RUSSIA:
Front Afan,e

On the offensive for the first sum-
mer in three years, the Red army
hacked at German lines along much
of the vast 1900 mile front.
The main drive remained direct
ed at the Nazi salient of Orel, with
Russian forces bearing down upon
that hub from north and south. A
junction of the two spearheads be-
hind Orel would seal off thousands
of German troops now fighting
around the city and also sever the
railroad from Bryansk carrying sup
plies to the embattled base.
While fighting ragged around Orel,
the Reds pressed home three other
attacks. Preceded by heavy artil-
lery and air bombardment, they
assaulted Nazi lines below Lenin-
grad, near Smolensk and around the
German Caucasian base of Novoros-
sisk, where they had been beaten off
this spring.

LABOR:
Wants Cheaper Food

Declaring "profiteers and specula-
tors are sapping the strength of the
nations army of workers." William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, said that un-
less prices of food were brought
down 'to a reasonable level" or
ganized labor would demand wage
increases.
At present, wage increases have
been restricted to Is per cent over
the January, 1941, scales. Leveling
his attack on food, Green said that
ALL surveys in principal cities had
shown costs in labor's market bas-
ket had risen from so to 200 per
cent since the war started.
Criticizing the Office of Price Ad-
ministration and War Food admin
istration for failing to halt the in
crease in food prices, Green de-
manded Intelligent and orderly &C.
ton to assure workers and their
families of decent place to live in
and enough nourishing food to eat
within their incomes"
Green's statement followed one by
CLIO chieftain William Murray, who
similarly threatened that organized
labor would seek wage increases
unless food prices were rolled back.
The administration is committed to
a roll-back program.

Because the war in the Pacific
must be fought over great distances
and bases must be built from the
ground up, Vice Admiral Frederick
]. Horne, assistant chief of naval
operations, declared the navy was
figuring on at least six years of fight
ing.
Horne cautioned against optimism
that the war would be over in a
hurry, asserting that every slight
success fills the people with unwar-
ranted hope and invariably results
in drop of war production. To de-
feat Japan, he said, we will need a
fleet and air force twice as big as
the enemy's, and he claimed that
the present building program will
bring a seven-fold expansion in our
navy by 1947.
Neither should we look for a COL
lapse in Germany such as occurred
during the last war, Horne said.

ROME:
Raid MOmentOus

One of the greatest stirs of the
war was caused by the Allied bomb
ing of Rome. Both here and abroad,
no effort was made to minimize
the import of the action.
The Allies maintain that Rome
constitutes a legitimate military OBJ
jective, as best illustrated by the
railway yards through which all
north and south bound traffic in Italy
is routed. Demolition of these yards,
the Allies say, would severely Grip
pie Axis communication on the
mainland.
Besides the important railway
yards, Rome also harbors other in
dustrial installations, it is pointed
out. In the raid in which 500 Amer
lean Flying Fortresses participated,
the Allies said steel plant and a
large chemical works were dam
aged.
The Italian governments belief
that Rome would not be bombed
because of the cultural and religious
landmarks which abound throughout
the entire area, was indicated by
the lack of strong preparation made
against attack. Anti-aircraft fire
was weak, few planes rose to inter-
cept the Allied squadrons and 166
persons were killed and 1859 in
jured.

HOGS:
Ceiling STATS

With a floor" or minimum price
of S13.75 per hundred pounds prom
ised for hogs, the government es-
tablished ceiling" or maximum
price of STATS. At the same time
the floor" was extended to all pork
ers between 200 and 27O pounds.
Despite the governments promise,
however, hogs were selling for less
than the floor" in some big mar
kets. In the Chicago yards, heavy
runs recently drove the average
price down to $13.35, with tops aver
aging S13.85 and others bringing
$1285.
Overhauling its present system OF
slaughter control to provide for
record receipts, the government an
nounced that packers will be IL
censed to operate if they pay not
less than the floor" nor more than
the "ceiling" price for hogs, and if
they make appropriate division OF
meat supplies among civilian, mill
tary and lend-lease groups.
1t was also revealed that the gov
eminent intended to extend federal
inspection to plants now without the
facilities. Under present regula-
tons, the government cannot pur-
chase meat from any packers with
out such inspection. The new ar
rangement promises a more equit-
able distribution of meat in the coun-

FOOD:
Maintain Meat Ration

maintenance OF the present meat
ration at "about the present leveP
was predicted by the War Food adj
ministration following the ALLEGATION
Of estimated supplies among civil
ians, the services and other users
for the next IL months.
Total allocable meat supplies were
put at 23A billion pounds. Civilians
will receive So out of every 100
pounds produced, the services will
be given II pounds, the Allies will
get IA pounds, and allotments for re-
serves, the Red Cross and exports
will amount to pounds.
OF the total supply of beef expect
ed, civilians will obtain &c out Of
every 100 pounds, and the services
% pounds. Other claimants will get
pounds. OF the pork production,
the civilians share will amount to
SO out of every 100 pounds, the serv-
ices portion will be 1871 pounds,
and lend-lease's allotment will ap-
proximate Is pounds.
Total supplies of lamb and NUT
ton are expected to drop sharply
from the 939 million pounds of 1912
to 500 million. This compares with
the 1859 average of 1863 million
pounds.
Cheese, Butter
Decrease of government pur-
chases through August, September
and October will make available
SGT million pounds of butter and
cheese for civilians, the VIA said.
OF the total, approximately 400 mil
lion pounds will be of butter; 90 mil
lion pounds of cheddar cheese, and
IS million pounds of other cheese.
VIA also announced that plans
were made for about million addi-
tional cases of canned baby foods,
condensed milk, other milk products
and certain canned vegetables and
fruits by an increase in Gamers
tin quotas. However, it was pointed
out that shortage in fruit crops may
Offset the extra tin allotments.
Increased production will allow
civilians 1888 eggs apiece during the
next IL months, VIA said, 10 more
than in 1912.
The Office Of Price Administration
also stepped into the food picture
and announced prices of cabbage
and lettuce will be rolled back Is to
