One of the . largest German centers around Lake Constance is Friedrichshafen, center of great Zeppelin works, airplane engines and submarine parts factories. Der Bund of Bern reported .that powerful detonations from bombs early, this: morning .resounded across the lake and that flames soon shot up and spread rapidly. The German broadcasts, re corded by the Associated Press, described the raids in the north as "disturbance attacks." Armament City Wiped Out The British struck a devastat ing blow at the great French munitions works at Le Creusot Saturday night which was said by the Paris radio- to have left the sprawling Schneider armaments works "nothing but a mountain of debris" with at least 250 dead and halt the 15,000 . population of the town homeless. The Swiss telegraph agency re ported LeCreusot was almost en tirely destroyed. Successive waves of allied bombers dropped incen diaries and explosives for 40 min ues producing "horrible specta cles," the agency said. No sector 'of the town was spared, not a house was left standing and all areas of thetity still are smok ing, the Swiss report said. The Bern radio said that some bombs fell in the Swiss canton of Thurgau during the night and that three persons were killed and one was injured in Kucmmer- shaasen. Convoy Beats U Boats Land-based bombers, escort car rier planes and warships, team ed in the allied effort to clear the Atlantic of Hitler's submarines, are credited officially with beat ing off "one of the fiercest and most sustained offensives ever mounted" against convoys in a five-day battle last month. , British authorities announced last night that from two to five of the submarines were destroy ed and that the air and surface screen was so effective only three per cent of the convoy vessels were even molested attacked, damaged or sunk. ' "Two U-boats were destroyed, three probably were destroyed and others may have been dam aged," said a communique issued jointly by the admiralty and air ministry. The Daily Express naval report er, W. A. Crumley, said that about 50 U-boats had been de stroyed in the last two months, bringing the total destroyed since the beginning of the war to 250. Communist Victor in Supreme Court Ruling (Continued from page 1) the government's spokesman, said the naturalization act required that an alien who obtained citizen ship be "attached to the princi ples of the constitution" and be "well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States." He added that the evidence es tablished that in 1927 the com munist party and Schneiderman "believed . in, advocated, a n d taught the overthrow of this gov ernment by force and violence." Wiilkle said Schneiderman had given "unimpeached testimony" that he had never believed in or advocated the use of force or violence or disbelieved in organi zed government. He added that government -attorneys admitted that the constitution of the com munist party of America, adopt ed in 1938, did not advocate force or violence. The federal district court at San FrartSsco held ira' Schnei derman had obtained ei'.Uonshlp illegally because he failed to re veal that during a five-year pro bationary period he belonged to an organization advocating vio lent overthrow of tlw fnited States government. . In upholding the cancellation, the federal circuit court at San Francisco said: . "The trial court believed that appellant's (Schneiderman) testi mony as to his support of our constitution and allegiance to this country was incredible in view of his admission that he fully be lieved in and supported the prin ciples of the communist party, and in view of the principles of such party. He cannot say that the trial court's conclusions ara clearly erroneous In view of the substantial evidence in the record before us."

"Buy Where You Own the Profits" DOUGLAS COUNTY Farm Bureau Co-Operative Exchange ROSEBURG, OREGON T jj! i:is j:,2e nm lie iitsiclc story of lOO octane cjctsoline 1 In 1937, 100 octane aviation ttas oline was just emerninK from the oil company laboratories. Production was hardly (treat enough to k?ep one squadron of tifihter planes in combat, and it cost 1 to make each gallon. It tdifs i tank car lo fill a Fortmx 2 Today,the American otl com panics arc turmnR out enough 100 octane to fuel the greatest Air Force in the World. They are shipping mil lionsofttrfifiottdbarrelstoourAllies. And they have cut production costs to an average of 12 J per gallon. 3 The (nstd story of this accom plishment is a typL-1 example of American Free Enterprise at work. For 100 octane was perfected by our oil companies in their own laborato ries beore uv entered the war with out one cent of government subsidy. 4. This was largely the result of just one peacetime influence-corn petition. You don't decide to make 100 octane one morning and start pro ducing it the next. You have to learn how over a period of years. Back in 1920. the best gasoline our oil com panies could make was 52 octane.

Why had they made such progress ? Not be cause they expected a war all those years, but because each company kept struggling to put out a better product than others and get more customers 6. If the oil business had been controlled by one company, or by the government, this wouldn't have hap pened. For there's not much incentive to go after more customers when you already hair them all 7 But many companies, comfit iwwith each other for your business, forced improvements. And forced them at a much greater rate of speed than any monopoly (private or gov ernmental) has ever managed on its own initiative. That's the inside story of 100 octane. 8. And it's the story of most other war production as well. Years of peacetime competition under Ameri can Free Enterprise gave us the "know . how," the plants and the mass pro duction techniques to do the greatest job ever tackled by any nation.
