... THE WAR
President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill, in a
joint statement on the results
of their Washington conference,
said the discussions covered "all
of the major problems of the
war . . . We have conducted
our conferences with. the full
knowledge of the power and
resourcefulness of our enemies
. While exact plans, for ob-
vious reasons, cannot be dis-
closed, it can be said that the
coming operations ... will divert
Gerpfian strength from the at-
tack on Russia."
^'Transportation of the Fight-
ing Forces, together with the
I transportation of munitions of
war and supplies, still consti-
tutes the major problem of
the United Nations," the state-
ment said. "While submarine
warfare on the part of the
Axis continues to take heavy
toll of cargo ships . . . pro-
duction of new tonnage is
greatly increasing month by
month (and) it is hoped that
as a result of steps planned
at this conference the respec-
tive Navies will further reduce
the toll of merchant shipping."
War Production.
The President reported that
American plants in May produc-
ed 4,000 airplanes, more than
1,500 tanks, about.2,000 artilleTy
and anti-tank guns (exclusive
of anti-aircraft), more than
50,000 machine guns, and 50,000
sub-machine guns "We are
well on our way toward achiev-
ing the rate of production
which will bring us to our
goals," the President said. "This
is no time, however, for the
American people to get over-
confident," he said, "because
k there are plenty of serious pro-
iuction problems ahead, par-
ticularly those caused by raw
materials shortages."

son called on Americans to

year by working for their free-

dare not have a July Fourth
Holiday in war production."
Mr. Nelson said the U. S. War
Production Program will call
for $220 billion worth of war
goods, of which $140 billion
must be bought at the average
rate of $6 billion a month dur-
ing this year and next, com-
pared with the current rate of
$3.8 billion a month.
The FBI arrested eight spe-
cially trained Nazi saboteurs
landed by German submarines
at Long Island, New York, and
at Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
A number of "contact men" for
the saboteurs were also ar-
rested.
Rationing.
The OPA announced that
plans for permanent gasoline
rationing for the East, effect-
ive July 22, provide all passen-
ger car owners are entitled to
A books based on 2,880 miles
of driving a year and contain-
ing six pages of eight coupons
each—each coupon worth four
gallons Applications for sup-
plemental rations may be filed
when motorists register for A
books on July 9, 10 and 11. In
order to qualify for supplement-
al B or C books, A motorists
must prove occupational driv-
ing is in excess of 1,800 miles
a year and that he has formed
a Car-Sharing Club. S-l and
S-2 books for trucks, taxis,
ambulances and Government
vehicles will contain 96 and
384 coupons, respectively, each
coupon good for five gallons.
Filling stations may give
preference to defense workers,
trucks and ambulances, after
posting notices to that effect,
if their supplies are insuffi-
cient to meet all demands, OPA
ruled. The Office suspended
deliveries to 64 filling stations
in New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, bringing to 78
the total suspensions for alleg-
ed violations of Rationing Reg-
ulations. The OCD asked 3.000
Defense Councils in the East
to establish machinery for
bringing automobile owners to-
gether in Car-Sharing Clubs.
Tire and tube quotas for July
were increased over June to
take care of greater wear dur-
ing the hot summer months.
Army and Selective Service
The House passed and sent
to the Senate the $42 billion
Army Supply Bill for the fiscal
year beginning July 1—the larg-
est single appropriation in U.
S. history. Services of Supply
Commander Somervell said the
Army will reach 4,500,000 men
by the middle of 1943. The
Army food bill of 1943 will be

Air Forces Enlisted Reserve as
glider pilots, airline co-pilots,
service pilots, and pilot in- i
structors. Men between 18 •

Department said the Air Fer- j
rying and the Air Transport '
operation of the Army will be
coordinated into a new Air
Transport Command, effective
July 1.
Selective Service Headquart-
ers said Local Boards should
segregate registrants into four
categoiies and call them to
service in the following order:
1. Those without financial de-
pendents; 2. Those with finan-
cial dependents other than
wives or children; 3. Registrants
who married prior to Decem-
ber 8, 1941, and who are main-
taining bona fide family rela-
tionships; and 4. Registrants
who have wives and children, or
children only with whom they
maintain bona fide family re-
lations. SS Headquarters said
Local Boards will decide on dis-
position of men who were in
process of being inducted at the
time the categories were set
up.
Navy Expansion.
The Senate passed and sent
to the House a Bill authorizing
the Navy to increase the size
of the U S. Fleet by 1,900,000
tons at an estimated cost of
$8,500 million. The program
will give the Navy a total of
5,650,000 tons of combat ships,
far in excess of any other Navy
in the world. The President
signed legislation authorizing
a 25 per cent increase in pay
for Naval Officers assigned to
submarine duty and providing
a $5 an hour bonus for Navy
divers engaged in hazardous
undertakings.
The War Front.
A European theatre of op-
erations for U. S. Forces was
established with Maj. Gen. D.
D. Eisenhower, formerly As-
sistant Chief of Staff in charge
of the Operations Division, as
Commanding General. Head-
quarters will be in London Bri.g
Gen. Hugh Casey of the Army
Engineer Corps reported the
Allied Works Council and the
U. S. Army Engineers in Aus-
tralia have built 100 military
airdromes, built or improved
thousands of miles of strategic
Toads, and are working on 12,-
000 separate projects in Aus-
tralia. U. S. Airmen damaged
a Japanese cruiser and sank
a transport in Kiska Harbor
in the Aleutians. The sinking
of 17 more Allied merchant ves-
sels by enemy submarines was
announced.

Makes Statement
TO THE VOTERS OF WOOD
COUNTY:
As all our efforts will neces-
sarily be directed toward win-
ning the war that has been
forced upon us, there will like-
ly be less attention given to
local politics this year than
usual. However, the functions
of government must continue
to be carried on in spite of our
tasks of bringing the war to
a successful conclusion. I am
asking the voters of Wood
County to elect me to the office
of Sheriff As I am above the
age prescribed for service in
our military forces, perhaps I
can be of .is much service to
my country in this capacity as
in any other which I might
attempt to fill.
I shall attempt to see as many
voters as possible before the
primary election; but if fur-
ther governmental restrictions
on transportation prevents my
going to all parts of the coun-
ty and contacting each voter
personally, please consider that
I am earnestly soliciting your

I am elected, I shall reward
you by rendering you the fair-
est and most efficient service
as Sheriff of which I am cap-
able. My policy shall be, with
special privileges to NONE and
a square deal to ALL.
Respectfully,
LAWRENCE BUTLER.
