La segunda gran causa de Ia
Mortalidad Iinfantil, en- orden de-

Brown Resigns as
.OPA Administrator

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. CUP)-
Prentiss M. Brown resigned today
as administrator of the Office of
Price Administration.
Brown submitted his resignation
to President Roosevelt in a letter
dated Tuesday, and the president
accepted it today.
Within the next few days Mr..
Roosevelt is expected to nominate
Chester Bowles, general manager
of OPA, as Browns successor.
Brown SAID he thought price con-
troll was now we'll defined and the
main task from now on was largely
administrative.
However, he informed the presi-
dent that the OPA still faced two
major problems:
l. The hotly-contested question
OF continuing food subsidies.
2. Renewal of price control when
the present law expires next year.

Resolution Sans Change

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.
(UP) - The senate foreign
relations committee today
approved without amend
ment a resolution advocat-
ing United States participation in
postwar international machinery
to preserve the peace.
The decision was revealed by Sen.
Henrik shipstead, r.. Mimi, the
first member to emerge from an
hour-long closed session of the full
committee. He said the resolution
drafted by an eight-man sub-com-
mittee after months of deliberation
was approved by majority of the
full committee without a single
change
PUT ON RECORD

Senate on record as recommending
THAT the United States, acting
through its constitutional pro
cesses, join with free and Sovereign
nations in the establishment and
maintenance Of international auth
ority with power to prevent aggres-
sion and to preserve the peace of
the world"
Before the committee met, Sen.
Guy M. Gillette, D., Ia, one of the
trainers of the resolution finally
approved, said proposed amend
ments-which their sponsors said
would make the resolution stronger
and more specific-actually would
restrict, rather than broaden, the
declaration.

ed Nations would rule out nearly
30 other nations whose coopera-
tion in preserving the peace is to
be desired" he said. He listed

Some Japanese

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2I.-UP)
Secretary of War Henry L.
TtimsOn had a reply today for
Americans who believe that all
persons of Japanese descent are
evil--a report on an infantry
battalion of Japanese Americans
that led a veteran division of the
Fifth army into action i'm Italy.
All of the enlisted men and
many of the officers of the Tooth
infantry battalion were born and
brought up i'm Hawaii. Their
parents are Japanese. A report
from Fifth army headquarters,
released by StimsOn said:
"These soldiers are as far
away from the stereotyped pic
ture of the evil-dOing sons of
Japan as the All-American boy is
from a headhunter. It's i'm their
faces. They obviously believe in
what they're doing, and look
calmly secure because of ii. They
are in the habit of enjoying life
like any good American. They
like the world they live in.

they're fighting, with the

CHM EISE WACS
Elders, Govt Approve

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21.-UP)
The Army today completed one
of its most difficult maneuvers by
changing the size of a WAC and
the traditions of a Staid, conserva-
tive race.
Recruiting officers got a brilliant
idea to organize an all-Chinese
WAC unit at San Francisco's
Chinatown, largest in the nation,
but medical examination showed
cute little China dolls were too
small to make the WAC weight min
imum, 100 pounds, or the height re-
quirement, five feet
KNOCK off five pounds and three
inches from the size requirement or
we won't get any Chinese WAC's
the war department at Washing
ton was notified.
DID CARVING
The war department did the
carving, announced the change yes
terday, but warned that the bars
were let down for Chinese girls
only, that all other WACs must be
standard size.
But there was another hurdle:
Chinese girls obey their parents
implicitly and would not think of
joining the army without full ap-
proval. Nor are Chinese elders Civ
en- to hasty decisions.
The matter of little ming toy or
Bessie Fong's joining up was taken
before the Chinese consul general
very tactfully. Then approval was
obtained from various Chinese
societies. Finally, the six compan-
les, or committee of elders, was
called into official session and they
approved last night.

-OPA officials today will decide
whether use of unrationed motor
fuel violates gasoline rationing
regulations.
Dr. w. E. Dixon, city councilman,
was called before the OPA board
to explain motor trip to Okla
homa after equiping his automobile
to use butane motor fuel.
Rationing officers maintained the
gasoline limit was intended to keep
motorists from wearing cat tires
and not necessarily to conserve
gasoline.
Dr. Dixon said his trip was es-
sential and that gasoline rationing
rules could not have been violated
because he used no gasoline.

AS possible indication of things
to come, the official German DNB

Eight divisions = an estimated
10000 men-and hundreds of tanks
charged the German positions
northwest of Chernigov along the

ported
Violent fighting still is going on,
though after several hours the Ger
mans, bolstered by reserves rushed
into the struggle, we're able to
intercept the Soviet attack" the
broadcast said.
FOLLOWS DISPATCH
The Nazi account of the new
Soviet offensive followed a Berlin
dispatch relayed through Stockholm
limiting that the Germans were pull
ing out of the whole vast pocket
formed by the big bend of the
lower Dnieper, to avoid encircle-
ment.
The dispatch quoted German
authorities that the situation north
west of Dnepropetrovsk may with
out exaggeration be described as
particularly grave and is likely
soon to force the Germans to with
draw still farther to the west to
avoid encirclement.' @
Military quarters regarded the
Nazi concession of the Soviet pinch
near Dnepropetrovsk as tacit
admission that the city was getting
too hot to hold and the retreat may
have begun already.
For the second straight day the
Germans poured out a spate OF
gloom-laden reports on the situa-
ton in Russia, where the Dnieper
river defense line was collapSing.
