NAZIS FEAR REVOLT
OF DUTCH WORKERS

New York. That the Nazis are
taking no chances in preparing for an
Allied invasion of Europe's west coast
is proved by their sudden suspension
Of all leaves of Dutch workers within
the Reich. This new decree indicates
that Germany intends to hold the
largest possible number of workers
as hostages in view of present threat
ening conditions, according to the
Netherlands Information Bureau.
Most of the 100000 Hollanders de-
ported to the Reich are ex-service
men, students, and workers in their
early manhood who, at the first sig
nal from their government in London,
would eagerly take up arms against
their oppressors and drive them from
Dutch soil. Apparently, the Nazi con-
slider it safer to keep them inside the
Reich, under the watchful eyes of
their own gestapo.

DRAFT DODGER" CHARGES
REFUTED

President Roosevelt has cited facts
and figures to show convincingly that
Government departments and agen-
cies are not havens for draft dodg-
ers." In a letter to the House and
Senate, he commended federal work
ers for their part in the war and
pointed out that the Governments
record on deferments is better than
industry's.
The Presidents findings should go
far toward ending the press, radio
and congressional clamor over alleged
harboring of draft dodgers in Gov
ernment service.
As this paper has emphasized be-
fore, the uproar has been shot through
and through with the worst kind of
demagoguery. 1t has been conjuring
up of an issue which is no issue at
all, as no proof has ever been pro-
duced that Government service, on the
whole has been a refuge for men seek
ing to avoid military service.

News Commentator Gabriel Heater
voiced an objection in recent broad
cast, to the tendency on the part of
some Army and Navy brass hats to
warn the people of the United States
that their war casualties will be-
come Increasingly heavy.
This may be true, but what point is
there, as Mr.. Heater said, in repeated
ly calling the attention of the parents
of the nation to that fact? Those of
us who have loved ones in the service
and make up the bulk of the popula-
ton, are well aware of the risks of
war, we know our boys are facing or
will face the possibility of death on
the battlefield, but we have the faith
that they will give good account of
themselves whatever the circum-
stances, and we'll keep our faith and
hope that they will return to us when
the ware are ended.

TOO MANY LoGGERs TAKEN

Limitation of the size of the armed
forces is again in the news, with a
serious shortage of newsprint and a
proposal by Senator Albert B. Chand-
Ter of Kentucky that skilled loggers
be released from the Army to fore
stall a further shortage His proposal
seems sound and the only action to
take in the circumstances.
Senator Chandler said two things
have contributed to the newsprint
scarcity:
First, an apparent lack of a def
mite policy in the distribution of the
available supply and second, the fact
that many loggers producing the
necessary material in the forest from
which wood pulp is made were either
drafted or allowed to go into higher
paid jobs. !. without due regard to
their value in their own work"
The newsprint situation is addi-
tional evidence that American heavy
industry can't be run effectively by
women, old men and children, Logging
is tough, hard work, requiring skill
gained by long experience. Expert
male workers-plenty of them-are
necessary in logging as in other basic
industries All nations have found

Safety Council Predicts
Huge '43 Accident Toll

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Acci-
dents will kill $4,000 persons, injure
9,250,000 and cause an economic loss
of five billion dollars in 1943 if cur
rent trends continue, the National
Safety Council said in a report sub
mitted to President Roosevelt.
The heaviest casualty lists will be
in the homes, where mishaps will re-
suit fatally in 31,50O cases, the report
shows.
Comparing the first six months of
this year with the same period in
1941, the results are as follows:
The all-accident death total is down
percent; traffic deaths are down Al
percent and 'the rising tide of deaths
to workers through accidents on the
job has been completely halted, de-
spite a II percent increase in man
hours worked"
Home deaths have increased a per-
cent, however, the report showed.

this out. Britain has been compelled
to release coal miners and other
skilled workers from the Army to
keep up production. The United
States has had to do the same thing
with metal miners and farmers.
Now comes Australia, which has
found that drawing too many men
from cattle ranches and farms makes
it impossible to maintain sufficient
production of meat and other foods.
Australians are alarmed and there is
considerable agitation for releasing
some men in the armed service for
farm work.

Slaughter and Meat
RatiOning Simplified

Under the Office of Price Admins
tration revision of rules for slaughter
and rationing of meats procedure is
simplified. The War Food Administra-
tion has announced that an individual
may slaughter livestock for home
consumption without benefit of IL
cense or permit if he is entitled to
consume the meat point-free.
OPA says a person may consume
meat without giving up ration points
only if (D the meat was produced
from livestock raised from birth on
the farm or premises he operates, (2)
the livestock was raised for at least
60 days Immediately prec d n G
slaughter on premises that he oper-
ates, or (3) the livestock was raised
for period during which it's weight
was increased by at least 35 percent
on premises which he operates.
To be eligible to slaughter and con-
sumo meat point-free (D a person
must have resided more than six
months of each year on the farm he
operates, or (2) he must have visited
the farm to give personal attention
and supervision to raising of the live
stock for at least a third of the time
during the period in which he bases
his claim to the right to consume
meat point-free. If the livestock was
custom slaughtered the same condi-
tions apply and the certificate re-
quired by the slaughterer must con-
tain facts showing he is eligible to
consume the meat point-free. A per-
son meeting these requirements may
also let employees on his farm con-
sumo meat point-free.
Prisons, asylums, restaurants and
other institutional users" are not
permitted to use the meat from live
stock they raise point-free.
Persons meeting conditions for
point-free consumption are permitted
by VIA to slaughter for home con-
sumption without license or permit.
Others who slaughter meat for home
consumption or for delivery to others
must have VIA permit or license.

Accidents Kill $4,000
Since Pearl HarbOr

New York City (ILNS) Accidents
have caused estimated losses since
Pearl Harbor aggregating $8,800,000,-
900 in the United States, or enough
to have financed the purchase of one
fifth of all war bonds sold since the
war, Bennett Moore, president of
the Liberty Mutual Insurance Co.,
said here.
"More serious" he declared, "is the
death Of 164,000 persons and injury
of 100000 others" from the same
causes. Although traffic and industrial
accidents receive major attention and
account for the heaviest economic and
property losses, he said, home mis-
haps represent one of the most serious
phases of the whole problem.
