weight five tons per load above the
actual weight when he filled in the
certificate.
The haulers displayed the Whit
low weight ticket to San Bernar-

izer for Sc a ton, the raised weight
figure making it possible for them
to collect $50 a load more than they
were entitled to collect, it was ex-

spirits
To prevent any confusion among
the French populace the British
radio broadcast over and over again

France: This is not an invasion =
The warning was intended to avert
a premature uprising by the French
populace and subsequent fierce Nazi
reprisals such as accompanied the
st. Nazaire commando attack.
The force of the attack was in
dicated by the fact that for the first
time the commandoS landed tanks
to support their operations. The
German radio took note of the mag
nitude of the attack. admitting that
the attacking forces had swarmed
ashore and taken up positions from
which they we're not driven immed-
lately by German counterattacks.
Several hundred casualties were re-
ported by the German radio in the
initial phase of the fighting.
In preparation for the descent
of the commandos on the coast
British and American bombers had
attacked key railroad functions be-
hind the invasion area.

conditions caused by high livestock
costs and ceiling prices which they
said threatened them with bank
ruptcy.
The small packers said the mar

inequitable distribution of avail
able meat supplies which threat
ened housewives with meat short
ages in some areas.
They sought to combat the diff
ficulty by:
l. Reducing operations.
2. Reducing the size of the ter
ritory they servie, concentrating in
areas where the March freezing
level was highest.
3. Rationing sales among "old
customer" and refusing deliveries
to new stores.
They sought immediate relief of
the WPB and the OPA. and hoped
this would be in the form of a
general adjustment of the retail
price ceiling or placement of CELL
ing prices on livestock or both If
that was insufficient, they expected
meat rationing.

Boston. July 27-Immediate action will be taken against chislers who will be taken against chiselers who line rationing plan in New England. Kenneth B. Backman, New England Regional OrA Administrator, de- clared today.
 Administrator Backman made 1t plain that the machinery has been made ready to move against viola tors, bringing about prosecutions and invoking the penalties of the regulation.

 Mir. Backman said:
 We have assurances of complete cooperation on the part of the many thousands of gasoline stations in New England, as well as the many oil companies engaged in distribu- ting gasoline, We know we can de- pend on them, not only for complete compliance themselves, but to assist us in submitting any evidence of violation on the part of anyone.
 The police and many other gov- ernment agencies are working with us. The armed forces, the public and legitimate business will be pro- tected from the acts of any chiselers who try to sabotage this vital war effort.

STRAND

Walter Huston, the distinguished American actor who SO eloquently voices the commentary in Our Russian Front" now in its third day at the Strand theater, was very much impressed at the way the So- viet film was cut and edited, and was very happy over the part that he had played in its making. "The film," says MT. Huston, "comes at just the right time" In the face of the present war news 1t is ex- tremely encouraging to know that we have such a great fighting ally as Russia on our side. Huston also felt that Our Russian Front" should be seen by every American as it presents such complete pie turization of 8 nation engaged in an all-out war effort. Our Rus sian Front" does not only concen- trate on the part that the Soviet army Is playing in the gigantic struggle to drive the Nazis from their land Lut also pictures the tre- mendous part the civilian popula- tion is playing in the all-out effort.
 They Raid by Night" the second, flrst-run, first Waterbury showing, feature on the same program, Is a timely drama which may fore shadow coming events in the war with its story of raid on the Nazi occupants of Norway by the British Commandos. Featuring Lyle Tal-. bot and June Duprez, it is a thrill packed epic which shows just how the intrepid British Commandos operate.
