House-Backed
Fund Due For
Senate Vote
Companion Bill to Boost
Navy Passed Without
Urge for Battleships
WASHINGTON, June 27
(AP) A $42,820,000,000 mili
tary supply bill providing
funds for the purchase of 23,550
warplanes and the equiplng of an
army of 4,500,000 men was unani
mously approved today by the
senate appropriations committee.
, The record-breaking measure,
already passed by the house vote
352 to 0, is expected to go before
the senate Monday.
Included in the total was $12,
700,000,000 for the lend-lease ma
terial, increasing to $62,944,630,
000 the amount thus far voted by
congress for aid to others of the
United Nations. '
Senator, Thomas,, chairman,
said ; the 'committee "made" only
one minor change In the house
bill, deleting a section permitting
army camp newspapers to ob
tain advertising. He said it was
hoped the house would accept this
change without debate, speeding
the bill to the president for his
consideration next week.
No attempt was made within
the committee to reduce the
amount of the appropriations or
to delay their effectiveness, Tho
mas and other committee mem
bers said.
Thomas said testimony taken in
closed sessions convinced him
that all of the money should be
made available at once, despite
the fact that the war department
had a backlog of about $35,000,
000,000 in appropriations on
which contracts had not yet been
let.

money it needs when it needs it,"

Tires, Tubes To Be
Denied Reckless
Drivers, Speeders
PORTLAND, June 27. (AP)
The office of price administra
tion has authorized rationing
boards to refuse tires and tubes
to eligible purchasers known to
have abused tires by exceeding
recommended speed limits or
driving recklessly or carelessly.
Richard G. Montgomery, state
OPA director, said the order was
effective July 1. The accepted
speed limit is 40 miles an hour.
Applicants will be asked to cer
tify that they have not driven in
a manner to waste tires, affida
vits will be subject to police inves
tigation and false statements will
be punisnaDie Dy a siu.uuu line,
10 years In prison, or both.
The order, described by the
OPA as one of the most drastic
actions since rationing began, ap
plies equally to bus companies,
truckers and individual motorists
in California, Oregon, Washing
ton, Nevada and Arizona. It was
prompted, officials said, by three
factors:
1. Needless waste of rubber by
autoists.
2A noticeable lack of pooling
of transportation facilities by in
dividuals.
3. An "alarming Increase" In
the number of auto accidents,
some fatal, involving defense
workers or others eligible to buy
tires and tubes.
In line with federal restric
tions, It was announced at Port
land last Wednesday that new
tires would also be denied to
truck operators exceeding load
limits, a warning applying parti
cularly to logging concerns.

Axis Sub Sunk By
U.S. Cargo Boat
A FLORIDA PORT, June 27-
(AP) The alert navy gun crew
of a United States cargo shin hit
ana almost cor tally sank an axis
submarine off the coast of Cuba,
the master of the vessel said to
day.
Capt. John E. Ellison of Upper
Darby, Pa., said the raider was
taken by surprise and did not
have time to fire torpedoes or get
its deck gun into action. Its ma
chine gun went Into action and
about 30 bullets struck the ship
without doing any damage.
The American ship's engines
were not running, so the subma
rine apparently had not been
warned of its presence by listen
ing devices and was caught by
surprise as It came to the sur
face, Captain Ellison said.
The first shot from the mer
chantman was a near miss. The
second fired at about 200 feet,
point blank range, struck the sub
marine at the water line, just
forward of the conning tower, as
the craft seemed the be crash-div
ing.
At this shot "there was a muffl
ed explosion, and the submarine
turned over sideways as it went
down," Hansen said.
"There is no doubt In my mind
that we got the sub," he added,
"The whole thing didn't last
over three minutes.

know of too many instances

rubber was collected at a cost of

Douglas Budget
Items Targets Of
Heated Attacks
The public hearing on the an
nual county budget was continued
this afternoon, after slow pro
gress had been made during the
morning hours. Little objection
was voiced to any of the propos
ed budget expenditures, but heat
ed debate developed concerning
policies connected with some de
partments.
The question raised last year
concerning separation of the of
fice of county agent from work
Imposed upon that office by the
Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration, was renewed with the
proposal that the county court
asked the county agent to resign
as secretary of the local AAA
committee. Mr. Parker stated
that he had no objection to sub
mitting his resignation, but that
he is required to attend commit
tee meetings and that therefore
no time would be saved and no
gain made In efficiency. The ar
gument then swerved to the ques
tion of the merit of the AAA pro
gram In which no decision was
reached.
A lengthy argument also de
veloped over the matter of pay
ment of bounties on predatory
animals. A request was made
that the government hunters be
instructed to avoid use of poison
In areas where residents raised
objection to the methods. Others,
however, contended that poison
must be uniformly used, or satis
factory results are unobtainable.
A large number of persons,
serving on observation posts
throughout the county, were pres
ent, presumably to urge that a
system of paid observers be es
tablished in the air raid warning
service, but a hearing was left
until the afternoon session.

(AP) Four senate "nay" men

day to turn "yea" men and fight
for retention of the civilian con
servation corps even though they
had voted against it.
This situation developed be
cause senate members of a joint
conference committee, although
personally opposing it 4 to 3,
were bound to argue for a $76,
529,000 appropriation to keep the
CCC alive. The grant was ap
proved only ,by virtue of a vote
by President Wallace yesterday,
breaking a 32-32 tie.
The house previously had voted
to liquidate the CCC by denying
the funds.
The vice president's action pre
vented defeat of an amendment
providing the money as part of
the $1,157,000,000 labor-security
appropriations bill. The senate
passed the bill as a whole a few
minutes later and Wallace ap
pointed members to settle differ
ences with the house.
