Remember we are only 45 miles from the coast Undoubtedly, there are number of people in our vicin- ity who are interested in our enemies. When they hear of these 20, 30 or 40 people moving from Grenier Field, like group from each of the other fields in our vicin- ity, it is a simple matter to add it up and know that troop move ment is under way. It is then a simple matter for them to get this information to the submarines, and the submarine activity is well known to you.
 In this matter of talking, we must have your help. Every man who delivers milk, who delivers laundry, who carries newspapers, mail, the salvage crew, the telephone man, the electric light man, the butcher, the grocer and the newspaperman-all must help to protect the lives of our soldiers and sailors by keeping any scrap of information relative to the movement of one soldier or sailor tc themselves. There is no other way in which you as 8 single individual

Here is a graphic portrayal of the "why" of all the posters and warn ings we have been seeing on Don't Talk" and Loose Lips Might Sink Ships" In other words why we are urged to maintain a complete black out on all loose talk or repeating rumors. It was written by Col. John I. Moore, Commanding Officer ot Grenier Field, to the merchants of Manchester, New Hampshire.
 ''This letter is being written to you, the merchants of Manchester, in the cause of secrecy. Many ot you people have sons and relatives somewhere in the armed forces to- Gsy. Certainly you are vitally in- terested in the safety of your own sons. And certainly you under stand the dangers being faced by all ships sailing form our ports today Eventually, all of your sons and rel atives in the armed forces must board ship to sail to the wal front. There is no other way of get ting there. There is no other reason for your sons and relatives being ir the army.
 We at Grenier Field are doing al in our power possible to keep the movement of troops a secret iron our enemies. In this we must have your help.
 You as merchants, and we as sol diers, enjoy an extremely fine busi ness relationship. Your service ha! been in every case friendly, and a! far as you could make it, very econ omical. At Grenier Field we fee that the merchants of ManchesteI and vicinity have done splendit job, and this we appreciate. In som' cases the increased business and th' confusion necessary due to trool movement has taxed your facilities But you have met this additiona strain very well.
 There is one more job that we asl you to perform. PLEASE DON'T TALK. By this we mean that whel Sgt. Jones or It. Brown or Capt Smith ask you to discontinue mill delivery or Not to call for tn laundry" or to Please discontinu my telephone service" please do quietly and refrain from telling hi neighbor next door It may happel that 20, 30 or 40 such calls ma come in the same day. It is obviou that 8 group of people are goin somewhere, but PLEASE DON" TALK ABOUT TT. Let's not tell ou enemies.

ORCHAEOLOCIST
 PETRIE IS DEAD

Jerusalem, July 29. v (UP) Sir William Flinders Petrie, 89, British Archaeologist, often called "the re- vealer of ancient Egypt to the mod ern world" died here last night.
 His death at the Government hos pital came after lengthy period of failing health which interrupted his latest series of research and ex- cavations begun eight years ago. His wife was at his bedside.
 Petrie became interested in arch geology in 1875 and published his first book in 1880, a result of his studies of the ancient British re- mains at Stonehenge. A year later he went to Egypt and for the last 61 years specialized on the archaeol- ogical history of that country and Palestine.

 NEW YORK, July 29-The Axis U-boat menace could be relieved within month, said two New York industrial designers, if cargo ships could be armed with depth charges So they have invented new weapon which they believe will do just that.
 The device designed by Jacques Martial and Robert c. Scul, is depth bomb gun which could hurl 80 or pounds of INT up to 1000 yards The hurling mechanism itself is simply the barrel of a 75-mm. gun which has been shortened and from which the rifling has been removed Attached to the depth bomb is stud or handle that fits into the gun barrel for firing.
 GUN IS HIDDEN BELOW DECK
 The gun is mounted on swivel mechanism which is Sountersunk in the deck of merchant ship This makes the weapon invisible to submarines just as were the guns of the first World Wars Q-boats which played havoc with the German submarines.
 Present depth charge throwers, Y-guns hurl their explosives only about 50 or 100 yards. This

WAR PLANTS MAY
 WORK 48 HOURS
May Shorten Working Hours of Some l,5OO,OOO
 of l2,5OO,OOO Employed
BY KILLER KRIEGHBAUM Limited Press Staff COrreSpOndent)

(OLutcu GTeSS Stdu NOITCSpOIuCHCJ
 Washington, July 29 = CUP) - The government-approved policy of a 45-hour work week in war plants may mean shortening of working hours for some 1,500000 of the na- tion's 12,500,000 war production en- ployes, officials estimated today.
 A study of employment figures by the war production board showed that machine tool workers labored an average of 55 hours a week, sev- en more than the recommended AS, and that employees of engine, tur- bine and motor equipment plants worked approximately 51 hours. In the aircraft and shipbuilding in- dustries also the work week was slightly above 48 hours. Shortening of those hours will depend upon the ability to obtain additional workers.
 The statement on a nationwide 48-hour week, which amounted to a policy declaration for all war plants, came from representatives of the war, navy, commerce and labor departments, the WIPE, war manpower commission, public health service and maritime commission.
 Its purpose was to attain the greatest possible output of planes, ships, tanks, guns and munitions for the armed service, and 1t was based on experience with lengthen- ing working hours in wartime Britain.
 The 48-hour week, the agencies agreed, was "the best working schedule for sustained efficiency in most industrial operations" It will 9ot mean a lessening of pay, be- e..,Ise overtime will continue for all -'lS STE7 4S.
 { British Experience
 yhicials cited British experience ! e. back up the policy of six days of eight hours each as the most efficient. Some British plants, they said, increased working hours to 70 but found that fatigue, accidents and increasing absences from work s,eld production to the same leve as attained by 48-hour week.
 To combat the cumulative effects af fatigue, the agencies recommend a one day of rest out of every tsgen, end continued vacations.
 ~Fhe seven-day work week fol Andividuals is injurious to health to production and to morale" tho statement said.
 WIPE labor figures showed that the average American worker wal already on the job more than tht 40 hours previously adopted as thu nations policy. During May, tht average work week was 42.6 hours and the average worker got 83.l cents an hour or a weekly wage of $37.40.
 Oficials of several agencies have been studying effects of lengtheninl work weeks in war plants. and have reported mounting accident rates The National Safety Council sait industrial accidents were increaS' ing because of fatigue brought or by longer hours on the job.
 WIPE officials said there would bt no immediate cutting of hours fol those now working over 4S, because they are usually key men not easily replaced. But as additional skilled workers can be trained, shifts will k~ -A4I,eAA to @ AAE3

 On the initial call, overnight buy ing orders lifted prices as much as 6 points but the gains were quickly scaled on selling by New Orleans and locals. A factor in the easier umdertone was a growing trade ex- pectation for a 1942-43 crop of around 100000 bales.
