problem involved Is to compare the goal with
the job done last year.
With an early start and in this nations
first year Of active participation in World
War II. the ore feet moved down 1O3 $40
net tons to set a new all-time record. The
ships carried nearly 100000 tons OF coal
and over 100000 tons of limestone In
addition TO iron ore.
Even If the feet were able to operate as
many days as last year-and this seems IN
likely because that was an unusually long
season-the ships would have 70 move daily
average Of 100000 tons of ore, coal and lime
stone TO meet the quota set by government
officials
On the horizon, however, are at least two
bright spots which will contribute much to-
ward another record season.
New vessels, including five super freighters
commissioned by the Pittsburgh Steamship
Company, subsidiary Of U. S. Steel, and 10
new carriers under construction for the mari
time commission, are expected TO add about
5 900 600 tons 10 the fleets total carrying
capacity for the current season.

THE Great Lakes ore feet-the lifeline
i of industrial America-has swung into
action and will move an all-time record
tonnage Of ore down through the lakes TO the
giant steel mills which supply the nations
arsenals.
No easy task this, what with the opening
OF the season delayed by ice and stormy
weather, but the feet is loading at Escanaba
and will move into the upper lakes as soon as
they are opened to navigation.
A new high goal of 1S50000O0 tons OF
bulk freight movement has been set up by
agreement OF the WPB and ODT and Of this
amount. 100 100000 net tons (95,OOO,OOO
gross tons) will be iron ore. In addition
another $500, 900 tons Of ore will be shipped
by rail-
Ore requirements for the war effort had
previously been set at 100000 gross tons
but this figure was later modified in view OF
the delay in completing some new blast
furnaces

DETROIT SUNDAY TIMES PICTORIAL REVIEW
Imperial Valley press., 1943-03-15

WASHINGTON, March 15-tUP'
Americans, already warned that
they are approaching the nutrition
levels of Great Britain and Can
ada. will find out this week the
best they can expect in the way
OF food for the next year.
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
f. Wickard will make public on
Thursday a compilation of farm
ers' planting intentions gathered by
the crop reporting board from every
county.
Since it is impossible to harvest
what isn't planted, the report will
be especialley significant now, in
dicating how far the farmer is
responding to Wickard's urgent plea
fol increased acreage of war crops.
After that it will depend on the
weather and adequate labor supply
for cultivation and harvest.
Wickard has been preparing the
public for shorter rations. On
March 2 he told a senate approp-
nstions subcommittee: I'VE are ap-
preaching pretty rapidly the level

Despite their apparent success at
Kharkov. the Germans still have
their hands full in Russia. In the
wanna sector west of Moscow the
Russians still were advancing stead
lily and powerfully toward Smolensk,
Yartsevo. and Yelnya.
OBTAIN SPRINGBOARD
BY blasting through the Nazi
hedgehog positions the Red army
may obtain a Springboard position
for a summer drive against the
Germans not diSsimilar from that
the NaziS obtsined at Kharkov.
The air war over western Europe
fell into another lull, presumably
because of weather conditions. How
ever. the Royal air force carried
out low level attacks on the key
German airdromeS az Abbeville and
MaupertuS, and American Liberat-
orS made a new raid on Naples from
African bases.
The weight of the Allied air Of
fensive was emphasized anew by
Rome report that 652 persons were
killed nd many wounded in the
latest RAF attack on Cagliari, the
Axis base on the island of Sardinia
The fighting in Tunisia was al
most Stalemated, but new action
was expected at any time.

RUSSIA FIGURE
1t was believed that the problem
of Anglo American relations with
Russia figured prominently in the
first talk between Hull and Eden.
This belief was strengthened by
the fact that before seeing Eden
Hull conferred with 10y W. Hen
derson, chief of the states depart
ment's Russian section. Henderson
recently returned from a special
mission in Moscow where he served
as U. s. charge d'affaires while Am
baSsador William H. Standley was
on home leave.
The question of American-Soviet
relationships was brought to the
fore last week by Standley'S state
ment in Moscow that the Russian
people. were not informed about
American aid His charge was dis
owned by then Acting Secretary of
State Sumner WelleS.
Eden and Lord Halifax, the Brit
ish ambassador attended Hull'S reg
ular press conference.
Hull reported that the conversa-
tions with Eden had begun auspi-
ciously, and Eden told the news
men that he already had begun to
feel better as a result of the initial
talks.

Ed H. Achstetter, secretary-treaS-

and began to speak. The chairman
told him he looked too young to

Have you a son in the armed

chairman asked.
No" said Achstetter.
OUT OF ORDER
Then you're out of order he
said, sit down" Achstetter kept
on talking until the meeting was
turned over to Green, the new pres
ident. Green finally induced Ach-
Stetter to sit down by telling him
he had no voice in a meeting of
fathers of fighting men.
A tall young man who said he rep
resented the CIO then arose and
began to talk, attempting to drown
out Green's voice. Green repeatedly
asked him to sit down and explained
that he could speak at some later
meeting but there was no time then
and no one wanted to get entan-
gled with him in argument.
While the CIO man defended Ia
Dor unions and the strikes in war
plants, the fathers Of men in the
armed forces listened in polite
silence.

will you sit down, please?" Green
finally thundered. The man sat
down. The union leaders stayed af-
ter the meeting had adjourned,
however and argued with various
men. WE.Hancock finally said to
the young men:
You boys aren't dry behind the
cars SO lou have no business at
this meeting. When you get into
uniform, your fathers can repre-
sent you here just as we are repre-
Senting our sons"

MOSCOW, March Is. (UP)-The
Russians fell back to new defense
lines at Kharkov today while hun
dreds of thousands of German
troops battered them in ceaseless
waves.
The Soviet high command no
longer spoke of fighting north, west
or south of Kharkov. but referred
to the front as the "Kharkov area"
"a hint that the Germans have
broken through at least into the
citys suburbs.
However, there was no confirma-
ton of the German claim to have
captured Kharkov. A special COM
munique broadcast by radio Berlin
yesterday said elite troops had seiz-
ed the city lin an enveloping at

Thousands OF their own dead and

The Red army was under orders
to defend the city-fourth largest

patches said the fighting was the
nearest since the battle of Stalin-

While the situation WOrSened on
the Kharkov front, the Soviet arm

towns and hamlets in their converg-
ing drives on Smolensk, Germany'S
most important base on the central
front. The Soviet midday COM
