Compass point (abbr.) -j JZ it IIP Exsfpeo'Dinnseinitl; Leopold Plans Neither ToQuit Nor To Return Belgians Perplexed By 'Royal Question'; Debates Ahead BRUSSELS. July 15. VP) Prime Miniiter Achille Van Ack-' cr said today that King Leopold had decided against abdicating but nevertheless would not return to Belgium, thus leaving the whole "royal question" in a state of uncertainty. The Premier told newspaper men: "The government delegation which went to Salzburg has declared to King Leopold that the government was unanimous in thinking that if the King does not abdicate that parliamentary debates are inevitable. "The King has decided not to return to his country.

He has also decided not to abdicate. In view of this situation, the Regent (Prince Charles) has refused the resignation of the government In consequence, the government will go into office again. The cabinet will meet tomorrow." Van Acker made the announcement after conferring with government leaders just returned from parleys with Leopold at his villa near Salzburg, Austria. If the cabinet carries out its Implied threat to hold a par- liamentary debate on Leopold's action, a spirited verbal battle is expected. Anti-Leopold news-l papers recently have been full of accusations about the monarch's attitude during the German oc-I cupatipn and anti-Leopold par- Iiament members are Known to be ready to amplify their charges.

The first reaction to Van Ack- er's statement was one of per-; plexity. Observers pointed out that obviously the King could not stay away from his throne in-, definitely without some positive action yet neither abdicationists Bor- Leopoldistswere willing Joa- nieht to even euess at the out- come.

Distributed by King Futures Syndicate. Is Th. shinned 2.045.829 long tons of food, chiefly wheat and flour, for "wane of battle" feeding of civilians in liberated European areas during 1944 and the first five months of 1945. nf th tnnnare went to EuroDe after August 1944. as the Allied advances De- gan opening laige areas of Europe, a War Department statement said today.

(Earlier in the week, department officials said the army will stop food shipments to civilians in the liberated countries on Sept. 1.) Wheat and flour made up more than 70 per cent of the total, the army said. It asserted that "minimum Quantities of rationed foods have been exported for Eu rope civiuans. xoiai oi canneu meats, sugar and fats supplied durine the Deriod has been ap proximately 200,000 tons or 11 per cent of tne iooo. supplied, ah oi the meats supplied were under 1944 procurement as there has been no procurement of meats for civilian feeding since Decem-her 1944." The statement gave this breakdown of the total food shipped, in long tons of 2,200 pounds: Halsey's Mighty (Continued From Pare 1) taining 107,000 Japanese feeling the might or tne woria greatest tleet.

Throutrh binoculars the shore became startlingly close and a thin column of what appeared to be white smoke rose from a plant set in the depression De-twpen two low hills. 1 Our gunners were right on tne mark and got repeated no change, no change" reports from observers who meant that the range was right on the target and the shells were dropping where they would do the most damage. The shm's otiicers reportea ine plants were "thoroughly worked over with damage everywhere." Terrific explosions sou nde from the Nippon worics, louowea by flames spurting 300 leet upward. Fires broke out every where in the bie shops. Much damaee also was inflict ed along the waterfront where rnnlinp- docks are located.

The slender stacks of the Wani-shi iron works crumpled under the shelling and another large buildine was blown up. The open hearth blast furnaces were damaged badly. Numerous small buildings of another plant were hit. Heavy smoke rolled upward. A coal liquefaction works where the enemy produces syn thetic petroleum burst into flames.

Storage tanks took a pounding and throughout the Wanishi works sector large fires blossomed. Shells were lobbed at other in stallations, but the vital metal plants were the prime targets. The battleships taking part in this raking of the Northern Japan coast include the superdread-naughts Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin. In the destroyer screen worrying around the battlewag-ons were the McGowan, Norman, Scott and Remey. Two pilots forced down by battle damage skittered their planes across the water to safe landings.

Both men Were rescued by nearby destroyers. One was identi fied as Lieut, (jg) Jerome Lawrence Feeley (address unavail able). He was unhurt. The oth er nilot who remained unidenti fied was believed to have had one leg fractured by anti-aircraft missiles. Rear Adm.

Oscar C. Badger, tactical commander, grinned when he saw the destroyers rescue the two pilots while the bombardment still was going on. The ships stood offshore 30,000 vards. about 17 miles, as the or der to drop shells into the iron and steel works sounded. As the ships swung around in methodical, almost contemptuous turns, the rugged shore of Muro-ran Point was hung with blue haze, a battered northern bastion of Japan's dwindling empire.

Pour the liquid from the milk bottle as fast as it will pour. Check the time it took. Do the same thing with the liquid in the jug. You observe that it took much longer to empty the jug. The narrow neck didn't let the liquid pour out as fast.

This simple experiment also demonstrates the effect of bottle-necks in home electrical wiring. Skimpy wiring cuts down the brightness of your lights, and lessens the efficiency of your electrical appliances.

