SCHOOL BELLS:
In Wartime

Americas system of higher edu-
cation is headed for some profound
and sweeping changes under plans
now released by the army and navy
to train youths between II and %
for specialized military duties.
Scheduled to begin in February
the new setup for high school and
college youths would be put into
operation in several hundred col
leges and universities throughout the
nation. Students now in high school
and college would fit into the pro-
gram at the time they were called
up for military training and virtual
ly every youth over II in school
would be affected.
AS outlined in joint army-navy
statement made in Chicago the plan
calls for these major developments:
/. Mobilization of selected num-
Der of colleges and universities for
training soldiers in military-directed
courses.
2. Enlisted soldiers now having
completed their basic training Cor.
about to completely will be selected, if
qualified, for specialized training
when the plan is first set in motion.
8. A cadet system will be organ
lied for the selected colleges and
military training will thus be CIV
en- but it will be subordinated to
academic instruction.
4. When soldiers complete any
phase of the specialized training at
these schools they will do one of
four things: (a) be given further
training in officers candidate school
(b) returned to the troops; (c) rec
commended for technical noncom-
missioned officers or (d) detailed
for advanced technical training.
Meanwhile the navy will be select
ing high-school graduates or those
with equivalent qualifications for in
duction as apprentice seamen or ma
rine privates. Placed on active duty
with pay these youths will attend
designated schools.

RUSSIA:
See-Sa,U Battle


In the see-saw battle of Russia
the course of warfare appeared
to favor once more the Red army as
an official communique announced
the capture of five additional strong
points in the Rzhev sector on the
central front. 1t told, too, Of the re-
pulse of a heavy Nazi counterat-
tack in the area southwest of Stain
grad.
In their counterdrive at Kotel-
nikovski, 80 miles southwest of Stall
ingrad, the Axis armies attempted
to throw back the flank of the Rus
sian forces south of the Don river
and break through the Russian trap.
The attacks were led by tanks, dive
bombers and motorized infantry.
Red Star, Soviet army newspaper,
said many Axis troops were slaugh-
tered and the attacks were hurled
back decisively.
To the west of Stalingrad the Red
army was said to be widening the
broad barrier they had made be-
tween the Nazis on the banks of
the Don and those trapped near
Stalingrad. During the Russian
drive on the central front, which
took seven more villages, two bat
talions of German infantry were re-
ported wiped out. A communique
reported that near Vilikie Lulxi. Rus
sian troops beat off a German at
tempt to break through the lines to
help surrounded Nazi garrison and
destroyed Nazi equipment.

FARM DAY:
Vital Goals

Tuesday, January IL, has been
proclaimed by President Roosevelt
as Farm Mobilization day. On this
day meetings are to be held
throughout the nation to determine
ways and means ''of ensuring for
the year 1913 the maximum produc-
ton of vital foods"
Farmers are being asked on that
day to gather with department of
agriculture officials, extension serv-
ice, agents, vocational teachers,
farm organizations and others con-
cerned to discuss plans for meeting
the high food production goals for
the 1913 crop year. !.
President Roosevelt praised the
farmers for their production of rec
ord maximum harvests in the past
three years and declared that every
pound of food finds use in wartime.
Food" he said, els no less a
weapon than tanks, guns and planes.
AS the power of our enemies de-
creases, the importance of the food
resources of the United Nations in-
creases. With this thought in mind,
we must further mobilize our re-
sources for the production of food"

AFRICA:
Darlar Speaks

II have announced that my sole
purpose is to free France and then
retire to private life"
With those words Adm. Jean OAR
Ian, high commissioner Of French
Africa, hoped to still the loud voice
of criticism which had been leveled
at him by the Fighting French, the
British and certain American
He did not wholly succeed. The
Fighting French wanted more than
words from Admiral Darlan to as
sure them. The British and COM
paratively few Americans remained
skeptical.
Darlan, in a statement of clarifi-
cation, called for maximum mill
tary effort for the defeat of Ger
many and Italy and added that "this
will be accomplished by the unity of
all citizens, regardless of their po-
litical or religious opinions, in an
orderly and cohesive fashion,"
Darlan also declared fatty that
strong French fleet units at Dakar,
Alexandria and North African ports
would join the British and U. S.
fleets. Those units included: three
battleships, more than seven cruis-
ers, approximately score Of SUBJ
marines and several destroyers.
Hit Tunis, Bizerte
Concentrating on docks and air
fields in Bizerte and Tunis, Ameri-
can and British bombers continued
to carry out their day and night
raids with thunderous accuracy.
Tropical rains had brought land
action to minimum, with action
limited largely to patrol sorties. It
was evident that the Allies were
willing to sacrifice forward positions
to reduce losses pending an about
offensive.
Allied attacks on Axis airfelds
are damaging the efforts of the Luft-
waite ground stats to maintain op-
erations. It is reported that less
than two-thirds of the total force are
able to take to the air at any time.

