CHINA:
Change of Policy

'There has been definite change
in policy since July /. (This was
the date on which regular U. S.
army air forces started operations
in China.) Hankow, Canton and
other cities in occupied China which
were never bombed before have
been bombed now"
So began hard-hitting statement
from the headquarters of Brig. Gen.
Claire L. Chennault, chief OF air
operations against the Japs in
China.
'We are going deeper and deeper
into China. All cities under Japa-
nese occupation will be bombed.
There will be a more active policy
from now on. You can draw your
own conclusions as to what will hap
pen," he further stated.
Meanwhile, concrete evidence OF
this new surge of strength was re-
vealed in an announcement from
Lieut.. Gen. Joseph Stillwell s
Chungking headquarters which said
that Linchwan, important base for

FRIENDSHIP?

It's not easy for children to

uhen a major change occurs in

certain to find friends if they are

to find nerO friends.

His doctor had ordered him to rest
because of his extreme exhaustion
but Mohandas K. Gandhi was again
on the road to beating down the Brit
ish and he would not be stopped.
After six days of discussion at
Wardha, Gandhi's All-India Congress
party's working committee agreed to
adopt his project for a step-up In
moral pressure to force Great Brit
ain to give India full freedom i'm
mediately.
News out of New Delhi indicated
that this step came as triumph for
the 72-year-old advocate of Indian
nationalism over Pandit Jawaharlal
Nehru, left-wing leader of the party.
Nehru has been described as the
best friend the United Nations have
in India and thus it appeared that
any movement to force freedom
from Britain would be so carried
out as to refrain from interfering
with the war effort there. For most
sources did not believe Nehru would
have been won over so easily If he
thought the United Nations cause
would be endangered.

CEILINGS:
Some Changes

When first the General Maximum
Price regulation was introduced it
was pretty difficult to adjust cases
that appeared to be directly harm
ing someone unfairly. This has now
been amended to permit Leon Hen
derson's Office of Price Admins
tration to adjust ceiling prices in GER
tain Hardship cases."
Frozen fruits and vegetables were
among the first ceilings to face adj
justment. Ceiling prices on these
products are being increased to pre-
vent crops from rotting in the field
because of increased gathering and
packing costs.
Price relief will also soon be
granted for jams, jellies and pre-
serves.
Some idea of the amount OF
money to be spent, taxed or saved
throughout the country in the COM
ing months came from Commerce
Secretary Jesse Jones in a state
ment to the effect that the American
people in 1943 will have over
$50, 900, 100000 more income than
"the value of things for which the
money can be spent"

ment-appointed counsel which tried
to give these enemy agents the
benefit of all doubt as to their guilt.
Extensive cross-examination by
defense counsel of prosecution wit
nesses slowed testimony but during
the trial little information leaked out
to the news-hungry public.
Elmer Davis, director of the Of
fee of War Information, had tough
round with the court in getting re-
lease on any news whatsoever. He
did get two daily press releases but
they were described as "circum-
sspect."

RUSSIA:
Deepest Drive

Even Moscow admitted 1t. The
powerful Nazi thrust had finally
driven deeper into Soviet territory
than at any time before in the his
tory of the war. Last year it was
toward Moscow that drive pene-
trated to its farthest point.
But the current German cam
paign wasn't headed directly that
way. Its spearhead had thrust It
self across the Don river and swung
around the big bend of that river
heading southeastward down the
valley toward Stalingrad.
Though there were immense
losses of Nazi men and machines
Hitler kept on going for he wanted
Stalingrad on the vital Volga. But
even more he wanted what he could
find beyond i. the rich oil pools
of THE CAUCASUS.
The Moscow-Rostov railway had
been cut earlier and Soviet commu-
nications thus suffered hard blow.
When the Germans slash across and
solidate their positions on the Volga
it means that still another highly
important link between the final bat
tleground for the Caucasus and Mos
cow would be severed. Crumpling
of their forces further to the north
of Rostov would also leave the Rus
slams open to a hard new push by
floods of Nazis released from that
battle sector.
Russia's hope was the heavy toll
of German strength that was being
extracted as the Reds fell back in
their delaying action all along the
fighting front. German claims OF
success spoke of the breaking OF
''local resistance everywhere. ;"
Some military sources were inclined
to agree with them in this regard
but there was speculation as to
whether or not communicates like
this one were true:
In one days fighting Germany los'
only six planes and on the same
day Russian losses were set at 8;
tanks and IA planes.
Berlin said so, but Moscow didn't

MISCELLANY:

