And his d-sense of the air commander reveals for the flrst time that the United States had only 107 usable planes In the Philippines when the Japs attacked in 11*41. MacArthur does not reveal the origin of the attacks on Brereton. but they're understood to have been published In the United States. Brereton now commands the United States middle eastern forces.

Eric Johnson Warns Os Inflation Danger United States C. C. Head Gives Warning Washington. June 25. — (UP) — The president of the United State* Chamber of Commerce says the home front situation holds out hopes of victory to the Axis. In a radio broadcast, Eric Johnson. warned that the threat of inflation hangs over the land like the sword of Damocles. He decried the food situation, charged that the manpower situation Is a mess, and criticised the failure to formulate an adequate tax policy. The nation's number one business men declared that the dangers of the domestic economic crisis cannot be overemphasised. Johnson placed much of the blame on Washington officials. But he said there are too many people throughout the land who allow other intereats to come ahead of winning the war. Johnson specifically recommended that the administration of food production and prices be revamped drastically. He also declared that the recently created office of war mobilisation must be made to work, or. be said, "economic disorganisation will eventually extend to the fronts." ONE ARREST (Continued ffrem Wags 1) charged with the latter offense, but the charge was quashed when they leans-d that Heare had said he was driving to “take the rap" for Howell, who had no license. o ■ — Willshirs U.

New England and western senators rallied to senator Clark's position after Clark promised to exempt subsidies on transportation of oil. gas and coal to the >?ast Clark also promised not to Interfere with the subsidy for copper production—an Issue close to the heart of the western delegation. Two other moves hav- also been calculated to defeat the subsidy program. One —sponsored by senators Aiken of Vermont and Gillett of lowa — would forbid the establishment of maximum prices on agricultural products below support prices announc-d by the agriculture department. It would also forbid the use of subsidies to reduce or roll back such maximum prices The other la the banking committee amendment which would limit payment of subsldh-s to 1500.000.000 by the RFC and 51*5.000,000 by the CCC The in tenttow la to allow funds for the coffee, meet and butter rollbacks —which hav eelready been announced—but to prevent further rollbacks without specific consent from congress, thus taking the power to plan for rollbacks away from the OPA. Meanwhile, the war food administration reports that the country faces an Increasing shortage of beef, despite record numbers of catth on farms and ranges Both government and private livestock and slaughter officials expect the shortage to become more acute before things get better. o ■■ Indict Sullivan Man As Slayer Os Brother Sullivan, ind..
