COVENTRY, June rs - R
Prime Minister Churchill, tir-
ed-looking but still sharp
tongued, continued his 1000
mile electioneering tour through
the English countryside today
after taking cheers and boos
with equal unconcern in the first
day of his intensive campaign
on behalf of the Conservative
Party.
Led by a police escort and
bowling and smiling from an
open touring car, Churchill
praised the United States, in
sisted upon friendly relations
with Russia and flung taunts at
his political enemies in numer-
Gus brief speeches yesterday.
"You haven't much chance
against me with my micro
phone" he told Laborites at
Coventry who sought to drown
him out with their party song,
"Red Flag" Then, as they tried
to tear down the simplifying sys
tenn, Churchill joked:
"You look so angry. ! never
get angry at politics.
Police estimated that 10000
persons were crowded into the
square of the bomb-damaged in
dustrial town. Many stood in the
hot sun for as long as three
hours waiting as Britains war
leader was held up by throngs
along the road.

MANILA. p. |. - This war
blackened Pearl of the Pacific,
capital of the Philippines, is a
city Of strange contrasts.
Army officers and men dance
with chic Filipino girls in near
sWank night clubs, while hum

from soldiers mess kits amid
desolation as great as this war
has produced.
North Of the Pasig river,
there's teeming life, civilian and

stream that bisects this once
beautiful city, there's wanton de-
struction beyond description.
Just as sharp as the line be-

Highway 3 leading into Manila

sort for nine pesos; half a
chicken for the same a lount;
an egg sandwich costs $3.50 in
Filipino currency. Tested whis-
key is available on limited
rationed basis at 10 pesos. A
thimblefull "jigger' costs two
pesos.
In the market section a tiny
watermelon no larger than a
canteloupe at home costs S2.50
in U. S. money. Papayas run
from 81 to So so. Single Amer

nickel each, with brisk trade
going. CT ration of soap, candy

An officer or an enlisted man
can take his girl - American
or Filipino - to sWank Giro

music, for a cover charge of five
dollars. Mixed drinks with ice
and good food is available.

Clear Bumps From
ReCOnVerSIOn Path

The road TO reconyersion can be
as bunny as a war path.
What can you do to help smooth
Il?
Here's the answer. given today
by government officials:
First. keep doing some OF he
things you have been doing.
Keep on buying war bonds. There
still is more money than goods.
War bonds not only are a good
investment, but every S1S.75 taken
out OF circulation is an Sls.75 sock
at initiation.
Initiation (Which means that ey-
erything you buy costs more than
it's WORTHY is the villain that often
precedes a depression. Keep buy
ing.
Keep on saving waste paper, fats
and oils. and especially tin cans.
The War Production Board will
quit sponsoring paper collection
drives about Sept. 80. Possibly the
paper industry will take over then.
It's too early TO say how much
waste paper will be needed. Much
OF It has been used TO make paste
board shipping boxes sor the armed
services.
The need for these. OF course, is
diminishing. In the meantime. keep
saving,
Fats and oils were needed to
make glycerine, main ingredient for
INT. Japans surrender knocked
out the INT business. but 1t didn't
affect a fats-and-oils shortage that
is world wide. Keep saving.
Tin is especially short The sup.
ply is in the Far East. No one
knows how much the Japanese
damaged the tin mines. No one
knows how much-or how soon
the L. S. can start buying tin
from the Dutch.
DEFINING factories which salv-
age the tin from your tin cans,
aren't operating at capacity. II you
haven't been flattening yours, start
at once. And keep saving.
During the war you were urged
to 20 into special lines OF work,
remember? These were bot:leneck
industries. industries which could
toss a monkey wrench into the en-
tire war machine II they failed to
produce.
But reconyersion has bottle
necks, too.
Coal Is No. 1. withou. coal, fac.
