Iowa Family Honored Manchester, la., UP) The Ralph Childs family Saturday will become the first family in the nation to receive the rural electrification ad ministration's "award for s distin guished service in production of the nation's food through use of rural electric power." A special program is planned at which Harry Slattery, RE A admin istrator, will present the Childs fam ily a plaque bearing the citation. Mayor F. K. Jones today pro claimed November 13 "Food-for-Victory" day here, urging partici pation in the program. John B. Cousin, president of the REA-financed Maquoketa Valley El ectric Cooperative, Anamosa, la., said the Childs family was selected to receive the award on the basis of increasd pork, poultry and dairy production in which electrical equip ment played a part.

Allied Sinking Of Submarines Shows Large Total Destroyed Faster Than Germans Can Build the Underwater Ships 150 Down in Six Months Fighting in Yugo-SIavia Thansgiving Music Program The Thanksgiving Music Program to be presented by the Plattsmouth Festival Chorus at the First Metho dist Church on the evening of Tues day, November 23, is fast rounding into form. However, several music groups of the city, have not as yet, contacted the director, Mr. B. E. Evans, High School Co-Ordinator, relative to their participation in this community project. Will all those choir leaders, and music direc tors concerned please notify Mr. Evans soon. Let us stop for a few minutes from our very busy schedules, and give thanks to Him for our many, many blessings, and join in a pray er that peace may soon return to a war-weary world. There is no finer means by which we may show our gratitude to the Almighty, than by joining in hymns of praise on an occasion of this kind. Shall we line up in this commun ity service project now? Washington, Nov. 10. (UP) The allies, clearing the Atlantic for the coming invasion of western Europe, have destroyed submarines during the past six months faster than Ger many can build them. That was evident today in the joint Anglo-American announcement that approximately 60 German sub marines were destroyed during Aug ust, September and October, raising the total to 150 for six months. The monthly average of German losses for the period thus stands at 25 U-boats a month were being launched. But allied bombings of shipyards and of plants where sub marine parts are fabricated are be lieved to have cut output almost in half. At the present rate of attrition, German submarine reserves are be ing depleted. The joint announcement revealed that the submarine toll for the Aug ust-October period exceeded the number of allied merchant vessels lost by submarine action. Tonnage losses from all causes air and U boat attacks and mines during October were the second lowest of any war month. The announcement carried a warn ing, however, that the battle of the Atlantic could not be regarded as over. "The Germans," it said, "have introduced new U-boat weapons and tactics. Thus far we have been able to cope successfully with the chang ing situation. The battle continues in full vigor." Nevertheless, the report said, the record of the last three months was ''particularly gratifying because dur ing most of this period fewer U-boats were operating, fewer targets were presented for our air and sea forces." President Roosevelt was pleased by the report. He told his news con ference that anti-submarine war fare was coining right along and that measures had been developed to counter the nazis new U-boat weap ons. Prime Cinisfef 'Winston" "Churchill declared in a broadcast earlier that the back of the German submarine warfare had been broken. These statements and the joint announcement explained why the U. S. navy recently cancelled con tracts for several hundred destroyer escort vessels and increased its or der for amphibious landing craft. London, Nov. 10. (UP) Fierce guerilla fighting raged from end to end of Yugo-SIavia today and Gen. Draja Mikhailavitch's Cairo head quarters announced that his troops had attacked and temporarily block ed the Danube rivers' famed iron gate canal along the Yugo-Slav Rus sian frontier. Units of Mikhailovitch's - patriot army, a communique said, blocked the iron gate by sinking two grain laden barges squarely across the canal interrupting traffic moving down the Danube from central Europe. The communique said German and anti-democratic forces had opened a major drive to split the patriot armies in Serbia from those fight ing in Montenegro and Bosnia. Two axis columns attacked from Sara jevo and Tuzla and heavy fighting is now in progress east of thise cit ies, it said.

(UP) The Lbn don News-Chronicle said today that Prime Minister Churchill will make several changes in his cabinet be fore the opening of the new parlia mentary session, possibly going out side parliament ranks to appoint a reconstruction minister. Several ministerial changes with "some surprises" were predicted by the newspaper. Tornado in South New Orleans, Nov. 8. (UP) Ten persons were reported today to have been killed and more than 150 in jured as a result of a series of tor nadoes which struck communities' in three t'ulf coast states during the week end. Manufacturers of electrical ap pliances reported that no Christmas tree lights have been produced since 1942, and the only ones available this year will be from stock carried over. Tule Lake, Cal., Nov. 9. (UP) Japanese at the Tule Lake segrega tion center dismantled government automobiles to make knives from the springs, according to testimony be fore an investigating committee cf state senators today. Witnesses testified that in addi tion to the knives they fashioned, the Japanese stole 1,000 butcher knives. The testimony was heard by a committee of four state senators investigating the recent riot which forced the army to take over the center. Employes of the center testified that inmates were "coddled" by of ficials of the War Relocation Author ity, and that they refused to obey orders. John P. Stubbs, procurement of ficer at the camp, told the committee that "social service workers" in the WRA believed U. S. army work clothing was "not good enough for the Japs." As a result, he said, a warehouse full of the clothing re mains unused. N. C. Wilkinson, former superin tendent of the project's packing house, testified that there was a "tre mendous waste in the WRA." "The Japs destroyed parts of hogs and threw meat into the 'hog grave yard'," he said. Ray R. Best, director of the cen ter, testified that he called upon the miltiary to take control of the camp last Tiiursaay nigni oecau&e Japanese internees violated his or ders not to congregate around ad ministration buildings. Best said he heard "several shots" when troops moved into the camp. He said he "presumed" the shots were fired by soldiers, although earlier testimony said camp guards also used guns. It's certainly 'pound-foolish' to shop for inferior, careless, 'cat-rate' cleaning when a fine garment needs refreshing.
