lamp brillance can obtain this by
one of the following methods:
ID Placing a suitable adaptor
device OF auxiliary or fog lights,
which reduces the output to $50
maximum beam candle power. 1t is
not recommended that such limiting
adaptors be placed over the regular
headlamps. Such limitation would
prevent full-strength illumination
being available for driving on high
WAYS outside of areas visible from
the sea.
90 Placing a suitable resistance
and switch in the electrical circuit
which supplies the lower beam OF
standard headlamps is another
method which has been found sat-
isfactory.
80 In using either of the above
two methods it is not necessary
to realm the headlamps from their
present setting.
(4) The Proclamation does not
restrict use of normal rear lights,
including tail lights, stop lights. and
license plate lights. Neither are
clearance lights restricted on COM
mercial vehicles that are normally
required to be SO equipped.
80 The Proclamation requires all
automobiles within the areas visible
from the sea to operate with the
specified lighting regardless Of their
direction of travel.
6. Other Sources Of Light. All
other sources of light visible from
the sea include light from fires, bon
fires, parked cars, flashlights and
lanterns are prohibited at night by
the Proclamation.

MOSCOW, June 24.-An assertion
in the Soviet midnight communique
that Russian units had struck at

Belgorod is 40 miles northeast Of

Whether the reported Soviet ac-

without making any public an
nouncement, or whether they merely
slipped around the town for a quick
thrust remains to be explained here.

BY CARTER BROOKE JONES,

AKRON, Ohio, June 24.-If the
war lasts two years longer, American
weapons by then will resemble only
slightly those in use today, In the
opinion Of Maj. Gen. G. M. Barnes,
chief Of the Army Ordnance Techni-
cal Division.
Gen. Barnes, here for the dedica-
ton of the Goodyear Research
Laboratory, made this prediction in
an interview after paying hearty
tribute to the excellence Of current
fighting equipment, which he called
primarily responsible for driving the
Axis from North Africa. But he
stressed the constant search of
technical men in the armed forces,
in close cooperation with the scien-
lists of private industry. for more
nearly perfect arms which might
hasten the end Of the war.
Good as our weapons now are, he
said-and he feels they are the best
in the world-they are being i'm
proved constantly in the light of bat
tie experience.
Saw Bazooka in Action.
Gen. Barnes, who recently re-
turned from tour Of North Africa
and grandstand seat at the rout
Rommel, was a witness to the effec-
tiveness of the American doughboy's
new anti-tank weapon, the bazooka.
He saw bazookas destroy enemy
tanks, and he must have been where
the lighting was thick, for he esti-
mated the extreme range of a ba-
zooka at 200 yards.
The bazooka, weighing IL pounds,
is handled by two infantrymen. One
aims, the other loads. The rocket
