PRELUDE TO INVASION:
Raj Softens Maitland

AS Allied bombers had continued
their unprecedented aerial attack
against western Europe and had
wrought destruction in Berlin out
distancing even the havoc of 1910
Nazi assaults on London, this often
sive appeared to be taking major
place in the overall Allied war plan.
Night after night the bombers had
droned in an ever-rising crescendo
over Berlin. In single attack more
than 900 tons of bombs-twice the
weight of anything ever dropped by
the Nazis on London-plummet
down on Hitler's capital. Returning
f1lers reported mountainous con-
flagrations in Berlin.
At the peak of the bombing at
tacks, Capt. Harold Balfour, British
undersecretary of state for air, said
the Anglo-American lair offensive
was preparing the day for our
united forces to invade Europe"
II look forward to the time when
there will be no hour of the day or
night when the Axis can rest from
the swoop of Allied aircraft" he
said. "In the long view, the pres
ent raids are but the opening bars
which will rise to the crescendo of
a march on Europe"

JAPS PERSISTENT:
In South Pacific

The South Pacific had returned
dramatically to the fore when the
news was disclosed that the Japa-
nese had marshaled great forces in
their island bases north of Austria
liza.
The approach of powerful Japa-
nese convoy of IA vessels toward
New Guinea under the protection of
foggy weather, had lent weight to a
previous warning by Gen. Douglas
Macarthur that the enemy had been
concentrating huge quantities of
planes, shipping and men in their
far-fung island strongholds ringing
Australia on the north.
Allied warplanes were on the alert
and in the decisive action that fol-
lowed, they sank or damaged four of
the enemy ships and scattered the
rest of the convoy over wide area.
Among the Jap casualties were one
10000 ton transport left sinking, an
other transport split asunder, two
other vessels damaged and escort
ing warships hit.
This latest Jap offensive bid was
apparently aimed to reinforce en-
envy forces in the Lac area of New
Guinea.

TUNISIA:
A1is Tries Diversion

AS American pressure was inten.
sified on Marshal Rommels retreat
from the Kasserine Pass region, 9th.
er Axis forces had headed an attack
toward Beja, 40 miles west of Tunis,
in an effort to create a diversion
and remove Allied attention from
Rommel. The British, against whom
this drive was launched, had sue
cessfully held the Germans off and
the Axis attacks lost their momen-
tum.
Meanwhile, the Allied forces ad-
vance in central Tunisia continued
with the capture of Sbeitla, 10 miles
from the town of Kasserine. In the
far south, too, war bulletins said,
the British eighth army under Gen.
Sir Bernard Montgomery had at
tackled detectives on the Mareth line.
AS the Allied air strength in North
Africa had continued to grow, bomb
ing raids against enemy positions
gained in momentum. Widespread
activity included raids on Palermo,
Sicily, western terminus of the Axis
supply route shutting men and mu-
nitions to North Africa. The air as
saults were likewise concentrated on
the docks at the Axis naval base of
Bizerte and on railroad bridges be-
tween SfaX and SouSse.

RUSSIAN FRONT:
'Follo,v the Weather

Although the thaws of spring had
slowed down their offensive in the
south, the doughty Russians were
still on the march in the northwest.
Into the headlines once more came
Marshal Timoshenko, ace Russian
commander, for his armies on the
move between Moscow and Lenin-
grad had recaptured 1902 towns and
settlements, freed 1000 square miles
of territory and had menaced Ger
man positions by the seizure of key
points near Staraya Russo. The
Reds had killed or captured II 1000
Nazis.
The timing of this newest often
sive-the eighth launched by the
Russians since last November-in-
Dictated the persistent character of
the Russian strategy. Summed up
it meant this: Shift the center of
operations to follow the weather. If
it thaws in the south, then attack
in the north. But do not permit the
Nazis a breathing-spell anywhere.
In the Donets basin the Nazi
forces had retained the initiative in
their counteroffensive. Moscow had
admitted some local German sue
cesses, but had not confirmed a Nazi
claim of the recapture of Barven-
kiva, 81 miles southeast of Kharkov
on the Kiev railway.

RATIONINC PICTURE:
Regulations Expanding

AS Mrs. Average Housewife got
used to buying her canned goods on
point rationing basis, survey of
the rationing picture asa whole re-
vealed the following regulations in
force:
Coffee - one pound every six
weeks; sugar-fve pounds every II
weeks; shoes-one pair between now
and June II, obtainable with Stamp
No. II in War Ration Book No. /;
Tires-still closely rationed, but re-
caps obtainable; gasoline-all pleas
ure driving banned in II eastern
states and the District of Columbia.
A, B and C coupons worth three
gallons weekly in the eastern area,
four gallons in the rest of the ma
ton; fuel oil-Period coupons valid
until about April IL.
Imminent on the ration schedule
were meat and butter. Restrictions
on clothing expected by many au-
thorities before summer.

