U.S. officer killed
New Delhi, India (AP) – (July 24, delayed)
Capt. Howard M. Lammers, United States naval liaison officer at Colombo, Ceylon, was killed today in the crash of an RAF plane. The United States commission here was informed the plane struck a hill upon flying out of a cloud formation.
Capt. Lammers was about 48 years old. He had served in Colombo 18 months.
The doom of Japan. Something they just could not compete with. Never sank a one of them. British Carriers were a bit sturdier but these packed a much bigger punch.

Goldwyn sees end of double features
‘Take too much time,’ says Hollywood producer
Chicago (AP) –
Samuel Goldwyn, the Hollywood producer, foresees an early death for double feature movies.
Twin bills have been taking too much of the time that should be devoted to war subjects, he said yesterday in an interview broadcast by radio station WGN.
By war subjects, Goldwyn said, he meant films that would tell the public how they can best help the government carry on the war to a successful conclusion. He added that the movie industry was now at work on a series of special war films.
Goldwyn said he didn’t approve of pictures that merely poked fun at the Axis, declaring:
There is nothing very funny about the Nazis, the Japs, or even Italy today. Up to now, they’ve done pretty well, and laughing at them isn’t going to beat them. Our job is to mobilize America fully behind the victory effort of her United States. We can laugh at the Axis when this business is over.

Coupon counterfeiters are branded saboteurs
Washington (UP) – (July 25)
Price Administrator Leon Henderson disclosed tonight that gasoline coupon counterfeiters were peddling bogus ration books in the East and declared that these “saboteurs attacking our war program” will be prosecuted promptly and vigorously.
All persons found in possession of the counterfeit books in the 12-state rationed area, he warned, are liable to have their regularly-issued ration book either revoked or withheld.
Henderson warned counterfeiters and their accomplices that authentic coupons are printed on secretly marked paper, which makes it easy to spot bogus coupons.
U.S. wants to buy civilian typewriters
Washington (AP) – (July 25)
Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the War Production Board today appealed to all Americans owning standard-model typewriters, made since Jan. 1, 1935, to sell them to the government.
Earlier this month, Nelson directed a similar appeal to 25,000 business firms and large users of typewriters. Responses were still coming in, he said:
…but it is now apparent that we will also have to obtain many thousands of typewriters from private individuals.
