The battle then developed in
to fast moving fights between
tanks and mobile artillery, the
latter being shifted from posi

strike at opposing tanks. 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. -.......'.

collections, brought the city's
rubber heap to approximately
140,000 pounds, it was announc

R. O. Snodgrass, chairman of
the cltf campaign, said that In
Una with President Roosevelt's
proclamation extending the na

He said that with the added
ten days, the city's goal is now

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.

tion board in respect to mainte

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

Early said. It compares with a

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,

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

creasing the total of "pay-off
money" carried by the saboteurs
to $170,000.
Neither the number nor the
names of the persons arrested

that several were in "two of

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.

Authorities, such as Seversky,
whose "Victory through Air
Power" Is the latest textbook on
the subject, set five years as the

When the range of land-based
aircraft is sufficiently extended,
they say, the carrier will be as

Included five carriers. So only
one of them got away.
"The personnel losses on the
