U. S. WILL IM )SE LIMIT ON IMPORTS Foreign Ships To Be Com pelled To Give Preference To War Materials WASHINGTON. June 2— Wl — The War Production Board tonight announced it would take control on July 2 over all imports into the United States, compelling for eign vessels to give preference to war-essential cargoes rather than shipments transported primarily for profit. Among civilian commodites cias sed as least essential imports, which would be affected by the action, were coffee, cocoa, ba nanas and beef. WPB spokesmen said the action, taken in a complete revision of previous import control orders, would establish a priority system on shipping space for imports through controls over purchases in this country. Heretofore, controls have been exercised by the war shipping ad ministration through the Maritime pool of the United Nations. How ever. some countries—notably, in the Western Hemisphere. Argen tina and Chile—have not entered the pool and this government could not control use of their ships. Commodities for import are list ed in three groups, with strategic materials first, essential civilian commodties second, and items of least importance third. No person, except government agencies, may import items on any of the three lists without first obtaining specific permission from the WPB. The board will be guided in granting permisson by the rel ative importance of the goods in volved. After arrival in this country, items on list one may be sold only to government agencies, or to others upon specific WPB author ity. This is substantially the pres ent method of handling these im ports. Items on the second list may be sold without restriction, insofar as the import order is concerned. Their domestic uses are controlled by other WPB orders except where control is not considered necessary •--V Hagwood Services Set For Middlesex Today Funeral services for Miss Annie Mae Hagwood, of Middlesex, 20 year - old student nurse at Mary Elizabeth Hospital in Raleigh, who died Monday night at the James Walker Memorial hospital here several hours after she had been; rescued from the surf at Wrights v.'lle Beach, will be conducted this afternoon at Middlesex.

Great Production Area With Essen itself, these cities form a great production triangle in the Ruhr. While the main force of the Brit ish attack was being centered in the Essen area, other squadrons smashed at the enemy’s airdromes over great areas of Germany, France and the low countries to pin down his fighter plane defense. All was conducted on a pattern of the closest cooperation and the British losses of 35 planes were light against the vast scope of the operation. (The German accounts put British losses at 59 planes yes terday and through last night.) While much remained to be learned of the effect of these as saults, all available information in dicated that they spread the sort of devastation which earlier had left Cologne a smoking ruin. The Nazi high command, de scribing RAF assaults as “terror attacks directed against the civi lian population,” announced that its own bombers overnight had at tacked the historic British cities of Canterbury and Ipswich. 3 City Briefs DOG CLINICS John Codington, rabies inspec tor, will hold the following clinics for dog vaccinations, to day: 9 a. m. to 12 noon, Thir teenth and Dawson streets, and 2 to 5 p. in., community build ing Lake Forest.

OUTPUT OF ARMS SHOWS INCREASE Production Sufficient To Supply Both Ours And Allied Armies WASHINGTON, June 2.— W — Weapons are coming from Ameri can factories in quantities suffici ent to supply our own Army and meet the requirements of our al lies, undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson said today. Despite the huge expansion of the United States armed forces, Patterson said in an interview, and despite the fact that the per capita issue of weapons has been increas ed in the Army, the major problem now was shipping, not production. “I am sure,” said the undersec tary, “that the production of arm aments will keep pace with need, and ahead of shipping. We will be able to equip .all the troops we can raise. “I am not saying that this will not call for continuous effort on the part of American industiy. Production problems have not all been solved. However, I am confi dent we will find a solution for all of them, and anticipate no real shortage of production of military weapons for the Army.” The increased issue of small arms resulted chiefly from the new danger of attack by parachute troops, Patterson said. Such units as air corps ground troops, suppyl personnel and anti-aircraft gun crews, not previously equipped with small arms, now are receiv ing them as protection against par achute troops, and the undersecre tary estimated that these and oth er new requirements had doubled t he Army’s demands for light wea pons. 3 TANK FIGHT RAGES IN DESERT WASTES (Continued from Page One) mous price in .machines and men in the scorching heat and swirling sand.
