Huge Army Maneuvers
SEATTLE, June 21 (API
Large scale maneuvers will be
conducted by about 75,000 men
during September and October
in a 10,000 square mile areu' of
central Oregon, army authorities
announced over the weekend.
They said the maneuver area
would include parts of Deschutes,
Harney, Lake, Klamath and
Crook counties and parts of De
schutes, Fremont and Oehoeo na
tional forests.
Preliminary maneuvers already
are underway, the officers said,
and will continue until the large
scale operation starts in the fall.

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

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."

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.

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.

5. But by 1930. they had hit 71;
by 1937 they were shooting for 100.
and by 1939. for 100 plus. 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.
