Nation Must
Feed World,
Speaker Says
By HAROLD L. MUELLER
Oklahoma's farm problem demands
immediate attention so this state can
join with other agricultural states of
the nation to prepare to feed the
world during a period that will follow
the war. Robert S. Kerr. Democratic
candidate for governor, said Tuesday.
The candidate emphasized and elab-
orated on one of the points he made
in a statewide radio broadcast Monday
night.

177 Convictions for Sabotage
In U. S. Reported in 10 Months
WASHINGTON, June 30.—(P)— The federal bureau of identifi-
cation has reported 177 convictions in the field of sabotage and
5.246 complaints investigated in the 10 months beginning last
July 1.
Clyde A. Tolson, assistant director, said some of the cases in-
vestigated were “aggravated cases of sabotage” but that up to
early June there had been no foreign-inspired sabotage in this

Every employe of downtown department stores will be a war

Uncle Sam's birthday will still be four days off, but gifts are

but war bonds from 12 p. m. until 12:15 p. m. Wednesday.

For 15 minutes Wednesday, downtown stores will stop selling reg-

hour to selling war bonds and stamps. Every clerk will have suf-
ficient supplies to offer all customers, in the conventional meth-
ods. But adding a sprightly note to the selling will be Mrs. Ash G.

will sell stamps done up in fancy corsages. Her customer above

"As far as the war is concerned, we
must support our commander in chief,
the president. The administration has
many enemies and I consider Mr
Busby one of them. To win the war
we've got to defeat the enemies of the
administration and the enemies of
our president.
"If Mr. Busby is against absentee
voting, I will gladly accept his chal-
lenge. If he is. I think the people in
Washington will like to know it.
"There is no effort on our part to
set up a spy system. The whole pur-
pose is merely to help the absentee
voter. In the past many voters have
failed to obtain their ballots because
they failed to provide election officials
with their home precinct number and
their home address in Oklahoma.
Election Officials Responsible
"Election officials are required by
law to charge absentee ballots sent
out to the home precinct of the ab-
sentee voter. Some absentees, in the
past, have asked for ballots nad didn’t
get them because they failed to pro-
vide this required information. Our

Declining to allow publication of ths
reports of Gen. Sir Archibald P.
Wavell, commander-in-chief in India,
on the losses of Malaya and Singa-
pore, the prime minitser said they
"clearly would cause a great deal of
ill-will throughout the British em-
pire."
Ritchie's removal did not alter the
ultimate control of Britain's forces in
the Mediterranean area since Auchin-
leek already was commander-in-chief.
British observers expressed belief
that Auchinleck was dissatisfied with
conduct of the campaign in the field,
where Ritchie was in charge, while
he presumably operated from head-
quarters in the rear.
Auchinleck, who was Wavell’s suc-
cessor in the middle east, went to the
front last November after another big
British offensive had bogged down. It
was then that Ritchie replaced Cun-
ningham. [Related News on Page 12).

"We have investigated a large num-

large number of individual agents,"
Tolson said.
As a result of investigations of gov-
ernment employes, Tolson revealed,
"a number of individuals have been
discharged from the government serv-
ice" and others charged with subver-
sive activities have resigned.
To keep in close touch with every-
one who might be in a position to

Farmer-Control Favored
Kerr advocated creation of a group
of farmer-controlled soil erosion
boards, set up by districts, with tech-
nical guidance and help furnished by
the federal and state soil conservation
services.
Scientifically-planned soil conser-
vation and diversification carried out
systematically over a long period of
years, better land management, study
of types of soil and raising of crops
suited to Oklahoma's various soils, and
the use of power machinery in agri-
culture were among the things urged
by Kerr in his statement of views on
agriculture.
He spoke approvingly of farm club
work and complimented 4-H club and
Future Fanners activities.
4-H Clubs Praised
"I want to see a 4-H club in reach
of every farm boy and girl in the
state," he said "This organization
has brought credit and honor to Okla-
homa.
"I want to see vocational agriculture
in every highschool in Oklahoma
where the local community will co-
operate. The Future Farmers of
America are setting an example of
achievement unequalled anywhere in
the nation.
"I want to see a vocational home
economics department in every high-
school in the state where the local
board will aid.
"I pledge the farm people of Okla-
homa that every effort will be made
by me as governor to achieve these
ends."

almost as important. A rocket cannon
is, by comparison with other artillery,
always lighter, always can be moved
faster from place to place and ma-
neuvered or manipulated easier.
Putting the rocket jets on airplane
bombs serves three purposes, all com-
bining to make them more deadly
than any other type of bomb. The |
London Daily Mail describes two of
these in a report of the recent experi-
ence of the great Mediterranean con-
voys to Malta and to Tobruk.
* * *
tT says the bombs strike with greater
1 accuracy and velocity Before the
rocket wings were added, all bombs
were limited to a definite top speed,
by the resistance of the air, a velocity
far under that of an armor piercing
shell.
The rocket jets bv speeding the
bombs make it possible theoretically,
and the Mail Dispatch indicates ac-
tually, to hit more accurately because
the bomb gets there quicker.
The higher speed means greater
penetration, probably enough for the ,
rocket bomb to begin menacing even
battleships the same as the big gun
shells. Italian experiments on ordi-
nary bomb dropping, just before this
war began, showed that even a 2,000
pound bomb, built in the armor pierc-
ing shape, would penetrate less than
four Inches of steel.
That was not enough to penetrate
the armor, even deck protection, of
the newer battleships.
The third advantage of these rocket
bombs is their ability to travel some-
what like a baseball thrown on a level
parallel with the ground. Planes can
pitch them ahead into large-size tar-
get areas without having to get above
the anti-aircraft guns.
Finally, the London June 18 dis-
patches describe such bombs on axis
planes fixed beneath the plane and
aimed by pointing the plane's nose di-
rectly at the target.
