Mo bile infantry has been used mainly to occupy points after rounding up prisoners. Full Moon A full moon permitted the fight to continue through Sat urday night and last night with scarcely any waning in inten sity. The great Egyptian moon, shining on the glistening sands, makes it bright enough to read a newspaper but produces curi ous shadow effects which pose problems for gunners and tank crews. -.......'.

Repainting, Redecorating Allowed as Maintenance WASHINGTON D. C Re painting and redecorating with out specific authorization are permitted under the terms of Conservation Order L-41 when they constitute "maintenance" or "repair," the war production board stated this week, accord ing to the state priorities mana ger. Conservation Order L-41 places all civilian construction under rigid control. The intent of the order is to reduce non-essential construction to a mini mum so that all possible mate rial, equipment and effort will be available for use in direct war production. To comply with this, all construction work including repainting and redecorating which Is not absolutely neces sary, should be deferred for the duration. In drawing the order, the war production . board made allow ances for ordinary maintenance and repair work to - return a structure to sound working con dition without a change of de sign. Changes in material or type of equipment are permitted if the architectural or structural plan is not substantially altered in effecting the change. Thus, repainting and redecor ating needed to maintain an apartment, home or office in rea sonably satisfactory condition or to return it to that condition is permissible. For example, if a new tenant occupies an apart ment, home or office which has been left in an unsatisfactory condition by the previous occu pant, the landlord may redecor ate. Also ordinary redecorating, which is done as part of a cus tomary maintenance program, is permissible. On the other hand, unneces sary repainting or redecorating either by the landlord or the tenant dictated merely by a change in taste Is certainly not the kind of repainting or redec orating which constitutes per missible maintenance or repair under the order. It should be kept in mind that the intent of the order is to limit maintenance and repair to that which Is ab solutely necessary to keep a structure in sound working con dition or to restore it to that con dition. Since material, equipment and labor are needed for essential military construction, they should not be expended on non essential civilian work. When the army and navy are trimming their own construction programs to make material available for direct production of munitions, even greater consideration should be given by civilians in their demands for material to be used In work not even Indirectly related to the war.

