ASSASSINS FLEE
The assassins were believed to
have escaped on bicycles after
exhausting their ammunition in
firing on Deat's home at Ar
bouse in Nievre department. AS
result of the attempt-the
third im4ess than two years on
his life-Deat has decided to
keep a constant bodyguard of II
persons with him, the Madrid
dispatch said.
Two more open attacks by
French patriots on German
armed forces in Paris were re-
ported by the Rome radio, which
claimed, however, that both
failed. The broadcast said a
bomb exploded in the hands of
a terrorist before he could throw
it at a passing automobile full of
German sailors, while in an
other section a bomb hurled at a
German patrol killed passersby
but did not harm the soldiers.
In Brest, according to the
Dakar radio, hand grenades ex-
ploded in a movie theater just as
Adolf Hitler's pictures appeared
on the screen. Two German SOL
diers we're reported to have
been killed and others injured.
French sources in London ex-
pressed concern over the re-
ports of wholesale arrests in
France. They recalled a fight
ing French spokesman's COM
ment earlier this week that the
Germans may resort to shooting
hostages by the score as q final
means of wiping out resistance
to Axis rule.

All the Kings
Men to Wear
BQffLedress

LONDON, March 12-U.H-
The kings personal men servants
at Buckingham palace, who nor
mally wear fancy blue or red
and gold livery, were wearing
rk-blue clothes cut in the SIM
pie style of the British fighting
man today.
The change resulted from a
suggestion of the King, who saw
a great waste of starch and cloth
in the stiff shirt-fronts and in
Vulnerable frills of the Royal
livery. Only the brass buttons,
bearing the crown were retain
ed.
Royal household officials esti-
mated that several pounds of
soap, starch. and other washing
materials will be saved each
week by the new dress, in addi-
ton to the cloth.
Hugh Dalton, president of the
Board of Trade, announcing a
general tightening of clothing
economies, said Spring is just
around the corner but so are
Nazi U-boats, and all British
residents must dress accordingly.
The fashionable man in l943
will be the one who wears old
clothes, he said last night in a
speech, while Ito be out of fash
ion is to buy those clotes we do
not need"
Dalton said 1913 was to be the
year in which the United Ma
tons invade the continent, and
he warned: THE U-boat is still
at our door. The battle of the
Atlantic is not yet won. There
fore, l urge all to only buy when
they must and then buy wisely"
The Board of Trade announc-
ed that clothing ration points
must be made to last till the end
of August, instead of the end of
July as originally intended.

Japan Ignores
Aid 10 Russia
Tokyo Pretends
Blindness on Troffic
BY ARTHUR F. DEGREVE

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March IL -
(UP)- Japan is permitting lend
lease shipments from the west
coast, intended for use against
her Axis partner, Germany, to
move in Russian ships unmo-
Tested across the Pacific and past
her backdoor into Russia, it was
disclosed today.
The revelation came in map
accompanying the eighth quar-
terly report to Congress on lend
lease operations for the period
ended March IL, 1943. The map
contained curved line indicat-
ing the relative quantities of
lend-lease goods shipped and the
country of destination.
One of the lines curved across
the Pacific, from a starting point
which appeared to be in the re-
gion of San Francisco, to a port
on the Siberian coast Of Russia.
NOT EXACT ROUTES
A footnote on the map said
that the lines do not show the
exact shipping routes nor the
location of ports But lend
lease officials confirmed that
war shipments long have been
moving across the Pacific to
Russia.
The war cargoes are moved
in Russian ships and, one au-
thority said, thus far have been
limited largely TO food. The size
of the shipments, it was stated,
are restricted only by the num-
Der of Russian ships available.
Officials confirmed that the
shipments were moving across
the Pacific with full knowledge
of Japan. This, it was emphasiz-
ed, is due to Japans desire to
do nothing which would in
+ lge on her treaty of non-ag-
erosion with Russia.
SEE NO MOLESTATION
Foreign exper said that
lend-lease shipments probably
would continue to move unmo-
Tested across Japan's back door,
despite protests from Germany
which they considered probably
already had been made.
Lend-lease officials today de-
clineC to disclose the size of the
shipments. 1t was understood
that some airplanes have been
included in carg IS.
/. The report to Congress did
not go into this phase of the
Russian aid program. 1t said
that the volume of aid to Rus
STA is increasing and that in
February shipments were 80
per cent higher than the month
before.
Lend-lease shipments to the
Soviet Union 60 via three routes
over the North Atlantic to
Murmansk on the A cite Ocean;
over the South Atlantic and the
Indian Ocean TO Iraq and thence
by land and the Caspic Sea to
South Russia; over the Pacific
to Siberia.
A footnote to the 'end-lease
map said that the lines indi-
cate the relative quantity Of
goods shipped. The lines to
Murmansk and around Africa
TO the south of Russia are about
equal. But the line to Siberia
is only slightly smaller, indi-
eating that nearly one-third of
all lend-lease goods shipped 10
the Soviet Union has been going
over the Pacific Far East route.

