More and more people write in about the joyous relief thev gret from KELLOGGS ALL-BRAN. It really gets at one common cause of constipation lack of certain eellulosic elements in the diet. For ALL-BRAN is one of Nature's most effective sources of these elements, which help to fluff np and prepare colonic wastes for easy, natural elimination. Remember, KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN is not a purgative or medicine, it is a grain cereal a gentle-acting regulating" food. If your constipation is due to a bulk-deficiency in the diet, eat KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN regularly, as cereal or in several muffins.

Drink plenty of water. See if you don't enjoy lasting relief. Get genuine ALL-BRAN, made only by Keilogg'a in Battle Creek. mt Mtr ooVnr. or wmaa tear, ha aaata through the open bomb bay.

Lead Bomb Bun "The formation made its bomb run over the target with xur ship right in the lead," Martko said. "The bomb bay doors screecnea open, as tne neavy dohids aroppeu earthward, two of the giants struck a tljird bomb which had failed to release.

The blow from the falling explosives bent the bomb release hook and pulled the wire from the tail fuse. "The bomb was hansrine tail down with the spinner revolving," Martko recalled. The bombardier frantically worked both lever releases. The live bomb failed to. drop.

To add to the precarious situation a burst of enemy flak exploded dangerously near the open bomb bay a-nd the dangling bomb. Fortunately the flak failed to cause the hot bomb to explode. Crew members expected the live bomb to explode at any second. The pilot pulled away from the rest of the formation and headed toward the open sea. Sergeant Martko swung into action with three of his fellow-crewmen: Tech.

Sub-stratosphere air whistled (Continued from Page 1) policy, but whether policy will be effectively carried out in ac cordance with constitutional methods. Dewey said that foreign policy must reflect "the will of the people." People In Accord The people were agreed over whelmingly, he said, on these for eign policy objectives: To carry the war to total victory; to cooperate with other nations in organizing "a structure of peace backed by ade quate force to prevent future wars, to promote world-wide economic stability. Dewey said the initial measures aken to disarm Germany and Japan ar prevent a resumption or power politics after the war would not have permanent value "unless they fall within the setting of durable cohesion between Great Britain and ourselves, together.

I hope, with Russia and China." His advocacy of a tie among the four nations parallelled closely his Mackinac Isand statement last September. The experience of two world wars, Dewey said, "has shown us that unprovoked aggression against a freedom-loving people anywhere is an attack upon the peace of the whole world." Refers to Home Issues Dewey also chided the administration on domestic affairs, saying: "It is not enough to talk about a more abundant life if the actions that follow the words leave millions unemployed and dependent upon government for a bare existence. It is not enough to talk about economic security and then pursue policies which promote insecurity. It is not enough to talk about the enterprise system and then pursue a course of action that stifles en terprise." He drew loud applause when he said he rejected the proposition that "Uncle Sam must play the role of a benevolent but slightly senile gentleman, who seeks to purchase the good will of his poor relatione by distributing among them the dwind ling remains of his youthful earnings." Raids In Pacific Reported Hutchinson, Kan. (JP) American air power in the Pacific has grown to such proportions that "we have been conducting raids there," Artemus I Gates, assistant secretary of the navy for air, said in a press conference yesterday.

"We have been building up all the time until now raids in which 1,000 planes are used are not uncommon he asserted. "I don't be lieve the public realizes that we have been having raids in the Pacific. (It $750 IRENE TTTTC SHOE Complete Spring High Bridge George R.

Net profits of the plants at Easton and High Bridge for the year end ing Dec.

Production Expands Mr. Hanks stated that production for war purposes expanded substantially over 1942 and the volume reached its highest in the third quarter of 1943.

Since then the requirements of a fluid war have caused a tapering off in plant activity and employment. "Renegotiation of our 1942 war business resulted In a return of $28,500 to the government after excess profits tax credits," he stated. "The additional federal tax assessment for the years 1940 ana 1941 has not been finally settled with the Bureau of Internal Rev enue, but is provided for in our contingency reserve fund.

However, it is proper to record that never in the company's long history has any one year's volume of shipments exceeded 1943. The resources and energies of our organization have been and will continue to be devoted primarily to aiding the government in winning the war," Mr.

Hanks concluded. Civilian Goods To Be Made When Germany Falls Washington (JPi Success of the Allied nations in the approaching invasion of Europe may turn more than a third of America's war production into the manufacture of civilian goods. When Japan is the only major enemy left in the fighting, says Charles E. Wilson, War Production Board (WPB) executive vice chairman, "35 per cent of the productive capacity now tied up with war work will be available for peacetime But he added that, until Germany collapses, "only very limited civilian production will be possible." And there was emphasis on this point from Wilson's chief, WPB Chairman Donald Nelson who declared that the WPB was "not to do one single thing that would interfere with the war effort." The outline of production plans and aims was given at a meeting with the newly-formed automobile labor advisory committee -of seven CIO and AFL leaders. Ration Boards Plan Survey of Bakeries Newark All North Jersey bakeries will be contacted by War Price and Rationing Board Panels beginning next week with full information concerning new price regulations governing ceiling prices of baked goods.

