The Gazette and Daily, Yort, Tuesday Morning, June 1, 1945 18 ReviseNaval First Anniversary Service Tests V-, I i Axis-Oppressed Lands Will Need Post-War Assistance At Once Swarthmore, May 31 MP) Relief Director Herbert H. Lehman estimated today that 540,000,000 persons are living under Japanese or German rule and said most of them will need assistance as soon as the war ends. "To many of them assistance will mean the difference between life and death, the difference between right decisions and an embittered choice that might spell chaos for future generations," he said in a prepared commencement address at Swarthmore college. The former New York Governor added that relief will be provided with the "least possible burden on stocks that might be short in the United States." Preparations for feeding and clothing the liberated are going forward, he said, and "it well may be that the time is running out for preparations for the peace." "Before we can talk of peace and a permanent mechanism to secure it," he added, "we must first make certain that the nations, and the men, women and children who make up the nations, are not driven by starvation and desperation to embrace ideas as horrible as those of the Axis Of Lincoln Fire Go. Reconditioned piece of appar- atus will be turned over to York's newest unit this evening.

Drivers named. The first anniversary of the Lincoln Fire Engine company, No. 9, will be celebrated at the monthly meeting of the company at 7:30 o'clock tonight, in its new quar- ters in the York Bus company garage, North Hartley street, extended. A piece of apparatus, formerly used by the Union Fire company, which has been reconditioned, will-x. be moved from the Royal Engine house to the Lincoln company's headquarters and will be placed in service about noon today.

David Wills, a driver for the Vigilant company, and Chester Hartman, a driver for the Rex company, have been assigned as drivers for the new company, Fire Chief L. Ellis Wagner stated last night. However, Mr. Wills is on vacation at the present time and Mr. Hart-man is off duty sick, so their places at the Lincoln will be temporarily filled by Joseph Provenza and William Drawbaugh, substitute drivers.

It was stated that a large number of new members will be elected at tonight's meeting, with the president, Witmer Bush, in charge. Member of city council have been invited to attend. Refreshments will be served. AID TO RUSSIA (Continued from Page 2) gar, of proteins and of fats, have become increasingly serious." Despite this serious situation it is only in the past few months any considerable quantity of the food promised them. Britain Received More "We have shipped more than $1,600,000,000 worth of agricultural products," says the Lend-Lease report submitted to Congress last week.

"Most of this has been food shipped principally to Russia, for the Soviet army, and to Great Britain, for the British armed fbrces and those on the production front The reader of the above would gather that a major part of this went to the detailed figures which went with the report shows these exports were divided in this way: For the United Kingdom: $1,264,000,000 For the USSR: 316,000,000 Most of these shipments are recent. Stettinius reported on March 11 that "until December, 1942, most Lend-Lease exports of foodstuffs went to the United Kingdom." Earthquake Recorded At California Station Pasadena, May 31 UP) The seismological laboratory of the California Institute of Tech- BYRNES OUTLINES Continued "from Page 3 tions have patriotically refused to countenance the right to strike in times of war," and added: "We have had some stoppages" of work in industries producing weapons' of war. They have justly aroused criticism. But when you condemn the few who strike, do not forget that the great mass of our workers and, with rare exceptions, the leaders of organized labor, are doing as much as any of us, and more than many of us, see that there is no interruption in war production. Do not forget that during 1942 only 120 of 1 per cent of the time of workers engaged in war work was 'lost on strikes." Byrnes gave this bill of particulars on production: The 100 fighting ships, exclusive of several thousand landing craft, made in the first five months of 1943 were almost as many as were finished in all of 1942 and three times as many as in 1941.

Two Special Objectives The construction program is marked by two special achievements aircraft carriers to cover our convoys and attack and escort vessels to destroy submarines. In the 12 months ending tonight, America has built more than 1,000 ocean-going dry cargo ships and almost 100 tankers, compared with 50 ships. and 22 tankers in the year ending May 31, 1941. Motor vehicles shipped to Lend-Lease countries total almost twice the number produced for American forces alone in the last war. War plants at home have made 100,000 anti-aircraft guns, at the same time turning out one piece of artillery for every 45 soldiers.

In the last war, with an Army half the size, Byrnes said, we manufactured one piece of artillery for every 1,100 men. In three years, the Nation has supplied 44,830,000 bombs for our planes and those of our Allies. Byrnes put airplane production in the year just ended at 60,000 against 10,143 in the 12 months ended June 1941. "Do you remember," he asked, "how the Nazi and Japanese propagandist scoffed when President Roosevelt first announced that we were going to build planes? Well, they do not scoff now. They know that America means business." While he did not break down the total plane production figure, Byrnes said aircraft had been getting heavier and heavier, the proportion of bombers and fighters had risen steadily and they were bigger.

