This Week In Defense

NAVY, SHIPS-Fourteen new ships were launched in "Liberty Fleet Day" ceremonies held at shipyards on Saturday, September 27, at Baltimore, Md., Los Angeles, Cal., Richmond, Cal., Portland, Ore., Quincy, Mass., Chester, Pa., Kearny, N. J., Pascagoula, Miss., Seattle, Wash., and Wilmington, Del. The Navy announced launching of the battleship Massachusetts and three destroyers-the Hambleton, Rodman and Emmons. PRIORITIES - Priorities Director Nelson limited production of spare parts for passenger automobiles and light trucks for the period September 15-December 31, 1941 to 60 per cent of the number sold during the first six months this year. SPAB said it will extend to American industry assistance in obtaining repair parts. ANTI-AXIS "BLACK LIST"-The State Department added 300 South American firms and in- dividuals to the original Anti-Axis "Black List" of 1,800 names and deleted 65 names where corrective action had been taken since 1917. The new additions included, "one French" and "Lati," a French and an Italian air line, and the German news agency "Transocean." Firms placed on the blacklist are automatically deprived of American oil and gasoline and other supplies from this country. AGRICULTURE - Agriculture Secretary Wickard told North- eastern farm leaders and agricultural workers Britain will need between now and June 30, 1942 cheese, evaporated milk and dried skim milk that will require processing of four and one-half billion pounds of milk; a billion and a half pounds of pork and lard; about 500 million dozen eggs; 18 million pounds of poultry meat and quantities of tobacco, vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables. He said the British need a minimum of $1,- 000,000 in food between now and February 28, 1942. SPAB announced special attention will be given provision of equipment necessary for expanding dairy production to meet domestic and British requirements. The Agriculture Department said total income from farm marketings will reach $10,000,- 000,000 in 1941. PRICES-Labor Secretary Perkins said food prices continued to rise during the first half of September with biggest increases in pork chops, lard, eggs and milk. Price Administrator Henderson said eviction proceedings had been begun by "unscrupulous" landlords in various parts of the country against tenants who complained or threatened to complain of rent increases to their local rent committee. INFLATION, CONTROL, TAX-ATION - The Federal Reserve Board increased reserve cash requirements for member banks by about one-seventh, to the present lawful limit. The Board said the action will not prevent credit for defense needs and all legitimate requirements. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau announced his staff has started work on legislation to limit corporation profits to six per cent of invested capital for the duration of the emergency. He said the profit motive in war ought to be eliminated entirely. He said the move would also head off the inflationary trend. Farm Credit Administration Governor Black asked a Washington meeting of leading farm leaders to prevent a speculative boom in farm real estate such as brought bankruptcy to thousands of farmers after the World War. He suggested: (1) Basing all appraisals in connection with loans on normal values; (2) impressing prospective borrowers with the wisdom of using higher income available now to payment of existing debts; (3) encouraging savings to meet future debts; (4) avoiding fostering speculative increases in production without discouraging necessary shifts in production. WOMEN AND ARMY MORALE -Mrs. William P. Hobby, chief of the women's section of the War Department, speaking in New York, said: "Let us stop talking about the hard lot of the enlisted men. Every possible provision for the welfare of our soldiers is being made as quickly as is humanly pos- sible. Let us also top, 'Oh, you poor thing, o you're in the Army away from your family and friends?' . . . Keep your handkerchief in your pocket. Instead, invite him home to meet your sons and daughters." SELECTIVE SERVICE-Selective Service Headquarters asked local boards to assure college students who are expected to be called for service before the middle of the college semester they will be granted postponement until they finish the semester. Students preparing for essential defense occupations, headquarters said, should be deferred. U. S. Planes far exceed any others in the world. PRODUCTION - Assistant Attorney General Arnold, speaking at Yosemite, Cal., said "there is not an organized basic industry in the United States which has not be restricting production . . to avoid what they fear may be ruinous over-production after the war. . . . Most of our shortages are due by optimistic predictions about supplies." Mr. Arnold also said "a few strategically located labor unions have the power to American consumer one billion dollars a year through labor restrictions on production by strikes and boycotts for illegiti- mate purposes, price-fixing, restricting territory, and the elimination of small competitors and either combination of hold up huge industries in the struggle to determine which of two unions shall dominate the field." SMALL BUSINESS - Director Odlum of the Contract Distribution Division announced between 100 and 200 officers to help small shops and business men get defense work will be opened soon. Already scheduled are offices in Hartford, Conn., Providence, R. I., Newark, N. J., Salt Lake City, Utah, Columbus, Ohio, Indianapolis, Ind., Rochester and Albany, N. Y., Portland, Me., Springfield Ill., Springfield, Mass., Trenton, N. J., Wichita, Kan., and Spokane, Wash. Existing offices at Harrisburg, Wilkes-Barre and Allentown, Pa., will be enlarged, and the present 39 offices of the abnormal Defense Contract Service will continue to operate, he said. Mr. Odlum asked 56 major defense contractors to appoint "farming out" directors to co-ordinate to re-routing defense work among smaller firms. He said prominent defense contracts with five aluminum war companies forced to abandon civilian production by shortages and priorities. Contracts such as these to avoid community hardships would be negotiated up to 15 per cent above minimum prices, performance bonds can be waived and bid splits allowed to enable pools of small firms to obtain contracts for "bits and prices." ARMY PREPAREDNESS STATUS-Assistant War Secretary McCloy, speaking in Jackson, Mich., said the U. S. has an army and an air force" in the sense that one is in process of production. Some of its elements are advanced in training, a few . . . Yet that army is just becoming an army. . . He said the army has its full amount of the fundamental weapons-rifles, bayonets, machine guns, mortars, grenades -but does not have its full equipment of light and medium tanks, anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons He said there is sufficient equipment for training, but heavy production wil lnot come until this winter or next spring. He said the Army has much more to learn about the tank-plane team-the tank-plane combinations and "we still have a long way to go in our co-ordination between air and the ground, but we are beginning in earnest in Louisiana now." He said plane production "at this time is still not satisfactory as a result of shortages in manufacturing facilities and especially raw materials, but it is coming up." He said several

