$1,000 Jap Planes
Bagged in 81 Years,
Arfemus Gates Says

The Japanese air force soon will
he shot out of the skies and no
longer will be an effective weapon,
Undersecretary of the Navy Artemus
L. Gates said in report to Secre-
tary Forrestal made public last
night. He revealed that 1900 Jap
planes had been destroyed since
Pearl Harbor.
Mr.. Gates, who has just relin-
pushed the post of Assistant Sec
rotary for Air for that of second
in command in the Navy Depart
ment, also declared that American
naval planes now dominate the
waters approaching Japan.
Mr.. Gates said more than $4,000
aircraft, or nearly half of all air.
craft built since Pearl Harbor,
were deployed to the feet last year.
Accelerated delivery is continuing
this year, with new models either
in production or under way.
Hundred Carriers.
The Nays carriers, now totaling
about 100, Mr.. Gates said, represent
tonnage of approximately 1885,
600, the largest single portion of
total combat tonnage. Personnel
now assigned to naval aviation, in
GLIDING Marines, total about 100000,
of which more than a half are on
carriers, in air groups, squadrons
and feet service units.
Although we cannot yet see with
clarity the pattern of the world
following the war" he said, lit is
nevertheless clear from our past ex-
perience that the United States will
need an effective mobile force with
powerful air weapons in order to
protect this country and the other
Americas and in order to further
the execution of such punitive &C
ton as the United Nations may
order. In the postwar period, too,
naval aviation will be prepared to
do its part"
Jap Losses Much Larger.
Drawing up balance sheet on
recent Japanese losses, Mr.. Gates
said:
Preliminary figures for the first
quarter of this year indicate that
approximately 1890 Japanese air.
craft were destroyed by feet planes
against combat losses of about 300,
a combat ratio of over nine to one"
During the Okinawa campaign, he
said, up to and into June" more
than 3,7o0 enemy planes we're de-
stroyed by Navy and Marine units,
compared with combat losses of more
than $50, combat ratio of about
six to one,
Mr.. Gates emphasized that his re-
port dealt only with the subject of
naval aviation and that any omiS-
Sions should not be construed "as
reflection upon the accomplish
ments of the Army or its Air Force"
Furthermore, he said. naval avia-
ton is not and should not be an
autonomous or separate fighting
Organization, but, with its compo-
nent Marine aviation, was an in
tegral part of the Navy and oper-
ated in conjunction with the sur
face and subsurface forces
I'VE can safely say" Mr.. Gates
said, that the toughest fighting lies
ahead. The first job of naval avia-
ton, and of our Army Air Forces,
is the elimination of the japanese
air force as an effective weapon.
This, believe, will be accomplished
shortly"

Coffee Rationinq
Held Unlikely

WASHINGTON, Feb. /. (UP)--
Government food officials, alarmed
at an increase in scare" buying oa
coffee, declared emphatically Thurs
Gay that coffee rationing Is no,
in sight"
The Office OF Price Administra-
ton said buying IN excess Of nor
NAL needs had increased during the
past week due to rumors that cof-
fee would be returned to the ration
list. 1t assured the public that no
preparations for rationing are be-
ing made.
The War Food Administration
noted that there was nearly half
again as much coffee available as
there was when rationing was dis
continued in July, l943, making a
total of some 100000 bags either on
hand or enroute from Central and
South America.

Senators Would
Expand CCC

WASHINGTON, Feb. l. CUP)-
The senate banking committee has
approved bill to expand the Com
mcdity Credit corporations borrow
ing power by 81 100000 900 and limit
Gees annual food and crop SUBJ
sides to SEAS, 100000.
The bill contained two compro-
mise amendments worked out by
Senator Robert A. Taft, (RD, Ohio,
in conferences with CCC officials.
One sliced $500,000,000 from the
$2,000,0G0,000 increase in borrowing
power which the agency originally
sought.
The second compromise was
Taft's subsidy freezing" amend
ment, which authorizes CCC to ex-
pend, during the last six months of
1945, S250,000,000 in its dairy prod
uct payment program; $50, 100000 in
its non-crop program, including
feed wheat; and S225, 100000 for

