He said tke.. American troops
were well equipped and included
"Important technical units."
The prime minister aUO an
nounced that he hail created "the
prime minister’s war conference”
consisting of himself. General
Douglas MacArthur and such
ministers and officers as he might
summon to discuss highest stra
tegical questions. %
In his statement on the Amer
ican reinforcements he staid:
“Strong additional United
States reinforcements which are
well equipped and Include Imitor-
tant technical units have arrived.
“The equipment position has
materially Improved.
"In addtlon to acceleration of
local production of munitions,
supplies of tanks and guns are
arriving from overseas In In
creasing numbers and quantities
of vl‘al war equipment have been
received from ships originally
destined for the Dutch Bast In
dies.
“Supplies of modern United
aircraft have mode possible re
inforcement of our northern air
bases, resulting in constant raid
ing of Japanese bases in New
Guinea, New B-itain and Timor.'
Prepare For Offensive
Curtin asserted that Australia
wa.s preparing to take the of
fensive against the Japanese ev
en in the face of an invasion
threat which she regards as con
stant and undlminirihed.
Notwithstanding Japanese
losses in aircraft and shipping at
New Guinea and elsewhere, the
commonwealth government re
gards an outright attack on Aus
tralia as a constant and undi-
rainished danger.” he said.
“Japanese aircraft losses in
land operations at Darwin and in
New Guinea and elsewhere ex
ceed 1.50 bombers and fighters,
with 100 damaged.
"But still Japan is able almost
at will to reinforce Timor and
New Guinea areas with men and
aircraft.
“Nor have we hitherto been
able substantially to w-eaken the
enemy’s position in the regions
occupied by him in the advance
southward."
The prime minister spoke twice,
once in a long war statement to
the house of representatives and
also in a broadcast to England
reaffirming Auslrelia's loyalty to
the empire.
Sees Turning Point
A!‘hough he told the legisla
ture that Australia mdst expect
Japan to try her utmost to make
this continent impotent as a base
for the allied offensive, he pre-
dlc'ed in his broadcast that “the

Give eggs a break: There are
hundreds of ways to use eggs.
A homemaker is netilfgent when
she allows her family to become
tired of eggs at this season of
the year when they are plentiful.
Eggs are rich in Iron and Vita
mins A and G, They are also a
good source of Vltrmins B and D.
A guidepost for cooking eggs
and cheese dishes Is to use a
low temperature. Don’t boil eggs,
simmer them. Long cooking and
high temperatures are causes of
curdled custards.
For foot comforf: Put a little

from dampness and cold.

FIVE CARDS
There are five types of ration
cards and the kind to which a mo
torist is entitled depends upon the
average mileage he drives daily in
going to and from work.
Here is the gallonage for various
ration cards covering the May 15
July 1 period:
“A” card holders—Non-essential
motorists, or those who drive less
than six miles daily—21 gallons.
“B-1” card holders—Those who
drive from six to 10 miles daily—
33 gallons.
“B-2” card holders—Those driv
ing from 10 to 14 miles daily—45
gallons.
“B-3” card holders—^Those who
drive over 14 miles daily—57 gal
lons.
“X” card holders — “Essential”
workers who cannot accurately pre
dict their daily mileage, like doc
tors and nurses who may be called
over a wide area—unlimited gaso
line for their essential uses.
AS HE PLEASES
A motorist may use his allowance
of gasoline as he pleases, adhering
to the average weekly figure or
spending the entire amount for the
47-day period -within a few days of
vacationing. However, dealers may
not be able to supply a motorist
with his full allotment at one time.
OPA officials said that a perman
ent rationing plan for the 17 Eas
tern states will go into effect July 1.