His views were echoed In
part by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt,
who did not name Russia but
said 1.-The rest of the United Ma
tions might 60 ahead with their
peace plans without US" unless
we begin talking their lang
uage.'
Bullitt declared that Isolation
means war;" and then said:
I'VE have to face the fact that
international negotiations are
controlled by national interests
or imagined national interests.
When a foreign government will
not move in the direction in
which we want it to move, there
is only one way to make it
move.
That is the old way of getting
a donkey TO move by holding .
carrot in front of his nose and
a club behind his tail, and in
timating politely that he can
have either one he wants. And
the carrot has to be a real car
rot, and the club a real club.
At the present time we have
a real carrot and a real club.
Our power is comparable to Will
sons power in the summer of
1918. But the day Germany
collapSes. we shall have still on
our hands war with Japan.
And the Soviet Union will be
at peace, and we shall want
Soviet support against Japan.
Under these circumstances
we are likely to find ourselves
as impotent as Wilson was in the
Spring Of 1919. The real carrot
and the real club will be In
Stains hands"
He appended, 1--WE have our
power now, and while we have
it, we must use it, or lose the
peace.
Mrs. Roosevelt said she had
only one worry about the peace:
If we don't realize what the
people of the other United Ma
tons are thinking and looking
forward to- refer to the spir-
itual viewpoint-we may find
they will say, We don't talk
your language.

Cards on the Table

Evidence piles up to indicate that there not only is determined effort being made in this country to make the gov ernment supreme in the lives and affairs of every individual, but that there has long been a definitely worked out pro- gram to accomplish that end
 We have seen the electric power indus try dominated by deliberate program to Socialize it. We have seen the credit and banking machinery of the nation slowly but surely dominated by central ized authority. We have seen the oWn- CTS of coal mines jockeyed out of con- trol and operation of their properties. We see definite evidence of an attempt to have the government step into the field of oil production, in spite of the record service rendered by the American oil in- dustry. And now there are warnings that American railroads may be used as springboard for a vast postwar program of socialized public works.
 The foregoing "softening up" of private enterprise all ties in with the cleverly prepared program of the National Re- sources Planning Board. It has been repeatedly pointed out in the press and in Congress that many officials on our pub lie payrolls are working for, or directing the boards and bureaus that have been planning a program of state socialism as another emergency" project when this war is over It is no exaggeration to say that the day is rapidly approaching when we must decide whether we want to re- main free citizens or travel the road ot overnment-dominated serfs.
 That the danger to free enterprise is recognized, is indicated by recent news reports from Cincinnati, where Wilfred Sykes, president of the Inland Steel Com pany of Chicago, in public address said that industry must ask the two major political parties to proclaim whether they are for free enterprise or against it. MT. Sykes might have said, whether they are for free citizens or against them, because there can be no free citizens without free enterprise. You are no longer free man when you are dependent on government for your daily job, your shelter or your bread and butter.

