Mr. Roosevelt remarked that rubber was a nationwide matter while the gasoline problem was confined principally to the eastern seaboard, the Pacific northwest and a few isolated point far from the sources of supply. Whether the two situations can be completely disassociated, he said, depends on hew the pick-up campaign turns out and the facts developed from it. He offered car-owners a little piece of advice from the President of the United States If you have four tires on your car make them last as long as you can. There are two ways to do this, but cutting mileage—not es sential mileage required in going to and from work—at least in half, and cutting down on speed. If car-owners followed this, he said, it was hoped that the advice would not have to be implemented in some way. A bill to permit allocation of suf ficient crude and recalimed rubber RUSSIANS STILL HOLD SEVASTOPOL (Continued From Pare One> city, but the civilians quickly ex tinguished the fires and repaired damage to essential service. All vital industries and institu tions were established under a thick protective layer of rock leav ing the ground free for full de velopment of the defense. Some 800 miles to the north, fighting intensified before Moscow where the Germans made several testing attacks reported to have cost them 6,300 dead and 74 tanks in ten days. Other sectors of the 2,000 mile front appeared quiet. Describing enormous German losses before Sevastopol, the army newspaper Red Star said the Ger mans who succeeded in blasting a wedge into Russian defenses at one point were thrown pack over the piled bodies of their dead. The fully fury of the German attack broke in a two-headed drive, after two days of feeler thrusts. “Strong infantry forces support ed by tanks and aircraft sham med an attack on a certain height” Red Star said. “The Germans then sent their main forces into an at tack somewhat to the left. Their ruse failed and the enemy en countered strong and staunch de fense and the attack petered out.” Powerful and accurate Red ar tillery, trench mortar, rifle and machinegun fire was said to be taking a terrifying toll. Despite the paucity of airfields, the Red air force was credited with warding off the bulk of the German air raids on the city and its defenders. HARD GOING BERLIN (From German Broad casts) June 9.—(JP)—German mili tary sources tonight described the fighting around Sevastopol, in the Crimea, as “intensely fierce” and said “German troops have to fight for every foot of soil they gain.” “No secret is made of the fact that the Soviets here again have demonstrated particular skill in building trenches, camouflaging and laying mines,” said the in formants. -V RAF PLANNING GERMAN RAIDS (Continued From Page One) though of course this is only sur mise.” Harris indicated he did not con sider raids like the mass attacks on' Cologne and Essen as really “heavy bombing.” “Some people argue that heavy bombing will not win wars." he said. "To them I answer that it hasn’t been tried yet. When it Is. Germany will be the experiment and Japan will be the confirma tion.” Another well-informed air source said “the day is not distant” when the Allies will be able to send five hundred planes nightly to smash centers of the German mil. itary defense system in western Europe while the main at t a ck against Nazi industry is maintain ed. to permit operation of 20,000,000 cars is now pending before a Sen. ate committee and was supported today by Glenn L. Martin, airplane manufacturer. Murray, Senator (D.-Mont.) said that the chief executive, who con ferred yesterday with three House members on the related problems of rubber, gasoline and transporta tion, was giving the entire matter “earnest study.” Mr. Roosevelt has indicated that he might tell the people in a radio address of his findings. While Martin testified briefly be fore the Senate Banking committee on behalf of the rubber allocation measure introduced by Senator El lender (D.-La.), Arthur Newhall, WPB rubber coordinator, warned a Senate Agricultural subcommit tee that the armed services would require all the rubber “we see in sight for the next two years.” Ellender’s bill would permit the allocation of 3,500 tons of crude rubber and 85,000 tons of reclaim ed rubber annually for recapping and retreading automobile tires. He estimated this would permit the operation of “at least 20,000.000 passenger cars” as compared with a normal annual operation of 30, 000,000 cars. “I believe it has teen definitely established,” Ellender told the committee, “that in order for this country to carry on its war pro duction program and maintain a sound civilian economy, we must have at least that number of pas senger cars in operation.” The proposed allocation of crude and recalimed rubber, he added, would permit the recapping or re treading of 30,000,000 tires “with out in any way affecting adversely our war program.” 