FULL DINNER PAIL:
Definite Assurance

There was a coffee shortage loom
ing and plans were under way for
meat rationing but considered
statement" by Donald Nelson, chair
man of the War Production board,
carried definite assurance that
there will be enough food to eat"
for the duration.
This statement was made to the
house agriculture committee. The
committee has been studying the
farm labor shortage and has warned
that this situation might cause an
acute food shortage. While Mr.. Mel
son appeared to recognize the labor
problem as an important one, he
felt that 1--WE are going to be smart
enough to meet the problem. :"
Meanwhile vast loan program to
farmers was being considered to aid
them in producing full capacity
crops. This prospective step calls
for such loans to small-income farm
ers, with the funds to be used for
obtaining tools, machinery, livestock
and other items to aid increased
production despite less available
labor.

BOX SCORE:
OF u. S. War Planes

The ''box score" of American
fighter planes and bombers in COM
bat over world battlefronts proves
their superiority over Axis aircraft,
according to a special house sub
committee report.
The ratio of enemy planes de-
stroyed to U. S. losses in combat dur
ing the period from August IA through
September IA was rs to l. During
this period, P-39s destroyed 20 enc
my planes in combat with a loss of
five, and P-40s destroyed IA enemy
planes with loss of only one.
From February through Sep
TENDER 20, enemy planes destroyed
by army aircraft of all types on all
fronts totaled 279. United States
losses on all fronts totaled ia. For
the month Of August only, rs enc
my planes were destroyed as against
u. S. losses of is.
The report indicated that the jap
anese Zero has a faster climb, high
er ceiling and greater maneuvera-
bility, but that the American P-40
has number of better fighting
characteristics. Our pilots prefer
the P-4o to the Zero, the report
pointed out.

RUSSIA:
And Second Front

Even as Josef Stain reiterated
his demand for second front to
bring relief to sorely tried Russia,
an official communique acknowl-
edged relentless Nazi pressure ev-
erywhere on the Volga front. The
communique neither claimed Soviet
advances nor acknowledged with
drawals, but spoke of ''incessant at
tacks" by the enemy.
In one sector within Stalingrad
Soviet forces were reported to have
demolished several blockhouses held
by the Germans, killing about three
companies of Nazi infantry. In
special bulletin the Moscow radio
said that Soviet troops had driven
the Nazis from an important point
on the front west of Moscow, later
beating off five counterattacks. In
one of these attacks the Germans
were reported to have lost 700 men
killed.
Dispatches from the front said
that in northwest Stalingrad the Red
army attacked in force in an in
dustrial district, hammering through
several streets and improving the
Soviets' general position.
Despite local Russian successes,
Premier Stain pointed out the in
creased necessity for second front
and increased aid. He asked that
the Allies fulfill their obligations
fully and on time."
Breakfasts from Vichy, France,
and from Turkey said that Stain
had turned over to Marshal Sha-
poshnikev the post of defense COM
missar, which Stain himself had
held.

BUSH I! SOLDIERS {
In Surprise Advar,ce

Rugged Australian bush soldiers
turned the tables on the Japs in New
Guinea and, through infiltration
methods, recaptured Nauro in the
Owen Stanley mountain range, high
point Of the Japanese advance, and
then. continued their forward march
to the north.
Strong enemy opposition was ex-
pected, but failed to materialize.
The march took the Aussies to
Nauro, then to Menari, without es-
tablishing contact with the enemy"
Official communicates said nothing
about what had happened to Japa-
nese forces which at one time drove
to within 80 miles Of Port Moresby.
However, Allied air strafing and
bombing of pack trails is thought to
have accounted largely for the Jap
retreat.
Meanwhile. heavy bombers raid
ed Japanese shipping at Rabau1,
New Britain and BUN on Bougain-
vile, in the northern Solomons, set
ting FIRE to two enemy transports
and scoring possible hits on two
cruisers and an unidentified ship.
The marines continued to consoli-
date their positions in the Solomons
and to strengthen the defense of the
important Guadalcanal air base.

