TeIegrom Says
1t. Brod Phillips
Is Prisoner Of War

News reached Libby Tuesday that
1t. Brad Phillips, Libby airman, is
prisoner of war in Germany. This
good news was brought to his moth
er, Mrs. ]. B. Clowers, in a tele-
gram from the War Department
which stated that a letter would
follow with further details. 1t.
Phillips had been reported missing
in action few weeks ago. He was
a navigator and had been in the
European theatre of war for some
time.
Recently somewhat encouraging
news had come to relatives here
and to his wife in Seattle. A let
ter from a brother airman to Mrs.
Phillips told of others in the flight
having seen Phillips ship losing al
titude rapidly while on a bombing
mission over enemy territory and
that at least four of the ships crew
had been seen to bale out. The let
ter said that perhaps others had
also taken to their parachutes but
four were definitely seen to do SO.
In view Of this information, hope
was held that Phillips might be
alive. The telegram of !. Tuesday
makes that hope certainty.

"A super job of spoting by Earl

out, we had to build raft and

frequently dropped onto the scene

Attends Machinery
Dealers MEETING

Paul Stamschror was in Spokane
over the week end attending a
meeting of dealers of the ]. l.
Case farm machinery company. A
number of prominent officials of
the company were present from
their eastern headquarters and Mr..
Stamschror said the meeting was a
most interesting and instructive
one
r One official gave as the judg-
ment Of the company that supplies
of farm machinery would not be as
good this year as they were last
season. He said the Case company
had plenty of material on hand and
the factories were all ready to start
at once producing farm machinery
but that the needed labor was not
available and the government
would not yet give its consent to
that type Of production. If the COM
pany could convert to producing
farm machinery, it could swamp all
dealers with machinery within a
short time, he said.
Speaking of conditions that are
apt to follow the war, the same
speaker advised the dealers, and
everyone else for that matter, to
pay their debts at the present time
and put every possible dollar into
war bonds. He said the Case COM
pany is SO busy helping to win the
war that it didn't have much time
to think of anything else.

Jap Bd||obll
Found In
Timber

Joe Kujawa, mail carrier to the
district south of Libby, brought a
story back to town Wednesday to
the effect that Japanese balloon
had been found by pulpwood cut
tiers in the timber some distance
this side of Kalispell The balloon
was said to be large enough to have
carried from six to eight men, and
had Jap flags at both ends of it.
There was no basket on the balloon
but in its place was a bomb which
had failed to explode when the
balloon came to earth.
The story was told to KujaWa by
the mail carrier who comes out
from Kalispell. He said the Flat
head county sheriff had taken men
into the timber to bring out the
balloon and that secret service men
were working on the case. It has
been impossible to obtain any fur
ther confirmation of the story.

Not Much Hope
For New Tres

We wish that by waving some
magic wand OPA could manage to
take care of the accumulated back
log Of unified applications for new
tires, said H. B. Wallace of the local
War Price and Rationing Board to-
day. However. Mr.. Wallace pointed
out, that isn't possible-yet. Stocks
must be increased and new tire pro-
duction stepped up still more before
every "B" and c. application can
be approved. We are still faced with
an acute tire shortage Recapping
and conservation are still urgent
necessities. So make your old tires
last little longer. If production in
crcases and strict conservation
methods continue, your chances will
be getting better every day.
