Giving Brief Respite

The Weather Bureau predicted
this morning that today will be a
little hotter than was yesterday be-
fore a 4-o'clock thunderstorm sent
the mercury scuttling down from 80
to 72 degrees.
Anticipating no shower today, the
experts also expect that tonight will
be Slightly warmer" The mercury
stood at IS last midnight and "A at
8 am. today.
Before yesterdays heat was
broken a 14-year-old boy drowned
while swimming in the Anacostia
River near Eleventh Street Bridge.
The victim was Weldon Darnney,
2649H Sheridan street Sc. His
body was recovered early today by
harbor police.

autos damaged.
lightning struck wires near the
Friendship Heights car barn, and
the charge flashed inside, putting a
transformer out of commission for
a time. Rainfall during 4S minutes
totalled AT of an inch.
Because radio transmission was
affected by the electrical storm, all
police scout cars were called to their
precincts, and their operators kept
in touch with the central dispatcher

ROMMEL in EGYPT:
Fluid Fighting

In the battle for Egypt, Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel, director of
the Axis drive toward Suez, struck
at the British eighth army with the
full weight Of three armored divi-
sions backed by artillery and infan-
try.
/ The first major British stand in
Egypt, Is miles west of Matruh, was
by-passed early by mechanical
units. The Nazi high command an
nounced in a special communique
the "storming" of Matruh. The Axis
striking force was aimed at Alexan-
dria, 1855 miles away and the Suez
canal beyond. Seriousness of the sit
uation was evidenced by the fact that
Nazi and Italian forces were within
100 miles of the fertile Nile valley,
where 98 per cent Of Egyptians live.
| The British communique stated
that Enemy forces which have by
passed our position west Of Matruh
were met by our battle troops. Some
or our armored forces attacked
enemy forces west Of Matruh."
An italian communique said the
Axis army had reached position
on the coast road about 10 miles
beyond Matruh and that several hum
dred prisoners were captured.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
"A CROSS SECTION
THE CORPORAL was italian,
son Of the New York city ghetto.
He had practically no education. His
father was a pushcart fruit peddler,
but the son was intensely American.
The private first class was a fine
looking, outstanding youth from a
Minnesota Norwegian farm home.
He was a graduate Of a Northfield,
MINI, college.
The two were practically insep-
arabic. They were "buddies." For
four months, while their outfit was
stationed in my town, had seen
them at frequent intervals. To me
they typify the American army Of
today-an army of clean-cut, cour-
teous young men. They represent
all the nationalities of which the
American people are composed.
While they represent all social
classes, they recognize no class 9TH
er than merit as soldier. I'm
doubtedly there are men in the
army who, in civilian life, would
show a vicious turn, but such a turn
is not often displayed in the army.
Men of the type of my young Nor
wegian friend predominant. Ours
is an army of high standards, of
dauntless youth, embarked on
great adventure.
We of our town had learned to
love the boys of that army unit dur
ing the four months they were with
us. They had been welcome visi-
tors at our homes. We came to
think of them as sons, brothers or
nephews. They had a real place in
our hearts.
Then came the orders that took
them away. To where or to what,
we did not know, nor did they. All
the people Of the town assembled at
the station to bid them good-by. We
watched those boys, with happy,
smiling faces, with no evidence of
a care in the world, climb aboard
the cars. There was lump in the
throat Of each of the towns people,
a tear in each eye.
To the boys it was but another
step, on the road to great adventure,
a chance to see what lay beyond the
next hill. OF a fear of to where or
to what, there was not a single
trace. Give such an army the need
ed equipment and it cannot be de-
feated. It win bring victory for
America. 1t is our part to provide
the equipment. They will not fail
us; we must not fail them.

SABOTEURS:
Major Failure

A dramatic story Of attempted
Nazi sabotage in the United States
was unfolded by FBI agents who
rounded up eight master sabo-
teurs trained by Nazi experts and
landed by rubber boats from two
submarines at Amagansett beach,
Long Island, and Ponte Vedra
beach, Fla.
The four Germans who landed at
Amagansett beach rowed ashore In
the early hours of the morning after
the submarine had crept within 800
yards Of the beach. From caches IN
the beach sands, FIJI men recov-
cred huge stores of powerful explo-
sives buried by the men when they
landed. Approximately $l7O,0OO IN
American currency was carried by
the Nazi agents to pay accomplces.
Detectives assigned to the men In
cluded the bombing Of Hell Gate
railroad bridge, the bombing OF all
bridge approaches to New York
city, bombing Of the New York wa
ter supply lines ana the plaStlng Oh
other vital detectives.
Each of the agents was provided
with many types Of forged creden-
tials, including social security cards
and selective service cards. Their
travelling bags were equipped with
secret compartments for money and
documents.
A sequel to the story came with
the arrest of several accomplices of
the eight men, some Of whom are
regarded as associates Of the Nazi
agents who may have intended to
take part in the sabotage effort. Two
Of the accomplices were arrested in
Chicago.

