New Orders
For Restaurants

Coffee will cost five cents in all
restaurants and list of 40 basic
food items must be posted in every
eating establishment after July 81
according to James Crutchfield
price analyst from the San Diego
OPA office who spoke to restaurant
eurs at the California hotel Wednes-
day morning.
The restaurant men were invited
by Crutchfield to pick local COM
mittee of ten to select the 40 basic
items, which will govern the rest
of the prices.
He suggested that the ten men
be chosen from the following cities
as follows: FL Centre 2; Calexico
2; Holtville l; Imperial /; Cali
patria, /; Brawley, 2; and inland, l
Members of the office of price
administration from the San Diego
office who attended the restaurant
meeting in addition to Crutchfield
were Ralph Tuttle field price liaia

left to write his column.
But every night he religiously
reads his letters with their many
and varied requests, mostly from
folks in the United States who have
been advised that a member OF their
family has been killed in action.
They appeal to Ernie to ferret out
additional intimate details.
Such is Pyle's fame that last
night he received a letter from Gin
cinnati, Ohio, addressed, Ernie

one tickled him because of the
moment of delivery, Ernie painstak-
ingly was mending his only pair
of khaki pants by cantlelight UNI

of an artillery barrage.
DOCTOR WRITES
The next letter he opened was
from a doctor in Michigan, who had
enclosed dollar bill. The doctor
wrote:

job of reporting the war.

ones, but only those that have been
worn by prominent people or con-

u. 5. Subs Destroy
"a More Jap
Ships, Total 80b

WASHINGTON, July 10. CUP) -
American submarines, continuing
their steady ATTACKS on Japanese
shipping, have sunk IA more enemy
vessels, including two combat ships,
the navy revealed Wednesday.
The new successes, raising the
total number of Japanese vessels
hit in this war by U. S. submarines
to BOG, includes 654 sunk, 81 prob
ably sunk and lis damaged.
1nasmuch as the navy has ceased
listing the probably sunk and dam
aged categories, the total figure is
undoubtedly considerably higher.
The latest bag by the American
undersea craIv includes one des-
troyer. one medium naval auxiliary,
10 cargo vessels, one small cargo
transport, and an escort vessel, a
navy cOmmunique said.
The sinkings announced WedneS-
day bring the total reported for the
month to Sian average of almost
two enemy ships day
The American subs are getting
an increasing number of combatan
ships, probably because they are
able to operate much nearer to
Japanese home waters with the ad-
vance of American power across
the Pacific.

cent Henry A. Wallace is impossible
and has sent word to this Demo-
cratic national convention that he
would be happy to run with 60
year-old Senator Harry S. Truman,
munitions production investigator
of Missouri.
This word broke the deadlock in
to which the convention rapidly
was heading as ut met Wednesday
for it's first session with Wallace
present to fight for his political life
after a hurry-up journey from
Washington.
ON FIRST BALLOT
1t looked like Truman on the first
ballot now, perhaps Thursday night,
with Wallace as runner-up.
| The convention convened at 1900
pm.
Mr.. RooSevelt's okay of Truman
reached this convention after the
President hao forced war mobili-
cation director James F.. ByreS, of
South Carolina, out of the contest.
The Presidents willingness to take

committee chairman Robert F..
Hannegan who told the United
Press: 80 -.z-----
1T is not correct that Mr.. Roose-
welt has set up a second and third
choice CATER Wallace. But the
President has indicated that he
would &c happy to run with Senator
Truman, and that he thinks Tru-
man would strengthen the ticket"
That statement came about 20
minutes after Wallace had left the
train at an outlying station, an
ncuncing he would go direct to the
stadium where the convention was

headquarters in the Sherman hotel.
Wallace will deliver a seconding
speech Thursday afternoon for Mr.
Roosevelt, who will be renominated
for a fourth term in time ito ad-
dress the delegates by radio in the
evening. The seconding speech will
