 Trucks and tanks" he said, could move easily and quickly along this route, forming a continuous lifeline between the United States and AL aska"
 Saying that it was his conviction that this highway is "one of the most important of all things which are waiting to bo done" Secretary Ickes declared that it must be con- structed in hurry. He said army engineers now are surveying route tentatively approved.
 Heavy equipment for construction, he said, would be moved in while the ground still is frozen so progress will not be delayed unduly by the spring thaw.
 The road will run approximately l,500 miles from Washington State to Fairbanks. Ickes estimated it's costs would be from $25,000,000 to $50 ,000,O

 AUSTRALIA
Officials Now Believe h. vasion of Continent
 Is Imminent

CANBERRA, Australia, March 10, The Japanese have made third landing on New Guinea, thus en- larging the forces they are mar shalling there for what Australians are convinced is for an imminent attempt to invade this continent.
 The third landing in New Guinea was at Finsch Haven. where there Is small airfield and also a harbor that can accommodate moderate sized vessels.
 The strength of the new landing force is not stated. but Finsch Haven is only 60 miles east of Lac, which with Salamau. has been the site of previous landings.
 Port Moresby was again air raided today by the Japanese.
 The landing of the new forces and the subsequent bombing of Port Moresby has banished all doubts among Australian officials that this continent may be temporarily over looked in favor of the Japanese drive on India.

ROOSEVELT CALLS FOR
 U. S. UNITY
President Says Home Front Is as Important as
 Battle Zone

WASHINGTON, March l0-Presi- dent Roosevelt told the nation last night that the fight against infla- tion is as vital as fighting on the war fronts, and that it calls for cooperation and restraint on the part of every group. The President spoke in a radio talk in connection with the National Farm Program.
 MT. Roosevelt said the program calls for mutual good will and will ingness, for belief in fellow men, for good faith, for unflagging vigilance, for effective action by the Govern ment to prevent profiteering and unfair returns alike, for services and for goods.
 The President referred to a con- siderable amount of discussion late ly about alleged complacency on the part of the American people, but said he was certain that the Am erican people now are not com placent and have not been so.
 Tt seems to me-" he said, that we ought to feel proud of the un- doubted fact that we are getting cooperation on a reasonably fair balance from 90 per cent of our population. If less than 10 per cent Of the population is chiseling, we still have a pretty good national record.

FORCE CHANGE OF
 NAz| PLANS
Hitler Fears Russians May Break Through to
 Germany

LONDON, March 10-Hitler is re- ported to be digging deep into his reserve manpower and moving up forces for a gigantic spring of- fensive against Leningrad and Ros- toy, to smash Russia and end the growing threat to Germany proper.
 The Germans are said to fear that if anything went wrong around Leningrad, the .Russians might smash right through the Bal tic States into Germany.
 Reliable sources report that con- fidential advices are coming out of so many quarters to this effect that they ''are almost certainly &C., curate."
 Indications are that the Germans have abandoned earlier plans to fight defensive war in the north and will carry on sharp offen- sive battle in the south, instead.
 Hitler appears to be planning a general attack because of the Red Army's unexpected successes in the Staraya Russian area and the weak ening of the Films.

Japanese Outrages Ln Hongkong Reuealed
Thousands Are Donating
 To Nation's Blood Bank,
 Even Some (ongressmen
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, March 10-The Red Cross says that since Pearl Harbor, more than 55,000 persons have donated to the nations blood bank
 The following little item isn't intended to detract one bit from any one of those. They've done their bit and more. But among them is a little group that de- serves special mention in my book. Here's why:
 I have never known member of Congress to shy away from helpful publicity-that is, not until now But up in the Capitol, the number of congressman who have volunteered blood has reach ed such a level that Dr. G. w. Calver, Congressional physician, has had to organize a Capitol branch of the blood bank And one specific stipulation is that there is to be NO publicity about it.
 Typical of the secrecy surround ing these donations is the case of Sen. Tom Connally, of Texas, GA years old. The senator is no shrink ing violet when it comes to getting his name on page 1. But was only by chance that it leaked out that he had been one of the first to get himself okayed. Today, if you ask him about his trip to the blood bank hospital he'll tell you, T don't know what you are talking about and besides don't you make out that contributing to the blood bank is publicity stunt, because it isn't"

WASHINGTON = Some pointed questions regarding rubber supplies to the big tire and rubber con- panies have been prepared by the Truman Committee to be fired at Jesse Jones and Leon Henderson.
 Among other things the commit tee will ask whether it is true CD that Goodyear, Goodrich, Firestoae and U. s. Rubber were permitted to draw 6 percent more rubber than normally during the past year; CD whether Montgomery Ward stocked up with $6O,OOO0O0 worth of tires; (3) whether big trucking firms have stocked up with three years sup ply of tires. ct was, of course, the privilege of any individual or corporation to stock up with strong reserves prior to Pearl Harbor and the rationing of rubber, but the committee is interested in locat- ing the big sources of supply for the war effort0
 The Truman Committee received information from the Tariff Com mission regarding the above ques- tions and asked Leon Henderson and Jesse Jones about them in a closed door session. The two de- fense moguls did not seem to know the answers. Jesse Jones passed the buck on to Henderson, who, he said, was in charge of consumer matters.
