A WEEK OF THE WAR
(COMPILED BY OFFICE OF WAR
INFORMATION)
All motorists in the non-rationed
areas of the country were asked
by Price Administrator Henderson
to observe the same rules in using
their cars that are enforced in the
rationed Eastern area, as a means
of conserving rubber tires until a
national rationing plan can be put
into effect. He said it will be sever
al weeks before coupon ration books
can be printed to carry out the na
tion-wide gas rationing recommended
by the Baruch Rubber Committee.
Unless the nation’s 27,000,000 mo
torists cut their driving “to the
bone,” Mr. Henderson said, “we’re
likely to coast right into Hitler’s
lap.”
The White House issued a chart
prepared by the Society of Automo
tive Engineers showing that the nor
mal life of a tire is doubled when
the average driving speed is reduced
from 40 to 20 miles an hour, or
from 50 to 30 miles an hour. The
President said he thought the chart
should be brought to the attention
of the country as a persuasive argu
ment for slow driving.
The Baruch Rubber Committee
recommended that motorists be cur
tailed to a general average of 5,000
miles a year, The committee also
recommended a national speed limit
of 35 miles an hour and compulsory
periodic tire inspection. Complete
reorganization of government agen
cies concerned with the rubber pro
gram and appointment of a rubber
administrator with full responsibility
for conservation and synthetic pro
duction programs were also recom
mended.
Additional rubber must be re
leased to fully maintain essential .ci
vilian driving, reclaiming operations
must be stepped up, and to increase
synthetic production, the committee
recommended immediate expansion
of plant capacity for Buna-s, Buta
diene, Neoprene, and alcohol, and
■elimination of any further substitu
tion in plans for synthetic produc
tion. The President told his press
■conference virtually all of the com
mittee’s' recommendations except
gasoline rationing will be put into
effect immediately.
THE WAR FRONT—
Gen. MacArthur’s Australian head
quarters reported allied forces have
kept the Japanese thrust toward
Port Moresby bottled .in the towering
Owen Stanley Mounains while allied
aircraft swept the seas surrounding

