QEING an American means many
~ things to many people. But to
every citizen it represents a distinc-

before in history. On May is, when

In past generations eminent Amer

MISCELLANY:

RECORD: American shipbuilders
in 1912 turned out record number
of $50 merchant vessels, totaling
5 million tons, according to the Ma
tional Council of Shipbuilders.
STRIKES: Man-days lost from
war production as result of strikes
dropped to 81 1925 in November-the
lowest since Pearl Harbor.
SALVAGE: A Jap radio broadcast
reported that engineers had refloat-
ed and repaired an 11,000-ton U. S.
floating dry dock which it said
American forces scuttled last April
at Port Marivales, Bataan.
IMPROBABLE: According to
French radio reports, Adolf Hitler
has nearly finished construction OF
a ''new, impregnable Siegfried line"
along the Atlantic seaboard OF
France.
ORDER: The Finnish Information
Center in New York has been or
dered by the state department to
cease issuing news releases and
pamphlets, and the American lega-
ton in Helsingfors has stopped send
ing out bulletins. This development
followed reports that Finnish Off
Gals joined in toast to the Japa-
nese Pearl Harbor success.

DRINKING:
And the Army

Drinking conditions in and around
army camps do not constitute Sc
rious problem for officials, accord
ing to report made by the Office
of War Information after an ex-
tensive coast-to-coast investigation.
This survey was undertaken to de-
termine what truth if any there ex-
listed for some of the rumors among
U. S. citizens about excessive drink
ing among the nations armed
forces.
In all U. S. history, the owl says,
no army has been SO orderly.
The sale of 80 beer in army
camps is described as healthy
and sensible" arrangement. This
is listed as the main reason for the
vastly less amount Of drinking by
soldiers in this war as compared
to World War I.

CHINESE MISSION:
Ordered Home

Gen. Hsiung Shih-fei, head Of a
Chinese military mission to this
country, and a majority Of his staff
have been ordered home by Cen
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek, it was
announced in Washington.
The mission was sent here 10
months ago to contact the joint
Anglo-American military staff and
to- confer with U. S. military Off
Gals. ~
Chinese sources said the return
was prompted by the apparent de-
cision of the joint staff to concen-
trate the efforts of the United Ma
tons on sectors other than the China
front. Dissatisfaction in Chungking
was reported over what it consid-
ers the minor role assigned to China
in Allied strategy. 1t was said that
Hsiung and his colleagues have de-
cided there is no likelihood of
large scale offensive against Japan
in the near future. The closing of
the Burma road was an important
factor in the Allied China plan Of
strategy.

TAXES:
Record Year

Early on the agenda Of the new
congress was consideration of some
form of pay-as-you-go tax payment
plan. There were increasing indi-
cations that one of the many pro-
posed methods for meeting this
years income tax out Of this years
income would be adopted.
Most widely discussed was the pro-
gram advanced by Beardsley Ruml,
New York Federal Reserve bank Of
fetal. Under this setup one years
taxes would 60 by default, and tax
payers would meet 1913 taxes out of
1943 income rather than pay 1912
taxes this year.
Well might congress study tax
plans because this year brings in
creased income tax rates, the per
cent Victory Tax and larger levies
on many everyday living items. And
the treasury department indicated
that to meet the rising cost Of war
even greater sacrifices may become
necessary. But U. S. citizens were
taking the new situation in stride.
Most people realized that it takes a
great deal of money to win mod
ern war.

Sightless Workers

Lockheed officials report that 10
blind workers who are helping build
fighting and bombing planes in the
California plant are in some re-
spects better than average and turn
out more work than their fellows
because of higher concentration. In
Guiding two women, these sightless
workers passed a months placement
test in the Lockheed factory and
are now working as tubing assem-
blers, burring-roll operators and as
semblers of switch boxes. One is
parts handler on a conveyor in the
paint shop.
Guide dogs bring the blind en-
ployees to the plant each morning
and doze all day beneath their mas
ters' benches. Miss Hazel Hurst,
sightless president of foundation
for training blind persons, worked
at every job before selecting the
blind worker to be placed in it.
However, the number of jobs they
can perform with safety will always
be limited, she said. Lockheed hopes
to find jobs for more sightless work

ANOTHER LESSON:
For Adolf

Last winter Adolf Hitler learned
his first lesson about Russian win
tiers: That they are plenty cold and
plenty inhospitable. This year he is
learning another lesson: Russian
soldiers fight equally well (and in
some cases better) in winter as in
summer.
Russia's drive on the southern
flank of the vast eastern front has
now reached proportions of major
campaign. AS the Nazi forces fell
back before Rostov, Soviet troops
had succeeded in capturing Kotel-
nikovski-a vital link in German po-
sitions and a point which Hitler had
commanded be held at all costs.
Ninety miles below Stalingrad, loss
of this point meant the extermina-
ton of Gen. Hermann Won Hoth's
sixth army-or what remained of its
% divisions surrounded near Stain
grad.
What was even more important,
however, was that the net was clos
ing more surely on the million Nazis
in the Caucasus. With Rostov's cap
ture Adolf would have sad looking
report card and his next lesson in
Russian would begin.

