Return to Homes
HALIFAX, July 20 (UP) Eva
cuees returned to their explosion
rocked home today a3 naval fire
fighters battled flames at the
Burnside naval arsenal in the
wake of a series of explosions
which killed one person and in
jured 17.
Military authorities said fires
still burning at the 600-acre ar
senal seven miles from here were
under control and the possibility
of further blasts was "small and
remote."
Explosions rocked the city, for
18 hours Wednesday night and
yesterday as tons of explosives
were blasted into the sky. The
main dump, containing hundreds
of thousands of , tons . of T.N.T.
and other ammunition, was
spared. The fire started aboard
a barge tied up at the arsenal
pier.
Naval spokesmen said the one
dead was a naval sentry on duty
when the first powder blew up
at 6:45 p.m. Wednesday.

Reaches Low Level
NEW YORK, July 2d (UP)
Trading in Stocks today fell off
to the lightest level in more than
three months and prices moved
irregularly.
Uncertainties over war pro
gress, the long week-end, and a
generally cautious attitude on the
part of traders contributed to the
market lethagy. The usual week
end evenirig-up operations and
lack of demand brought the ir
regularity. . - ,
Individual . stocks had small

Admiral Would Keep
U-S. Naval Power
SAN FRAN CISCO, July 20
(UP) The United States should
retain its balance of sea power
until it is certain wars arc a thing
of the past, and then "five years
longer, just, to make sure," Rear
Adm. Glenn B. Davis, deputy
commander and chief of staff of
the western sea frontier, declared
today.
Speaking before the common
wealth club of California, Davis
asserted the United States has be
come primarily responsible for
maintaining peace on the oceans
of the world.
Criticising the public feeling
which permitted scrapping of our
navy rifter world war I, Davis
said, ''we must never again let
ourselves come so cloro to dis
aster, when we possess the means
to make disaster a remote pos
sibility. 12 Rubber Plant
Projects Dropped
WASHINGTON, July 20 (UP.)
The war production board's
rubber bureau today cancelled 12
plant expansion projects In its
program for large truck tires and
announced partial cutback or
complete elimination of 25 addi
tional expansions In the program
for smaller truck tires.
Five projects for tires to which
tank treads are attached also
were cancelled.
The 12 large truck tire plants
would have cost $86,000,000 if
they had been completed. Thp
reductions announced today, plus
cancellation of 21 truck-tire tube
plont expansions announced Itist
week bring total cancellations by
the bureau to $110,000,000.
The cancellations were made
possible by revision of military
requirements since the end of the
war in Europe. W. James Scars,
deputy director of the rubber
bureau, said the cost of projects
which now will be completed
would be only $22,000,000 instead
of $132,000,000.

Lt. Col. Charles H. Older, lead
ing American ace in the China
theater; today said he expects the
Japarfcse to abandon south China
and hold either the Yangtze or

lied supplies reach China.
Colonel Older, 27, . who just re
