ABSENTEEISM:
Wage Docking Urged

''Hit them in the pocketbook. If
you dock their wages you are hit
ting them where it hurts"
This was the prescription for cur
ing the problem of persistent absen-
teeism by war plant workers pro-
posed by Secretary Of Navy Frank
Knox. Testifying before the house
naval affairs committee, Knox ad-
vocated remedial legislations cover
ing both draft-age and -draft-age
workers.
A large share of the absenteeism
is caused by men safe from the
draft, he told the committee which
was studying measures to require
periodic reports to local draft boards
on absentees of military age. Best
results in curing absenteeism would
be to deprive such workers Of earn
ings for part Of the time they were
actually at work, he added.

NAVY:
Predict 1920 Losses

A navy ''big enough to dominate
all seas over the world was envi-
stoned by Secretary Frank Knox,
who added a warning that the Amer
lean people must be prepared to ex-
pect 10 per cent casualty rate in
navy personnel before the wars
end.
Secretary Knox and ranking naval
officials unfolded a program for
building up personnel strength to
2,250,0O0 by July, 1914, in testimony
before the house subcommittee on
naval appropriations. Appropria-
tons totaling 1916, 900, 900 to imple-
ment this program were approved
by the subcommittee.
The navy had 1905 ships in COM

ing to Rear Admiral Randall ia
cobs, chief Of the bureau of person
mel. This number will be increased
to approximately 400 by the end

LOS ANGELES: Canned baby food
is becoming more popular-particu-
1arly with adults, according to Sam
M. White, secretary of the Southern
California Retail Grocers' associa-
ton. The reason, he says, is the
present rationing system. The low
ration point value of canned baby
foods constitute their chief appeal.

BERNIE: Diplomatic circles re-
ported that Pope Plus XII had been
asked to assume the initiative in an
effort to obtain agreements among

ing to reports, Archbishop Francis

Vatican City visitor on an unan-
nounced mission, had examined the

NORTH AFRICA:
ROn1n1eI In Reverse

AS Allied troops continued their
drive in Tunisia, it became increas-
ingly clear that Marshal Rommeps
short-lived Kasserine Pass offensive
had been a gamble If he succeed
ed, he would follow it up. II he
failed, he would waste no time in re-
firing. This was emphasized by the
rapidly with which American and
British forces had regained the
ground lost in RommeIs first push.
Reports disclosed that some units
Of the British Eighth army had made
contact with American troops in the
Gafsa area of central Tunisia after
circling the Mareth line from the
south and advancing through the
Chott Djerid marshes which had
hitherto been regarded as inpassa-
ble..
American forces pressing ROM
mePs retreat from the Kasserine
pass were reported well beyond
Sbeitla on the way to the Faid Pass,
the key to German north-south COM
munic atoms.
In the northern mountains west of
Axis-held Bizerte heavy Nazi at
tacks had bent the British lines
back. The Allied air arm remained
dominant over North Africa, how
ever, and in the Mediterranean,
sharp enemy losses to British SUBJ
marines were reported. Seven Axis
ships were sunk and nine others
damaged.

RUSSIANS:
Repedt Old History

Back over the snowy Russian
steppes where Napoleon's army per-
ished long ago reeled the retreating
German 1egions.
While the collapse of Nazi resist
ance at Rzhev had been of high i'm
mediate strategic importance to the
Red command it was prophetic OF
further Nazi reverses, for with the
whole German salient west of Mos
cow unhinged, the fate of Orel and
Vyazma to the east virtually sealed.
The rapidly of the Russian adj
vance was indicated by the capture
soon afterward of Olenino IS miles
west of Rzhev giving control of the
railway running from Moscow to We
LIKE Luki.
While German spokesman de-
scribed the Rzhev defeat as a stra-
tegic withdrawal to shorten Nazi
lines, Allied military observers saw
in it a threat to all Axis defenses
from Smolensk to the Baltic sea.
In the South the Russians had
moved forward more slowly, imped-
ed by the first thaws of oncoming
spring. But Red forces were re-
ported driving forward from recap
tured Lgov, important railroad CEN
ter west of Kursk and other Soviet
successes were reported west of
Rostov where the offensive had car
ried through several fortified enemy
positions fronting Taganrog.

