6. (Pi-Lieutenant General Jacob L. Dev-ers, chief of the armored force who has just returned from a aix-weekf tour of the African war zone, said, yesterday the axis position in North Africa is doomed. I am confident that British and French forces can and will drive the Germans and Italians out. of Africa, or, if they make a stand, annihilate them a short lime after the allies start their concerted effort," General Devers de-ciared in an interview.

General Devers disclosed today, lhat he left Fort Knox by plane December 14 on a secret mission ordered by General George C. Marshall, chief of staff of the army. "American troops in Africa are in excellent health and in fine spirits," the general added. Naturally I was particularly interested in the armored force troops undec, Major General George S. Patton and Major General Orlando B.

Ward. To my eyes, they were the finest soldiers I saw' in Africa. Their training is revealing itself In unmatched fighting ability. All America can take pride in those soldiers and in our air force. Commenting on the British soldiers he saw in Africa, the armored foice chief said: I have never seen healthier-looking soldiers than the British; they are battle-hardened, neat in appearance and mentally alert.

Their rations are certainly as abundant as those of American troops and, in some instances, more varied." Lend-lease equipment sent to the British by the United States was highly praised by the English, General Devers declared. I heard nothing but the highest praise for our armored vehicles, the M-4 medium tank, the M-5 light lank, and particularly the M-7 self-propelled artillery, which Amerira sent to Egypt last fall and which were used with annihilating effect against Rommel's Af-rika korps. LONDON, Feh. 6. OP) -The liberal archbishop of Canteibury, who has oul lined a post-war world for Ihe common man, denounced yesterday a world hank plan he said had been put forward in the United Stales with the idea of controlling the credit of the world.

The aichbishop said the plan contemplates absolute fluidity of BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 6. (UP) Governor C. A. Bottolfsen today signed a bill repealing the Idaho senior citizens grant act that provided $40 a month pensions to Idahos older residents.

The governor, in a special message to the state legislature, at the same time recommended an appropriation approximately over that appropriated two years ago" for old-age assistance. He further recommended that an interim committee be appointed to give further study to the Grant act and public assistance in general, taking particular notice of the need for a financial program and be prepared to submit its findings at some future legislature, be it a special session or the biennial session two years hence." Appeals to Patriotism. The governor appealed to the patriotism of the senior citizens and coined the phrase that the senior citizens grant act has gone to war. "I appeal to the people of Idaho those 75,000 who favored the Grant act as well as the many thousands who did not express themselves in the last election to have confidence in the statement that this matter will be given further study and equitable adjustment at some future date, Bottolfsen said. "I ask for whole-hearted unity, understanding and confidence.

Many thousands of our young men are in he armed services at this time and many additional thousands are likely to be called before hoslililies cease. That means that every one of us must undergo untold sacrifices. Only for Duration. Let the people realize that we shall not permit suffering or privation, but that for the duration only, ihe senior citizen's grant act has joined wilh ail the other patriotic endeavors of Idaho and has gone to war. Although I reluctantly sign the bill, I feel confident this does not mean permanent disapproval of the act.

It can be resurrected at any funlure time. Praises Unselfish Legislators. The governor praised the legislature for its "unselfish, nonpartisan, conscientious consideration given he grant act. Your decision, by more than two-thirds of each branch, to repeal the initiative act, is certainly courageous, in the face of the over- tions at the site of the depot, one of the first phases of construction. The bottom shot shows Major Arthur B.

Smith, executive officer for the Spokane area engineers, measuring nine inches of snow on top of the depot supply units, with other bits of construction in the background. Heres a brief pictorial history of construction during less than one year at the massive Spokane army air depot at Galena under direction of Major Arthur C. Nauman, Spokane area engineer for the Seattle district of the United States army engineers. The top picture shows rolling wheat fields a short year ago. The middle picture shows rock excava labor so that people may be tians-ferred not only trom one part of their country to another but trom one counliy to another." That means you are treating human beings primarily as instruments of production, he said.

"That is simply immoral." Refer! ing to the bank, the church authority said: As far as I know it will be lcsponsihle to nobody. I do not see who there is to whom it could possibly be responsible. "We have not got anything like a world government and are plainly not going to have it for some time to come," the archbishop said. So you would have an instance of irresponsible power. "Its economic convenience I see perfectly well but if you regard it as axiomatic thht irresponsible power is always an evil you will be shy of this expedient, coming in at this stage of human history.

The body will be removed to Spokane for Traffic Count Pends for Marine Officer Today, less than a year after work was initiated last March 16, construction of the multi-million-dollar Spokane army air depot at Galena is on the way in, to take the words of Major Arthur C.

Nauman, Spokane area engineer for the United States army engineers. During this year of 194.1, all present depot construction directives will be completed," he said. Raising of the mammoth service station of the air" from the rolling wheat fields of Galena, west of Spokane, to its present peak of construction, with the anticipation that facilities will be in such a state of completion by the second quarter of this year that the depot administrative offices may be moved to Galena, is an achievement of intriguing interest to Spokane folk. In September of 1941, the Chamber of Commerce organized a drive and raised more than $120,000 in six days to purchase the site of the depot, thus giving the people of Spokane a personal as well as a civic interest in the development. Major Nauman Engineer.

