LINCOLN SI NDAY JOURNAL AND STAR, MAY 3 1912 urges united effort of all parties BILLINGS, campeign of 1942 should be based on the principle of a unitefl effort and full co-operation of all parties to insure a complete victory. Kenneth S. Wherry, mblwest G. O. P.

director, told the Montana republican convention here Saturday. He urged that on that basis the conduct of the war must not be partisan but should be assumed by all loyal Americans, regardless of party, race or creed. "Our party, in adopting the resolution on party policy, at the national committee meeting In Chicago recently, dispelled all doubts of its sincerity In a united war he continued. Pledge Offensive. "We are now pledged to the prosecution of an offensive war waged relentlessly and without teservation, regardle.ss of cost in wealth, energy or human life, until the United States and its allies have won a complete victory over their Wherry said if the war is to won, it must be won by mass production all along the line.

Chicago laiifllords told to collect May rents CHICAGO. (INS).

Chicago landlords Saturday night were advised by the Chicago real estate board to collect rents specified in the May 1 leases, rather than put the rent ceiling specified by the OPA into immedite effect. The OPA order froze rents In the Chicago area as of March 1. but allowed 60 days before enforcement. The Chicago real estate board has petitioned the OPA to allow rent increases of 4 percent, holding rising taxes and increased cost of maintenance and materials makes raises necessary. aboard the freighter Delvalle, they left the Louisiana port Jan.

Dr. Crook, 62, a practicing physician in Lincoln since he left the army in 1919, had completed arrangements for the voyage before the Pearl Harbor episode. In no mood to let a few million Japs and nazis interfere with their long anticipated trip the two kans stuck to their guns, and in less than a week were zigzagging out of the gulf on their first ocean voyage.

In the Caribbean shortly after axis subs had raided oil storage depots and had sent several allied tankers to the bottom, the first hint of lurking danger came when a crew member sighted a floating life raft, of the type carried on the Delvalle. While in Rio a report was received that another Delta lines freighter had been sunk by a sub, and it was thought the raft may have contained survivors. Closer inspection proved the craft to be empty. After reaching port, it was learned that the sister ship had encountered no enemy submarine. A large turtle provided the second and last U-boat episode.

The second mate, standing on the bridge, sighted a black object of about 4 inches diameter protruding from the water. Da.shing for his field glasses, the abashed mate discovered the 'scope to be neck and head of the turtle. Travel at all times was under navy orders, with a naval crew on board to man the guns and keep watch. No radios were allowed, since reception would create a beam which might lead the enemy raiders to their prey. Blackout discipline was rigidly observed and boat drills practiced regularly.

The Devalle had a four inch gun mounted on its stem and two machine guns on special mountings at either side. During a gun drill, records Dr. Crook, a large bundle of reeds was tied together and dropped overside into a rough sea. it had become a speck on the horizon, gunners iet loose with the four inch cannon, and with the fir.st shot came near enough to knock the bundle of of the water. Dr.

Crook regards submarine tactics as the most treacherous of modern warfare. Despite the fact that ships take zigzag courses to prevent detection by listening devices, undersea boats often work In pairs, communicating their findings to each other.
