cabinet meeting today that the

1900 capture at Dieppe
Wednesday.
The majority were Canadians,
with a few De Gaulle French,
De Brinon said. He came here to
give the German report on the
tai raid.
(The German high command
gave no figures on Allied cas-
ualties but sale zoos prisoners
were taken. There waS no con-
firmation '"om any Allied source
of either claim.)
German dispatches insisted
the Allied landing failed from
: lie be ginning and that German
troops never had to enter into
action because of the defense put
up by German coastal guards
alone.
Other sources, however, indi-
Gated that important destruc-
lions of coastal defenses were
carried cut, that the Germans
suffered severe losses. and that
the raid demonstrated a bridge

single division I'D held for at

Corpet-Like Material May
Answer Most Tire Worries
Manufacturer Develops Unusual
'Sondor TO Add to Wear Of Tires

looks somewhat clumsy and its
cotton woven fabric and asphalt
treatment add 10 pounds to the
weight of each tire. Stretched
over a properly inflated casing,
however, it shapes itself quickly
to the contour of the tire and
the very feel of it promises re-
lief for the motorist unable to
buy tires or retreading service
through his rationing board.
The pile woven into the car
pet-like material contains ~
loops to the square inch. Com
pany representatives say that
even greater wearing properties
may be achieved later through
increasing the density of the
loops.
ASPHALT EMULSION
Present plans call for the
weaving of the material at the
Thompsonville, Conn. plant of
the Bigelow-Sanford Mills, with
the asphalt emulsion treatment
at one of the United States Rub
Der Company factories.
Rubber company officials said
the sandals probably would be
available for .etail distribution
within a month. The cost, they
said, had not yet been deter
mined.
1T should be recognized"
said a company statement, chat
the tire sandal is not as prac-
tical nor as cheap as recapping

whereas rubber would be allo-
Gated to military purposes and

ton of this carpet-like material
