WILL CARSON COUNTY RAISE ITS
FIFTH WAR LOAN PRQMPTLY?
The question that can be decided only by
you individually and collectively is: “Will
Carson County raise its Fifth War Loan quo-
ta of $460,000 promptly?”
'; The campaign began Monday morning,
r PRIORITY
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y.—Mrs..
MarcPlle M. Broeckx a juror in
a state Supreme court trial, told
the court her soldier son’s furlough
hjjid but one day to and she
wouW.like t spend it. with him.
* The judge and opposing attor-
neys consented, Broeckx and

trial went on with only 11 jurors.
impressive Wednesday morning. However,
Carson County has the reputation of doing
whatever is assigned in World War II.
Panhandle had raised less than 10 per cent
of the county’s quota Wednesday morning;—
it will take more than four times the $41,000
reported to put over this school district.
With the invasion on, many counties are
raising their quotas quicker thafL ever. Our
adjoining county, Hutchinson, raised its Se-
ries E. bond quota during the first day.
Carson has a Series E quota of $155,000. It
is a big quota, but governmental authorities
believe it is within the ability of the residents 0l^
and property owners in Carson County.
WHY MONEY IS NEEDED
The Texas Press Association held its annu-
al convention at Dallas June 9 and 10 and
editors learned why money is needed to car-
ry on World War II. A trip through the North
American Aviation plant, where a plane is
turned out every 40 minutes, was a feature.
One-half an hour was spent inspecting a
B-24 bomber. Officials advised us that this
big bomber costs $175,000. Tens of. thousands
of employes are turning out these planes at
Dallas.
That is part of the expense of World War
II and these planes are helping to win the
war.

THE WAR
TODAY
Associated Press War Analyst
The Allied position in the furi-
ous and fluid battle of the Cher-
bourg Peninsula has improved
steadily, as witness the extension
of their front from sixty miles to
about 100 during the past three
days despite determined reSist-
ance.
General Montgomery is ex-
hibiting all the skill and initia-
tive which thave made him fa-
mous. Right from the start he
has used every ounce of the
great strength at his disposal not
only to lengthen the front but,
more important, to extend its
depth from those dangerous
beaches and gain strategic points
so as Jo prepare for the main
counter-attack which still is to
come. As. a result we appear to
be in good shape to meet this
crucial test.
‘ In connection with this anxious-
ly awaited Nazi counterassault we
get the highly interesting report
that Marshal Rommel, who is
commanding the Nazi field forces
for the defense of Hitler’s Atlan-
tic wall, has had a clash with his
boss, Marshal Von Rundstedt. We
are told that Rommel wanted to
fling reserves into the Peninsula
as fast as possible so as to catch
the Allies off balance on. the
beaches. Von Rundstedt preferred
to sit tight until he saw whether
Cherbourg , represented the main
Allied thrusts.
The probabilities are that the
Hitlerite command could have
moved considerable forces to the
peninsula at the outset of the
landings, just as Rommel is said
to have advocated. Had this 1
been done it might have created
a tough situation for the Allies.
Of course, such an early attack
was exactly what Montgomery
expected from his old opponent
of the desert fighting in North
Africa. Monty knows his Rommel
aS few others do. That’s why the
Allied skipper has pushed so hard
right from the start to increase
the depth of his beachheads.
One is inclined to think that
Rommel was right, if indeed he
was urging quick action and that
the Germans may have missed the
bus. Anyway it can be said with
certainty that the Allies are most
grateful that they didn’t have to
deal with the major counterattack
in those'-critical early hours. As
j things now are, the wily Mont-
gomery again has out-Rommeled
Rommel.
was able to say the general sit-
uation was "better than satis-
factory.’' We new have an eigh-
ty mile front with a maximum
depth of some eighteen miles.
That strip of coast is of . course
Still more shallow than we like.
However, it’s deep enough so that |
Allied troops are increasingly able
to take the initiative, despite the
great advantage the Hitlerites
held at the outset in their power-
ful defenses. In short, we are get-
ting ahead with the job, and if
the weatherman will favor us,
Normandy Victory Garden
will flourish.
One of the most important de-
velopments produced by the ap-
pearance of the Sun was the real-
ly terrific combing which the Al-
lied air forces have been giving
Western Europe. Yesterday some
10,000 sorties were flown by A-
merican and British war planes.
They blasted bridges, communi-
cations, troop movements, and
what not. It was a field day.
The significance of this is
that ihey were blocking the
movements of German rein-
forcements and supplies lo the
Cherbourg peninsula*. They also
were disrupting the lines of ap- ,
proach to the potential invasion
points at which the Allies may
strike at any time. The German ,
^airforce showed up in greater
strength than at any time since
the invasion—but it was a weak
display..
The burst of sunshine over Hit-
ler’s Atlantic wall and the Eng-
lish Chhnnel during the past 24
hours has given a fine lift to the
Allied invasion, which came; so
close to disaster in its inception
and had. been terribly handicap-
ped ever since, because of the
vagaries of a dypseptic; weather-
man.
The great Allied beachhead
on the Cherbourg peninsula is
so well established that even

