f PAGE TWELVE STATE TO BUY SALEM, July 21 (JP The state board of control today au thorized S. B. Gillette, state pur chasing agent, to begin buying used automobiles for state de partments. Gillette reported it now is im possible for the state to obtain new cars. He said at least 25 automobiles would have to be bought for the state within the next six months. The board decided to renew the $412,000 insurance on the state flax plant at the state prison, the. premium amounts to $10,000 a year and the present policy expires September 1. The board took out the pri vate insurance last fall after a scries of disastrous fires which were set by convicts, the board finding that the state restoration fund, which is the state's own insurance system, did not con tain enough money to stand fur ther losses. This fund now totals $190,000. The state unemployment com pensation commission asked the board to increase from 4 cents to 8 cents the mileage allow ances given to employes to use their private cars in state busi ness. The commission said the employes lose money by using their own cars, and that several have threatened to quit their jobs because of the mileage rate. E GOTH SUPS All commercial vehicle oper ators requesting applications for certificates of war necessity on used trucks must first secure the original certificate from the former owner and submit it with their application to the office of defense transportation before a new certificate can be issued. This new change is to become effective immediately said Jim H. Busch, district ODT manager. Busch said that this new pro cedure has become necessary be cause of the increased number of duplicate certificates of war necessity now being issued by the district office of ODT. Individuals selling used com mercial vehicles must also sur render their "TT" coupons either to their local war price and ra tioning boards or to the ODT for cancellation. Busch also ex plained that if this procedure it followed by all applicants, it will help expedite the issuance of certificates of war necessity from the Medford ODT office, Canning sugar is now being allotted by the local war price and rationing board. Applicants for the sugar must have used the IS and 16 stamps designated for canning sugar before apply ing to the board. In all cases, the applications receive overnight service and canners were warned to plan ahead and get their sugar sup ply before they buy their fruit, . thus preventing possible spoil age. Applications may be made by mail or in person. In either case, ration book one must be returned with the application.

Nazis Kill French Innkeeper for Sheltering Airman NEW YORK, July 21 (P The nazi-controllcd Paris radio said today that an innkeeper in the French town of Cormcilles had been put to death by order of a German military court for giving overnight shelter to an American airman. The broadcast, which was re corded by the OWI. did not dis close the fate of the American, who was said to have bailed out near the town. You cannot get blood out of a turnip. Neither can we get unlimited quan tities of merchandise for civilian use when first preference must be given the needs of our Armed Forces. It's neither patriotic nor prudent now as it will be unavailing later to insist on merchandise for your normal requirements -- and this applies not only to the general public but to the volume-crazed retailer and to the business-as-usual manufacturer who forget that priorities and restrictions on raw materials and processing ele-1 ments are imposed in the interest of victory.
