O~AS
 With British Tanks in Fl Alarneil Battle, July 22-(Delayed) -(UP)- A midnight volcano rulnbles, roarf and erupts on the desert. The roaJ of the bombers and the crash of the bombs fill the air. The flare oi starshells and the criss- -crossnt stripes of the multi-colored tracers light the sky.
 That is the nightly phase of the battle for Egypt-a battle which rumbles night and day along the Alamein positions with the clash of tank, artillery, infantry and air forces.
 As I write the enemy units are signalling each other along their line while their anti-aircraft tries frantically to ward of the atten- tions of the British night raiders who are keeping their renezvous with the Nazi Afrika korps. British Had Losses
 The British imperials have made progress but with losses,
 Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, as the Imperials know, had built ur methodically his anti-tank gun in- stallations. He placed them on top hill on the western tip of the Ruweisat ridge from where they could sweep the desert but the com- bined action of the British artillery and infantry blasted them off the ridge and the Imperials swept on beyond, two or three miles, to the next hill.
 This hummock--it really ca scarcely be called hill--had been converted by the Germans into a desert baston, ringed by minefieldS and barbed wire. The British tanks threw themselves at the German defenses. Some got through gaps in the minefield. Others were not SO fortunate against the anti-tank barrage and the mines. Those that got through reduced at least a half dozen of the German mark III and mark W tanks to smoking hulks. Those that did not get through soon were replaced by reinforce ments the Imperials held in reserve.

WASHINGTON, July 6 R
Vice President Wallace and
Secretary Wickard were said
authoritatively today to have
taken opposing sides in Sen
ate controversy over a measure
directing full parity government
loans to farmers of $l.34 a
bushel on 1912 wheat and 81
cents a bushel on corn.
Wallace, who preceded Wick
ard as Secretary of Agriculture,
was described by friends as TAX
ing vigorous stand against the
bill, which the Senate scheduled
as its unfinished business today.
On the other hand. sponsors
said they were informed that
Wickard approved the measure.
Passage of the bill had been pro-
jected as a possible solution of q
quarrel over the $3.50, 900, 900
farm appropriations bill that has
left the Department of Agricul-
ture without funds since July /.
MAY ACT TODAY
The Senate was expected to
act today on compromise
measure to continue depart
mental appropriations for July
at the June rate while attempts
were made to settle differences
in the regular bill. Wednesday
is pay day in the department.
Wallace was represented rs
having told senator's he was op-
posed to the parity loan bill be-
cause he believed it would place
practically the entire 1912
grain crop under mortgage to the
government with loans ranging
38 cents a bushel for wheat and
Is cents bushel for corn above
the average price paid on the
farms for those crops last June
Is.
The measure, offered by SEN
ators Bankhead (D-Ala.> and
Russell (D-Ga), would authorize
full parity loans on corn, wheat,
rice, cotton, tobacco and pea
nuts.
Parity is a price calculated to
give the farmer the same return
he obtained in a past period,
usually 1909-14. These loans
thus would be $1.34 on wheat,
97.6 cents on corn, 1888 cents
pound on cotton, $1.23 bush
ell on rice and 7.3 cents Z
pound on peanuts. Tobacco types
/. vary so widely no single parity
figure is representative.

Wallace Wicl<ard are Opposed on Crop Parity Loan
Wallace, as Ex-Form Chief,
Vigorously Opposes Bill
Wiekord Believed to Favor
Full Pority Federal Looms

With cotton selling at only
fraction of a cent a pound be-
low parity and rice at nearly so
cents bushel above parity, the
bulk of the loans would be
made on wheat and corn.
SENATE INSISTENT
The Senate has insisted that
the government be permitted to
sell up to 125,OOO,000 bushels of
wheat for feeding livestock at
about 83 cents a bushel and
that no price restriction be
placed on government sales of
grain for making industrial al
cohol or explosives.
President Roosevelt has pub
licly endorsed this view, but
House members have fought ada
mainly for a provision prohibit
ing government grain sales at
less than full parity.
The House Ways and Means
Committee meanwhile begins
final consideration this week of
its $1,000, 100000 tax bill with
indications that further efforts
might be made to add a sales
levy to the measure.
Sales tax advocates were re-
ported sounding out the senti-
ment Of House members a whole
before reporting the bill out for
debate on the floor.

