Willkie Against Post
War Isolationism
CHICAGO, July 13. OJB
Wendell Willkie. 1940 republicin
presidential candidate, plans to
use hit influence In state political
contests for the defeat of repub
lican committed to programs of
post-war isolation.
At a press conference yesterday,
Willkie said he wanted "to see
men elected to office who will see
to the barriers to International
trade are broken down."
"We cannot have peace without
economic cooperation and I want I
to see men elected to office who
realize that." he said.
"I'll go into the elections or In
to the primaries in the states as I
see fit." he said. "I can say right!
now mat it I were a citiien of
Illinois I wouldn't vote for the re
election of Congressman (Stephen
A.) Day."
Willkie parried the question of
whether he would cross party lines
to support a democrat of interna
tional viewpoint against a republi
can isolationist
"I've made no decision on that,"
he answewred. "I'm a repuhlican,
and I expect to remain a republi
can. Everything I do has but one
end: to bring the party to a real
ization of problems to be faced
after the war. nH T utmty n kaln

Assembly Line for
Ships Producing
I TACOMA. July 13 Ship
building on the assembly-line
principle took another forward
step today when the navy an
nounced the big Seattle-Tacoms
shipbuilding corporation was con
structing in quantity one tanker
rnd three-fourths of a second
tanker on the same launching way
at the same time.
The ingenious building method
also calls for the tankers, of a
new secret type, to be launched
bow first as compared with the
usual method of having the ship
flide down the ways stem first
The new unorthodox system was
inaugurated to take advantage of
ah available space and to meet a
hurry-up call for the needed ships.
The other one-fourth, including
the bow, of the second tanker is
pre-fabricated; sections are as.
sembled in other parts of the ship
yard and then set in place on the
ways for final assembly after the
first tanker is launched.
As fast as one tanker Is
launched, the partly-completed
other tanker slides down the ways
a little farther and its pre-fabricated
bow is welded on, while in
the space it vacated, work is
started on three-fourths of a third
tanker.
Many days of work are saved by
this method of launching the ship
bow first because It gives work
men an opportunity to work on
the sterns of two vessels at the
tame time in the same launching
way. Far more work has to be
done on the stern of the ship, 1
where the propellors are, than on
the bow.
The size, shape and other details
of the new tankers are a closely
guarded naval secret

IN THE BRITISH FRONT
LINE WEST OF EL ALAMEIN,
July 11. (Delayed) U.R It is
the hottest day of the year out
here in the desert
German and Italian prisoners
are arriving steadily in the lines.
Two of the Italians are colonels,
one captured with his staff when
the British men overran a head
quarters of the Bersaglieri, the
Italian shock troops.
Most of the Italians have dirty
handkerchiefs around their heads
to protect them from the blister
ing sun. The Germans wear the
snuff colored peaks caps of the
Afrika Korps.
Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck has
given a jolt to Field Marshal Er
win Rommel.
For 24 hours we have had every
thing in the way of a battle pic
ture a furious tank struggle
southwest of El Alamein, in which
German tanks were destroyed.
Stuka dive bomber raids, aerial
dog fights in which Imperial and
Nazi pilots spiralled and looped
like dizzy flies, hand to hand
work by the infantry, long range
shelling and fights between tanks
and British troops armed with
sticky bombs.
(McMillan's dispatch referred
several times to the sticky bombs,
possibly of a delayed-action type
wnicn adhere to tanks.)
It all' started Thursday night.
Silently the Australians, newly
arrived, took up their positions in
the front line. At midnight they
went out to call on the Nazis.
Thev took along everything handy
in the way of sub-machine guns.
Bren guns, hand grenades, sticks
of dynamite and their bayonetted
rifles.
It was moonless. Three col
umns nicked their way through
the 2,000 yards of noman's land.
They made 1.400 yards before a
spurt of machine gun fire came
from the enemy lines. Then anti
tank guns and rifle fire began.
The Australians pushed on,
their columns 350 yards apart
They made the top of a ridge
where the enemy had a force of
the 15th German tank division,
along with a battery of two-inch
antitank guns.
The Australians let them have
their hand grenades, swept them
with machine gun fire and then
went yelling in with the bayonet
against one lot wno snowed fight.
with bayonet and trench dagger
uie Australians Killed every men
except nine they brought back,
I watched as the Australian in
fantrymen held their ground and
with their sticky bombs destroyed
one group of six tanks.
Then the Germans brought up
mobile 8V4 inch siege guns and
the desert echoed with their roar.
During the night, the infantry
not only threw back all German
attacks but extended their grip,
and this morning Imperial ad
vance columns are out again,
marauding among the German
tanks and the German 90th light
division.
