CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

You might as we'll get reconciled
Nto the idea that from here on in
every day is going TO be Lent as
far as your giving up something Is
concerned. The list of things you
are already asked to give up con-
tains about fifty main classified
tions of handy things to have
around. but that covers some
thousand separate items and the
list is going to get longer before
it starts getting shorter.
For handy reference. therefore,
here is a list of some of the things
you have thus far been asked to
cut down on. and why. It's the why
that is important, so to make this
| list different, the why is put first
and the effect on you follows.
To give night fighters better vi
sion they must be fed 5000 units
of vitamin A per day. and to keep
the half-Starved people of Britain
in fighting shape we must send
! them all the yitamin concentrates
we can ship. so you are asked to
go easy on the vitamin concen-
trateS and take your yitamin A in
carrots and the yellow vegetables
To provide the smokeless powder
! for AZ more rifle cartridges to shoot
at JapS. you are asked to do with
out a pound of sugar, the sugar
making the alcohol to make the
Smokeless gunpowder for the cart
ridges.
because a fully loaded flying
fortress uses as much gasoline in
an hour as the family auto does
in six months, and because the
Army needs all the tankers it can
get to carry gasoline to the over
seas forces, motorists in some areas
have been asked to cut down on
! gas consumption.
Because there's enough steel used
/ in the making of one new automo-
bile to make 26 heavy machine
guns, you will have to get along
with whatever auto lou have or
can buy second handed, and there
will be no more cars for the dura-
ton.
Because one bomber tire has as
much rubber in it as seven auto
tires, you must ride on whatever
| you now have.
Because more metal, more labor
and more machine hours go into
the making of one typewriter than
go into the making of one Garand
automatic rifle. you must pound
! the keys of whatever typewriter you
now have
Because the cuffs on 81 pairs of
pants have enough wool in them
to make one Army uniform, men
must go through the war cuffless.

New Threat Grows
Chinese Stall
laps From Burma

CHUNGKING, May 20 (UP) -
Chinese demolition squads and
guerillas have stalled Japan's in
vasion machine along the Burma
road, but a serious new threat de-
veloped today in eastern China as
plane-supported and reinforced
enemy columns drove toward Allied
aerial and supply bases.

SOFT PEDAL
ON BICYCLES

To let war plant workers pedal to
work when they'll be needing to
pedal to work, you must give up
buying a bicycle now.
Because it takes the silk of 100
pair of silk stockings to make one
sheathed in unglamorized cotton or
parachute for a paratrooper, your
sheathed in unglamorizee cotton or
rayon.
Because the solder and alloys in
a medium tank requires as much
tin as it takes to pack 10000 cans
of food, the less important kinds
of canned goods will have to be
put in bottles.
Because the rubber in a raincoat
equals the rubber in a gas mask,
you'll have to do without that new
raincoat.
Because there's enough zinc in a
81 pound toy locomotive to make
the carburetor on jeep, your chill
dren will have TO play with SpoolS
instead of new metal toys.
Because there is as much plastic
in the coWling of a pursuit ship as
there is in 40 average monographs.
you are asked to keep happy with
the old music box.

CHINESE RESIST

The japanese were baSing their
southwark drives from Chukihsien,
evacuated by the Chinese Sunday
night after severe street fighting,
and Fengchiao, reported taken by
Japanese spearheads Tuesday The
drive also was aimed apparently
at Kinhua, a distribution center
for goods filtered through the Jap
anese blockade.
North of Kinhua, the Chinese
said their forces were making
determined stand. A fleet of bomb
ers, the communique said, was sup
porting the enemy attack.
Enemy forces officially were re-
ported storming the town of Tun-
glu along the Chientang river, 80
miles south of Anking and to the
west of the heavier assault.
THE reinforced japanese are adj
vancing despite stubborn Chinese
resistance and the enemy is SUI
fcring heavy losses the commune

that photograph, there's enough

That gives you an idea, though
it's just a beginning. It skips over

TO find in the stores. There's

enough steel in washing machine
to make six machine guns, and so
on.
You can get along without them
all right, if you just stop TO think

 NOT AFFECTED
To Draw From Selective Service Pool; Man.POwer
 Plans Ready Soon

Washington, Dec, S-tuPl-Sec- retary of the Navy Frank Knox said today the new manpower or der will not affect the size of the Navy or its operations,
 The Navy will draw men from the Sclective Service pool under monthly requirement quotas in ac- cordance with President RooSevelts executive order of Saturday, Knox told a press conference.
 He repeated an earlier announce mens by War Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt that selectosS will have an opportunity to express then choice of service among the Army Navy. Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
 Knox explained that the physical requirements of the Navy are high CT than those for the Army and that probably men who cannot at tain the physical standards for the Navy might be acceptable for Army service.
 McNutt planned to confer with the joint chiefs of staff today to determine their basic manpower needs before beginning work on the overall manpowcT problem.
 Once Army and Navy needs are determined, the availability ot workers for war industries will be definitely known and the work oi placing n,.n and women where they can serve most effectively will be- gin.
 McNutt promised at a press con- ference yesterday that action would be swift and said that from now on the total population was being considered a national poor from which the needs of the armed forces. industry, agriculture and es- sential civilian activities will be supplied.
 Enlistments in the armed forces of men between IS and 38 have been halted. Both Army and Navy

