OPA said widespread reports in the past few days of bulging sugar warehouses have created a distorted picture of available sugar sup- r piy. Agriculture. Agriculture Secretary Wickard recommended that food be produced near the area where it will be consumed and that shipment of food; be accomplished by the shortest possible route and in the most concentrated form possible, in order to save shipping space. He said the U. S. must send meat, lard, milk, eggs and other concentrated foods io the United Nations and American housewives joins use more substitute foods, which are plentiful. of total U. S. Pork production is being sent abroad, but cheese, chicken, or dried beans can replace a pork dish, Sir. Wickard said. He said excellent pastures have increased milk production for home and foreign uses. The country will have to rely more and more on the contribution that small farmers can make toward meeting our warHe time goals for food production. added that the Department was doing everything it could to help small farmers purchase new equipment and stock for expanding crops. The Agriculture Department estimated the 1942 ; pig crop at i a record breaking total of i05,500;000 head, compared with 85,000, GOO head in 1941, The spring pig crop increased 25 percent over last spring to an estimated head. The 1942 fall pig crop in-eased, 22 percent over the fall of 1941 to an estimated 43,500,000 head, the Department said. Military Commission to Try Saboteurs.

Lexington began attack on a large Jap sea ofree consisting of cruisers, carriers, transports, destroyers, battleships o nMay 4th, and ended May 8th, when our force sent them fleeing with the loss of 17 known ships, including 2 aircraft carriers. The Lexington was torpedoed twice and bomed twice, the latter ripping through 5 flight decks, all of which gone the Lex an 8 degree list. The crew of tiie Lex fought fire, started by bombs for 5 hours and ceased only when the blowers and electricity stopped and danger became apparent that the magazines woud explode, because the inability to flood them with water All live crew which at the beginning numbered 2300 were gotten off ship. Theo was in the water more than two hourse, being one of the number who was rescued last. He was supported by a life belt and raft. He watched the Lex sink by its own internal explosions. Theo was picked up by one of the attending ships, taken to Australia where he stayed on ship 3 days, unable to go ashore because he had no liberty clothes. He and other sailors of the Lex were sent home aboard a tranport to San Diego, reaching here on June 2nd. He received leave on June 16th, Salt Lake on the 17th, and in Bear Lake June 19th. He had to be in San Diego June 27th at 7:30 a. m. He flew back by passenger plane to enable him Jo spend as many days with his 'folks and friends as possible. : The entire crew of the Lex will be recruited for another aircraft carrier, one which is just being built previously named U.S.S. Carbet. It will be rechristened the U.S.S. Lexington II, according to partially confirmed reports. Upon being asked if our planes were superior to the Japs, Theo replied, Yes, all the Jap planes I have seen shot down hav.e gone down in flames. Not one of the number of U.S. planes have gone down thus. No time during the battle was there any ship to ship firing. The enemy and this U. S. task force never got closer than 60 miles. All fighting was done by planes. The only shipboard fire was anti-ai- r craft. He was quite eager to return and get into the thick of it. The sooner we get into it with everything we have the sooner it will all be over. His one ducking or mishap apparently hasnt affected his courage or morale. The Lex had traveled 43,000 miles or more in war time, and had been in four battles. - - FIRST AID CLASSES TO BEGIN TUESDAY Tuesday at 2 p. m will be the first of a series of First Aid classes under the direction of Dr. Patton.

Lloyd K. Schlappi, Farm Security Administration supervisor for Rich and Daggett counties, said yesterday of that a survey of more than his agencys 11,000 active borrowers in its Ninth Region of Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah, shows that these fam operators have increased production as much as 274 percent above their own original estimates of 1942 output. Beef and veal top the list in the survey made at the end of May, with FSA families in the four states now producing 274 percent more beef and 223 percent more veal than they planned before Pearl Harbor. "Results are stll more impressive, Mr. Schlappi explained, when you know that even the original production estimates, now being so far surpassed, were generally higher than the usual Food for Freedom goals set for small farms by our state and county AgriUtahs greatest need today is more prospect shafts such as cultural War Boards. this one in order to insure her future The rehabilitation supervisor said What has happened to the pros- good for newly mined metals since that Region Nine farmers in the Farm the government recently offered a pector?
