LOUIS KELSCH & SONS at the BOOTERIE 124 WEST CENTER ALLIES REPULSE COUNTER-BLOWS CAIRO, July 24 (UP) Imperial ajrtillery and armored cars pa trols are harrasslng Axis troops in the northern and central sectors sec-tors of the Alameln front after consolidating positions won in the British advance Wednesday, a communique said today. The southern front remained quiet. Allied planes were active throughout yesterday, the communique com-munique said, and fighters shot down six planes which they intercepted, inter-cepted, including four Stuka dive bombers, a Messerschmitt fighter and an enemy reconnaissance bomber. Light bombers made a series of attacks on targets in the central sector, at present the key to the front, and fighter-bombers attacked at-tacked gun positions and vehicles in the same area. British fighters shot down two Axis planes in minor air activity over Malta, the communique said. Loss of five British planes were admitted in all operations, and the pilot of one of these was known safe. JAPANESE (Continued from Page One) saw the raid from the concentration concentra-tion camp in which Americans and other foreigners were held. Tokyo had been undergoing a series of air defense drills when the United States army air corps bombers under Brig.-Gen. James Doolittle droned in from the sea. At the time, there happened to be no defense drill and for the first time in its 2,600 years of history his-tory Tokyo rocked under the impact im-pact of bombs. The American aviators concentrated concen-trated their attack on the Tokyo factory districts. Damage, including that from fires, was described as moderately moderate-ly heavy. A single plane which flew over the Imperial palace, in the heart of the city, drew fire from the anti-aircraft guns emplaced in the big grounds. Although the plane made no attempt to drop bombs, the mere fact that the plane flew over the palace, it was reported, caused an internal political crisis because the Emperor was endangered. 780 Experts Lost It was early in May, according to the reports I have received, that a United States navy submarine subma-rine sank the liner Taiyo Maru, 14,457 tons. With the liner, there went to the bottom of the sea the entire personnel of a department of the great Mitsui Industrial company 780 technical experts on their way southward to organize "new resources" in the Pacific areas seized by Japan. , The story of the final hours before be-fore Pearl Harbor is that the war lords of the Japanese army kept from Emperor Hirohito the final urgent appeal which President Roosevelt directed to him that peace might be preserved between the United States and Japan. According to my information, the Japanese army qensors delayed de-layed the president's appeal for at least 12 hours. The result was that it was impossible im-possible for Joseph Clark Grew, the United States ambassador, to see the Emperor before the war lorda had arranged the declaration of war.

RED ARMY I Continued from Page One) busy again during the last 24 hours, with the RAF attacking the German Ruhr and Rhine industrial in-dustrial sectors and shooting down seven of about 40 enemy planes that attacked England last night. But there still was no new indication that the Allies were preparing for an early second sec-ond front in Europe to aid the hard-pressed Russians. Adolf Hitler's headquarters in the east announced the capture of Rostov in "hard fighting," and said that the mopping up of remaining re-maining Russian forces in the area was under way. Similar Claim Before However, the Germans on July 7, made a similar claim in regard to Voronezh, 290 miles north of Rostov, but now 17 days after that claim they still are battling to take the city and appear to have lost ground in several sectors sec-tors before hammering Soviet attacks. at-tacks. Today's Russian high command communique told of hard fighting around Rostov and left no doubt as to the desperate nature of the situation there, with the Germans slicing in from Taganrog to the west, from the Voronshilovgrad region to the north, and down in a curving arc around Novocherkassk Novocher-kassk at the confluence of the Don and Donets rivers 32 miles northeast north-east of Rostov.

The bill was passed, 134 to 19, but only after a small. group of southern" representatives fought it so vigorously that supporters charged they were carrying on a "filibuster." Rep. John Jennings, R., Tenn., bluntly charged that the "real purpose of the opposition is to continue to draw the bar sinister across the brow of the negro citizen." citi-zen." The bill assures soldiers, marines and sailors in the United States and Alaska an opportunity to vote in the congressional elections if they are qualified as voters in their states. To get an "official war ballot," however, they must swear that they are "qualified."

A 5,000-ton enemy transport believed to have been carrying munitions, was bombed and set afire, while the dive-bombers attacked buildings and landing barges at Gona.

SHIPBUILDER (Continued from Page One) grounds that there is a shortage of steel. Higgins, who has denied de-nied existence of such a shortage, said that "this cancellation comes not from a shortage of steel but because of my unbridled tongue." Higgins told the sub-committees he had complained that American L&hips were not adequately defend ed against the submarine menace and that such comments had been considered "lese majeste." He charged that some American seamen sea-men were on vessels carrying guns which "cannot be deflected" to fire on a submarine. O ANSWERS TO WAR QUIZ Questions on Page Four 1.

This restatement of the OPA policy pol-icy is deemed necessary at this time in view of the need of saving sav-ing all of the fruit crops which are ripening throughout the country, coun-try, according to Gus P. Back-man, Back-man, state rationing director for Utah. Explained Mr. Backman, "There is no specific limitation on the amount of sugar which a family may obtain for home canning. can-ning. To make sure that local rationing boards fully understand this important fact about the sugar rationing program, our office of-fice has today sent out a bulletin to all local boards instructing them to give each applicant individual in-dividual consideration and grant sugar allotments based on present pres-ent needs of each family. The amount of fruit canned in previous previ-ous seasons, local canning practices, prac-tices, the availability of fresh fruit, and studies made by the department of agriculture and the consumers division of the OPA are to be used for guidance of local rationing boards and in no sense impose an arbitrary limitation limita-tion on the amount of sugar a board may authorize a family to purchase for home canning. In most sections of Utah, Mr. Back-man Back-man further explained, -'I think local boards are interpreting the home canning sugar rules quite liberally and are giving applicants what they are willing to certify they need for this purpose. With this liberal interpretation, the state board is in complete agree- I ment. We want the fruit of te state conserved before it spoils. Not a pound of it a should go to waste. When sugar is thus used it is not immediately consumed con-sumed but Is stored with the canned fruit for future seasons. A generous allotment of sugar under these conditions represents both a legitimate and a patriotic use." HEAVY TRUCKS TO BE MANUFACTURED WASHINGTON.
