MOBILIZATION:
Super Board Formed

President Roosevelt's appointment
Of James F. Byrnes as director Of
the newly formed Office Of War
Mobilization meant that now the
home front would be marshalled be-
hind the war program on a scale
hitherto undreamed of.
Coming after the historic series of
conferences between the President
and Prime Minister Churchill of Brit
ain the establishment of the Office
of War Mobilization marked a sig
nificant milestone. For now the re-
sponsibility for production, procure
ment, transportation and distribu-
ton of military as well as civilian
supplies, materials and products was
vested in one man-James F. Byrnes
and the committee working with
him. That committee included Sec
rotary of War Stimson, Secretary of
Navy Knox, Harry Hopkins and WPB
Director Donald M. Nelson and Judge
Fred M. Vinson who succeeded
Byrnes as economic sterilization d.
rector.

UNITY: 49, ST II ., -.-.'' 1... II
French Leaders Agree

Unifcation of French leadership
with all conflicting forces submerged
in the grand task of iberating the
empire was a dream that had had
many nightmare Interruptions. But
with a spirit of give and take evil
dent among the Giraud and De-
Gaulle forces themselves and with
persistent urging from the United
States and Britain, the dream had
become reality. A-
Gen. Charles DeGaulle, Fighting
French leader, hailed the new era
in a radio broadcast on the eve of
his historic trip from London to AL
giers to meet General Giraud.
''Union of the empire will be ac-
coinplished," he said. when it is
realized how this is done in the face
of difficulties !. then ones re-
spect for France and ones faith in

RUSSIA:
Red Po,Uer Rises

After the Nazis had tested the
Reds mettle on four separate Sec
tors from Veliki Luki on the north
to the Caucasus on the south, the
Russians themselves provided the
fireworks by hurting $1,000 infantry
and tank men in vast assault
against the Axis Kuban lines in the
Caucasus.
While early Russian accounts Of
this movement were characteristic
cally laconic, Berlin radio dispatch
conceded that the first Russian
waves had thrust the German lines
back more than a mile on the Kuban
front protecting Novorossisk and
added that Nazi defenses were TAX
ing a terrific battering everywhere
along their last remaining Caucasus
foothold. Berlin said the Reds en-
ployed 10 divisions, at least ITO tanks,
200 planes and strong artillery
forces.
Whether this Russian move herald
ed the long-awaited summer battle
was still a matter of conjecture

CHINA:
jap Drires Menace

Chinese official observers had fire.
quently warned United Nations head
quarters that a collapse of their re-
sistance against Japan was possible
unless Allied air and military aid
was speeded up.
The stark truth of these warnings
became evident as a four-pronged
japanese drive along the Yangtze
river had reached within only 275
miles Of Generalissirno Chang Kali
shek's capital Of Chungking.
Doggedly the Chinese defenders
had contested every mile of territory
with the invaders, even winning To-
cal successes in some areas, notably
Ichang where Chiang's soldiers had
blunted the enemy drive.
But the threat Of Nippon's might
was still poised within striking dis
lance of Chungking and the Allied
high command still faced the prob
lem of abating that threat.

RAIL WAGES:
Nonoperators Tipped

Wage increases of eight cents an
hour recommended by an emergen-
cy fact-finding board of the National
Railway Labor board panel for more
than 900, 900 incorporating employees
will increase the rail industry's an
nual wage bill by approximately
$204, 900, 900, authoritative transpor-
tation sources estimated.
The Is incorporating unions had
asked an increase of 20 cents an
hour, with minimum wage Of 70
cents an hour and the union shop.
The board declined to recommend
these proposals. Subject only to ap-
prevail by Sterilization Director
James F. Byrnes, the boards rec
concentrations were retroactive to
February l.
The wage increases, a report Of
the board said, are "the minimum
noninfationary adjustments neces-
sary to correct gross inequities and
to aid in the effective prosecution Of
the war"

NEW DIKES':
To Stem Imitation

From the obscurity in which his
retirement had shrouded him, Leon
Henderson, former OPA director,
emerged to warn the nation that
'.another set of bikes" is needed to
dam what he called the rising tide
of threatened imitation in the United
States.
New dikes, new types of controls,
new kinds of exercise of power over
production and distribution and over
credit are bound to be needed" he
said in speech before the National
Association of Purchasing Agents
convention.
Henderson declared that if congress
sional, private or executive action
''are insufficient to dam the flood of
hot spending power" a credit con-
troll agency ''is plainly indicated and
cannot long be avoided"

ALEUTIANS:
Cleanup on Attu

Even as senatorial committee
was digesting a report that Japan
would send naval and land inva-
sion force against continental United
States this summer, American forces
in the Aleutians were pursuing a
relentless cleanup of enemy detach-
ments on Attu island.
Purveyor of the tidings of Jap Of
fensive intentions was Kilsoo K.
Ham, Washington representative of
the Korean National Front fedora
ton, who had established a record
for prophecy by warning two months
in advance of Jap plans to attack
Pearl Harbor. Burden of Hams re-
port was that Admiral TOTO had dis
closed plans for this offensive at a
party in Tokyo at which Korean
spies had been present.
In the Attu engagements, bayonets
and hand grenades in the hands of
American infantrymen had taken the
place of trench mortars and auto
matte rifles, as the few resisting
enemy were pressed into narrow
area from which escape was impos-
sible.

