TUNISIA:
FO1' in Corner

Ending one of the longest retreats
in military history, Marshal Rom
mel's Axis Africa Korps hammered
in its stakes in the triangular de-
tense zone of northeastern Tunisia.
All around, Allied forces under su-
preme command of Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower drew up for the final
phase of the battle of North Africa.
To the west stood the British First
army; to the southwest, mixed Al
lied forces of French and American,
and to the south the redoubtable
British Eighth army, which had
chased Rommel all the way in from
Egypt.
Allied leaders estimated that the
Axis had 100000 men in the tri-
angle, although reports reaching
London from Switzerland stated that
Italian troops were being pulled out
of the box and sent to Sicily. Against
this force the Allied leaders had al
most million men to hurl, besides
enjoying numerical superiority in
the air.
Jagged ridges and gulches distin-
guish the position Rommel has cho-
sen for a last stand.

Broadcaster's Diary

The other day, I received a letter
that shows that commentators are
of some practical use in the world
after all. 1t was from a lady from
Long Beach, Calf, who wrote:
II ,Uanted to phone for a plumber one
day last ,Ueek. Each time l tried to use the
phone, fipo ,UOmen tuere talking (about
nofhing) on the '3.party' line. tried every
fue minutes for nearly half an hour. neper
saying anything, only picking up the phone
and having to hang up again.
"One OF the times, | heard one Of them
say some Uoman iUants the line but pay
for il just as much as she does! You, Mr..
Baukhage, tUere just about to finish your
regular broadcast" my ,Urifer goes on, "and
some imp OF mischief from my youth re.
turned to my 50year.old heart as I sudden.
iy connected that remark ,Uith the closing
Words OF your program. You had about
ftUO minutes yet to go, so I hurriedly
plugged my portable garden radio into the
electric socket iUhich is near the phone
table and just at the right moment lifted
the receiver of the phone. Yes they
Uere still talking ;. so-jusf as you said:
That's all, and thanks very n1uch,' put the
phone mouthpiece right NEXT to the radio

ond. Then, I listened on the phone and
heard one iU0man say in an actually meek
voice, 4 guess toe hare talked pretty long.
See you later. Goodbye
After I stopped laughing, I called the
plumber but you helped me, so I do think
you deserve to be thanked also for real
laugh"

RUML PLAN:
Doughton UnforgiUiug

Pay-as-you-go but no forgiveness
on taxes!
Doughty old Robert Doughton
stood up in the house and told men,
bers pressing for reconsideration of
the Ruml plan that his Ways and
Means committee favored deducting
20 per cent from weekly payrolls
but letting the question of forgiving
any taxes go till study of new
tax bill.
Although backed by leaders of the
majority party, Doughton failed to
still opposition. Representative Jo-
seph Martin served notice he would
continue efforts to bring the Ruml
plan back to the floor for further
discussion.
With no tax forgiveness, the 20 per
cent payroll deduction undoubtedly
would apply to current taxes, with
remaining payments on 1912 taxes
being additional.

DRAFT:
You'll Be in the Army

With few exceptions, all physically
able men between 10 and 81 years of
age will be in the army by 1914!
So says Paul v. McNutt, War
Manpower Commissioner, within
whose office falls the National Selec-
tive Service board. Several months
ago, McNutt announced that only
employment in essential industry,
and not dependency, would be basis
for deferment.
Now, the Selective Service board
has made it official. Heads of
homes, childless married men, and
married men with children will be
called up for service unless they
work in jobs deemed essential to
the war effort. Exceptions will be
made only if induction threatens to
work hardship on wife, child or
parent.
To help solve the farm labor prob
lem, broad exemption was given
agricultural workers. The &c class
will defer men engaged in farm la
Dor while &C will exempt men with
dependents in agriculture.

comes the Army's name "mess"

by the way, is gift that's always

Post Office restrictions on pack
ages to overseas Army men, you

RECIPROCAL TRADE:
Sho1U We Mean Business

Under fire of congressman who ex-
pressed fear that the administra-
TONS reciprocal trade treaties tend
toward reduction in American liv-
ing standards, Secretary of State
Cordeu Hull urged their renewal as
a sign that the United States will
promote free development of COM
merce after the war.
Furthermore, Hull declared, re-
neWal of the reciprocal trade trea-
ties will place American industry in
a position to bid for world trade
after peace has closed many facto-
ries now working at capacity.
Under the present Reciprocal
Trade act which expires June IL,
the President is allowed to enter
into agreements with foreign coun-
tries calling for mutual reductions
in tariffs on different commodities
for periods of three years. Oppo-
nents of the act would limit the life
of these pacts to less than three
years.