MOVIE STAR JOINS U. S. NAVY

Wayne Morris, recent star of "I Wanted Wings," became a member of Uncle Sam's Navy in May, 1941, when he was appointed to the rank of Ensign. When asked what he thought of the United States Navy, Morris said, "I think every man who is considering joining a military service should look into the 'chance of a lifetime' which the Navy and Naval Reserve offer to get into the big-pay field of the future-aviation. In the Navy you can attend the finest flight training schools in the world, and receive instruction from Navy pilots who introduced dive bombing, aircraft carriers and catapult take-offs to the rest of the world. Also, there are opportunities in Naval Aviation for men who don't want to fly. They can be trained as aviation machinists, metalsmiths, photographers, observers, or they can receive instruction in many other trades. It's a great life in the Navy." Ensign Wayne Morris is pictured here in his line of duty as a member of the Naval Aviation Cadet Selection Board at the Long Beach Naval Reserve Air Base.

Safety Drive Launched by Charles Tutan

A long list of automobile fatalities involving fatalities which only recently caused Dade County to be ranked second in the entire United States in traffic deaths per 10,000 population, has led to the inauguration of a joint Broward and Dade County "Safe Driving" campaign, sponsored by Dodge and Plymouth car and truck dealers in Miami, Coral Gables and Fort Lauderdale, it was announced by Dodge officials today. Charlie Tutan, president of Tutan Motors of Coral Gables, distributors of Dodge and Plymouth cars and Dodge trucks for this city, was first to endorse and apply the newest safety campaign, when approached by John Jones, president of the corporation bearing his name in Miami. I. H. "Andy" Anderson, president of Anderson Motors, Inc., and Broward Dodge dealers, together with Tutan and Jones, form the background of the present safety drive which has full approval of city, county and state authorities, it was said. Commencing this week end, Tutan Motors, through its entire personnel and many friends, will commence distribution of several thousand oval windshield stickers bearing the legend: "Avoid Accidents-Save a Life! - Drive Safely-in blue letters on a yellow background. As an additional urge to safe car and truck operation, Tutan Motors will award a handsome gold plated trophy 19 inches tall, bearing aloft the safety insignia of the American Red Cross, to the firm or individual who, in the opinion of the judges (yet to be named) contributes the most outstanding act or idea conducive to safe driving for the balance of this year. The trophy will be awarded publicly by a nationally known stage, screen or radio star during the Orange Bowl Festival in January, it was stated.

