VACATIONS:
Public Must Cooperate

Summer vacations by train for
Americans remained a probability
in spite of a ruling by the Office of
Defense Transportation that no adj
ditional summer train service re-
curing the use Of Pullman sleep
ing car equipment would be author
lied. Rail officials expressed the
belief that regular services would
be sufficient to accommodate vaca-
tionists if the public is willing to
accept inconvenience and cooper
ate by spreading travel throughout
the week.
Only exception to the curtailment
policy, the ODT stated, will be
coach trains operated in the pc
Rod between Saturday noon and
Sunday midnight utilizing primarily
commuter equipment otherwise idle
in that period and additional trains
of semi-commuter type operated on
other days of the week within q
radius of approximately SO miles of
a terminus"
All other requests for extra coach
or parlor-car train service for daily,
tri-weekly or weekend summer op-
erations will be denied, the ODT in
dictated.

TUNISIA:
Ndzis Counter-Attdck

Fighting stubbornly to delay the
inevitable day of reckoning, Axis
troops sought desperately to pre-
vent the Allied armies from further
narrowing their last hold in Tunisia.
Is On'both the north and south fronts,
German counter-attacks were fol-
lowed by successful Allied thrusts
that wrested mountainous terrain
from the enemy and forced the Axis
armies nearer to their last-stand po-
sitions.
In the north, the British First
army pushed southeast after repel-
ling major enemy assaults in the
Medjez-el-Bab sector, destroying
more than one-third Of the Nazi
tanks opposing them.
In the north, General Montgom-
ery's British Eighth army made inn
portant gains in the strategic hill
country north and west of Enfida-
vile which brought it closer to
Tunis.
Meanwhile, bombers of the Allied
tactical air force kept up constant
attacks against the few. remaining
Axis-held airfelds.

DRAFT:
PayrOlIers on Call

Probability that many of the 840,-
900 draft-eligible men on govern
ment payrolls would be inducted
into the armed forces was seen in
the selective services ruling that
federal workers could not be de-
ferred for occupational reasons ex-
cept through examination of individ-
ual cases by a special presidential
committee.
Up to the present, thousands of
government workers had been given
deferred classification as essential.
Selective service announced that
effective May Is, the $500 local
boards must submit monthly to Ma
jor General Hershey, for transmits
sion to congress, the names and
numbers of federal employees clas-
sified as IA or 2-B, the classes of
deferment for occupational reasons.

VENGEANCE:
For jap Executions

Stern punishment for the Jap mil
itary leaders responsible for the ex-
ecution of American fiers captured
after last years raid on Tokyo was
promised by President Roosevelt,
who. said the United States would
'.hold personally and officially re-
sponsible'' all those who partici-
pated in these crimes and bring
them to justice.
That the Japs' barbarity was a
confession of their vulnerability to
air attack was clear. This was un-
derscored by Tokyo broadcasts
threatening to execute American fiji
ers captured on future raids over
Japan. IS
The reply to such threats was Civ
en9by Maj. Gen. Henry H. Arnold,
commander of the air forces, who
told his fiers: IS
"Let your answer to their treat
ment Of your comrades be the de-
struction OF the Japanese air force,
their lines of communication, and
the production centers which offer
them the opportunity to continue
such atrocities. O.
TO this Maj. Gen. James H. Doc
little, who led the Tokyo raid year
ago added: "eSoon our bornbers will
be there again, striking at the heart
of Japan until the empire crumbles
and. they beg for mercy"

RUSSIA:
Caucasus Front Actiue

+ Continuing to employ "strive at
any cost" tactics, German armies
in the Caucasus kept up full-scale
attacks against the Russians in the
Kuban delta despite heavy losses
and lack Of success in the early
stages.
Two detectives were included in
the Nazi plans, military observers
believed. One was to relieve So
Wet pressure on the enemy's bridge
head at Nevorossisk. The other was
to build up the momentum Of q
drive that might be the prelude to
new Axis spring offensive.
AS the fighting increased in in
tensity, the activity of the opposing
air forces was stepped up. German
communicates reported that the luft-
waite was straffing Red supply
bases on the Black sea coast. So
Wet communicates revealed that
while Red airmen had broken up
one enemy effort to ferry reinforce
ments across the Black sea to Novo-
rossisk, the. Germans had succeeded
later in providing substantial rein
forcements for their army in the
Caucasus bridgehead. -