Silence Broken

Americas strict seal Of wartime
silence on production of materials
for fighting the war was broken by
President Roosevelt when he dis
closed figures which as he put It,
would not give "aid and comfort"
to the enemy.
In fact, these production figures
would likely have the opposite eff
feet according to most Washington
observers, for 1t was revealed that
in May, u. S. factories produced
nearly 1000 planes, 1900 tanks,
1000 artillery and anti-tank guns,
$4,000 machine guns and about Sc, 900
sub-machine guns.
The White House announcement Of
these figures came at the close Of
the Churchill Roosevelt conferences
and indicated that the strategy of
the war had progressed to a point
where definite plan was develop
ing. This meant the problem now
resolved itself into providing a
method for getting these huge sup
plies being turned out in the U. S.
to the second front; how to con-
tinue the flow Of supplies to Russia
and how to even still more speed
up the output of American ma
chimes.

CCC:
Lease on Life

In a dramatic move, Vice Presi-
dent Henry A. Wallace came to the
aid Of the Civilian Conservation
corps and with his vote broke SEN
ate tie to give at least a temporary
lease on life to the seemingly
doomed CCC.
BY vote of 81 to 80, the senate
approved an appropriation Of $780,
529, 300 for CCC financing during the
l94S fiscal year. Previously the
house had voted to liquidate the
agency, one of the earliest New Deal
ventures.
House-senate differences will have
to be ironed out in conference on
the bill appropriating 81, 1857, 498, 426
for the labor department, Federal
Security administration and related
agencies. This bill contains CCC
funds.
The senate was tense as the roll
call vote was taken on the CCC is
sue. The first call showed that 28
members favored continuation of
the CCC; "a members were OPP
posed. The vote emerged 80 to 80
in a recapitulation. Then, from the
chair, Vice President Wallace an
nounced that the vote was tie, and
added:

tive"

NON-ESSENTIAL ACTIVITIES
OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

AS lNDlCAlIvE OF the aLLlCuQe
of the American people, congress is
being deluged with protests against
unnecessary expenditures for the
civil activities of the federal gov
eminent. These protests come from
such organizations as service clubs,
farmers and stock raisers, small
business men, patriotic societies,
churches, and many others, as well
as from hundreds of thousands of
individuals. They demand the stop
ping Of appropriations for CCC,
AAA, WPA, NYA, SCS, all aesthetic
and cultural programs, river and
harbor work not needed as war
measure, and all other activities not
essential to continuance of the
absolutely necessary operation Of
civil government. Opposed to these
demands are the lobbyists of minor
ity groups, and so far congress has
largely listened to those lobbyists.
The American voter will answer
in November.
LABOR BOSSES
AND u. s. RURAL FOLK
LABOR ORGANIZATION bosses
have found rural America-people

bling block in their efforts to achieve
many of their nefarious purposes.
In California they propose an
amendment to the state constitution
as means Of overcoming this rural
opposition. Under the present con-
stitution, each county in the state
elects one state senator. That gives
the rural counties at least veto
power. The state federation of Ia
Dor is proposing an amendment that
would place the election of state SEN
ators on a population basis. That
would mean control of the senate in
the cities, and organized labor
bosses feel they can control the
cities. The purpose back of il all
is to obtain legislation that will
force the farmer to employ union
labor in the production and market
ing of his crops. If it can be done

SUGAR RATIONS:

A moderate increase in sugar ra-
tons possibly half a pound per

in the hands of consumers is SO per
cent less than q year ago. Stocks
held by primary distributors and
20 per cent below 1941 and, total
sugar stock on hand is one-third
less than at this time last year.
Final decision on the ration in.
crease depends largely upon pros
poets of sugar shipments from Puer.

six months. In addition, the deci-
