MIAS EMI STOP
MARCH TO VICTORY
HOPKINS SITS
New York, June 22. (UP)—
(The war cannot be won this
year, and "dark days and
great sacrifices still unknown”
are ahead, Harry Hopkins,
chief adviser to President
Soosevelt, said tonight, but he
promised that, if neccesaary
for victory, the United Nations
would open not only a second
front, but a third and fourth
as well.
Nothing can stop our “on-
ward inarch to overwhelming
military victory,” he said.
Hopkins . spoke before a
huge maaq. meeting at Madison
Square .Garden in celebration
of the first anniversary of
Russia’s resistance to German
invasion. And, because of
Britain’s defeat in IJbya, the
apparent imminence of Sevas-
topol’s fall and the Jap inva-
sion of the Aleutians, hi3
speech necessarily was somber
m its overtones. But never
once did his confidence in ulti-
mate victory falter.
On the same platform with
him was the evening’s other
principal speaker, Russian
Ambassador Maxim Litvinov.
Like Hopkins, the Russian
ambassador held out hope for
a second. European front to aid
the Russian armies, who, al-
though hard-pressed, he prom-
ised would not falter.

the various recounters of the

Austin, Texas.—Keep your
shirt on I
That’s the suggestion of Dr.
A. L. Chapman, director of the
.University of Texas’ bureau
for research in education by
radio, when he's talking about
listening to radio in war time.
No. 7 in Dr. Chapman’s list
of seven precautions to be fol-
lowed when listening to war
reports by radio is:
“Don’t perform any sudden
act aa a result of what you
hear on a radio newscast. Af-
ter listening, don’t rush out
looking for all the Japanese
you can find to murder. You
might not have heard all that
was said. Keep your shirt on!”
In a bulletin on "Listening
to Radio in War Time,” which
is circulated by the radio
branch of the War Depart-
ment’s Bureau of Public Rela-
tions, Dr. Chapman offers the
following suggestions:
1. Listen to every word
Whereas it is possible to re-
read printed matter, the radio
news program is heard bnt
once. . . . When reading, per-
sons skip over words, this is
even more likely when listen-
ing to war news to a room
where there are other distrac-
tions. . . . The words “not” or
“possibly" may alter the
meaning of an entire sentence
of or a whole newseaat.
2. Don’t become hysterical.
What may seem bad news at
the moment, when viewed
form a distance may not be
quite so bad as it sounded on
first hearing.
3. Check the radio news
with newspaper accounts of
the same news item . . . Into-
nations, pauses, changes in
tempo and other speech tech-
niques used by newscasters
sometimes affect the meaning
of news stories to such an ex-
tent that a reading of the
newspaper accounts gives a
different interpretation to the
news item.
4. Note the source of the 1 From Tuesday’s Daily
news. ... A report of an offl-l Hoyt Sample, Jr., colored,

At a British Airdrome, June
22. (UP)—Germany has
plowed up some of its key air-
dromes along western Eu-
rope’s coast to prevent them
being used by the Allies in
event of an invasion, reliable
reports reaching Britain said
today.
This correspondent has
spent a week tonring RAF op-
erational bases and this Nazi
apprehension is clearly justi-
fied. The RAF now has better
all-around equipment than
any other unit that will parti-
cipate in the opening of a
"second front”
The tour included many dis-
tricts where only an occasion-
al farm or field separated an
almost continuous chain of air-
dromes. Some sections are
virtually one huge landing
field.
Many new and equally
large airdromes, some of
which may be earmarked for
the United States army air
corps, are nearing completion.
Britain has learned to scat-
ter her planes at many air-
dromes. She also has prepar-
ed for the defense of these
aerial bases.

iron and steel and other
metals and scrap rubber can
be collected from their farms.
The cards, advising the ap-
proximate amount of mate-
rials available and whether or
not equipment will be neces-

Elrod expressed the hope
that each fanner will be able
to assemble his scrap metal
and rubber at some conveni-
ent point near the road where
WPA crews may pick it up
easily.

Marshall, Tex, June 24.'
Collection of scrap metals and
rubber from rural areas will
be started in the Timpson area
within a few days by the
Work Project Administration,
it was announced today by A.
W. Elrod, district manager.
WPA trucks and labor will
be utilized to assemble scrap
for shipping to points where
it can be fed into America’s
war production machines.
Farmers may donate or sell
scrap to the WPA collectors,
Elrod explained. The Govern-
ment will pay 2S cents per
hundred pounds for any kind
of scrap metal and half a cent
a pound for rubber.
From abandoned binders
may come steel for anti-air-

natural resources and found
them sound commercial poten-
tialities, he declared. He listed
such items as building stones,
granite, fresh water pearls
and other precious and semi-
precious stones, clays for
ceramics, magnesite, fluxing
materials, abrasives and flints
for grinding.
“But people are so fascinat-
ed by the possibility of making
an oil strike that they will
sink $60,000 in a test that may
prove a dry hold,” Parkinson,
said, “that they will not pul
even a few hundred dollars in-
to a sure thing that will not
bring such immediate riches
as oil bnt would over the
course of a few years become
a sound, steady source of in-
come."
Only a few Texas minerals
are being exploited—such as
silver some drilling muds,
flints and magnesium-bearing
dolomite, he explained.
"It was not until the war
made development of new
sources of magnesium impera-
tive that Texaa did anything
to utilize the vast quantities
of magnesium-bearing ore in
Central Texas,” he went on,
“Now, too, the war has cot off
imports of flint pebbles from
France and Belgium for grind-
ing mills, and three companies
are now shipping carloads lots
of Texas pebbles to eastern
cement and ore plants.
Both these resources—dolo-
mite and flint pebbles—were
discovered mapped, and tested
by University bureaus.
Parkinson looks for a post-
war rush on Texas building
stone, due to the shortage or
lumber whieh is likely to re-
sult from wartime building.
Already native stone is in de-
mand for construction of
ranch-style homes, and he an-
ticipates greater development
along this line in the future
The University Bureau of En-
gineering Research has. tested
more than 300 different varie-
ties of native Texas stone suit-
able for various construction
purposes.
OPA JUBILANT
Gearhart, Ore., June 20.
(UP)—It is the mission of the
press of America to prevent
over-optimism and steel the
public for the struggle ahead
which may be long, United
States Supreme Court Justice
William O. Douglas declared
tonight.
Justice Douglas, addressing
convention session of the
Oregon newspaper publishers
association, asserted that op-
timism displayed in the press
could label the present preli-
minary struggle to stem the
tide of invasion as the final
hase, thus encouraging prema-
ture hopes.
“The American people are
not like the befuddled subjects
of Hitler who must be told
anew each January that their
opponents will collapse this
year,” the jurist said.
But, he warned, “the Illu-
sion is too widespread that we
can avoid a long aad bitter
fight.. . The press clearly has
a job on its hands. It must
make war on our illusions and
on our wishful thinking.”
Justice Douglas said the
newspaper-reading public is
fast acquiring a vivid sense of.
what it takes to hold the ene-
my, and that even a major
battle is far from being a war.
But he charged that the pub-
lic was not properly prepared
for the lose of Bataan.

cials learned that cost of liv-