U-BOAT DAMAGE:
More Ships the Remedy

Calling submarine losses Of United
Nations shipping "heavy but not
disastrous, the Truman senate
committee revealed that approx
mately 10000 tons a month were
sunk last year-or more than the
total tonnage built by the United
States and Britain combined in 1912.
Adding that losses were reduced
in the latter months Of the year, the
report declared: 1.-THE submarine
menace can and will be effectively
met"
Most effective answer to the
U-boat threat will be increases in
new construction Of merchant ships
and escort vessels this year, the
committee said. The report esti-
mated that between 10 and 10 mil
lion lightweight tons will be built in
1913, compared with 5000, 900 tons
last year.
Increased speed for newly con-
structed ships was promised through
the building of new Victory models
and the redesigning of Liberty ships
to permit speeds of Is to II knots
compared with II knots for the pres
ent design.

Diary of a Broadcasfer

Today / made it from bedside to
desk in one hour and Is minutes,
including the time to make my own
breakfast of coffee, poached eggs,
grapefruit and zwieback (ny wife
is away also to traverse on foot
some Is Washington blocks. I think
that this record is not bad consider
ing the variety of activities included.
I managed to hear the early five
minute newscast and scanned the
headlines which told me whether the
news wind.was blowing in the same
direction this morning that it was
last night when the newspapers
went to bed-in other words, was !
to pillow fresh fields or harvest what
/ could from the old ones.
I also removed the blanket that
shields our three parakeets from
northern drafts and waited for the
welcoming chirrup that one, the
least snobbish of the three, conde-
scends to give me before l leave
the room. AS soon as I do, they
all burst into song.
Walking to work in Washington
these days is like reviewing the
armies of the United Nations for
one can spot almost any uniform
between Dupont Circle and Pennsyl-
vania avenue. But it seems that
the WAVES are in the preponder-
ance. The WAACs are smart but
the navy has a uniform that is
little bit less drab than the olive. 1t
is surprising how an elderly matron
turns out in that navy blue-and-gold
as smart as a midshipman.
Washington's springtine. one Of
its two beautiful seasons, is here in
April-gone in May. First, the for
sythia burns with its yellow flame;
then the magnolias blush and fade,
and the dogwoods raise their sweet
ghostliness among their darker sis
tiers; then the cherry blossoms come
and there are many of them scat
tered over the city as well as the
better advertised ones along the la
COON. Soon they are followed by
leaves on the oaks and the elms
and the. naples. Then backyards
are brilliant with the rambler roses
and you know that spring is done.

Bride Carried High

Among the strangest wedding
customs of the world are those of
the Bugis tribesmen of the Celebes
in the Dutch East Indies.
When a woman is to be mar
ried, it is necessary for three days
before the ceremony that her feet
do not come into contact with the
ground. During this period she is
continuously under the influence of
drugs administered to her as she
is carried about on the shoulders
of members of her family.

l, myself, have been unable to ac-
cept lecture dates because it is so
difficult to be certain of connections
and broadcaster has to move with
the regularity of train schedule
"a train schedule in peace time
the microphone waits for no man.
There have been rurnors of late
that transportation was snagged;
that because of the U-boats, sup
plies were piling up on the docks
and loaded freight cars were jam
ming the yards and causing con-
gestion. But the Office of War In
formation says that latest advices
indicate that congestion is being
lessened. In fact, the official word
is: 1.-THE battle of transportation
at crisis at Pearl Harbor time
/. (. is now being won."
Nearing Limit
l hope that this statement isn't
over-optimistic. AS matter of fact,
the reservation is noted that "the
victories are not necessarily perma-
nent. Our transportation equipment,
with few exceptions, is being used
close to its limits'-and there re-
main two situations which are not
satisfactory, one is movement of oil
and the other is the problem OF
getting the war workers to and
from work.
The latter difficulty is responsible,
according to some investigators. for
much of the recently decried alb
Senteeism.
To get an idea of what the traffic
has to bear in city where war in
dustries are concentrated, there has
been an increase of use of the De-
troit street railway systems of 1853
per cent. The Baltimore transit line
is up go per cent and the Washing
ton, 131 per cent. l know what these
figures mean as does anyone who
has to make his way to and from
work in the capital. ! have also
seen that fabulous city of San Diego,
once pleasant, sleepy town which
seemed to move lazily with the peli-
cans that flew over the bay or the
whispering palms. The pelicans
have been replaced by planes and
it's a 24-hour town, with 1886 per
cent increase in the use of its BUSES
and trolley cars.
