The rate of the refund and the. uses
to which it might be put were left

two or more divisions, will undergo
the training in the South and West.
Aimed at providing the most thor-

American troops," the maneuvers will
help condition troops "both mental-
ly and physically for the job that lies
ahead," the war secretary said.
Stimson announced at the same
time that new tasks had been defin-
ed for the state guards formed to
take the place of National Guard
units now in national service.
The Army is to provide part-time
instructors to give realistic training
whenever they can be spared, through
the commanders of the Army's nine
corps areas.

said the state guardsmen would be
expected to deal with disturbances
and disasters, to guard vital facilities,
assist military police, suppress ene-

Middle East
Appears to Be
In No Danger Now
CAIRO, June, 19. — Split by 25 days
of hammering by powerful Axis fore-
es, the Brit ish. 8th Ary withdrew-
to new positions today, one section
taking up fortified places near the
Egyptian border, while the other fell
back into the defensive perimeter of
Tobruk to defend that Libyan coast-
al stronghold against violent siege.
Only the. shore road remained as a
tenoua link between. Tobruk and the
main British body. • ;
With the exception the situation
nearly duplicated that which existed
during almost eight months of last
year when Tobruk, holding firm on
the flank against every assault,
stood as a drag on a drive Into Egypt,
80 miles to the east, by Nazi troops
which had by-passed the port.
Informed sources expressed the be-
lief that Nazi Marshal Erwin Rem-
mel would try quickly to cut the
coastal road as a preliminary to a
grand assault on the fortress.
The Nile Valley and the Middle
East appeared to be in no Immediate
danger, however.
Although British strength is ad-
the war, be not taxable. However
sentiment against the idea was re-
ported strong in the committee.
It was estimated that a 14 per cent
refund would affect about 36,000 cor-
porations and would mean the return
of about $954,000,000 annually.
Thus, although the bill the com-

WASHINGTON, June 19. — A de-

from Chairman Truman (Dem.) of
Missouri, of the special Senate com-

as he issued a report criticizing what
the committee termed "damaging de-

“The W. P. B. has not fully measur-

said in a statement.
