WPB vice chairman, and al
though it had been discussed
with Jeffers, "I can fairly say he
is not in unanimous agreement"
"In other words," interrupted
Senator Wheeler (D-Mont.), "he
doesn't think these projects
should be deferred.
The witness would not go that
far, asserting "his views are not
in full agreement with ours, and
I'd prefer that he speak for him'
self."
Dr. Whitman, taking full re
sponsibility for the decision, told
the committee the rubber pro'
gram will never suffer from the
lack of a single gallon of alco
hol."
Senator Wheeler recommend
ed that "in view of the wide dis.
crepancy between the views of
Elmer Davis and Jeffers over the
rubber program, we should call
both of these gentlemen.
Know Truth
"Jeffers says we are going to
have enough rubber," Wheeler
said. "Davis says we are not. The
American people are entitled to
know the truth."
'Tersonally," he added, "I'd
be glad to see the OWI eliminat
ed I think it would be a bless
ing to the country."
Appearing before the commit
tee with Whitman was John W.
Boyer, chief of the WPB alcohol
section.

Raising its total on the flaming
Sunday battle over the Sicilian
straits, when troop-loaded Ger
man transports tumbled out of
the sky like leaves in a forest
fire, allied headquarters said
three more enemy fighting
planes had been accounted for
by American pilots and their
RAF and South American allies
from the desert air force. This
put the total of enemy losses in
that single battle at 58 transports
and 19 fighters.
The fierce, but somewhat
slackened offensive was contin
ued yesterday against Marshal
Erwin Rommel's aerial ferry
route and resulted in the destruc
tion of 12 more-Junkers-52's and
eight fighters, the communique
said.
Total Raised
Four more axis planes de
stroyed in other fighting yester
day and 11 in assorted actions
Sunday brought the two-day toll
to 112.
Against these losses, the com
munique said the allies had 12
planes missing yesterday. Eleven
were announced missing the day
before, a two-day total of 23.
(A Malta communique said
two Junkers-52's and two Junk-ers-88
bombers were shot down
by Malta Spitfires yesterday, and
Valletta dispatches said a third
f, Junkers-52 was accounted for by
Mosquito bombers from the Fort
ress isle.
(In London it was assumed
these three were in addition to
the figures of the allied head
quarters communique, bringing
the two-day total to 73 axis
transports or 117 planes.)
Counter Attack
On the ground, the Germans
mounted a counter-attack in the
central sector against French
forces holding Oued.Kebir, south
of Bou Arada, but the French
beat off the assault easily.
The communique said there
was patrol activity elsewhere,,
but the fact that news was mea
gre from the land fronts was not
taken as an indication no fight
