OUTDOORS

The Great Eastern skeet cham
pionships, which for IA years have
held the spotlight in big-time skeet
shooting, have been suspended for
the duration.
Sponsored by Remington Gun
Club at Lordship, Conn, these COL
orful events not only were skeet's
oldest. but annually drew greater
numbers of scatter-gun enthusiasts
than any other single meeting in
the country.
All minor trap and skeet activi-
ties also have been postponed until
after the war.
National Capital Skeet Club,
whose North-South shoot was sec
ond only to the Great Eastern, is
curtailing its program because of
the scarcity of shells and trap boys.
Now there will be but one meeting
every Sunday from l to 7:30 and
only one field will be in use. That
shooting still is possible at all is
due to the foresight of the club in
stocking shells while they were
available. Plans are under way to
combine rifle shooting with skeet.
The club now is member of
the National Rife Association of
America.
Striped bass continue to attract
the greatest attention in Capital

BY HAROLD CLAASSEN,
kssociat.d Dress snoyts Writer

NEW YORK, June 18.-Although
War Department leaders say that
their soldier-students won't have
time for intercollegiate athletics
this fall, representatives from lS
Army camps will compete this week
end in the National AAU track and
field championships.
That's not an inconsistency, as
a check shows that majority of
the. khaki runners are coming to
Randall's Island on furlough-time
usually saved for trip home.
Charles Had, former Michigan
Normal runner, won the Big Ten
hurdling championships for the
Chicago University Army training
center last month but was unable
to compete in the recent Central
collegiates at Milwaukee on Uncle
Sans time. He has been granted
a weeks vacation, however. to come
here.
Ia Camps Represented.
Sailors, Marines and Coast
Guardsmen from IA different camps
also will be here for the biggest
service entry in the SIS years of the
meet.
The latter collection includes
Chief Specialist Greg Rice of the
Maritime Service, who will oppose
Gunder Haegg of Sweden in the
headhned 5000-meter event on Sun
day, and Ensign Cornelius Warm
erdam in the pole vault. Fred Wilt,
formerly of Indiana but now mid
shipman at the Columbia Naval
Training School, will be in the
Haegg-Rice race.
The soldiers, however, should
monopolize the honors in the high
jump, where Corpl Joshua William
son of Camp Pickett, Va, late of
Xavier College; Corpl. Adam Berry
of Camp Carson. Colo; Pvt. Pete
Watkins of Fort Sam Houston, Tex,
and Pvt. A. Richmond Morcom of
New Hampshire are entered.
Eulace Peacock Entered.
Eulace Peacock. 1885 champion,
will leave his Manhattan Beach, N
Y, Coast Guard station duties long
enough to try for the sprint titles.
Among his rivals will be Corpl
Barney Ewell and Tom Galliford,
once of Virginia Military Institute
and the only marine in the field.
The Navy also will be represented
by Ensign Hugh Cannon of the
Staten Island base, who established
world discus record in the Metro
politan AAU meet with toss of
ITO feet l0ls inches.
In addition, 1t. Joe McCluskey and
1t. Lou Gregory will put aside their
naval uniforms for the week end.
McCluskey, without whom no major
AAU meet would be complete, will
defend his 100o0-meter title while
en- route to his new base at Siena
College. Gregory, also distance
runner, is with the Iowa Pre-Flight
School
Civilians from 35 colleges and clubs

