MEXICO MOVES NEARER TO WAR President Calls Extraordi nary Session Of Con gress To Take Action MEXICO CITY, May 25— UP) — President Manuel Avila Camacho led Mexico a step nearer war against the Axis powers today with a call to Congress to meet in ex traordinary sesson and allign the nation as a full-fledged belligerent at the side of the United Nations. Only this Congressional declara tion—regarded as a foregone con clusion—stands between Mexico’s entrance into the conflict; il is ex pected at a special “war session” Thursday. The presidential message, which had full cabinet approval, was quickly and unanimously approved by the permanent Congressional commisson, which functions while Congress is not in session. All but two of the 29th members of the committee were present at the reading of the historic, two-page communication in which the Pre dent asked that they act w t h “urgency” in view of the inter national situation. 5 -V TWO BRAINS % A monkey has two brains, one to control the tail and the other to control the body. 4 Will Speak To The Voters Tonight 7:45 P.

Anyone Who Wastes Traitors - - Nelson NEW YORK, May 25.—UP)—Any one who wastes materials needed in the war effort is “going to be considered a traitor,” Donald M. Nelson, War Production Board chief, declared today at the 27th annual convention of the national association of purchasing agents. “In fact, it is treasonable right now,” he added. He said the annual rate of ex penditure for war production reached $41,000,000,000 this month and he predicted that it would in crease to a rate of $60,000,000,000 a year by this fall. “Today we are the custodians of most of the rare materials,” he said, “and we must keep sending material to England, Russia, South America, India and Australia. Some of the most critical mater ials we have are going to Russia —but they are killing Germans. And no better use can be made of them.” Walter D. Fuller, president of the Curtis Publishing company and chairman of the national associa tion of manufacturers, delcared that Hitler’s coffin—“The most ex pensive in the world”—is on the American production line today. “Until that coffin is finally built, until Hitler and his gang of Nazis and Axis partners are buried in the graves they dug by their un holy ambitions,” he warned, “noth, ing else is important—nothing else matters.” Mayor F.

H. BERGER & SON FURNITURE CO. 707 N. 4th St. Dial 5128 VICHY EXPECTED TO DEFEND DAKAR Attempt To Take It Will Meet Stern Resistance, Davis Group Is Told Any attempt by United Nations forces to sieze strategic Dakar in French West Africa will meet with strong and determined re sistance by Vichy land and sea forces, Dr. Paul M. Atkins assert ed Monday in an orientation lec ture at Camp Davis. Dr. Atkins recently spent sev eral months in Africa, devoting most of his time to a business mission in Dakar. He emphasized in his lecture that the French masses are in sympathy with the United Nations cause, but placed just as much emphasis on the point that the Vichy government does not rep resent the masses. Officers hand picked for their loyalty to Vichy are in charge of the Dakar de fenses, Dr. Atkins said. The lecturer said he considered Dakar “one of the most strategic areas in the world today,” since the African port is only 1,800 miles from Natal, Brazil, making it a good starting point for possible Axis operations against South America. In addition, he reminded, Dakar is a naval and air base, from which Germany, if she got control of the port, might prey on Allied shipping, much of which passes through nearby sea lanes. Dakar has facilities to accommodate bat tle ships, submrines, sea planes and land planes. According to what Dr. Atkins saw and heard in his visit to French West Africa, Dakar is de fended by approximately 25,000 na tive troops. Pill boxes line the coast. The guns Dr. Atkins saw; ranged from four-inchers to 15 inchers in addition to the standard guns of lower caliber. One of the most potent factors in Dakar’s favor in the event of attack is the battleship Richelieu, which has been in the harbor ever since France signed the armistice treaty with Germany. It was the Richelieu which the British dam aged in an abortive attempt to sieze the port. “The Richelieu,” Dr. Atkins said, “is a veritable floating fort ress whose principal mission at present is to assist in the' defense of Dakar.” He pointed out that the Riche lieu’s maximum speed has been halved because of the lack of fa cilities at Dakar to clean her bar nacle-covered bottom, but the ship can-still be maneuvered about in For RECORDER H. Winfield Smith The man you choose for your Recorder serves for four years. Elect me, and I promise to fill the position as honestly and con scientiously as I have filled the position of Solicitor, and cause yoiu no regrets for electing me. Can you afford to pay the bill if you smash Somebodys car? Wo can! the harbor and the firing power of her guns has not been impaired. The speaker said he was con fident that Germany had no troops in the vicinity of Dakar, at least up until six weeks ago. He con ceded that the Laval regime might have given the Germans permis sion to strengthen French defenses there, however. He made the flat assertion that “Germany wants Dakar.” Allied shipping losses have been heavy in the South Atlantic and would be even heavier if Germany had access to the French port. During a ten-day visit to Free town, British seaport in West Af rica, Dr. Atkins saw three British convoys totaling more than 10 0 ships put out to sea. It was his understanding, he said, that the submarine menace had since forced the United Nations to aban don Freetown as a convoy assem bly point. Discussing the weather in French West Africa, Dr. Atkins said it was a land of extremes, with the temperature ranging from 40 to 125 degrees above zero. The heat was bearable he said, for “anyone who has spent a summer in Washing ton D. C., or St. Louis.” 5 -V--— CANNOT CLAIM CEILING ■WASHINGTON, May 25.— UP — The Office of Price Administration ruled today that used tires and tubes which are not serviceable without repairs may not be sold at the ceiling price for undamaged or already repaired tires and mbes.
