Gen. Clay Dise|oses
Shortage Of Shells
| Needed for Landinu
BY the Associas.d Press.

By the Associated Press.
Maj. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, di-
rector of materiel for the Army
Service Forces, has informed
Senate war investigators that a
theater commander failed to get
half the 155-mm. ammunition
needed for a recent landing op-
Grafton.
Gen. Clay, who appeared before
the War Investigating Committee
last Wednesday, was revealed last
night to have asserted that in one
production category-8-inch howitzer
shells-there was a SO per cent
shortage. The committee is con-
sidering the whole question of war
supplies and surpluses.
Gen. Clay said there were serious
shortages in number of categories,
largely because of manpower prob
lem. But on small-arms ammuni-
ton, he said, the best estimates
show that "our stocks on hand, plus
production, would carry us through
1915, leaving us at that time with
the authorized reserve levels"
The supply Of .30-caliber ammu-
milton will last 10 months, he said,
and there is II months supply of
.5O-caliber.
Request for Bombs Rejected.
The general made these points:
A recent urgent request from
Britain for 1000 one-ton bombs
had to be turned down because we
knew we couldn't make them"
Ample supplies of crude rubber,
synthetics and manufacturing equip
men are available, but not the man
power, so the Army and civilian
economy face an acute situation
in truck and bus tires. We cannot
keep our present offensives going
unless We have the Iarge-size tires
needed for heavy trucks and combat
vehicles"
The Army faces a difficult prob
lena deficit of 50,000,000 yards
this year-in obtaining enough
duck to provide tents for men on
combat fronts where they are in
many instances the only form of
housing available.
Shortages Enumerated.
He testified that deliveries OF war
supplies in July were about per
cent under the, forecast made on
the first Of the month and per
cent below the June rate.
Included in the shortages, he said,
were a per cent deficit in heavy
trucks. 5 per cent in bombs, IS per
cent in l55-mm. shells, and 46 per
cent in 240-mm. howitzer shells.
The latest revised figure for
August. Gen. Clay said. resulted in
reduction in anticipated deliveries
of $17,000000 in heavy trucks, So
100000 each in light-heavy trucks.
tanks and bombs and $1,000 900 in
heavy field artillery ammunition.

.UrgesCigdref


Sam Be-, member OF the execu-
tive board OF the Detroit Retail
Druggists Association, today ad-
vocated rationing of cigarets as
the solution of the smoke prob
lem which is rapidly becoming a
national issue.
Although Washington has re-
jected the rationing as imprac-
teal, Bee said he spoke for the
900 members Of his association
which includes practically all the
druggists in the Detroit metropoli-
tan area.
Handle cigarets like liquor
or sugar or shoes and there will
be enough TO go around" he as
serted.
Bee said his investigation which
took him TO all sections Of the
county convinced him there is an
active black market.
"But no one knows how To
stop IL, not even the 0PA," he
added.
Be- said he had talked 20 drug
gistS who had been offered prices
as high as a dollar above the
ceiling for cartons of efgarets.
He said they had refused the
offer.
"Some Of the dealers get as
many AS $50 cartons week.
Imagine what an awful temp
tation that money is" he said.

as freedom.
Long continuance in power
means loss of freedom and I'm
dedicated to ending such power -
the 1910 presidential candidate de-
clared last night in an address at a
political rally during which he and
Mrs. Willkie shook hands with
nearly 1000 persons in 40 minutes.
"It is impossible" he declared,
with human nature as 1t is, for one
group to have power too long with
out corrupting itself.
I'm going to break this power If
I can"
Confident Of Democratic Defeat.
He said earlier in press confer
ence that he was confident of the
defeat of "the decadent, dissolving
Democratic party by reborn, Wig
orous Republican party"
He said he was on the current
tour, not only as a candidate for the
Republican presidential nomination,
but as worker to unity the Re-
publican party. In Oregon, en- route
North, he had expressed confidence
he would be the COP presidential
nominee this year.
At the press conference Mr.. Willkie
said the Democratic party was fall
ing apart and that if the President
sis reelected he will be frustrated
by the division in his party"
Among other things, Mr.. Willkie
said the administration was fighting

1.-THE leader OF the Democratic
party has all the prestige and power
of the presidency behind him, yet
repeatedly on consequential meas
ures he has been unable to get his
own party to 60 along with him."
he said.
COP Will Pick Right Man."
"The Republicans have not yet
selected their leaders. There nat
urally are differences between the
men who aspire to lead the party,
but I am confident that the party
will choose the right man and that
the whole party will unit behind
him."
Assailing the administration tax
policy and conduct of war financing,
he said: 1--WE have to tax every
available dollar, and particularly
the dollars that the war has pro-
duced. We shouldn't mortgage the
future, which would be to mortgage
the boys that are in the service"
After the war We must exactly
reverse the economy and cut taxes
to the minimum to stimulate in
centive and enterprise" he said.
He will speak in nearby Tacoma
tonight.