8 \r WRITER SAYS GERMANS ASK FOR DELIVERANCE (Continued From Pare One) tions was not the sort of stuff that many Americans wanted to read”, said Lochner. ‘‘Many of my com patriots put me down as pro-Nazi when I warned them of the efficacy of the German war machine. “My friends, it wasn’t because I liked that uncanny and at first seemingly invincible war machine that I wrote about it in detail ” Lochner explained. “But because I wanted my fellow countrymen to be prepared, and because I hoped that my French colleagues in the United States would pick up some of my observations and cable them back to their Parisian papers.” Lochner said that during his various trips to the German west ern front “the thing that I felt instinctively during my first Polish trip became a fixed conviction; German air superiority at that time was one of the vital factors in determining the success of Nazi arms.” It whs the German air force which directed the artillery fire and the battle generally by wire less (where was the Allied air force? We kept asking in our dispatches, thereby again earning the undeserved title of pro - Nazi); it was the German air force which spotted every advancing Dutch, Belgian and especially French col umn, miles and miles before they were anywhere near the points as signed to them; it was the air force which with its screaming, screeching Stukas wrought havoc in the advancing columns of op posing troops." Lochner described his entrance into Paris with German troops on June 14, 1940, with the famous Place de la Concorde “less noisy and less peopled than some sleepy village square.” He told of the dramatic French capitulation at Compiegne, his trip to the Yugo slavia and Greek fronts. The Yugoslavs, he said, never had a chance. As <o the Greeks Lochner said "I have seen much misery during three years behind the German lines, but nothing com pares with the abject misery of unfortunate Greece.” Lochner described a trip to the Belgian and French coast in the autumn of 1940 “which opened our eyes to the speed with which the Hitler machine was trying to con dition this area against a later re-visit by United Nations troops. “I will only say that, from what I saw, I feel sure that a landing by the United Nations is quite pos sible.” , Lochner said his last visit to the front was in August of 1941 when he went via Finland and the La doga lakes into northern Russia. Lochner said that he and one of his American colleagues had mis givings about absenting themsleves from Berlin. “You are wrong,” he quoted an official who invited them on the journey. “The reason why we are asking you to Helsinki is that we expect to take you into Leningrad within eight or 10 days.” “We started from Berlin on July 30,” commented Lochner. “It is now June 9 and I am still not in Leningrad.’ _v_ Casteen Issues Warning On Autos Without Tires Warning to persons not to leave automobiles, from which tires have been removed, parked on the streets indefinitely was issued Tuesday by Chief of Police C. H. Casteen. “It doesn’t look good to use the streets for a storage space,” the chief said, “and when cars are left without tires the rims sink into the asphalt during hot weather.” Chief Casteen urged that motor ists cooperate and warned that if automobiles in such condition were not removed from the streets they would be stored in the city garage as it is a violation of the law. 3 Are YOU the inquisitive type?

The board is to take ac count of the need for maximum production, “the need to reduce de mands on shipping to a minimum, and the essential needs of the ci vilian populations.” It also is to adjust the “combined production program to meet changing mili tary requirements.” The duties of the food board, as outlined in a memorandum from the President to Wickard, are to investigate and formulate plans “relating to the supply, produc tion, transportation, disposal, al location or distribution, in or to any part of the world, of foods, agricultural material and equip ment. “In principle,” this memoran dum said, ‘the entire food re sources of Great Britain and the United States will be deemed to be in a common pool, about which the fullest information will be in terchanged.” Discussing the action at n 1 s press conference, Mr. Roosevelt said it might mean that we would have to give up some things but that it was designed to insure dis tribution of food supplies' on a fair basis to all the countries. Both boards are to cooperate with the other United Nations. By obtaining information on the food needs of all the United Na tions, the President said, he be lieved food allocation could be worked out so as to avoid hard ships as much as possible.

The standing vote of 125 to 57 by which the House rejected the Sen ate proposals followed a plea by majority leader McCormack (D. Mass.) for their adoption and a warning by farm bloc leaders that the amendments would pave the way for destruction of the entire parity program of supporting farm prices. The House originally had provid ed that government controlled de teriorated grain stocks could be sold for less than parity for feed ing purposes or for the manufac ture of alcohol, but the Senate re moved the requirement that the grain must be deteriorated if sold for these purposes. The Senate also put a figure of 125,000,000 bushels Obituaries BEVERLY P.
