Overcoming Prejudice
None of these things was ac-
compiiShci without fight
against greed and prejudice and
superstition. Dairymen back in
1900 thought paSicuri2inS and
certifying milk involved too much
expense.
II took long time to overcome
the public's prejudice against in

made! DR.. Abt made return
visit to Europe in 1928. In one of
the chi!drcu's hospitals he found

like that epidemic for 10 years. In
America diphthcria immuniza:ion
had become general practice. In
Europe the old prcjudiccs held it
back.

 IN ! PARTS

CHUNGKING, June g. Jap forces, only g miles north and northeast of the rail junction of Hengyang in south central Human Province, are closing in on the town of Hengshan in their swift drive down the Slang River from captured Changsha, a Chinese army spokes- man said tonight.
 He said that six Jap divisions, to- taling from 100000 to 10000 troops are engaged in an all-out drive aim- ed at splitting China in two and wrestling control of the entire Can ton-H -Hankow railway route.
 The Chinese added that the en- emy is preparing to throw even more troops into the battle, including two divisions transferred from southern Honan Province, where a drive is also in progress to seal the Japs from the Peiping- -Hankow line re- captured by the Chinese.

 BATTERING
 (HERB0URG
Region Is Reported Pdrdl- yzed, Isolated : Third
 Phase of War 10 Begin
By W. W. HERcHER

ADVANCED HEADQUARTERS OF THE AMERICAN NINTH AIR FORCE, SOMEW HERE IN FRANCE, June 23-Air supremacy has been attained over Normandy, the battle-ground is effectively iso- lated. and the Ninth Fighter Com mand is now ready to plunge into the third phase of the invasion plan--a direct assault on the enemy in support of ground troops.
 Maj. Gen. Elwood R. Quesada made the disclosure in a terse re- view of the part the Ninth Air Force has played in helping the Allies gain the first firm foothold on French soil The General told the correspondents the Allied Air Forces are making it difficult and at times impossible for the Ger mans to move troops and equipment into the battle area, and said Ninth losses were mostly from flax. and were slightly less than anticipated.
 Greatest Attack
 Col. R. w. McClenehan of the Fighter Command, said the Cher bourg region is paralyzed from what was probably the greatest tactical air attack in the history of warfare
 McClenehan said the enemy is now forced to move his strength at night, which is a demoralizing fac- tor in a battle plan. Four major rail lines in this broad battle zone were cut by bombing, the Colonel said, since the Allied Air Force began softening the area behind the beaches four months ago.
 He said that 55,000 tons of bombs were dropped in the campaign, and disclosed that from D-Day to June IS the Ninth Air Force destroyed thousand of locomotives and other rolling stock in the area.
 The Ninth flew about 22,000 sor- ties during this time, shooting down 80 enemy aircraft, with nine prob- ables, and 16 were damaged on the ground.

CALAIS IS POUNDED IN
 HEAVY RAID
Round inc Clock Attacks Carried Out Against
 Rocket Bomb Coast

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS OF THE ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCES. June 23.-A force of up to 250 American Liberators and Fortresses stabbed through clouds for the eighth straight day in the round the clock attacks on the rocket bomb coast in the Pas de Calais area, giving it the fourth heavy pounding in 24 hours.
 Occasional rocket bombs con- tinued to zoom over England, but British Home Secretary Morrison assured Parliament they have done little d mage of national im- portance."
 Today's attack came after a night in which Royal Air Force heavies struck at the Nazi reinforcement crammed rail yards at Reims and Laon, bringing to climax one of the greatest days aerial operations since the launching of the Nor mandy invasion. Seven bombers are missing from the assaults on these key rail points, both about 80 miles northeast of Paris.
 British light bombers hit rail tar gets at Lisieux, Dreux and Evreux last night, while. fighters and In- truders destroyed seven German planes over northern France.

The W ashingt ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ct. Col. Robert 8. Allen now on activ service with the ArmyO

WASHINGTON-Few b u s 1 n leaders know it, but many inside the War Production Board were flabbergasted at the rulings that no company getting less than a $12,OOO, ,000 cutback should receive Government aid or consideration. This was the recent decision of Charley Wilson's special commit tee on postwar conversion.
 What it means is that the big companies which got most of the war orders will now get Govern ment help, while the little con- panies won't. For instance, if a plant is notified by the Army or Navy to cutback war order of $l1,O00,OOO worth of jeeps, it gets no consideration from the Govern ment. But if it gets spcked a $12,- 100000 cancellation, it can get help. A lot of small companies doing a million dollars worth of business or less are going to be among the hardest hit.
 It still remains a fact that seven U. s. companies got 50 percent of all war orders They are General Motors, Du Pont, Bethlehem Steel, Newport News Ship, New York Ship, Curtiss- Wright and Standard Oil of New Jersey.
 JESSE JONES SEES HIS BOSS
 When Jesse Jones went in to see his boss in the White House last week, ostensibly it was not over the Texas political revolt. Instead FDR wanted to see him about the subsidy for stripper oil wells, which the rest of the Administration agreed on but for which Jesse re- fused to write a REC check Jesse smilingly reversed himself on the oil subsidy following the White House talk
 But his position regarding the Texas anti-Roosevelt revolt re- mains the same: T never knew anything about it until read it in the papers" This, in effect, was what he took occasion to tell the President during their oil con- ference. Friends gathered after wards that FDR didn't exactly be- lieve him.
 Dear Alben" Barkley would give his eye-teeth to know whether or not the President has completely forgiven him for his sudden revolt on the tax veto message last win ter. The answer, according to White House insiders, is that the President has almost forgiven him, but not quite. If and when there is a fourth term, Jesse Jones, they
