DEMAND CONTINUES
FOR AUTO STAMPS
Three Clerks Kept Busy
Issuing "Stickers" at
Local Post Office

With only nine days remaining
for the purchase Of federal us stamps
for automobiles, trucks and motor
cycles in use on the highways, a
continued demand TO rthe new
stickers was very much in evidence
at the post office today.
All three OF the stamp windows
were kept busy most of the morning
dispensing these stickers, as well
as postage and defense savings
stamps. Several thousand of the
automobile stamps have now been
purchased by Waterburians, and
many thousands more will be sold
between now and the first of Feb
ruary, deadline for their purchase.
The stickers cost $2.10 and cover
the period from February / to
July /, by which time new stamps
will have been issued, at cost Of
IS apiece, for the ensuing fiscal
year.
Postal officials say there is no OBJ
lection to purchase of the stamps by
proxy, as long as the revenue

Nelson also eliminated OPM's di-

principally by the production divi-

Odlum had suggested the change and

Nelson termed the present setup
as principally IAN interim" organ

He said he was making but one
approach to the reorganization-"to
get the maximum production Of war
material in the shortest possible

Nelson also created the following

ton without compromise provisions
would have required the approval of
the respective American govern
ments. 1t was believed improbable
that the 81 nations would break
with the Axis simultaneously, al
though 10 of the countries might
act in concert.
1t was believed that Chile also
would agree to the reported COM
promise rather than remain the
lone holdout, inasmuch as Chilean
objections to the original resolution
were similar to those of Argentina.
In Chile's case the domestic po-
litical situation is complicated by
the presidential campaign terminal
ing with the Feb. elections.
No official confirmation Of the
compromise was available following
the adjournment of a 50-minute
plenary session Of the full hemi-
sphere defense committee which is
handling the severance resolution,
although it was stated in Brazilian
foreign office quarters close to
Aranha that the redraft had been
approved.
Argentine Foreign Minister En-
rique Ruiz Guinazu left the commit
tee session with Aranha. Both were
smiling.
1t was understood that the re-
drafted resolution contains three
additional points which reconcile
Argentina's position. While Chilean
support for the compromise was be-
ing sought, it was believed that
the redraft was being prepared for
presentation to the hemisphere de-
Tense committees Thursday meet

Delay in officially announcing the
compromise to the committee was
believed due to the necessity of

as they fled toward Vyazma and
Smolensk, on the road along which
Napoleons broken grand army re-
treated in 1872.
Lieut.. Gen. Lenoid Govorov, who
led the Russian army which cap
tured Mozhaisk, said in a special
broadcast from the front today:
TN several sectors the Germans
are now retreating in panic, leaving
arms and materials. They frequently
give themselves up.
1.-THE Red army has now the task
of clearing Soviet soil Of German
Fascists."
Military experts here believed the
Germans would be forced back to
the Bryansk-Vyazma- Rzhev line 70
miles west of MoZhaisk. But Russia
already had reported its troops with
in 60 miles of Smolensk, and reports
that the Russians were throwing
hundreds of thousands OF crack re-
serves, splendidly equipped, into Its
advanced lines caused hope that the
Germans might have to fall back to
the Smolensk line, 100 miles beyond
Vyazma.
In addition to announcing the
recapture of Mozhaisk, the Russian
midnight communique claimed the
capture of Ostashkov, just south OF
Lake Seliger and 100 miles north OF
Smolensk, In a drive which made it
possible for the Red Army to now
develop pincers movements against
either the Leningrad front or Smol-
ensk.
Radio Leningrad said that up to
1000 Germans had been killed yes
terday in strong points which the
Russians blasted in their new drive,
and that field guns, machine gun
posts and quantities of war mate
rails had been destroyed. One unit
was credited with killing $50 Ger
mans. The Firms were said by Mos
COW radio to have lost 500 men in
seven counter-attacks in which they
vainly tried to take the village, IN"
on the Finnish front north of Lenin-
grad.
The Germans defended Mozhaisk
desperately They had fortified it fol-
miles around, and almost every house
had been made a strongpoint. They
had never even pretended that it
was one of those places from which
they were retreating according to
plan" They had meant to hold II
through the winter. 1t was felt here
that Hitler had suffered humiliat-
ing defeat.
Gen. Govorov, In his broadcast
from the front, recorded here by
the United Press. gave a dramatic
story of the IA day offensive which
started Jan. 7 and really got under
way three days later when the first
German line broke under the Rec
army attack.
AT $3.50 a. m. Tuesday my troops
occupied Mozhaisk," he said.
Thus ends the second stage o!
the attacking operations in the MOI
haisk direction. The first stage wa!
aimed at the destruction Of enemy
groups in the zvenigorod direction.

