Harmon, San Francisco ord nance district deputy chief, has announced five western states are producing $220,838,400 worth of war material contracts for this district alone. California leads the nation In to tal contracts, including shipbuilding and aircraft production, but Washington heads the coast In ordnance contracts with a total of California ordnance contracts total $103,106,900, including production of shell, aircraft flares, tanks, bombs, cartridge cases, gun car riages, howitzers, tank engines and lathes and machine tools. Oregon is third with $4,050,500 in contracts, followed by Utah with $189,000 and Montana with $1,900. A year ago there were 16 con tracts in the San Francisco ordnance district. Today, six months after Pearl Harbor, the total is 357.

California leads the western states with 291. Washington is second with 45. Oregon was 19 and Montana and Utah with one each. Col. Harmon explained the rapid expansion of ordnance contracts in the west was possible because facilities had been surveyed and industrial plants' capacities studied years prior to declaration of war.

Dockweiler, Pioneer, Seeks Birth Records fRv United Press) LOS ANGELES, July 13. Isadore B. Dockweiler, California pioneer who was born here 74 years ago, today was faced with the problem of proving it. Father of District Attorney John Dockweiler and Superior Judge George Dockweiler, the elder Dockweiler is a widely-known figure in Southern California. But because his name does not appear in early records he had on file today a superior court petition to prove he was born in the heart of the city Dec.

28, 1867. The petition includes baptismal records of the Church of Our Lady of the Angels and testimony of Joseph Mcsmer, chronicler of early California history. High Speed Training Qiven Ships' Quards Treasure Island Naval School Concentrates On Gunnery and Signaling (By Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, July 13. A glimpse at the navy's high speed training of men for the armed guard the sailors who do their fighting from the desks of merchant ships-was given to the press today. At Treasure island, one of the three armed guard centers, men attend daily classes subject to sudden call to sea duty.

That does not mean they may be sent to sea incompletely trained. They have received fundamental training before reaching this school and are considered ready for duty afloat any time. FINISHING TOUCHES One of the huge buildings which housed some of the exhibits at the Golden Gate exposition of 1939 and 1940 has been taken over by the armed guard center, which in turn is a part of the new naval base. Similar schools are operated in Brooklyn and New Orleans. Naval recruits destined for the armed guard first are indoctrinated and given fundamental training at various armed guard training points throughout the country.

They are drilled heavily in gunnery and sig naling. The Treasure island school, in charge of E. D. Flaherty, puts the finishing touches to their naval education. It also serves as the home base for all men who start sea duty from there, no matter where a merchant ship may take them, Instruction includes the break down and assembly of machine guns and anti-aircraft pieces, and intensified study of the heavier deck guns used against submarines.

Some men complete their courses in 10 days of so; others may remain longer. The Treasure island center, designed to take care of the Pacific area, is a constantly expanding agency for turning out protection for increasing numbers of merchant ships. It is slated for indefinite growth. Men ready for duty are assem bled into signal and gunnery units of a size to fit individual ships. The head of this unit may be a lieu tenant, a junior lieutenant or an ensign.

Aboard ship this unit is subject to the orders of the civilian skipper only insofar as the internal operation of the vessel is concerned. The unit commander Is the final author ity in tho job of protecting tho ship.

Cape Town or Sydney can have cash in his pockets by utilizing a new wrinkle in navy life the partial pay card. The card is issued to him instead of money and is good for the net amount due him after deductions for allotment to relatives and other fixed expenses.

It may be honored by any navy paymaster. Thus he doesn't have to depend upon his distant home base for his pay. Mail addressed to him by relatives and friends comes first to the center and then is forwarded. His records are kept there also. And when he has finished his job aboard ship he reports to Treasure island, which is his official home, at least for the duration.

Evening High School Enrollment Launched The San Bernardino Evening High school has started enrollment for the new six-week summer term, offering the following courses.

Evening classes in automotive and Diesel, welding, and woodshop (evening), might be added if a sufficient number of students applied. In that case both men and women would be admitted to such classes, Students should enroll early so that classes can be arranged in advance, enabling the faculty to avoid excessively large classes or excessively small ones, he said.

Zimmer, 19, son of Ray Zimmer, 1177 Eleventh street, has been advanced from the rank of corporal to sergeant. Royal L. Runnels, son of Frank P.

DIVE BUG MS SI MOST DEADLY Torpedo Planet Also Rank With Them Lessons Drawn From Midway, Coral Battles By CLARK LEE (Associated Press Writer) PEARL. HARBOR, T. H. The chief lessons in the use of aircraft that have emerged from the Mid way and Coral Bea bnttles are that dive bombers and torpedo planes are more effective and dead ly against fast moving surface ves sels than any other form of aerial attack. High altitude bombing was effec tive in both battles against ships which already had been crippled by low level attacks, but only moderately so against undamaged ships In motion.

BASED ON SURVEY These conclusions are based on an Impartial survey of all facts available from both battles wherein army, navy and marine corps air forces all played Important roles. These battles between aircraft carriers are like a boxing match between two heavyweights, each possessing an annihilating punch and a glass jaw. Whoever lands the first blow wins. Sometimes both deliver their punch simultaneously; then there is a double knockout. In both the Midway and the Coral sea battles, the United States planes landed the first blows.

