CARS AND TIRES
PLUS RATiONING
{ Riverside Press

NANIN L 1851
There is surprising amount of talk
about the automobile problem. We talk
it from morning to night, and dream
about it during the midnight hours.
1t might be supposed from some of
the talk, even in high official quarters,
that the self-respecting citizen who has
had a pretty decent car and has kept it in
good condition, including the tires, is
malefactor who should have his sole
means of transportation confiScated on
general principles. A certain California
senator seems to have such an idea.
1t has never been. and is not now, a
crime or a social offenSe for a citizen to
own an automobile And mention of this
fact need not imply that an owner is lack
ing in patriotism. The average car-owner,
who might also be called an average
American, is willing to do anything neces-
sary to win this war, even if it involves
deprivation of the use of his car But the
owner will properly want to know at
every important step, just how and why
these contributions to the common cause
are necessary, and whether any particu-
lar sacrifice is logical and fair.
In the matter of tires, for instance, car
owners who have bought good tires and
taken good care of them, and latterly
have driven as little as possible and that
at 40 per" but still need their cars for
transportation, naturally do not like
loose talk about their tires being taken
with or without fair compensation-and
the car left lacked up in the garage.
They are wondering, too, about the fair
ness of gasoline limitation in many areas.
People will doubtless be patriotic, even
about their cars But they will want to
know that in any given case they are be-
ing treated fairly.

Nazis Plan Final
Rites for Hangman

LONDON, June sup - The
Nazis prepared princely funeral
for their ace terrorist today, while
surviving Gestapo henchmen franti-
cally hunted patriot -parachutists
they feared had landed in Czecho-
Slovakia to take general VEN

A Vichy report said that Rein

last Friday, rather than yesterday
morning, but the GeStapo kept his
death a secret for six days in hopes
of capturing the slayers.
The body of Heydrich was borne
in solemn ceremony from Bulow-
ka hospital where he died yester-
day morning, to Prague citadel,
where it lay in state, the German
official news agency said. A state
funeral, expected to exceed in mag

Nazi, will be held in Berlin.

Jap Sub Attacks
In Diego Suorez

LONDON, June CUP) - An
admiralty communi lie revealed to-
day that an enemy submarine had
attacked Diego Suarez harbor, in
Madagascar Oil the southeast coast
of Africa, May 80 but denied Jap
aneSe reports that a British battle
ship and a cruiser had been dam
aged.
There were no casualties in His
Majesty's ships" the communique
said 1T is not intended TO give
the enemy an" information regard
ing details as this would assist them
in future operations of similar ma
ture."
Japan in an Imperial headquar-
terS communique had claimed that
a battleship of the Queen Elizabeth
class was damaged by a Japanese
special" submarine attacking Di-
ego Suarez May 81.
Apparently a further claim had
been made of damage to a cruiser
of the Arethusa class, for the ad-
miralty said no damage had been
done to ships of either type.

Daylight Sweeps
Blast Nuzi Bases

LONDON, June 5 (UP) British
fighter and bomber planes swept
back and forth across the Channel
today in a shuttle offensive on
northern France.
Two major sweeps, engaging
hundreds of planes, were carried
out before noon under a blazing
sun and clear sky
A cloud of fighters raced toward
Cape Girls Nez on the French side
at noon in the third big sweep of
the day.
While bad weather kept the great
long range bombers aground dur
ing the night, fighter and coastal
command forces heavily raided oc-
cupied territory and persons along
the English southeast coast heard
the explosion of great bombs on
the French coast.
NO LOSSES

GOOD MEDICINE

(Chlcago SUM
The Treasury departments proposal
to collect part of the income tax in ad-
vance, through pay-envelope deductions
certainly will be a shock to some of us.
But a shock is not always a disaster
Sometimes it is good medicine. 1t hurts
as it hits, but when the sting of it has
faded away the patient may feel so much
better that he is glad it happened.
To some of us who have just pledged
10 per cent or more of our income to the
purchase of war bonds and have just
scraped together the money for the sec
ond installment of last years income tax,
this idea of handing out another 10 per
cent or so may seem like "cruel and unus-
ual punishment be endured in the
name of patriotism and for the sake of
victory. So most of us undoubtedly will
either grin and bear it or bear it without
grinning.
But can't we cheer ourselves up by
thinking about how good we'll be feeling
along about the middle of March next
year, when the income tax will be higher
than ever-but already paid in part?