TIRES: President Roosevelt's
press conference heard him say that
if the war situation gets worse than
at present, the government may
have to requisition every automo-
bile tire in the United States.
CHIEF: u. S. army air forces
have as their new commander-in-
chief in the European area Maj.
Gen. Carl Spaatz.
OPERATIONS: The department
of agriculture will continue to OPP
crate despite the fact that congress
is wrangling over its current appro-
priations as a resolution to finance
it for a month cleared both legisla-
tive chambers.
TRAINING: To house trainee
radio aviation operators, the Tech
nical Training command is taking
over the worlds largest hotel-the
Stevens in Chicago. Also taken
over was the Congress hotel in the
same city.
WELCOME: The Soviet sub which
blasted two torpedoes into the 81, 00t
ton Nazi battleship Tirpitz in Arctic
waters has been officially welcomed
home at its base by the admiral o
the feet.
WOMEN: British women Of 4
years of age have now registered
for war service, bringing the tota
number of women so registered t.
eight million. War industries an,
Momen's auxiliary services ar
claiming them at the rate Of 1900
a day.

GREER CARSON claims that
NJ Loretta Toomey is the good
luck stand-in of Hollywood. Miss
Toomey was stand-in for Sonia
Henie, Ellen Drew and Joan
Davis before going to Metro to
be stand-in for Hedy Lamar
and Ruth Hussey. All of them
did all right, you'll remember.
Three years ago she became MISS
Garson's stand-in-and how that
young woman has forged ahead!
Now Miss Carson has lent her for
second time (the first was when
Theresa Wright got her for some
scenes in "Mrs. Miniver"O to Susan
Peters, for scenes when Miss Gar

Harvest; they're rivals for Ronald
Colman's affections, in the picture,
but never meet.
Incidentally, some exhibitors
thought so highly of "Mrs. Miniver'
that they advocated showing it at
advanced prices. But the sugges-
ton was turned down, on the theory
that this swell picture really belongs
to the people, and that the greatest
number should see it in the short
est possible time. Nicholas M.

The Moores have two daughters,

had to deal with the Australians
again. His mobile columns and ar
tillery had smashed the British back
in a headlong drive that had dan
gerously extended his communication
lines back to Bengasi and Tobruk.
And then at Ell Alamein the British
army of the Nile, reinforced by
Australians, let him have it.
They chose the coastal route to
slap back. Along the Mediterranean
they rushed at the Nazi and Italian
forces who had little time to dig in
and consolidate their positions. The
British, South African and New Zea-
land desert units threw out an of
fensive to the south and west Of their
FL Alamein line and the Aussies
charged in against the German
| tanks.
Reports from Cairo said that they
were using a new type of anti-tank
gun and they used it at shorter
range than usual. It had been a
| pre-dawn assault and some of the
| enemy had been caught mapping.
/ Time after time the Aussies were
way out in front of their supporting
tanks. They overran enemy gun po-
sitions and in some cases turned
the guns around to the west and
fired at the German-Italian positions
beyond.
| There developed later, however,
the most important angle of the
battle for the Suez. It was an all
out air battle. Rommel had suf-
fered some heavy plane losses as
he kept hammering the British back
but now his air strength seemed to
be strengthened. For as the Aus.
sizes caught his tanks temporarily of
guard, RommePs planes rose te
blast the advance British lines. This
seemed to mean that from some
where had come help.
Ans,Uer In Crete?
Experts looked toward Crete fol
the answer. For on that island il
the Mediterranean were based tht
Nazi ace in the hole. This consisted
of the powerful plane force and thu

: island from the Greeks last yea
and which now were poised to re

RATIONING:
Gasoline

Gasoline
About 100000 eastern motorists
were to get their basic permanent
gasoline coupon books, said OPA,
and local boards were instructed to
insist on complete proof of eligible
ity and need before granting sup
Elemental rations of any kind.
However, congressman, members
of state and local legislatures, and
other government officials will be
eligible for special rations" for use
in legislative or official business.
Bona fde political candidates may
have extra rations for travel neces-
sary to the prosecution of their can
didacies. Newspaper reporters and
photographers will be eligible for
supplementary rations up to a guam
tity sufficient to permit 470 miles
of occupational driving per month If
they can meet car pooling provi-
sions.
Gasoline stations which have been
supplying war workers will be
granted increased monthly quotas
and the WPB granted OPA author
ity to require filling station opera
tors to submit coupons or other evil
dence that rationing regulations are
being complied with when gasoline
is delivered to their stations.
Tires
Eligible motorists may be refused
new tires by local rationing boards
if an inspectors report shows that
the purchaser has abused his old
tires, according to an announce
ment made by OPA. Also local
boards may receive application for
new tires from purchasers OF trac-
tors, farm implements, and other
vehicles sold without tires.
BILLIONS:

| Congressional war appropriations
now total more than $225, 000, Zoo, 600,
but the U. S. actually has spent
less than 40 billions, according to
current War Production board fig
ures. There is an average daily
rate of expenditures for war by gov.
eminent agencies of $158,60O, 600
Last month the WPB bureau Of
finance obtained $62, 120, 464 in the
form of loans or advances on pay
