AMERICAN CITIES
MAY HEAR SIRENS
Lands Warns Our Shores
Not Invulnerable to
Enemy Aerial Attack

Washington, May 4.--(UP)-Civ-
ilian Defense Director James M.
Lands said today that when the
japanese dropped an incendiary
bomb near the California Oregon
boundary line In october, it was
conclusive proof that our shores
are not invulnerable to aerial at
tack"
Writing In the American maya
zine, Lands warned that air raid
sirens may yet blow in earnest in
many American cities. He revealed
that recently a giant bomber re-
turned to this country and pene-
trated far into United States with
out being once spotted by observers
or picked up on listening appar-
atus.
He listed six methods by whcih
the Axis could bomb the United
States:
/. New York and other eastern
cities could be bombed by German
long-range bombers from French
bases. Detroit, Cleveland, and other
lnland cities could be bombed from
Norwegian bases.
2. Pacific coast cities anud such
inland cities as Duluth, Mimi, could
be bombed by Japanese long range
bombers from Kiska.
8. Eastern cities are in "addi-
tional and very real danger" Of be-
Ing bombed from secret land bases
which the Nahs might establish il
Greenland, Labrador, or in the al.
most uninhabited Hudson Bay re.
gion.
4. Eastern and western cite:
could be bombed through the use
Of carriers.
5. Pacific coast and Atlanti,
coast cities could be bombed through
use Of seaplane bombers which
would be well protected by a fog
ban on the Pacific coast.
6. Atlantic shores could be ef-
fectively raided by the Germans
using q speedy naval task force ano
catapult two-engipe bombers from
cruisers and battleships.

BIJNA TIRES, TUBES
SOON TO BE ISSUED

Washington, May 4.-(UP)-Rub-
Der Director william M. Jeffers, on
the eve OF his appearance before the
Truman Senate committee on the
aviation gasoline VS.. synthetic rub
Der dispute today, announced that
"a small number" of tires and tubes
made OF Buna-S synthetic rubber
will be available to B and G gaso-
line ration card holders this month
or next.
He announced that The synthetic
tires and tubes we're produced dur
ing the current experimental period
and will be released through regular
rationing channels.
The Truman committee called
letters TO defend himself against
charges that his too vigorous prose-
cution Of the synthetic rubber pro-
gram resulted In a shortage Of gaso-
line for military planes and slowed
down the production Of navy vessels.

PRICE CONTROL
PLAN HEADACHE
OPA Admits, Food Costs
Particularly, Out of
Hand

Washington, May 4.-(UP)-Of-
flee OF Price Administration Off
Gals admitted today that prices
particularly food prices--are "prac-
tically out Of control"
They pointed out that prices Of
fresh vegetables continue to spiral
and that, beginning with the ship
per-"who apparently does not know
ceilings exist there is violation
from the wholesaler on down.
The admission came less than a
week after Price Administrator
Prentiss M. Brown, replying to John
L. Lewis demands for higher wages
for his miners to meet rising costs
of living, promised to roll back "out
of hand" prices, set ceilings on all
important commodities, and bring
violators Of price ceilings to justice.
OPA officials admitted there has
been little progress in any Of those
directions. Many saw little chance
of specific action in less than q
month, if then.
An OPA spokesman said Browns
aides are hard at work" trying to
devise a plan to make price control
work, but he said they have all but
concluded that the only way out is
through consumer cooperation In
the field of enforcement.
One plan being studied involves
a sort of honor-system- in-re-
verse" under which consumers
would be honor bound" TO check all
asking prices against ceiling prices,
and report violators to local ration
ing boards.
