presence to- the departments
program admitted that he had
discovered the presence of his
legs during fast few minutes of
volleyball one Tuesday night
and is going to discontinue using
one of his two cars. He pointed
out that the exercises proved so
beneficial for himself that he
thought he'd let the wife walk
to, her Civilian Defense duties
and he'd use the car, thereby
resting up for his volleyball
workouts.
In a recent round table dis
cussion by impartial authorities
on the benefits of a fitness pro-
gram the subject was thoroughly
discussed by six men, three re-
presenting the Mortician's Asso-
citation and three representing an
Insurance ring. The participants
were about equally divided in
opinion at the end of the dis
cussion, but a unanimous okay
finally delivered on a fast count
of votes by the chairman. The
Morticians pointed out after
wards that it was difficult to OBJ
tain the services of grave dig
gers these days, anyhow, mas
much as the wage rate for such
work couldn't compare with de-
Tense wages. After the diggers
had spent their former salaries
they were always back in the
hole again, they said.
Perhaps the only genuine pro-
test has been registered by To-

ly remarked that, since partici-
pating in the program, he had to
invest in a belt to hold up trous-

ported by a bay window.

that enough teams may be un-

Women's swimming classes
will be held at the pool at TOO

women who are not too tired af-
ter a day spent at the lathe or
drill press, may participate in
games and exercises in the girls
gymnasium.
After basketball winds up at
900 p. m, a program of games
and exercises under the direc-
ton of Ernest Buckholz will be
offered the public.
Program directors cheered
laggards who may be worrying
about the figure they would cut
as a result of long inaction, by
pointing out that many now par

Farmers
Must Up
Produce

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-R)
The agriculture department
told American farmers today
that the United Nations food
strategy for 1913 placed upon
them the responsibility of pro-
ducing more supplies than ever
before despite shortages of
labor, machinery and equip
ment.
In addition to meeting domes-
tie requirements, agriculture
must supply at least a fourth of
its expected production to a
United Nations pool to feed
military forces and civilians.
This is double the amount that
went into this years pool.
In making known next years
needs, the department outlined
production goals for various
crops and livestock, dairy and
poultry products. They will be
apportioned among farmers on
the OASIS OF available land, man
power and equipment.
In general, the goals called
for sharp increases in the output
of meats, dairy and poultry
products, peanuts for vegetable
oil, corn for livestock feed
long-staple cotton, dry beans
and peas, and potatoes. It asked
that wheat and short staple cot.
ton production be reduced be.
cause present supplies are large
and that the extra land and
labor be used for more essential
products.
Commenting on the Alliec
food needs, the department said
$50 serious has been the los.
of the great food producing ares

Turin was the target in this 23rd
Raj raid of the war on the Ital-
ian mainland and the 18th of the
new aerial offensive against
Mussolini's domain since Oct.

ian-Algerian border had been
reinforced by armored units, in
dicating that the about Allied
attack upon the naval base at
Bizerte and Tunis, the capital

in the Tunisian mountains, TAX

down several Allied bombers
over Tunis. There was no con-
firmation of this enemy claim.

QUIET CONFIDENCE

1t brought no headlines, but Chief
of Staff General Marshall made the
first step toward better cooperation
between Capitol Hill and the Execu-
tive Branch of the government by
holding a quiet conference with key
senators and Representatives.
He gave them an intimate, and
on the whole optimistic, progress re-
port on the war, which left a good
impression with congressional lead
ers. Both Republicans and Demo
Gratis were present, most of them
from the military affairs commit
tees, and also the vice president,
the speakers and other leaders.
General Marshall gave the actual
figures on American losses in North
Africa. These must remain con-
fidential, but they were encouraging
ly small. He explained that one rea-
son for the light casualties was Cen
eral Eisenhower's peace arrange
ment with Admiral Darlan.
General Marshall attached great
Importance to this, since the army,
navy and civilian population in North
Africa were under the influence of
Admiral Darlan. Therefore he sug-
gested to congress that it would be
very helpful if there were no crit
ical speeches of the admiral despite
his Vichy connections.
Admiral Darlan had come to visit
his son who was stricken with in
fantile paralysis, General Marshall
said, then had returned to France.
But when his son suffered relapse,
Darlan came back to North Africa.
Thus it was pure accident, but a
very fortunate one, that he was in
Algiers at the time. Darlan had
given the order Immediately which
resulted in the saving of many
American lives.
General Marshall also paid high
tribute to Robert Murphy, the state
departments charge d'affaires in
France, who spent most of his time
in North Africa. 1t was Murphy who
mapped out most of the advance
political plans of the U. S. army.
General Marshall was also opti-
mistic regarding the amount of Nazi
strength being diverted from the
Russian front, especially airpower.
He felt that Hitler would have to
take more and more planes away
from Russia to protect Italy, now
considered the soft spot of the Axis,
and that Hitler could not lick Russia
without airpower.
Another optimistic part of the war
picture, the chief of staff said, was
New Guinea, where he expects some
real Allied progress against the Japs
at Buna.
Note: Secretary of the Navy Knox
is now following Marshall's cue and
has invited members of the senate
and house naval affairs committees
to have dinner with him some eve
ming soon. AS a result of the cleo
tons, it looks as if the executive
branches of the government had
awakened to the fact that there was
a congress.

HITLER INFLUENCE

If Hitler moves in on Spain, he may
accomplish at one blow what we
have failed to do in nine months of
diplomatic discussions with Argen-
tina. He may force that South Amer
lean country into break with the
Axis.
1t was. Argentina which principally
gummed the works at Rio de Janeiro
last January, when astute Sumner
Welles, undersecretary of state, was
trying to line up all 81 Latin-Amer-
lean countries behind resolution to
break relations.
There Argentina Foreign Minister
Ruiz Guinazu insisted on neutral
ity" and Argentina remained on the
fence.
Ruiz Guinazu is great admirer
of Spain, is proud of his own Span
ish blood. Furthermore, he points
to Spain's tradition of neutrality"
as the best guarantee of peace.
So if the Germans now attack
Spain, the Argentine government
would almost be forced to come to
the defense of the mother country
by breaking relations with the at
lacking country.
Note: Resignation of Argentine
War Minister Tonazzi, a friend of
the United States, is regarded here
as the first important rift in the
Castillo government.
