applied at the right
time in the right places"

Churchill Tells
Change in Egypt

LONDON, June 80 (UP) = Prime
Minister Winston Churchill reveal
ed in commons today that Gen.
Sir Claude Auchinleck, commander
in chief in the Middle East, had
relieved Lieut. Gen Neil M. Ritchie
Of the eighth army command and
himself assumed the job of stop
ping the German drive through
Egypt.
Preparing to defend himself in
a two-day full-dress war debate in
the commons, Churchill entered
the house for the first time since
his return from his visit to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and was greeted
by cheers from all sides of the
house
Imperial Valley press., 1942-06-30

AS he revealed The change in
command, and said that it had the
governments full approval, it also
was announced that Sir Miles
LampSon, British ambassador to
Egypt, has been authorized within
the last few days to give Egypt
additional assurances" be yond
those given last week, when Britain
pledged its determination to repulse
Axis aggression in Egypt.
Faced with the new development
of the fall of Matruh, following
Immediately on the disaster of TOb-
ruk, Churchill appeared in his
usual confident mood.
OTHER LOSSES
Entering into action as soon as
the session started, he said in be-
half of the government that he
had received various reports from
Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell, COM
mander in Chief in India, regard
ing the loss of Malaga and Singa-
pore.
He added that these reports were
the result of the collection of ma
terial at his direction, and that they
were unsuitable for publication in
war time
This statement, in answer to a
question by Richard R. Stokes, la
Dor, one of his critics, brought a
new burst of cheers.
Churchill then announced that
Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck, COM
manding the British empire forces
in the Middle East, had assumed
personal command of the eighth
army in Egypt in succession to 1t.
Gen. Neil NJ. Ritchie.
ACTED ON OWN
He revealed that Auchinleck had
acted on his own initiative to re-
move Ritchie and himself assume
the responsibility for the fate of
Egypt.
"As soon as Gen. Auchinleck in
formed the government of his de-
cision," Churchill said, "he was i'm
mediately told that he had the gov
ernment's approval
The news was no surprise. 1t had
come Saturday in a United Press
dispatch from South Africa, which
has thousand of men in the Egyp-
tian battle and had received the
word direct
In an exchange with Stokes on
the Malaga and Singapore cam
paigns, Churchill said that Wa
vell's reports would cause a great
deal of i'll will throughout the Brit
ish empire"
NO OTHER STATEMENT
He refuted Stokes suggestion
that it was understood that he
would make further statement on
Malaga and Singapore when he had
received Wavells reports.
Il have no statement to make,
based on these documents, at pres
ent," Churchill said.
He then added:
Il do not propose to make any
statement today regarding the mo-
mentOus battle now being fought in
Egypt, but 1 feel that the house
would wish to know that Gen.
Auchinleck has decided to assume
command of the eighth army per-
sonally in succession to Gen. Rit-
chic"
