GREEK WAR FUND
 PROGRAM SUNDAY
''Shrine of Victory" to Be Shown at Temple Hall
 Afternoon, Evening

Local contributions to the Greek
 War Relief Fund, to aid unclotheo and starving natives of this war torn little country, will be swelled by the
 presentation of Shrine Of Victory" a new film, at Temple Hall on Sun day next.
 The film, smuggled oL; of Festung in Europe, by an intrepid Greek patriot, is an actual and factual &C., count of Greece's defiance that rock ed the Axis and thrilled the world.
 Shrine Of Victory, a full length sound motion picture with accom- panying English narrations, is the story of heroic Greece, a country whose heritage of courage and love of freedom has kept alive the fierce hatred for their Nazi oppres .. Before invasion by the Nazis they asked only to be let alone now all they ask are the clotfes, food, weapons and means to throw off the yoke of Nazism.
 In this first film story of defiant Greece, Petty Officer Leonides, m actual Greek hero, l. seen in the central character. In sharp, incisive terms the film shows how the war affected every facet O. life in Greece and the exciting climax shows just what steps the Greeks are taking to bring freedom to tlleir country the cradle of democracy--th through guerilla warfare and puh.ic resist ance to Nazi domination. The film taken in Greece has been prepared for presentation in this country by 2Oth Century Fox.
 There will be two complete per- formances on Sunday at 2:30 and 800 p. m.

In other words it was primarily
the initiatorS and free enterpriseers
was it, who brought on the great
business depression that began late
in 1892 he asked rs that what
you mean, Bill? Is that really pos
sible?
Were you not aware that in that
period the whole civilized world
went into a tail-spin? That the
European debacle began in 1881 with
the bankruptcy of the great Ans
talt bank in Vienna; that England
was driven off the gold standard in
September, 1881, a year and a half
before we were, and SO on?"
Lamont invited Benet to have "a
cool drink with me some afternoon.
to fix up with me simple little
international plan that will prevent
wars. Then, he said, I'VE shall be
able to avoid postwar panics and
depressions and you will finally get
real idea of the system that is
variously called the profit system,
or the capital system, or the saw
ings and thrift system
LET Us be careful you and I. in

banker concluded, mot to kill off

Banker Gives Poet
Lesson i'm Finance G

NEW YORK, July 8. (UP)-Bank-
er Thomas w. Lamont gave a lesson
in finance today to a poet-William
Rose Benet, Pulitzer prize winner,
who had charged that capital was
"cashing in on the war"
In a friendly, open letter address,
ed to Dead Bill" the chairman of
j. P. Morgan, Inc. said that in
stead of reaping big profits capital
faced the likelihood of dangerously
depicting reserves necessary for re-
conversion to peace time produc-
ton.
The odd literary duel between
poet and banker developed in the
Saturday Review of Literature, of
which Benet is an associate editor.
Dear Bill. I do not believe you
need to be concerned about the big
boys in industry Lamont wrote.
He added that he had personal
knowledge that taxes were danger
ously depicting" corporate reserves.
"Of course" he continued, I'VE
may squeeze the corporations until
the pips squeak, but let us leave
them enough to prepare for this vi
tai task of reconversion."
Lamont recalled the poet
charge that I'VE have seen unfet-
tered initiative and free enterprise
run country right into the hole. "

On the fourth day of the sprawl
ing battle between Orel and Bel
gorod, in which the Russians ac-
knowledged slight Nazi gains at the
lower end of the line, while Berlin
claimed breakthroughs at both ends,
the pattern of the conflict began
to emerge.
Russian and German accounts
made it evident that the Nazis were
striving to slice across the base of
the Skursk salient looping deep
into their lines by attacking south
eastward from Orel and northeast
ward from Belgorod.
WOULD DOOM ARMY
If the trap could be sprung in
time, massive Red army force
presumably would be doomed in the
same manner as Marshal Friedrich
Won Paulus' sixth German armE at
Stalingrad when the Russians iso-
lated it and accounted for its $780,
600 troops to the last man.
Moscow conceded that the Ger
mans had blasted out slight gains
in the Belgorod sector for the sec
ond straight day, but claimed no
decisive breakthrough had been
scored anywhere and the Soviets
had not budged an inch on the Orel-
Kursk section of the 165-mile front.
Tallying the cost to the Nazis
of the first three days of the Of
fensive. the Russians said they had

Allied Production
OF Arms 10 Be Four
Times Axis Output
Nelson Tells of Great
War Schedule of United
Nations in Coming Year

TORONTO, Ont, July 8.
CUP)-Chairman Donald NJ.
Nelson of the War Produc-
ton Board disclosed today
that Allied arms output IN
1914 may be nearly four times as
great as that of the Axis.
He said in a speech before the
Canadian club that the allies out
produced the Axis by almost Two
TO one in 1912, and that in 1943 the
United Nations output may "relia-
bly," be expected to be nearly three
times Axis production.
The North American continent
alone, he said, Is producing this
year twice as much in combat NUM-
tlonS as the Axis.
POINTS TO PUNISHMENT
The trend is inexorable," he said.
1t points relentlessly to the just
and terrible punishment which the
)ut, aged world will visit on the
ra5cIst aggreSsors."
Nelson's remarks came less than
48 hours after he had released in
Washington a progress report show
ing serious" slackening in United
States arms production in May,
and amid indications that the June
record would also be disappointing.
The report did not explain the
May lag, but Nelson at press con-
ference in Washington before de-
partment for Toronto blamed it on
manpower problems, floods, strikes
and other developments. Both Mel
son and Vice Chairman Charles E.
Wilson agreed that the June record
will not show substantial improve
ment over MAJ. But they insisted
that they expect sharp upSving
in late summer and fall which will
enable the nation to meet it's 1913
arms goals.
WARNS ENEMY
Nelson warned the enemy today
not to take too much comfort from
the so-called sagging of the home
front in the United States in re-
cent days" At the same time, he
said, he would be the last to mini
mize the seriouSHeffects of spasmodic
strikes and riots on the war produc-
ton program.
