With Third Army in Louisiana.
Sept. 4. (AP) — The personnel
officer of the First National
Guard division said today that
army morale was very good but
declared it would be better if it
weren't for "lace panty interfer-

"Now the men have found out
what was wanted and they're
taking their lot as they go. There
will be morale in the army if we
just let it be the Army and get
rid of lace parity interference."
The 01-year old regular army
officer, said much of the interfer-
ence came from outside organiza-
tion and groupe"~who sought to
dictate army welfare policy in-
stead of letting them evolve nat-
urally.

The foreign office - backed dip-

"The intention of the British

under increasing domestic and
British demands the agriculture
department will announce with-
in a few days details of a 1042
farm program which is designed
to provide the nation with the
largest supply of food ever pro-
duced in a single year.
Sharp increases in the produc-
tion of many commodities, par-
ticularly dairy products, poultry
products, vegetable crops suitable
for processing and canning, meat
animals, some fruits, and live-
stock feed, will be sought.
Only In the case of cotton, to-
bacco and wheat will rigid re-
strictions on production and mar-
keting be retained. Warehouses
and elevators are crowded with
huge surpluses of these crops as
a result of the Ion of export mar-
kets.
Approved by defense authori-
ties, the program Is being based
upon the fusumptlon that there
will be an unprecedented demand
for American food supplies dur-
ing 1942 and 1<M3, and also upon
material aid, to Russia continued
to be emphasized.
The cabinet Information board's
weekly report, told home ojvners
today not to pay attention to wild
rumors concerning possible stir
raids, on Japan. The report as-
serted that so long as the Imper-
ial njavy and army functioned it
was unthinkable that Japanese
cities could be subjected to air
assaults similar to those deliver-
ed against Chungking and Lon-

ELECTION OF
San Francisco, Sept. 4. (Al')—
A 22-year old girl. Cornelia Van
Ierland, was able to smile today
at her almost incredible fortune
in surviving a 265-foot plunge
from the Golden Gate bridge — a
distance approximately the height
of a 20-story building.
Shirty - four other persons had
leaped from the lofty span inio
the sea since the bridge was op-
ened in 1037, and all were killed.
She survived yesterday despite
an impact so great her silk stock-
ings were burst into sheds, both
shoes were torn off, arid a ring
Was ripped from her finger.
At the hospital she said:
f"I had to jump. I couldn't help
myself. I was standing there
looking down and something just
came over me. I couldn't help
It." ; „ ,
