MUSSOEINI:
Whistles in Dark

With powerful American and Brit
tsh armies only few hundred miles
across the Mediterranean from Italy,
with northern industrial cities rocked
by RAF bombing attacks, and with
Prime Minister ChurchilPs grim
warning Of future disaster still ring
ing in his ears, Benito Mussolini de-
livered an 81-ninute hsrangue TO the
Fascist parliament.
In essence, the duce's speech was
a "whistling in the dark" perform
ance designed 10 whip up the Italian
peoples tagging war spirit. His pre-
scription for national morale:
Learn to hate and to cease spread
ing silly stories and gossip

placed under prolonged, scientific
and shattering air attacks" Musso-
hni said the English leader hoped
to undermine the Italian peoples re-
Sistance. He promised that Germany
would reinforce Italy with powerful
contributions" and said "the joint
Italian-German defenses will give
the raiders hot reception"
II Duce revealed that Italy had
lost 1852 warships and more than
400, 900 soldiers, sailors and airmen in
the 80 months Of war.

RUSSIA:
Headaches for Hitler

Russian strategists concentrated
doggedly on the task of rolling out
the twin bulges at Rzhev and VyaZ-
ma on the far-fung line from Lenin-
grad to Stalingrad as the Reds spec
tacular offensive continued to push
the Nazis back and threaten the en-
tire structure Of their winter lines.
Hitler well knew the danger poised
by the Russian thrusts at Rzhev. If
this key point were taken, his troops
in the Leningrad sector to the north
would be in peril. And should these
forces be trapped or forced to retire
to avoid entrapment, then Finland
would be left high and dry to make
such terms as she could with the
victorious Russ.
But Hitler's headaches were not
confined to the Rzhev areas. At
Stalingrad the Reds captured stra-
tegic hilltop southwest of the city
that had dominated the approaches
from this direction and had been
used for weeks by the Germans for
artillery and observation posts.
Southwark in the Caucasus, the
Nazis faced the threat of disaster,
for the steadily mounting strength
Of the Russ placed his control Of oil,
wheat and coal lands in jeopardy.

FARM PRICES:
Parity Rate BOOSt2

Farm parity prices would have to
be revised upward 1914 per cent If
a bill passed by the house of repre-
sentatives is eventually enacted into
law.
The measure passed by unanimous
vote would require the department
Of agriculture to raise parity prices
for all agricultural commodities, to
include all costs of labor, including
hired hands and farmers them
selves.
That such action would be strongly
opposed by President Roosevelt in
his anti-inf1ation efforts was indicat-
ed by the fact that a similar pro-
vision included in the price act
amendment last fall was bitterly
fought by the administration and
finally compromised.
Explaining the provisions of their
measure, house agricultural COM
mittee members explained that un-
der the existing setup no allowance
is now given farmers for their labor
costs in fixing price ceilings, in spite
of the fact that farm wage rates
were going up daily" The farmers
ask no more than equality treat
ment," the committee declared.
''They know that every manufac-
turer is permitted to include his la
Dor cost in figuring his costs of pro-
duction."

STOCK SHOW:
Sub for International

The war had long before inter-
vened to cancel the International
Livestock Exposition, but in outdoor
pens in Chicago's stockyards, 6,349
farm animals from 19 states and
two Canadian provinces competed
for prizes in the Chicago Market Fat
Stock show-an exhibition organized
to bridge over the period until the
international could be held again.
1t was one-way ride for the
barnyard champions, for wartime
transportation regulations decreed
that the steers, hogs and sheep must
be moved to the slaughter-house aft
er the show. Gone for the duration
was the traditional pageantry at
tending the exposition since the In
ternational amphitheater was taken
over by the army last June.
No admission fee was required for
the substitute show.

LABOR PEACE:
Decreed by CIO-AFL

For the first time since the CIO
split from the American Federation
of Labor in 1885, the two organiza-
tions entered into an agreement that
opened the way for permanent
peace and possible full reunion of
the two organizations.
Meeting in Washington special
committees of the two labor unions
agreed to establish a joint commits
sion to resolve all differences be.
tween them. To this agreement, they
added proviso that all unsettled
issues should be referred to arbitra-
tion.
President Roosevelt had long
urged the two groups to submerge
their differences for the national well
fare. Presidents William Green of
the AFL and Phillip Murray of the
CIo had publicly stated their desire
for peace.

