fThe following t* another in a serie* of articles prepared »y the Civilian Defense Unit Lead-rs i What To Do in An Air Raid 1. If away from home, get to the nearest shelter, get off the street and don't lie a gawker. 2. If you are driving. pa-X your car at the curb, be sure the lights are off and leave your key in the car. 3 If you are home, go to the refuge room. RemeiWtM-r this should be a comfortable room wiih as little window space a* possible.

Don't rush out as soon ax the ail clear signal sound*. Wai' a few minute*. The raider* might return. 10. Use your telephone as little as possible11. If you have a report to make get in touch with your nearest auxiliary policeman or air raid warden. 12. Be cool and set an example for others.

Axis Propagandists Relate Jap 'Victory' Say Midway Battle Triumph For Japs i By United Press) Reports ot the Midway island '■ battle went through the Axis propa- ' gahda mills today and . merged as a Japanese victory which had ter--1 rorixed the United States and sent i its fleet to refuge at American Patrifle ports. As part of the milling process, some European countries — like Vichy. France —suppressed even Japanese official admissions of losses publishing only Japanese claims of American losses. "Sword at throat of United states," coletnnly headlined the Berlin Boersen Zeltung It said the Japanese attack had taken away the breath of "usually loquacious" Washington and London. "It will take time and ingenuity i to invent effective lies," It eaid, "as j the Aleutian islands are so near the I'nited States continent that their occupation by the Japanese ; will soon be felt." The Axis tried to make jt appear that a big Japanese army had occupied the entire Aleutians and w-re there to stay In preparation to occupying the I'nited States. "The sen-atlonal Japanese assault on the Aleutians not only has struck a demoralizing blow to the I'nited States outer ring of far flung-defense outposts but has comp- lied the American navy to scurry back for refuge to the western ; const ot the United States," the Tokyo newspaper Chugai Shogo : said. it failed to mention that Midway is 1,100 miles nearer Tokyo than It is. via Hawaii to San Francisco. Further, said Chugai Shogo as If In afterthought, the possibility of American air raids on Japan proper had been lessened immeasurably. To track this it repeated the Japanese claim tliat two American ; aircraft carriers had been sunk. "I , iy* hologicaHy. the Japanese assault cil the Aleutians, coupled with the raid on Midway island, must have struck terror into American hearts for Its sheer boldness," the newspaper said, "The attacks completely exposed the vulnerability of American naval defense, a fact which American leader* have been seeking to shield from the American public." Then, getting down to the bad news. Chugai Shogo said that

I though the Japanese losses in the "latest engagement” were admittedly the largest since !he outbreak ot the war. they would appear light when contrasted with the extensive scope of successful Japanese naval operations. — o RUSH PLANS FOR (Continued From Pag* 1) collection drive is designed to head off nationwide gasoline rationing as a rubber conservation measure. If enough scrap rubber is found, there Is hope that it will not be necessary to curb driving to save tires In states where enough gasoline lx available. Mr Roosevelt discussed the rubber and gasoline situations yexter day with Nelson, petroleum coordinator Harold L. Ickes, price administrator Leon Henderson, and Archibald MacLelsh, director of the office of facts and figures. Mac!*elsh said the White House statement on the scrap rubber drive would be issued today Indications were that the 12.000 salvage committees set up under a projected WPB campaign to called all scarce material* Would administer the rubber drive.
