forces in Libya apparently nave
braked their retreat before the
counter-thrust of Gen. Erwin
Rommel's German-Italian army,
middle east headquarters report
ing today that there bad "been
little change in the general situ
ation during the last 24 hours."
"The main battle area is still
north and northeast of Msus,"
said the announcement. "There
is no change in the situation
north of Agedabla."
Msus, which was mentioned
In yesterday's communique as
the scene of sharp fighting, is
about 80 miles northeast of
Agedabia and approximately
the same distance southeast of
Bengasi.

For It!

A PAT on the back is always
nice. When patriotism is
involved, such praise is nicer
(till. And Standard has just
been lauded publicly bj U. S.
Treasury officials for pioneer
ing buy-a-bond deductions from
payroll a practice sure to
spread through industry.
But if you want to know the
truth, the credit belongs to on
particular part of our Company
our employees. To the ste
nographers and drillers and re
fi'nerymen and station salesmen
18,000 of them. To the peo
ple whose money will buy the
bonds. Tbey ssked for it. "Make
it simpler," they said, "and we'll
make it reuUr."
And no wonder! For our
people are the kind with the
greatest stake in America. Many
own their homes. Their chil
dren fill the schools and col
leges and Sunday schools. And
they're the sort who include
dictators in the old American
rule: "So live that you can look
any man in the eye and tell him
to go to "you-know-whtre."
Never has Standard felt more
pride in its people than when
they put preservation of coun- -try
before M other necessities
of life . . . when they budget it
ibesd of such fundamental re
quirements as food and shelter.
Maybe you'll feel like joining
us in a pat on the back for
tbem.

Hawaii Report7
Navy Committee
navy commands be unified In a
single defense department.
Laying a share of the blame
on. congress for the success of
the Japanese attack on Pearl
harbor, Norris declared that the
time had come to abolish the
war and navy departments as
such and to place the army,
navy and airforce under one de
fense department "
"Congress can t ' escape its
part of the blame for this
thing," the veteran Nebraska
senator told reporters. "Long
ago it should have streamlined
our military organization. It
ought now to provide for a uni
fied command from the top
down."
What was described as an en
couraging report on American
production and distribution of
war equipment was said to have
been given to a senate military
affairs subcommittee yesterday
by Lieut. Gen. H. H. Arnold,
chief of the air forces.
