IS Families Get
Out Of Braw|ey
Migratory Camp

BRAWLEY, Cal, Aug. |. tUP) -
Fifty-three families packed up their
worldly goods Tuesday and under
the scorching Imperial valley sun,
moved out of their homes at the
war food administration camp when
water supplies were shut off by
the city of BraWley.
The city remained steadfaSt in its
promise to shut off the water for
non- payment of a $596507 delin-
quent water bill, despite reports that
federal action on the matter was
Forthcoming.
AS for the residents of the camp,
all agricultural workers and their
families, they didn't know where
they we're going to move to-they
just moved out.
Glen TrnIlble, camp director, said
he'd received telegram from an
unnamed Washington agency stat
ing action on claim nearing COM
pletion, settlement earliest practic-
able date 1t was signed Warren, y
he said.
Mayor Elmer Sears Snorted in a
gentlemanly manner and wondered
what a practicable date" meant.
This bill dates back to July. l942
and that's a long time to COM
plete action he said.
We've been given the run-around
on this matter by all sorts of fed
eral agencies and we've been stalled
for 13 months. This wire was prob
ably from just another office-holder
who had no authority"
The delinquent bill was made
against the federal security admin
istration, which operated the camp
until ,ne VIA took over in July
l943. The WFA denied liability
and was notified service would be
cut off on last July /,

BY WALTER CRONKITE

LONDON, Aug. |. CUP)-Germany
recently released another of its
"vaunted" secret weapons, a Mes
serschmitt 1853 rocket propelled
fighter plane, in a desperate effort
to halt American bombers, it was
revealed today.
Preliminary reports indicate the
MEL 63's were defeated in their first
engagement with American Light

force headquarters withheld judg-
ment on it's potentialities.
The new plane was secret" only
in the date when it would first ap-
pear. Most of its details have been
known by Allied headquarters fol
some time and what was not known
could be surmised from Allied ex-
perimentS with similar craft.
First accounts OF the new rocket
plane indicate it merely is ar
adaptation of rockets as booster

In 90 of these categories, Som

Allied battle successes and the

Death Summons
President
OF Philippines

SARANAC LAKE, N. Y, Aug. /.
(UP)-Manuel Luis Quezon, IS, first
president of the Philippine common
wealth, died at 1905 a. m. Tuesday
as his associates were planning a
celebration for his birthday two
weeks hence.
III for the past several years from
tuberculosis and heart disease, the
frail little chief executive Of the
Philippines nevertheless had rallied
sufficiently from a recent relapse
at this spa to encourage his friends
and associates to plan a party for
his Goth birthday on August 49,
DEATH UNEXPECTED
General Valdez, Quezon's personal
physician, said Quezon's death at
this time was unexpected, since he
had been improving very well,
especially during the last two
weeks"
Valdez quoted Quezon as saying
that Tuesday morning that Il never
felt so we'll in my life" and
said that the President was cheered
by recent news of Allied victories in
the Pacific theater.
He said to his family several
times recently that it would not
be long before they were all back
in the islands," Valdez said.
Quezon complained of pains at
9:35 a. M, and within a few minutes
had lapsed into coma. The Que
zon family, who had been with him
at his Saranac Lake cabin, was sum-
moned and all were present when
he died.

He said peak production for the
army service forces was reached
in November, 1943, amounting to
$2,122 100000 Production in June
fell to 81 ,852 100000. If requirements
are to be met, Somervell said, pro-
duction amounting to $2,308, COO 900
must be reached in October.
Somervell laid the shortages
mainly to problems of manpower.
In some particular categories short
ages of facilities were also respon-
sible.
Even as Somervell met reporters,
spokesmen for the army, navy, war
manpower commission and war
production board canvassed the
problem of materiel and manpower
shortages with War Mobilization
Director James F. Byrnes.
