At pie.-.uit there are 312 Liberty ships mid : construction and Congress has authorized the construction of more? tin- . \act number to be determined by tin- amount of propulsion machinery which is <avallable in 1042 and 1943. federal Loan Administrator, Jesse H Jones announced that financial arrangements had been made for the construction and operation ot.two new magnesium plants and ope new o,lutn-_ inuni plant. The two former operations will have an annual capacity of 112 million pounds of the vital metal needed In airplanes and, Incendiary bombs, bringing total American production up to 274 million pounds. The United State* relaxed Its netw trality rules Wednesday to permit] Americans, in case of great emergeni cy to travel home. from England aboard ships of nations at war, at their own expense and~ risk. The changq In regulations was made to | accommodate especially naturalised Amerclan citizens in England, who may lose'their cltisenshlp if they doi not return Nttlikiin. a few weeks. It may be extended, however, to Americans anxious to quit the Far East and continental Europe. The change In the rule was first made known when Glenn Abbey, Acting U. S. Consul General In London, circularized about 3,000 of the approximately 5,000 Americans now in Great J Britain. I Secretary of State Hull emphasize^ that Americans traveling on British, Norwegian, Danish or other belligerent ships would do so at their own risk. The M ar Department has announced that a tabulation of the religious preference of every soldier reveals that 5a per cent of the entire army, are Protestants. Of the remainder, 11 p? r cent are Catholic, 2 per cent Jewish and 8 per cent list no denomination By listing his religious preferv U' Uie soldier and his family will he assured that he will receive the j ministration of a chaplain or a, minister of his own faith, if available,' in those cases of accident and serious illness whore the patient is unable to give the needed information. The War Department estimated this week that there would be 236 deaths and 70,000 other "casualties among ap? proximately 752,000 troops who will take part in the record peacetime field maneuvers in September and November. The November maneuvers in the Carolines will involve approximately 302,000 troops and the department said probably 70 of them would be killed and 30 die of disease. About 22,600 will be hospitalized by dlseasl and 7,600 by ihjuries, the department said. _ Asserting that the factors on which the estimates were based were so variable that liberal interpretation should be. made, the Army said its medical v department had made extensive preparations to handle all first-aid and hospital cases In the field. Mobile medical units will move with the troops, the announcement said, and field hospitals will be set up to assure proper care for all type of casualties. Naval contracts wni be spread as widely as possible through efforts of t?e new Naval Contracts Division, created this week In She office of Urider-secretary James Forrestal. Orders issued suggest greater degree of Subcontracting, a greater subdivid1 ing of original purchases and assistance by the Navy in conversion of industrial plants engaged in civilian production to make them applicable to Nfivy work.

A few weeks ago his ship was in a convoy attacked by Nazi bombing planes but all escaped without serious damage. But the Pattlson seagoing traditions are no logner confined to the male members of the family. Now that England's women are doing their men's Jobs, there's a female Pattlson who has gone to Bea. She's Lllla, Harry's 24-year-old sister, who is third officer in the Women's Hoyal Navy which Is assisting In the operation of ships on .England's inland waterways. She recently Vrote her brother here, telling him she has been made a "cypher officer". Harry 16 still mystified by the new title as he never heard of that one before. Harry was graduated from tbe West Hartpool school In 1938, at the age of *16. He worked as an office clerk for a timber iperchant in his home city until- August 1940. Then, having reached the minimum age for enlisting as an RAF flying student, he volunteered and spent four months learning ground defense work at an RAF station. That was followed by a six weeks' aerial ground course, the first phasd of his cadet training at a base on the south coast of England. On June 28, 1941, Harry sailed , from England on a merchant cruiser , along with several hundred other British boys whtrwere coming to th? United States to leaj-n battle flying.' He reached Camden on July 21, and f had Jus|r finished, the first week of his 30-week course when he was stricken with a kidney condition that forced his removal to the Fort Jackson hospital. Now that he's back on duty. Harry must wo^k doubly hard to make up the irtstruction time he missed. And that's a large order for the RAF cadets at the Camden training school have very few hours of leisure tlfno. They're up at 5:30 on week-days and start their flying instruction promptly | at 7 o'clock. The morning 1b devoted | to flying with the afternoon sessions given over to ground training. Their only free time is from 0:30 to 7:30 p. | ! m.. then they begin an hour-and-half ! study before "Lights Out," at 9 p. m. However, they do have from noon Saturday to 7:30 p. m. Sunday for their own amusement, mos? of Which they find either In Camden or Columbia, They a_re not permitted to leave the area during the week: Harry, along with the dtfier RAF candidates, Is being taught combat flying by the United States army instructors at the Camden school, which is one of several bases in this country where British youths are being trained to beat off Nazi designs on their holheldpds. The most Adept pupils will finish the 30-week course as qualified pilots while (hose with less aerial aptltudt will be made bombardiers and Observers. The "baby face" RAF prospect was much impressed by the Immensity of Fort Jackson where 41,000 soldiers are now housed In. more than 2,000 permanent buildings and 5,00fl winterized tents. ' "Military camps tn England are" not operated on the scale of t^ose here In thfs country", Harry said. "There are only one or two large camps In our country as concentrating troops In one spot would be Inviting., disaster with German bombing planes paying us ntgbttjr visits. Over there, our soldier* Ve scattered throughput various ruril areas for. ftafftfug and many off them Mve In private homes and buildbare I ftmaf thitr uftotac (nrm ? C? I den considerably more Intensive than their preliminary Instruction back home in England. But it doesn't bother them much. ''Like all boys our age, we would like to nave a few hours for ourselves" Harry explained. "However, we all realize that every minute counts In England's defense and that makes our work easier. We have a Job to do back home and thh sooner we're qualified to go back and do it, the better we will all feel."?Columbia Record. C 1 ~ ~ ??
