The present drop in dried fruits is reassuring, proving that none of the figures are fixed, and that the ration people have their eyes on the market and the need to keep stock especially more perishable per-ishable stock moving. Plenty of Jars-Anticipating Jars-Anticipating a record-breaking canning season in American homes, WPB has made arrangements arrange-ments for manufacture of 3,000,-000,000 3,000,-000,000 new closures (except the banned zinc lids) 500,000,000 new jars, twice as many as last year, and 150,000 pressure cookers which will each hold seven one-quart jars. The new supply, in addition to those held over from last year, should take care of home canning for the season. More Applesauce-Home Applesauce-Home economists point to the amply supply of fresh apples on housewife does very little baking and canning. War and Wax Paper Housewives are urged to conserve con-serve all their wax paper against the time when this handy commodity com-modity may be very scarce. Wax, says WPB is hard to obtain, and has many important war uses. Spring, and the Cows The fluid milk flush season is underway, in the language of Agriculture Ag-riculture Department experts, and there'll, be plenty of milk on hand from now on, especially in communities com-munities where there's been a shortage. The reason: cows are in pasture again, and spring's in the air. Odds and Ends Clean and pack your heating stoves and stove pipe elbows care-' fully this summer as the pipe especially, es-pecially, will be obtainable only in limited quantities from now on . . .

Navy Ranks World's Greatest SAN FRANCISCO, April 2 .OLE) The United States now has the world's greatest navy and more than 1,500,000 men serving in it, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Ralph A. Bard said today. Addressing thousands of as sembled officers and men at the Treasure Island base in San Francisco Fran-cisco bay, Bard said the navy "is carrying the war to the enemy On all the oceans of the world, and it will continue to carry the fight to him until the last stronghold of oppression, tyranny and die tatorship has been wiped from the face of the earth." "Today, America possesses the greatest navy this old world has ever seen, with more than million and a half men under arms and with ships and planes and other tools of war pouring from the assembly lines of the Indus trial battle front in ever increasing increas-ing volume." Bard said the navy proposed to 1, help its personnel prepare for reemployment re-employment . in peacetime 1obs after the "great day" of victory t which may come 4 six months from now, two years from now none of us knows when." DISPUTE HALTS VITAL. PRODUCTION CHICAGO, April 2 (UP) A dls- the United Automobile Workers (CIO), walked out yesterday in protest against the transfer, of two men from the plant's protection protec-tion unit to production work. They charged the transfer violated a seniority clause in the production workers' contract with the com- in "city" homes where the maintenance workers, member of pany. hand and urge housewives to buy pute over tne seniority rights apples to put up as applesauce. Gf two workers halted production Most families they say, have 0f war materials today at the rnough sugar to take care of a Ford motor assembly plant, .man amount of canning, especial- Six hundred production and y "the federal communications commission said Reich commissar J Josef Terboven had gone to Rju-v kan to "watch the search for the saboteurs on the Hardanger Vidda Plateau.") British parachute saboteurs also had' been reported -active in France and Norway. The broadcasts gave no details; of the Danish sabotage, but com plained that Danes were cooper-i ating with parachutists. "Things nave erone to such a pitch that armed British parachutists para-chutists can force their way into Danish industrial plants and persuade per-suade the guards to keep quiet wnue tney plant Domos," one broadcast directed to Denmark itself said. The allegation that British para chutists have landed in Denmark ioiowea cioseiy on reports of a growing wave of sabotage in that country, so severe that -Stockholm dispatches said the Germans had, threatened mass executions, the roundup of hostages and the imposition im-position of community fines unless un-less incendiary fires and bombings ceased. Coincidental with the search for parachutists in Norway, a Russian Rus-sian Tass dispatch from Stockholm Stock-holm reported, Terboven clamped a state of emergency over the Trandheim area of central Norway. Nor-way. Trondheim is the site of one of Germany's biggest naval bases on the Atlantic coast of occupied Europe. ! Terboven acted, Tass said, after ordering numerous arrests following follow-ing a recent clash between Norwegian Nor-wegian students and police irf Trondheim. There is considerable risk in overloading yonr automobile. If, for example, your tires are good for 30,000 miles more with the load for which they were designed, they'll lose 5400 miles with a mere 10 per cent overload. British Capture Sates Without Firing A Shot By NED RUSSELL United Press Staff Correspondent GABES, Tunisia, March 30 (Delayed) (De-layed) OLE) Tired and dusty soldiers sol-diers of the British Eighth army swam in the Mediterranean and sunbathed on soft white sands with pretty French girls today while behind them lay the bomb-shattered bomb-shattered city of Gabes, which they had occupied without firing a shot. The city had been heavily damaged dam-aged by British and American bombers pounding Marshall Erwin Rommel's communications, but the population welcomed the British Brit-ish soldiers with hugs and kisses. Gabes' population of nearly 2,-000 2,-000 French and 26,000 Arabs had suffered greatly in recent months during the German occupation. Local people with whom this correspondent cor-respondent talked on a tour of the town's white stucco buildings said the Nazis grabbed most of the available food, ripped doors and wooden roofs of t homes for fuel and blew up bridges in and near the city as they withdrew northward early yesterday. The Eighth army's tanks Bren pun carriers and trucks reached the beach this afternoon and the . men who have driven, them through the throat-parching dust storms of the desert plunged into the surf and made friends with the local bathing beauties the first white women they had seen since leaving Tripoli more than two months ago. The blonde, 19-year-old daugh-tp- of a local air raid precautions chief, sunning herself on the oeacn, said that Gabes had undergone under-gone an air raid Sunday night just before the Axis troops started to evacuate the city. "We are convinced," she said, "that German planes bombed us ;not British or American because be-cause they wanted us to hate you when you arrived." H I ! 1 Help the Nation Whip Inflation Price controls arc new to a nation grown great in free enterprise. . .''"'"'. But free prices, in time of war, can't fight for freedom. Unless controlled, such prices might prove a real stumbling block on the rough but certain road to Victory. The Office of Price Administration, with" the whole-hearted, cooperation of retailers, retail associations and other trade groups, has devised price controls known as price "ceilings. These basic price controls not only gear prices to the war effort but prevent runaway increases in the cost of living. Best of all, they help check inflation one of the 'deadliest public enemies of every armed conflict. 4 , 4$y.&2t?
