Washington. June gap -
housewives will have 10 take their
ration books to market again in
buying choice lamb cuts and soft
cheeses. and the butcher will take
one TO two more points a pound
for beef steaks and roasts.
The office OF Price Administra-
ton, announcing point values for
the period from next Sunday
through July 80. said today it was
necessary to put choicer lamb
cuts, chops. steaks and roasts back
under rationing because national
distribution has not been equitabl
Values assigned range from three
points pound, for some chuck
roasts 10 10 points for loin chops.
The supply OF beef steaks and
roasts will be smaller by II per
cent in July. OPA explained in hik-
ing the point values to a record
high. a porterhouse steak, for ex-
ample, will cost Il points a pound,
up two, while seven-inch-cut
standing rib roast goes from eight
.. : points a pound.
BY increasing the points on
some beef steaks and roasts and
establishing point values on pre-
ferred lamb cuts, We hope 10 even
out distribution so that more peo-
pie in more communities will get
share, limited though it MAY be,
OF the beef and lamb available" "
OPA Administrator Chester Bowles
explained. He added that in some
localities It may be days or even
weeks" before the supply improves.

nounced officially today, June %.
by the Ford Motor Company.
Henry Ford's extensively fooled
Willow Run plant built half or
those bombers during the first six

which has brought the production
rate to one bomber every hour.
Four thousand OF the bombers
have been built in the last u
months, company officials pointed
out. Willow Runs first production

Approximately 1900 OF the total
have been shipped out OF the Ford
plant in completed sections to be
assembled at other plants in tho
Southwest. The rest have been as
sembled and flown away from Wiz
low Run. Beginning next week, alt
the Ford-built bombers will be fully
assembled at Willow Run. In re
cent months fewer and fewer
"knock,downs" have been shipped
from. the Ford plant and the fly

low Run officials perhaps are proud
est Of the quality OF their bomb
ers. They revealed that the auto
motive-type precision tooling has
resulted in such uniformity OF pro-
duction that more than half OF all
the Ford.built Liberators are 40
cepted for delivery on their maiden
flights.

st. James A. M. E. Church Notes:
On Feb. IA, 1850, 1874 years ago,
our Negro apostle of religious free
dom and first Bishop of the A.M.E.
church, Richard Allen, was born.
Our 10:45 am. service, Feb. Is,
was in commemoration of this
event. Our pastor, Rev. B. N.
Moore, arrayed in a new John Wes-
ley robe, the gift of the senior usher
board, delivered an impressive his
torical narration of ''The Apostle
of Freedom" and like Richard Allen,
he implored his listeners to have
faith and hope and strive together
for the PRONUNCIATION of the gospel.
He said the church is safe and
under God will weather hate, perse-
cution and this global conflict and
make her landing into the peaceful
harbor of greater achievements in
racial uplift and human salvation.
Mr.. Robert Bryant of Omaha,
Neb., Joined church. The follow
ing out-of-town visitors were Mrs.
Callie White, st. Louis, Mo. and
Mrs. Maggie Blakey, Yankton, S. D.
The race relations program began
at 5 pm, last Sunday. A number
of our youth group participated in
the fellowship and devotional meet
ing as hosts to the two leagues of
Calvary Evangelical church. St.
James youth led the worship period.
Serving of refreshments preceded
the discussion led by DR.. Clarence
Rife of Hamline University. His
subject was Australia"
At 8 PM, about so members of
the church, under the direction of
Mrs. Cora E. Moore, the senior
choir and Rev. Moore participated
in a race relations service. Mrs.
Bertha King accompanied the choir.
The topic of Rev. Moore's forceful,
uncompromising message was
Grace Relation Fellowship"
During the past five weeks, men,
bers and friends of st. James have
given more than $500 in War Bonds
to the building fund, in addition to
many smaller contributions by
weekly subscribers.

Soviets, in my opinion, is a move
to outf1ank the growing menace of
fascism in the democratic countries.
Let's examine the record: Britain
differentiates in political and eco
nomic status in their colonies. Brit
ain only in charge of Palestine con-
ferred upon by the League of Ma
tions, gave Palestine to the Arabs
and to the Jews, and in 1889 issued
and still refuses to nullify the white
paper on Palestine (refusing Jews
to migrate to Palestine) which
paper in reality is a ''black and
bloody" one; and as late as now
freed and harbors the exalted Mr..
Mosley, the British Hitler, who I
suppose they want US to believe
has changed his fascist-twisted
mind.
United States, too: When the
Loyalists were fighting the Spanish
fascists, Hitler and Mussolini to
save their newly adapted democ-
racy, the United States refused help
to the Loyalists. Even after Hitler
declared war on US and yet America
refuses to curb Hitler propaganda.
Some United States Congressman
and Senators even encourage and
help it. Race hatred flourishes in
our good old u. S. A.
The Russian people are not what
our so-called Americans told us they
were. They are opening their doors
also to people of other countries
who like to save themselves from
fascists' slavery.
"WAKE UP AMERICA" or you
will have to fight another war with
the Spanish, Nazis and Jap fascists.
