Churchill to Warn England
of New Nazi Terror Weapons

inside Germany and the possible
effects.
To be Comprehensive
with Allied armies on the road
to victory everywhere and with un
rest and uncertainty mounting in
the Axis nations, Churchllls war
review probably will be the most
comprehensive he has ever given.
Possibility was seen OF a debate
in Commons over demands OF some
members OF Parliament, represent
ing all parties, that the enemy be
given clearer indication OF the
terms TO be imposed under the
unconditional surrender pledge.
The government has insisted the
terms must depend on circum. tanc-
es OF the surrender.
Some discussion may develop
over the advisability OF reprisals
against Germany for flying bomb
attacks.
Hint on Turkey
Churchill also may give a hint
on the role Turkey will play.
While the Prime Minister doubt.
less will refer to the Polish situaa
ton, It Is considered doub full that
he will go into much detail at this
time in view OF the impending visit
TO Moscow OF Stani'l1w Mikolajcz
yk, premier OF the Polish govern
ment In exile. The latter now is
en- route from London TO Russia
TO seek an accord between his fac
ton and members OF the Soviet
sponsored Polish national commit
tee OF liberation In Moscow.

Homer w. VIM, executive secre-

Association, today asserted the ma.

real danger of a general break
down due to inability to obtain
heavyduty tires.
mot a day goes by" VIM said
In a statement, "but what we are
forced II leave civilian goods on
the docks. and there is a very real
danger OF a general breakdown
along the entire motor transporta-
ton front.
Indiana, the center of the ma
tons war production, finds itself
faced with the very real POSSIBLE
ity that wGr goods produced here
cannot be moved"
VIM attributed what he termed
"a life and death struggle" of the
truck industry to inability to OBJ
tain tires because OF drasticaDy in
creased demands Of the armed
forces. He added the armed fore
es are taking 9S per cent OF 900
by 20 and 1000 by 20 truck tires
and SO per cent of S25 by EOS.
August allotments OF heavy duty
tires were cut drastically he said.
In Indiana, for example. they were
out one third. and seventy six per-
cent OF Indiala's trucks hauling war
goods were without spares. Due
to lack OF tires 146 "over-the-road"
trucks were out OF use in the state
he stated.
Eighty per cent of Indiana's truck
operators, he said. were unable
to see their way clear to operate

Meat Supply
to be Lower

Washington, July Slap Re-
flecting reduced supplies and a
lower level OF livestock production,
civilian meat supplies during the
fall and early winter may be s or
10 per cent below those available
in the first half OF this year.
This forecast was given by the
Agriculture Department today in a
report on the food situation which
said that food supplies as a whole
will be relatively plentiful during
the fall and winter.
Reduced supplies OF meats and
dairy products will be offset. the
report said, by larger supplies OF
fresh fruits and vegetables and
cereal products.
The department said the civilian
food supply is being maintained at
present levels despite large war
requirements because OF the tire
mendous increase" in total food
production since the beginning OF
the war. The volume OF agricul.
tural production OF foods for sale
and farm use in 1914 is expected 10
be IS per cent above the 1859
average and almost 5 per cent larg-
er than last year. Most OF this
increase over 1913 will be in food
grains-principslly wheat, fruits,
truck crops and meats.
The department said meat pro
duetion this year probably will
reach $4,000. 900 900 pounds. dress