relatives; would provide a working
woman with bonus when she mar
ried so she wouldn't be penalized
for enjoying connubial bliss. ALI
this would be done on the principle
of ordinary commercial insurance
except that the government would
run the machinery, both labor and
capital would contribute as such and
the people as a whole, in accordance
with their income, would pay share
through taxes.
The plan is not new. But it is
considerable extension of the present
security laws such as Britain has
had for a long time and such as the
New Deal brought to America.
No sane American politician, no
matter how far he leaned to the
conservative side, would suggest re-
pealing Americas social security
laws. It couldn't be done. But the
controversy will arise in congress
when attempts are made, as they
will be, to extend the benefits, both
as to amounts paid and to new
categories Of workers. Such extern
sions are contemplated in the plan
now cooking in Washington.
Labor Regulation
That is one trend we can look for.
Running counter to it on the surface,
but really also shooting at the
greatest good for the greatest num-
Der" is the trend toward regulation
Of organized labor. Probably dozen
bills have been drawn up, all Of
which tend to put the screws on labor
unions. Many liberals feel that the
unions have it coming. The growing
number of strikes in wartime, when
maximum production is matter Of
patriotism as well as necessity, the
existing union rules which tend to
interfere with maximum produc-
ton, the various restraints" con-
sidered as evil as the restraint Of
trade" resulting from monopolies,
all have been highlighted by war
conditions. Bills will be presented
to root out these ills. Much of the
restriction of unions could be avoid
ed If the unions cleaned their own
house.
In America, as in England, when
nation is called upon to make the
sacrifices demanded by this war, it
can be expected that the people
will insist on a democratic distribu-
ton of opportunity and reward Of
effort when peace comes. The war
will also have taught that maximum
production means maximum pros
perity. There are plenty Of people
to consume peacetime products;
there are plenty of natural resources
whose development can furnish the
jobs for the consumers and provide
the pay which makes it possible
for them to buy what is produced.
Any group or institution-farm, la
Dor, management-which stands in
the way of this maximum production
is bound to have its wings clipped.
Meanwhile, the people will demand
and get greater assurance" against
rainy days, which come even when
prosperity is with us. And in pro-
viding it, if Britain comes along,
America cannot be far behind.

SOUTH PACIFIC:
Advance In Buna

Japanese tenacity was nowhere in
greater evidence than on the bitterly
fought Buna front in New Guinea.
Allied headquarters spoke repeated
ly Of advances against stubborn
Japanese resistance.
Striking at Jap coastal fortifica-
tons, ground troops eliminated a
triangular enemy stronghold of -
bunkers, then were forced to beat
off a counterattack. The desperately
defended bunker triangle, approx
smately $500 yards from the coast,
had been bypassed earlier in the Al
lied drive toward the Buna govern
ment station. 1t was surrounded sew
eral days before, after tanks and in
fantry had gone ahead to smash
through to the coast and thence turn
west to advance on the Buna air
strip. .f
Up the coast from Buna, Allied
bombers hit at the Lac airdrome
and at Kavieng in New Ireland. Fires
were started at both places. Bomb
ers also struck at the Gasmata air
field in New Britain.

GIFT:
OF 20 Million

In 1899, Walter P. Murphy, head
of the Standard Railway Equipment
company, gave Northwestern uni
versity $6,735, 900 with which to es-
tablish a chronological institute on
the Evanston, ILL.,, campus.
When death came to Walter Muir
ply on December 16, 1912, he had
not forgotten Northwestern. A pro-
vision Of his will, announced at the
end of the year, gave the univer-
sity more than $40, 1000, 600 to devel-
op, maintain and operate the tech
biological institute. Beyond this re-
striction the will placed no limita-
ton on the use of the bequest.
The gift raised Northwestern uni
versity to fifth place in amount of
endowment among the universities
of the country. Harvard, Yale, the
University of Chicago and the Uni
versity of Rochester lead.

AFRICA:


Worldwide cooperation of all
French leaders not captives Of the
Axis powers was deemed almost a
certainty when Gen. Henri Giraud,
successor to the assassinated Adm.
Jean Darlan as high commission
er Of North Africa, named Gen. Al
phonse JUN as commander in chief
of the French forces in Africa.
JUN commanded French African
forces at the time of the Allied oc-
cupation in November and had since
been collaborating with the pro-
Allied French regime.
The previous appointment of Gil
raud had unifying effect which was
missing under Darlan. French North
African civil and military forces raj
lied around the new commander, as
did Gen. Charles de Gaulle, leader
of the Fighting French, who would
have no part of Giraud's predeces-
sor.
Battle in Tunisia
Although the Allied North African
headquarters acknowledged that
British and American forces had
withdrawn from a hill position six
miles northeast of Medjez-el-Bab-
which they held for less than a week
competent observers said that the
Allied position as a whole was not
materially affected.
In another area of operations it
appeared as though Field Marshal
Erwin Rommel was intent only on
getting his broken Africa Corps to
Tunisia for the Axis final stand on
the African continent. Rommel had
three possible lines of defense on the
Libyan coast. But British eighth
army patrols broke through the first
one at Wadi Bel Ell Chebir, SIS miles
west Of Sirte and 1876 miles east Of
Tripoli. Rommers chances were
lessening. And above all, the Mid
die Eastern command appeared con-
fident.
Plot Nipped ~
An assassination plot against Gil
raud and Robert Murphy, President
Roosevelt's minister to French AZ
RIGA, was nipped in the making
when Giraud announced the arrest
of II persons, including two who
helped the American landing at AL
giers. 3y.,.iY sG
Brief initial dispatches said that
Giraud has announced that IL per-
sons were arrested to prevent ''fur-
Their assassinations. He said that
sit, is better to prevent than pun
ish" and that those arrested were
not going to be shot.
