Flow Of Arms To Egypt
Accelerated Under
Lend-Lease Law
Washington. — The flow of
W lead-lease munitions to Kgypt to
reinforce Britain’s defense of the
Middle East was reported authori
tatively yesterday to have reach
ed almost a ship a day.
Officials familiar with admin
istration of the $7,000,000,000
lend-lease fund sc id that between
20 and 25 ships a month were
being dispatched by way of either
the Atlantic or Pacific routes to
the Red
The manner in which ship
ments have been accelerated after
a slow start tended to relieve the
pessimism of some American mil
itary experts over British chances
of holding on in the Mediterran-
ean.
Top defense officials were said
reliably to be hopeful now that
the diversion of Xazi forces to
the invasion of Russia would
provide sufficient time for the
British to secure needed arms.

mission to raise prices not more
than five per cent above April lev-
ekv without prior consultation
with government officials.
Speaking at a luncheon of fur

dealers did raise prices within the
five per cent limit they would be

He said it was ‘‘directly con

consumers to buy merchandise
immediately because of threaten

ciation for AVine Control took di
rect action here AVednesday to put
the slate’s wine industry in order
and to insure full cooperation
with the state in enforcement of
new regulations regarding the
sale of wine, effective July 1.
Warned i-V Director John W.
Caffey that the wine industry is
on probation” and "must show
it is making an honest effort to
cooperate,” the association acted
to make effective, both for sale
of fortified and unfortified wines,
a program of self-regulation.
After July 1 fortified wines
may legally be sold only in the
26 ABC counties and there only
under strict ABC board regula-
itons. .
The wine men present for tne
Raleigh meeting unanimously
adopted three recommendations
of the executive committee, which
are to apply to the sale of all
wines in all one hundred coun-
(1) Elimination of all sales to
person-s under 18.
(2) Voluntary prohibition o
sales between the hours of mid
night and 7 a. m. on week days
and between midnight Saturday,
and 12:90 p. m. Sundays.
(3) Appointment of an advis
ory' committee from retail deal
ers to collaborate with the
tculive committee and thus give
all elements of the industry rep-
resenlation. .
Mr Caffey arid personnel of
this committee will be announced
within a week or ten day.3.
