Prepared for Future Growth.

With war industries continually
stepping up their use of power, the
kilowatt-hour load of Minnesota Pow
er & Light Company's system in
creased substantially during 1941 with
further increases anticipated during
the coming year. The immediate
purpose of the construction of the
33, 500 horsepower addition to the
company's Duluth plant is to provide
an adequate supply of power for such
expansion of power needs in essen
tial industries in this area as may
be called for by the war effort. How
ever, the unit, when installed, also
fits into the company's program of
always having adequate capacity and
will thus be prepared to meet future
growth of business in the territory
served.

Gratis dole out the vital agricui-
tural machinery so critically
needed in the production of food,
Rep. Frank Carlson of Kansas
charged today.
Russia, he said, can get the tools
of food production in generous
quantities-more than she's been
able to get at any time in the
last three years.
So can the farmers OF England,
OF Australia, China. Iceland. Spain,
South Africa, Ethiopia and score
or more of foreign lands. In fact,
ne said, virtually every country in
the world is favored over food
rationed America in quotas set by
the division of civilian supply.
While Americans are told they
must draw in their belts in the
face of increasingly Stricter food
-ratlonlng - while emphasis is
placed on the Importance of food
as a weapon, and Americans are
told they must feed the world, this
situation was revealed by Repre-
sentative Carlson:
The. American farmer, faced
with critical labor shortage. is
allotted only 20 per cent of the
1910 total Of new farm machinery.
But the farmers of Russia are
permitted 10 import from the
United States 11S per cent OF the
average of farm equipment
shipped 20 Russia in 1910 and 1941.

TOXIC From Japanese Broad
casts) May 26.-Domei today revised
downward Japan's losses in the bat
tie of the Coral Sea, a day after
imperial headquarters had revised
upward the losses claimed inflicted
on the United Nations.
The news agency said seven
missing Japanese planes had been
picked up by Japanese warships,
reducing to "a the number which
failed to return
Besides the plane loss, the only
announced Japanese casualty was
the sinking Of a "small-sized Japa-
nese aircraft carrier converted from
a tanker"
Against those losses, imperial
headquarters has said the japanese
sank five warships. including one
battleship, two aircraft carriers, a
cruiser and destroyer; heavily
damaged two battleships and a
cruiser; and shot down sS aircraft.
After the sea fight, Gen. Douglas
Macarthur declared officially that
United States losses were relatively
light" and said Japanese claims were
fantastic.
The United States Navy on May 9
said it had received no reports to
substantiate the loss of a single
United States battleship or aircraft
carrier in the Southwest Pacific
battle and the British, answering a
TOXIC claim that one of their battle
ships was among those damaged,
issued a prompt denial.

while others plan no fund raising

while others plan no fund raising
at all.
The areas where large sections
of the population cannot afford to
contribute have faced the problem
uncomplainingly but knowing that
even minimum goal cannot be
raised.
In the new Howard Park area,
for instance, a campaign is begin
ming for 5000. Chairman w. l..
Tancil said at least a dollar would
be asked, but only in the sections
where there was any possibility Of
giving. About IS per cent Of the
areas population Of $500, he esti-
mated. would be able to contribute
at all. This is in a thickly popu-
lated area without the natural pro-
lection of more substantial homes.
Some committee chairmen feel
that in order to operate, If not to
get additional equipment, they will
have to wage campaigns again in
another six months. Some are
afraid they will find that what they
have bought will be considered un-
necessary, or that they haven't
bought enough. Some believe
strongly, with Chief Murphy. that
the city would be safer If it was
considered as a whole, with equip
ment standardized.
Aid Chances Slim.
The chances Of Federal or Dis
trict aid are slim, even though the
Commissioners are going to send
another request for a civilian de-
fense appropriation to Congress
soon. The city's obligation to pro-
tect against sabotage, to provide a
fund for medical services and hos
pitalization Of civilian defense work
ers hurt in the line of duty and
other items will probably take up
most of that fund.
Some chairmen feel that the only
way to get city-wide protection is
city-wide collection, with all the
money going into a single fund to
be disbursed under central super
vision. Some have suggested that
civilian defense needs be included
in the combined war fund drive in
the fall. Many would be content If
they could just get a statement of
what was needed to guide them in
spending the money of their neigh
bors.

With that statement and with the
added advice that local o. c. D
neither approves nor disapproves OF
any fund raising except that 1t IS
not to be considered tax on the
citizens and cannot be undertaken
outside the area, local o. c. D. has
thrown the civilian defense commit
tees on their own.
On their own means that Lincoln
Park, for instance, has installed a
switchboard service with $1,000
annual telephone bill and Staunton
Park has raised $63 but hasn't spent
it all.
There is disparity on the matter
of begging and borrowing" equip
ment, too, although local and ma
tional o. c. D. have both urged US
ing makeshifts instead of buying
critical materials.
Equipment Solicited.
In some areas, concerted efforts
have been made to solicit contribu-
tions of desks, chairs, lamps, type
writer's, file cases, shovels and
blankets.
AT one extreme Is Culver B.
Chamberlain. chairman of the Ca
thedral Heights-Cleveland Park
area, who said, I'VE think this is a
serious business and we don't think
that it is a businesslike way to do
things. We bought new stuff all
along the line"
In the Friendship area, on the
other hand, Chairman Leonard
Tucker reported that before and
after the drive for funds there,
people of the community were asked
to rummage through attics and base
ments for salvageable materials.
On a small scale, the Sixteenth
Street Highlands area is typical Of
the whole city. There each sector
had a committee soliciting and was
allowed to keep rs cents on every
dollar raised while the rest went

Some Areas Overequipped.
UNFORTUNATELY" said DR.. Ralph
Kennard, area chairman, there has
been a great deal of disparity. Some
sectors were able to get more money
and more materials contributed than
others. Some are overequipped, even
luxurious. Most of the posts need
more than they've gotten"
The variation between areas is
marked even in little things. One
area has gone in strongly for first
aid equipment in warden posts. An
other feels with casualty station

One area has collected from the
households all the blankets it can
get. Another has bought blankets,
maintaining that the blankets it
could borrow would not be strong
enough for stretcher bearing.
One area complained that it had
to pay commercial telephone rates.
Another reported it had been given
a special rate. Some wardens have
supplied all their own equipment
for sector posts. Others have been
paid back even if partition was

There the candidates will receive
eight weeks intensive training in
leadership, administration and mill
tary procedure.
The War Department today Of
fered this advise to the would-be
WAAC candidates: Don't send appli-
cations directly to the War Depart
ment. Application blanks may be
obtained only by going in person to
any Of the 440 Regular Army re-
cruiting stations and then filled out
and filed by mail or in person at the
appropriate main recruiting station,
of which there are 50 throughout
the country.
Deadline June 4.

plicants who then will be sent at
Government expense to the regional
headquarters for interview. In this
area, for instance, the applicant

corps area commander will make

whose acceptance will be recon-
mended to the War Department.
In this way approximately 450
