Already working a full schedule on far-flung fronts, the most active service seen by these tough, lethal Jjackrabbits, the more new uses are found for them. Rookies use them to deliver messages, generals to inspect troops. With a few changes, they make first-rate ambulances that will haul four casualties. Low silhouette gives them front-line advantages. In battle, they can be used as weapon carriers. With a 30 or 50caliber machine gun mounted on them, they become highly mobile and effective weapons. against ground troops or planes. They lug 37-mm. anti-tank guns without a whimper. Engineers at Willys-Overland Motors, builder of standard design army jeeps, believe the bouncing broncs’ uses are relatively unex-

U.S. OPENS 1ST FLIGHT STR

Runway on n East Coast Is 7000 Feet-Long and 150 Feet Wide.

WASHINGTON, July 2 (U. P.).—

| The nation’s first “flight strip,” a

concrete runway 7000 feet long and 150 feet wide designed as an integral part; of American air defense, was opened yesterday by the army air forces and the public roads administration. Located “somwhere in the middle Atlantic seaboard,” the strip will serve as a dispersal point for long flights by planes transporting supplies and equipment as well as a pase for interceptor craft guarding against possible enemy air attacks. The army has completed studies on. about 80 .additional sites for flight strips, and construction already has begun on several. A flight strip can be constructed much more cheaply than a large air base be-

cause a single runway is used and large hangars are unnecessary.

Important in Peace

It is anticipated that such installations will be important to peacetime aviation when their wartime use is no longer necessary. They will provide landing facilities for commercial feeder airlines connecting points not served by regular airline service, and will furnish refuge for planes forced down by bad weather or mechanical difficulties. In addition, they will provide ground facilities essential to future increase in private flying. A ceremony at the opening demonstrated that flight strips may be

Foe Broadcasts f ° Vt O'Daniel Speech COLUMBUS, Tex, July 2 (U. P.).—James V. Allred, former govsrnor of Texas, broadcasts the recorded speech of his opponent, Senator Lee O'Daniel, in his primary election campaign for the senatorial nomination. “I tried to see the President,” the O’Daniel recording says, “but he left town the day before I got here. Maybe he got the idea he had better hide out and take to the high seas.” Allred, announcing the record ing will feature all his meetings until the election on July 25, said that when O’Daniel went to Washington, President Roosevelt actually was on the high seas, but not hiding from the Texas senator. He was holding his historic conference with Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

MELBOURNE, July 2 (Australian Broadcast Recorded by U.

The story was told today by a correspondent at an advanced allied base. The American, Pvt. Glenn D. Frizzle, said the wounded Australian was the pluckiest man he ever met.

“All Right, Mate”

“I could see he was in a pretty bad way,” Frizzle said. “When he handed me the extinguisher he interrupted his song long- enough, to say, ‘all right; mate.”

Australian folk can’t do enough for them. They are proving agreeable companions for Uncle Sam’s fighting lads. Their outlook is democratic, they enjoy good living conditions, dress well, and aim at getting the best that life has to offer.

GOEBBELS UNMOVED BY ‘SECOND FRONT

BERLIN, July 2 (German Broadcast Recorded in New York by United Press).—Talk of “ChurchilI’s second front does not interest us any more,” Reich Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels said today in his weekly publication “Das Reich.” “What is of interest alone is that everywhere they have to be, German soldiers are waiting and longing to give Churchill’s soldiers a warm welcome,” he wrote. Thinking that Britain can lose all ‘its battles and still win a final victory, Goebbels wrote, is like a football team ‘defeated in all preliminary matches believing it will be able to win the cup in the finals. An attempt to invade would be a worse catastrophe for Britain than Dunkirk, he said, “for now we have better trump cards.”

He will find cinemas - theaters showing the same class of movies and talkies in Australia that he saw before he left his own homeland, for most of the films shown in Australia come from U, S. A.

The difference in currencies will set him the problem of translating dollars | and cents into shillings and pence, but this is easily learned after a few practical experiences in the money-changing line.

OCD Workers Killed

Senator Robert A, Taft (R. O) questioned whether the prospects of danger would deter a man from joining the OCD. Mr. Landis said that seven ocD workers have been killed and 33 “seriously injured” “during. the course of their work. He quoted statistics from England where 35,000 civilian defense workers have drawn compensation for injuries. “I believe the cost of continuing a civilian army should be Sain. tained by the whole country,” Landis said.
