Commerce Secretary Jones said the RFC will finance the construc tion of a 24 -inch pipeline from Longview, Texas, to Salem, Illinois, at an estimated cost of 35 million dollars. The pipeline will be com pleted December 1 and will have a capacity of 300,000 barrels a day. It will require 125,000 tons of steel, the WPB said, but will not interfere with steel deliveries for Army, Navv and Maritime Commission needs. Mr. Jones said necessary personnel to construct and operate the line will be furnished by the industry. Civilian Supply Te WPB limited the use of steel in the manufacture of baby carriages and prohibited the use of any other metal, except gold and silver, in such manufacture. The Board plac ed similar restrictions on production of liturgical articles such as cruci fixes, chalices and candlesticks. De liveries of welding rods and elec trodes were restricted to orders with high preference ratings, or to spe cified Government agencies and ac credited schools of welding. The Board prohibited use of any but low-alloy steels in manufacture of chisels, hammers, punches and othe. tools, and prohibited, after Septem ber 1, production of mattresses or pads containing irons or steel. Office of War Information Established President Roosevelt created an Office of War Information, headed by Elmer Davis, writer and radio commentator, who was given auth ority to direct all the war informa tion functions of the government. The new agency will consolidate the functions and duties of the Office of Facts and Figures, the Office of Government Reports, the Foreign Information Service of the Office of the Coordinator of Information, and certain activities of the Division of Information in the Office for Emer gency Management. Foreign Relations The White House announced the President and Russian Foreign Com missar Molotov reaced "full under standing with regard to the urgent task of opening a second European front in 1942," at discussions held in Washington from May 29 to June 4. In addition, the President and Mr. Molotov discussed measures for speeding U. S. war aid to the Sovient Union and the fundamental prob lems of postwar cooperation to safe guard "peace and security to th freedom loving peoples. Both sides state with satisfaction the unity of their views on all these questions," the announcement said. The State Department reported the U. S. and the Soviet Union have signed lend lease agreement similar to those between the U. S. and Britain and China. The President announced the U. 5. and Britain have established a combined Production and Resources Board to bring together "the pro duction programs of the United States and the United Kingdom into a single integrated program, ad justed to the strategic requirements of the war . , . and to all relevant production factors." Mr. Roosevelt also announced this country and Britain have established a combined Food Board to investigate and for mulate plans on any question, com mon to both countries, "relating to the supply, production, transporta- f J?

The Armed Forcesi The Senate completed congres sional action on legislation to raise the base pay of members of the armed forces to $50 a month, retro active to June 1. The House passed and returned to the Senate a bill authorizing a basic allowance of $50 a month for dependents of members of the armed forces, $28 to be paid by the Government and $22 to be withheld from pay. The War De partment reported arrangements have been completed for voluntarj transfer to U. S. armed forces of Americans serving with Canadian armed forces. The President asked Congress to appropriate $40 billion for the fiscal 1943 Army Supply Bill, including approximately $11 billion for the Air Forces, $10 billion for Ordnance, $7 billion for Quartermaster and Trans portation services, $4 billion for Ar my pay, $3 billion for the Signal Corps, and $3 billion for the Corps of Engineers. The Senate passed and returned to the House an Appro priation bill providing $G50 million in cash and $2 billion in contract authorizations for the Navy Depart ment. The House passed and return ed, to the Senate a bill authorizing the Navy to acquire a total of 200 lighter-than-air craft, an increase from 72 specified in the Senate leg islation. The War Department announced that previous flying experience has been eliminated as a necessary qual ification for glider pilot candidates. Applicants must be between 18 and 36. Those without prior flying ex perience will receive five weeks in struction in light power-driven air planes. The Department said appli cants for WAAC commissions will not be accepted if they have persons who are dependent on their pay. The War Front The Navy announced the Japan ese "have made landings on a small scale on Attu Island, at the extreme tip of the Aleutian Archipelago and . . . Japanese ships have been report ed in the Harbor of Kiska in the Rat Group." Continuing Army and Navy aircraft attacks have forced the enemy to retire from the pop ulated regions of the Islands, the Navy said. These U. S. attacks are continuing, despite unfavorable wea ther conditions. The War Depart ment announced arrival of addition al units of the U. S. Army, including Negro troops, in the British Isles. Re sults of the Coral Sea Battle show ed U. S. Naval Task forces and land based bombers sank one enemy air craft carrier, three heavy cruisers, one light cruiser, two destroyers, several transports and small vessels; severely damaged and probably sank a cruiser and a destroyer; seriously damaged 20 additional vessels and Your Dime's In The Army Courtesy Richard Yardley and Baltimore Sun. MRS. AMERICA MEETS THE WAR (Editor's Note: War touches ev ery home and every citizen. This column, based on official govern ment information and prepared by the Office For Emergency Manage ment, shows how the war will affect Mrs. America and her home.) War is war, but there is one part of the carriage trade that expects to carry on. The babies of America will continue to have carriages, strollers and walkers that is, as long as the more critical materials are not used and only a minimum amount of iron and steel goes into