Raj Planes Cripple
Blockade Runners
Feeding Nazi Plants

LONDON, May 27 (P.-The RAF
Coastal Commands torpedo and
rocket bombers have crippled the
enemy's blockade-running feedline
to German war plants through the
Bay of Biscay, while British planes
from Italy again have streWn the
lower Danube Military waterway
with mines to throttle another
source of supply, it was announced
today.
During the last six months the
coastal command planes have at
tackled 563 enemy vessels and total
lof 81 have been sunk or damaged,
the Raj announcedd. Assessments
on an additional Is are still to be
made.
The attacks were made by planes
equipped with bombs, torpedoes and
new rocket projectiles. No figures
indicating the success of the rockets
alone are availbale.
Operations Completed.
The second series of mining ope-
rations covering hundreds of miles
of the Danube River have been COM
pleted by Raj Liberators and Well
ingtons of the strategic air force,
an official announcement in Naples
said. The operations, carried out
at low altitude and at night, effec-
lively have cut down German water
way traffic and increased the strain
on the central European rail sys-
TEN, by closing the Iron Gate River
route over which much Romanian
oil was shipped to Germany via
Hungary.
AS result of the coastal COM
mand's operations from Britain last
year the enemy is seriously short Of
merchant ships, minesweepers and
escort vessels. The Nazis now are
forced to employ nearly 1,0O0, 900
men, largely trained gunners, for
her coastwise transport and escort
work.
Rotterdam, once the main port
for Swedish ore, is now unused, and
traffic has been diverted to less con-
venient ports, such as Emden. In
addition, Swedish insurance COM
panies have refused full insurance
to shipping going as far south as
Rotterdam.
Fighters Use Rockets.
After disclosure that the coastal
command has been using rocket-f1r-
ing planes for some time, the Air
Ministry announced today that
rocket-flring Typhoon fighters also
have been spearheading recent
operations by the RAF End Tactical
Air Force.
The rockets have been directed
principally against locomotives, con-
crete gun emplacements, wireless
installations and other targets of
vital military Importance

Nutrition Notes

If any of your JAM SPREADS
have developed a MOLD, due to
an improper seal, lift off the
mold and put unspoiled portion
in double boiler. Heat thoroughly
until melted. Then put over direct
heat and bring to a boil. Pour
it boiling hot into clean, steriliz-
ed containers and seal. Never
store home canned foods in damp
places where lids are likely to
rust.
One Of the secrets in using
savory herbs is to add only
little bit. Try THYME in snap
beans, peas or carrots; MARIO
RAM in peas or carrots; SAGE
in sops, salad dressing, or seal
loped dishes; and DILL in salad
dressings.
Cook ROOT VEGETABLES in
a small amount of water until
tender. Don't overlook. Serve in
their own juice.
Try your LEFTOVER MEAT in
turnovers. Chop meat and sea-
son with garlic, green pepper,
and roast drippings. Roll the
pastry dough thin, cut in squares,
pile on some meat mixture, fold

Launch Check-Up Of
Motorists Use Of
Gasoline Coupons

Possession by motorist of
either unendorsed or detached gas
coupons will result in the issuance
of a citation to appear before
War Price and Rationing Board,
Darrell r. Parker, District Enfor-
cement officer for the Office OF
Price Administration announced
today in launching a checkup
drive which will center in gas sta
tions. throughout the state.
Meeting with the District Board
Operations, Mr.. Parker outlined a
program for enforcement officers
and board members which will
extend over a period of the next
three weeks.
Regular checks of motorists
will be made at all gas stations,
wherein the drivers will be asked
by investigators to show their
gas books. Refusal by the motor
ist to produce their coupon books
will constitute, in itself, a viola
ton of the rationing regulations,
Mr.. Parker pointed out.
investigators must i y
themselves, and in return the full
cooperation of the motorist is
expected" said Mr.. Parker. This
is not a policing campaign, but
one to stimulate education and
understanding of the vital need for
drivers to comply with the simple
rules and thus break up the
black market operations in gas
coupons" he stated.
Members and employees of War
Price and Rationing Boards, OPA
investigators, and police depart
ments are the only persons au-
thoriZed to inspect coupon books.
The books are not to be retain
ed by the investigator, but if an
irregularity appears, a form clta-
ton is made out and turned into
the enforcement division of OPA
The motorists board is then not
flied and summons will then
be issued, Mr.. Parker explained
No moving vehicle is to be stop
ped, and the checkup will be con-
fined exclusively to gas stations
at this time.
Assurances that filling station
operators are fully cooperative in
the drive have been received by
the OPA, it was stated. Proper
endorsement on the face Of all
coupons is of the utmost import
ance to the station operator, and
he is as anxious to have the
motorist comply as is the OPA," ,"
said Mr.. Parker.
A similar coupon endorsement
drive is being conducted nation
ally, with slight variations in cita-
tions procedure depending upon
local conditions. In some areas
triplicate citations are immediate
ly made out when a violator is
found, one copy going to the
driver, another to his board, and
a third retained by the enforce
ment division. Hearings before
the board on all violators are to
be held within ten days, however.
