Thadrlnns W Vi district rationing attorney for the Office of Price Administra tion, stated today that the basic 120 miles per month may be used as each motorist chooses. Theoretically, he pointed out, a motorist might use all of his eight valid "A" stamps on one 360-mile trin but that mnnM ho at the exclusion of all other fam- , lly use of the cir for a full three months period Such a motorist, he warned, would legally be un able to- use any of his 'B" or "C" rations for an emergency trip to the doctor or to go shop ping or visiting.

There is one situation, Veness explained, where a person may not use basic " A" rations as he pleases. This happens, he said, when a person in a remote dis trict secures supplemental ra tions for marketing and family use. In this case, the total mile age, including the "A" book, must be used for essential family driving. Northern California Indians believed Mount Shasta to be the home of the Great Spirit.

LVnVU when you do Mines, Boobytraps, Obstruc tions Must Be Removed Before Port Is Usable.

GASOLINE POWERS THE ATTACK. ..DON'T WASTE A DROPI TIDE WATER ASSOCIATED OIL COMPANY By Alex Singleton Representing combined American Press (Distributed by United Press) Aboard an LST In the English Channel June 34 (U.R) Demo lition and salvage experts are poised in the Channel with a convoy of dynamite, ready to tackle the dangerous initial phase of turning Cherbourg into a sheltered supply base for Al lied forces. "We are feady for anything," said Diving Officer J. H. Mac Donald, who won the Congres sional Medal of Honor for his work during the rescue of half of the crew of the submarine Squalus off Portsmouth, N. H and helping salvage it for war time duties in the Pacific which have been cited by President Roosevelt. Booby Traps Abound By "anything," MacDonald of high explosixes mines, booby traps ana underwater explosives which undoubtedly have been sown in Cherbourg's harbor and secreted in waterfront facilities by the Germans in an effort to delay uce of the harbor as long as possible. The importance of swift acqui sition of these facilities is ob vious. Once the harbor is clear of sunken obstructions or their position charted and the mines and other explosives neutralized, the port can be used to pour in supplies and troops aboard deep water vessels without danger from wind and tide the twin factors which have been imped ing beachhead delivery. In the days of peace, Cher bourg was a Channel calling port for trans-Atlantic 'ners. Thousands of American tourists have crowded the rails In bygone years as the liners steamed through the second breakwater into the quiet waters of the Petite Rade. It will be a different scene when the small boats of this convoy gingerly pick a path be hind minesweepers to within sight of Cherbourg's famous clock tower if it's still stand ing. Allies Prepared The Allies long have been pre paring for thnt mnmitnt AhnorI this LST are men trained for the job both Britons and Amer icans. They are men who risked their lives in similar tasks at Na ples, salvage experts who worked miracles nf at Pearl Harbor, demolition ex perts who learned the hard way in- deaMna with tim hnh. dropped on England.

Depending upon the temperature they can work safely at a depth of 60 feet for three or four hours and have to remain in fh ftnnnmMM.iAn chamber only 20 minutes. . Beneath the hot sun, beating down on the blue-green Channel waters, men of this port-clearing advance unit sprawled about the ship as It swung at anchor, awaiting word from the com mander of the convey which will send them Into an assignment perhaps as dangerous as any of the war. Officer Surprised When Nazis Revive Big Coastal Guns Cherbourg, June 28 (U.R) One of the most surprised men in this campaign probably was Lt. Charles Rhodes, of 2102 Fair field Ave., Hollywood, Calif., an army public relations pictorial officer, who was sitting on top of Fort Roule, which had sup posedly been surrendered to American assault troops, when the fort's big coastal guns three stories below cut loose. "At first I thought coastal guns In the vicinity were firing at us ," Rhodes said. "Then I looked below and saw the blast of the huge guns. I found the colonel, who immediately detailed a SQUad to trv to find nrrMi in h subterranean hideout." The colonel sent for Capt. Robert B. Klrkpatrlck, East Cleveland, O., who had knocked out the fort previously. Kirk- Datrick brnucht Itn flam fhrnw. er which quickly silenced the guns. CltMlng time for Classified ads B a. m.
