Move to Build Up
Sheep Flocks Is
Sought By OPA
WASHINGTON, June 2!) (UP)
The government is considering
a new subsidy to lamb producers,
not to bring lambs to market but
tho keep them off, it was learned
today.
This may seem strange in days
of meat shortages but the pro
ducers say they can't meet costs
at present ceiling prices. As a
result they are selling off flocks
at, record rates and jeopardizing'
the future lamb supply.
Consumers might suffer a tem
porary new cut in their meat sup
ply if the subsidy wore approved.
But officials say they would pro
fit in the long run. With flocks
built up again, more lambs would
be produced for market next year
and the year after.
.The proposed subsidy would be
paid to producers for all lambs
marketed now or over a staled
period of a year or so. Officials
have not yet agreed on Ihe amount
but $1 per lut) pounds was one
figure suggested. The theory is
that if producers, through th?
subsidy, were assured af good.
prices for a substantial period,
they would not rush their flocks
to jnarket but would bo more in1
clined to hold some of them back.
.Backers of the plan argue that
if .ji'educers arc assured higher
prices they cap ufford to hold
back breeding stock to rr.'.jild
herds.
Opponents contend that the
higher prices would encourage
even greater sales, rroaucen
probably would rather take pres
ent market prices than gamble
on the future when demands to:"
meat may drop, they say. They
also maintain that lack of exper
ienced sheep herders is the real
cause of flock liquidation, not
low prices.
The matter is now before eco
nomic stabilization director Wil
liam H. Davis. The plan was de
veloped by the office of price
administration and (he war food
administration.
Germans Reveal
Hitler Threat of
War on Turkey
SOSENHEIM, Germany, June
29 (UP) Germany delivered a
secret ultimatum to Turkey early
ini 1041, threatening war if the
Turks interfered with the nazi
pecupution of Dulgaria, it can be
revealed today.
'Proof that the ultimatum was
handed to the Turks just before
the German march into Bulgaria
In, March, 1041, has been obtained
by this correspondent from ah
authentic German source.
; It points up vividly tho double
edged power diplomacy used by
the nuzis when their armies were
overrunning Europe and neutral
states lived in continual fear of
attack.
-The United Press informant
disclosed that Hitler, when he
rent his troops into Bulgaria on
Murch 2 with King Boris' pur
mission was fully prepared to
wur on turkey if the Turks made
a hostile move.
. But Hitler operated deviously.
He himself wrote honeyed letters
to Turkish government leaders
and held out glowing promises of
post-war Gorman favors if they
would remain neutral or throw
in with him.
At the same time, his foreign
minister, Joachim von Ribbrn
trop, rushed secret orders to Am
bussador Franz von Papen in An
kara telling him Unit the occupa
tion of Bulgaria was imminent
and that the Turks were to be
silenced at all costs.
Ribbentrop Hoard
Of Gold Found
LONDON, June 2!l (UP) A
London News-Chronicle dispatch
from Salzberg, Germany, said to
day that the American ihlrd divi
sion has found five tons of gold
worth $28.5011,0011 that has biv-n
hidden on orders of former Ger
man foreign minister Joachim
von Ribhentrop.
The cache was discovered be
neath the home of u former bur
gomeister and an adjoining house
at Bad Gastrin, the dispatch said.
It included gold bars and Biitish,
American and Italian coins.
Ribbentrop was captured by
British troops in Hamburg several
weeks ago.

Jap civilians as will as Jap
soldiers are targets frff propagan
da barrages fired byVvpsychologi
cal warfare teams. Here are ex
amples of. airborne leaflets drop
ped on Japan proper.
Allied propaganda, includes col
orful surrender passes dropped
behind the Jap lines. ' Leaflets
are used to convince Nipponese
troops that prisoners of war are
given good treatment. Some leaf
lets are directed, to factory work-
ers, urging them to stay away
from plants that are sure to be
targets of allied bombings.
Japs are urged to resist their
leaders, whose folly has led them
into a hopeless war. Allied lit
erature also is used to lessen the
confidence of Jap soldiers in
their commanders. Other docu
ments encourage underground
resistance in lands occupied by

Makolo (Truth) is the name of this 8 by 11 inch nowspaper. sim
ilar to Jap papers in format Its aim is to infiltrate Japan with
true news of allied victories, thus encouraging Jap defeatism,
Japs distrust stories printed in their own papers, so news has

Effective leaflet urges Jap ci
vilians to cease resistance
"Force your loaders to bring an
end lo a hopeloss war," its
messago says. "That is tho bost
prevention against destructive

New year grooting from allies
works to break down "hate

avoids propaganda. "Wo hope

when we can call each other
