London, Nov. 29. (OP)—
German bombers pounded Liv-

Northwestern England with j
hundreds of high explosives,
for;
and incendiary bombs

early Friday.
Tentative reports Friday in-
dicated none of the attack ap-
proached the full blitakrieg
tempo such as that which de-
vastated Coventry to start the
new Nazi scheme of concen-
trating on a single town.
Few had been killed or
wounded in Liverpool, the
British said, as the raiders still
roared overhead in defiance of
fiercely blazing anti-aircraft
batteries and searchlights
combing the skies,
r Many homes were damaged
and a big bomb crashed near
a public shelter in a recreation
ground, causing some casual-
ties. Others were injured by
flying debris.
Raiders rained hundreds of
incendiaries on another north-
western town, after which fol-
lowing relays damped high ex-
plosives on the blazing bea-
cons. A Catholic church was
hit. Small fires started in res-
idential districts.
A third town in the north-
west was raided fairly heavily,
informants said. Fires were
started but were pot oat be-

PRIORITY RULE ON
MILITARY PLANES
IS NOT EXPECTED
Washington. Nov. 28. (UP)
—The national defense priori-
ties board tonight reached a
decision on whether the air-
craft industry should be com
pel led to give orders for mili-
tary planes precedence over
commercial aviation require-
ments, but withheld a formal
announcement until tomorrow.
It was understood, how-
ever, that the board had de-
cided not to invoke the priority
rule. It reached its decision
after a conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The board is expected to is-
sue a statement of policy set-
ting forth the position enunci-
ated by1 Mr. Roosevelt Tuesday
—that the need for military
planes comes first—and ex-
pressing the hope that the
problem can be settled with-
out, invoking priorities powers
vested in the board by the
president.

“Fingernail Watch”
Is Built in a Year
Philadelphia. (CP)—M a x
Argent, Swiss-American
watchmaker, made what is
believed to be the smallest ac-
curate watch in the world. It is
smaller than the average
man’s fingernail.
Argent’s hobby is—watch-
making. It took him two hours
daily for one year to make the
tiny watch, which is 3-32 ds of
an inch thick and l7-32nds of
an inch in diameter. The
screws of the watch have tfle
diameter of a pinpoint and
the pinions are only as thick
as a human hair.
In 1937-38, corn production
in the United States was five
times that of all Latin Ameri-
ca.

sings of Texas cotton through-
out the state.
Already 1940’s farm receipts
have totaled $355,000,000,
compared to only 343,000,000
during the first ten months of
1939, the bureau records show.
"With considerably more
cotton to be ginned during
November and December,
than during the corresponding
period a year ago, and also
more cattle of probably better
quality to be marketed at
higher prices, it is now clear
that the 1S40 income will be
well above that of 1939,” Dr.
F. A. Buechel, bureau statisti-
cian and associate director,
explained.
“Not all districts of the state
will be equally benefitted,
however,” he warned.
October’s receipts were al-
most 20 per cent greater than
September’s $72,227,000—at-
tributed by Dr. Buechel to a
larger and later maturing cot-
ton crop which boosted Octo-
ber ginnings higher than
usual.
“Favorable range and feed
conditions also resulted in
withholding cattle from mar-
ket as long as possible—thus
not only improving the quali-
ty of the animals and obtain-
ing better prices for them, but
also serving as the best medi-
um for economically market-
ing the feed crop and grass,”
he said.
The favorable trend over
lest year he predicted would
and gin- j carry into November.
Continental Army Had
A $3,000,000 Budget
Wilmington, Del. (UFJ—
With Congress appropriating
billions for national defense
and the upkeep of the Army,
Navy and Marine Corps, few
recall that America’s first
Continental Army had a bud-
get of only $3,000,000.
When a group of Massachu-
setts farmers defied the Brit-
ish at Lexington, George Read,
Continental Congressman
from Delaware, blueprinted a
budget for an army of 27,000
men and Hie necessary officers.
His estimate of the army’s
expense amounted to $3,000,-
000, with $2,276,000 for sal-
aries and maintenance of men
and officers, and the remain-
der for war supplies.
The Read plan was adopted
by the Continental Congress in
November, 1775.
Read drew his budget on
both aides of a piece of paper
measuring only 7% by 12
inches.
Argentine wheat production
is not constant, but over a pe-
riod of years the total yield
does not equal that in Kansas
and North Dakota.
New York. (UP)—The New
York World-Telegram said to-
day that ft had learned from
an eye-witness of an abortive
Nazi attempt to invade the
Western Hemisphere at Cura-
cao, strategically important oil
refinery base in the Dutch
West Indies.
The Nazis, landing from a
raider were repulsed by a
British ocupationai force
which killed or wounded 35
of tbe landing psit;^the news-
paper’s informant said. He de-
clined to estimate British
losses or permit the use of his
name.
The battle took place last
July 28 when the Nazis came
ashore under cover of dark-
ness. apparently intent on de-
stroying the Curacao oil re
fineries from which England
derives much of its airplane
gasoline. The informant add-
ed that since then, tension be-
tween Dutch inhabitants of
Curacao and the British has
been heightened by suspicion
that the landing party receiv-
ed local help.
EMPLRKMEliT END
PlfHOlLS MIKE GOOD
Austin, Tex.—Continuing at
September’s high level, Texas
employment and payrolls em-
phasized this year’s gains over
1939, University of Texas bus-
iness statisticians said today.
More working hours per
week for those not previously
fully employed and somewhat
higher wages than a year ago
were reflected in the fact that
payrolls climbed 5 per cent
over October, 1939, while the
number of workers increased
only 2.2 per cent, University
Bureau of Business Research
officials explained.
Manufacturing industries
followed a similar trend, with
number of workers, estimated
at 140,185, increasing 4.8 per
cent and weekly payrolls, es-
timated at $2,844,850, up 7.6
per cent.
In comparison with Septem-
ber, the Bureau’s statewide
index of employment showed
a 1.8 per cent gain, payrolls a
1.2 per cent.
