closed number of uncompleted ships has been converted into carriers. Since the start of the war in the Pacific, air power has played the dominant role at sea. The Pearl Harbor debacle was executed by carrier-based planes. Aircraft sank the British battleships Prince of

Wales and Repulse off Malaya. In the battle of the Coral sea, the

Midway battle and now the battle of the Aleutian islands,

aireraft caused nearly all the damage.

Perfeet Co-ordination It is reported that in the battle

of the Coral sea, surface vessels did

not make contact, It will not be surprising to find, when the facts of the engagement just reported by the Italians in the Mediterranean are known, that aircraft had the principal role. A striking feature of the May and

June battles in the Pacific has been

the perfect co-ordination of the army, navy and marine air forces with the fleet. Land=based planes played a major part in conjunction with the ear rier planes. The navy used. landbased planes as well as the army and marine corps.

Filling stations and oil companies, serving as buyers and collectors of old rubber, were praised by Petro= leum Co-ordinator Harold IL. Ickes for their vigor and speed in organizing the drive. “The oil industry is doing a magnificent job,” My. Ickes said. “With only three days’ notice,” he explained, “the petroleum industry organized and was ready to gO ahead by opening time Monday morning.” One company offered a $1000 prize to the service station with the largest rubber collection in the two weeks’ campaign, ! Myr. fekes said, however, that it was too early to forecast the amount of rubber that will he collected.

However, the budget provided for wage increases for employees works ing on the hour basis, ranging from 5 to 10 cents an hour. “The total payroll for next year will be lower than this year even with the wage increases because of the reduction in park work,” Mr, Joseph said. Several weeks ago the board adopted resolutions, reducing mile= age of the department's trucks and passenger cars to conserve tires. “As a result of this program we will have tires enough to last two of three years,” Mr. Joseph said.
