KANSAS CITY, July 20.-P)-
Kansas City virtually was without
milk tonight as all but one of the
city's major diaries were idle be-
cause of a dispute between the
milk drivers union and milk pro-
ducers.
Last deliveries of milk were re-
ceived by professors Wednesday
and today's retail sales exhausted
the reserve supply.
The Farmers Pure Milk Produ-
GERS Association, which supplies
most of the diaries, ordered de-
liveries halted after plant represen-
tatives were notified by R. o. Jack
son, representative of the Milk
Drivers and Dairy Employees I'm
ion (AFL) that union men would
unload no more milk trucked II
by non-union haulers.
Many of the producers have been
dumping their milk on the ground,
rather than accede to the unions
demand.
Producers and union represen
tatives were unable to agree on
proposal that deliveries continue
while negotiations for settlemen
of the dispute were in progress.

Congress today completed action
on two major international none
tary bills - the Breton Woods
agreements and the five-fold in
crease in lending resources of the
Export-Import bank-thus clearing
the way for Senate consideration
of the World Security Charter.
The House, which begins sum-
mer recess tomorrow concurred in
three minor Senate amendments TO
the Breton Woods agreement,
ment, which the Senate approved
Friday, 81 to 16. The Senate then
approved the House measure which
increases the capital stock of the
Export Import Bank to $1,000, 000,-

lending power from its present
$70o, 1000, 900 to $500, 900, 900, mostly
to be used for foreign loans
Both measures now await Presl-

The Navy disclosed today it is

BY December the plan is est
mated to release 11,600 commits

$4,000 enlisted men.
The Navy emphasized that the
formula under study will be ir
no way a rehabilitation measure
since the Nays strength will no
be cut below the present autho
rized maximum of 1883, 900 which
was reached June 80.
Because it is not a demobili.
cation measure, the Navy explain.
ed, the formula gives no weight
to such facts as dependency and
combat service which might be
a part of a rehabilitation plan
1t called the proposal ''comput.
ed service age formula
The Navy said the purpose Of
the new policy will be to increase
the services overall efficiency by
releasing older men and men not
fully qualified for general duty,
thereby permitting the Navy
through voluntary enlistments and
Selective Service to increase the
number of younger men qualified
to meet future needs.
Under the formula, the Navy
would release upon individual ap'
plication or upon resignation, Ger
tain enlisted personnel and reserve
officers who meet requirements
Service age of officers and en-
listed men would be computed by
allowing one point for each foul
months of active duty in the Navy
since September l, 1889.
The minimum computed service
age required, for release, resigna

Changsha, key city on the vital
Canton-Hankow railway.
The Chinese advance along the
Southeast coast has forced the
japanese high command to rush
reinforcements from Indo-China,
a Chinese army spokesman said.
Meanwhile, the steel arc about
Kweilin, most important former
U. S. air base city in Southeast
China, was frightened by half
dozen Chinese columns. A small
force was battling inside the city.
One column, which cut a wide
arc eastward from Liuchow, seiz-
ed the important highway city
of Laipo and then swerved North

