Coronado national forest service has gone on an emergency fire control basis. Assistant supervisor Roger D. Morris announced that record heat and lack of rain prevent withdrawal of fire guards, with regular season running Apr 16 to Jul 31 in sections. Guards may stay on duty longer and emergency measures may persist into winter if conditions worsen, while grazing losses threaten cattle amid drying feed and potential relocations.

Senate GOP seeks Southern support on postwar aid plan
Senate Republicans sought help from Southern Democrats to oppose a bill creating a super-reconversion agency and a federal unemployment program. The plan, sponsored by Murray Truman Kilgore, would establish a war mobilization office and pay six months of federally funded training plus subsistence, with benefits tied to weekly pay. Austin warned of an unprecedented grant of power, while a rival Georgia senator urged state control of unemployment insurance.
