Army Procurement
Schedule Lagging
NEW YORK, Auk. 4 -( AP)-
IJ. (Jen. Brehon B. Somervell,
thief of the army service forces.
sjiicl today that the procurement
schedule for the army had fallen
behind to the extent of npproxl
mutely $300,000,000 In the last
three: months.
General .Somervell said that
May production figures were five
per cent below forecast, June
showed no Improvement, and pre
liminary figures for the first 20
days of July indicated that month
will be "decidedly worse" than
June.
"unly tworirths or our pro
gram for 1943 was accomplished
in the first half of the year and
three-fifths remains for comple
tion," he said "Monthly schedules
must be Increased throughout the
year if our procurement plan Is
to be attained."
General Somervell's disclosure
came as he and Charles K. Wil
son, executive vice chairman of
the war production board, dis
cuss present and future war pro
duction needs at a meeting of the
commerce and industry associa
tion of New York.
Many factors, General Somer
vell said in a prepared speech,
were contributing to the difficul
ty in meeting production schedul
es. He listed shifts in production
and sharp cutbacks in specific
types of munitions and the man
power shortage as outstanding
causes.
"I cannot promise that the day
of cutbacks nas passed," he said.
"War is not static. Operations in
Europe will require different
equipment from operations In
North Africa."
While the army realizes the
problems in production arising
from shortage of manpower In
various Industrial areas. Oriural
Somervell told the meeting, "You
must not look to the army to re
lease men to solve this problem."

Leaving Greece
ISTANBUL, Aug. 4. (API
Movement of Italian troops out of
Greece toward Albania has reach
ed the proportions of a general
withdrawal, reports from the Bal
kans indicated today.
Italians leaving Grcecp appar
ently were being concentrated In
Albania for evacuation across the
Adriatic to Italy. Other Italian
units reported to be leaving Mon
tenegro were heading north in
the direction of Trieste and Fi-ume.
It was believed that no troops
remain In Greece south of Co
rinth.
One unconfirmed report said
two Italian divisions withdraw

when attacked by Serbian guer
rillas. They were freed and
promised safe passage when they
agreed to leave all their arms,

possibility that Ilalian withdraw

Salem Marine Lost
Three Days of Life
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 4
(AP) An Oregon marine, Pvt.
First Class William Henry Ar
mour, 18, Salem, Is convalescing
at a naval hospital here, lost three
days of his life on Guadalcanal.
He remembers nothing from
the time he went into a battle
until he woke up in a hospital
plane three days later. He was
leund in an overturned marine
corps tank with a fractured skull,
broken arm and an eye injury.
Whether the tank struck a land
mine or was hit by shell fire Ar
mour doesn't know. All the1 Sa
lem youth, son of Mrs. Bessie Ar
mour, 1240 Chemeteka street,
could say about it was this: ,
"We made bivouac about two
miles from the beach and dis
persed our tanks over a wide area
with careful camouflage, supple
menting the natural cover of. the
jungle with out own material;.
"All I remember of the action
In which I was wounded was that
I was In a tank crew with two
oilier men. What we did or what
became of them I'll probably nev
er know.
"I know we pulled out one day,
and the next thing I remember
is regaining consciousness star
ing at the overnead in a hospital
plane flying me out."
Discussions on
Sales Tax Opened
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 (AP)
--Chairman Doughlon (D.-N. C.)
of the taxframing house ways and
means commiltteo cut short his
vacation and returned to the
capital amid renewed discussions
lor and against a sales tax as a
source of extra money for the
war effort.
Doughton came back from
North Carolina earlier than he
had expected to, anxious to check
or. the treasury's ideas for new
and higher taxes to meet Presi
dent Roosevelt's . demands for
aiijuu,uuuu,uuu more than now
is collected.
The chairman probably will
meet with Treasury Seceretary
Morgenthau. He conferred imme
diately with Colin Stamm, com
mittee tax expert.
Coinciding with his arrival
some congressional tax sources
said they thought there was too
much sentiment against a sales
tax for such a bill to become law.
The treasury itself has been
against a sales levy and its oppo
sition was assailed anew today
by Senator Byrd (D.-Va.) who
said:
"It Is entirely Inconsistent for
the treasury to urge enormous
increases in taxes without incor
porating in such a program a
sales tax, which I look upon as
a proper and just war tax."
Doughton himself has said he
would support a sales tax "only
as a last resort."
Fie declined to discuss a state
ment by Chairman George (D.
Ga.) of the senate finance com
mittee that further drastic in
creases of individual Income tax
es might destroy the nation's
"little men."

