ed that "anyone who wants to
use aluminium for any other pur-
pose not covered by the order,
or who wants to increase his use
over the allowed limits, may ask
for permission"
The restrictions continued IN
force were intended chiefly to pre-
vent the diversion of labor from
war production to the manufac-
ture of peacetime goods. WPB
said:
mo immediate large-scale re-
sumption of civilian production IS
expected. War demands still come
first-and will continue to come
first until Germany and Japan are
defeated
The action makes possible the
use of aluminium for pots and
pans, but production still is held
to the quotas established for those
articles when made from steel.
The metal may also be used in
the manufacture of cans for the
packing of fruits, vegetables and
other products.

There was a possibility the fifth
army might postpone occupation

cleared from high ground north
east of Pisa, from which German
guns could lob shells into Livorno
and make the use of it's docks diff

This strategic high ground, as

CANNOT ENFORCE RULES

WASHINGTON, July Is R -
The Japanese hint that more cap.
tured American airmen have been
OF are to be executed emphasizes
that the rules of war cannot be
enforced.
The so called rules of warfare
consist of written and unwritten
codes evolving from treaties. con-
ventions and international discus
sions and are supposed to be bind
ing upon all "civilized'' nations.
The executions of airmen, dis
tinctly members of armed forces,
are banned under a section of the
Geneva convention of 1929 "a part
of the rules of war; which pro-
hibits measures Of reprisals"
against prisoners of war. But. as
in all other instances of violations,
there is no way for the United
States to compel uncivilized
nese to observe this prohibition.
Likewise, this country was unable
to do anything about Japan's ut
ter disregard of international law
in the treatment of prisoners cap
tured in the Philippines, as d.
closed by a war department re-
port earlier this year.
