PAGE THREE OF ADOLFHITLER U. P. President Gives Vuitee Workers Messages From Air Commanders at Front. San Diego, Cal., Sept. 20 (U.R) American planes are helping to forge a chain of invincible air power that is linking Hitler to his doom, V. S. air commanders abroad said in special messages to Hugh Baitlie, president of the United Press, who disclosed their contents today in an, ad dress to 80,000 consolidated Vuitee aircraft workers here. Baillie, just back from a trip to England, North Africa and Sicily, spoke to the workers who make the Liberator bomber that is playing an active part in the aerial assault against the Axis. Reason for Pride One message from MaJ. Gen. Ira C. Eaker, commander of the U. S. eight air force in England, said: , "You who build these great battleships of the air will have (D ems lou've been told, of course, that this will win the war, and ' that will win the war. But nothing, sir, is likely to con tribute more toward victory than trinitrotoluene, which chemists have given the pet name of CH3C6H2(N02)3, and the rest of us have nick named TNT. TNT, the explosive, is nitrated toluene, Since 1915, Standard ot California has been making , toluene from petroleum. So far as we can learn, this Company is its first commercial producer. Back at the start of World War J, we knew so colossally little about it that the price was $16 gallon. Production finally beat the price down to $2. But, by then, we were shipping a whole carload a month.' - That first plant faded with . the war. But another plant is now finished and shipments are being made. It takes advantage of studies which Standard's sci entists have been carrying on since 1938. We'd like you to know that every patent involved has been made available to the entire industry. ' ' Many things about our new toluene production we mustn't tell you. Yet you're entitled to know that with new "savvy" and new facilities Standard of, California, the pioneer, is now turning out the backbone of TNT at a rate that makes World War I's carload a month seem just a fly-speck on ancient history. - 3l . to met fidi-aex) lerTiwy i w a m w nans betted -vJP f& many occasions to be even more proud of -your-part in sending them into the air. Wingtip to wingtip with the Flying Fort resses, Thunderbolts and Ma rauders, the Liberators are help ing us to force a chain of invin cible air power that is linking Hitler to his doom." Brig. Gen. Victor H. Strahm, chief of staff of the ninth U. S. air force with headquarters in Cairo, said in his special mes sage to Baillie: . "To my mind there has been no weapon available to our force in this war of which we can be more proud than our con solidated built Liberators. From desert bases of the U. S. ninth air force here in the middle east they nave struck at the enemy first, along the north African coastline where they disrupted communications and supply lines and later on the European mainland where Axis port and rail facilities and airdromes felt the devastating weight of their attack."

E With the addition today of the corporation purchases and an al- lotment from the state, figures in Jackson county s Third Vic tory Loan drive were boosted t" $1,583,513.50, according to George T. Frey, chairman of 'he drive. This Is slightly more than half of the county quota of $2,668,000. This county's allotment from the state amounted to $270,000 Mr. Frey stated. The state pur chased $6,500,000 in war bonds for the present campaign and al lotted them t counties on the basis of population, it was ex plained. Most of the corporation purchases had previously been announced but had not .been in cluded In daily sales fiures since many are in the nature of al lotments from national firms. Mr. Frey declared that the next 10 days of the campaign would have V see every citizen doing his utmost in the drive since most of the large sales have now been made and the remaining $1.084486 of the quo ta must now be made up almost entirely from small sales. . Sales at the auction at Cen tral Point Saturday night added $14,775 to the quota. The auc tion, which followed a parade and a program by Mrs. Eve Pren tice s accordion students,, had A. H. Dudley as auctioneer and Floyd K. Dover as master of ceremonies- Several hundred dollars worth of merchandise donated by patriotic merchants. farmers and business men went to bond buyers. Lloyd Rupp had arranged the program and auc tion and bond sales were han died by representatives of the two Medford banks and the Cen tral Point postoffice.

JO (U.PJ Po lice broke up gathering of 500 persons near No. 10 Down ing street tonight after the demonstrators had attempted to get Prime Minister Winston Churchill to receive a depu tation seeking the Immediate opening of new land front In western Europe. London, Sept. 20 (U.R) Prime Minister Churchill, back in London after his Ipngest ab sence since he took office, con ferred with cabinet ministers and other advisers today prep aratory to reviewing the prog ress of the war in a speech be fore parliament. - H will speak, probably for an hour or more, at the next sitting of commons the date cannot be revealed for security reasons and is expected to deal with the decisions reached at the Quebec conference, the surren der of Italy and the success of the air war. Some Criticism Though Churchill's personal popularity is not far below the high reached at the successful conclusion ot the Tunisian cam paign, there has been criticism of his government in connection with the allies' failure to seize Benito Mussolini and their al leged slowness in consolidating their position in Italy. Churchill, his wife and daugh ter Mary arrived in London last night by train on the final leg of the return Journey from a five week stay in the United States and Canada, highlighted by the Quebeo' conference. Cheered On Arrival Thousands cheered as Chur chill stepped from the special train. He acknowledged . the greeting by giving the "V" sign with his upraised hand, then drove with bis family to 10 Downing street. - - Though Churchill declined to speak to newsmen, Information Minister Brendan Bracken said the prime minister had a splen did trip home and never had been in finer fettle. Churchill worked en route home, partly on his commons speech but much more on "other matters" Bracken said. Churchill returned from the United States aboard the British battleship Renown and landed at a. northwest British port, it was revealed.

TO WARNED 10 AVOID E All Highways In Bend Vici nity Carrying Heavy Load of Traffic Police Declare. ' Bend, . Ore., Sept, 20 U.R) Sgt L. L. Hirtzel of the state police and District Attorney Irv ing Brown today warned Oregon motorists to avoid, lt at all possi ble, the region In which the 4th corps army maneuver la under way. In the recent maneuver prob lem, the central Oregon highway bore the brunt of the army traf fic, but the next problem might involve some other mldstate route the Fremont, Ochoco, Dalles-California, Bend-Sisters or McKenzie, they pointed out. All highways in the vicinity of Bend are carrying a heavy load ot army travel. By Jerry Hannifin ' United Press Correspondent Fourth Corps Headquarters. Oregon Maneuver Area, Sept. 20 (U.R) Extended skirmishing continued early today along the apparent line forming across the central Oregon highway and up the slopes of Grassy Butte, where fighting was heavy in the second tactical problem of the fourth corps maneuvers. The terrain of this region could offer a natural defense with its bastioned ends Hamp ton and Butte to the north and the Glass mountains to the south If flanking were attempted as in tne first problems of the ma neuvers. Supply Big Question The formidable question Is suo- piy. 'ine desert roads around the mountain enforce driving In low gear at a maximum speed of five miles an hour. Two-foot dust is drifted like snow throughout the maneuver area. In battle contacts Sunday. Ma, Gen. James L. Bradley's blues apparently came from the west while MaJ. Gen. Gilbert Cook's red army appeared to be coming from the east. With the maneuvers battalion supply Is Sgt. Walter Kalnow, of Dodge City, Kans., who has been in the army 17 years and has a brother being held prisoner by we japs at (jsaxa, Japan. Kal now was In the Louisiana maneu vers in 1941 and says, "These are a cinch In comparison. There we had a mosquito swamp and bivouacked in mud." S. F.
