‘Outstrips All Others’
"Information Minister Brendan Bracken, commenting on the government report, cited its findings as proof that Britain's war effort has outstripped that of any other belligerent power, Britain, he sald, not only provided most of the arms and munitions for the empire, but also, through its early expenditures, helped the United States to enter the war with her industries on “something like a wartime footing.” “When the wat started, we had large gold reserves in the United States,” he added. “These have all been paid ovér and the money spent in building up American munitions industries.”
Small Return to U. 8.
That contribution to the Unitéd States, he said, was “a small return for her tremendous generosity to us.” Britain’s production achievements also- were praised in commons by Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who declared that the British armies now in the fleld will have sufficient ammunition to fight the coming battles if present schedules are maintained. The white paper disclosed that British war workers, living under direct attack almost continuously since the beginning of the war, have turned out about 70 per cent of the munitions produced by or made available to the British empire,
The official report showed that
Britain's war spending has reached
the astronomical height of $634 per|second, and that the proportion of her population mobilized for war is perhaps greater than that of any
other belligerent power, Other Statistics Revealed
Other statistios, revealed now only| because the war has progressed to the point where absolute secrecy is no longer essential, included: ONE—Britain’s armed forces now number 4,500,000 men and 500,000 women out of a total population of about 47,000,000. TWO—More than one-third of all
"men in the United Kingdom between
the ages of 14 and 64 are under arms, and almost half the women between 14 and 59 are in the armed forces, full-time oivil defense or] industry, THREE—By the close of 1043 Britdin had lost 11,500,000 tons of shipping, two-thirds of the tonnage with which she entered the war, FOUR—Casualties in the armed forces of Great Britain alone num-

hopes that Mr. Hull will be able to contribute to the ultimate formation of a peace organization. In accepting. Mr. Hull's resignation, Mr, Roosevelt told the yeteran statesman? “I shall continue to pray that you as the father of the united nations may preside over its first session. That has nothing to do with whether you are secretary of state or not at the time, but should go to you as the one person in all the world who has done the most to make this greaf plan for peace an’ effective fact.” Mr. Connally told reporters he believed it conceivable that President Roosevelt might desigriate Hull as chairman of the American dele.|eation to a united nations confernee, regarafess of the resignation.
Segks Successor. Almost immediately after his nomination, Mr. Stettinius turned to the task of finding a successor for himself as undersecretary of state. It was believed that he would call upon a veteran career diplomat for the department's second highest post in view of his own relatively recent entrance into the diplomatic world. Heading such a list would be Norman Armour, 57, head of the department’s office of American republic affairs, whose 32 years in the foreign service have taken him to most major capitals of the world. Speculation also centers on others

In the production field, British aircraft plants, operating under strict blatkout conditions and frequently under attack, produced 10,018 heavy bombers, 2389 of them in the first half of 1944 compared with only 41 in all of 1940. Fighter plane production has now reached 940 planes a month. In Britain's special field, ship construction, the white paper re-
vealed that 722 major warships
were built in the five war years along with 5022 other vessels.

minutes later, torpedoes in the hangar deck started to explode. The flight deck buckled and the elevators blew up. Positions in the carrier's nerve center—the island—soon became untenable because of smoke and at 10:10 a. m. Capt. Buracker ordered all personnel except fire fighting and damage control to abandon ship. Two cruisers—the Birmingham and Reno—and four destroyers had been left behind by the task group, which had gone on to continue strikes against Luzon. At that time, the Princeton was about 150 miles off Manila. . Aided by the other ships, the men left on the, Princeton . soon had the fire on the hangar deck pretty well under control. At 3:15 p. m. there was a terrific explosion. At this time Capt. John Hoskins of Bethesda, Md, who was scheduled to take over command of the Princeton; was on the flight deck with Capt. Buracher. “I saw Hoskins lying on the deck, his leg hanging by a shred,” the skipper said. “A doctor got there and amputated the leg with’ a knife. Hoskins told me: ‘Take her home Bill, you deserve to’.” (Capt. Hoskins now is recovering in Philadelphia.) All remaining personnel abandoned ship. Capt. left at 4:40 p. m. “The Princeton still was floating on an even keel,” he said. “I wanted to tow her home.” Then the word that Capt. Buracker had dreaded came—the Princeton was to be sunk and the other ships were to rejoin their task group. At 5:50 p. m. torpedoes dug into the carrier's plates and she

American planes behind the front on July 24. Finally, the German radio admitted Rommel's death, from in-

C.1 O. Mr. Green and the executive council casually urged that “those who have “left the house of labor return.” The perennial peace gesture was expected to strike sparks when it comes to the -floor, with Matthew Woll, head of the resolutions committee and a strong supporter of the movement, heading an attack on the “stubborness” of other A. F. of L. leaders. Although the rival organization was not mentioned by name, the gesture was an obvious reference to the C. I. O. A resolution asking for a 30-hour work week after the war was adopted at yesterday's session, and on the schedule for approval today was a resolution to brand as “unfair” to union labor products of Florida and Arkansas, states where the closed shop was outlawed in recent constitutional amendments. Jurisdictional disputes also were on the calendar for today, including the threat of .the Machinists to withdraw from the A. F. of L., as they did in 1943. The machinists have charged other unions with “raiding” and discrimination. Other resolutions adopted by the convention yesterday urged the repeal of the Smith-Connally law,
ers and removal of non-union laborers from construction jobs, abolishment of the poll tax, salary increases for postal workers and other government workers, and a provision for longevity pay for federal employees. The driveto organize all undrganized women workers into the A. F. of L. was approved also, with stress laid on legislation to provide equal pay for equal work by women.

State highway 40 probably would serve as a natural dividing line separating the north and south barracks jurisdiction, Mayor Killian said. Under the proposed realignment, each post would be in closer contact with state headquarters through its commanding officers, As it now stands, Capt. Eckert supervises the 10 posts scattered throughout the state, This is “too big a job” in the opinion of Mayor Killian, Whether each of the posts would be directed by captains also depends, said Mayor Killian, on state laws applying to the creation of high-ranking officers.

The weather was clear and cold over, the Cologne front, enabling Thunderbolt and Lightning dive bombers to give the 1st and 9th armies close support for the third straight day. Several groups of medium bombers also flew low over the front to blast German positions behind the lines. First army troops drove into Inden, three miles northeast of Weisweiler and six miles northwest of Duren, and into the: village of Lamersdorf, a mile south of Inden. They also were fighting in’ Jungersdorf, a mile southeast of Langerwehe. A front dispatch said the Germans had thrown in paratroopers and volksgrenadies as infantry in an attempt to stem the 1st army drive.
