Axis Satellites
Get U.S.. Warninq

WASHINGTON. April 13 -
tUP)-Acting Secretary of State
Sumner Welles today in effect
warned Hungary, Rumania and
Bulgaria-which have declared
war on this cOuntry-that the
United States will declare war
on them if they aid the axis
campaign against Russia.
Welles explained to his press
conference that the Unit e d
States has not previously de-
clared war on these axis satel-
lites because it was recognized
here that their declarations
against the United States were
made under German pressure
and were contrary to the wishes
of the people in those countries.

money appropriated can be used
for actual improvements.
In recent months, Heinecke said,
the city has graveled rs blocks and
paved two blocks of streets, mostly
with money from state gasoline
taxes.
The park department budget. the
report said, is expected to be over
drawn about $1,000.
These overdrafts, Heinecke said,
will be more than balanced by sur
pluses in the sewer and water de-
partments. The former Is estimated
to end the year with balance Of
$4,000, while the latter will have
a surplus of $1l,320, the report said.

'Of COrreg1dor.
From Corregidor - bombed %
times in two days-the American big
guns still were breaking up enemy
attacks and the war department
said a number of small Japanese
boats had been sunk at the tip OF
Bataan peninsula.
While Corregidor and apparently
the greater part of Cebu island
still held out against enemy attacks,
United States flying fortresses
guarded by Australian fighter squad
rons damaged two large enemy ships
and knocked out Is enemy aircraft
over the weekend in attacks on bases
north of Australia.
In Burma and on the approaches
to India, the enemy continued to
mass strength, including fleet of
at least three battleships and five
aircraft carriers, supported by
cruisers and destroyers, in the Bay
of Bengal.
Prime Minister Winston Chur-
chill told the house of commons in
London that the Japanese opera
tions off the coast of India had
inflicted considerable damage. Ra-
dio Tokyo purported to show the
allies had lost SIS ships sunk and
seven damaged in addition to 100
airplanes destroyed or damaged.
The Japanese admitted loss of only
II Japanese planes in attacks on
Ceylon.
CRUISER DAMAGED
The Tokyo propaganda broadcast
said that a British cruiser of the
7,270-ton Leander type had been
damaged off the Indian coast.
Churchill declined to indicate the
naval forces which the allies had
mustered against the strong Japa-
nese fleet, but did say that Admiral
Sir James Somerville was in COM
mand, thus indicating that a size
able British force was in the In
dian area.

wildly excited and began taking pic

around madly. They used up their

While some hang back and do
nothing without pressure, others Of our
people carry patriotism to an extreme,
and do as much harm as good. We
shall have to sacrifice q lot to win this
war; Why, then, make ourselves UNI
necessarily miserable?
For example, we're limited to half
q pound Of sugar for each person each
week. Thot amount wos fixed by ex-
perts, who say that half pound is
needed, and no more. The man or
woman who uses more is q chiseIer
The person who uses less is dePriving
his body Of nourishment it needs por-
ticuIorly when, as now, nervous stress
is considerable.

This has to do with tanning
legs. Sure, l know anybody $
legs can be tanned by simple ex-

talking about wooden legs. Be

somehow provides a suggestion

You use tea. Unfortunately,
tea also is scarce and is likely To
be rationed. But silk is used
to make parachuteS and other
militarily essential items, so l
don't hesitate to nominate tea as
a substitute for silk stockings.

beverage purposes, tea shouldn't
be boiled; but for legs, it
should. Boiling extracts the

for even application is to boil
