Martin Pledges Cooperation for Cargo Planes Portland, Ore.. July 20 ffl Henry J. Kaiser said today that he and the Andrew J. Higgins Industries, New Orleans, would co-operate in endeavoring to push plans for shipyard con struction of flying boats of the Glenn L. Martin Mars type. Kaiser said the Higgins com pany would fit well into his pro posal here yesterday that ship yards build cargo-carrying air craft. In Baltimore, Glenn L. Mar tin, Martin company president, said "We are anxious to make every possible contribution lo the rapid development of a vital air cargo transport fleet," and that his company already had a design for a 250,000-pound air transport plane larger than the Mars of 140,000 pounds. "If the government wishes us to follow the suggestion of Mr. Kaiser and license the shipbuild ing companies lo help manufac ture the Mars type of air vessel we shall be glad to do so and to extend our full co-operation. "It must be left to the judg ment of the government au thorities which organizations will be called upon to aid in building up the important air cargo service. Many things must be determined before the program can be launched. "We are extremely pleased with the performance of the Mars. The type is ready immedi ately to be placed in production cither as war vessels or cargo ships and we are awaiting the government's dicision. "However, the Glenn L. Mar tin company already have a de sign for a much larger air ves- 1 the 250,000 pound trans port and ships of even larger size are possible now. Such ves sels as the Mars and the larger types can easily assume the chief burden' of ocean transport because of their high speed and greater frequency of movement. Since we are losing surface ships much faster than we can build them because of enemy submar ine activities, the air cargo pro gram is of extreme importance at this time." E. A. Baker, chief of a fire protection division in the city of London, who is to speak and give a demonstration at the high school auditorium tonight, was a caller this afternoon at the of fice of Jack Hayes, state director of the protective division of ci vilian defense. He was accom panied by another member of his group that is making a tour of the United States. Court Circuit Court Affidavit and petition filed by Al thea M'.

Bumper Crop Being Harvested Chicago, July 20 (U.R) Amer ica was harvesting a bumper crop today that assured second hcloings of meat, bread, potatoes and all the trimmings for thr United Nations In the coming war year. Reports from all parts of the nation indicate record harvests of wheat, corn, oats and fruits. Farmers in some sections strug gled for temporary storage space for crops that were setting 10- year and even all-time highs. Labor shortage may cause some crop loss in certain areas. a survey showed, but in most sections an ample labor supply was assured. While collar work ers have deserted desks in some stales to work in the harvest fields. Elevators and warehouses in the midwest and southwest have swollen to bursting with wheat while the nation still has a car ryover supply of 630,000,000 bushels. One Kansas farmer used his parlor to store his wheat and moved his furniture out into the yard. A hotel was used as an elevator in Texas. The department of agriculture estimated 2,627,823,00 bushels of corn would be harvested in 1942, a slight drop from last year s crop, but well above the 10-years' average.

West Salem, running through rea ngnt, Red Army Wins New Successes At Voronezh (Continued from page 1) "In another sector our troops, under pressure of numerically superior forces, withdrew to new positions." At Voronezh, however, the Russian communique said "our troops are waging stubborn bat tles with the enemy, who are now on the defensive." The red army reported killing 1,500 Germans in street fighting for one suburban town, and said it recaptured another "import ant inhabited locality," and drove the Germans from one of their principal bridgeheads across the Don. Counter Offensive The increasing show of Rus sian power at Voronezh, cou pled with German reports of large red army troop concentra tions in that area, indicated that a strong soviet counter offensive against the extended flank of the German Don valley drive might be in the making. The German high command, still clinging to its so-far unsub stantiated claim to the capture of Voronezh 13 days ago, acknowl edged that the Russians were counter-attacking on that flank but said the red army's "at tempts to recapture" the city were repulsed. The Berlin announcement said large scale operations on the southern flank of the Don bend front were resumed after heavy rainfalls, with the Germans ad vancing "in a southerly and easterly direction. Hubbs Granted Absence Leave County Engineer N. C. Hubbs was today granted leave of ab sence by the county court for 90 days, during which time he will be in the government employ in connection with construction of the Salem airport. His work at the airport will be in connection with construction of roads, sew ers and the water system. Mr. Hubbs will, during the period, be in part time employ of the county and at the end of each month will sign vouchers and check county road jobs. Negotiations are under way between the federal government and the city of Salem for water connections at the airport with the city system. At the city council meeting tonight will appear a resolution authorizing a permanent sewer connection at the airport with out expense to the city and ob ligating the government to pay such sewer rental assessments as may be levied by the city from