MOVE TO SAVE

SHIPPING SPACE

New U. S.-British Board to Draft Plans for Bigger

War Cargoes.

WASHINGTON, June 10 (U. P). «A saving of 25 per cent in ocean #hipping space needed for the united nations war effort may result from the establishment of the British American war production board, authoritative sources estimated today. Further economies in scarce cargo #&pace also may be achieved through the creation of the Anglo-American food board. The two new agencies, designed to combine war and food production efforts of the two countries, were anhounced yesterday by President Roosevelt on behalf of himself and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Donald M. Nelson, war production board director, and Oliver Lyttelton, British minister of production, will

form the production board. The two members of the food board will pe Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard and R. H. Brand, chief of the British food mission here.

3 Immediate Goals

An authorized spokesman said these three objectives were the Im-| ghediate goals of the new setup 1. Saving of shipping space through allocation of production in guch a way that supplies could be moved from the producing area closest to the war theater for which they are intended. In some cases— guch as India—machine tools and equibment might be moved in to get up local manufacturing units. } 2. Standardization as far as posgible of weapons used by the united nations so that ammunition and parts would be interchangeable 3. Consideration of the total] United States-British production see] !

LAUDS HEROISM | OF STEWARDESS

Norse Ship Captain Tells of Spanish Girl's Bravery

Under Fire.

AN ATLANTIC PORT, June 10| (U. P.) —The heroism under fire of! an attractve 23-year-old stewardess | on her maiden voyage was revealed | today by the captain of a fast] Norwegian merchantman, which was torpedoed in the Atlantic by a U-boat The captain and the stewardess) were among 13 survivors picked up| by a rescue vessel after rowing 54] hours in an open lifeboat. Thirty. | four others in two lifeboats, the) 2-year-old captain said, also were believed to have been rescued. “I've only got one life to lose.” Consuelo Gonzales, who speaks only Spanish, told the captain when he instructed her to remain in a darkeened cabin with a suitcase containing the ships papers while erewmembers were manning the lifeboats. She staved there, without question or complaint, until he came after her.

Fire on Submarine

The captain explained he wanted the young stewardess to ree main in the cabin until the last possible moment in case of enemy shellfire. He was anxious to protect her because he was an “old| friend of her family,” and she had| decided to “ship along” against her) family’s wish because he had said he could not obtain boys for stew. ards’ work. Torpedoes hit the ship in the! early afternoon the captain said,| and one “sent her down by the | head” The merchantman’s gun] crew fired at the conning tower of the submarine but were unable to score a hit because of the wallow. ing of their erippled ship. As the lifeboats were manned, a torpedo struck on the port side. Later, another torpedo struck near the stern, lifting a lifeboat out of} the water and “tossing its passengers through the air like birds.” Sailors righted the lifeboat and| reloaded its passengers without loss| of life. ‘The U-boat surfaced] leisurely surveyed the scene and] then submerged without molesting! the lifeboats.

JAPS DRIVE ON IN EAST CHINA

Battle to Hold Vital Railway Line.

CHUNGEKING, June 10 (U. P)=— Heavily-reinforced Japanese infantry in Kiangsi and Chekiang prov linces pushed forward under a pro= |tective screen of planes today in a |renewed attempt to seize the 150[mile middle stretch of the Nan-lehang-Hangehow railway still in Chinese hands. Battling fiercely in Chuhsien’s suburbs and behind its walled defenses, the Chinese garrison has killed or wounded more than 7000 Japanese in fierce hand-to-hand fighting, a communique revealed. It appeared the Chinese were fighting a losing battle to hold the middle stretch of the Kiangsi= Chekiang railway, the only eastwest line in that part of China not under Japanese control.

Today's War Moves

By LOUIS F. KEEMLE Einited Press War Analyst The determined assault on Sevastopol, after more than seven months of futile siege, apparently is a German preliminary to a drive across the strait of Kerch toward the Caucasus oil fields. if Sevastopol falls—and Moscow admits the outlook is serious—a German offensive in the southern Ukraine toward Rostov may be expected soon, to form {he northern flank of the Caucasus drive. With possession of Sevastopol, the Germans would hold the entire Crimea and would have eliminated a Russian threat from their rear. They apparently are sacrificing heavily

to gain their purpose in this, their third major assault on the port. This southern operation may be only the opening phase of a gigantie summer campaign extending almost from the Arctic to the Black ea. The Ukrainian drive would be the most important, because of the oil at stake. But a new offensive against Moscow and Leningrad may be expected and also a far northern drive south of Murmansk, The offensives around Leningrad and Moscow and in the region between Moscow and the Ukraine would be designed to keep Russian strength heavily engaged there and prevent reinforcement of Marshal Timoshenko’s southern army.

The Arctic drive would be to cut the railroad line from Murmansk and jeopardize Russia's indispens=-

able flow of supplies from the allies, The attack on Leningrad most likely would be entirely from the Russian side and not down from southern Finland. Neither would the attack on the Murmansk railroad be from southern or central Finland, because a branch line skirting Onega bay at the southern end of the White sea connects it| with the railroad running from| Archangel to Moscow. It is of utmost importance to Germany to cut the railway, because it would leave only Archangel

the Arctic route. Archangel's facilities are not great enough to handle the load, and besides, it is open to navigation only during the | summer months. Hitler's recent visit to Finland undoubtedly was connected with this coming campaign, which ro-

quires that Finland stay In the Washington authorities do not believe Finland is capable of continuing in the war another winter without German help on a large scale, in food and supplies as well as men. Hitler undoubtedly promised such help to encourage. Finland not to make a separate peace. A drive for the railroad probably would be in northern Karelia. An attack on Murmansk itself would be a much more difficult operation. The forces which Hitler has in Finland already have been sent to the north. It would facilitate Hitler's operations to work from his bases in Norway. The most practical way to do so would’ be by using the railways across Sweden, For that reason, Sweden, which consistently has refused to consent to the passage of German troops in either direction, is apprehensive and

JUNE 10, 1942 REPORT PETAIN SEES AXIS FALL

‘Capital Informant Says He Holds Out Against Reprisal Threat.

WASHINGTON, June 10 (U.P.).— An authoritative informant with knowledge of what is going on in France said today that Marshall Henri Philippe Petain has changed {his previous opinion that Germany would win the war and now believes the axis eventually will be defeated. Petain, this source said, is holding out against German threats of

reprisals which even contain hints of maltreatment and starvation of the 1,500,000 French prisoners of war. The people of France, he said, fear that the expected united nations victory may be too long in coming; the babies are hungry, the mothers are worried and morale of the na-
