_lowa Proves Battleship Worth, Nery Says
WASHINGTON, Aug. 84(U. P.).—
\ The navy, today reaffirmed its belief that the battleship.is here to
stay by citing the world war II record of the 45,000-ton Iowa. This “first lady of the 3d fleet,” the navy sald, has proven in two and a half years that “the mighty new type battleships have a very definite and important role to play in a modern navy.” Vice. Adm. E. L. Cochrane, chief of the naval ‘bureau-ef ships, said the Iowa, first of four 45,000-ton battleships of her class to be commissioned, had traveled close to 150,000 miles since January, 1044,
without suffering more than “mod-
erate damage from enemy fire. The damage occurred off Mille atoll in the Marshal islands, Japanese shore batteries scored two hits, one shelk landing on a main battery turret, the other against the side of the ship. The navy said no fires were started and no men killed. Yet the Iowa has seen plenty of action, the navy added. Salvoes from her 16-inch guns have dueled with shore guns on Ponape, Saipan,

Tinian and more recently have blasted the Japanese homeland. The report said the Iowa incorporated the highest skill and most forward advances of naval architecture and engineering.

‘Cheap’ Shoes Get
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (U, P.).— In a new effort to stimulate manufacture of low cost shoes, the government today authorized makers to produce as many low-priced shoes as they wish.

'Heaven-Sent' Tires Returned
VINCENNES, Aug. 8 (U.P.).—An Indiana farmer had returned two “heaven-sent” tires to their owner today, Ben Clouser thought an act of providence: had given him two truck tires Monday night. He heard a loud crash and rushed out to find the large tires in his barnyard. Yesterday, the happy farmer thought he'd better notify the sheriff's “office about the incident. Sheriff Deputy Frank Clark had a more concrete explanation, He found Quinten Eilert of Indianapolis looking for two missing tires. A nut holding the tires on: a dual tandem truck driven by Eilert had become loosened. The tires rolled through an alfalfa field, tore down a grape arbor and plunged into Clouser’'s barn.
