quarters for Draft Board 14-A. The
headquarters were transferred this
morning from Beebe st. school,
where it has been located since Oct.
81, 1910.
The lease carries a slightly high
er rental charge than the Beebe st.,
school $65 monthly instead Of $50.
The Tuttle house was renovated
several years ago for school pur-
poses. It is expected both the selec-
tive service and the school depart
ment still benefit from the change.
It will mean more central loca-
ton for the draft board as well as
more modern rooms. The school de-
partment will save fuel, light and
other bills, for futile house, which
houses the ration board and the
school superintendent Office has to
be heated anyhow.

4,4O3 NEW SHIPS:
To Help Beat Axis

Funds for the construction of 4, 403
ships for the Maritime commission
were approved when the house ap-
preparations committee reported an
appropriation bill providing $685.
$50, 435.
The current shipbuilding program
to thwart the Axis submarine peril
and provide transoceanic facilities
for men and supplies has been
mapped through 1943, according to
Admiral Emory Land, director of
the Maritime commission. The
schedule called for construction of
2,242 ships of which 554 were deliv-
cred before January l, 1943. In ad-
dition, he said, it was proposed to
extend the program to provide for
2,161 additional ships to be contract
ed for during 1943.

For u. S. Airn1en

Americans learned with pride that
their fighting airmen had destroyed
four enemy planes for every one of
their own knocked out of the skies
in 1912.
An official tabulation covering
complete operations for the last year
showed that army, navy and marine
fliers shot down at least 1857 of
their foes. This total did not include
hundreds of planes listed as prob
ably destroyed.
Aircraft losses by all American
armed services last year totaled 500.
Some of the fiers were shot down
by anti-aircraft fire, others simply
did not return from combat missions
for reasons unknown. A majority of
the 600 losses, however, resulted
from actual combat with enemy air.

AIR OFFENSIVE:
Allies Harass Europe

Although Allied land operation Of
fensives against Hitler-held Europe
were still in the blueprint stage, the
offensive by air continued to gather
momentum.
Wilhelmshaven, the major Nazi
naval base, and Lorient, the vast
Axis submarine base on the French
coast, were repeated targets. The
Raj celebrated its 18th raid on
Wilhelmshaven by bombing key OBJ
jectives without the loss of a single
plane. In one of the raids on Lorient
Allied f1iers dropped more than 1000
tons of explosives.

HITLER BOASTS:
Nazis Not Yet Beaten

Adolf Hitler's absences at key
Nazi party gatherings had caused
speculation as to his health and rea-
sons for remaining under cover. But
wherever he was, his remote-control
message to the German people via a
Munich proclamation was as harsh
and fanatical as If der fuehrer had
delivered 1t personally.
Ominous to the people Of occupied
Europe was Hitler's declaration that
1--WE shall not scruple about foreign
lives when such hard sacrifices are
exacted from our own lives"
Germany's future and the future
of Europe, he said, will be decided
on the Eastern front. He Boosted that
enemies who believed they almost
had Germany down would be ''ter-
ribly disappointed.

ton of our enemies may be-" his

EASTERN FRONT:
Russians Roll On

All along the eastern front the
Russians had continued series of
blasting offensives. Each offensive
was battle unit in itself, but added
to all the others it formed a pattern
that was inexorably moving west
ward across the map toward the
Dnieper river.
Military observers were asking
whether the German defenses on the
Dnieper line were as strong as the
anchors the Axis had lost further
east in the Don and Donets river
basins. If sufficient time had not
been available to strengthen this
secondary line, then the Nazis faced
a crisis more serious than anything
that yet confronted them.
In the upper Ukraine the Red
armies had moved steadily forward
on wide front toward the Moscow
Kiev railway, their offensive based
on triangle formed by recaptured
Sunny, Lebedin and Akhtyrka.
To the south the Germans had
fought violently in an effort to halt
the Russ maneuver for enveloping
the remainder of the Donets basin
from which hundreds of thousands
of Axis forces were seeking to retire
in some semblance of order.

LEND-LEASE:
Congress Is Favorable

It had become increasingly clear
in congressional circles that final
passage of the measure extending
the lend-lease act until July, 1914,
was a foregone conclusion. This was
earlier indicated by the unanimous
action of the house foreign affairs
committee in approving the meas
ure.
The authority Of the original act
by which nearly 10 billion dollars
worth of foodstuffs, guns, airplanes
and supplies have been shipped to
our Allies, will expire June 80.

TUNISIA:
RonpnpeI Pays Dearly

The 50-odd miles that Marshal
Rommel had originally advanced
against American forces in Tunisia
had cost the Desert Fox dearly.
For not only had most of that gain
been lost in retreat, but the Axis
offensive had been converted into
first-class Axis setback, with heavy
casualties.
Pell nell through the Kasserine
pass Rommeps Afrika Korps tank
forces had retreated to the south
west under powerful Allied gun and
aircraft attack. Seasoned observers
termed RommePs maneuver, typ
ical Axis hit-and-run action. The
Axis had found the American forces
overextended and trying to man I'M
tenable positions. The Axis had
struck hard, When the American
high command met this offensive
with more powerful counteroffen-
sive, the Axis ran for cover.
Thus RommePs first major bid to
cut Allied communications lines had
been thWarted.
AS the Allied fortunes in Central
Tunisia thus turned brightly upward,
reports disclosed that General Sir
Bernard Montgomery British
eighth army had been on the move
in North Africa and had struck with
augmented power in southeastern
Tunisia. Smashing with tanks into
the Mareth line, General Montgom-
cry had seriously threatened Rom
mePs rear.
