Keep Tdrdwa,
j. :. Asked

WASHINGTON, July 9 (INS)
Strong support appeared in Con'
gress today for the proposal 10
acquire Tarawa from the British
and establish there a memorial
for Americas Pacific war dead.
Some senators and congressmen
said, however, that the whole
question of an appropriate me-
mortal would have 10 be studied
and that Tarawa's future status
would have to be considered as
part Of an overall Pacific program.
IMMEDIATE ACTION
Chairman May CD of Kentucky
of the House military affairs com.
mittee announced that he would
introduce a resolution calling fof
immediate state department action
TO obtain Tarawa from the British.
Rep. Anderson (R) of CALI
fornia said he had been informed
blythe British Embassy that an
inquiry concerning the possibility
Of Tarawa's transfer TO American
ownership was being transmitted
TO London.

Chairman Bloom Cd Of New
York of the House foreign affairs

the acquisition of Tarawa as a

bravery very appropriate. "
Rep Thomason CD of Texas,
ranking majority member OF the
House military affairs committee,
also approved the idea.

DISAGREE ON CAUSE

The American and British mill
taFy governors here even seemed
to disagree on what the main
problem really was.
Brig w. r. n. Hinde, British
governor, said it was question
OF the Russians supplying food
and fuel for Germans in the
American and British zones.
Col. Frank Howley of Philadel-
phia. the American governor, said
that was not the CruX of the mat
ter at all-that il was a matter
of adopting an overall plan for
running Berlin. He seemed TO
favor a system of integrated rule
OF city agencies such as police,
health. finance and so on.
As an example of the present
confusion, however, Howley told
of how Russian soldiers had torn
down SHAEF posters warning
Germans OF the penalties for dis
obeying Allied laws. Howley went
to see the Soviet deputy COM
mander here, Maj. Gen. Nikolai
Barinov. who then issued orders
that Red army troops were not
10 pull down any more SHAEF'
posters.

OFF Social Register

NEW YORK, July 9 (INS)-
The name of Brig. Gen. Elliott
Roosevelt. son of the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt, was omitted from
the summer Social Register today
so much as a courtesy
line 10 explain why II was de-
leted.
Secretary Of Commerce Wal
lace and former presidential ad-
wiser Harry Hopkins, also were
overlooked in the summer Social
Register.

REDS KEEP CONTROL

But the Russians went on gov
ernIng the entire city, while the
American and British military
government setups had nothing 10
do except organize their new
headduarterS..---
-~ fIoWley said that the food COM
ing into Berlin. although con-
trolled by the Russians, comes
from Berlin's regular food sources
10 per cent from Brandenhurg
province and 30 per cent from
northeastern Germany. Much of
II, he said, was from wehrmaCht
stocks captured by the Red army.
The Anglo-American and Rus
sian concepts of occupation OF
Germany are widely different. and
that is one Of the problems here.
The Russians encourage politics,
but the Americans and British
prohibit It, The Russians also do
not have nonfraternization rules,
such as the western allies have.
Such differences in methods
naturally contribute 10 the COM
pleXity Of all three trying TO gov
ern one city at the same time.

What is true of her textile

To meet these problems. most
particularly that of retaining her
vital export trade, the government
is obliged TO concentrate on
building.
In addition. British industry has
suffered severely during the de-
preston when millions were
thrown out of work and poverty
was widespread in such sections
as Wales and the MidlandS.
II has so h appened d that the
party in power during most of
the last 25 years has been the
Conservative party.
Though many Of Britan's hard
ships were for reasons beyond the
control of the ruling power. never
thelesS the party had to bear the
responsibility as -Mas-in- power,
NEVER IN MAJORITY
On the other hand, the Labor
party, although it has twice been
in power and once was in coall-
ton government. has never had a
majority in the House OF Commons.
therefore, il has been free TO
promise everything TO every one,
which it has.

ARMY DROPS
RELEASE AGE
TO 40 Years

WASHINGTON, May 90 The
Army has fixed at 40 years the age
at which enlisted men may apply
for discharge
The Army only last month had
lowered the discharge age to AZ
years. An estimated 10000 en-
listed men in the Army are in the
40 and Al year age groups.
AT the same time, the War De-
partment announced WAC's 40
years of age or over who have
served the required period on
active duty will be eligible for dis
charge. It is estimated that 5000
enlisted WAC's will be eligibleu nder
this provision.
The new order provided that in
the case of men 40 or Al years
Ct age, commanders will be per-
mitted to retain, for not more than
90 days, any man for whom re-
placement is not available at the
tine he requests discharge.
The War Department said that
when the military situation per-
mits' a further reduction in the
age limit will be made.

CIVILIAN Diet
TO TAKE SLUMP
DURING AUGUST
Meat Hungry Americans
Now Turning to Eggs,
MiIk-Large Quantities

Meat hungry Americans reseating
into their future supplies OF two
prime substitutes.
Unable to get the meat they want,
civilians are turning to eggs and
milk in large quantities.
As a result, a survey disclosed to-
day, the Government is not meeting
with as mucn success as a year ago
in securing a reserve Of butter,
cheese, evaporated milk and eggs
for use next fall and winter when
output normally drops below re-
quirements.
Serious shortages in these foods
may develop.
On an overall basis, present sup
ply prospects indicates that the
quality of the civilian diet will slump
to its lowest point of the war in
August. BY then it probably will be
largely a vegetable diet. For the
meat situation is likely to be even
worse. Like eggs and milk, supplies
of food fats and oils will be some
what smaller. The grocery store will
offer little more than good Victory
garden.
Europe faces darker prospects.
Maj. Gen. Warrsn F.. Draper, chief
CT the Public Health Branch of Su-
preme Allied Headquarters, said;
There isn't enough food in sight to
keep some people of Europe from
going hungry"

Yonabaru, second-largest Oki-
nawa town, was entered by Maj.
Gen. James L. Bradley's Ninety
Sixth Division late Monday and
was the first major town on the
island to fall into American hands
In the darkness of Tuesday
morning, opposed only by sniper
fire, seventh Division elements
sloshed through Yonabaru, cut the
east-west traffic artery between
that town and the capital city Of
Naha, and established strong po-
sitions on the ridges.
Officers expressed confidence the
men could hold the ridges against
enemy counter attacks. The return
of the Seventh to action pitted five
American divisions three Army
Infantry and two Marine-against
the hard-fighting Nipponese.

This thrust cut off some Japa-
nese between Yonabaru and the
heights. 1t extended an enveloping
arm a considerable distance south
of key Shuri.
If the men of the Seventh sue
coed in pushing south along the
north-south ridge line, they will
have positions completely dominat-
ing Okinawa's major roads and
two rail lines running southeast
from Naha.
Once the rear is cleared, the
Seventh would be able to mount
artillery on the ridges and stymie
Japanese supply for the Shuri line
with directly observed fire.
