Dear Sir:
Regarding Wendell WILKES tall
after returning from his trip to Eur
ope, WILKES main complaint was
that the U. S. was not supplying Rus
sio and China with enough food anC
munitions. Willkie said, what | saw
in one town in Russia you could put
in one room in my house." He die
not say that he saw or endeavored
to see all or even small part This
town might have been an inland town
that would receive only small part
of shipment, and might have been
stored in several places as explosives
should be.
1t will be remembered that his re
turn trip and talk was just before cleo
ton when the people owing to news.
paper articles and remarks by news
commentators were dissatisfied with
what we were doing for those coun-
tries IAN old republican trick.
In his talk Willkie said, 1--WE are
fast losing that reservoir of goodwill
in the United Nations"
What could sound sweeter to Hit
Ter? or what would build up German
morale more?
And then at election came the re-
publican landslide and the newspa-
pers, news commentators and we let
Willkie get away with it. Mr.. Roose-
welt could not explain or answer Will
kie then as our convoy was on their
way to Africa where our food and
munitions were going. Then, later
we read that so secret were the plans
for that convoy that even Willkie
knew nothing of it.
Then why was Willkie talking?
1t would seem that WILKES slogan
is, Lick Hitler, but lick Roosevelt
first"

in, without knowledge what would
happen. The results was a broken
block. This however can happen to
| anybody if care is not used, but more
so with men without experience.
The farmer who has to depend upon
help of this kind is not in shape to
increase production, he will do well
if he can peg away somehow.
l say beware. If you feel that you
have to have hired help without the
necessary experience, be with them
until you know that they can do the
work, so they will not be to your
ruination.
With the knowledge we now have
about the shortage of food, every eff
fort should be made to supply capable
help to produce it.
Yours very truly,
S. T. NESS.

Mr.. Claude R. Wickard, Secretary
Department of Agriculture

Dear Mr.. Wickard
In the Billings Gazette of March 8,
read release from your office in
Washington which states that your
department intends to give the patri-
otto American farmers a pat on the
back" by the issue of a certificate
stating This family is enlisted in all
out war production, the intention of
this movement is very evident to we
farmers-first this system of coersive
forced production is very crude and
second, it places your department in
position whereby through the patri-
otto efforts of the American farmers,
you fellows, can and will credit your
selves with any and ALL credit, for

Hitler Shifts
Army Leaders
New Commonder in
Tunisio Reported
BY EDWIN SHANKE

BY EDWIN SHANKE
STOCKHOLM, ED EN-,
Jan. 7-(PD-Another change IN
German military leadership was
reported today by dispatches
from Berlin which said that
Geenral Walther Nehring had
been superseded by Col. Gen.
Won Arnim as commander in
chief of the Axis forces in Tun-
isia.
The Berlin correspondent Of
! the Stockholm newspaper Sven
SRA Dagbladet, who reported the
change, described Won Arnim as
lone of Hltler's favorite Panzer
commanders but offered no
comment on the significance Of
the appointment.
Another Swedish newspaper,
the Dagens Nyheter, said the
weekly German newsreel had
shown the Bay of Tunis receiv-
ing Won Arnim and indicated
he was now in command.
(The only Won Arnim listed
in the German who's who is
Dietloff Won Arnim, sc, who
served as a cavalry captain and
an infantry battalion commander
in the World War. He also serv-
ed in the German Colonial Min
istry and as Berlin police and
Brandenburg provincial Off
cial.)
Won Arnim, recently raised
/ TO the rank of Colonel-General,
is comparatively little known
outside Germany, although he
has figured from time to time in
German news of the African
campaign.
There had been no intimation
from Germany that Nehring-
whose forces have been giving
the Allies bitter opposition in
Tunisia-had fallen into disfav-
or with Hitler.
The extent to which German
Reserves of manpoWer are being
strained was indicated. mean
while, by Dagens Nyheter dis
patch from Berlin saying that all
available members of Hitler S
brown shirted Nazi party fol-
lowers were being called up for
two months of winter war ex-
ercises, beginning in February.
Elite Guard officers fresh
from the Russian front will give
instruction in marching, shoot
ing and hand grenade throwing,
it was said.
All those physically capable
of standing the rigors of training
are expected to take part in the
exercises.
! Coincidentally the Elite Guard
organ, Schwartz korps, told the
German people that 1913 would
demand still higher contribu-
tons from the soldiers as well
as the home front"

II 900 Coal Miners Walk off Jobs In New Strk,
Hard Cool Shortage Moy
Develop Across Nation
Outflow Strike Halls
WILKES-BARRE. Pa. Jan. Z G

WILKES-B BARRE, Pa, Jan. 7
up - An outlaw strike of
10000 miners in the Pennsyl-
vania anthracite fields created a
shortage of hard coal today,
even as the Eastern seaboard felt
the pinch of newly frightened ra-
tioning of fuel oil.
Outgoing shipments were cur
tailed sharply and deliveries to
domestic consumers here in the
heart of the anthracite region
were limited to one ton.
Meanwhile, three local unions
of the United Mine Workers of
America, disregarding leaders
pleas that they return to work
Immediately, voted to remain on
strike.
The shortage was reported at
ter the OPA slashed fuel oil ra-
tons by 25 per cent for all nom
residential buildings in II east
ern states. Anthracite is used
primarily in homes, but thou
sands of householders have con-
verted from oil to coal in &C.
cordance with government de-
mands.
The OPA, acting to increase
production, also granted an in
crease of so cents ton, or about
5 per cent, in hard coal ceiling
prices yesterday TO enable oper-
ators TO meet higher production
costs. The increase was part of
a ment-sponsored plan to
boost the mine work week from
35 hours to six days.
An urgent appeal to the strik-
ers to return and settle their
grievances through pro p
channels" was made last night
by Thomas Kennedy, interna-
tional secretary-treasurer of the
UNIV, which had con demned the
walkout. Within a few hours,
however, three local unions
passed a formal strike vote and
workers in another colliery vot-
ed to 60 out.
The strike, which started De-
cember 70 in one COllierV and
spread to nine others, was pri-
marily in protest against a 81
cents a month increase in Union
dues voted at UNIV conven-
ton in Cincinnati last October,
Union spokesman said. The
workers also sought So a day
wage increase.
The dues increase, from 81 To
Sl.50, was supported by Union
leaders from the bituminous coal
fields and opposed by many an
thracite leaders. Carl Kraft
speaking for one group Of strik-
ers, said I'VE feel ''' we did
not have justice at the conven-
ton" and that 1926 bituminous
delegates had a voting power OF
4,027 while anthracite delegates
had a voting power of 1853.
Kennedy said the Unions ex.
ecutive committee would be ask
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1943-01-07

ed to hear any protests over
dues and that operators would
be asked to discuss wages as
soon as the six-day week plan
is worked out. All preliminaries
for adoption of the plan have
been completed. I
Earlier yesterday a Federal
