NullJdld LdDJI NEWS.
AS you have perhaps noted by this
time, I have been transferred from the
Committee on Foreign Affairs to the fol
lowing committees on which my late col
league, the Honorable James F. O'Connor,
served: Flood Control, Indian Affairs,
Irrigation and Reclamation, and Public
Lands. My reason for making this move

Washington should continue to look after
specific interests in Montana, which
membership on these committees allows.
I left the Foreign Affairs Committee
with a great deal of regret, but I feel
that I can still be of value in that field
and will continue to direct my chief
efforts to helping win the war as soon
as possible. At the same time I can

BRITISH BUTTER BATTER

With increasing shortages of butter

or at least interesting here.
The Britishers use a quarter pound Of

In lucky America we can use a fresh

FLAME RECEPTION

LONDON, June 4 (INS) - A
German invasion of England in
1910 and 194l would have received
the hottest reception in history
an inferno of flames on the sea.
on the beaches and the hills
beyond.
From Scotland down 10 her
southeastern coast, England was
prepared 10 set off, by the mere
pressing of buttons, a huge ring
of fire 10 consume Nazi amphib-
ious forces, tanks and paratroop-
erS.
The Germans would have found
flames sweeping the beaches. cX-
plosions caving in the passes
through cliffs. barrels Of fire
hurled over hedges and garden
walls by remote control, tons
upon tons of burning oil pouring
down from strategic heights.
Detroit evening times., 1945-06-05
AMAZING STORY

The amazing story was un-
folded today by Godfrey Lloyd
new minister of information. who
as minister in charge of petroleum
warfare. was largely responsible
for developing the fire defense
while German forces were massed
across the channel.
The first of the fire weapons
were assembled within 10 days.
The defile traps, which eventually
produced a wall of flames 300
yards long, could be turned on and
off at will and used repeatedly.
The "fouGasse, p" a system of oil
barrels which could throw flames
in all directions. was operated
with units of four casks each.
They were touched off with a
button at an observation point
100 yards away.
To create flames on the waters
of the beaches, oil pipes ran out
from tanks on shore and could
be exploded by the automatic re-
lease Of a calcium chemical which
ignited on touching water.