Wartime Washington Wants
Less Regimentation Says
Congressman Eugene Worley
By CONG. EUGENE WORLEY
News of the invasion has over-
shadowed everything else in
Washington. Official ears were
glued to late radio bulletins, and
the latest communiques were scan-
ned with anxious eyes. Pressing
matters on the home front were
temporarily forgotten. Vvhile
nearly everyone in Washington
expected this greatest of all mill r
tary operations to begin in June,
the secret was so Well kept that
but a handful of men knew exact-
ly when D-Day would actually
begin. Needless to say, interest in
the success of the operations was
intense. For the past two years,
congress has appropriated multi-
plied billions of dollars for the
express purpose of guaranteeing
our men the best training and the
best equipment in the world. The
wisdom of this policy is reflected
when we examine invasion figuiT s.
More than eleven thousand olanes
provided an unbeatable air um-
brella for the invasion forces. At
least four thousand warships of
all kinds were used in the opera-
tion. The landing barges, the
tanks^ the guns and bullets were
ocrats and Republicans are agreed
that the fundamental principles of
price control are absolutely essen-
tial to maintain a stable economy
gnd to prevent the Creation of a
crop of war millionaires. Congress
is determined however, to make
improvements in the bill which
will make the operation of the act
as fair and equitable as possible
and to prevent inequities which the
administration of the act has dis-
closed.
One such improvement is a re-
striction of the power to hold “star
chamber” proceedings or “Kanga-
roo courts.” This amendment has
tremendous support.
Another improvement which has
very active support from congress
men from agricultural sections is
to permit the farmer to include
the cost of his labor in determin-
ing the selling price of farm pro-
ducts. Such a measure was passed
by the house last year but was
never acted on by the senate.
Efforts have also been made to
keep the administration of all ra-
tioning as closely in the hands of

At least half the members of
congress have sons and daughters
on active duty with the armed for-
ces. Many members have already
received grim messages from the
War Department or Navy that one
or more sons have been lost in the
current conflict. The most recent
was the son of Paul Brown, mem-
ber from Georgia, who has been
reported missing' in action when
his submarine failed to return atr
ter operations against the Japanese
in the South Pacific.
Everyone has confidence in
Texas-born General Eisenhower
and is gratified over the immedi-
ate success. Many fear, however,
that the Germans are in the pro-
cess of bringing up heavy rein-
forcements to fling at the rela-
tively small Allied force now in

The Pilgrims knew they were ill-prepared for one of the
cruelest winters that resolute men, women anc^ children ever
had to face. Foreseeing trials that would challenge their
endurance, they treasured their scanty store of food and
rationed every helping.
But, when a Spring and Summer of strenuous labor rewarded
them with an abundant harvest, the Pilgrims were grateful—
but not alone for food. They felt they were well on their way
toward an established home in a new world, bright with free-
dom, security and a promising future for their children.
America’s goal has never changed. And for such a goal ration-