CANNED GOODS:
Increase Prices

To absorb higher labor and ma
terial costs, Gamers of vegetables
and professors of frozen berries
were authorized to increase prices
of the 1943 pack by the Office of
Price Administration.
Prices of canned tomatoes, corn,
snap beans and peas, however, will
remain at the 1912 level. Seeking
to stabilize the prices of these es-
sential commodities. the govern
ment will pay subsidies to Gamers
to make up for increased costs.
The OPA also acted to place spe-
cific increases on spinach, aspara-
gus, mustard and turnip greens. To
reflect wage boosts, Gamers of spin
ach were allowed a Az per cent
boost. Price of the No. can of
asparagus was raised 4 cents and
mustard and turnip greens were in
creased IL cents.
Increases ranging up to cents a
pound were allowed to professors of

action had come again on the Rus

While the Nazis insisted the action
was of local, minor character in
segments of the Ukrainian and
Kursk provinces in Russian hands,
the Reds claimed the Germans had
launched major offensive. Al
though announcing that they had
stopped the advance generally along
the 165 mile front, the Reds admit
ted the Nazis had preached their
defenses in the Belgorod sector.
Red reports indicated the Nazis
had massed large armored forma-
tons in the battle zone. The 1,271
tanks the Russians said they
knocked out would be sufficient to
outfit four Nazi panzer divisions. In
two days the Reds claimed they
shot 3l4 planes out of the sky.
For their part, the Nazis said their
infantry had initiated local attack,
and then fighting had fared all along
the front.

SUBSIDIES:
Would Limit Expenditures

If President Roosevelt's subsidy
program to "roll-back" the price of
retail food was to become the ad-
ministration's bulwark in its anti
inf1ationary program, congress indi-
Gated that it would retain a voice
in such a policy by limiting the
government expenditure of money
in its operation.
In considering a new Commodity
Credit corporation bill which would
allow subsidies, the senate banking
and currency committee heard Sen.
Robert Taft propose an appropria-
ton of 525 million dollars to roll
back" prices to January l, 1914.
Unless such a limitation were made,
Taft said, the government could
borrow any amount from the Re-
construction Finance corporation.
President Roosevelt declared it
was necessary to "roll-back" food
prices to equalize the sterilization
of wages. Subsidy opponents con-
tend that such payments will only
increase the public debt, and wages
generally have risen to a level at
which consumers can well afford to
buy food at present prices.

WAR PRODUCTION:
Up and Down

Declaring that we are on the verge

Chairman Donald Nelson revealed

lines.
On weight basis, airplane pro-

Nelson said, with bomber deliveries
up but fighter manufacture I'M
steady. A total of 100000 tons of
naval vessels were completed.
In other lines, ground ordnance,
such as tanks, artillery, etc., was
down 3 per cent; merchant vessels
were down per cent, and miscel-
laneous munitions were down 7 per
cent.
For the first half of the year, Mel
son said the estimated output fell
below the goals marked out. Mer-
chant shipping was A per cent of
the years objective; army ordnance
and naval vessels, 40 per cent, and

JAPAN:
Parcels Out Territory

In development of the great east

coded four Malay and two Bur-

land. North of Malaga and east of
Burma, Thailand, by its alliance
with Japan at the start of the war,
provided the Nipponese with a back
door into these British possessions.
The cession of the Malay states
gave Thailand rich rice, tin and rub
Der producing territories. The popu-
lation includes more than a million
natives. The two Burmese states
constitute $4,000 square miles.
The cession was made on occa-
sion of Premier Hediki Tojo's visit
to the Thai capital of Bangkok. TOTO
later went to Shanghai, where Chan
dra Bose, exiled Hindu nationalist
leader, called for the organization of
all rebels for the defeat of the Brit
ish in India.

POSTWAR WORLD:
What Labor Thinks

How one great union feels about
the postwar world was ably ex-
pressed by the United Automobile
Workers, CLIO, in a seven-point pro-
gram for peace time.
Among other things, the JAW
called for government ownership
and operation of industries whose
monopoly gives them dictation in
their fields; the 30-hour week, and
vast public works program, calling
for construction of schools, high
ways and power projects.
OF private industry, the JAW
said: "Our industries can no long
er be operated to serve private in
terests where those private interests
conflict with the public need. Initia-
tive can find its most useful outlet,
greatest recognition and highest re-
ward when exerted in the public
service"
The JAW also proposed each SOL
der be given a $4,000 bonus upon
his discharge from the service.