from Laipo, IS miles East of Liu-

overrun Yangso. As miles away.
Three hundred miles to the East,

Kanhsien, another U. S. air base
city, were caught near Wanan

U. S. MUST SHARE
COAL, lCKES SAYS

WASHINGTON, July 2o.-WD-
Fuel Administrator Harold L.
Ickes warned today that the Unit
ed States must share its depleted
coal supplies to prevent serious
disorders in Europe.
He said this country must ship
100000 tons to the continent be-
tween now and Jan. l, beginning
Immediately. That is about one
per cent of U. S. annual pro-
duction.
He asserted that it will be i'm
possible to supply Europe unless
the Army grants his requests to
release at least 10000 miners. He
said he expects the Army to do
so. Acting Secretary of War Ro-
bert P. Patterson said Thursday.
however, that it is impossible to
discharge men solely on occupa.
t;onal grounds to fill civilian needs.
The War Production Board
meanwhile put coal mining ma
chinery on the production urgency
list, giving manufacturers high
manpower priorities.
Ickes warned earlier that the
worst fuel shortage of the war is
threatened for the coming winter.
He said domestic coal users must
get along on 20 per cent less and
fuel oil users face a Is per cent
cut.
In Europe, he said, the race
is "between coal and anarchy"
Europe must have coal without
loss of time if serious political
and social upheavals are to be
prevented. l don't think it is going
too far to say that coal famine
of such severity as to destroy all
semblance of law and order is

HIGHWAY HEARING
SET FOR JULY Is
Especial to the Starr

RALEIGH, July 20.-Hearings on
the Federal inter-regional super
highway plan in North Carolina will
be held at 2:30 pm. Wednesday
in the offices of the State High
way Commission, it was announced
yesterday by W. H. Rogers, as
sistant to Sandy Graham, chairman
of the State Highway Commits
sion.
Mr.. Rogers disclosed that Raleigh
will be represented in an effort to
show why that city should be in
cluded in the inter-region plan.
Also to be represented are
Greensboro, Durham, Charlotte and
other cities already included in the
proposed plan, to show cause Why
they should be retained.
1t was pointed out that the near
est to the east coast that the super
highway plan will extend on the
proposed system in North Carolina
is on U. S. No. 301, which extends
all the way through the State.
Another proposed route on the
super highway plan enters North
Carolina from Virginia on U. s.
No. l to Henderson, then to Ok
ford, Durham, Greensboro and
thence to South Carolina.
Yet, another route is proposed
from Tennessee to Asheville, Char
lotte and Greensboro.
1t was explained that the FEEDER
al inter-regional highway system
will extend throughout the United
States, amassing a total of ap-
proximately 10000 miles. The pro-
posed plan will not interfere with
any other proposed State or FEEDER
al highway plans, it was stressed
Mr.. Rogers explained that it
would be to the advantage of North
Carolina not to have any more
miles than absolutely necessary in
cluded in the inter-regional system,
because of the excessive cost OF
construction as required by the
Federal government.

Flood Water

Farm Losses
VERMONT TOWNS HIT
Communications Cut Off,
Cattle Washed Away
By Rains

RUTLAND, VT, July 2O.-(R-
Flood waters from a myriad of
streams and rivers swept through
Western and Central Rutland coun-
ty communities today, washing out
highways, carrying away bridges
and causing damage estimated I'M
officially at hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
A steady six hour rain sent the
streams over their banks.
Communications were cut off in
many sections and first intimation
of the extent of the damage came
tonight as the waters began reced-
ing.
Poultney, where damage was es-
timated unofficially at 100000,
was hardest hit of the communities,
with water foot deep tumbling
down the main street.
West Rutland's water supply was
hard hit as Is foot section of the
reservoir dam washed away and
all residents were advised to boil
their drinking water.
Many hill towns were isolated
and without power.
The heavy rain, which left a
three inch fall in Rutland, was the
third bad storm in the area within
80 days.
Cattle were swept from the pas
lures of many hill farms and towns.
folk in Clarendon watched pig
float down the Cold river, but no.
body dared wade after it.
Truck gardens in the Middle
town area were destroyed and roads
were impossible in many sections

While the shortage of shorts

Wilmington gentlemen have yet
to face the somewhat en-
barassing situation of no
shorts at all or wearing Ia
dies panties.
That's the situation in De-
troit, where the report leaked
out that that city's huskies
were turning sissies, and lean
ed to the feminine side of the
under side, and we're getting
their wives to buy ladies' pan
ties for them to wear.
AT any rate, some brave
male citizens of Wilmington
were heard to have become
especially vehement in their
denial that "their panties
weren't pink" and they Offer
ed to prove it.
However, from the results
of a survey conducted in the
