Big Spring Daily Herald (Newspaper) - March 7, 1943, Big Spring, Texas Buy Defense and Book Big Spring HenU Big Spring Sunday March 71943 Three 10 Pet Increase In Cotton Allotments Announced Oil Protein Feed Needed Wickard Says WASHINGTON March 6 Secretary of Agriculture Wickard announced today farmers will be permitted to their 1943 planting allotments by 10 per cent This action was taken the sec said in an effort to in crease the production of vegetable oils for food and protein feed for livestock These products are made from cotton seed I think we should recognize Wickard said that there are areas in the cotton belt that are better adapted to the produc tion of cotton than to other crops The 10 per cent increase should enable some of these areas to make a more complete contribu tion to our production program Cottonseed meal is an excellent source of protein feed for live stock and cottonseed oil is one of the best edible oils Wickard said that marketing quotas which were approved by fanners voting in a referendum last December would be retained under quotas farmers would be free to sell all the cotton they produced on their new acreage al Cotton sold from ex cess acreages would be subject to a penalty tax of nearly half the market value of the cotton action actually gave farmers permission to overplant their allotments by 10 per cent In consequence farmers will receive benefit payments only on the al as originally established Wickard said the 10 per cent increase in no way relaxed provi sions of the cotton program re quiring farmers to plant at least 90 per cent of their war crop goals In order to be eligible for cotton benefit payments Use Recaps Truck Operators Urged Truck operators were asked Saturday to maintain a careful check on their tires and to have them recapped before they wear beyond the recapping stage S T Eason local board chairman point ed out that quotas are not avail able to meet the demand for truck tire replacements Eason said that an increasing number of applications for re placements rather than recaps have been received Figures from the Lubbock district OPA office show that more new tires than recaps were issued in each of the v last six months of 1942 in Texas In view of the rubber shortage It stands to reason that this situa tion must bs corrected and the board is appealing to truckers to cooperate by regulating both loads and speed to the point where their trucks may successfully operate on recaps the board chairman Raid The local board has been in formed by the district OPA office that use of truck recaps must be Increased in order to insure con operation of essential trucks The American grizzly bears one of the most terrible and dangerous animals in the world likes nothing better than to browse on

KIKKE SIMPSON The axis commander in French Africa must choose and choose soon whether to run or fight In the south Time and the weather are run ning against him Once the Brit Ish manned Jaws of the Allied nut cracker begin squeezing in on him it might be too late to effect a disengagement in the south and a retreat northward for concen defense of tha Tunisian tip itself Weather conditions have hamp ered the development of an Allied attack front on the sectors Supply lines running across 1500 miles of desert to Egypt have slowed up a full scale assault by the victorious British 8th army in the south Both conditions are passing The end of the rains in northern Tuni sia is at hand British success in supply difficulties in the south to make and Tripoli advance bases relatively close up behind the fighting front is indicated The nazi supreme commander in Tunisia whether Rommel or an other is aware of that He can closely estimate the moment when he must face attack on both ends of his 300mile long Tunisian coastal strip with his inshore flank in the center again exposed or run for it abandoning the Mar eth line to concentrate north ward By every rule of military logic the latter should be his decision His chances of prolonged resist ance to limit or prevent effective Allied use of the Mediterranean narrows until axis defense dis positions along the north shore of that sea are well developed would be better with all his forces group ed in northern Tunisia than with them dispersed to guard more than 300 miles of front vulnerable at many points By a prompt retreat northward to Sousse on the east coast the nazi commander could shorten his front to 100 miles or so and still cover all of the Tunisian tip An air line from Cape Serat west of Bizerte on the north coast to the vicinity of Bou Fischa on the east coast above Sousse would be DIVORCE GRANTED One divorce was granted Satur day by Judge Cecil Collings in 70th district court E H Sager was granted divorce from Clara

said today that he was discussing with mem bers of the legislature the bility of lowering the general speed limit to 40 miles per hour Attorney General Gerald C Mann yesterday held ths 35mile per hour limit imposed by the highway department was invalid and suggested that the legislature only had the authority to set aside the existing statute The present general law calls for a 60mile per hour limit The 35mile limit was ordered by the highway department in line with requests from the federal government that highway speeds be reduced as a rubber conserva tion measure Pending before the legislature now is a by Rep Pat Ger of scaling the general limit down to 35 miles This measure is before the com on highways and roads and no action has been taken on it Governor Stevenson was not yet ready to indicate whether he would submit the revision as emer gency legislation Stevenson said he believed that a patriotic appeal to motorists to hold down speeds to would pos sibly be more effective than leg isation Mans opinion held that while the highway department Is em bv statute to set aside the maximum state in cer tain danger zones the had no authority to change the eneral law
