War Game Troops Foil Enemy With Circular Line (Continued from Page One) defensive maneuver against In dian raiders on the open prairies. In the current maneuvers along 100-mile western Wash ington front, most of the dis tance is covered only by defen sive holding units or patrols while the four divisions are drawn up as the main self-con tained striking forces. Even the four circular divis ions are not along an even front at intervals, officers explained, but in battle array two would be up and two dropped back for reserve knockout punch. The rounded division also of fered the tactical advantage of being able to wheel swiftly for defensive action or a thrust in any direction. All remained quiet again early today on the western front, but officers indicated that defending forces would launch a "big push" in the next 24 or 48 hours. WITH THE ARMY IN SOUTH WEST WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 UP) Even a bullet! ess war uses up a tremendous quantity of ammunition. , v Twenty carloads of wooden blocks, marked "explosive" and handled with simulated care by men of the quartermaster de partment, arrived at various am munition depots in the war games area here today. The wooden blocks have the same shape as real cases of shells and are fed by truck dur ing the night into various battle fronts of the defending forces. Roads in the battle areas are clogged with the ammunition shipments after dark. Monday Deadline For Bus Strike SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 22 WH-Midnight Monday was set today by an AFL union as the deadline for calling a strike of 1300 Pacific Greyhound bus dri vers in California, Arizona, Ore gon, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Texas. The Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employes of Amer ica warned the company that the strike would take effect unless a satisfactory agreement was reached by then. W. J. Boyd, union secretary. indicated in a letter to W. E. Travis, company president, that tne main points at Issue were an unspecified amount of extra pay demanded by the union for driv ing In heavy traffic and on moun tain highways, dormitory accom modations for regular operators and vacation privileges for cer tain employes. Holmes Sentenced In McNary Killing REDWOOD CITY. Calif.. Aue. ! 22 (JP) John M. Holmes, blind: socialite and former army avia tor, was sentenced to one to 10 years imprisonment today for killing Wilson Davis McNary Jr., young Oregon businessman. S. E. Hoffmann, defense attor ney, was cut short in a plea for probation of Superior Judge Maxwell McNutt, who said, "you know perfectly well the penal code absolutely prohibits proba tion when a gun is used." Holmes, who blinded himself with a bullet wound after shoot ing McNary, showed no emotion when sentence was passed. Profitable Entertainment! 1 It's Oodles of Funl "AUCTION NITE" Coming Soon to the TOWER THEATRE V 7 M FIGURES ASSAILED IN (Continued from Page One) 15 and the war department fig? ures and there would be, the president remarked, even if a zero were added to the 15. Furthermore, he continued, Byrd said only 15 81-millimeter mortars would be produced per month in the months immediate ly ahead. In July, he said, pro duction was actually 221. In August the output will be 340, he said, and in September and October it will be even larger. Substantially Correct Byrd's figures on planes were substantially correct, Mr. Roose velt said, adding in response to a question that the senator had used those of the office of pro duction management. The president said that some one should ask William S. Knud- sen, OFM director, about the matter, but that it was his recol lection the July plane produc tion was 1465 compared with an earlier estimate of 1300 for the month. The president took exception to what he said was Byrd's con tention that production of mili tary planes had declined progres sively in May, June and July. The number of training planes increased, Mr. Roosevelt said, and the production of military aircraft remained steady because of changes in design and the testing of new designs to meet lessons learned last spring. But the fact remains, he said, that the senator's statement as a whole, in every single item ex cept planes, was as full of dis crepancies as those he had men tioned. It was in answer to a question that Mr. Roosevelt said that de fense production had not been entirely satisfactory. In saying that, he was voicing no new opinion, but only one which he has expressed before. On some things production is ahead of schedule and on tome things behind, he said, and that is on the assumption that the original estimates were right. Possibly some of these estimates were too low or too high, he sug gested. But on the average, he said, production is up with esti mates. In Washington, Senator Byrd issued this statement in reply to Mr. Roosevelt: "In admitting the accuracy of my speech in the senate as to fighting plane production, the president sustains the principal factor in my anxiety over the inadequacy of the aid we are giving to Great Britain and the inadequacy of our own protec tion. "So far as his wisecrack that 'somebody had sold the senator down the river in his figures' is concerned, I will say that wisecracks may create amuse ment but do not accomplish mili tary preparedness. My speech in the senate is substantially accurate."

We wish to especially thank the people of McCollum's camp.

(Continued from Page One) Wednesday that no formal appli cation for credits had been re ceived from Russia, but some ex ploratory conversations had ta ken place. His announced readiness to consider an RFC loan' for Russia won quick support from Sena tors Thomas (D-Utah) and Bailey (D-N. C), advocates of Increased aid to countries fighting Ger many. Bailey told newsmen that while he held no brief for the soviet form of government, he did not think that idealogical dis likes should deter this country from any material contribution it could make to hasten a Ger man defeat "It it was a den of rattle snakes opposing Hitler, I would aid and abet them," he declared. Taking much the same view, Thomas called it good business to extend the credits. If the Unit ed States were promised pay ment in vital raw materials, such as Russian manganese ore. Denmark Told Occupation of Iceland Not Choice COPENHAGEN, German-Oc cupied Denmark, Aug. 22 (TV- Prime Minister Thovald Staun- lng said In a declaration to the lower house of parliament to day that Iceland had no choice in the matter of occupation by U.

Bloody Harian County Takes Two More Lives HARLAN, Ky., Aug. 22 UP) New eruption of Harlan county's deadly labor strife, taking the lives of two more miners by gunshot, brought an agreement today to close until Monday a coal mine where the whine of bullets accompanied picketing yesterday. w. c. Burrow, state industrial relations commissioner, said operators of the International Harvester company's mine at Benham agreed to the closing at his request. The mine was the scene of the picketing and the center of the district where the shooting and fatalities oc curred. His purpose in asking the shutdown, Burrow said, was "to establish law and order in this community." He said opera tion would resume Monday. Two outbursts of shooting oc curred near the mine. Burrow reported "some shots" had bean fired last night and attributed the violence to a long standing dispute of CIO and AFL unions over claims to rights as col lective bargaining representa tives.

The minister, after conferring with Secretary of State Hull, told newspapermen that Iran would fight against Germany, Russia, Britain or any other force even though the odds were 10 to one to prevent ag gression on Iranian toll.
