The neutralization of Malta as a base from which the Brit ish could cut the axis lines to Africa is regarded here as one of the principal factors In Rom mel's ability to bring against the British a considerably great er force than they had antici pated. Conversely, any strength ening of Malta woum nave worked acalnst Bnmm.l nd to that extent might even now in fluence the course of the cam paign In Egypt. ; federal automobile stamps, of ficially -on sale - July 1,. were "going like wildfire" according to Postmaster Burt 35.

He said the Sunday total plus Monday and Tuesday collections put the city well over the original 390,000-pound mark set for the drive which was to end June SO. Snodgrass said the local committee had received official notification of President Roose velt's 10-day extension of the rubber campaign. The drive chairman also said that Sunday's Boy Scout drive found a number of people not at home and therefore unable to contribute to the city-wide sweep conducted by the scouts com manding oil distributors' trucks. He said that arrangements have since been made with the scout organization for continuous pick up upon demand and asked that all persons with rubber for sale or donation to call the scout of fice at 6918.

Other witnesses told troopers that they heard a roaring noise as the plane nosed near the hill tops. It appeared, they said, as if the pilot were trying to straighten out the plane. He apparently succeeded but at that moment the wing fell and the crash followed. On a belt buckle owned by one victim the officers deciph ered the name Erwin Stratman, a duffle bag bore the name of Floyd Hyet and the flyleaf of a book had the name of Guy S. Hill. ' : r Most of the victims were Iden tified as army personnel by their charred uniforms, the offi cers said. ' One of the recovered memen tos was a half-burned postcard which read: "All that a birthday can hold of joy that's what I am wish ing for my dear boy." it was signed "Pop."
