Army DisoIoses Details of Weapon Which Fires
 Artillery Shells

WASHINGTON, July 13. - The Army has disclosed performance details of it's new kickless cannon which fire artillery shells with no more recoil than a 22 caliber rifle
 The two guns, a o7 and 75 millimeter, were battle tested in Europe and now are being turned against the Japanese with much success the Army said.
 The 57 millimeter rifle, which can be fired from the shoulder or from small tripod, weighs only 45 pounds, yet can toss a regular shell weighing about three pounds for two miles.
 The 75 millimeter rifle, weighing li0 pounds Ca regular field artil- lery piece weighs more than one tom throws a 14-pound shell more than four miles.
 Gen. Courtney Hodges, First Ar my Commander, hit a threefoot square target at 800 yards the first time he fired the 57 millimeter gun, shoulder style, the Army reported

JAP FISHING NOW SHATTERED; BOATS
 BEING DESTROYED

WASHINGTON, July 1j. - The Allied advance has shattered" the Japanese fishing industry which led the world before the war, the Commerce Department said today.
 AS the far-flung fisheries of the Japanese fade" said the De- partment, opportunities for other peoples may mount"
 A press release said. United States and Allied aircraft have des- troyed untold numbers of these fishing vessels in Japanese waters and as the tempo of the Pacific war increases, and operations eX- pand from Okinawa and other cap- tured islands to supplement the constant bombing by our B-29s. fishing will become a more and more hazardous operation for the Japanese"
 The press release was based on an article in the official publication Foreign Commerce Weekly" which does not contain the foregoing sen tence but puts the situation this way:
 During the war years this once great Japanese fishing activity has been partly obliterated, has been restricted and disorganized by many facors-by mobilization of fishermen, shortage of fuel, con- version of fishing craft, and, of course. Allied domination of waters which formerly served as fishing grounds"

ROME NEWSPAPERS ARE NOW ENJOYING FREEDOM OF PRESS

ROME - Freedom of the press came to Rome last year with the Eternal City's liberation and per- haps no place in the world takes this cherished right more literally.
 Journalistic Rome today resembles pamphleteering colonial America and the florid ought to be horsewhip- ped" type of editorializing common in America through the Civil War
 The emphasis is on hot local ploi- tics and crimes of passion.
 For 21 years no one could be mur- dered under Fascism, nor could a mans death be suicide in the public prints. Under Il Duce one either died naturally so far as the news papers were concerned, or one didn't die.

BELOW AVERAGE
 ALASKA SALMON
 PACK INDICATED
Southeast Alaska, Bristol Bay Yields to Date
 Far Behind

WASElNGl LIN, July 10. - EdTly reports on the Alaska salmon pack indicate approximately 328,036 cases for the first six months of the year.
 Coordinator of Fisheries Harold l.. ] Ickes estimated today that the pack by June 30 last, will amount to slightly below the average of the past five years, for the same period.
 The pack to the end of June rep resents only the first scattered sal mon fishing activity of the Terri tory. It comprises 236,l81 cases packed in Central Alaska, 77,116 cases in Western Alaska, and 14,739 cases in Southeast Alaska.
 Earlier predictions of the total sal mon pack in Alaska this year were for about five million cases or somewhat larger than the 1914 pack
 Pack reports for the first week in July, received by the Fish and Wild | life office in Juneau, show South east Alaska still following far below the comparative period last season, with Central Alaska's pack increased and Bristol Bay packing only about half the amount for the similar period last year.
 The final weekly report for Cop per River shows that district main- taining it's lead over last season.

Denounce Tax Bill

THE CI0 and fourteen other
organizations, including the
Farmers Union, denounce legis-
lation to reduce taxes, asserting
that the bill grants "huge wind
falls to the most prosperous cor
porations" but permits "only
meager relief to low and middle
income groups" of individuals.
This statement is interesting,
especially in view of the wide
spread impression that the Con-
gress has taken care of number
of. individual taxpayers by provid-
ing for 1916 cut of at least ten
per cent. To be certain just what
the bill provides would require the
services of a tax expert but when
the furore dies down, those who
may have placed a wager that the
corporations will be taken care of,
will not lose any money.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1945-11-08

The fiery General insists that
unpreparedness means improvisa-
ton and improvisation means ex-
penses in money and blood, that
in the next war, our opponents,
whoever they may be, twill see
to the best of their ability that
the usual arsenal of democracy is
destroyed and asserts that pre-
paredness in the past would have
prevented several wars in which
America engaged.
Explaining himself, General
Patton said, 81 have studied and
practiced war all my life. There
fore, am utterly opposed to it
but am not an ostrich. l do not
want to bury my head in the sand
Of wishful thinking Unless we
are armed and prepared, the next
war will probably destroy us. No
one who has lived in a destroyed
country can view such possibility
with anything but horror"

Savings Enormous

SAVINGS by individuals in the
United States, during the first
six months of 1945, amounted to
$22,500, 100000, according to the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion, which reports that liquid saw
ings account for $4,000, 100000 of
tho total.
Analysing what individuals
saved during the second quarter,
the SEC says that they increased
their holdings of Government Sc
curities by $5,10O,OOO,0O0, added
S2,800,000,000 to their cash and
deposits, $1,5OO,OOO,0OO to their
equity in Government insurance,
81 100000 to their equity in
private insurance and $300OOO,-
900 to their investments in saw
ings and loan associations.
The figures reflect the unusual
prosperity of the first half of the
present year and reveal that the
people of the country have added
considerably to the huge backlog
of spending power which they
amassed earlier.
The existence of such a large
volume of liquid savings, which
means that they can be cashed
and expended, adds to the general
infationary threat which now
hovers over the nation. If turned
loose in precipated demand for
goods, the huge savings would
lead to distressing situation.

Wronged Husband,
IL, Shoots Rival
Killed Man Who Won Wife
Under My Nose

LOS ANGELES. - An outraged IT.
year-old husband told police he shot
and killed Harold Timothy Young,
30-year-old father of three children
who wooed and won his wife away
from him under my very nose"
Leon Benon, II, a warehouseman,
was held on suspicion of murder.
Deputy sheriff said he freely ad-
mitted shooting Young when he
found him making love to my
wife"
Benon and his pretty l6-year-old
wife, Lois Jean. celebrated their
first wedding anniversary three
days ago. Both are from Alpine,
Texas, as is Young.
Officers summoned to the Benon
home by Francis Elgin Smith. 33.
year-old baker, found Young's body
on the living room floor, his head
and body riddled with rifle slugs.
Benon and his wife were arrested
at the home of his mother-in-law.
This fellow has been playing
around with my wife for couple
of months" Deputy Gordon Bow
ers quoted Benon as saying. II f.
nally said, To hell with it and
went for my gum"
The gun was found dismantled
and tucked into bedroom drawer
at the Benon home. Bowers said.
Smith told the most complete
story of the tragic affair. He said he
and Young and the Demons had re-
turned from a ride in Los Angeles
and started talking in the living
room.
Young said suddenly, I'm in
love with Lois. l want her to go
to Texas with me, Smith related,
according to police.
Lois said she'd like to. Benon
turned to her and said, DO you love
him?' She said, I think l do. l
don't know
THAT got Benon. He jumped up.
grabbed his gun and blazed away"
