Senate Committee
Boosts Funds
For Use Of Navy

WASHINGTON, May Is. CUP)-
The senate appropriations commit
ltee has approved a $23,603, IT'S 1853
navy department appropriation bill
for fiscal 1896
The senate committee increased
the appropriation by S203, ,273, ,735
over the $23, 400, ,502,133 amount ,ap-
proved by the house.
Among the changes were:
l. An increase of $3,000,000 in
the $10cO,000 use-approved allot-
ment for operation of the Lake Sem
eca, NJ Y, training station.
2. $180,O00,OO0 for the bureau of
ordnance. -rs.
8. $40 100000 more for transport
tation and recruiting.
Senators disclosed that Navy Sec
retary James v. Forrestal had tes-
titled during recent hearings on the
appropriations bill that Japan has
an air force now of about 1000
effective planes"
we have destroyed as many as
1906 japanese planes in single
month";" he said, draining away
the strength of the japanese air
foree-not only their planes but
their pilots-and driving the Japan
csc into the desperate tactics of sui
eide attacks"
Forrestal added that Japan'S sur
face fleet has been reduced to a
medium sized task force" but that
the enemy still has a large and
effective submarine fleet"
He said protection of Pacific con-
voys will remain a major task until
the last japanese submarine is
sunk

POSTWAR PLANNING
FOR FL CENTRO

Interest attaches to the announced
preliminary postwar plans for Ell Cen
tro. That officials in drafting the pro-
gram considered a number of major i'm
provements and new construction cover
ing wide range of operation is COM
mendable. That sewer construction is
given top place also meets with general
approval.
In considering any post war plan
there is the point that much of the con-
struction and improvement had been in
cluded in long-range program adopted
before war restrictions ended any work
except that created by emergencies. This
increases the problem since everything
has piled up. After all it isn't plan to
provide jobs when the war ends-it is a
listing of projects actually needed, not "a
few of which undoubtedly would have
been completed during the waiting
period.
For instance, new outfall and lateral
sewer system, fully adequate to care for
the needs of the city at its current popu-
lation, but for a much-increased natural
population has been uppermost in all
civic planning for number of years 1t
is from the point of need that this project
is approached. This holds true of pro-
posed expansion and improvement of the
water system, and to a great measure,
street improvements.
City officials in grasping the entire
situation are reflecting the knowledge Of
the citizens of the necessity for these
improvements and now that the program
has been put in concrete form, there will
be, active and full cooperation in facing
the need for immediate moves to start
the plans and for their eventual compile
ton.
Financing the entire program is a
phase of the whole set-up that directly
is tied in with the postwar planning and
officials have displayed wisdom in being
alert to the necessity for presenting a
practical and workable program for con-
sideration of those who eventually will
allocate funds for the postwar programs
in the state and for all municipalities

SIX IMPORTANT RULES

Vacuum cleans and washing machines may not be weapons of war, but they can help in the war job. A recent WIPE release reminds us that by caring for household equipment, they can ease the strain on factories making vital war mechanical equipment.
 Caring for home machines, par ticularly those with movable parts is an important job for the home front. Everybody knows these machines are almost impossible to replace, now the WIPE tells us how to keep them in good working order
 Observe these six rules" says the WIPE:
 1. Keep your machines and motors working.
 3. Protect them from weather and rust.
 3. Repair and care for home ap- pliances.