U. S. COAL:
Double Axis OUTPUT

The War Production boards goal
for 1943 calls for a production rate
by the end Of the year estimated to
be twice as great as that Of the
Axis nations. More than $50, 0OO,-
100000 worth of American weapons
will be manufactured in 1913. U. S.
war production in 1912 equals that
of all the Axis countries, the WPB
reported. The United Nations are.
out-producing the Axis almost two
to one at present.

hope and faith. Stain was able to
create a faith in his regime, not so
much in the theory of communism,
but in the government which had
shorn off considerable socialistic at
tributes and borrowed where it had
to from capitalism. And the various
plans had awakened a hope in the
people that this regime would give
them a lot of the things that they
began to find out other nations had.
They were, therefore, fighting to
realize the hope that they would get
the things which the regime, in
which they had faith, had promised
them and a part of which they had
already realized.
Now comes the next step. There
has grown up, with the blessing of
the Stain regime, a great respect
for many things about America as
country with whose help the Russian
can obtain the things which he hopes
for and which he knows the Ameri-
cans possess.
Therefore, Russia's aim is to help
the Allies win the war and also help
with the peace with the expectancy
that in return America will help
Russia to realize its hopes.
That is the way my informant
tells the story-and, I might add,
that is the way America "hopes"
history will one day record it.
Questionnaires
The other day / was sitting beside
a man who has a great deal to do
with whether you and will be rum
ming our automobiles next year.
Somebody asked him what he
thought about these questionnaires
which farmers who want gasoline or
tires have to fill out.
This gentleman paused quite
awhile.
IT can't tell you what l think Of
them," he replied sadly, while
there are ladies present"
I would like to tell you that mans
name, but it was strictly private
gathering. In any case, / hope it
will show you that all Washington
officials are not bureaucrats and
since this man is man Of action,
you can count on his help to carry
out some of the recommendations
of the Truman committee, on gaso-
line and fuel rationing.
1.-THE farmer with a small truck
operating II hours a day." says an
informal report of the committee,
working IL hours a day to keep
body and soul together and to con-
tribute in some small measure
to the war effort finds himself sud-
denly obliged to digest a 32-page
pamphlet Of instructions and fill out
an elaborate QUESTIONABLE requiring
detailed data on activities long past
from entirely nonexistent records"
This is the thing Washington Is
now fighting against. All that Is
needed is to get someone who is
familiar with the problem Of the
small farmer and truck operator"
to make up the questions. And that
is the prescription that will have to
be applied in the writing of all ques-
tionnaires in the future. Perhaps it
will be.

PRICE CONTROL:
No Surprise

Washington dopesters had an
nomced it weeks before so there
was little surprise throughout the
nation when Leon Henderson re-
signed as director Of the Office Of
Price Administration. Announce
ment of the resignation came from
President Roosevelt who, in accept
ing it, praised Henderson and de-
clared that 'sYou have not spared
yourself -. and appreciate
your patriotic service" ~
Henderson said that he was quit
ting because Of a recurrent physi-
cal difficulty and a "rather bad"
impairment Of eyesight. The Presi-
dent asked him to keep the White
House advised ON his physical con-
dition SO that when he had recov-
cred he could be recalled to govern
ment service in some other capac-
ity.
Because Of his firmness in ham
ding rationing affairs and because
Of his treatment of congress with
out concern Of political favor) Hem
derson has been under fire for
months. Early in December many
Washington sources predicted he
was resigning and had suggested
that Sen. Prentiss M. Brown, Michi-
gan Democrat, succeed him. Brown,
defeated for his senate post IN the
last election, had previously piloted
the price sterilization bill through
congress.

LIBYA:
africa Corps Split

Long pounded by the British
eighth army, Field Marshal Rom
mel's Africa corps took new and
heavy body blows when his fleeing
Axis forces were neatly divided by
Sir Bernard Montgomery's pursuing
troops.
In sudden fanking movement adj
vanced forces of the British army
reached Wadi Matratin, IS miles
west of Ell Agheila on the Gulf Of
Sirte. From there, units Of the Mont
gomery army sliced off to the south,
cutting Rommeps army in two, one
force continuing its westward fight,
the other caught between the British
main army and the British advanced
units.
Included in the enemy troops cut
off were arnored forces which, in
desperate maneuvers to escape, suf-
fered heavy casualties and sscontin-
ued to be severely mauled," the
Middle Eastern command commu-
nique stated. The main eighth army
was showing ahead, forcing its way
through mine fields laid by the re-
treating Germans, eager to get at
the, trapped troops. saraei