the islands, bombing enemy supply
ships. Gen. MacArtbur announced
September 14 that United Nations
bombers attacked three Japanese
cargo ships, apparently bound for
New Guinea, and American Flying
fortresses bombed a Japanese cruis
er off the southeast coast of New
Britain. Earlier, the fortresses hit
two enemy destroyers in the same
area. Japanese bombers continued to
attack U. S. forces in the Solomons
and the enemy has “reinforced and
supplied” Japanese troops in the in
terior of Guadalcanal where U. S.
Marines are engaged in mopping up
operations, the Navy reported. The
Navy said that- 20 more Japanese
planes have been shot down in three
heavy bombing
at least 143 the number of Jap
planes officially reported shot down
since operations began August 7.
U. S. Army headquarters in Lon
don reported American flying fort
resses and medium bombers success
fully bombed the Schiedam Ship
yards at Rotterdam, Railway Yards
at Utrecht, an airframe factory and
the St. Omer Airdrome in Nazi-occu
pied France. Damage to intercept,
included 17
ers destroyed, 25 more probably de
stroyed and 25 damaged.
Two fortresses were listed as
missing, the first American losses in
12 straight attacks on Nazi territory
in Europe. The Navy announced the
sinking of eight more United Na
tions merchant vessels by enemy
submarines.
WAR STRATEGY—
The White announced that during
July Army Chief of Staff Marshall,
Chief of Naval Operation King and
Special Adviser to the President
Hopkins conferred with high British
officials in London and at these
conferences certain vital military
decisions directed toward taking the
offensive were made. The President,
in a radio address, said the power
of Germany must be broken on the
continent of Europe and “prepara
tions are being made here' and in
Britain toward this purpose.” Under
Secretary of War Patterson, speak
ing in Muskegon, Michigan, said that
more than 600,000 men in the armed
forces are overseas and this force
“will be* doubled and doubled and
doubled to the limit of our manpow
er.” W. Averill Harriman, special
Lend-Lease Minister t o London,
said the Russians “are determined to
fight to the finish . . . alone with
their own resources if need be. But
they will fight on with even more
EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
strength and courage if we give
effective aid.”
THE ARMED FORCES—
President Roosevelt told his press
conference he did not think it would
be necessary to call up 18- and 19
year-olds before the first of next
year because army training facilities
at present are only equal to the
number of men being taken in, but
he is discussing with the army wheth
er enabling legislation will be need
ed soon. Army ground forces Com
mander McNair announced the num
ber of army divisions in existence or
being mobilized has more than dou
bled since January 1.
War Secretary Stimson an
nounced , the , air transport command
will establish an experimental unit
of 50 trained women aviators the
,,r__ Womens , Auxiliary . ... Ferrying -r, . Squad- „’ ,
ron, to ferry smaller planes from
factories to airfields.
The weather bureau called for 75
women airplane pilots to take a
course in meteorology. Mr. Stimson
also said the army expects to call
most, and possibly all, student re
servists who have reached selective
service age to active duty by the
end of the college term beginning in
September. The Coast Guard is
forming a fleet of 250 fire fighting
machine boats, most of them em
bodying a new design in propulsion
and fire-fighting machinery, to be
used in protecting water-front facil
ities along U. S. coasts.
TRANSPORTATION—
Office of Defense Transportation
Director Eastman announced “no
special train or bus service, includ
ing charter bus service, to football
games or other sports events will
be permitted. At the same time I
am directing that steps be taken by
my office to prevent the overcrowd
ing of regular trains serving areas
in which such events are to be held.”
The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion ruled that for the duration all
railroad carriers may disregard any
present regulations governing length
of trains when necessary to- assure
prompt movement of freight or pas
sengers.
The ODT ordered all operators of
commercial rubber borne vehicles ex
cept motorcycles to carry and show
a “certificate of necessity” in order
to obtain gasoline, tires or parts
after November 15. The regulation
covers almost 5,000,000 non-military
trucks, 150,000 buses, 50,000 taxi
cabs and all ambulances and hearses
Applications for certificates, as well
as other pertinent information, will
be mailed about September 23 to
all persons who registered last De
cember 31 as owners of motor ve
hicles available for public rental.
WAR PRODUCTION—
War Production Chairman Nelson
asked war workers to stop taking
an extra day off and to refrain from
“Quickie” strikes over minor griev
ances because such absences slow
production.
He said the nation’s production
record is not nearly good enough.
The President by executive order
prohibited payment of “penatly dou
ble-time” pay for work on Satur
days, Sundays and holidays, but
permitted payment of double-time
for the seventh consecutive day’s
work and of time-and-a-half for all
overtime work after 40 hours a
week. Under Secretary of War
Patterson said U. S. plane produc
tion in August was greater than that
of Germany, Italy and Japan com
bined and tank production, already
at an impressive high, will be twice
as great in December.
LABOR SUPPLY—
WlPB Chairman Nelson ordered a
48-hour work-week established in
lumber camps and sawmills in the
Pacific Northwest because log inven
tories are the lowest in five years.
To relieve growing labor shortages,
war manpower Chairman McNutt or
dered that workers in the lumber
and nonferrous metal industries in
Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
Utah, Wyoming, California, Nevada,
Oregon, Washington, New Mexico
and Texas may not seek jobs else
where without obtaining “certificates
of separation” from the U. S. Em
ployment Service, and no employer
in the critical area shall employ such
a worker if he has no certificate,
j The industries affected employ ap-
1 proximately 200,000 workers.

governess on the islands and watched
the attack on Pearl Harbor from her
employer’s house while the bullets
whizzed by her head. Now 27, June

COMMISSIONED: A general felt
like applauding, their director was
“proud,” as all but eight of the
original group of 444 WAAC officer
candidates received their commis
sions at Fort Des Moines . . . But no
one was more pleased than Repre
sentative Edith Nourse Rogers, who
delivered the commencement ad
dress and whose earlier insistence on
the need for such a corps was based
on her own experiences in • World
War I.

“BUT HEROES:" An Illinois girl
with the Army Nurses corps in the
Southwest Pacific recently told, in a
letter to her mother, of the heroism
of the boys wounded in the Solomon
Islands battle . . . The question most
of them asked first was how to send
a letter home . . . They were just
“kids,” she said, “but what heroes!”

WAVES LAUNCHED: Reveille for
the WAVES now attending the in
doctrination school at Northampton,
Mass., will be sounded by a gong in

women who will do shore duty must
know about befats, the commandant
of the school, Capt. Herbert W.
Underwood explained that the navy’s
women must be able to “hold their
own conversationally” . . . When the
present officer candidates finish their
training (their commissions are pro
visional, you know), they will be ac
corded a very special privilege. They
will be permitted to write a letter
of criticism to the navy depart
