The Macarthur communique said
more than zoo Jap barges have been

In Washington, an authoritative
digest OF reports to the United
States government during the last
few weeks described German NOR
ale as being nearer the cracking
point than at any time since 1917.
However, observers warned that
this does not necessarily mean that
the final craack-up will come in the
near future. Final collapse OF Ger
man morale, they said, will depend
on how soon Italy can be knocked
out Of the war and on extension OF
the aerial war on the Reich to cities
in eastern Germany.
Reports out Of the continent In
dicated that the situation in Italy
is somewhat quieter. although de-

Fine Points in BrIdqe
By SHEPARD BARCLAY

The heart a was taken and the
8 led to the 10, West then return
ing the heart 5. Hoping for three
tricks now with his own two
trumps and the X in dummy.
North ruffed with the club 6, and
East over-ruffed with the 9.
East's last trump then made
North use both his own Q and
dummys K on one trick. so that
he had to give up a heart on the
final trick, being down three for
the worst score in the duplicate
where this hand was dealt.
If North had noticed East's play
on the heart A and 9 he would
have taken one more trick. II was
the 6 on the first Of these, and the
3 on the next-a high-low. indicat-
ing that he had no more. North,
IL he noticed that, should have
ruffed the next trick, the heart 5,
with his club Q, to prevent East
from over-rufing. He then could
have led a diamond to be ruffed
by the club K. and 50 would have
taken two tricks instead Of one
with those honors, giving up the
final trick for down two instead Of
three.

Brown Tells Budget
0PA Will Not Seek
d Million Deficiency
Serves Notice to Stuff
1t Must Keep Within
$4,000 900 Provided

Price Administrator Brown in
formed the Budget Bureau today
that ne would not ask Congress for
a deficiency appropriation of s23,-
900 900 which the agency had been
authorized to spend last fall,
Mr.. Brown said that he expected
that the agency would be able to hive
within the original Sl20,000000 ap-
propriated by Congress for the cur
rent fiscal year To accomplish that
end, he instructed executives Of the
OPA to hold their employment level
at approximately the March l force
OPA Planned to Ask $4,000 900.
Congress had granted the OPA
S120, 100000 to finance its activities
after much heated debate This
represented considerably less than
the amount Leon Henderson. former
OPA chief, said was necessary. Last
fall, Congress authorized $4,000 900
more for OPA with the understand
ing that the agency would make
a request this spring for deficiency
appropriation to cover this amount.
Actually, it had been planned to
ask for deficiency appropriation of
S23 100000 But today, Mr. Brown
said he would not ask for any de-
flciency money.
4 believe" he said, that We can
live within our original congress
sional grant without any sacrifice
Of the effectiveness of the OPA
program.
Tighten Our Belts"
If we tighten our belts in every
way possible, we will get through the
fiscal year without any extra money.
If we can hold employment ex-
elusive of that in the ratiOning di-
vision at the March level, the Or
ganization will be able to complete
the fiscal year without spending
more than the original appropria-
ton granted us last June"
Mr.. Brown said the rationing di-
vision was assuming heavier bur-
dens because of the coming meat ra-
tlonlng program and would need
more clerical help. But chiefs of
other divisions were ordered to cease
hiring, except in unusual cases.
Nj. Brown said the OPA would
be able to provide more help for To-
cal ratiOnlng boards and promised
