The source indicated that the area under investigation was an isolated delta of the Gurupy riv er which forms the boundary be tween the states of Maranhao and Para on the northern coast of Brazil.

Beunos Aires, Tune 24. ? The stormy battle over the Argentine government's policy of "prudent neutrality" was intensified sharp ly tonight when the Chamber of Deputies adopted a resolution asking Foreign Minister Enrique Ruis Guinazu whether the time had not come to rupture relations with the Axis. The chamber, which consistent ly has opposed the government's foreign policy, called the foreign minister to appear before it soon after the government announced that it was protesting hotly to Germany against- the sinkiug of the Argentine freighter Kio Ter cero. Washington, June 24. ? Pres dent Roosevelt has called Con gressional leaders to the White House for a conference with Prime Minister Churchill of Great Britain which some legislators predicted would be resolved into a searching review of the war situation.

Moscow, Thursday, June 25. ? Russian armies fighting from new positions after forced withdrawals hurled back heavy German tank and infantry attacks on the Kharkov front yesterday and bat tled stubbornly against the num erically over-whelming besiegers of Sevastopol, t<he Soviet high command reported today. Concentrated attacks by hun dreds of German tanks and thousands of planes had driven wedges into some sectors of both fronts, the sheer weight of mass ed men and machines compelling the Russians to fall back to new lines, earlier Soviet dispatches said. Despite the stiffening Red army resistance, the Germans still were attacking heavily on the Kharkov front as Marshal Fedor Von Bock's second offensive in a month raged through it? third day the midnight communique said. Motorized infantry flanked by scores of tanks launched a fur ious assault at one point, it' said, only to be stopped dead and ham mered back with terrific losses In men and armored vehicles. One Red army detachment re pulsed several German attacks which left German bodies heaped on the battlefield, the high com mand said. At Sevastopol Its only reference to Sevastopol was the assertion that "our troops fought< stubborn battles with supe rior enemy forces."

The| start of permanent gasoline ra tioning in the East was postponed tonight from July 15 to July 22 in order to give motorists an ex tra week in which to organize car pooling clubs. The registration of car owners for new rationing cards also was delayed a week. The basic "A" books will be Issued July 9, 10 and 11, instead of July 1, 2 and 3, as originally announced. In order to extend the present emergency plan for the additional weelc, the Office of Price Adminis tration authorized use of the war ^tond seal in the upper left' hand icorner of each card for a ration 'of gasoline. The purchase value of the se&l will vary with the type of card. I Holders of "A" cards will be en-l titled to three gallons to tide | It'hem over the interim period; B-l card holders will be permitted toj purchase four gallons n B-2 hold ers. Ave gallons, and , B-3 card holders, six gallons. - Filling station attendants will punch the seal as if it were one of t-he units on the card. All un used units on the A and B cards will continue to be good for six I gallons each. The local Rationing Board in forms the TIMES that in addl-J tlon to the above Information egistiaMou cards will hare to be presented with the application, es pecially for trucks, so if you have I a car g.r truck and have lost your registration card you had ibetter get a duplicate card at once. This is stressed particu larly because of so many truck operations having lost their reg istration cards when the last reg istration was held. Special ar rangements have been made to care for farm tractors and other farm machinery uslhg gasoline, ! but 'not the highways. As further information all cars! will be entitled to "A" cards, except those qualifying in one of the following Ave classes, each of which will receive special atten tion and a different card: X. A vehicle owned or leased by a Federal. State, local or For eign Government or Government* Agency. 2. An ambulance or hearse. 3. A taxi, Jitney, .livery vehi cle. or vehicle available for pub lic rental. r_ ( 4. A vehicle which Is part of a fleet of 4 or more similar ve hicles used principally In the business or occupation (whether gainful or not) of tlie same per son. * 5. A vehicle held by a dealer for sale or resale. It Is desired that the people un derstand. this is a permanent sys tem and like the sugar card tihe gas must be used as allotted, and I I hat not so used will be of no value, and that-' the allotment Is for a period of 12 months. The holders of "A" cards will be per mitted supplemental allottments when they can qualify for tfcls consideration. Thjs is the text of the inforam tlon received so far. and the FRANKLIN TIMES will be glad to pass on to lt? readers other In formation It receives as It is made public. Louisburg Boys Get Old Tires From River A force of (our little Negro boys made $9 (or themselves and added 900 pounds o( scrap rubber to the national stockpile here Sat urday by reclaiming around 50 wornout truck and auto tires (rom the bottom of Tar River. The Negroes organized their salvage expedition when one o( them overheard a remark that a Louisburg auto dealer had dump ed the old tires in the river be fore the war. Some of the tires were taken from the muddy Tar by wading but most of the old rubber was under 8 to 10 feet of water. The heavier truck tires, weigh ing around 60 to 70 pounds, were pulled up by ropes after one of the diving Negro boys had tied on the ropes. o A pleaaant disposition can be mighty expensive.

One of these eggs has a plain 6 embossed on the shell, another has a plain 9, and still anotiher a plain 2. All of these numbers are embossed or raised and may hare a mean ing in Numerology, but we have been unable to figure them out. Aside from the numerals the eggs are normal and of an average size. We did not learn Vhether the eggs were laid by one or more hens. f It has been suggested that the numbers '?en these eggs indicate i the war will end on the 9th month. 6th day in the year 1942. Let's hope this is correct and tihlngs will happen just that way. TONSIL CLINIC I ? ? ? ? ? One of the most successful Tonsil Clinics many years r was held in the Armory here this week, according to those In con-] nectlon with the Health Depart ment.

North Carolina Third in Rubber Campaign In the rubber campaign, which is to continue until July '1st., Connecticut is first', Florida sec ond, and North Carolina third in the seaboard states.

Beck's Garage, and Jerry Horton's Station all re port receipts of scrap rubber which total approximately 15,000 pounds. It is hoped that by the 1st. more than three times this much will be receive? by Mie sta tions. Housewives are urged to search their premises for even the small est piece of rubber and to see that it is turned in immediately. Chil dren are asked to search all tields, branches, creeks, and riv ers and gather any old rubber that has been discarded so that it may be sold promptly to the fill ing stations for lc per pound. - o Sugar Changes The local Rationing Board re ceived new telegraphic instruc tions making changes in the sugar allottnient?. The condensed in terpretation of which is each per son wHl be allowed to purchase 2 | pounds of sugar each four weeks l.eginnlng Monday. June 2?th in stead of 1 pound each two weeks as heretofore. The order reads, Sugar Stomp No. S will he good for 2 pounds of :>ugar during the period be tween June 28th and July 25th. and Stamp No. 6 will be good for 2 pounds betweeil July 26 and August 22.