 An United States military mission was leaving for Dakar at once to work out these plans.
 Boisson's readiness to collaborate with the United Nations, which he proclaimed early in the North Af- rican campaign, was sealed formally by Eisenhower in a special an- nouncement.
 The American commander said French West Africa would permit the United Nations to use its air. fields for the transit of Allied planes from the United States and its port facilities.
 He said Allied shipping informed in Africa would be released immedi- ately under the agreement and that any United Nations internees would be freed

 Board Today

Hartford, Conn. Dec. 3. CUP)- Richard Julius Herman Krebs, who wrote the best seller Out of the Night under the pen name of Jan Valtin, was presented before secret session of the Alien Enemy Control Board today as result Of his arrest last month on a federal WE rant or dering his deportation to Germany.
 Krebs, taken into custody at his home at Bethel, Nov. 23, was charged with violation of the immi- grafton Acts, and his deportation was ordered by the Immigration Board of Appeals recently.
 The control board met to pass final Judgment on the author before carrying out the order of the ap- peals board.

GRAND ASSAULT
 ON AXIS COMING
British Eighth Army Pre- pairing to Open Attack
 on Rommel Again
By EDWARD W. BEATTIE United Press Staff Correspondent

London, Dec. 8.-(UP)-A grand allied assault from the east on the Axis position in Africa, it appeared today, may hit the Germans and Italians while the Tunisia fighting still is in the hard skirmishing stage.
 The British Eighth Army in the opinion of London observers prob ably has completed preparations for the break through attack at Fl Ag- heila which is expected to throw Marshal Erwin Rommel into new retreat for Tripoli
 As the Eighth Army attack de- velops, it was said, the British First Army with its American and French elements under Lieut.. Gen. K. A. N Anderson can be expected to move forward to pinch the Axis from the west.
 For the moment, reports from Africa made plain, the Allies in Tunisia were on the defensive as they worked to bring up sufficient air strength to break the Luftwaffe' dominance of the forward fighting zone.
 However, it was doubted that the Germans with the limited land forces at their disposal will attempt to press forward any great distance despite their success in the opening rounds of the Tebourba- -Dfhedeida- Mateur battle.
 Allied bombing of Axis airoromes at Bizerte and Tunis was believed to be hampering the Nazis in employ ing these fields and cutting their air attackes on American and British troops to a considerable extent.
 German radio reports from Tan- gier said that Andersons headquar- ters indicated the Allies would be forced to wage a defensive battle IT Tunis'a for some time.
 Radio Vichy claimed that a new and violent tank battle was being fought west of Tebourba and the DNB Nazi News Agency said Ger man dive bombers and fighters had destroyed many Allied tanks.
 The battle centered about Te- bourba, 20 miles west of Thlnis and 30 south of Bizerte, from which AL lied troops retreated last week to q height behind the city. German efforts to dislodge them proved

 ship Sought

Boston. Dec. 8.-UP)-The Suf- folk County grand jury that will in- vestigate the Cocoanut Grove holo- caust may be asked to indict 27 persons, including at least two Bos- ton city officials, it was believed to- day.
 Four lawyers from the office of Atty. -Gen. Robert T. Bushnell were assigned to determine the exact violations of law involved in the dis aster that took at least 495 lives.
 It was expected the grand jury would be asked to separate the in- dictments into these three groups:
 l. Persons in any way respon- sibIe for the safety of those in the night club.
 2. Persons who. though not directly responsible, might have ignored the situations that existed.
 3. Persons who might have ad- vised or supplied the club with materials used in its decoration.
 Tn an effort to determine those subject to indictment. the various  Investigating committees continued to focus their attention on the ac- tual ownership of the cocoanui Grove.
 Mrs. Rose Ponzi Gnecco, divorced wife of Charles (Get- t-Rich-Qulck Ponzi. deported financial wizard, told Fire Commissioner William A. Reil- ly yesterday that the clubs funds were banked in her name.

 "Our ulhesitating advice to al prospective students Is to secure aS much of a College education at Yale as possible. We believe that II will be the best possible preparation Tor services in war and in peace"
 The Army and Navy, he saad, would be provided with certain Dormitory, classroom and uining facilities, and the university would reserve for is own use "au the neces' sary housing and teaching facihnes which 1t may need"
 The university intended, he Saio' to provide college training to Stu- dents who now are members oi the reserves, and to students sent oy the Army and Navy for basic train- ing and instruction in highly teeh- nicaf ard specialized subjects.