Civilians May Plan
On Holiday Dinner
'PORTLAND, Aug. 4 (API
War Food administration's tur

ald F. Matson, marketing special
ist from the quartermaster corps
market center in Seattle, said
here today.
Matson explained that the or
der applies only to mature 1943
birds. The government in pur
chasing approximately 10 million
pounds for the armed forces, will
not take breeding toms, hens, or
fryer turkeys.
Processors can continue selling
breeder and fryer turkeys now
on hand, and restaurants may
serve 1942 turkeys from their
storage lockers, he said.
Snell Proclaims
"Quinine" Week
Governor Earl Snell has desig
nated the week of August 9-15 as
"Quinine Week" and has issued
a call to all Oregonians to check
their medicine chests and, If any
(Uinlne Is found there in bulk,
pills or capsules, to contribute it
to the National Quinine Pool to
be used to combat malaria among
armed forces In the southwest
Pacific and India. The state-wide
campaign is in cooperation with
the drug stores of Oregon, head
ed by J. J. (Jack) Lynch, mana
ger of the Oregon State Pharma
ceutical and Portland Retail
Druggists associations.
"Oregonians, fortunately, have
little need for quinine as ours is
a malaria-free state, and we
should be glad to have the oppor
tunity to render this needed ser
vice to the boys who are fighting
and dying for us at the battle
fronts," said Governor Snell.
"Casualties from action are se
rious enough. Therefore, let's do
all we can to minimize the suffer
ing and deaths incident to malar
ia. Japanese have captured the
Dutch East Indies source of qui
nine but they have not captured
the medicine chests of Oregon
and the nation."
Every Oregonian Is urged to
make Immediate search and de
liver any quinine found to his
neighborhood druggist. On Au
gust 16 the state police, under di
rection of Supt. Charles P. Pray,
will call on every drug store In
the state to collect the donated
quinine for shipment to the Na
tional Quinine Pool in Washing
ton, D. C. An exception will be j
luuiuiuiiiiui cuumy, wiiuie nil
collection will be made from the
stores by Multnomah County
Chapter, Red Cross Motor corps.
Drug stores of Oregon have al
ready contributed 564,762 grains i
of quinine from their own stocks
in 190 stores. Other stores will
make contributions during the
drive.
Druggists of the nation have
given 110,000 ounces, nearly 4
tons, and contributions are still
rolling in. The amount on hand
is equivalent of some 9,600,000
five-grain doses and would have
a market value of about $88,500
if it could be bought, but with the
Dutch East Indies in the hands
of the Japs and our source of sup
ply cut off. the quinine which has
been collected Is priceless and Ir-replacable.
Civilians to Get
More Wool Goods
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 ( AP)
Barring ' unforeseen military
demands, civilians can expect in
creased quantities of wool fab
rics, but with some of the pre
war variety missing.
Wool manufacturers, "the war
production board (WPB) report
ed today,' are sacrificing novelty
to step up production of staple
items. It's part of the WPB aim
to make clothes rationing unnec
essary. Apparel wool output for civil
ians now running at an annual
rate of 240,000,000 yards, about
the same as last year. To in
crease this, manufacturers are
reducing the variety of colors
and counts of their yarns. This
results in larger lots of one m!t
terial. fj
Raw wool, no longer on the
critical list, is described as in suf-1,
ficient supply to meet all mili
tary and civilian demands, and
it is chiefly a question of making
the wool into fabrics. The gov
ernment has a stockpile of 700,
000,000 pounds of wool. This is a
safeguard in the event war con
ditions should cut off foreign imports.
