Program Will Share New
Appropriation, Says Early
Washington, July 0. VP)
President Roosevelt will ask
congress this week for an addi
tional appropriation for both de
fense and lend-lease operations.
Some administrations said the
figure would equal the original
$7,000,000,000 lend-lease bill.
Without announcing the ex
act sum, Stephen T. Early, White
House press secretary, told re
porters that the supplemental
estimates woul' be for the army.
navy, and maritime commission
in connection with increased do
mestic defense and an increase
in the lend-lease program.
More Needed Soon .
Budget Director Harold D.
Smith brought the new estimates
to the White House today for a
final check with the president.
Informed persons had predic
ted the request earlier.
They said that all of the first
fund would be allocated by the
end of August and that a new
appropriation of approximately
the same size would be needed
almost Immediately to plan fur
ther arms production.
The first $7,000,000,000, they
added, already has been expand
ed by administrative action to
approximately $8,000,000,000.
They explained that the lease-
land act authorized the use of
$1,300,000,000 of other appro
priations for British aid pur
poses, but left to the president's
discretion whether this supple
mentary money should be repaid
from the lease-lend appropria
tion. In practice, it was said, lit
tle of this "other money" is be
ing reimbursed, so actually it
serves to swell the original $7,
000,000,000 fund.
Great Britain has been getting
nearly all the lease-lend mater
ial, although some has gone to
China and there is now a pos
sibility that shipments eventual
ly may go to Russia.
Frank B. Wire, state game su
pervisor, discussed Oregon wild
life at the Tuesday luncheon
meeting of Medford Rotary club,
at the Hotel Medford. Following
his brief address a moving pic
ture was shown featuring the
great antelope herds of the Hart
Mountain area.
"Oregon is the seventh state
in the nation In big game, third
in elk and third In antelope,"
Wire told the Rotarians. "There
Is still lots of wildlife In this
state although the natural habi
tat of wild life is gradually be
ing invaded by the increasing
number of people coming to
Oregon to live," he said.
The state game official re
minded his audience of steps
taken by the state to improve
fishing in Rogue River. If and
when the army cantonment
comes to southern Oregon, add
ed restrictions must be expected.
A high tribute to the scenic
beauty of the Crater and Dia
mond lake and the Rogue River
area was paid by Mr. Wire.

IN FORD PLANT
Auto Unit Is Turned Over to
Production of Landing
Gear to Speed Work
By Anthony O. De Loranio
(UP Staff Correspondent)
Detroit (U.R) A production
shortcut to speed output of bad
ly-needed landing gears for the
28-ton, 300-mile an hour Con
solidated B24D bomber has
been installed by the Ford Mo
tor company.
Edsel Ford, president, said
the company is going to build
the 1,000-pound tricycle landing
gears in the River Rouge tire
plant until its $18,000,000
bomber parts plant near Ypsl-
lanti, Mich., is ready for use
late this year.
The job of building this
landing equipment is a tough
one, he said, "so we are not
going to waste any time in get
ting the production problems
licked."
5-a-Diy at Start
Landing gears for five bomb
ers a day will be produced in
the temporary plant's produc
tion unit, which Ford said can
be moved to the new bomber
parts plant later. The parts
plant is separate from the $21,-
uuu.ooo airplane engine factory
under construction within the
1,200-acre tract embraced by
Ford's River Rouge plant.
Slow production of the land
ing gears, or so-called "oleas, '
is threatening to delay the
huge four-engined army bomb
ers. With the exception of the
engines the "oleos" are regard
ed as the most complicated part
of the B-24Ds.
They must be rugged to ab
sorb the shock of landing the
55,000-pound plane at a speed
of about 100 miles an hour.
They also must not be un
wieldy as they fold up into the
wings when the ship is in
flight.
Seek Shortcut
Ford engineers, confronted
by heavy demand for the
"oleos," are experimenting with
the design, hoping to simplify
production and thereby facili
tate delivery of bomber planes
on schedule. They plan to send
sample designs to army test lab
oratories for examination.
One engineer said that if the
required number of forgings

can be reduced along with the

TOWN GIVES UP
RENTED STREET
Delphos, O. (UP The vil
lage of Delphos has been renting
one of its main thoroughfares
from the state of Ohio since 1907
and now refuses to continue the
rental payments. As a result the
state may have a city street on
its hands.
Canal street is improved and
business houses face it, but the
one-block street has never been
owned by the city. The state
has been collecting $30 a year
in rent from Delphos taxpayers
ana now asks renewal of a con
tract on a 15-year basis at the
same rental.
30 WAR
ITALY, GERMANY FIK
YUGOSLAVIAN LINES
Rome, July 9. (JP) The sig
nature of accords fixing a new
German-Italian frontier through
the territory conquered in Yugo
slavia was announced today.
A communique said the new
frontier would follow the old
former Yugoslav-Italian border
to a point north of Fiume then
east to the Croatian border.
This would give Germany the
former Slovenian area in the
northwestern corner and leave
Italy the Dalmatian coast.

"From a military point nf