Byrnes Tells Of Marvels Of Radar Spartanburg, S. May 31 Cn To illustrate how Allied forces are carrying the fight' to the enemy, James F. Byrnes cited tonight the sinking of four submarines that attacked a convoy and the destruction of a Japanese battleship at eight-mile range on a stormy night by means of radar." TIic wiiolesaie destruction ot submarines presumably was the victory announced in London May 12. The Admiralty said four and perhaps 10 U-boats were sunk after they attacked a convoy. The sinking of the battleship had been announced last November by the Navy, but it did not disclose at that time how radar mastered the eight-mile range.

Byrnes gave no details of the convoy results, saying only: "The submarine still a deadly menace, but our attack against the submarine is even more deadly. Recently one of our convoys was set upon by a pack of Nazi submarines. They got one of our merchant ships, but we got four of their submarines." As for radar, the device which uses boomeranging radio beams to detect distant enemy planes and ships, even in fog or at night, Byrnes said: "On the night of Nov. 14 off Guadalcanal, there lay a Japanese battleship. It was a stormy night.

Eight miles away was a ship of our fleet. With the use of the Knox confirms, story- Navy will lower physical standards, especially on eyesight. Decision may delay somewhat induction of fathers. Washington, May 31 WP) The Navy's lowering of physical standards for draftees may slow up slightly the induction of Chief McNutt said today. This development will delay fathers' calls to whatever extent it permits the induction of men who otherwise would have been rejected.

But McNutt told a press con-1 ferehce this will result in "only a delay," at most, in taking the family men. The general induction of fathers has been scheduled to begin about Aug. 1, but the precise time is dependent in part on the" rate of rejections of other men because of physical defects. These rejections in recent weeks have been reported by reliable sources to be running more than 50 per cent, has-" tening the time when the supply of childless men will be exhausted. McNutt said Secretary Knox, had advised him that the Navy's physical requirements have been lowered "slightly, particularly on eyesight." No details -were-available at the Navy department.

The Navy's action will have some effect on the Army, which takes most of its men now at the Navy's level of requirements although minimum standards for the Army are much lower. McNutt said no decision had been made yet on the 1944 re- quirements of the armed forces, but he indicated that if inductions-continue then at anywhere near the present rate of about 300,000 a month, steps will have to be taken to enlarge the pool of eligible men. Enlargement, he said, could come only in three ways: by fur-. ther lowering physical requirements; by congressional lowering of the minimum draft age from-18; by raising the maximum age for induction above the present figure, 37 years. "If I were guessing," he said, "I would guess it would come in the order in which I put it.

Earlier today McNutt indicated that when 1943 ends only about 22 of every 100 able-bodied fathers will still be deferred because of dependency. Others, of course, will be under occupational deferments. Washington, May 31 UP) When 1943 ends, only about 22 of every 100 able-bodied fathers will still be deferred from service because of dependency, Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt indicated tonight. Many others, however, will be deferred for occupational reasons.

McNutt said approximately men will have dependency deferments next Dec. 31. This is 9-40ths, or about 22 per cent, of the total of slightly more than 4.uuu,UU0 physically fit fathers of draft age. Slightly more than half of the 900,000 are expected to be deferred on the ground their induction would impose "undue hardship and privation" on their dependents. The rest will probably be subject to call when their order numbers are reached.

Major General Lewis B. Her-shey, chief of the War Manpower commission's Selective Service bu- reau, forecast recently that the drafting of fathers generally would begin around August 1. McNutt's prediction was incorporated in a statement reciting that military requirements will permit only some 1,500.000 able-bodied men to be deferred at year's end on grounds that they are irreplaceable holders of key industrial posts. He urged employers to file promptly manning tables and replacement schedules, which, when approved by Selective Service, furnish a time-table for induction of employes now deferred for occupational reasons.

Grantley Group Discusses Speeding Members of the Grantley Improvement association at a recent meeting discussed speeding by motorists while passing the Grantley playground.

Since the playground will be open this summer and numerous children cross Grantley road in order to get there, this represents an acute problem. No definite action has been taken by the association. However, signs denoting the approach of the playground have been placed along the highway. Arrangements are bang completed for the opening of 'the grounds for Saturday evening, June 12. At the pvesent time, swings have been installed for the children's use.
