Five COP Governors
|0usied; Republicans
Regain Two States
BY the ASSOC inted press.

By the Associated Press.
Democrats unseated Republican
Governors in five States, but nearly
complete election returns today gave
COP leaders something to cheer
about, too.
They showed Republicans had
Overturned Democratic administra-
tions in two States, while electing
COP executives In six others, which
gave popular majorities to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
In Connecticut, Illinois. Minne-
| sofa. Montana and Delaware, Re-
publican incumbents were reelected.
And In New Hampshire, Republican
Mayor Charles M. Dale Of Ports
mouth successfully bucked the
Roosevelt tide to win the guberna-
torial test.
OF the 81 governorships at stake
in this election, the Democrats ap-
peared to have won is, l of which Is
close enough to still be called doubt
ful. This would give them a total
of IS In the Nation to % for the
Republicans, as against the previous
lineup Of 26 Republicans and "a
| Democrats.
The doubtful State is. Utah, where
Democratic Gov. Herbert B. Nav
was leading Republican j. Bracken
Lee by less than 1,500 votes on the
returns from 1888 out of 870 pre-
cincts.
Republican executives were dis
placed in Ohio, Massachusetts,, Mis-
souri,, Idaho and Washington. Re-
publcans captured Indiana and
North Dakota from the Democrats.
In Indiana, Ralph F. Gates, for
mer Republican State chairman, de-
feated Senator Samuel D. Jackson to
become the first Hoosier COP Gov
ernor since 1882. Another Demo-
cratic Senator, Mon G. Wallgren,
ousted COP Gov. Arthur B. Langlie

Ernest ("Firpo') Grady,

to Soviet Russia with the mer-
chant marine, is filled with adj
miration for the endurance and
cheerfulness of the people there.
Grady, whose travels took him TO

some from Moscow were tran
ferred to the forest country around
the White Sea. Arriving practically
without belongings. they were
housed in simply constructed bar
racks and allowed only the meager
rations which all Russians had aft
er the grain-producing areas of
the Ukraine were overrun. Yet
they managed TO carry on the ardu-
Gus work of numbering and steve
doring.
Soldiers home on leave would
work in the woods IL or ii
hours day until 1t was time to
report back to the Army, he said.
They took 1t all with smile.
Gradys convoy was the last to be
attacked by the German cruiser,
Scharnhorst, which was Shadowed
and finally sunk by the British
Navy. He believed that the MUIR

Advertisinq

Billions

DR.. L. d. II. Weld says that
the dollar volume of advertis-
ing in 1943 was $2,130, 100000,
an increase of 17fo over 1912.
This is the first time that adj
vertising expenditures have
gone over $2,OOO,OOO,OO0 since
1880.
The reason Is simple enough.
The government foOts a large
part of the bill.
The big advertisers succeeded
in getting ruling from the Treas

expenditures on advertising are de-
ductible as operating expense be-

1RUN. Spain, July 15.-Germans
admitted today that because of
badly disrupted rail lines in France
they may be unable to bring three
trainloads of British refugees to
the French-Spanish frontier for a
British-German exchange of in
termed nationals.
The three trains carrying 0OC
British civilians and war prisoners
from Germany were due here las,
Tuesday en- route to Lisbon for ex-
change with Germans who arrived
there aboard the liner Drottning-
holm July IL, but the only informa-
ton here was that they were some
where east of Bordeaux"
A Nazi official admitted French
underground sabotage and Allied
bombs had so smashed railroad and
highway communications in south
ern, France that it might be i'm
possible to get the Allied civilians
and wounded war prisoners to Irun
He limited the Germans would
not spare the troops necessary tc
clear the way for the exchange
trains. even though they realized
the delay already was clear con-
firmation that the Germans were
by no means undisputed masters of
southern France.