Next step was establishment of the Spokane area engineer office February 9, 1942, approximately two months after Pearl Ilaibor, and the assignment of Major Nauman as area engineer. Measured in millions of dgllars, the cost of the air depot is as great as 1 hat of any single military installation of any type in this vicinity. Separate construction units and buildings included in the assignment of the depot range in type from airbase runways, intricate machinery installations, railroad spurs, tremendous warehouse units, water supply syslem, portable hangars, electrical syslem, 10-ton incinerator, and special sewage system to sentry boxes, patrol road, a chape), mobile hospital facilities, civilian housing, a healer, recreation buildings and ordinary roads. More than 60 contracts are in force with civilian construction firms ho work under the army engineer supervision. Twenty-six of these are prime contractors, the remainder are subcontractors and a goodly number of both are local firms.

The prime conti act list includes: Clifton Applegale and Henry Georg, Anderson Building company, Roy L. Bair, A. M. Ben-gel, Bumstead-Woolford, J. 11.

Collins Consolidated Electrical Contractors, Electric Smith, Erickson Paving company and K. L. Goulter Gaaslund Construction company, K. L. Gouller, Henry Hagman, Walter Hale, Hansen Weidner, Hawkins Armstrong, Hazen Clark, A1 Johnson Construction company James Leek, Spencer B.

Lane company, Lord Loryea, Clyde M. Ludhers company, R. L. Moss Northwest Pavers, Sather Sons, Sound Construction Engineering, Standard Plumbing Heating company and Ford J. Twails company, and Zah-niser Warren.

Seven of the typical prime contracts range from approximately $750,000 to between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000 each. When construction started about 200 civilian conlrac tors workers were employed, while the peak of more than 2500 was utilized last fall. More than 1000 are now employed on the project. New work may be directed and to what extent this may affect the ultimate completion date of the depot is not known, says Major Nauman. Indicative of the constant increase in size of the depot to meet war needs is the fact that a construction contract was let for a $1,750,000 machine shop and two days later the contract was ordered changed to add $1,000,000 to this unit.

War-time construction differs greatly from peace-time construction, and the Spokane army air depot is a fine example of his difference, says Major Nauman. "Military necessity insists on rapid construction while sudden shortages present almost insurmountable difficulties. Winter weather, plus four severe shortages, have made Spokane army air depot construction more complicated than the already intricate blueprints with their great range of types of construction. These shortages are materials, equipment, equipment repair parts and labor. It is not an exciting account, this battle against shortages, says Major Nauman, but in order that airplane repair buildings, supply buildings and living quarters may rise in the service of Uncle Sam this battle must be waged daily.

6. (P) Secretary Wickard announced yesterday that the agricultural department had established a $200,000,000 war-time food production loan program under which the government will assume losses from crop failures on products needed for the war. Farmers planting designated crops may borrow funds to cover planting, cultivating and harvesting. They will be obligated to repay only to the extent of the value, of the crops produced. In event of a complete failure the loan will be canceled.

Crops on which the loans are offered include those involving high production risks or which farmers would not otherwise grow. Loans will be made by the county agricultural war boards from funds provided by the regional Agricultural Credit corporation. That your motives are patriotic, no one can deny. The voters of the stale must be impressed by the sincerity of the report of your joint committee, upon whose recommendation you acted. MARION, III.

(UP) Petty Officer First Class Don Lingle of the Marion navy recruiting office wants to buy Uncle Sam a battleship, and he and a blue-eyed pig named King Neptune already have corralled $62,000 toward the cause. The 263-pound Hereford, given to the recruiting staff by a dairy of West Frankfort, was about to be converted into pork dinners when Lingle suggested: "Let's auction him off for Bonds and Stamps. Auclions were held at West Frankfort, Marion and Herrin, the latter swelling Ihe total by $50,000. Another was scheduled at Benton, III. The auctions are unique, in that highest bidders arent entitled to keep the pig.

Id like to see King Neptune auctioned enough times to buy a battleship or cruiser, Lingle said. Then we would take him on a personal appearance tour of the Japanese coast. FIRE CHIEF DIES ATSEDRO WOOLLEY SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Feb. 6. (P) William E.

WASHINGTON, Feb.

5. Administration leaders mapped out today a program that may give the house next week its busiest session since the new congress convened Topping the weeks business as outlined by Speaker Rayhurn was legislation, already passed by the senate, for merger of Ihe Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies. Backed by government officials and heads of the two companies, the bill was expected to draw the fire of labor advocates when it comes up Monday. Principal complaint of the oppo sition is that the bill does not contain proper safeguards for thp thousands of employees who would be affected by a merger. Virtually all the workers are members of unions.

Others on Menu. Other legislation which adminis-Iration leaders hope Ihe house will dispose of next week deals with lend-lease, appropriations for independent offices, the Dies committee and creation of a special committee to check on departmental activities. A spirited but unsuccessful fight against continuance of the Dies committee, set up five years ago to investigate un-American activities, was in prospect. Representative Marcantonio (Am. N.

has announced he would oppose continuance, but Chairman Dies Texas) piedicted the group would win an overwhelming vote of confidence as it has in past years. Privately objectionable to some administration iieulenants, the resolution calling for congressional scrutiny of departmental actions appeared headed for certain approval with the backing of the Republican minority and many Democrats. Would Hold Reins. Sponsoied by Representative Smith it would set up a five-man committee to check on all orders and regulations of government agencies to see that they did not violate constitutional rights of citizens or transgress beyond the intentions of congress. The resolution, Smith said, was in keeping with the determination of the new congress to "do its own legislating.

Should the foreign affairs committee clear in time legislation to extend the lend-lease program for another year, Rayburn said it would he put to a house vote next week. Little opposition has developed to the proposal. The economy bloc expects to get its first big opportunity to go into high gear during the week when the appropriations committee sends to the floor the independent offices supply bill, containing funds for the next fiscal year for such agencies as OPA, WPB and olher war-born departments.
