Normandv Victory Hastens War End, Churchill States WITH TWR FTPHTH APMY Vitar FI.ORFVCE. An". 21 (AP) Prime Minister Churchill told a brlfade of Canadian tank men vesterdav that the ercnt bat tle rafin" in Normandv promises to bring the end of the war much nearer. "I cannot predict an earlv end I" "L- ".!; !?.utJ X L"' - nn.; (ik '"lint CIMI' Ilti J(MMfl thnn wn hnve nllnworl mircnluoc to hope," declared the prime min-! Ister as he faced a great circle nt fighting men backed bv their Sherman tanks not far from the front lines. "The enemy is still active and strong,", he said, "and the Ger man armv still flphts with the relics of Its old efficiency. But behind the lines, weakness and di vision are spreading and every where, there are signs of inter nal decay and dull apathy over taking the weak. "The dissension Is such that when a general goe3 to Berlin, he doesn't know whether he Is to be promoted or hanged. "If the battle now procedeing in northern France turns out to be'the blegest of the whole war," he said, "one of the great hopes Is that conclusion of our toil may be much nearer." Churchill personally shot a big American gun at two German cannon positions north of Pisa. Ita, jt disc,ospd today. . , J After he pulled the lanvard. the shell fell 200 yards short of the target. A gunnery officer corrected the elevation and two rounds later, both enemy guns were destroyed. An artillery spotter flying overhead reported fires and explosions at both gun pits. Churchill's very personal par ticipation in the war occurred during a recent visit to the Fifth army front. BEAR EQUIPMENT SAVES ARMY TIRES and EQUIPMENT PROTECT YOUR CAR WITH THIS SAME TYPE OF EQUIPMENT Sergeant Johnson and his crew have thus far worked on upwards of 2500 vehicles of every type, Including trailers and semi-trailers. They have straightened bends in frames and axles, axle housings and sprung beds; alined wheels to adjust the caster, camber, and the king-pin angle to eliminate shimmy, hard steering, wander and excessive wear of tires. Mechanical troubles have, been averted by the alinement of transfer cases, transfer bearing and universal joints. This work has been done on vehicles used In the Tunisian Campaign as well as the Sicilian and Italian Campaigns. Before the Invasions of Slo"" nrl Italv. nil vehicles needlnn art lint ments came Into the shops to have their facos l'ft after the Tunisian experiences. Prenarlnq the 5th and 7th army equipment for the rigors of the campaigns to come was an Important Job. The men working on the eaulnment have received commendations and praise from many of the combat units In the theater for the quality of the work done. The alinement workers feel that their Job using Bear equipment Is of direct Importance to the actual fightlnq. They know that their attachment to the dounhboys at the front Is close because of the necessity for motor l2ed equipment In the support of combat operations. With battle equipment In tip-top shape, the fighting man's efficiency Is directly affected and the results are seen In victories won. Sergeant Johnson says, "The rubber we have saved on the M-8 armored cars alone with this Bear equipment has meant a lot to the war effort. Many cars came Into the shops with the rubber worn smooth because of faulty alinement after having traveled only 150 to 200 miles. When we had finished with them, they were riding with normal wear, were easier to handle and were a more efficient war machine." Technician 4th Grade Anthony Costa ofDos Palos, California, who works with Sergeant John son, can't think of any Improvements for the equipment itself. He finds it "very good," but he feels, "If we could get the chassis alinement Installed in a pit, it would make It much easier for us because of the trucks that come In for alinement while their motors are being overhauled. This means we have to manhandle them onto the ramp, no easy Job with huge prime movers and aircraft semi-trailers." , The men worklnq with the equipment have performed a diversity of work by this time and feel that they could do Just about any Job of alining, short of that on a tank. Their nearest ap proach to this Is the half-track, scout car and armored car. But they wouldn't be surprised at anything they might receive to aline. Often, In the course of their work with Bear chassis alinement equipment, they find wheels out of balance, and here another piece of Bear equipment Is called Into play, namely, the Bear Precision Dy namlo Balancer. Determining the section of the wheel that needs compensation, weights are added until the wheel regains Its normal balance and performance. STEPHENS AUTO CO.