PAY-AS-YOU-CO PLAN:
Would Withhold 2OT

The new pay-as-you-go tax pro-
gram was not the Ruml plan nor
the proposal advanced by the treas
ury department. Somewhere be-
tween both, the new congressional
plan would withhold 20 per cent of
taxable income from the pay en-
velopes of the nations 100000
wage and salary earners beginning
July l.
Sponsored by Chairman Cooper of
the house ways and means commit
tees subcommittee on pay-as-you-go
taxation, the plan would provide for
weekly, semi-monthly or monthly
deductions from income which
would be accumulated and applied
to actual taxes computed at the
years end.
The proposed withholding levy
would not change any persons tax
obligations for 1912, 1913 or any year.
1t merely sets up system for de-
auctions from wages and salaries
for accumulation against actual
taxes to be computed at the end of
the year. Taxpayers who paid their
first installments March IS would be
expected to pay their second INSTALL
ment as usual June IS. Then in
July, the Withholding provision would
be undertaken,

ANTI-JAP OFFENSIVE:
Prospects Are Bright

From both sides of the Pacific
came indications that more effective
American offensive action against
the Japs was drawing nearer.
In China Brig. Gen. Claire l..
Chennault declared that the pros
poets "are definitely brighter" for
carrying the war to Japan, adding
that the Allies can defeat the Nip
ponese in comparatively short
time when they turn their whole eff
fort into the Pacific, and there is
an outside chance the job can be
finished this year"
Emphasizing the possibility of
eliminating Japan this year, the
blunt-spoken Chennault added: IT
think there are some men in high
position who already realize this"
In Washington, Adm. Chester W.
Nimitz, commander of the Pacific
fleet, said the navy was ready to
start drive toward the industrial
heart of Japan.

FARM WORKERS:
Senators Vote Deferment

Forecasting deferment of farm
workers from military service for
the remainder of this year, the SEN
ate military affairs committee had
voted approval of a measure ex-
empting such workers from the draft.
Viewed as stop-gap to relieve
the current farm labor and food
shortage, the committees action
took the form of proposed amend
ment to the Selective Service act.
The amendment provides that "ev-
cry registrant engaged in an agri-
cultural occupation shall be de-
ferred from training and service"
under the Selective Service act, and
that mo such registrant shall leave
such occupation" without special
permission from his local board.

MANPOWER:
Services Need 100000

Upwards of 100000 Americans
may have to don uniforms before
the war is over in order to main
tain an armed force of 10000
congress was told by Col. Lewis
Sanders, chief of the unemployment
division of the selective service.
The 100000 loss in manpower,
: he said, could be charged up to nor
NAL attrition, exclusive of battle
casualties. In explaining his para
doxical set-up, Colonel Sanders'said:
"You would put into one picture
an armed force of 100000 and
then 1000, 900 men to replace the at
triton of that armed force. In 9TH
er words, it looks as if you have
10000, 900 men in service, but you
don't. You always have 100000. "

ways beside him. His mother writes
her, too, and thanks her for her
wonderful goodness to her boy.
Joey hasn't had much happiness
in his life, because of responsibility
for me and for his sister," the moth
er writes. "But now Margaret is
married, and I am so much better,
and it rejoices all our hearts to think
of the joy that has come to the best
son and brother in the world"
Girl Meets Preferred Boy.
The trouble is that Vera has met
David, and David is everything that
young girl dreams. He is 80 to
Joey's "a; he is in uniform, stationed
in Washington, marked for a dis
tinguished career.
Il went up to stay with my cousin
in Baltimore" writes Vera, land at
a service dance met David. He is
everythlng-EVERYTHING. Hand
some, quiet, authoritative, with a
wonderful social position, and rich.
When I told him about Joey, and
my engagement, l couldn't make
things quite as definite as they were,
and as result David talks of Joey's
feeling for me as if it we're not very
serious, and of mine toward Joey as
if it were all girls kindness in a
time that is emotional for us all.
So that am really in bad predica-
ment, for naturally I am afraid of
losing David if things hang fire too
long, and cannot think now of mar
rying Joey without shudder. For
what I feel for him now I see is
merely affection and sympathy.
Sometimes of late, lying awake and
worrying for the first time in my
life, have felt that it would be al
most the best solution to hear that
something had happened to Joey, for
anything is better than breaking his
heart, and yet I feel that I have to
be honest with myself and David,
too"
1t is perhaps quite obvious that
Vera is a shallow little creature,
quite carried away by the excite
ment of having two handsome uni
formed beaus in few short months.
And it is also obvious that Joey is
to be congratulated if he faces the
humiliation and disappointment that
Vera's treatment will cause him,
and waits to find worthier woman.
Girl Insure of Feelings.
But at the same time, young girls
are often carried by wartime
changes and thrills, into what seems
a very real feeling, land it is not
their fault that the feeling does not
last. Years ago, it used to be
against the gallant sailors and SOL
diers who loved and kissed and went
away that girls were warned. But
now the warning should 60 both
ways, and the youngsters who in
dulge in these firtations ought to
be willing to leave them at Irritation
status. My advice to Vera, which
she. will not follow, is to wait until
Joey comes back again, and then
have a talk with him, give him back
the plain little ring that cost him
months pay, and explain that she
was too young to be sure of her feel
ings, last June, and wants to wait
for awhile before she marries any
one.
