Page 2 TUCSON DAILY CITIZEN Saturday, 'April 14, 1945. Nearly All Of U. S. Revenue Goes To War Dragonette a i Must Support Loan Drive Despite Allied victories on all the world battle-fronts, the bulk of the total national revenue expected this year--which will amount to 97.5 billions of dollars--will be allotted to the purchase of war materials of every description. This announcement was made today' by Fred Dragonnette, chairman of the Plma county war finance committee.

To prosecute the war to a successful conclusion, the county chairman said, approximately 4S per cent of the nation's collected -revenue in 1945 will go to maintain and supply the U. S. Army; about 29 per cent to the U. S. Navy; nearly 13 per cent to other active war agencies; and 10 cent will be used for non-military and non-war purposes.

"Every American knows by now," Dragonette asserted, "how we are to raise the money to make the purchase of war materials and equipment possible swiftly enough to bring the best results, in all the combat areas. The purchase of more and more bodns and stamps now and continuously will bring the expected results." If a large proportion of the annual American Income is saved through the war bond purchases, he continued, then the consumer purchases will be reduced with less subsequent pressure on prices. On the other hand, Dragonette explained, If war bond savings decline then the pressure of "spending money" on prices would be great and the cost of living would therefore be seriously affected. "We are paying the way now," he declared, "for the official open- Ing of the seventh war loan drive. All bond purchases made from this time forward will be credited to the drive." urged all Tucsonians to bend every effort to enable Plma county to attain its total war bond quota of $6,000,000 in the next drive to start soon.

A goal of $4,000,000. in Individual bond sales in addition to the $2,800,000 in the sale of series bonds, must be reached by June 30, when the campaign will end. "Above and beyond all else," he aald, "the American people should not be told war bonds and stamps are the best investment in the world. That fact should be self- evident to everybody by now."

Gerlach of Tucson, supervisor for the 693rd port company, who in the past month has twice saved sailors from drowning.

Brother of Mrs. Ann G. Delgado, 1231 Bast Edison street, Sgt. Gerlach from a ship his discharge-gang was unloading jumped into the icy water of Port de Bouc, France, to rescue a pair of imperiled American sailors. At midnight, the sailors stepped up the gangplank a blasting March wind caused one to misstep and he fell into the harbor.

As ho fell his head struck the quay. His buddy jumped to save him and soon was 'fighting a strong offshore current to keep himself from sinking. i Sgt, Gerlach, observing the sailors from his post on ship-deck, over the rail without removing any of his 'clothing. He saved the unconscious sailor first, went after the would-be- rescuer. Two weeks earlier, from a similar position on another ship, he spotted three French sailors clinging an overturned row-boat several hundred yards off-shore.

reported this to his pier 'officer who immediately sent out a rescue party. Overseas almost thirty months, Sgt. Gerlach.was with the 693rd in England, -Africa, Sicily, Italy and 3 Tucson Boys Arraigned On Dyer Act Rap Charge Youths Drove Stolfen Car Over a Line Violation of the Dyer act was charged against three local youths, aged 15, 16 and 17, when arraigned yesterday before U.
