listed below is certainly one Of them.
They are building and maintaining morale
here at home and among friendly and allied
nations the world over; they are taking care
of our own needy right here in Detroit-and
in doing these things they do not overlap
any other activity, nor are they covered by
any other contributions.
OF course, all this costs money-a great deal
of tat least S., 900, 900 during the coming

tial to Victory-and to what better use can
we put our money today than to buy Victory

Government by ones friends or by

Attitude Must Be Developed.
Most Government agencies, Mr.

procedures involving paper work in
excessive basic requirements. The
primary cause. he thought. was lack
of sound management principles
with responsibilities not clearly fixed
and commensurate authority not
delegated all the way down to the

But, he said. unnecessary paper

However, he added, in the case of
each surprise drill the Commission

Such orders will not be announced
to the public, but it was thought
they would be necessary to show
that the Commissioners officially
had ordered such tests.
The legal tangle over the official
air-raid signal was Strengthened out
by today's actions of the Commis-
sioners. The old and long since

series of five short blasts sounded
three times, was rescinded and the
Commissioners wrote into the new

Air Vice Marshal Sir Hugh Pughe
Lloyd, who commanded the Royal
Air Force at Malta when the Ger
man Luftwaffe was trying last win
ter and spring to bomb that tiny is
land into extinction, said here today
that the Allies could have Italy out
of the war in no time If we had
enough planes and bases"
"The war has got to start some
where seriously" Sir Hugh said in
an interview arranged by the British
Information Services, here. I'D like
to be sitting in Tunisia myself"
The vice marshal ran his index
finger along map Of the Mediter-
ranean coastline of French North
Africa, of which Tunisia is part.
Need Good Planes.
I'VE need airplanes," he said "as
prelude to starting something
above all, you want fighters and
good ones. If you give the chaps
in the Raj the right airplanes,
they will be on top of the world.
One thing I would like to stress is
the need for quality and not guam
tity in airplanes." Il
Sir Hugh has first-hand ac-
quaintance with Allied prospects and
Axis plans in the whole Mediterra-
mean region as result of his having
commanded the Raj in the Medi-
terranean from May, 194l, to the end
of July.
He expressed the view that Field
Marshal Erwin, Rommel, command
ing Axis forces in North Africa, still
hoped to reach Persia by the end OF
this year from his advanced posi-
tions in Egypt.
''If Rommel gets through, gets
into Iraq and/fran, from where are
you going to get your gasoline?" the
air marshal asked in order to stress
the meaning of the current war in
the Near East.

During the morning. some ON

have such assignments because OF
other emergency responsibilities, and
questions also were raised as to how
officials could make long trips
through town in time to get to their
stations.
One of the new features Of the
general order covers use of fash
lights by air raid wardens and
others authorized to be outdoors
during air raids or practice drills.
The Commissioners ruled that the
light openings of the flashlights
! shall not exceed inch in diameter
| and that they must be covered with
at least three thicknesses of news
paper, "or otherwise equivalently
dimmed."
Further, the Commissioners ruled
that the top of the beam from

Until the new District Blackout
Act became law, the Commissioners
did not have authority to enforce
daylight test regulations and this
subject was covered in the new gen.
eral order. ....
The new general order provides
authority for control over the light
ing of vehicles which may be per-
mitted to be operated during air
raids or drills, by the hooding or
dimming of driving lights, but adop-

regard is being withheld to await

Rommel now is sitting where he
is because of his supply problem,
the air vice marshal said, and added
that Rommel is lin rather bad
situation" from the supply point
of view.
Sir Hugh reported that his chief
reliance in the defense of Malta was
the Spitfire, which he said was
every bit as good as the German
Messerschmitt 100, which was the
chief Axis reliance in the STEADY
five-months bombardment of Malta
so miles from Sicily where the
Germans established airdromes fer
the attack on Malta.
The Axis wanted to knock Malta
out OF the war in order to open up
the Mediterranean to German and
