! S. Ships to
Be Sent British

LONDON, Aug 3 CUP) - The
United States has taken the role
of merchant shipbuilder" to Great
Britain during the war, a letter
from President Roosevelt read to
commons by Prime Minister Wins
ton Churchill revealed today, and
transfer of from $50 to 200 ships to
the British flag already has begun.
Both the Presidents letter and
subsequent statement to commons
stressed that the arrangement was
dictated by economic division of
work between the countries. A
settlement will be made after the
war, Churchill said.
Churchill said the ships would
be transferred within the next 10
months to absorb the British re-
serve of trained seafaring men,
adding that similar arrangements
were being made with Canada
Mr.. RooSevelt'S letter said the
first plans were worked out by the
heads of the Allied governments
when Churchill visited the United
States in December, l94l.
MUTUAL ADVANTAGES
I'm matters of production as well
as in other matters, we agreed that
mutual advantages were to be
gained by concentration insofar as
1t was practical our energies in
doing those things which each of
us was best qualified to do" Mr..
RooSevelt's letter said.
E. You in your country re-
duced your merchant shipping pro-
gram and directed your resources
more particularly to other fields in
which you were more favorably
situated while we became the mer-
chant shipbuilder for the two OF us

Parker
Power

!. D. Cuts in
BlaisdeIl Line
To Drop Four

Imperial Valley electrical
energy consumers were using
Parker Dam power for the
first time Tuesday after en-
ergv from that government
owned project was Synchronized
with Imperial Irrigation district
o-generated power at a point
known as drop four, Is miles east
of CaleXico late Monday.
Use of Parker Dam power by dis
trict consumers followed months of
negotiation between irrigation Of
ficials and Bureau of Reclamation
directors and the construction OF a
special line to drop four by the
bureau. The line is known as the
Blaisdell line.
After a final contract for the
sale of the power was signed by dis
trict and reclamation bureau Of
ficials nine months ago preparations
went forward for the cutting in"
of Parker power. During that time
the bureau constructed new hydro
sub-station at the districts num-
ber four drop on the All-American
canal.
TERMS DISCLOSED
Under terms of the contract the
bureau will make available to the
district at all times up to $4,000
kilowatts of electrical energy and
will maintain facilities leading to
drop four. The district will pay the
government two and fourth mills
per kilowatt hour plus $500 per
month readiness to serve" charge.
The Parker power serves to ampli-
fy the amount of district-produced
energy assuring consumers of an
adequate supply of power at all
times.
The district has agreed to furnish
it's surplus hydro power to the gov
ernment for use at huge magneS-
ium plant at Las Vegas, New.
The switch that brought together
power from Parker Dam and the
districts generating plants was
thrown at drop four by Birnan H.
Scroggins, districts hydro operator,
at 3:44 D. m. Monday. witnessing
the event were several high officials
of the Bureau of Reclamation and
engineers and officials of the 1rri-
cation district.

sAxlS armies.
Americans of the 7th army, who
conquered the entire western half
OF the island in a Lightning CAM
palgn, captured the important Axis
defense point of Troina after a l2-
mile drive from Nicosia, and push
ed eastward toward Bronte at the
base of Mount Etna
Canadian forces to the south of
the Americans drove forward seven
miles and took Regalbuto from the
German 18th Panzier division and
provided good wedge for the Al
lied attack on the Axis flank at the
western end of the Catania plain.
The British 9Th army, attacking
the length of the southern front,
captured Centuripe, six miles south
east of Regalbuto.
OTHER TOWNS TAKEN
The Americans also took Capizzi
and Cerami while racing up the
winding road to Troina, and head
quarters announcement said. they
had cleaned up at least IL small
villages.
Units of Lieut.. Gen. George S.
Patton's 7th army that captured
San Stefano on the northern coast
were moving eastward along the
coastal road and were reported
within 60 airline miles of Messina,
nearing San Fratello.
The Canadians and the British
had driven a large bridgehead into
the Catenanuova sector, just south
west of Regalbuto and north of
Ramacca, from which they could
start rolling down the Catania
plain.
The American advance threatened
to tear apart the Axis defenSes
around Mount Etna. From Bronte,
they would be able to branch out
north and south on the road en-
circling Etna.
American troops had reached
densely wooded district. Resistance
by the Germans and Italians had
Stiffened and most of the Allied
gains were made by infantry, be-
cause of the rugged terrain and the
fact that the retreating Axis had
blown up roads and bridges.
ARTILLERY DUELS
The British 9Th army carried out
series of artillery engagements
and were advancing from Ramacca,
feeling out the enemy'S strength.

were able to strike directly at the
convoy, a joint communique of the
admiralty and air ministry re-
vealed
At least two U-boats were de-
stroyed, a third might have been
sent to the bottom, and many
others were attacked in running
battle fought by daylight and in
bright moonlight at night.
THE successful passage OF the
entire convoy was an outstanding
achievement, because the enemy
force had been built up over
period for the purpose of launch
ing major attack" the COM
munique said.
OTHER HAZARDS
Dense fog and icebergs encoun-
tered during the part of the voyage
formed additional hazards for both
the convoy and its escorts. But as
the weather cleared an air cover
was provided day and night by
coastal command planes operating
at great distances from their bases.
The fight broke out just before
dawn when Liberator sighted
three U-boatS on the surface.
Concentrating the aerial attack on
one, it was considered to have
been sunk, while surface escorts
were notified of the presence of
the other two During the ensuing
search, warship sighted a U-boat

County Ranchers
May Have Wheat
For Stock Feed
Government Releases
Large Amount of Grain
To Be Used in This Area

Imperial county ranchers
will now be allowed to pur-
chase large quantities of
wheat for stock feeding pur-
poses. Rudolph Miller, 'coun-
ty Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration secretary, announced Tues
day.
Until recently it has been impos-
sible for district ranchers to pur-
chase wheat for purposes other than
planting and as result livestock
have been largely fed on corn and
other grain.
Under permission granted by the
Commodity Credit Corporation,
feeders and dealers may henceforth
purchase wheat in carload lots.
Miller said already orders for 103
carloads have been placed
FROM NORTHWEST
The wheat that is available will
come chiefly from the Pacific
Northwest area where it is not in
great demand for use in making
alcohol, a vital content in the
manufacture of synthetic rubber!
Shipments of wheat from the
Northwest will be made at once,
Miller was advised by the CCC.
Persons not wishing to purchase
carload lots have been advised to
purchase their wheat supplies
through local dealers.
Miller said he has also been ad-
vised that the Credit Corporation
has available supply of portable
grain elevators and blowers Persons
interested in obtaining such items
have been requested to contact Mil
Ter at his office.

Questioned by Laborite Emmanuel
ShinWell as to the effect of the
transfer on Britain's future mer-
chant fleet and about financial
arrangements, Churchill replied
that there is no financial arrange
ment. The method we work on is
that we use all things to the COM
mon advantage"
Churchill was unable to say what
type of ships would be transferred
except that they were fine new
ships" Mr.. Roosevelt's letter said
the transfer plan called for a de-
livery of Is ships a month but that
he suggested the U. S. war shipping
administration step this up to 20

The act provided that the CO.
