Call for No More
Tonnage Than 1943
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13 (IP)
TentatiVe plans for merchant
ship construction In 1044 call for
no more tonnage, and perhaps

cials said yesterday.
The new fast victory ship, de
signed by the maritime commis
sion as successor to the slow
moving, mass . built Liberty
ships, will play a large part in
the 1044 program, it was said,
but a "big proportion" of Llb-
Vrty vessels will continue to
'come off the ways.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13 (IP)
The Philippines won their right
to independence by tho fight the
natives put up on Bataan, says
President Roosevelt. Further
more, tho Islands will "soon be
redeemed from the Japanese
yoke."
In theso words, Mr. Roosevelt
spoke last night to the Filipino
peoplo on the 45th anniversary
of American occupation of the
far Pacific territory.
The moment the Japanese are
ousted, said the president, the
Philippines will have their own
republican government. By their
battle against the Japanese In
December, 1041 and for weeks
thereafter, they "gave final proof
that here was a nation fit to be
respected," he declared.
The Philippine government
will have a voico in the peace,
Mr. Roosevelt added.
Food Price Drop
Didn't Soak In on
Some Customers
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 UP)
That labor department report
of a decline In food prices In
cities sounded as pleasant as a
shower in drought-time but, an
unofficial survey showed today,
It didn't soak In with a lot of
tho customers.
Muny people In different
parts of the country said they
had not discerned any 2 per
cent decrease, as the depart
ment reported for the mid June
mid July period. It may have
been bocuuso their areas were
not affected by the reported
decline, or because they haven t
been buying the items said to
have lessened in cost.
But a Memphis housewife
suggested that the labor depart
ment was mistaken. She said
"I think they'd better check
their statistics again; prices Just
keep getting higher and high
er." Food Crop Farmers
Write Own Priority
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13
(fl'l Food crop farmers can
wrlto their own "certificates of
need" to get priorities for farm
equipment repairs at local ma
chine shops, the war production
board's regional office an
nounced today.
Such certificates, the WPB ex
plained, constitute nothing more
than the farmer himself writing
on a purchase order, or any piece
of paper, that I certify to the
WPB that I am a farmer and
that the supplies covered by this
order are needed now and will
be used for the operation of the
farm."
The regional office announced
yesterdoy that food crops would
get the highest priority rating
for machinery repair.

CHARITY BEGINS
PALESTINE, Tex. (P) When
a group started a dice game
after a businessmen's barbecue
they thought all the preachers
were gone.
But tho Rev. Joe Berry
walked up, scooped up $7.50,
plus the dice, and announced
that 'the money would go into
the collection plato of the First
Christian church .next Sunday.
That broke up the game.
Now I realize what a sap I was
when I used to take off for week
ends and not take my job serious
in making shells and cylinders.