BISMARCK SEA:
Disaster for Japs

Three facts Of major significance
to the future of the war in the Pa
cif1c emerged from the stunning VIC
tory of General MacArthur's bomb
ers over the 22-ship Jap armada in
the Bismarck sea, approaching New
Guinea.
Fact No. l was that in sinking the
q enemy ships and bagging 81
Jap planes, Macarthur airmen
proved that a force of land-based
bombers manned by skilled pilots
Is more than a match for a sea-
borne invasion force. Fact No. z
was that the victory removed the
danger of invasion to the Australian
mainland for the time being at
least. Fact No. was that the
enemy garrisons at Lac and Sala-
maua, New Guinea, would not nowbe
reinforced, for it was estimated that
$4,000 Jap troops persisted when
Yankee bombs sank their transports.
Military observers believed that
one of the immediate results of the
Jap disaster would be an increase
in pressure by General MacAr-
thurs armies besieging Lac and Sal
amaua with the object of driving the
Japs entirely from New Guinea.
The clean-sweep character of the
American triumph was summarized
in General MacArthur's terse COM
rnunique: "We have achieved VIC
tory of such completeness as to as
sumo the proportions Of major dis
aster to the enemy"

any new pipeline construction should
be instead, from the Middle West to
the East Coast shortage area. This
will be in addition to the recently
completed 24-inch line.
Mr.. Ickes assured the Middle West
senators in testimony before a COM
mittee in Washington that he. also
hopes to complete a 20-inch pipeline
from the Midwest to the East coast
this year.
Meanwhile, he insisted, building
the western end Of the second pipe
line first would speed the job and
increase deliveries to the East coast
Of from 10000 to 100000 barrels
during the most critical period of
the shortage. This would provide
the most effective method.

CANADA
3 Billion for Var

How Canada has been stepping up
it's war tempo was revealed by FL
nance Minister James Ilsley, who
told the dominion parliament that
the fighting forces during 1943-'44
would require $4,000 900, COM
pared with $1,913, 900, 900 in 1942-'43.
Largest increase was in the air
force with an anticipated outlay of
81, 1923, 000,0 900, compared with $627,-
100000 in the fiscal year ending
March 81. This increase, Mr.. lis

First step in the program was a
U. S. government proposal in note
dispatched by Secretary Of State
Hull to the British government, that
a conference be held at Ottawa,
Canada. to study the problem of
refugees from Nazi-occupied Eu-
rope.
Mr.. Hull suggested that the meet
ing between representative of the
two governments be held for pre-
liminary exploration of the problem
not only of getting refugees from
Axis persecution out of Europe, but
Of arranging for maintenance Of
some of them in neutral countries
on that continent.
Since Hitler's assumption Of pow
err in 1888, 547,775 visas were is
sued by the United States to natives
of various countries now dominated
by the Axis, most Of whom were
refugees from Nazi persecution, Mr..

BLACK MARKET:
ActiOn on Meat

Action rather than words was the
keystone Of program sponsored by
the OPA and the department of ag-
riculture to smash the black mar
kets in meat.
First barrage laid down in this
offensive was Price Administrator
Prentiss M. Browns order imposing
specific retail price ceilings on meat,
beginning with pork products. Sec
ond attack came in the announce
ment by Secretary Of Agriculture
Wickard of orders licensing livestock
slaughterers as well as those who
buy and sell livestock for slaughter.
Effective April 1, the meat ceilings
were expected to check black mar
kets and end an unjust squeeze"
on packers. Mr.. Brown said they
would also lay the groundwork for
the start Of meat rationing about
April IS. Pork ceilings were to be
followed by uniform regulations on
beef and lamb.
When red meat rationing is I'M
dertaken, the order will include ba-
con, butter, cheese, lard and other
cooking fats.
With prices uniform throughout
community on all cuts Of meat,
Brown said, it would be difficult for
dealers to get rid Of illicit meat at
higher prices.
