tary authorities today sought the

help from their companions in the
downtown area.
It was officially announced that
Pvt. Paul v. Brown was shot and
critically wounded by one Of group
of colored soldiers melted by the
rllmor, who had tried to take his
gun away from him.
Army authorities said a white
sentry shot and killed Pvt. Otis
GARNER, colored.

guns at the camp, had attempted
to arm themselves by taking
weapons away from sentries, Fort
Bliss officers said. The shooting
ensued.

EIGHTH UNITED STATES AIR
FORCE HEADQUARTERS, Eng
land, June 21.-Following ex-
haustive experiments, the 9Th Air
Force announced today that all
crews Of American heavy bombers
are to be equipped with protective
armor reminiscent of that worn
by knights of the Middle Ages.
A London firm, which has special
lied in sWordmaking since 1772. now
Is engaged in manufacture of the
equipment and it will be issued as
rapidly as production permits, the
announcement said.
The armor, consisting of a 16-
pound sleeveless vest of manganese
steel, already has been worn by
some airmen on raids over Europe
and is said to have proved very sue
ceSsful under stern tests.
The vest is made of heavy canvas
to which are attached small over
tapping squares of 20-gauge steel,
giving complete coverage on chest
and back. An apron, suspended by
hooks from the vest, provides pro-
lection for the stomach and parts Of
the legs.
Pilots and co-pilots will wear only

American Heavy Bomber Crews
To Be Equipped With Armor

the half vest for chest protection
since their backs are protected by
the planes armorplate. Bomb
ardiers, navigators, gunners and
radio operators will wear full vests.
The aprons come in two types, full
width for standing men, tapered
for seated men.
The half vest weighs seven
pounds. the full apron -and-a-
half pounds and the tapered apron
four -and-a- half pounds.
The vest slips over the head and
laces up the sides. With the pull of
string the whole gear can be shed
instantaneously.
First 1t. Jack Fisher of Fresno,
Calf, Fortress bombardier and one
of the guinea pigs" in tests, is one
of its most enthusiastic exponents.
Wearing the vest on the Wilhelms-
haven-Emden raid on May 81, he
saw a 20-millimeter cannon shell
explode inside the bomber 2 feet
away from him. His vest looked
as If a shotgun had been fired at it
from close range but there was no
penetration.
The vest probably saved my life
and certainly saved me from serious
injury" he said. I'm very grateful
and feel all combat crews should
wear this equipment"

Profit Limits Urged
For Meat Professors

CHICAGO, June 2l (P.-Blaming
the Federal Government for meat
shortages, Earl c. Smith, president
OF the Illinois Agricultural Associa-
ton, yesterday urged limitation of
profits for meat professors and dis
tributors.
Il believe the practical way
through this situation" he said in a
statement, "is. an announcement of
supporting prices to people who work
and produce meat, and a freeze of
profit margins, on reasonable
basis, on all elements in the field of
processing and distribution"
Prices of prime cattle should be
allowed to rise, with ceilings placed
in other grades of beef, he added.
The present meat condition, he as
serted, is due to what he termed the
Governments failure to act prompt
ly and properly.
He declared that at the request
of OPA officials cattlemen had cut
feeding time for cattle from 80 to
so days, with the result that the
average weight of steers was re-
duced' by 200 to 300 pounds. And
that figure bulks large in our pres
ent shortage of beef" he said.
We've got numerically the same
number of cattle on farms, but
they're coming to markets consid-
erably lighter"

De Valera or Coalition
Issue in Irish Election


DUBLIN, Fire, June 21.-Irish
voters will decide tomorrow in their
first wartime election whether to
continue Prime Minister Eamon de
Valera in control of the Fire govern
ment he has headed since 1882 or
substitute coalition rule, advocated
by the opposition leader, William T.
Cosgrave.
Prediction betting favors the
New York-born Prime Minister. The
campaign has been vigorous, al
though it has failed to stir the
warm -blooded Irish as elections
usually do. The loss of nine seats
by De Valera's Fianna Fail party
would swing control to the combined
opposition.

The possibility that President
Roosevelt may make new de-
mands for food price subsidy
funds if he signs the Connally-
Smith Harness anti-strike bill
was forecast in some congress
sional circles today.
While legislative leaders said they
understood Mr.. Roosevelt is reluc-
tant to accept some provisions Of
the measure several thought he may
approve the bill and then call on
Congress to furnish money to effect
the rollback in food costs that or
ganized labor has been seeking.
Directed primarily at providing
machinery for use in the coal wage
dispute, the measure outlaws strikes
In Government-contro war in
dustries, sets up restrictions to slow
down walkoutS IN privately operated
plants, empowers the War Labor
Board to settle disputes and pro-
hibits union contributions to DO
litical campaigns.
Organized Labor View.
Organized labor generally has
looked on the bill as an indirect
congressional effort to prevent fur
ther wage increases and there re-
mained doubt that labor's opposi-
tion to 1t would be greatly modified
by new administration promises to
roll back food prices by use of sub
sides.
The subsidy question probably will
come before the Senate Wednesday
on bill to expand the borrowing
authority of the Commodity Credit
Corp. Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio has moved to reduce a pro-
posed $500,000,OOO fund for subsidy
payments to $250,0OO, 900, an amount
which would not permit the CCC to
enter any new subsidy fields.
What the Senate does on this
question is likely to furnish a
criterion :or its action on a House
move to prevent the Office of Price
Administration from using any of

in a $2,o98 100000 war agency ap-

LONDON, June 21.-Land- based

warships, teamed in the Allied effort
to clear the Atlantic of Hitler's sub.
marines, are credited officially with
beating off 'one of the fiercest and
most sustained offensives ever
mounted" against conveys in a FIVE
day battle last month.
British authorities announced last
night that from two to five of the
submarines were destroyed and that
the air and surface screen was 50
effective only 3 per cent of the con-
voy vessels were even molested-at-
tackled damaged or sunk.
Two U-boats were DESTROYED
three probably were destroyed and
others may have been damaged, ,
said communique issued jointly
by the Admiralty and Air Ministry
Battles Miles from Conveys.
The known submarine sinkings
were credited to warships, but pock-
et-size escort carriers planes and
the big bombers detected the SUBJ
marines so effectively that most of
the engagements were fought many
miles away from the conveyed ves-
sells, the communique said. AS q
result, it added. "97 per cent of the
ships forming the conveys reached
harbor in safety and without hav-
ing been molested"
The engagements ranged over
hundreds of miles, said the COM
munique, which did not give the
exact dates.
The escort carrier. the first of the
American-made pocket-Sized vessels
TO be reported in action, was H. NJ. S
Bitter, converted freighter. The
definite kills were credited to the
British destroyer Broadway, former
ly the U. S. S. Hunt, and the de-
stroyer Hesperus, which also was
credited with two probables.
At least two conveys were en-
gagged by the submarines during the
running battle. The Biter's planes
first sighted the U-boats and at
tackled with depth charges and
machine guns. They were quickly
Joined by shore-based bombers
which forced the U-boats to dive,
and the battle then was taken up
by British destroyers.
Sub Pack Driven Of.
While these engagements were in
progress, the communique said. "a
strong force of U-boats which had
worked around ahead of another
convoy" was attacked by the
Hesperus
The intensity and variety of the
counterattacks and the continual
presence of aircraft ultimately COM
pletely discomfitted the U-boat packs
and the conveys proceeded to their
destinations without further inter-
ference the bulletin said.
The Daily Express naval reporter,
w. A. Crumley, said that about so
U-boats had been destroyed in the
last two months. bringing the total
