a repeat performance for wall pa

reason why, The OPA has au-

unsalted butter than for sailed
butter because manufacturing
costs are higher.
Until rationing of heating and

An American hero fighter pilot,

told today of an unwritten law of
combat, under which neither Ameri-
can nor German flyers strafe pilots
forced down.
Lit Arthur O. Beimdick. jr., told
interviewers:
When an American pilot was shot
down and belly landed on the
ground, the German would circle
him for about minutes before
coming in to strafe his grounded
plane. have seen quite a few of
our pilots belly land, and get out
of their ships and run like hell
There was no place to hide, no
holes to jump in, no trees to use for
concealment. The German would
swoop down and strafe the plane
and would never take a shot at the
stranded American. We never did
it to them. and until it is violated
it will probably exist as it is now y

'LdibNi okVts uh ASC NIL
Officials of the Commodity
Credit Corp. estimated today
they could spend approximately
SITS, 100000 for subsidies by
January i. This is the result of
the action of Congress in con-
tinuing the life of the agency
without the ban on subsidies to
roll back prices and enlarging
its borrowing power from
50 $50, 900 900 to S3 ,000, 600 900.
However, most of the Government
subsidies. including those on meat
and butter. are paid by subsidiaries
of the Reconstruction Finance
Corp and RFC officials SAID there
was no way of estimating the
amount available in those corpora =
tions, because their funds varied
from day to dav as they made ex-
penditures for war plant construc-
ton and other war purposes. and
as money came in from old loans.
At present RFC subsidy payments
average about 50.000 900 per year,
or more than 5000 .000. 900 for a six
month period. Most of the RFC
subsidies, such as those on petro-

expected rapidly to unfold"
Opening review of recent world

described the new German offensive
in Soviet Russia as "a place of new
beginning in the war in Europe"
The successful ~North African
campaign marked the triumphal
close of an all-important chapter in

"A new German offensive now has
been launched along nearly 200 miles
of central front. -It. along with the
recent intensified bombings of strs-
tegic targets over Europe. marks a
place of new beginning in the war
in Europe"
The Prime Minister declared the
time is approaching when. even be-
fore victory is won. the concept Of
the United Nations will have to be
embodied in some form of interna-
tional organization"
On one hand, he said. authority in
international affairs must not be
concentrated exclusively in the
larger powers.
''On the other. authority cannot
be divided equally among all the 80

a means of alleviating hard

Some District workers have gone
without pay for five weeks. and a
majority with no pay checks for
three weeks, as the Commissioners
waited hopefully for passage of the
appropriation. which is still await
ing the Presidents signature.
Policemen and firemen tomorrow
will receive pay checks for work
performed in the last two weeks Of

for these departments cover the

on account of services performed
during the first nine days of the
new fiscal year For this purpose,
the District will use salary appro-
priations for the new fiscal year.
1t was estimated checks would be
received by approximately 1000 low
salaried employees, including char
women. elevator operators, custo-
dians, janitors and engineers.
District officials said these ad-
vance payments would amount to Is
per cent of the amounts earned from
July through today, and that SAL
airy payments would be adjusted on
the next regular payday, which
would be July II for most of the
regular workers. For the advance

For the LOO policemen, the Dis
tricJ would have needed $3.50, 900 to
meet the payroll for the last two

had available only s139, 900. BY using
this sum. officials said, it would be
possible to pay the policemen ex-
cept those in some divisions. 1t was
suggested those who would be

Darden told his press conference
today he was convinced the Sc
we're restrictions on gasoline in

the enforcement methods.
Il feel that the latitude requested
by Gen. Bright Richmond OPA di-
rector at his recent Washington
conference should be granted" Gov.
Darden said The harsh methods
that are used in the enforcement
of this ban should not be resorted
to in democratic system if they
can possibly be avoided
Gen. James A. Anderson tVir-
ginia State Highway Commissioner
and Mr. Joyner &C. F. Joyner. Vir-
ei1ia Motor Vehicle Commissioner
in their study of the situation have
convinced me the severe restric-
tions are not necessary and if this
is the case, as I believe that it is,
our citizens should not be subjected
to the treatment now being accorded
them
Gen. Anderson and Mr.. Joyner
, took figures which they furnished
I to the Governor with them on a trip
to Washington today to confer with
Representative Burch, Democrat, of
Virginia, and Federal authorities.
Gov, Darden said they had assem-
bled data on transportation faclii-
ties and facilities of supply. These.
he added convinced him there is
an adequate supply of low grade
gasoline in Virginia.
Military gasoline comes first. Gov.
Darden added. and was not included
in his estimates.
The investigation made by State
officials, he said. substantially sup
ports those used bv Gen. Bright two
weeks ago when he endeavored to
get some of the restrictions modified
in Virginia. one of the l3 Eastern
States where restrictions are tight
est and all pleasure driving is
banned.
The Governor said he felt that
Virginia should be removed from
the area and placed on parity
with North Carolina and other
neighboring States. He pointed
out that sizable portion of Vir-
ginia lies between Kentucky, Ten
nessee and West Virginia where the
restrictions are not in effect.