From then on, fleets of raiding
fighters and light pombers return
ing from France, met fresh squad
rons racing toward the continent
on the attack.
At one time planes criss- crossed
the Channel for two hours and it
was indicated that the days sweeps
would surpasS even the LOCO plane
days earlier this week.
Soon after dawn, fleets of fight
er planes, and hurricane fighters
newly equipped with bomb racks
crossed the straight along with
light bombers for new day of
raids on airdromes, anti-air de-
fenses and factory and railroad

Reports from coastal watchers
indicated that hundred of planes

Attack


CAIRO, June 5-CUP) - British
and Indian forces have driven off
an Axis attack ca positions near
Bir Hacheim. 48 miles southwest
of Tobruk on the southern salient
CT the British Libyan desert line.

AS the enemy forces attacked.
the communique said, British and
Indian Imperial columns launched
an assault from the rear. turning
back the Axis forces which were
supported by tanks.
British planes reared overhead
during the action, destroying Axis
dive bombers, poised for an effort
to relieve the increasing pressure
on Col Gen. Erwin Rommel's Axis
desert forces, and bombing and
strafing concentrations of troops.
AXIS FAILURE

attempt to capture the Strcng point
was described as a complete failure.
There was heavy gunfire from
enemy SO millimeter guns but OBJ
servers believed Rommel's Afrika
Korps was preparing to move west
ward again, attempting to escape
from the British entrapment and
striking back whenever possible.
Such actions as were being fought
were inconcluSive west of Bir Hach-

Planes Sink Two
Japanese Subs In
Australian Action

MELBOURNE, June 5 CUP) -
Allied planes have sunk two and
probably thlfte Japi ! ese submn-
rines found prowling il. the ship
ping lanes off the Australian east
coast, bringing a five-day toll of
enemy underSea craft to six and
probably seven, Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur announced today.
Planes of a Netherland East In
dies squadron and two Australian
SquadronS. combing thousands of
square miles of ocean along the
States, spotted the three enemy
vital supply route from the United
submarines at widely separated
points
PERFECT SCORE
Two were certainly sunk and the
third probably was sunk for a per-
feet score, Macarthur said in a
special communique late today.
Four enemy submarines were
sunk at Sydney Sunday night. Thus
III five days, in attacks which SO
far was known had resulted in the
sinking of only one merchantmen
and a small eX-ferry boat depot
ship, Japan had paid with at least
six and probably seven submarines.
1t was possible also that more
than four submarines were sunk
at Sydney by the depth charges
which were dropped al over the
harbor and outside it.
Only yesterday Macarthur had
announced the sinking by single
Allied submarine of two heavily
loaded armed enemy supply ships,
one of 5000 and the other of TO-
900 tons and an armed 6,000-ton
transport with thousands of enemy
troops aboard it. A fourth enemy
ship, of 1000 tons, was badly dam
aged.

SHIP PRODUCTION

America broke all records, for all the
world, in ship production during May.
That sounds good But listen.
America produced only one more ship
during the month than was sunk by Axis
submarines during the same period. Our
net gain in shipping tonnage during May
was one ship.
That doesn't sound so good.
Our normal complement of ships IS
not enough to get our war materials
where they've got to 60 IT we just hold
even with normal, We'll be losing ground
in the war. We've got to do two things:
Produce more and more ships and elimi-
nate the submarine menace. Until we do
those things, the mere fact of breaking
records is not going to do us any good
In all honesty, the prospects are for
a sharply rising ship production, far and
above that of May. Whether the pros
poets also are for an early elimination
of the submarine menace is a secret which
cannot be told.
Prospects are not facts, however. 1t
is questionable whether we have enough
ships now to supply big offensive, and
keep it supplied. If we haven't, the Of
fensive will have to wait. That's where
the big trouble comes in.

fighting was reported underway to-
day on the Kalinin front where
Russian troops, steadily pushing the
Germans back, were said to have

Frontline dispatches told CT the

In one sector three German regi-