TYPHUS SPREADS

Spain and that therefore the gov
eminent was doing all it could to i'm
munize its troops in the middle east.
A United Press Vichy dispatch said
yesterday that a high health minis
try officials had confirmed a dis
quitting" outbreak of typhus in
North Africa, especially In Algeria,
and that special measures were be-
ing taken to prevent the disease
from reaching France.
The London radio said last night,
In German language program, that
French war prisoners, released from
Germany, had taken typhus to
North Africa.
Overcrowding and poverty tend to
encourage typhus, which is spread
by lice. Armies in the field are
especially susceptible. Reports
which have filtered through Europe
during the last few weeks have indi-
Gated that the typhus now spread
ing came from behind the German
lines on the Russian front.
Conditions in continental Europe
were peculiarly favorable to typhus
because of general malnutrition, I'M
usual cold and lack of fuel and hot

ENGLISH CHURCH
HEAD RESICNINC
Continued from Page y

The archbishop said his heath
was excellent and in ordinary times
he might have continued in office
few years longer, but the times
are not ordinary; we are passing
the greatest crisis the country has
had to meet in all its long history.
THE times demand of those who
have any responsibilities and lead
erships an ardor. vigor and decisive
ness of mind ard spirit which can
not be expected of g. man in mis-
18th year." he continued.
| He will be 70 next Oct. 81.
Further, and perhaps the chief
reason of my decision, is, that when
the war is over, great tasks OF re-
construction must await the church
as well as the state. Preparation
for those tasks must begin now
He pointed out that the confer
ence of Lambeth must meet as soon
as the war is ended, and it will
meet in new world and may have
momentous influence in determining
the place of the church in the new
world"
He said that even if the confer
ence met as early as 1914, he would
| be 80. That was the only hint OF
| his opinion on the wars duration.
Thus Archbishop Lang, bachelor
described as a tall Scots scholar,
white haired, with an air of patri-
archal authority" followed the
example of his predecessor, the late
Lord Davidson, who resigned in
| 1923, when he was 80, the first
Archbishop of Canterbury to resign
since the tenure of Augustine I,
1872 centuries ago.
A diplomat and a courtier, the
| Archbishop nevertheless is frank
beyond diplomacy. During the first
World War, he spoke of my pleas
ant memories of the kaiser" He
never altered his opinion.
| He was one of former King Ed
wards severest critics and his I'M
yielding attitude undoubtedly played
a large part in his abdication.
After Edward had surrendered
the throne Ito marry the woman
love-" the archbishop commented in
a radio address that it was strange
and sad that Edward had aban-
doned his trust to seek private
happiness"
| Archbishop Lang was not always
an Anglican; like many of his fell
low Scots he was reared a Presby-
terrain.
| After a brilliant career at Oxford,
| he went to London TO study law.
Shortly before he was to have been
called to the bar, friend took him
to the East End slums, where he
met ID. Wilmington Ingram, IA
nous welfare worker who later De-
came Bishop of London.
His acquaintance with DR.. Ingram
convinced him that he belonged to
the church.
Having abandoned his legal career
and taken Holy Orders, he was Or
dained when he was 26 and became
curate of poor parish in Leeds.
He was later transferred to st.
Mary's Oxford, the University
church, and occupied the pulpit
made famous by John Henry New
man, before Newman became a car
dinal of the Catholic Church.
From oxford he was transferred
to Portsea, the largest parish in
England at that time. Queen Vic
toria, who spent her summers at
Osborne on the Isle of Wight, just
across the channel, heard of him
and sent for i'm to preach to her.
He became one of her favorites
and his future was almost assured.

Hollywood, Jan. 21.-(UP)-When
Carole Lombard married Clark
Gable in 1899, there was no whoop-
de-do. They drove to Kingman,
Ariz., In the coupe of their friend
and press agent, Otto Winkler, said
their VOWS, and came home again.
They held a reception at Carole's
house. The only guests we're their
old friends, the newspaper report
ers. Everybody had big time, host
and hostess included, and that was
all there was to the wedding OF
Mr.. and Mrs. G. nearly all. any
how.
Carole tried to sell the house, but
there was no takers. According to her
the folks were a little leery about
the human heads buried in the back
yard. She wasn't spoofing, either.
They were genuine shrunken heads
from the wilds of South America,
presented to her by an admiring ex-
plorer. She buried 'em under the
petunias after he left.
Eventually she rented the place to
Director Alfred Hitchcock. Not un-
til he signed the lease did she tell
him about the skulls under his bed
room window.
Mr.. and Mrs. G., meantime, had
moved into home like that of no
other movie star. Their combined
income approached 81 900 900 a year
and they could have had solid gold
door knobs and Roman bath If
they'd wanted it. They didn't.
You get enough of that flossy
business on the sound stages
Carole explained in showing visitors
around the establishment, which
wasn't any larger nor any fancier
than yours or mine.
They had no swimming pool, be-
cause Miss Lombard said pools were
good only for breeding mosquitoes
They had one bedroom, because she
said what was the use Of house
guests, anyhow? They did have an
elegant front porch, though, for sit
ling around purposes, and living
room furnished with some of the
biggest, softest couches ever seer
IN these parts.

Before the compromise was re-

reservations, in the economic and
solidarity projects while holding out
against a break in relations with
