Two rationing programs doomed

the East and meats generally
throughout the nation.

heating purposes appeared near as
industrial establishments and homes
using oil for heating were warned
they would have to get along on
less than normal supplies.

the not far distant future" This pre-
diction was made by a spokesman
for Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey's
national selective service board.
Speaking before the Sind annual
reunion of the Legion of Valor in
Boston, Ted Luther, Hershey's aide,
said 1.-The nations reservoir of la
men was practically exhausted and
that it would be necessary to OBJ
tain men from lib and 3-A classes.
THE selective service board is
most anxious to avoid breaking up
homes and families" he said, but
because of the few men in lib clas-
siication and the smaller number
that can be obtained from among
those reaching 20 years of age each
month, it will be necessary to take
those with dependents.

MIDDLE EAST:
Command Is Changed

AS Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck
had Joined a growing list of ousted
commanders Of the precarious Mid
die East front. the infusion of new
brains in the person of hard-hitting
Gen. Sir Harold R. L. G. Alexander,
focused attention on the importance
Of that sector. The visit Of Prime
Minister Churchill to Alexandria on
his way to Moscow, too. had shown
how vital the Egyptian sector
doomed in Allied strategy.
Observers pointed out that be-
cause Of its strategic possibilities,
North Africa might become the Unit
ed Nations second front.
Biggest task confronting the Unit
ed Nations before snow flies was
hating Hitler's gigantic pincer drive
against the Middle East by way of
the Russian Caucasus from the
north and via Marshal Rommel's
Egyptian Nazi armies from the
southwest.

SOLOMON ISLANDS,:
important Victory

At last it could be told, for the
news revealed in a laconic navy
communique was that the offensive
in the Solomon islands had been
completely successful. The enemy
held islands in the southeast Solo
mon chain were now firmly in the
hands of United States marines.
Only remnants of once strong Japa-
nese forces remained on the islands
and these were being mopped up.
The navy's communique announc-
ing the victory said also that an en-
envy cruiser or destroyer was
bombed and set afire by American
planes in the area.
Omitted States marines are en-
gagged in hopping up remnants Of
the Japanese forces on the islands
which were recently captured in the
Solomon archipelago" the commune
que said.
Casual bombardments of our
shore positions by enemy aircraft,
~destroyers and submarines have in
f1icted only minor damage. An en-
envy destroyer or cruiser was
bombed and set afre by Jul air
craft"
The main offensive had been
launched on the strategically impor-
tant Tulagi harbor area on Florida
island, $50 miles from Australia.
The enveloping attack included land
ings on smaller islands nearby.
Viewed in its strategic perspec-
tive, the Solomons offensive meant
that Japan's thrusts toward New
Caledonia would be forestalled, and
that the pressure on southern New
Guinea and Australia would be
lifted.

LABOR PEACE:
Green Urges Unity

Another olive branch was waved
in the cause of labor peace when
William Green. president of the
American Federation of Labor,
called for an end to 1.-The economic
tug-of-war whereby each group
seeks to get the best bargain it can
from the other"
The economic fight must be
abandoned for the Duration" he told
the 50th annual convention of the
Wisconsin State Federation of La
Dor.
Green termed the CIO-AFL split a
dangerous and wasteful civil war;"
Earlier he had disclosed that repre-.
sentatives of the two organizations
would confer late in September on
the proposed reunion of labor.
Il trust those participating in
these conferences" he said, ARE
Conscious Of the fact that private
interests r secondary to the ma
tional necessity"

RUSSIA:
Gloom Persists

Only in the northernmost area of
the Russian fighting frontal Voro-
nezh and Bryansk-were the Soviet
forces able to report any success.
At these points several towns had
been taken and thousands of Ger
mans had been killed.
But elsewhere the picture re-
manned gloomy. Stalingrad, key in
dustrial city on the Volga, was e
aced by a Nazi pincer. Further to
the south, Maikop, fertile center of
the Kuban valley wheatfelds and
source of some of Russia's oil, had
been taken and Russian communi-
ques admitted the Germans were
moving trainloads of foodstuffs out
of this area.
The loss of Maikop opened the way
for the c%apitulation of the strategic
city of Krasnador, a railroad and
river in the northwest Caucasus.
and gateway to the Reds naval base
of Novorossick, less than 60 miles
distant.
Although Prime Minister Church
ills visit to Moscow had reused
hopes that strategic moves from
western Europe or from the Middle
East by the Allies might take some
of the mortal pressure off Russia.
the situation remained critical. The
successful Commando raid on the
French coast was at least a token
in that direction.

BRAZIL:
Irked at Axis

Submarines which for weeks had
persistently attacked Brazil's coast
wise shipping reused that nation to
fighting pitch when they sank five
merchantmen within a few days
span, with a loss Of more than 600.
Thus a tacit state of war existed
between Brazil and the Axis, with
out benefit of a formal declaration.
"Brazilians know how to fight
decisively and with or without arms
will know how to die for Brazil" Air
Minister Joaquin Salgado declared,
as the nations warships and planes
combed the sea for submarines and

COMMANDOS:
In Dress Rehearsal

Adolf Hitler learned that no mat
ter how deep into Russia his eastern
armies might penetrate. his western
flank was open to attack that might
be costly.
That was evident when British and
Canadian Commands supported by
American Rangers swept GRO the
English channel and back again in
a nine-hour daylight raid that was
a dress rehearsal for the forthcom-
ing Allied invasion of Europe.
The Nazi-fortified coastal defenses
at Dieppe, midway between Ca
lais and LIE Havre were the target.
Although German sources estimated
the force at 5000 men, its number
remained an official Allied secret.
The raiders carried tanks and ar
tillery with them.
While losses on both sides were
considerable, the raiders we're re-
ported to have destroyed a six-gun
shore artillery battery, an ammu-
milton dump, a vast anti-aircraft bat
terry and a radio location station.
Moreover, it was reported that the
city of Dieppe had been left in
flames.
A strategic feature Of the assault
was the vast aerial umbrella in the
form Of 1000 Allied fighter planes
shielding the raiders. This was re-
ported as the greatest aircraft can
opy yet sent aloft. While it pro-
tected the operations Of Commands
below, it succeeded in downing or
damaging 273 enemy planes.
The attack demonstrated that
landings in force could be success
fully made against the strongest
Nazi-fortifed points on the French
coast. And as a reminder Of the
growing air strength of the Allies,
American and British planes swept
over France the day after the raid,
striking out in the greatest force
ever seen over western Europe. The
air raiders, 500 strong, included
fghter-escorted American Flying
Fortresses and other bombers.

His father called to him as he scuffed into

pulled log from the woodbox and threw it
