Federal Regulation
Still In Effect

The federal charge account

counts. which went into effect
last spring. continue to apply,
the buying public is reminded.
With the likelihood of federal
inspectors visiting commercial in

stand to be put on the spot if
there are any violations.
The motive of the regulations
is to prevent initiation, condi.

Wartime Painting

The Chief this week received
a ID by 20 print titled 'Remem-
Der Dec. THU. from the region
al office of Emergency Manage
ment at Denver, with the sug-
gestion that it be displayed in a
conspicuous place.
Eloquent of Americas determ-
ination to crush any power that
would defile Old Glory, the pic
ture is perhaps one of the finest
pieces of art work that to date
has been inspired by war.
The theme is that of Old Glory
flying at half mast. yet despite
Pearl Harbor wounds, it floats
proudly, and with the precious
resolve-''We here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have
died in vain"
In the background is the desc
Grafton of Jap bombs disgrace
fully unleashed upon Pearl Har-
Dor.
A copy of the painting, which
is available without charge at
the Division of Public Inquiries,
Washington. D. c., should be in
every home.

Greeks Harborinq
|Ever-Increasing
Haired forNazis
ItoIiuns Are Not Included
However, in Resentment
At Severe Famine

By Radio to The Star.
SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE, Feb.
2.-Among the numerous atrocity
stories that this war already has
produced, the Greek famine holds
top place. Travellers from Athens de-
pict the ever-increasing hatred of
the Greeks for the German occupiers
who are responsible for the hunger Of
Greece. Strangely the Italian troops
are not included In this hatred.
The Germans former tolerance
changed when the Greeks remained
adamant under the Establishments Of
the new order. Their attitude is now
described as one Of massive requi-
sitions" striking at wealthy Greeks
and indirectly at the poorer classes.
No country estate has escaped occu-
patton, all agricultural products
grown being reserved by the Ger
mans.
Greeks Tighten Belts.
Every house in Athens wealthy
quarter lodges up to three German
or italian officers. German of1cers
can be seen at the Zonar. Athens
high-hat restaurant, while the
Greeks tighten their belts and eat
watery cabbages and potatoes.
The Germans declared that Greece
was Italy's lebensraum but they still
boss Athens and as a result the
odium Of occupation falls on them.
The Italians let the Greeks have
relief. During the worst weeks OF
December, when 1000 died daily from
lack of food in Athens and Piraeus,
italy sent a shipload OF wheat. The
shipment lasted barely a week but
it was enough to make the Greeks
think the Italians preferable to the
Germans both as adversaries and
occupiers.
Prices have risen sky-high lately,
making subsistence impossible for
the poorer classes. One ocke OF po-
tatoes (about 2H lbs) cost 800
drachmas (about So. An ocke OF
cheese, the main nourishment Of the
Greeks. Is 1000 drachmas ($25), an
ocke of meat 1000 ($1250).
Pay Has Not Kept race.
Needless to say the salaries Of the
workers have not increased in pro-
portion to the living costs. Only
factories working for the Germans
are open, the Others closed down and
the owners drawing on their reserves
in order to keep their workers on the
payroll. Employers have organized
what the Greeks call the "syssition'

they guarantee their famished work.