CASUALTIES:
u. S. Losses Light

Balancing Axis versus American
casualties in the Tunisian campaign,
Secretary of War Stimson found the
scales overwhelmingly in favor OF
the United States. The North Afri-
can victory cost the United States
1883 casualties, including 2,l84
killed, 9,437 wounded and 6,e37 miss
ing or taken prisoner.
Axis casualties amounted to $685.
900, or IS times the American total.
German and Italian losses included
$1,000 men killed and 26,400 wound
ed, with another 266, 1000 taken pris-
oner. In comparison, overall Al
lied losses were less than 10000.
In addition to prisoners, the Allies
captured tremendous quantities OF
military supplies, including large
numbers of aircraft and many naval
vessels, he said. Despite small
American losses Stimson said the
Tunisia campaign had developed
nothing to cause the high command
to reduce it's manpower estimates
under which the army is expected to
total 5000, 900 men.

would be taken to protect the ma

EUROPE:
Bombs MoUe Factories

AS Allied bombers continued to
plummet destruction on Axis Euro
pean industrial and transportation
centers, evidence mounted that the
Nazis were seeking to cushion the
impact of these raids by moving
their war industries to less vulner-
able spots in Hungary, Czechoslo-
vakia and Austria.
The dispersal of German industry
eastward was further indicated by
the fact that Allied reconnaissance
had disclosed no effort to repair or
clear such key installations as the
Focke-Wulf aircraft works in Brem-
en- or the Renault plant near Paris
wrecked by Allied bombs weeks ago.
Grimly and steadily, however, the
Allied airmen continued their mis-
sion of disaster as Axis city after
city was checked off the schedule.
Examples of this thorough job were
Dusseldorf and Dortmund, coal and
transportation centers of northwest
ern Germany, where 1000 tons of
bombs were dropped on successive
nights by the Raj. The munitions
making city of Essen was likewise
blasted again, while daring Raj
Mosquito bomber pilots penetrated
to the central German city of Jena,
home of the Zeiss factories making
optical instruments for the Nazis.
Meanwhile, invasion's prelude was
paced by series of port-wrecking
raids by U. S. and British planes
from French Africa on Italian ship
ping cities.

fitting in" getting on when you,
who have sat down to your meals
three times day as regularly as
the clock, miss the chow wagon; you
who have had kind and solicitous
mother or teacher looking after your
private troubles are suddenly faced
with sharing the troubles of your
squad or company or squadron.
Now, how are you going to adjust
yourself to this sudden change?
In the first place, you have to I'M
derstand why everything seems
topsy-turvy. Why you, free-born
American citizen, who did as he
pleased when and how it pleased
him, suddenly have to get up by
bugle, keep step, salute, eat, sleep,
drink, walk, run, crawl when some
body else says so.
The first thing you have to realize
is the purpose ahead. The next
thing is why other people whom you
never see insist on achieving that
purpose the way they do, regardless
of your convenience or your date at
the post office.
Your DUN Orders
"Your government controls the
armed forces" That means that the
men your folks elected, just the way
it was planned by the makers of
America, are really the ones who
are telling you what to do. Which
means, if you follow through, that
you yourself and your folks are tell
ing you.

heads chapter two in this book "Our
Armed Forces" I'm talking about.
You had better read it.
The next chapter is called "Your
Army" And you had better read
that too because it tells you some
thing of what to expect. I won't go
any further and really I ought to
have been talking all this time to
parents, too, for they, of all people,
ought to know what the boy is up
against. What it is all about. One
of the great tragedies of being a
soldier is the way the folks back
home don't understand it at all. They
think their job is to feel sorry for
YOU; they don't understand what
an extra stripe really means, they
can't get you when you talk about
home and the things you want to
hear about and they write and tell
you how noble you are. You don't
feel noble. You want to know if
the barn has been painted or if your
girl has been around lately. You
would, though, like them to have
some faint idea about this not-alto-
gether unpleasant job of being sol
der. That's why it would be good
thing if your folks would read this
book.
