THIS WEEK .
IN THE WAR
Army Chief of Ordnance Camp
bell, speaking at Salisbury, N. C.,
said, “Our tanks are superior to any
thing the enemy has. Type by type,
■our tanks have heavier guns, heavier
armament and greater speed . . .
our high-velocity 75 millimeter guns
in our M-3 tanks far and away out
range the best the Germans have . . .
and we can fire this high-velocity 75
when the tank is in motion, which is
more than any enemy tank, what
ever its size, can do.”
Gen. Campbell said the so-called
“new German-MM. Gun” is “about
as secret as a Daisy Water Pistol. It
has been known to us and our Allies
for at least 10 years. We outmatch
this gun with several of our old
field and anti-tank guns.” He said
the German 88 is effective as an anti
tank weapon only within its limited
range.
U. S. Machine guns, Gen. Camp
bell said, will outfunction any enemy
gun under the most adverse circum
stances —in other words, they will
keep firing when enemy guns have
to shut down to change barrels.”
The United States “can build a bet
ter automobile, a better typewriter,
a better ice box and we can build—
and are building—.better machine
•weapons,” Gen. Campbell said.
Gen. Campbell said, “The enemy
cannot outdo American design and
production and spirit.”
The WPB reported the dollar val
ue of war shipments from 430 auto
motive industry plants totaled $350
million during April, an increase of
46 per cent over February.
Army Services of Supply Com
mander Somervell instructed civilian
guards at 11,000 war plants to or
ganize an Auxiliary to the Army’s
corps of Military Police as a further
protection against enemy saboteurs.
THE WAR FRONT—
The “Flying Tigers” of the Amer
ican Volunteer group were placed
under the Army Air Corps command
in China and opened their operations
■with heavy raids on three key Jap
anese bases at Hankow, Nanching
and Canton. Six Japanese planes
were destroyed without loss.
A Navy communique reported
Army bombers scored hits on an en
emy cruiser and sank a transport in
the Aleutian Islands. In addition,
Navy submarines sank three destroy
ers. The situation in the Islands
“has not changed materially,” how
ever, in the past two weeks, the
Navy report said. The Office of In
dian affairs announced all of the
Aleutian Islands west of Dutch
Harbor, as well as the Pribilof Is
lands, have been classified as parts
of a total evacuation zone. The Of
fice said nearly 1,000 civilians have
been removed from these areas by
the Navy and transferred to the
American mainland.
The first communique from U. S.
headquarters of the European thea
ter reported six U. S. Douglas light
bombers manned by U. S. pilots suc
cessfully attacked targets by day
light in German-occupied territory
in a joint operation with RAF
bombers. Two American planes
were reported missing. The Navy
said U. S. bombers carried out a
second attack on Japanese-held Wake
Lsland. The Navy also announced
the U. S. Aircraft Carrier Wasp car
ried aerial reinforcements to the
British Island of Malta in the Med
iterranean. Gen. MacArthur’s Aus
tralian headquarters reported repeat
ed air raids on Japanese-held terri
tory in that area. The sinking of
17 more United Nations merchant
vessels by enemy submarine action
was announced.
SCRAP SALVAGE—
The WPB said a new and greatly
intensified campaign to salvage vital
scrap materials will be formally op
ened July 13, because the only way
the U. S. can meet materials require
ments of war production is “to col
lect every last bit of scrap from
every farm and home, and from
every commercial enterprise and in
dustry in the country.” The iron
and steel industry has raised about
$1,500,000 and the glycerin indus
try about $500,000 to finance nation
al advertising to stimulate scrap col
lection, the Board said. The Farm
Implement Industry has offered to
assist the country’s 12,000 state and
local salvage committees in the col
lection of rural scrap. Materials to
be sought in particular are iron and
steel, rubber and waste fats.
The Rubber Scrap Salvage Cam
paign will close at midnight July 10.
The Public Buildings Administration
reported 15,000 pounds of scrap rub
ber were salvaged from Federal
Buildings during the first two weeks
of the campaign. The War Depart
ment said the Army faces a 250,000
ton rubber shortage by the end of
1943, but present plans do not in
clude military requisitioning of ci
vilian tires.
RATIONING—
Price Administrator Henderson
said consumers may purchase an ex
tra two pounds of sugar between
July 10 and August 22, in addition
to the basic half-pound-a-week ra
tion. He said the new East Coast
coupon sj’stem for gasoline ration
ing will grant a fraction of a gallon
more per week than temporary A
cards, but the conditions that must
be met to obtain supplemenal rations
under the permanent system are so
strict that most motorists will have
to get along on the minimum. Mo
torists will register for A books on
July 9, 10, 11. Small boat owners
will be issued E and R gasoline ra
tion books and will receive a basic
six months’ ration of four gallons
for each horse power for inboard
motors and five gallons for outboard
motors.
