Meat, Butter, Cheese .

So 1t goes. Come April l these products
along with fats, canned fish and SO on,
will be rationed. Meat allowance per
person per week is two and one-quarter
pounds. A family of several fares pretty
well, but the family of one is in the dog
house, SO to speak. Already the impa-
tent buzzing has started, but all knew
1t was coming. With this new order of
things comes luckily an easing up on
dried legumes.
The meat rationing viii not be too
bad except in the case of a one person
family. Most people are ready and will
ing to use the substitutes that the COM
posers Of tricky menus and the nutrition
lists suggest. For some time now the
happy Tor is 1t unhappy housewife has
been reading food columns that tell you
exciting things to do with dried limas
and other beans, livers, kidneys, hearts,
sweetbreads and the many, many substi-
tutes that one may prepare and serve
In place Of beef, lamb, pork and so on.
But try to get these delightful substi-
tutes, says the housewife.
The pause that refreshes, in the words
Of your nightly commentator, brought
the good news Thursday night OF the
meat, butter, cheese and canned fish era.
The crescendo that will first mark the
new theme will subside to a diminuendo
before you know 1t. All will slip into the
groove nicely and await the next edict
from the Office of Price Administration
which Is doing Its best, there Is no doubt,
to carry on and carry out program OF
long study.

Manpower Bill Approved

The Austin Wadsworth manpower draft
proposal has met with overwhelming ap-
proval in general, Notwithstanding some
noteworthy objections The approval has
been neither regional nor partisan. Con-
gresham Wadsworth'S long devotion to
the selective service principal, and Sena-
tor AuStin's co-operativeness with the
White House IN all war measures, per-
hapS helped to avoid the artificial in
lection Of party angles. Moreover, there
Is reason to believe that President Roose-
welt Is not unfriendly to the measure, and
may even be actively favorable. This
inference could be drawn, among other
sources, from the formal approval given
BY Secretary Of War Stimson, who would
not be expected to 60 overheard for bill
opposed by the President. "A total mob
tlization Of our man and womanpower
. Is essential TO win the war;" Secretary
Stimson wrote to Chairman Reynolds OF
the Senate Committee on Military Al
fairs. "Only through comprehensive
legislation, such as s. 666, to place on
everyone the equal obligation to serve in
the war effort can total mobilization
be achieved"

Congress to act. But there Is another
argument of almost equal weight. The
sole compulsion now available to the
administration arises through perversion
OF the military draft. Selective service,
designed merely to see that the burden
Of actual soldiery shall fall fairly and
impartially upon all eligible men in the
nation, Is being used as club for vari-
ETY. Of purposes.
It Is getting so bad that soon parents,
instead Of invoking the DOGGY man or
that devil Hitler, will begin warning their
children: EAT your spinach, now, and
drink your milk, or I'll have the draft
board classify you la" It is hard to
blame Selective Service for permitting its
broad powers to be used for desirable pur-
poses, in the absence of other sanctions.
But that sort of thing is undermining
public confidence in the one quality with
out which military draft cannot survive
In democracy - the quantity of utter
impartiality. Let's have a congressional
declaration, and keep the draft clean
and pure.

STAY ON THE JOB
New York Tines

There are at least two approaches
to the serious problem Of absentee
ism in war production plants on
which management and labor can
cooperate even before recourse to
legislation. Both appeal to the pat
riotism Of war workers. One holds
out the incentive Of recognition for
services faithfully performed. 1t
has been advocated In the form of
service bar pins by Henry ]. Kali
ser and L. A. Swirbul, general man.
ager Of the Grammar aircraft plant
before the Truman committee
Awards Of pins by individual COM
paI1ies for production by depart
ments have In some instances prov
ed effective. This is notably the case
in the Work-to-Win program OF the
Packard Motor Car Company. The
incentive approach Is also under
trial now by the Consolidated Air.
craft Company at San Diego.
The other approach Is that OF
bringing home to the absentee en-
ploye by every available means the
results that may cnsue for our
troops because he was on the job
unnecessarily. The force Of such a
campaign grows with the ever-in-
creasing inroads Of the armed
forces into the civilian population.
With every passing week more war
workers have sons and brothers,
husbands and sweethearts in uni
form, and @ large proportion OF
those In uniform directly In the
face of the enemy. To shirk the Job
means to fail these men. 1t Is not
In the nature Of American workers

NORTH AFRICAN BOMBING
Military experts In Washington
are now forecasting privately that
Rommel's Afrika Corps will receive
the coup de grace not from the
American Flying Fortresses. Their
targets will be Axis chipping. 20.
Already Axis supply lines from
Sicily to Tunisia are losing one
ship out Of every three, with the
daylight precision bombing Of
American planes doing most OF
the damage. Soon the drying
from fields closer to this line Of
ground will permit operation

RIGHT ON THE NOSE

RIGHT ON THE NOSE
Two instances Of precision
bombing have won amazed admir-
alton here. One was a strike on
an Axis ammunition ship In the
harbor Of Tripoli before Rommel
evacuated. From an altitude Of
23,400 feet, q bomb struck the
ship squarely, blew 1t to pieces.
and even destroyed the dock and
two lighters alongside.
Another instance was all attack
on Bizerte, In northern Tunisia,
In which o U. s. plane landed a
bomb on q tiny tongue Of land on
which were important Axis install
lations.
Rommel fears air attack, and II
was this fear which In part
prompted his recent drive against
American forces In the Kas-
serine area. He was able to take
three landing fields we had been
using, and before withdrawing, he
plowed them UP. Now they have
been retaken, and are being re-
conditioned.
The time will come when U. 8.
planes will fill the air over the
Tunisian coast and prevent de-
livery Of any supplies. That should
be the end Of the Germans in
North Africa.

On Friday, March IL, 1888, gigantic
storm, Familiarity known as the blizzard
of '88, began. Late in the day folks hur-
ried home from work; some got caught
downtown in this city and that. and
were not able to get home that day. The
blizzard ragged for couple OF days and
it took week to dig out In most places.
The present generation listens patiently
each year while the old folks tell about
unbelievable experiences. Yesterday
New York paper carried pictures, one OF
Madison avenue that looked like movie
set but not like Madison avenue. Also
pictured was tunnel in the snow at Miss
Porter's school in Pennington. We have
had a few good limitations in the years
that followed but never anything that
compares with the blizzard of '88.

Postwar reconstruction, as is contin-
ually pointed out, leads in the topics OF
the day. Broad and ambitious programs
have been and are being outlined.
Never before has every individual
felt such a vital interest; per-
haps because other reconstruction per-
iods have not been all that they should.
Along with the national program the
National Catholic Welfare Conference in
Washington, D. c., is establishing war
relief services in the interests OF postwar
reconstruction as well as assisting post
war Europe. Right Rev. Bryan J. NC
Entegart, associated with Catholic chart
ties in New York for more than twenty
years has been chosen to head an Amerl-
can agency to aid postwar Europe. An

LABOR FOR FARMS
(Hartford Times


The new draft deferment order Is
designed to keep essential workers
on the farms and to encourage men
Of military age who are engaged in
non-essential work to enter upon
farm work. or. II they left the farms
to do unessential work in town, TO
return TO the farms.
Secretary Wickards forecasts OF
greater demand for farm products
than can be produced with the sup
ply Of labor In sight. together with
demand from farm state Congress-
men for deferment of farm labor,
has brought about the new orders.
Not long ago the President author
lied the use Of troops to pick cotton
In Arizona, but. for reasons not yet
made public. the Army did not send
the men into the fields. This was
at least q gesture Of cooperation
from the military authorities. Now
the Selective Service makes another.