Edgar Hoover, director of tion, announced that then boxes a beach near Jacksonville, Fla., by nasi agents who landed from a submarine via rubber hosts, Eight nf those landed thuilr were apprehended and are In custody. This FBI photo shows the boxes of explosives still In the hole on the beach. ; Battle for Egypt May O BRITISH nance and repair, as defined in L-41, is consistent with the re quirement of the office of price administration that landlords carry out customary repairs, maintenance and repainting for tenants once a rent ceiling has been set. Questions and Answers Q. I rent an apartment for $100 a month. For a number of years it has been the custom of my landlord to repaint and re decorate every two years. This custom was taken into considera tion by the OPA when it set a rent ceiling of $100 on my apart ment. However, my landlord has informed me that he is not permitted by Conservation Or der L-41, issued by the war pro duction board, to repaint or re decorate, even though such work is included in the rent celling set by OPA. Is this correct, or should my landlord continue his customary repainting and redec orating program? A. Since your rent celling has been set by the OPA and re painting and redecorating has been done as a part of a cus- tomary maintenance program by your landlord, there is nothing in L-41 which prohibits your landlord from continuing such maintenance work. Q. Suppose my landlord re fuses to repaint or redecorate after this has been pointed out to him, what should I do? A. Take up the problem with your OPA area rent director. Q. My landlord promised to build a bookcase in my apart ment and I, accordingly, signed an extension to my lease. He tells me that he is not permitted to build the bookcase because he is limited to spending less then $500 for new construction during any continuous 12-month period. Is that correct? A. He is correct in saying L-41 limits new construction to less than $500 In the apartment building, beyond that limit speci fic authority must be obtained. The manner in which he spends the amount up to $500 is not reg ulated by the terms of L-41. Q. Does the $500 limit apply just to my apartment or to the entire apartment building which has fifty additional apartments? A. The limit applies to the en tire building. Q. Suppose my landlord wants to build my bookcase, what should he do? A. If completion of this job will not use up the $500 limit for the apartment building, he may go ahead without authoriza tion. If, however, the Job will mean that he will exceed the $500 limit, he should fill out ap plication form PD-200, available at local FHA field offices, re questing permission to construct the bookcase. Both you and your landlord, however, should the federal bureau of investiga of explosives war planted on Be in the Making CANAL MILES BASES remember that construction ; work which is not absolutely necessary for the health and safety of tenants should be de ferred for the duration to make the material, equipment and la bor available for direct war pro duction. 10 (Continued From Page One) Early said. It compares with a total of 100,438 tons collected during the first six days of the campaign, which began June 15. Hoarding Ickes told reporters that he thought part of the lack of suc cess of the scrap rubber cam paign was due to hoarding, and he said there might even be people in official life who were doing a little hoarding. Boyd reported that New York still had the lowest per capita contributions to the rubber campaign and Nevada the high est. From the bottom up, he listed the lowest per capita states as New York, New Jer sey, Pennsylvania. Alabama and the District of Columbia The highest, from the top down, were Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and North Dakota. State Gets Special Investigator to Control Explosives WASHINGTON, June 29 (P) A special investigator has been assigned to Oregon by the bu reau of mines as part of a war program to control non-military explosives and to forestall sab otage. The program is nationwide and 48 of the 50 men already are on the job, including Wil liam F. McDonald with head quarters at Salem. Dr. R. R. Sayers, director of the bureau, ordered the Investi gators, acting under the author ity of the war-time federal ex plosive act, to cooperate fully with the federal bureau of in vestigation, the army and navy Intelligence and other federal agencies as well as with local of ficers. Their primary task will be to Investigate disasters and acci dents Involving explosives. . Spy-Saboteur Band Rounded Up by FBI NEW YORK, June 29 OP) Seizure of "several contacts and associates" of the band of eight nazl spy-saboteurs landed by U-boats on the east coast was announced last night by the FBI, which promised more arrests within a few days. New developments In the startling case of the eight Ger man agents submarine-borne to Long Island and Florida beaches with explosives Intended to wreck vital American Industries included the discovery of an additional cache of $20,000, In creasing the total of "pay-off money" carried by the saboteurs to $170,000. Neither the number nor the names of the persons arrested as aides of the Invading sabo. teurs were disclosed by Earl J, Connolley, assistant to FBI Di rector J. Edgar Hoover, in an nouncing the new roundup 24 hours after Hoover had revealed the capture of the agents bent on a two-year campaign of de struction against the American war effort, DOLEFUL DRIBBLE MARTINEZ, Calif., (JP) A big truck rolled along the highway to Stockton, loaded with kegs of nails. A couple of the kegs shook loose; uthers rattled around. Nails began dribbling out, An Incomplete count over the 80 miles showed 30 mournful motorists looking glumly at flat tires. One large truck at the roadside had six flats. Japs who take a look at their navy these days only see the half of It. (Continued from Page One) Items and the committee said that several were in "two of the basic cost ot living groups which means" a general ration ing program. Real Danger Henderson, expressing belief there was "a very real danger" that "our present price colliiiRs will not hold," told the commit tee: "What we will be able to do resU on the tax bill, and not only the amount ot it but the nature ot it, how much is with drawn from current spendable Income. It depends upon the amount of savings; It depends on the degree to which wages are stabilized; and It dopends upon the course of farm prices. and it depends upon the rata at which the war effort pro ceeds." Henderson repeatedly told the committee that transporta tion, rather than availability, was responsible for the sugar rationing and said that the war shipping administration had "very definitely Indicated there are items preferred above sugar." Testifying on June 11, Hen derson had this to say about plans to aid automobile dealers whoso cars were frozen and rationed: "That Is one thing for which I have special responsibility that I feel that we have not done a good job on. I think that the government is going to take appropriate action. Either we will let the dealer sell the cars to a pool or else the gov ernment will make an offer for them, to take them over for transportation purposes. Roger Dwyer, 9, Injured in Crash Roger Dwyer, 9, Langell val ley resident, was painfully in jured at 2 o'clock Sunday af ternoon when struck by a car operated by Alvin L.

Editorials on News (Continued From Page One) supremely important ONLY un til the range of land-based air craft is EXTENDED. Authorities, such as Seversky, whose "Victory through Air Power" Is the latest textbook on the subject, set five years as the limit ot this transitional period. When the range of land-based aircraft is sufficiently extended, they say, the carrier will be as out-of-date as the battleship now appears to be. TN this connection, note Satur day's raid by a U. S. naval "task" force on Japanese-held Wake Island (announced In to day's dispatches.) The damage was done by PLANES from the navy's car riers. In the old days the navy's heavy ships would have steamed up to Wake and battered down its defenses with big guns. Now it sends In its planes to do the job.
