the present U. S. reserve of 600,000
tons. He said he hoped the differ
ence would be made up by the syn
thetic production program.
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-

tion, disposal, allocation or distri
bution, in or to any part of the
world, of foods, agricultural mater
ials from which foods are derived,
and equipment and non-food ma
terials ancillary to the production
of such foods."
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

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."