timo to time. Continuation of Sharp Hero from page 1 Sharp, and did not'disclosc when the battle occurred. Captain Sharp first became headline news when, on June 4, he led a flight of bombers in a daylight raid on enemy ship ping at Rangoon, which resulted in damage to port installations and shipping and the destruction of two Japanese fighter planes, Later developments indicated that after this raid Captain Sharp with his bomber and crew became lost behind the enemy lines. On June 20 came a dis patch from an allied airbase in India, saying word had come from a tiny military outpost on the Indo-Burmese frontier that Captain Sharp and others of his crew, who had been lost behind the enemy lines, were safe. Their flying fortress, evident ly in the June 4 raid, had braved anti-aircraft fire and a dozen Zero fighters In the Rangoon raid. The message from the out post, relayed by British authori ties, said that Captain Sharp and his co-pilot, Second Lieutenant Herbert E. Wundcrlich of Gar den City, N. Y., had made a forc ed landing of their bullet-pierced craft while the remainder of the crew parachuted. They were In danger from Japanese river and foothills pa trols, but succeeded In evading them. It was believed that Captain Sharp destroyed the bomber after the forced landing to keep it from falling into the hands of the Japanese. Rudolf Haybrook, member of the auxiliary fire fighting or ganization of London, who was injured during the bombing of that cily, will speak at the Kl wanis club luncheon Tuesday noon, bringing first-hand infor mation as to bombing by the nazis. At present he is a member of the British mission to the United Slates. Hamilton Says City Would Save Little The greatest saving possible under the proposal of the Salem Electric Bonneville distributing agency, a cooperative concern listing 62 Salem customers and having an assessed valuation ot $1,815 on the Marion county tax rolls for a share in the city's! lhe Portland General Electric lighting business would be the $5 or $6 monthly reduction in the cost o( power for the city hall, according lo W. M. Hamil ton, district manager here for House Votes $120 Million For Henderson Washington, July 20 , W) The house agreed today to pro vide $120,000,000 for the office of price administration as it adopted a conference commit tee's recommendations to settle differences with the senate in a $1,858,939,000 deficiency appro priations bill. The OPA allotment amounted lo $45,000,000 more than the house had voted originally but $5,000,000 less than voted by the senate, $41,000,000 less than the figure approved by the budget bureau, and $75,000,000 less than the total amount sought by Leon Henderson, price adminis trator. Approval - of the conference committee's report came on a standing vole of 96 lo 5. The measure now goes back lo the senate, where quick approval of the conference committee changes is expected. The action came after Rep. Taber (R., N.Y.) declared that Henderson, "in his estimates for money, called for absolutely ridiculous set-ups. He has an absolutely incompetent force, and he, himself, I believe, is totally incompetent. Ho believes in the crack-down policy of the NRA,' rather than an appeal for patriotic cooperation." Taber's remarks drew a quick expression of confidence in Hen derson's administration from Rep. Celler (D., N.Y.). Sewer System For Airport Appearing in lhe city council tonight will be a resolution giv ing to the Salem airport com mand base authority for perm anent connection with the Salem sewer system. A condition of the authorization will be that there shall be no expense to the cily and that the federal govern ment shall pay such sewer rent als as may from time to. time be assessed by the city. Another resolution will auth orize the investment of $50,000 of the city's airport bond fund in war bonds. The $50,000 is part of the $75,000 issue that was authorized for construction ot an administration building al the municipal airport, a project that was dropped for the dura lion of the war when the gov ernment took over the airport. Also by resolution the pur chase of $150,000 in war risk insurance on city-owned build ings will be submitted for auth orization. Cities Lacking in Fire Watchers San Francisco, July 20 (U.R) Cities of the western slates face a "grave danger" due to lack ot adequate numbers of trained fire watchers, James C. Shep pard, director of the ninth re gion of the office of civilian defense, said today. In an attack on defense coun cils for their asserted failure to train large numbers of fire watchers, Shcppard urged im mediate stimulation ot an enlist ment and training program. Aiken Appointed District Elder Portland, July 20 lPi The Rev. E. F. Aiken was appointed cider of the Salem and Rogue river districts Saturday at the concluding session ot the annual slate conference ot the Free Methodist church. Pastoral appointments: J. R. Stewart, Salem; V. M. Abbott, Woodburn; J. H. Poet, Falls City; C. B. Slarkey, Al bany; Valeria Cleveland, Grants Pass: Tillman Houser. Roseburg; W. H. McCormick, Klamath Falls. Mrs. S. Toyccn loft this week for a short visit in Klamath Falls with her son and daughlcr-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Toyccn. Journal Want Ads Pay company. io saving is claimed and none would be possible on the power for the limited number of street lights the co-op is in a position to serve from its three-mile dis tributing system, Hamilton said, adding that the possible savings on cily hull service would be more than offset by the threat of prolonged service disruption. "While