HOME FRONT:
AU-Out Effort

From the announcement by OPM
that there was not a single work
stoppage in any war factory to the
report that all new-car production
and sale had been halted, it was evil
dent that we were really at war.
The ban on tire sales and the
subsequent rationing had been sim
ply ascribed to the closing Of Pa
cific raw rubber supplies, and peo-
pie shrugged their shoulders.
But the hating of new car produc-
ton, and the announcement by the
United States that the entire output
of CSC, 1000 units would not be enough
for essential needs such as cars for
physicians, fire departments, ambu-
lances, etc., and that it would all
be needed for such persons began
to show the population what war
really meant.
Car owners began driving less and
less, to preserve their cars for long
er periods, not knowing when they
would be able to buy another. Fac
tories and assembly lines were be-
ing revamped for tank and armored
truck production.
The "recapping'' of tire. which
had been a mystery to most auto
owners now became necessity and
places equipped to do this work
were doing a landoffice business.
Followed the announcement by a
senate group considering price con-
trolls that wages also would be con-
trolled. The wage control proposal,
however, was not to be thrown into
the hands of the same agency which
would have charge of price mainte-
nance.
Taxes up to half of the national
income were expected for next year,
and the $72, 1000, 900 Vanderbilt estate.

Japs Decide
Yanks are
Tough Foes

BERLIN .(From G. er m n
Broadcasts), April 20-(P)-The
Tokyo newspaper Nichi Nichi has
corrected the Japanese press on a
recent statement that of all Jap
ans foes the Chinese soldiers
are the toughest.
The Americans now head
NiChi Nichi's list.
Earlier the Chinese had been
ranged ahead of the Russians
(whom the japanese fought on
the Korean border in 1888 and
on the Manchukuo border in
1880, British, Americans, Aus
tralians and Indians.
Nichi Nichi said that the
weak showing made by the
British and Americans in the
East Asia war was the result of
the fact that an essential part Of
their forces consisted OF native
troops who fought unenthusiasti-
Cally.
In more recent fighting be-
tween Japanese and United
States troops, Nichi Nichi said,
the Americans proved TO be con-
siderably tougher than the Chin
csc when fighting under COM
parable conditions.

one way or the other on the
handsome star currently appear

The truth is, though, that Vic

the estate formerly owned by
Valentino. and he already has a
fine collection of mementoeS of
the former star. Vic doesn't give
a boot whether people say that
in buying the house he is trying
to be another Valentino. For
years Mature has been quietly
collecting art objects once owned
by the great lover of silent

When the opportunity arose
to buy the cs ate, Mature was
overjoyed. And though friends
counselled against buying it be-
cause Of the subsequent rubbing

Mature is all set to 60 ahead

Chinese SWoop
Down on laps
Reeopture City
in Burmo Oil Belt

CHUNGKING, April 20-tP)
Chinese troops which swooped
down from the northeast have
recaptured Yenangyaung, in the
heart Of the West Burma oil
fields, after two days of bitter
fighting, and have released a
British force of several thouS-
and men from enlightenment by
the japanese, a Chinese commu-
nique said today.
(The British announced yes
terday that Chinese forces are
now operating with our troops
on the lrrawaddy 'front.' where
the Yenangyaung oil fields were
destroyed last week before the
japanese could fight their way
into the area).
The Chinese headquarters said
the troops which won back Yen
angyaung attacked from Kyauk-
padaung, 30 miles TO the north
japanese casualties in the en-
suing fight were more than 500,
the communique reported. Chi
nese losses were placed at more
than 100.
"a military spokesman in Lon
don, without giving any details
of the battle along the IRA
waddy, said the fighting con-
tinued heavy and that British
forces at Taungdwingyi, midwest
between the Irrawaddy and the
Salween, were holding their po-
sitions guarding the flank of Chi
neSe troops TO the east.
The Chinese acknowledge yes
terday that their advanced forces
on that flank had been forced
TO withdraw from MyohIa some
20 miles north to the vicinity of

(P)-American parachute troops

off the land by eating grass or
gnawing the bark off trees.
This is no fanciful theory, DR.
Gustav j. Martin of the Warner
Institute for Therapeutic Re
search, New York City, told the
American Chemical Society to-
day. II has actually been done
with both rats and men.
The secret is in getting the
right kind of bacteria into the
intestines. This can be done by
the administration Of a honey
like chocolate tasting fluid con-
tanning the bacteria for period
of about a month,
DRIVE GERMS OUT
These bacteria lrive other
germs out of the system and
make it possible for a person to
eat leaves, grass or Wood-any-
thing containing Cellulose-and
to convert it into useful food.
The process is primarily one Of
enabling the digestive system to
synthesi~a the factors of the Wit
amin B complex, DR.. Martin de
clared.
There is no question of the
fact that these bacteria synthc-
size various Vitamin B complex
factors" he declared "Pantho-
thenic acid, the anti-Gray hair
factor, stimulates the growth of
the bacteria which synthesize
inositol, another part of the b
complex, but if panthothenic
acid is absent fy9n the diet these
micro organisms '{lN not grow,
and thus the necessary Synthe-
.. sis does not occur"
GETS CLUE
The New York scientist got
his clue to promoting the growth
of good" bacteria in the intes-
tines by studying the digestion of
the cow. He found that COWS syn
thesize almost every one Of the
B complex factors in one stOm-
ach and it is possible to cStab-
lish the necessary bacterial flora
in the intestines Of man which
would enable him to Synthcsize
his own b VitaminS' and live
on grass and tree bark or even
MUNICH on stump, DR.. Martin
declared
He added that this, Of course,
would make it doubly necessary
for the American equivalent of
the British Conn landos to have
teeth In excellent condition.
1T has been reported that the
Germans have used a somewhat
similar procedure TO establish
the correct bacterial flora in the
intestines Of the soldier, so that
these bacteria will render Cellu-
lose digestible and thus make it
possible for the soldier TO eat
leaves, wood and grass and sur

No Need for
HeavyBuying
0f5ugarNow

There is no need for a rush Of
sugar purchases in Juneau in an
ticipation of a shortage of the
sweet goods, E. L. Bartlett, Secre-
tary of Alaska, declared here to-
day. A run on present sugar sup
plies might cause a serious tenn
porary shortage, he warned, where
by ordinary purchases of sugar as
needed will assure permanent
supply, he pointed out
Following is statement by Bart
lett:
Il understand there has been
heavy buying of sugar in Junea
today in anticipation of ration
ing system. Buying has been on
such scale as to threaten to de-
plete existing local stocks. This is
entirely unnecessary. In view OF
limited transportation facilities nov
available its effect may be to de-
prive some families of sugar al
together.
There should be no panic buy
ing. If everyone will buy accord
ing to his needs, and according to
his needs only, there will be plenty
TO go around. When and if sugar
rationing is instituted quotas will
be sufficiently large SO no one will
be short at any time. 1t is alto
gether probable that under such q
quota each householder will have
to declare existing stocks on hand
so reckless buying now will not
mean anyone can keep unneedcd
reserves.
1T is hoped and expected that
this heavy buying will be discon-
tinued voluntarily. If not, measures
will have to be taken to prevent
exhaustion of the supply of this
food essential. I know Juneau resi-
dents will cooperate in a patriotic
spirit"