RUSSIA:
LuU Before Storm,

The lull continued before the
storm in Russia.
Both sides reported minor &C.
ton. The Reds claimed to have
thrown back small waves of German
infantry that tried to run over Rus
sian positions on the Volkhov river
southeast of Leningrad.
The Reds also announced that ar
tillery and machine gun fire was
concentrated on German positions
before Smolensk as part of a plan
to reduce the outer defenses of
the Nazi bastion.
For themselves, the Germans re-
ported continued secondary action
along the west bank of the Donets
river below Kharkov. Here, they
said, artillery fire raked the en-
trenched Russian forces. Neither
side claimed major advances.

PAN-AMERICANISM:
Blueprint for Future?

There was new note in the cele-
brations that marked this years
Pan-American day as the 81 West
ern hemisphere republics took time
out from vital war work to project
possible international relationship
pattern when peace comes. This
note indicated that the Pan-Ameri-
can Union, founded half a century
ago, might become the blueprint for
drawing up agreements which even
tually lead to peaceful dealings.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
Something in the Air

Indicative of an impending large
scale move, in line with warnings
of Gen. Douglas Macarthur, jap
anese airmen continued their bomb
ing campaign against Allied South
west Pacific strongholds in the New
Guinea area.
One hundred Jap planes attacked
the important Allied supply base Of
Port Moresby, with SO bombers pro-
tected by an equal number of fight
ers. Allied airmen arose to chal-
lenge the enemy and they were aid
ed by heavy anti-aircraft fire.
In all, 81 Jap planes fell in flames,
% in dog-fghts and eight from &C.
curate ack-ack.
Jap losses at Port Moresby raised
to rs the number of planes lost in
two days.
Coming from down under, Austria
liam Minister for External Affairs
DR.. Herbert Evatt has come up with
a plea for increased help to Allied
forces in the Southwest Pacific.
DR.. Evatt's plea conceded with a
warning from the Allies two top
Southwest Pacific commanders, Gen.
Douglas Macarthur and Lieuten-
ant General Blamey, that the Japs
were massing planes and men north
of Australia. General Macarthur
said the enemy was seeking to re-
establish his air superiority while
Lieut.. Gen. Blamey warned that the
Japs had concentrated 200, 1000 men
to capitalize on aerial advantage.

United Nations Conferences
First Real Test Of Solidarity
Russia Seen as Vital Factor in World Organ
ization or DISCRIMINATION; Mutual Under
standing Essential to Worthwhile Peace.
BY BAUKHAGE
Ne,us ANALYST and Commentator.

Well, what of it. California never
threatened to secede because of New
England's blue laws or New York
state because of the way they turn
out divorces in Nevada.
The important thing is, what are
Russia's intentions concerning other
nations? On my desk, there is be-
ginning to accumulate the literature
OF the various little nations Poland,
Latvia, Finland, who are already
starting to plead for the restoration
OF lost territory or sovereignty.
Anti-Communistic feeling is strong
in America. You will hear tales of
how Stain expects to make a
deal with Germany, how he expects
to turn France communist the mo-
ment the country is freed from Ger
many. You will also hear the as
surances of people like Mr.. Cowles
who say: "Stalin no longer feels
that the survival and development
of the Soviets depend on world revo-
lution.' That Russia wants to be
allowed to go her own way, to work
out her own salvation and once she
has assurance that a combination of
other nations will not arise against
her, she will be only too content to
live and let live.
l was talking with a seasoned and
pretty cynical observer who has
seen the seamy side of foreign rela-
tions at close range for many
years. He is suspicious of Russia,
equally suspicious of Britain. But
even he said to me:
Before we talk too much about
the obstacles in the way of an inter-
national understanding, let's find out
what the British and Russian and
other statesmen really want"
The Goal
That is all the gentlemen in the
senate are asking, who are working
so arduously to obtain the passage
of the Ball resolution which would
put the United States government
on record as favoring the creation
OF an international organization to
keep the peace, of assuring United
States cooperation in policing the
world against any aggressor.
There were few people who, when
this United Nation was born, be-
ieved that it could live. 1t did.
Norman Angel, in that exceedingly
cogent book of his, LET the People
Know" concludes one chapter with
these words:
"1n the old days, we felt impelled
to burn man alive if he did not
attend our church. Never, men
were sure, could those of the true
faith live at peace with heretics. But
they found that men of different
faiths could live together; that they
could keep their differences, yet be
