KILL DROPS
DURING JUN
E
By The Associated Press
The Berlin radio testified to
day to a marked reduction in
the eficiency of German sub
marine warfare last month,
broadcasting a DNB dispatch
which listed the U-boat toll of al
lied shipping in June at 20 ships
totalling 107,000 tons, but im
plied this was only a temporary
setback.
The broadcast was recorded by
The Associated Press. The en
emy claim represented less than
one-seventh of the reported sink
ings in March 149 ships.
It was presented 24 hours after
Prime Minister Churchill told
the house of commons that, as a
result of the massacre of U-boats
in May, "we have had in June
the best month we have ever
known in the whole 46 months of
the war."
The tonnage claimed for June
was less than one-third of the
May figure, which was the low
est previous total this year.
Previous monthly claims of
tonnages sunk were: January,
849,000; March. 851,000; and
April 415,000. . ...

Highest Parachute Jump
Described by Coone
WASHINGTON, July 1 (AV
Lieut. Col. William Randolph
Lovelace II, described at a press
conference yesterday how he
parachute-jumped from an army
bomber near Ephrata, Wash., at
an altitude of 40,200 feet.
The jump is the highest on
record in this country and Love
lace said he made it to convince
himself that the emergency oxy
gen equipment furnished - to
army airmen is all that labora
tory tests indicated.
It was the first jump for the
colonel, a surgeon and air forces
expert on high altitude equip
ment. The equipment, incidentally,
Lovelace found to be excellent.
His only injury was the freez
ing of his .left hand. The jerk
of his opening 'chute flipped
off his heavy glove in 50-degree
below weather.
He landed in a wheat field
and was taken immediately to
the Ephrata air base hospital
for treatment for the frozen
member.
"It's going to be all right,
he said.
It took him 23 minutes and
51 seconds to float down, he
said,, adding with a grin that
this time "was almost exactly
what laboratory calculations
said it would be.

TIGHT CURB
ON GAS USE
WASHINGTON, July 1 W')
Secretary Ickos nld today the
midwest was closed to tighter
gasoline consumption curbs than
ever and declared the Pacific
coast probably would be restrict
ed more severely, too, before
the end of the year.
Ickes told a press conference
that opening of the big Inch pipe
line's eastward extension within
the next two weeks would bring
tho midwest still nearer to sharp
er restrictions without easing the
drastic curbs now on eastern
motorists.
He added that declining crude
oil production in California, plus
heavy military demands on that
state's output, will almost cer
tainly lead to a deficiency of oil
on the west coast before the end
of the year that "could, and
probably would, mean more se
vere rationing there."