Flax Growers Get
Call TO Boost
Seasons S Yields

Increase flax yields and earn
the SIS per acre incentive payments" !"
was the advice given flax growers
of Imperial Valley Thursday by
Argyle McLachlan, manager of the
Southwest Flaxseed Association.
The incentive payments were Of
fered flax growers as part of the
program to increase production this
year to meet shortages in oils, such
as linseed oil.
Since the planting season is over
in Imperial Valley before the lin
centive payment" plan was announc-
ed January 16, 1915" McLachlan
said Thursday, "any increase in
acreage must come only in the mid
west where planting starts in May.
1t already has been announced,
however, that planted acreage in
Imperial Valley will be set as the
farm goal, making every flax plant
er eligible for the SIS per acre"
Officials in Washington said that
growers at the close of the program
year will make application for the
flax payment together with any
practice payments earned on the
farm.
Cur part in the national drive
for oils must be to increase our
Yields" McLachlan explained.
I'm 1914 virgil Coriman made test
applications of sodium nitrate as a
top dressing to flax just before
plants started blooming. The flax
fertilized in this way yielded six
and one-fourth bushels per acre
more than unfertilized flax on ad-
joining lands. Application was at the
rate of about $50 pounds per acre.
The increase in yield paid about SIS
more than the cost of fertilizer and
work of applying it. Nitrogen from
sodium nitrate is quickly available.
If other nitrogen fertilizers are used
such as shell ammonia, ammonium
nitrate or sulphate of ammonia it is
possible that they should be appli-
ed when the first flower buds ap-
pear-before the fruiting top of the
plant is far advanced. We are ad-
vised that these three types of
nitrogen fertilizer are not quite as
quick acting as sodium nitrate"

Taft Sees Peril
In Schools Bill

WASHINGTON, Feb. l. (UP)-
Senator Robe. A. Taft, (R), Ohio,
said he believes the proposed federal
education aid bill may set cen
gressional precedent" of federal
control over state education poll
cies.
Taft voiced his warning at SEN
ate education committee hearing on
the bill, which would establish
$500, 100000 in annual federal edu-
cation grants tc states-$2OO,00 900
a year for financial aid during the
war emergency and $10O,000,0OO as
permanent annual subsidy to
equaliZe educational opportunity.
Taft took issue cnly with the
section proposing grants to be paid
for salaries to teachers and ether
school employees to keep schools
open during the emergency.
Imperial Valley press., 1945-02-01

WASHINGTON, Feb /. CUP)-In
move to divert still more meat to
the armed forces, the war food ad-
ministration has placed limitations
on the amount of government sub
sides that small slaughterers may
collect.
VIA also announced Increases
are imminent in the amounts of
pork and beef that larger slaugh-
terers must reserve fer military pur-
chase.
The two steps undoubtedly will
further reduce dwindling civilian
supplies, a VIA spokesman said
The order will prohibit non-fed-
orally inspected slaughterers (usu-
ally small ones) from receiving a
subsidy on a greater weight of cat
tie and calves than they collected
payments for in 1914. On hogs, they
may collect subsidies only up to 70
per cent of last years quota
The subsidy limitations will re-
strict the number of animals that
these professors can afford to buy
and are expected to divert larger
proportion of meat animals to fed
orally inspected plants which sup
ply the army's entire requirements.
Under the present regulations,
more than half of all beef slaugh-
tered in the federally inspected
plants and almost half of their pork
is set aside for military purchase.
With the large government pro-
curement affecting plants only un-
der federal inspection, many non-
federally inspected plants (slaught-
ering SO head week or less) have
sprung up, diverting meat from the
army supply source.
This tendency, particularly evi-
dent since October, 1914, has re-
suited in an unequal distribution of
civilian meat supplies, VIA said.

LAW WOULD HALT
SOUPED-UP CARS

A law to prohibit driving "souped

Beal said number of deaths have
resulted from youths driving hot
rods" and added that the bill has
the support of the motor vehicle
department.