Here Are a Few 'Better Nots' To Preserve U. S. Good Will

In the past, many travelers from the United States, by their behavior while abroad, haven't left a particularly good impression of their homeland in the countries visited. Will the same be true of their travels in the "other Americas?" Here are some "Better Nots" which might be considered-in the interest of building up goodwill-by those of us who contemplate visiting the southern republics: Better not talk too much about our big cities, our educational institutions, our modern ways of life. In the first place, it's a bit ridiculous to boast-any time, anywhere. In the second place, the cities in the southern republics have a charm that few of our own metropolises possess. Several of their universities antedate all of ours-San Marcos University in Lima, Peru, opened its doors about eighty years before Harvard was founded. And -modern or not-life is lived both graciously and well by our southern neighbors. Better not try to step up the tempo of the Latin Americans. It's their country. We are their guests. They resent, very naturally, the rush-it-through, go-getting methods some of us attempt to employ down there. Better not dress too casually -Latin Americans lean toward the conventional in dress. No need to remind us that the men do not appears in public sans coat, or collar, or tie; and the women wear inconspicuous costumes on the street-always with hats, and usually with jackets or coats. And, of course, women never enter a church without head covering, and men always remove their hats. Better not ignore the temperature and altitudes. Stop for the noonday siesta-it's necessary in southern climes. When you're visiting skytop cities, move slowly, eat slowly, drink slowly, and retire early. Let the people who live there be the pace-setters. This all may sound inconsequential-but is it?

Mrs. Sudlow Honored At Party

Hibiscus blossoms decorated the tea table and individual cards, for guests attending the homecoming tea of the Elizabeth Williams Society Bible Class of the First Presbyterian Church Wednesday. The party honoring the teacher, Mrs. Sudlow, and all past presidents of the class, established 11 years ago, was held in the patio Franz Josef Bollinger, co-hostess. Major, accompanist for Fritz Jansen, sang a group of songs; also Miss Edith Trea, soprano. Alternating at the tea urns were Mrs. Walter Pierce, Mrs. Frank Raco, Mrs. Oscar Charles and Mrs. Robert L. Farmer, one of the past presidents of the class. Mrs. Reginald Woodcock had charge of the guest book.

WRITES FASHION COLUMN

Writing a fashion column for the "Flambeau" and being one of the 35 out of 625 F. S. C. W. freshman in advanced English class, are the honors that Margery Loomis, last year's editor of the "Cavaleon" and Tribune staff member for three years, has already captured at college.

The University of Miami first opened its doors in October, 1926.

Miami Faces Rollins Tars Here Tonight

Continued from Page One pound line, boasting such stars as Captain Tom Kearns at tackle, the flashy sophomore George Gagliardi at the other tackle, a great end in Joe Krouits, a great center in Paul Carifeo and a sophomore guard find, Al Adler, and a backfield which has in Russell Coates, junior, a standout. Coates gained 110 yards in eight runs against Tampa and tossed a 34-yard touchdown pass. Red Tobin, Howard Plasman, smashing fullback, and Al Kasulin are other Miami backfield aces. Tampa, other member of the state's little three, should get back into the winning column the same night against Erskine, barring a quite possible letdown, following the Florida and Miami games. Florida's Gators, incidentally, go northward to play Maryland in College Park and should win this one.