the conveyances. In other words, there should be all wood models except for steel axles and fittings for Mrs. America's junior. From August first on, iron, steel, gold and silver are the only metals which may be used. But here is an idea of the restriction placed on the use of iron and steel for these nursery world products. During an ordinary year the baby carriage industry us ed 14,000 tons of steel. After the WPB order goes into effect, the same number of articles will be put out with only 3,000 tons of steel. Mrs. America, roll up your sleeves and rally to the home front's cur rent battle cry the rubber salvage campaign. Patriotic housecleaning means routing out every ounce of rubber scrap from the cellar to the attic of your home. Remember no bit of rubber is too small, too worn or too old for you to take to your neighborhood filling station for the rubber salvage collection. You will receive a penny a pound of reclaim able rubber. Look around your kit chen for old rubber gloves, aprons, sink stoppers or preserve jar rings. Any old shower caps, soap dishes, drain plugs, rubber sponges, hot water bottles or ice bags today? Even the tiny rubber bulbs from droppers in the medicine chest are worth reclaiming. And rubber hair curlers, girdles and combs are on the list. Even the nursery can contri bute baby pants, nipples, toothing rings and toys. The old oaken bucket may be more than the title of an old tune you've heard. Seems there has been some encouragement given to the return of the wooden pail and tub in place of metal articles. Pails or tubs that contain metal only in hoops, bails, ears and handles not exceeding 15 percent of the article's shot down more than 100 enemy planes. U. S. losses were the aircraft carrier Lexington, the destroyer Sims and the tanker Neosho. In the battle of Midway Island two of the largest enemy aircraft carriers were sunk, two other medium sized car riers were sunk and at least 250 Japanese planes were destroyed, the Navy said. Now! weight are not to be restricted. However, those of all metal aren't so favored. The increased idleness ahead for the can opener means you'll be tea ching your family to rely upon fresh vegetables and fruits rattier than on food from cans. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables when they are in season saves canned, dried and preserved products for use when fresh foods are not so easily available. Also, there are the points of saving money by buying fruits and vegetables when they're cheapest and helping cut down on the waste of these products. Most important is the fact that you'll be helping save all possible for the war. The tin content in one can is en ough to provide the tin required for two Army compasses. Incidentally on the subject of fresh fruits and vegetables, the use of locally grown products will cut down on the loads on railways and truck systems. Military needs for wool are pro jecting cotton into such arHimport ant position that you and your fam ily probably will be wearing clothes of this United States grown pro duct more than you did before the war. The Army itself is trying to conserve wool, and as a result the Quartermaster Corps has developed cotton comforters to replace wool blankets for the barracks in the United States. Even the Army's winter underwear will have more cotton yes, long underwear con taining 50 and 75 percent cotton. Prepare for streamlined home decoration straight -hanging tailor ed curtains minus ruffles and slip covers without pleated aprons to conserve yardage needed for mil itary purposes. The OPA Consum er Division declares that Mrs. Am erica can save millions of yards of fabric a year by doing away with frills and furbelows. The Consumer Division also offers these tips on making curtains and slip covers last. Wash or clean curtains and slip covers before they get too dirty. Naturally, it is easier on the textiles if they are not so soiled that harsh cleaning methods must be used. Wash with a neutral soap in luke warm water, and use a warm iron not a hot one for pressing. Be sure that the material is actually wash able before applying soap and wa ter. Innerspring mattresses are on the list of articles that you may expect to do without one of these days. Af ter September first, mattresses or pads containing iron or steel will not be made. This means that 43,000 tons of high carbon wire will be re routed into war channels. Mattresses or pads filled with cotton, felt or hair can still be made. A G-T want ad will do wonders if you have anything to sell, trade or exchange. Results every time. ANGLINS REMEMBER FRIENDS Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Anglin sent regards to all old Morrow county friends in a letter received this week. They write: "Almost a year has lap sed since we turned our back on Heppner but we have not forgotten all the dear people there and only still wish them all health, happiness and God-speed. We have not visit ed Heppner since we left, not be cause we did not wish to, but be cause we are not the possessors of a car to transport us, having dis posed of our car last September. We have been enjoying the news through the pages of the Gazette Times and also quite recently en joyed a very nice visit from the Skuzeski family. We are very busy putting in 44 hours a week in an independent grocery store one block from home, looking after our prop erty which consists of two lots and four buildings with lots of grass and flowers, and our Sundays and eve nings are put in at the Union Front St. mission where we are assistant to the superintendent, playing the piano some, doing some preaching and singing special songs, and be sides this we are a member of the Yakima camp of the Gideons, an organization of Christian business men, a national organization now placing New Testaments in the hands of all the armed forces of the United States. We are really kept very busy as can be sure, but are greatly enjoying ourselves in the work of the mission and the Gideon organization. We join in sending our regards to each and every one and especially to the many who have lost their dear ones since we left there."