The OPA set the quota of passen
ger automobiles for rationing during
July at 25,000, excluding state ana
national reserves, which will reduce
the original inventory of abour
402,000 cars to about 260,000. Be
tween July 9 and August 31, the Of
fice will release 230,000 bicycles for
rationing—lßo,ooo to the states,
20,000 to' state reserves and 30,000
for a national reserve.
TRANSPORTATION—
Transportation Director Eastman
banned for the duration all automo
bile, midget car and motorcyle rac
ing meets, effective July 10. He also
asked that State and County Fairs
be postponed for the duration to
help relieve the strain on transport
facilities. The 'ODT postponed until
July 15 the dates on which over
the-road carriers will be required to
be loaded to at least 75 per cent of
capacity for return trips and on
which tank trucks will be limited to
one delivery daily. The office re
ported the majority of milk dealers
have put their deliveries on an every
other-day basis and have reduced
mileage by an average of 25 per cent.
The office authorized its 51 field of
fices to begin action immediately up
on applications for special permits
under the truck conservation regu
lations.
SHIPBUILDNG—
The Maritime Commission said
shipbuilding has not yet equaled to
tal sinkings, but delivery of 66 ships
totaling 730,000 tons by American
shipyards in June set a new world’s
record for steel ship construction
and represented an increase of 450
per cent in volume of construction
since Pearl Harbor. The War Ship
ping Administration reported the U.
S. will operate between 2,200 and
2,600 merchant vessels this year.
HOUSING—
FHA field offices resumed the pro
cessing of applications for priority
assistance in the construction of
privately financed homes for war
workers. Processing was suspended
late in May. The Agency said a
new simplified procedure combines
preference rating applications for
the electricity, gas, water, and sew
er connections of proposed war hous
ing projects with the corresponding
applications covering the housing
itself. The joint applications will be
processed entirely in the field by
the FHA offices and by NHA and
WPB regional offices. NHA Admin
istrator Blandford issued a simpli
fying order to empower qualified
creditors or lenders to decide wheth
er a proposed remodeling project is
“war housing,” thus exempting the
project from credit restrictions set
up by the Federal Reserve Board.
ARMY EXPANSION—
The War Department said men
now in Class 1-B because of minor
physical defects will be inducted in
to limited military service under a
regular quota system in order to
release fully qualified soldiers for
duty with task forces. Only those
1-B’s “who are able to bring to the
army a useful vocation which was
followed in civil life” >yill be called.
TOM LINDER URGES
TALMADGE’S DEFEAT
The State Democratic Executive
Committee officially notified Com
missioner of Agriculture Tom Linder
Monday that he had not qualified as
a candidate for the Senate under the
rules of the committee.
Linder, a lifelong political friend
of Governor Talmadge, immediately
retaliated by calling on the people of
Georgia to defeat Eugene Talmadge
in the coming gubernatorial election.
Linder charged Talmadge with dic
tatorial control of the State Execu
tive Committee and urged the farm
er's of Georgia to scratch Talmadge’s
name off the ballot because Tal
madge, by his actions, had betrayed
the farmers of the state and was no
longer their friend.
Friendship Baptist Colored
Church Honors Its Pastor,
Rev. W. L. Stratten
Sunday, June 28, was pastoral day
at our church. Quite a large crowd
attended the services. After devo
tional service, we had a short pro
gram, much to Rev. Stratten’s sur
prise, which ended in a shower. The
program was as follows:
Talk, “Rev. Stratten as a Com
munity Leader,” by Deacon S. L.
Wiggins; Talk, “Rev. Stratten as a
Pastor,” Evelyn Powell; Solo, “Stand
By Me,” by Senella E. Hubbard;
Talk, “Giving Flowers During Life’s
Period,” by Lacy Walker; Song, “God
Will Take Care of You,” led by
Senella Hubbard; Remarks, Hosea
Fullmore. «
After the program was rendered, I
N. H. Mosely presented the gifts, al
so an offering amounting to $12.55. '
We roughly estimate the value of
the gifts, together with the offering, |
amounted to $25.00 or more.
We wish to thank Mr. J. E. Grubbs
and Mr. Barney Wynne (white) for
the gifts they gave.
Rev. Stratten is the sixth oldest
colored Baptist preacher yet in ac
tive pastorate in the state of Georgia.
He has pastored the St. Luke Bap
tist church in Clay county for 46
[years, and our church for 36 years.
[He is our fourth pastor and we’re
proud of him, we love him and hon
or him. We took this method of
showing him just how much we loved
him. Coming as it did as such a
surprise to him, he was emotionally
stirred to the depths of his heart.
Tears flowed freely as he attempted
to thank he members for their gen
erosity. He said, “In all my days nev
er before have I been blessed with
so great a surprise.”
Our hope is that he may live long
and be blessed with good health, that
he may lead us onward and leave
his name on the footprints of time,
and we can say in corping years that
he has wrought well his part.
