civilian distress on an emergen-
c. basis in areas which had suf-
fered from bombing or other at
t; ckS.
Pepper said the measure
would apply to civilians in the
continental United States, Alas
ka, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands. The Presi-
dent also would be authorized
to extend the benefits to other
areas outside the United States
and make them retroactive to
December 7, when the United
SITES entered the war.
Thus, the Florida senator said,
if the President chose to do so
he could make possible the pay
ment of disability or death BEN
efits to citizens injured or kill
oi in the Japanese conquest of
the Philippine Islands.
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) has
sought to narrow the bill, how
ever, and to limit its operations
largely to the continental United
States.
AS now provided, the widow
of citizen killed or detained
by the enemy could receive
monthly compensation ranging
from $50 to $85, depending on
t, G number of her children.
Disability payments to injur-
ed persons would range from
So to S85 a month, depending
on the extent of injuries, but
no payments would be made for
less than one-third disability.

RommeI Drives
Toward Egypt
British Fall
Back in Desert
BY EDWARD KENNEDY


CAIRO, June 10 - (P) The
British fell back to fortified po-
Sitions near the Egyptian from
tier today, leaving the famous
fortress of Tobruk all but sur
rounded by Marshal Erwin
Rommers German and Italian
divisions.
Only a coastal road remained
open to link Tobruk with the
Egyptian border 80 miles east
ward.
Apparently British Gen. Neil
NJ Ritchie's eighth army split
into two forces, one remaining
TO man the defenSes of Tobruk
against imminent onslaught or a
siege such as that which endur-
ed for nearly eight months in
l941.
British forces still we're on the
pcrimeter of Tobruk'S south and
southwest defenses, where they
n rIed back repeated AXIS as
saultS last year and where they
stood when relieved by a Brit
iSh westward offensive on Dec.
10, 1871.
Thus the situation now was
almost the same as that during
the long siege.
Allied air squadronS, support
ing the ground forces, were de-
clared to have broken all rec
ords for bombing and strafing
as the enemy moved eastward
and the British pulled out Of Ell
Adem and Sid ReZegh.
The desert trails were litter
ed with vehicles wrecked or
burned by the Allied pilots.

Our Splendid Banks

Last week published reports of the banking in
stitutions of the county and all in mighty fine
condition. Looking back over files of year
when the reports published learn that every
bank in the county has shown an increase over year
ago. and has been steady increase throughout the
year. This seems somewhat unusual-n fact it is a
little difficult understand when is taken into
sderation that hundreds of citizens residing in the
county year ago. away also the fact that
hundreds of soldiers, in the armed forces when
year ago they in the county, all earning
less money. In many places there defense fac
tories, with the thousands of workers drawing big
wages, and it readily be why banks there
show increases; but all of the defense work in this
county, amounts to but very little, that is rot to be
considered having anything do with the healthy
showing of our banks
it too be remembered that during the past year
thousands of dollars have been put into savings
bonds When take into consideration all these
things it quite remarkable that the banks have
shown such steady, substantial growth during the
past year. 1t must be because the farmers and
chants and people in general prosperous
than they may fully realize.
While speaking of banks, let us not forget that
there is sort of business called upon by the govern
ment to do more along win-the-war efforts than the
banks and it is all done gratis.