This was announced today by District OPA Director Richard J. Tarrant. The new regulations require every baker of cakes, pastries, doughnuts, sweet yeast raised goods, and pies to recalculate and report his maximum retail prices every April and October, beginning this month. The recalculation is required in order to make allowance for changed ingredient and packaging costs, and changed weights. $po Assortment In the newest styles and colors at our usual low price.

President Manuel Quezon of the Philippines also was on his boat, he related. Stayed on Mindanao DeVries, son of Mr.

and Mrs. Henry W. DeVries, said he remained on Mindanao on May 1, 1942, after General MacArthur and other officers and technicians had been flown from the island. With him on the large, jungle- covered island in the southern part of the Philippines were other survivors of the torpedo boat squadron which had been commanded by Lieut. Comm.

John Bulkeley during the Japanese occupation of the islands. Belief that DeVries was alive with other PT men on Mindanao was expressed more than a year ago by Lieut. Robert B. Kelly, one of Bul- kelejrs aides in command of the Philippine PT squardon. Bulkeley and Kelly were in the group flown out of the Philippines to Australia.

Awarded Silver Star General MacArthur awarded De Vries the Silver Star on May 28, 1942. While DeVries was hiding in the Philippines he was raised to his present chief's rating from first class torpedoman. Late in May, 1942, the Navy Department listed him as missing in action, and it was not until last month that his family was notified in confidence that he was "alive and free."

His removal by two soldiers was ordered by Biddle after, the attorney general said, Avery refused to cooperate with eovernment officials and main tained he still wag the boss. Records Sought Judge Holly's order not only en joined interference by company officials but called upon them to surrender company records, which had been asked by Biddle in his petition for the injunction.

He set a hearing for 2 p. oi. today on the dissolution, modification or extension of the order. The night court session came as a surprise, the proceedings being unofficially scheduled for today. None of the company officials or counsel was present upon issuance of the order, which directs the company to make available corpor ate- records to the government director, Wayne C.

Taylor, assistant secretary of commerce. Judge Holly, leaving his cham bers a few minutes after Biddle, told reporters, "Oh, I wouldn't issue that kind of an order without giving them (Wards) a chance to be heard." Company attorneys or officials were not immediately available for comment on the issuance of the order. Explains Move Judge Holly explained that the night session was held because "there was danger of irreparable injury being caused to the plaintiff (government) by virtue of the fact that the defendants have in terfered and are threatening to continue to interfere with the pos session and operation" of the plants. Earlier, Attorney Silas H. Strawn of the law firm representing the company, said injunction proceed ings would be filed shortly demand ing that government operation of nciais eniomea irom entering tne properties.

The case, court ob-! servers said, probably will lead to the U. S. Supreme Court before Snal disposition. Denies U. S.

Authority Strawn, in making known the mmm xxurtH wVr. that the government "has no more right to take over that (Wards) property than you have, and you will find that will be the case when th matter comes to court." The court writ and the removal of Avery by two soldiers, upon 'orders of Biddle, were two of many developments Chicago and else- where in the case which stemmed from a labor dispute between the 'company and a CIO union in its plant. It was Avery refusal to comply with a War Labor Board's order directing the company to extend an expired contract with the union that resulted in President Roosevelt's directive to seize the plant. He has steadfastly main tained tnat Mr. Roosevelt's order! was unconstitutional.

Investigation Sought Mr. Roosevelt's authority to issue the order was questioned on the floor of the House of Representatives in Washington and a resolu- tion tor a congressional investiga-; tion of the government seizure was Introduced by Representative Dewey (R-Ill), But Representative Sabath (D-IU), chairman of the House Rules Committee indicated would be sidetracked. As government officials, headed by Taylor, held control of the com- any, the country's second largest mail order house, the firm annual meeting of the stockholders was ordered shifted from the company's business offices to a loop hotel. Avery was to preside. There was speculation that the joiition of the ranking Ward sxecutives will be decided at a meeting today.

The officials were reported to have met to discuss whether they should follow Avery, the $100,000 a year chief executive. PTA to Hold Dance Maxson-Netherwood PTA rill sponsor a square dance in the Netherwood School at 8:30 p. m. tomorrow. Fred Stout will call the assisted by Miss Blanche sKinner.
