O. vockler secretary of the chamber V commerce, said Wednesday as 0 pointed to only 10 replies to the t,-,.'survey, being conducted by Vl' citv in'cooperation with the chamber and Wilmington Star ^While responses thus far have jjv confirmed the fact that a ser ies shortage of meat exists in Wilmington, Fockler declared that ,.m0re and more replies to ques tionnaires must be sent in before r concerted action can be ex pected.” __* The chamber head pointed out that efforts through other sources have been fruitless, so that “it is now up to the people.’’ One Wilmingtonian reported to the Star-News at noon that 140 food ration points, accumulated by his family of six and which expire Wednesday night, were used Wed nesday morning by his wife who stocked up on wesson oil, lard, and “one piece of ham.” He said his wife “bought whatever she could get” but that 60 points will expire. Answering a meat survey ques tionnaire, one Princess street housewife said she was able to buy ‘only medium quality pork or beef, if any.” Answering the query of how much she was able to buy, she replied “only that found by chance.” A Wilmington man replied he was not able to buy any meat “unless we are in the store at the time what little they have is being cut.” A Dock street householder said that where she used eight to 10 pounds of meat two years ago, she is able only to obtain about “two to three pounds now.” A Wrights ville avenue woman who used the same amount two years ago, now secures “about four pounds per week.” A newcomer declared “some beef and some pork” is bought by her, and a native replied “only lamb and bacon” are available. Another said she bought “only pork and weiners once in a while, or a piece of lamb. No beef in two weeks.” Smart and Cool Dresses FOR JULY 4th SUMMER DRESSES Lovely new styles m cool summer tabrics.

CHURCHILL SAYS NEW PUSH NEAR (Continued From Page One) “ended in the total defeat of the U-boat attack.” “More than 30 U-boats were certainly destroyed in May,” and since mid-May “scarcely a single merchant ship has been sunk in the whole of the North Atlantic,” Churchill announced. Because of this “we have had in June the best month we have ever known” in the war, he said, and shipyards of the United States, Britain and Canada have produced between “seven and 10 times as much as our losses from enemy action in the month of June.” “Bad patches” might still lie ahead, and “w« must redouble our efforts and ingenuity” against submarines, he cautioned but — since U-boat warfare, is held out to the Germans as their last great hope—these successes are bring ing the Nazis “a somewhat raw and bleak outlook.” As to the air, Churchill disclosed that the RAF alone has dropped 52,500 tons of bombs upon Ger many in the first half of 1943, or 35 times the weight dropped by the Nazis upon Britain in the same period. ‘‘During the summer our main attack has been upon the main spring of German war industry— in the Ruhr—but as the nights become longer and as the United States Air Force becomes more numerous our strong arms will Lengthen both by night and by day and there is no industrial or mili tary target in Germany that will not receive as we deem necessary the utmost application of exter minating force,” he declared. Churchill praised the daylight blows by the U. S. Air Force as inflicting “grave injury on the sensitive nerve center” of Ger many war production, and said the Allied attacks would follow German industry to small towns as big ones are “disposed of.” Russia “presently will contri bute an additional quota to the total blitz,” he added. Of Mussolini — who was urged sarlier today by Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden in a speech in Com mons to “accept the uncondition al surrender terms offered to aim”—Churchill said he and his people are suffering from the war of nerves. “So far they have only been subjected to preliminary and dis cursive bombardments, but they already are speculating feverish ly where the blow will fall and what will be its weight,” he re marked. The Allies do not intend to "re lieve that anxiety” for Mussolini or for Hitler, whose worries over Allied invasion plans "may per haps have led to the remarkable long delay of the opening of the promised German offensive a gainst Russia,” Churchill added. Their anxieties “will grow from week to week and from month to month,” he continued. He warned peoples of Allied nations against over-confidence, stressing the en ormous difficulties of amphibious warfare. Allied cooperation in war and in peace was emphasized by the prime minister. He spoke of “the great republic of the United States whose power arouses no f--.r and whose pree minence excites no jealousy in British bosoms,” adding: “Upon the association and inti mate alignment of the policy of the United States and the British Commonwealth and Empire de pends more than upon any other factor the immediate future of the world. i “If they walk or, if need be, Inarch together in harmony and in accordance with the moral and political conceptions to which the English-speaking peoples have giv en birth and which are frequently referred to in the Atlantic Char ter, all will be well. If they fall apart and wander astray from the lines of their destiny there will be no end or measure to the m»er ies and confusion which would mark modern civilization.” Churchill told of friendship for Russia, of great hopes for China’s future and of a revival of the “true greatness of France,” in declaring that the United States and Bri tain must act together to secure peace and safety. -V Benswanger Surprised By Philadelphia Deal PITTSBURGH, June 30 —(£>)— President William E.