the PGE has four heavy transmission lines supply ing Salem with power and also maintains a steam stand-by plant for such an emergency as might see all four of those lines disrupted, the Salem Electric has but one transmission line and no stand-by plant," Hamil ton pointed out in explaining what might happen in case of a silver thaw or olhcr disruption. He also declared that the dif ference in rate schedules of lhe co-op and the PGE for cily hall service is 9 M per cent and not the 11 per cent claimed by H. B. Read, manager of the co-op in his letter to the council. In reply to Read's statement that the cooperative has been responsible for reductions in PGE rates aggregating $100,000 a year for its Salem customers, Hamilton declared that 93 per cent of the reductions were plac ed in effect before (he Salem Electric entered the local field and were purely voluntary by the company. The statement by Read that the former rate of the PGE for street lighting service was 4 cents per kilowatt hour as against the present average rate of 1 cent per k.w.h, is deliberate ly misleading, Hamilton charg ed. Prior lo 1940 street light service was charge on a flat rate basis at so much per lamp. "The price per lamp," he said, "not only included the required elec tricity but also the cost of all labor and materials required for lamp and globe renewals, main tenance of fixtures, special street lighting circuits, poles, etc., and other operating and maintenance expense. Under the present contract the elec tricily is paid for separately at an average rale ot 1 cent per k.w.h. on a metered basis and the other charges are paid for sep arately on a cost basis." U-Boafs 5ink 3 More Ships (Rt thft Associated Prusl Three more torpedo-sinkings, two of them United States ves sels, were announced by the navy today (Monday), boosting lo 388 the unofficial Associated Press tabulation ot United Na tions' and neutral merchant ship losses In the western Atlantic since Pearl Harbor. In addition dispatches from a Yucatan port published In Mex ico City told of the sinking in lhe Caribbean July 12 of the Panamanian freighter Tachira, with a loss ot five ot the 37 crew members. This sinking was not included in the tabulation pend ing further check. A medium-sized United Slates merchantman went down off the northern coast of South America and a small American ship was torpedoed In the Atlantic sever al hundred miles oft the cast coast, survivors from both hav ing been landed at east coast porls. . A medium-sized Swedish mer chant ship was torpedoed 800 miles from the northern coast of South America. The ship and lifeboats were shelled hut not one of the 42-man crew was lost. List Jap Prisoners From Wake Island Washington, July 20 (U.fil The war department made public to day the names of 27 American sailors and marines captured al Wake island and now held pris oners at Zontsuji, Shikoku Is land, Japan. The list includes one officer and 14 enlisted men of the ma rine corps and three officers and nine enlisted men ot the navy, bringing the tolal number of Americans fighting men and civilians known definitely to he In the hands of the Japanese to 2,005.

It was com piled by the International Red Cross, Mitt oncoon '!; THompson OPTOmCTRIST Indian Maid Plays Hoax in Hollywood Hollywood, July 20 (U.R)HoI lywood, the town of frequent hoaxing, admitted it had been hoaxed in first class style today when olive-skinned Burnu Ac quanetta publicized as "Vene zuela's gift to movies" revealed she was a pure-blooded Ameri can Indian who had never been outside the United Slates. The raven-haired, 21-year-old actress admitted she had pulled the wool over the public's eyes not only at the film capitol but also at Now York, where she was a popular Powers model, featured as lhe "typical Latin American girl." Her deception, successful for more than four years, was ex posed when she applied for membership to the Screen Actors' Guild. Since the war the guild has ruled that native born citizens must supply proof ot birth and that foreign-born players must submit passports. Miss Acquanelta's "Latin com plexion" showed rosy tints around the cheekbones when of ficials of the Actors' Guild asked for her Venezuelan passport simply as a matter of form." But she braced herself, said she didn't have a passport and didn't need one because she was a gen uine American. Miss Acquanclla said she was a member ot the Araphoe Indian tribe and" had been born near Ozone, Wyo. "I chose lhe Latin American background because it was ex otic and fitted my type," the actress said, "but now that my little trick has been exposed I see no reason to continue the de ception or alibi. As a matter ot fact, I'm proud of being a full blooded Indian." Robert Noble Gets 5 Years Los Angeles, July 20 (U.R) Robert Noble, head of the Friends of Progress, isolationist organization, who was convicted on sedition and conspiracy charges July 11, today was sent ence to five years in federal prison. Ellis O. Jones, his associated loader and organizer of the Na tional Copperheads, was sent enced to four years on identical charges. The prison will be designated later by the United States attorney general. Federal Judge Ralph E. Jen ney sentenced the two men atter denying their pica for probation. He described their offense as "most serious.' Noble and Jones were charged with making statements at pub lic meetings of the Friends of Progress designed to hamper the war effort. Noble was accused of describing the war as "pho ney" and saying that "General MacArthur's stand In the Philip pines Is not bravery but damned foolishness."