INITIATION CURB:
Roosevelt to Byrnes

Within is hours after he had been
granted broad powers to halt the
spiral of imitation, President Roose-
welt named Associate Justice James
F. Byrnes as the director of eco
nomic sterilization and moved to
stabilize wages, salaries, profits and
farm prices.
Byrnes resigned from the Su-
preme court shortly after he was
named head of the new Office OF
Economic Sterilization.
Under the new legislation farm
price ceilings cannot be set below
parity or below the highest market
level between January and Sep
TENDER IS, 1912, whichever is high
er. If such ceilings are too low to
reflect increases in farm labor and
other costs since January 1, 1941,
the President is directed to raise
them. The legislation calls for a
80 per cent parity floor" under cot
ton, corn, wheat, rice, tobacco and
peanuts, the floor to be established
by means of loans. The President
may hold the loans down to IS per
cent, however, on corn and wheat
used for feeding livestock and poul-
try.
Acting Immediately, Leon Hender-
son, head of the Office of Price Ad-
ministration, ordered that all rents
be frozen at the level of March l,
1912. Henderson issued his first sta
bilization order within "a hours aft
er the OES was created. He said
the OPA soon would establish ma
chinery to enforce national rent reg
ulation and urged that, in the mean
time, landlords who may have
raised rents since March l reduce
them to the previous level.
He asserted that evictions result
ing from sale of rental property
will be prevented.
In setting forth wage and sal
airy sterilization policy, President
Roosevelt provided that there be no
decreases for any particular work
below the highest wages paid be-
tween january and September Is
unless to correct inequalities.

YANK AIRMEN:
In Biggest Raid

In the biggest daylight operation
the u. S. army air forces have yet
undertaken from England, Amer
lean Flying Fortresses blasted a
Nazi aircraft factory at Meaulte and
an airfield at st. Omer in northern
France and shot down Is of Ger
many's crack fighter planes.
At the same time u. S. Boston
bombers attacked docks at LIE
Havre, and escorting American and
Allied fighters totalling 400 destroyed
another five Nazi Focke-WuH 100
planes.
Although officials did not reveal
the, number of Flying Fortresses
participating in the raid, all the
fortress planes returned safely. Six
Allied fighter planes were lost.
Even as the speedy fighters and
the mammoth fortresses and Amer
lean medium bombers were roaring
over France, engaging enemy fight
ers and bombing targets, Britain's
secret Mosquito planes, fresh from
their assault on Nazi-occupied Oslo,
were pounding detectives in Bel
gium.

BOARDING GASP:
It's Plenty Dangerous

Hoarding of gasoline to beat ra-
tioning plans is not only unpatriotic,
says the National Safety council, but
extremely dangerous.
''The motorist who tries to beat
rationing by laying in a supply of
gas literally is storing up danger
and trouble for himself" says this
safety bureau, and further warns
that
"No matter how careful the aver
age person may be in storing gaso-
line, there is definite danger that
vapor will escape. This vapor is
highly explosive, and a chance
spark or flame may set off an ex-
plosion that can wreck house and
cause death or injury"
Concludes this warning:
"You may get an extra ride
boarding gas, but the chances are it
will be to the hospital. There is
only one safe rule for boarding
gasoline-Don't do i'll"

YOUR USED TIRES:
Can't Be Sold

AS further rubber conservation
step, Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson acted to "freeze" all used
tires and tubes in the hands of pres
ent owners until normal rationing
program can be worked out.
The OPA order prohibited the
transfer of any used tires and tubes
by dealers and consumers. It did
not, however, prevent the sale
to a consumer of an automobile
equipped with used tires. Automo-
bile dealers also are allowed to shift
their used tires that are mounted on
cars in stock to other cars also in
stock.
The order permits car owners to
have their used castings and tubes
repaired and to have tires recapped
if they qualify for the latter service.

ment against trying to draw France
back into the war against "our" Al

resignation from the French Legion
of Honor because the award had
been given two Frenchmen fighting
for the Germans on the Russian
front. He has steadfastly refused to
have anything to do with the col

LAWS NECESSARY
TO CURB DRIVERS

1T WOULD COST at least several
thousand. dollars of the taxpayers
money to convene a special Session
of any state legislature. The Presi-
dent has asked that this be done in
order to enact state laws providing
a 35-mile speed limit. That expense
is needed because some people who
call themselves Americans will not
heed the request of the President
or the governor of their state to
reduce driving speed to not over IS
miles an hour as means of saving
their tires. It is to be hoped that
when such laws are enacted they
will have teeth sufficiently sharp to
bite real holes in the dumb skulls of
the willful drivers who make such
laws necessary. / would say loss
of their drivers license and con-
fiscation of their cars should be the
minimum.
