Abroad Must Start With More Money. Says Supply Chief

The port and dock facilities and railway equipment required in North Africa are examples.
 On top of this, there must be Q steady stream of replacemcnts to take care of day-to-day wear and tear, transportation and battle loss- es. When armored forces clash, the wastage is tremendous. A week of heavy fighting may mean losses of more than one-half the combat vehicles.
 To make certain that replace ments will be at the front when needed, tremendous quantities of material must keep moving endless ly from factory t. battlefield. Ship ping depots, trains, authorization and debarkation ports and overseas depots all must be well stocked, and behind these lines of transportation four to six weeks of supplies must be maintained to insure a steady flow. We call the process Keeping the pipe line full"
 It is a gigantic operation. The Army deals in more than a half a million items. In 1942 it accepted more than 56,00O combat vehicles, 600, 1000 machine guns and 30.00C guns of larger caliber. Plane out put last year increased l86 percent over 194l. Small-caliber ammunition is now produced at a rate of rough ly billion rounds month. Yet matching weapons with the Axis is not easy. We must produce a tremendous volume of shipping Navy to protect this shipping, and additional equipment to replace

losses. Because of requirements of our maritime program, we can put perhaps one-third of our steel into ground weapons while the Axis can probably devote two-thirds of theirs to this purpose.
 OFFENSIVES COST MONEY
 Nevertheless the superiority in equipment which has rested with the Axis is .'assing into our hands. We have attained volume and we have attained it without sacrificing quality. The American soldier has never been better equipped. The United Nations are turning out more and better weapons and munitions today than the Axis nations. And our production is still rising.
 That has naturally influenced the shape of our strategy beyond calcu- lation. It is behind the fact that the United Nations today are on the offensive
 OffensiveS cost money. A single 1853 nm. field gun costs $5O,00O. A heavy bomber costs $450, ,000. A fleet of 10000 of these bomhers would cost every man, woman and child in America $33 as his personal share in these planes alone. Multiply this single unit by the needs of the great striking forces we must have on land, at sea and in the air and you can see what it will cost to deliver the knockout blow.
 You can see why the Second War Loan is major offensive. You can see why every penny of every dol- lar every American can possibly spare must go to war.

Limited Press StaR COrrespOndent)
 Washington, April 15-UP) - Fourteen writers and an art direc- tor, who said that they were quit ting the Office of War Information because 1t is no longer possible for them to tell the full truth, today described OWI as an Office of War Ballyhoo."
 They issued a formal statement of the reasons for leaving OWI. The men and women reiterated their faith in the integrity of OWI Direc- tor Elmer Davis but said the owl now was dominated by high pres- sure promoters who prefer slick salesmanship to honest informa- tion."
 The statement did not name the men whose policies were objection able, but said i've cannot be associ- ated with the propaganda purposes or methods of those who are actual ly running Afr. Davis domestic branch for him." Thus by inference the statement was directed at as- sistant OWI Director Gardner Cowles, Jr, newspaper executive and William Lewis, former radio ex- ecutive.
 Cowles has described the charges as complete bunk" and Davis yeS- terday supported him by denying that OWI was sugar-coating news.
 The controversy was precipitated by an owl report on food which will be released for Friday morning newspapers. that apparently was only surface break in long-de- veloping rift between two factions in OWI.
 Denying that the break was mere ly clash of personalities the state- ment said:
 ''TE,:re is only one issue-the deep and fundamental one of honest pre- sentation of war information: we are leaving because of our convic- ton that it is impossible for us, un- der those who now control our out- put to tell the full truth. As we see 1t the activities of OWI on the home front are now dominated by high-pressure promoters who prefer slick salesmansllip to honest infOr- nation.
 These promoters would treat as stupid and reluctant customers the men and women Of the United States. They delude themselves that the only effective appeal in wartime is the selfish one of Whats in St for me?'
 we know that Americans have an intelligence, a will to win, and Q dignity which deserves the facts as well as the slogans. The promoters who are now running the domestic information policy of OWI for El- mer Davis do not share his faith In the American people, They are turn ing this Office of War Information into asl office Of war baIlyh0o."
 As an example of how owl aI" Iegedly nligtrusted the public, the writer cited . booklet put out for guidance Of retailers tn writing ad. Vegtlgementg to boost the war et- fort.

FIREMEN PRAISED FOR RECENT WORK
Board Takes Official Cog nizance of Successful
 Fight at Wards Flats

The board of fire commissioners praised Chief Thomas E Cavanaugh and members of the Fire Depart ment yesterday for their accomplish ment on April 6, when they con- uuered a serious fire that ragged through a tenement block at 632 Bank street causing $20,o0 damage and busting eight families from the building.
 Commissioners Archibald Phillips (R) said to Chief Cavanaugh as he rementioned the great odds under which the firemen had fought, Your force was handicapped by the worst conditions immaginable. The very cold temperature and the haz- ardous winds certainly didn't make things easy for you" Members Of the board agreed with MT. Phillips when he said that "a little extra ordinary recognition of such meri- torious service is in order. was impressed by the manner in which Chief Cavanaugh Out-generalled that fire. The dispatch with which other officers and men carried out his orders under such adverse con- ditions averted what threatened to develop into great catastrophe"
 Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh and the board of fire commissioners will investigate personnel and equipment of the fire department Saturday afternoon and evening, April 24. it was revealed yesterday by Board Chairman Fipton J. FAelan.
 The board of fire commissioners granted permission to Captain Michael A. Cavanaugh of Engine g, Waterville, as of April 5, to retire. After the committee on men and discipline reported that he had sub. mitted a medical certificate proving him physically unable to be of fur ther service, 8 formal approval was produced by the board.
 Captain Cavanaugh is a brother of Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh and has been on the force for approxi- mately 39 years. Captain Cavanaugh asked for retirement on the grounds of his record some time ago. The board first ignored 1t as 1t regarded long service an invalid reason for retirement during wartime. Three

 This is trucr today than ever be- fore. We are fighting the most highly mechanical war in history The task of arming and equipping our forces is without parallel.