The decisive attacks were made by dive bombers and torpedo planes. ATTACK CRIPPLED SHIPS Then, shore-based heavy bombers followed up and attacked the crippled vessels. At Midway, such high altitude bombing undoubtedly contributed to breaking the morale of an already smashed and fleeing Japanese invasion fleet. Heavy army planes ranged far seaward to pursue the enemy. In the Coral sea battle, American carrier-based planes concentrated on the Japanese task forces while the army's heavy bombers from Australia attacked the enemy's transport fleet off New Guinea.

In the Midway battle, land-based army and navy torpedo planes, ma rine corps dive bombers, and carrier-based navy dive bombers and torpedo planes, all were used in addition to the army's shore-based heavy bombers. All types of aircraft performed well, but it was proved that in order to sink ships airplanes have to go in so close they simply cannot miss. DOES NOT MISS A dive bomber plunging vertically to within 500 feet of its target does not miss. Neither do torpedo planes going equally close. On the other hand, a fast moving ship like a 'carrier can successfully evade bombs dropped from altitudes of 10,000 feet or more, unless there are sufficient planes in the attacking bomber formation to plant a complete pattern of explosives, blanketing any course to which a carrier could possibly turn.

(Continued from Page Nine) 1943. In Highland, the lemon crop is light because of some late cold weather. Grapefruit are dropping quite heavily in Upland, while about half the crop is picked in Rialto. He said the market price has increased from about half a cent a pound last year to $1.75 to $2 per hundred this year. Fontana is well started on the grapefruit harvest.

GRAPE CROP GOOD His report on other crops follows briefly: Grapes, look good with a 75 per cent crop expected; walnuts, much lighter crop in Ontario than last year or about 75 per cent of normal; plums, best crop in years in Ontario for Kelsey plums; peaches, clings and freestones in Ontario, both 100 per cent crops; sweet potatoes, about 200 acres in Rialto and 200 in Chlno; tomatoes, about 30 acres of cannery tomatoes in Rialto and 2,000 acres with some insect injury in Chino; potatoes, acreage is less than 500 with a good crop. Most of the hay has been cut and baled in the Rialto district. He said beans and corn will have considerable planting in Chino, but no estimate is available yet. There are about 4,000 acres of sweet corn. Drive for Rubber To Be Continued (Continued from Page Nine) the petroleum council, in congratulating California on the success of the rubber drive, referred to re sults in many sections of the state as "phenomenal." Governor Olson said the Salvage for Victory" committee would continue to sponsor the collection of rubber throughout the state, keep ing It up for the duration of the war.

The committee, headed by Su perior Judge Edward P. Murphy of San Francisco, will mako the col lections in connection with other salvage activities. CROPS REM, LABOR SCARCE I COMMAND FOR Anticipation of New Attacks by Japanese Inspires Request For Unified Authority (By United Press) WASHINGTON. Julv 13Klh. lishment of a unified command In Alaska, only major American outpost still under lndenendent nrmv and navy commands, has been urged upon president Roosevelt by Alaskan civilian leaders.

These Officials Wen Undaratnnri to have told Mr. Roosevelt that the need for a slnele hlirh command for territorial military and navy establishments has been greatly Increased by the Japanese occupation of the westerly islands in the Aleutian group, which extends nm 1,200 miles from the tlrj of the Al- kan peninsula. The recommendations, it said, are not the result of any feeling that the Japanese success In gaining the Aloutian toehold have been due to any failure of either army or navy officials. Instead, they were sam to nave Deen Inspired by anticipation of new Jananese at tacks and maneuvers in the area. GOOD COORDINATION Both armv and navv exnerta hor have indicated that excellent coordination already exists between the two services through constant consultation and exchange of informa tion.

The civilian leaders, however. fn1 that the Alaskan area is much too large and too Imnortant to Tirn- tected by "consultations," and are convinced tnat a genuine supreme command must be established. Gov. Ernest Gruenlne. whn r- cently conferred with federal officials regarding Alaskan defenses, Is understood to have made the first urgent representations.

The move is sunnorted bv Tfenro- sentative Anthony Dimond, Alaskan aeiegate in congress, who told the United Press the "onnrrtinaHnn of army and navy activities in Alaska is an absolute necessltv in vlow nf Japanese attacks." Alaska is a theater of war, and I can't understand how we can wage a combination air, land and sea war without unification of the command of operations," he said. "It is as vital to Alaska today as It was to Hawaii in December, 1941." ONE OFFICER SUPREME Unified commands wern set nn In Hawaii. Puerto Rico and the Hanoi Zone shortly after the Japanese as sault on rean Harbor. Nipponese successes in that historic assault were credited in part to a lack of coordinated command. Until recently the army and navy controlled Alaskan operations from west coast headquarters the navy from Seattle and the army from San Francisco.

But more recentlv operations have been decentralized in an army Alaskan defense command and a navy Alaskan operations command. Their headquarters, both In Alaska, are said to be in different places. Under a unified system, either an army or navy officer is designated as chief of all operations, dependent on which has the more important functions. There was no further official news on developments in the fog-shrouded Aleutian area. The Berlin radio, however, reiterated Japanese claims of still new landings in the outlying islands.

This correspondent rode in one of the queer little vehicles on his way to see an artillery regiment behind the central front.
