TYPHOON PLANES
The RATS new typhoon
planes teamed up with Spitfires
yesterday for a daylight sweep
over the Netherlands coast. Two
small enemy torpedo boats were
sunk and two others heavily
damaged.
The typhoon, which is still on
the secret list, was shown to cor
respondents for the first time
yesterday and demonstration
of its potentialities was made TO
show them why ii has become
So popular with veteran pilots.
These filters say the typhoon
will play major part in support
of the Allied invasion of Europe
when the time comes. Many pi-
lots thing it is better for many
aerial tasks than the famed Brit
ish Spitfire. Its description and
specifications may not be given,
but one pilot said:
THE typhoon is faster than
anything Jerry has and it packs
hell Of punch"
The plane is particularly valu-
able in combating German
sneak raiders who streak in low
over the British coast, carrying
one 500-pound bomb, drop the
bomb and disappear into the
clouds without exposing them
selves to attack for more than
two or three minutes.
The Air Ministry has ANNOUNCE
ed that typhoon squadrons, pa
trolling the Channel, have taken
a toll of one out of every eight
of these German sneak bombers.
Pilots believe that nearly half
of the German raiders are turn
ed back by the typhoons before
they reach the British coast.
The typhoons also are used at
night to attack trains, docks and
other targets in France and Bel
GUM.

Sub-Killers
Continued from Page One


ter than half were combat
types, the rest being trainers or
transports.
There were 1870 new combat
ships constructed, totaling 20O,-
900 tons; 20 cargo ships were
converted to combatant uses -
probably as auxiliary aircraft
carriers although Knox did not
say; 100 large landing boats
we're built and 600 landing craft
of smaller types were turned
out.
Knox was obviously cheered
over the destroyer escort pro-
gram. He said several hundreds
would be built and that he
meant more than 300"
The DE's are bigger than the
British Corvette types and gen.
orally more powerful. They were
designed as sub-killers by Rear
Admiral Edward l.. Cochrane,
chief of the Nays Bureau of
ships, back in 1910 when he
held a lesser rank and position
in the Bureau.
Why none has been built pri-
or TO the last few months was
not explained.
A de costs about So, 500, 900
half the price of destroyer -
and it can be built in four
months, whereas a destroyer re-
quires nine.
A destroyer may range in tom
mage from about 200 tons for
the old World War type four
stackers to more than 1000 for
modern large types. The De is
rated at 800 tons. Its armament
includes light deck gums but
emphasis is on depth charges
and anti-aircraft guns. Torpedo
tubes are included for use
against surface raiders if any be
encountered.

James J. Conlen, 81, for 80

grounds it would stop parents
from informing against erring
licensees.
Another measure would per-
nit the Liquor Control commits
sion to retain 20 per cent of the
license fees returned to munich
palities in the cases of commune
ties which failed to enforce the
liquor laws properly. The Leg
islature has received testimony
that many municipalities use the
license money for general gov
ernmental expense, neglecting
enforcement.
Other measures strike at the
specially designated dealers,
vendors of packaged liquor. One
would limit those dealers to 10
per cent profit up to $4,000 a
year, then six per cent after that.
They now receive a flat 10 per
cent profit.
Two bills propose to reduce
the number of licensed drinking
establishments in Michigan. One
would provide for the gradual
reduction of SID licenses 70
one for every $4,000 population
in communities where there is
a state liquor store and one to
5000 where there is none. The
other would reduce the number
of liquor by the glass establish
ments (Class c restaurants
from one to $50 population to
one for every 1900 population.
The commission would be al
lowed, however, TO renew pres
ent licenses for the same premis-
es.
Other bills proposed to outlaw
club licenses in dry" communi-
ties and to forbid clubs TO OBJ
tain discount on liquor they
buy for sale.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Allied military currency in
troduced in Sicily was said by au-
thorities today to be intended merely
to supplement the islands own cur
rency, with which it will be equally
acceptable "in every respect"
Explaining that the money
hailed in some quarters as blue
print for monetary aspects of future
United Nations offensives--was is
sued under authority of interna-
tional rather than American law, a
Joint Treasury War Department an
nouncement declared
"It should be noted that in con-
trast with Axis procedure, which is
governed by policy Of exploitation
or of outright destruction of the
existing economy of a conquered
area, Allied military policy and pro-
cedure is governed by spirit Of
liberation"
The statement said the Army's
use of the distinctive money for
normal military operations will be
charged to War Department appro-
priations, thus making mo change
in the customary control by the
Congress over the size and nature
of Army appropriations"
On the other hand, it added, War
Department appropriations will not
be charged for Allied military Gov
ernment expenditures for purely
local operations such as mainte-
nance of public schools or water
systems and salaries of local Off
cials. There was no amplification
of this point.
Pointing to the obligation of an
occupying authority to maintain an
adequate exchange medium in or
der to protect local trade and there
by keep public order, the announce
ment said the Allies had to be in
position to meet variety of con-
ditions."
I'm all cases." the announcement
said, complete records are being
kept and a detailed accounting
procedure has been set up in con-
nection with the issuance and use
of this currency. These complete
records also will facilitate the ad-
justment of financial matters grow
ing out of the military operations
of the Allied forces in the occupied
area"
