FOOD STAMP PLAN
FOR Low INCOMES

Washington, July 15.-(UP)-De-
tails, of food stamp plan which
would pay low-income families the
difference between the normal food
budgets and present high prices
were revealed today by Sen. George
D. Aiken, r., VT, and Reps. Jerry
Voorhis, D., Cal, and Charles M.
La Toilette, r., Ind.
The three congressman wrote den
tical bills to meet the administra-
TOMS challenge that no effective
substitute for roll-back subsidies has
been offered.
The three legislators said that I'M
der their plan eligibility would be
determined by the inability of a
family to meet the cost of basic
food allotment"-a list of the vari-
Gus types of food representing an
adequate minimum diet-from its
normal food budget.
To eligible families, the War Food
Administration would issue stamps
representing the differencem be-
tween their normal food expendi-
lures and the present cost of their
basic food allotment These
stamps would be used to buy food at
the corner grocery or butcher store,
which in turn would turn them In
at the bank for cash.
The cost Of the food stamp plan
is estimated at a maximum of ST.
asa 600 q year.

T0DAY'S WAR
MOVES
reg. U. S. Pat. Office
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE
United Press War Analyst

The campaign in Sicily and the
faltering German offensive on the
Russian front are twin tests of Ger
many's war strength as of July,
1913.
Definite conclusions cannot be
drawn yet, but in one cast Hitler's
striking power is on trial, and in
the other his defensive ability. Both
are making a poor showing.
There was every reason for Hitler
to make the utmost defense of Sicily
and he had plenty of advance notice
to prepare for it. Yet the fall of
Sicily seems as probable as anything
can be in the uncertain fortunes of
war.
The loss of Sicily, however, would
by no means signify the end of Hit
ler's defensive power. He apparently
had risked neither the land or air
power necessary to hold the island
because he shoarding them for the
vital defense of the inner fortress of
Europe after Sicily has fallen and
the Allies advance to the main
land Europe.
H1tler'S main defense power CnlS
is reserved for western and eastern
Europe and the Balkans. Sicily is
not decisive proving ground but
merely a sign of Hitler's weakening
ability to hold everything on his
fronts.
The Russian campaign, however,
may yet furnish conclusive proof OF
Hitler's loss of striking power. The
apparent failure of the Orelbelgorod
offensive, if it is not followed by
more powerful. blow elsewhere on
the long Russian front, will mean
Hitler is no longer capable of main
tanning real offensive.
The natural result would be a
Russian counter offensive which
might strain Hitler's power to the
breaking point, when combined with
an about Allied blow in the west

fought as rugged team against

they never gave ground. 1t was
largely through their slashing de-

readily around Vittoria.
The mission started most inauspi-

BY THE OUT EASTER

Thomas F. Turley, SO south
Leonard street died a week or ten
days ago.
No doubt he could not be classed
as a prominent citizen, any more
than any of us in his station of
life, but yet he was so widely
known in the Brooklyn district,
where he always lived, that he
was prominent, in a sense, among
the people in that particular part
of the city.
And there are many of us, too,
who remember his prominence in
the boxing game of many years
back. Tom was younger then, &C
tive, and spry and knew the his
tory and qualifications of most of
the so-called fighters of the day.
And he was among the number
who often applied to the Board
of public safety for permission to
conduct box exhibition, of
course under the name of a So
called club, even if only organ
lied for the occasion.
Oh, how we recall those appli-
cations; the Commissioners, five
in number, were supposedly three
Democrats and two Republicans;
they carried the power of grant in
their inside pocket. The Mayor
now and then had a say, but the
commissioners, it always seemed
to us, were the real power. They
granted the applications of friends
and turned down those who were
not fully recognized Democrats.
And they boldly so declared, in
the newspapers and at open meet
ings.
1--WE are here as Democrats" de-
clared the young commissioner,
who generally led his associates,
land we are going to function as
Democrats, too, make no mistake
in that The two Republicans
on the board might occasionally
stick up their noses, but when
they got supernumerary ap-
pointment or were allowed to pick
a call man for the Fire Dept.
they were satisfied.
Tom Turley was Democrat
and the commissioners knew it.
Tom sought a permit one night
around 80 odd years ago. Yes, he
had a star card, and the full
membership of his club was be-
hind him in his application.

Twill there be no stalling on
the bill, If we issue you permit,
Tom, asked the young chairman
of the board.
"You bet there won't be any OF
that" assured Tom. "Our boys will
fight from the second the gong
sounds"
And Tom was right. 1t was a
good show, thousands we're there,
including the hundreds Of old Car

men.
Three cops always sat in the
corner of the ring; with sergeant

ing power for the time being. If
they said, "cut it out" the bout
was stopped. But it was seldom
these words we're uttered. Tom
and the others who conducted
these affairs lined their men up
properly. and good fights followed.
Tom Turley was a thin little
fellow. He knew sports of all
kinds, and could recall names in
the baseball field as well as in the
boxing game. He was somewhat
positive in his view, but never ar
gumentive. Besides being interest
ed in the sporting game, he was
in business for a time. and met
hundreds of people. with whom he
chatted and made friends.
In all OF the political encoun-
tiers of Old Brooklyn. Tom Turley
was a leading figure. Dan Ma
haney, ST., Matt Smith, the IA
nous Hardware club of good and
substantial citizens were among
the lot that generally looked after
the welfare of the Democratic
party across the Bridge.
Tom Turley saw Brooklyn
change from an Irish German
colony to a new and different lot
of residents. But his love for the
old spot never waned and he died
in the district in which he had
made his home since boy-hood. OF
late years, he just stood around"
as we all do when we grow lit
tie bit older; the days OF yesterday
are gone, as well as lot of old
time, true and good friends.
He seemed lonesome, and we