Small Craft Warned
OF Storm Moving
Up Atlantic Coast

Small craft operating In the
Washington area were warned by
the Weather Bureau last night to
remain in port and stand by for
futher reports on a tropical storm
reported travelling north from the
Bahamas along the Atlantic Coast.
In the Norfolk, Va, area, all naval
pilots and aircraft crews were or
dered by the Fifth Naval District
headquarters to return to their
quarters because of. possible bad
weather.
The Weather Bureau said the
storm, accompanied by winds of Sc
to go miles per hour, Is now CEN
tered In the Bahamas, and may
reach the Hampton Roads area to-
morrow or Tuesday.
1t Is still too early to determine
where the storm will strike next
but it is doubtful that it will come
near enough to shore to affect in
land weather. the bureau said. The
center of the storm is some distance
at sea. but winds are affected by it
within a 35o-mile area, the bureau
added.
Reports from the Miami ella J
weather bureau last night said the
storm was centered at pm. ap-
proximately $40 miles almost due
east of Daytona Beach, moving
northward or slightly west of north

The action does not increase, how
ever, the output of any consumer
items, as manufacturers generally
will be held to quotas established
when the items were made from
steel or other materials.
WPB announced some restric-
tions on the use of the light metal
were retained to protect war pro-
duction. The order provided, how
ever, that anyone who wants to
use. aluminium for any purpose not
covered by the order, for who wants
to increase his use for the allowed
amounts, may ask for permission.
Oficials said manufacturers ap-
peals for permission to make more
items than are now being made of
substitutes, or appeals to make new
products of aluminium, will be
granted where it is clearly shown
that the increased program will not
compete with war production for
manpower or materials.
Protection for War Production.
This provision was inserted to
protect war output, and thorough
consideration will be given appeals,
it was said. Offlcials said, however,
that no large-scale resumption of
civilian production is expected un-
der the order and emphasized that
war demands still come first-and
will continue to come first until
Germany and Japan are defeated"
To make certain that the new
order does not interfere with the
output of aluminium for military
goods, WPB inserted a deferred al
lotment" procedure. Under the pro-
vision. WJB may issue deferred al
lotments of the metal for new uses,
which will enable producers to delay
filling of orders for civilian goods
If they would compete with war
orders.
WPB had no accurate estimate of
the current amount of surplus
aluminium, but industry officials told
the Senate Truman Committee re-
Gently they could produce from
SO, 1000 900 to 100000 900 pounds more
of the metal annually without hiring
additional manpower.
Mr.. Nelson's order for start on
reconversion Of industry to civilian
production were opposed generally
by the Army. Navy. War Man
power Commission, the Joint Chiefs
of Staff and some WPB officials on
the grounds that any return to
civilian output at this time would
divert manpower from the war
effort.

tires will not affect the rationing OF
tires for passenger cars. 1t was said
The list Of motorists eligible to pur-
chase new tires was broadened
greatly recently, and production Of
ficials still are confident of making
more than 100000 of the lighter
sizes this year.
Even military demands for heavier
tires are not being met, so great is
the shortage. The Army Air Forces
and other service branches have ex-
pressed great concern over the situ-
alton.
Still Losing Workers.
Ten days ago Rubber Director
Bradley Dewey and 1t Gen. William
S. Knudsen, the Army's production
expert, made special trip to Akron,
Ohio, the tire manufacturing center,
in an effort to find ways to increase
output. This past week, Gen. Knud-
sen visited tire factories in other
localities.
Recruitment of labor for tire fac
tories and other rubber products
manufacturing plants is now one of
the top programs of the War Man
power Commission. Despite the
agency's efforts, however, it was said
employment in tire plants still is
dropping, The productivity of the
individual plant worker likewise is
falling off.
The Governments $4,000 900 pro-
gram to expand facilities for proc
essing tires from synthetic rubber
is now nearly complete. Even the
addition of new plants has failed
to raise production to anywhere near
the desired level.
Omclals were unable to foresee an
end OF the tire shortage, one of the
most serious crises of the war. Only
sharp reduction in military re-
qulrements or success in the cam
paign to recruit 5000 additional
workers for the factories could allev-
late the situation.
Using Some Synthetic.
Heavy tires now are being made
OF about two-thirds natural rubber
and one-third synthetic. It was
said the new tires are giving good
service with proper treatment.
One official said there are a large
number of trucks on the road en-
gagged in uses not considered essen
tial to war economy, and it is these
vehicles that will be denied new
tires If the situation warrants the
drastic action it now appears will
be necessary.
The shortage is so acute already
that an ODT official admitted the
certificates being given out to pur-
chase new tires are merely hunting
licenses" While local rationinp
boards make some effort to supply
most essential needs first, distribu-
ton in many instances has been on