New Home Building

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 10
With new construction curtailed
sharply under the war housing pro-
gram, added emphasis is placed on
the need for maintaing the nations
supply of existing home properties
in sound habitable condition, Fed
eral Housing Commissioner Abner
H. Ferguson declared today.
Because of the urgent need for
conserving critical materials for
direct war production purposes,
new home building has ben restrict

only in such numbers as is abso-
lutely necessary to meet the hous-
ing needs of essential workers, Mr.

INVESTMENT INCOME /:
$4,000 Ceiling?

Even as salary freezing regula-
tons were made public through
out the nation, congress was invited
by President Roosevelt to put $25,-
600 ceiling on net investment income
to match the $25, 900 ceiling imposed
on net salaries by James F. Byrnes,
director of economic stabilization.
Under the existing system, indi-
viduals are restricted to gross in
come from salaries of $67, 200 a year,
or net income after federal income
taxes of $4,000. Income from other
sources is not now restricted. Point
ing out that there has been wide
spread criticism against inequali-
ties in the present sytem, Mr.. Roose-
welt proposed that identical limita-
tons be put on income from invest
ments.
Such procedure would mean that
an individuals total income from
salary, from investments or from
both could not exceed SOS, 900 net or
$67, 200 gross in any one year.

TUNISIA:
NdUaL Phases Disclosed

Naval guns of the British fleet
added their power to the arms OF
the Allied forces pressing hard on
the Axis defenders of Tunisia, by
sinking four supply transport ships
and two destroyers in a convoy
carrying supplies and reinforcements
to North Africa.
Announcement of the victory
came soon after the admiralty and
u. S. navy department disclosed
that the Allies had lost 16 vessels
during the original A.E.F. landings
in North Africa. The toll was de-
scribed as considerably smaller than
originally expected.
Included in the United Nations
losses were the British small air
craft carrier Avenger, three destroy
ers and five lighter vessels as well
as five u. S. naval transports.
AS the stage was set for the final
showdown for control of Tunisia, the
German-controlled Paris radio ad-
mltted that BrluSn-Amer1can COL
unn had penetrated to the east
coast of Tunis and had advanced be-
tween Sfax and Gabes.
With opposing forces concentrat.
ing in narrow coastal area between
the cities of Tunis and Bizerte Allied
advances had slowed down in the
face of strengthening German re-
sistance.
Despite continuing vigilance of AL
lied sea and air patrols, the Axis had
admittedly gained reinforcements.
In certain areas they achieved local
air superiority. Moreover the fierce
ness of their attempted counterat-
tacks and the presence Of consider
able Axis mechanized equipment in

ed the enemy's unexpected strength.

PACIFIC:
U. S. Strength GrOtus

Offensive actions undertaken by
Allied forces in the Pacific war the
ater had continued to gain momen-
tum.
U. S. naval forces decisively beat
off another Jap attempt to regain
control Of the southern Solomons by
sinking nine more enemy ships, in
cluding six warships in an engage
ment north of Guadalcanal. Jap
losses included two large destroyers
or cruisers, four destroyers, two
transports and one cargo ship. The
Americans lost cruiser and report
ed other ships damaged. Meanwhile
American land forces continued
their mopping up operations around
Henderson airfield.
Indicative of the growing strength
OF the Allies was the report from
Auckland, New Zealand, of the safe
arrival of an American expedition
airy force so large that it took hours
for the dee-laden transports to dis
gorge their cargoes of men and sup
plies. Lean gray warships of the
U. S. navy had safely conveyed the
transports through Jap-threatened
waters.
In New Guinea the tempo of the
allied offense against the narrow
Jap-held beach-heads bordering
Buna was stepped up. Allied airmen
beat off Jap naval force attempt
ing to land reinforcements and sup

and shot down % Jap planes. Amer