TJNUSUAL although very important uses for scrap paper have been found by the army, according to Luther Creel, state salvage director who so reported to State Chairman riaygooa r-at- erson last week. Said Mr.

Creel: "A candle housed in a carton made of waste paper helps our soldiers in the Pacific warm their K. and C. rations and heats water for tea or coffee. The container serves as a wick for the paraffin candle which burns even while floating on water. "Because of the necessity for traveling light on combat missions, soldiers cannot always carry gasoline stoves or take time to find dry wood even if a big fire were permissible.

The new fuel tablet, packaged in paper-board made of waste paper, provides heat for cooking under the most difficult combat conditions. "The candles will burn about twenty-five minutes and can be blown out and re-lighted. They come in the form of a cube about two inches square. "The paperboard container of the candle was designed not only as a protective medium, but also as a fuse for easy lighting. All a soldier has to do is tear open the flaps of the container and light them, the paper setting fire to the highly refined paraffin contents.

The fuel tablets are waterproof and will burn after being in the water for long periods of time. "First field tests of the fuel tablet were made at the Quartermaster's Depot in Chicago where in the face of a hard Chicago wind and a temperature of 18 degrees the fuel furnished- sufficient heat to prepare a piping hot meal: All meat components of emergency and combat rations are packaged ready to eat as they come out of the cans, but all of them can be improved by heating. "One use of the tablets developed by the GIs is to heat shovels which can throw a lot of warmth in a tent on a cold night" a These Are Dog Days Are you wondering why there is so much rain these days? And do you realize that the best way to find oat is to ask your dog? Well trained dogs can talk so that their master can understand them. I am letting oat a secret my wire Buck told me. These are dog days.

According to my dog, who got the information from other dogs and from Webster's also, dog days have a relation to the position of the dog star and take place forty days in the summer, usually starting between the sixth and 15th of July. In these days dogs are supposed, said my dog and Webster's, to be very susceptible to rabies. My dog says the theory is all bosh bat that the beat and fleas and flies and mange sometimes drive dogs almost insane causing them to run wild and froth at the mouth. Bat they are not mad, says my dog. My dog says the old superstition about rain every day for forty days if it rains on the first dog day is all rot a Maj.

French Yarbrough Major French Yarbrough, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walton Yarbrough, of College Court, is, with Mrs. Yarbrough, visiting his parents on a 30-day furlough. Major Yarbrough has seen plenty of action.

He landed in North Africa with Fatton Army He fought there and in Sicily and also landed with Patton in France. He took part in Patton's whirl wind march through France. Major Yarbrough will report to Fort Ogiethorpe the last of the month for further assignment. He was injured in North Africa but after beir.e hospitalized went bacs with his outfit. He has hundreds of friends in Montgomery who are delighted to greet him.

Buck Getting Snooty "Gimme a shot Ham bone," called out Buck Doe as he stepped into the Tavern the other afternoon in search of a milk shake. After imbibing Buck showed no sign of his usual satisfaction but he set foot on the rail and gave Hambone a line. Said he: a mbone do vnu know whut a court of arms is?" And Ham-bone couldn't quite make it. "Well.

The naval air strike at the ferry route between Hokkaido, one of the great food producing areas of the Japanese home islands, and the industrial island of Honshu, is an example. More and more there appears reference to attacks on Japanese rail lines. Japan's railroads are peculiarly vulnerable to such at tack. They average lour Drioges a mile and bridges are good bomber targets. The railroads of Nippon are electrified extensive ly, this for two reasons: tne abundance of hydroelectric power and shortage of coal or Diesel oil.

Power plants and transmission facilities provide an added number of targets. In this country, however, (and presumably this is true of Japan) these electrical transmission systems are integrated, so that if one fails another takes over the load. Landing Not Imminent In addition to the obvious stra tegic aspects of the current attack, there seem to be other reasons for believing that a landing on Japan is not imminent. There have been no reports by the enemy of American troop transports or landing craft in company with naval forces moving into Japanese waters. The redeployment of American Army forces from Europe to the Pacific still is in its initial stage.

That the army believes a major land force must be assembled for the final attack on the enemy's inner citadel is implicit in the statement of Undersecre' tary of War Patterson. We must be prepared to win the war the hard way by killing Japanese soldiers right through the ruins of Tokyo. Wacs From Overseas Landed In New York NEW YORK, July 15. IIP) The first contingent of Wacs to be returned from Europe by air under the army's redeployment program arrived today at La Guardia Field. The majority of the 67 Wacs comprising the contingent completed more than a year's service in England or on the European continent.

Some served as long as 24 months overseas. S-Sergt.

Our generating plants make instantly at the flick of your switch the electricity the switch calls for. Both provide good service. BUT when the current reaches your home, will its flow be slowed as the liquid in the jug was? It trill be if the wiring in your home, isn't adequate.

Too few electrical circuits in a home, or wiring too small, just won't let enough current flow to cause th lights to burn as brightly as they should and to make the electrical appliances operate at top efficiency.