Parish Dinner
Proves Success
But Customers
Swamp Lorder

The cupboard of Old Mother
Hubbard had nothing on the
larder of st. Mary's Catholic
parish at New Baltimore July
4 when the annual Independ-
ence Day chicken dinner pic
mic and reunion was about three
quarters over.
BY that time 700 chicken
dinners had been served and
the chicken was all gone. The
Is cooks who were laboring to
keep pace with the demand
prepared a stock of h m to
coast through the day with.
That was fine, but the potato
supply became exhausted so
the harassed cooks and wait
resses fell back on ham sand
witches with which to feed the
crowd. At seven o'clock, eight
hours after the feasting started,
late Corners took cake~and cof-
fee or nothing and with a few
CAKES remaining after every
thing else was gone a rattle
was held to dispose of them.
But with all the trials and
tribulations of the Is cooks, the
countless mattresses and six
dishWashers recruited FIR o m
among parish members, the af-
fair was a huge success, it was
stated at the parish house to-
day.

Michigan celebrated its indie
pendence Day weekend at the
expense of at least "a lives.
But the death toll was less
grim than it might have been,
for only twelve fatalities took
place in automobile traffic.
Twelve persons drowned.
The rubber shortage kept
many motorists at home, or in
fluenced them to 60 on their
outings in public conveyances.
Observers took the view also
that a general war-born cauti-
business was partly responsible.
Transportation companies re-
ported a huge increase in patron
age for the weekend. Scores of
buses, trains and boats carried
capacity loads, in some instances
having been booked solidly for
days in advance.
Captain Donald S. Leonard of
tie state police estimated high
way traffic at half of what it has
been on previous July 4 week
ends.

Nothing Wild
and Woody in
This Escape
BY JAMES T. CARTER

NEW YORK, July 6LR-
Out in Rattlesnake Gulch it goes
like this (the movies would have
you believe):
Two-gun desperate br a k S
Jail. Sheriff gulps one last drink,
dashes outside bar, fires six
shooter to round up posse. Posse
rides down its quarry, hangs
him. Sheriff polishes star and
tells voters: Jaw, shucks,
'tWarent nuthin.'
But around this neck Of the
woods it's a little different, as
this weekend's wild west thrill
er, entitled "McCloskey Gets His
Man." shows:
1t was along about $50 Sat-
urday night and keeper John F.
Conlon stepped away from his
desk in the Queens county court
house civil Jail for moment,
leaving his keys behind.
c.se of the, prisoners gent
who had served but a month of
a six-month sentence for con-
tempt of court in defaulting on
his alimony payments - snatch
ed up the keys and beat it.
Now the scene shifts over to
Brooklyn, home of the drug store
cowboys, and we find the city's
sheriff John j. McCloskey,
Jr. - at home.
Informed that the alimony de-
faulter had staged break, Sher-
iff McCloskey, who wears bus
mess suit and no shield at all
except maybe an Elks pin, SIM
ply picked up the telephone and
got virtually all his 500 depu-
ties in the city's five boroughs
on the job. They searched rail-
road yards and alleyways, but
no luck.
The sheriff tried some deduc-
tions and came up with the right
answer.
Seems the prisoner, a railroad
brakeman by profession, origin
ally came here from upstate and
McCloskey had reasoned cor
rectly that he would attempt
TO board a train at Grand Cen
trail station for upstate.
Accordingly. around 4 am,
the sheriff and deputy Herman
Soloway entered the terminal.
what happened?" the sheriff
was asked later.
Nothing specially: Soloway
Just recognized him.
How did the fugitive act?
"He seemed quite startled"
What had the fugitive been
doing between $50 pm. and 4
am?
Just having a couple of beers.
