ly urged by the American Automobile association today. On behalf of the executive committee of the national motoring body, Thomas P. Henry, president, of Detroit, transmitted five specific recommendations to the office of defense transportation, the claimant agency for civilians; to the Office of Price Administration, the rationing agency; and to the Administration for War, the supply agency. The recommendations are as follows: (a) That the weekly allowance of two gallons a car now given to coupon holders, be increased, since, as a matter of- car conservation, the present ration is not sufficient to keep the vehicle in proper operating condition. (b) That the ration for coupon holders be equalized on a national basis by raising the mileage allowance of .325 miles per War Borids provide the sinews of the war, help you join the fight.

(c) That the office of price administration should revise the regulations so that coupon holders may be made eligible for additional supplemental rations on a mileage- per-gallon basis in those instances where it is shown that their cars are not giving fifteen miles to the gallon, thus conforming to an adjustment provided for now in the case of coupon holders. (d) That, the of defense transportation and the office of price administration make more gasoline available to light-weigh, delivery trucks in order to enable retailers to resume a more norma to-home delivery service, thus con serving gasoline by diminishing the number of shopping trips the "A' coupon holders have to make. (e) That the military and naval authorities be urged to request the office of price administration to increase the special five gallon ration now allowed service men and women on leave or furlough since that ration has been proven to be inadequate.

Nazi troops captured in the drive on Orbetello revealed that they had received special cards authorizing them to split up into small bands or make their way alone to a rendezvous point near Florence, where the German high command apparently hoped to reassemble its shat-- tered 14th army. Capture Crack Troops. At least 20,000 crack troops of that army already had been taken prisoner by the pursuing 5th army and many of its top fighting units had been reduced to 25 per cent of their combat strength by casualties since the start of the allied offensive a. month ago.

Official sources said the 14th army numbered 150,000 men at the time of the Anzio beachhead battles and subsequently had been cut to about six divisions, 90,000 men, by casualties and transfers to the southern front. The six divisions, in turn, now have been smashed, forcing the Germans to rush three new divisions down from the north, including a division made up of captured Russians. The Russian group, comprised mainly of men from central Asiatic Russia, were commanded by German officers and non-coms.

REASONS FOR INCREASING YOUR WAR BONO PURCHASES I what you did for the war effort today was an easy thing to do, it isn'c enough. We can not hope to give as much as the boy who gives his life but' can do our utmost! For instance, if you haven't yet found yourself scheming and figuring on a way to buy extra War Bonds, it's a good sign you aren't buying enough! When your neighbor calls on you during the 5th War Loan to ask if you'll increase your purchases, say even if it takes a lot of scheming figuring afterward to pay for them. That's the way our men are doing their in the Pacific, in Italy, in England.

Ordered to attack, they do not first consult themselves to determine whether it's safe or convenient or comfortable." They're thinking of you at home. To protect you, they attack figure out how to do as they go. Uncle Sam needs your dollars to finance this war and he needs them now! Not just the dollars you can spare but every dollar you can earn that you don't absolutely need for food, shelter, clothing and the operation of the farm. War Bonds savings mean more to the average farmer or rancher than to almost anyone else. For they a financial reserve indispensable for the profitable and efficient operation of his business.

War Bonds are safe, they pay a good return, they're easy to buy. When they mature, they mean new machinery and equipment, new conveniences for the house, money for the children's schooling, funds for retirement. The next time you pick up your paper or listen to the radio news, have a conference with yourself. "Am I doing as much as I can to help win this war? Am I matching what 7 can do with what the boys are doing over there? Am I investing every possible dollar in War Bonds today to make my future and-my family's future more Most of us haven't yet begun to do our best, Uncle Sam needs it now! BUY MORE THAN BEFORE in the 5th War Loan! 115 war is hitting highest point. Government expenditures foe war arc at tbe peak.

MORE MONEY IS NEEDED NOW! 2. In proportion to WHO HAS THE MOST MONEY, individuals are not buying their share of War Bonds. America must correct this situation. 3. War Bonds provide the farmer and rancher with the financial reserve he must have to Survive the ordinary ups and downs of farming as a business.

Money will be needed urgently ac future date to replace and repair farm equipment, machinery, and War Bonds will provide it, 5.
