Co New Zealand Is Geared for War Entire Male Population of Country Up to Age 65 Listed for Service. . e0B. - lis! vil" T!w---- iL2!,. - .y an i ' WELLINGTON, N. Z. New Zea-land. Zea-land. In the fourth year of this world-shattering world-shattering conflict, is a state organized organ-ized almost entirely for war: The army has called up and medically med-ically listed the whole male population popula-tion up to age 45. All workers up to the age of 65 are covered by labor decrees and may be held in their present Jobs If these are deemed important or drafted to other tasks of greater moment to tt'.e nation. War industry, within the limits of New Zealand possibilities, has been greatly stepped up. This country is now making light tanks for its own use, supplying large quantities of fuses for empire-made shells under a plan which was intended to link Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa on a munitions production produc-tion line, building ships of various types for employment in the Pacific operations. Mobilised for Defense. Earlier in the South Pacific struggle, strug-gle, when New Zealand did not know Just how much aid she could expect, a large army was mobilized to defend de-fend these shores against possible Japanese invasion under a plan to sever the eastern sea lane to Australia. Aus-tralia. The improved Pacific situation situa-tion and the fact that many men may now be rated as trained soldiers sol-diers has enabled the army to let some of the reservists go back into the production line. But these things could be had only at a price in the industrial field., Not only luxury trades but industries of first importance have been forced nearly to shut-down leveL The building industry, long maintained because of the shortage of homes, is barely moving. Transport has also been throttled down to necessity level and the many foreign traders who used to thrive on the spending of a community commu-nity always well supplied with cash have had to find other jobs. What comes into New Zealand now Is what is needed to help win the war. The change in the whole national setup was apparent last Christmas, when stores closed up over Christmas Christ-mas and New Year's because the strain on their stocks had made it not worth while for them to stay open. What They Can Do Without. For the New Zealander the war has been a revelation in what he can do without With his gasoline ration cut to a mere dribble, .tires unprocurable unpro-curable for pleasure motoring, with newspapers refusing new subscribers subscrib-ers and even cutting off their lists those who go away for vacations, with telephones so short that he is unable to get one when he moves house, luxury foods vanished out of the shops and tea and candy available avail-able in small supplies, with even such things as vegetables scarce in places and at high prices, the native na-tive inhabitant has found that he can still live a comfortable life. Jh any event the New Zealander has tailored his life to helping the war drive. The men left now are mostly in essential industry or are over age even for industrial mobilisation, mobili-sation, which reaches up'to 65. They frequently toil long hours and on top of this have some home defense job. Women, besides running their homes, knit and sew, staff soldiers' clubs, pack prisoners' parcels, drive autos for civil defense units and belong be-long to various auxiliary outfits with the fighting forces. Today they have a new task: they must help entertain en-tertain American boys who are eager for home life and quickly responsive to what they get of it Americans, looking over the New Zealand scene, never fail to wonder at the things New Zealanders can do when so many of their men have been mobilized. Test With Glider Promises New Use Proves Craft Can Operate Under Its Own Power. MINNEAPOLIS. A slender, 35-year-old army air force colonel tossed away his cigar, stepped into a big, snub-nosed monoplane and flew it twice around Wold-Chamberlain field here to prove what he had hoped that a glider can be flown under its own power. The pioneer of this flight, believed to be the first of its kind ever made in this country, is Col. Fred Dent, a West Point graduate of 1929 and head of the army's experimental glider program at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. The flight was historic in this respect: re-spect: It showed that a big glider a towed airplane is what Dent calls it can be motorized and flown under un-der its own power, despite the fact that it was never designed with that idea. In this case, a small, air-cooled air-cooled engine was attached under each wing and these engines can be put on in a hurry. . . Dent declined to discuss what the army haf in mind for this two-engined version of the towed airplane. However, it is known that these possibilities pos-sibilities are under study: Use of the craft "in our present activities" when it is necessary to get soldiers and equipment across short overwater jumps, where no dock facilities are available at the desired landing point The Germans did something like this at Crete, but with towed planes. Ability to land in an Incredibly small space. Relieving the overburdened army air transport services on cargo that does not need to move immediately. Finds 'Outpost' Shopping Better Than Back Home SEATTLE, WASH.-Isabel McCul-lough, McCul-lough, Red Cross recreational supervisor su-pervisor stationed in Alaska, spent ber leisure for more than a year planning that shopping trip to Seattle.

Cowboys the real stuff with rifles slung in saddle scabbards and pistols shoved in hip holsters drove 600 steers onto the Jackson Hole National Monument area. No trouble was expected and the weapons were carried just in case, said Charles Kratzer, spokesman for the citizens' committee which vehemently vehe-mently protested a presidential order, or-der, two months ago creating the park in western Wyoming. Cattlemen Cattle-men must get their stock across and they can take no chances, Mr. Kratzer Krat-zer explained. Livestock ordinarily grazes in the center of the area now designated as a park. It long has been a summer sum-mer feeding custom to drive herds into the area. Officers of the Jackson Jack-son Hole Cattle and Horse association associa-tion said this practice would be continued. con-tinued. Charles J. Smith, administrator of the park, said he was not informed of the plans for the armed guard and added he had no intention of stopping the drive. He explained cattlemen who previously had used the area may continue to do so. Mr. Kratzer said no permit was obtained from the park service for the drive. Mightier Bombers Will ? Soon Be Seen in Action WASHINGTON. There's fresh evidence ev-idence that new and more powerful types of American combat planes will be in action soon. An OWI release telling of savings effected through contract renegotia- tions discloses officially for the first time that this country has for many months been producing 2,500-horse-power aircraft engines, probably the largest in production in any country. Cost of such an engine was listed as $96,000, compared with $110,000 "approximately a year ago." There was no indication what planes are being or will be equipped with these powerful engines, but no types now in action are fitted with such engines, whose additional power pow-er could be used either to lift greater great-er weight or to get greater speed.

Sailors Saved by Life- Jacket Signal Lights MIAML FLA. Red signal lights attached to their life jackets were credited by four members of a navy gun crew with the speedy rescue of 95 men who took to life boats and rafts when their merchant ship was torpedoed late in April in mid-Atlantic by a submarine. Several hours after the ship went down, the survivors heard a plane which had come in answer to the distress signal sent by their radio operator. " Xet's light up, boys,' the lieu-tenant lieu-tenant told us. and every one switched on his little red signal light" one of the survivors reported. After 12 hours in life boats, the torpedoed men were picked up and landed in Puerto Rico. Truck Farm Is Looted After Army Offers Gifts " LOS ANGELES.