V-Mail Campaign

The government is currently engaged in what should be the easiest selling cam- paign in the world. It is trying to per- suade all correspondents of fighting men overseas to send their letters by V-mail. Most of us probably know already the great saving of shipping space the V-mail achieves-space that is being filled by food and medicine and guns and muni- tions. But those who have not used w. mail may not realize the many advan- tages it offers.
 In the first place, it gives the greatest assurance of delivery. Original letters are kept at the port of embarkation. If ship or plane carrying the microfilm copies of these letters is destroyed, duplicate film is made and forwarded immediately w. mail also saves the user time, for it has priority over all mail except official dis patches. And it costs no more than or dinary postage.
 Many people are using V-mail already; the 100 millionth letter was handled some weeks ago. But the government would like more business. This is the reason: If all overseas mail were sent in V-mail form, it would have the effect of freeing 25 Liberty ships for fulltime service in carrying vital cargo.

Getting a Job

This is the strange but unfortunately not unique story of a woman who wanted to work, and war industry that needed ner services. They got together at long last, in spite of government regulations. The young lady is the wife of a soldier She was employed by a war industry, and had arranged the time of her vaca- tion when she learned suddenly that her husband was coming home on furlough probably his last before leaving for overseas fighting service. She asked to have her vacation advanced so it could be spent with her husband. The request was refused
 "I'm taking it then, anyway" she warned, and her employer retorted: "If you do, you're fired" She did take the time off, spent it with her husband, and when she returned to the plant she found that she was discharged. So she went to another large war plant where she found an opening. But under government reg ulations, the employer who needed her services could not offer her a job until she obtained a release from the employer who had discharged her.
 The employer who had discharged her was spiteful enough to refuse to give her a release And the government agency to W41C4l oI1c dPpcdlcU COIllQ IlOC lSSuc IcI d statement of availability until her former employer confirmed the discharge. One employer didn't want her because she was so human as to wish to spend her hus- bands last furlough with him instead of taking her vacation alone a few weeks later, after hubby had started for Italy, France, Australia, Burma or some other equally unhealthy spot The other employer did want her. But neither could do anything about it, because of regula- tions designed to assure that war indus tries shall obtain all the manpoWer that can possibly be made available to them.
 Meanwhile the wife of soldier, depend ent for her living upon what she can earn while her husband fights for the Ameri- can way of life, couldn't get a chance to earn anything. The vicious circle was broken and the young woman got her job only after, having gone from one office of the government agency to another, she found an administrator with imagination enough to cut some corners If the situa- tion had been left to the red tape that con- trolled most of the subordinates who deal with such cases, nothing ever would have happened. If the moral isn't evident, then the story has not been told properly.

ICKES VS, DUDLEY

Harold Ickes' PAW Petroleum Administration for War) has at tempted to deal a cruel blow to fuel oil users in New Britain, whom Mayor Quigley hopes to protect against freezing or uncomfortable days next winter by entering into contract with the Rackliffe Oil company to store kerosene and fuel oil for this city's emergency use.
 That's an entirely too individual istic way for a ctiy to protect itself, In the view of Ickes' department; so he has ordered" the Mayor and the oil contractor to cease and desist and spread the oil elsewhere,
 Which Is just another evidence of bureaucracy running wild, The PAW has nothing to go by except it's own rules, which in this case are of du- bious legality, have never been authorized by congressional action, have never been tested in court, and find a good many people reluctantly accepting them because of the war,
 But the war is no reason whatso- ever wh" any bureaucratic gentle- men suffering from delusions Of grandeur and make believe power should be permitted to injure public morale and the war effort through out a city Of such importance as a

Reckless Driving

At the present time reckless driving is very prevalent. There is less driving but those that are using their cars for legitimate purposes are driving with a very small degree of intelligence. It is hard to say why this is so, It woulc seem that those that are granted this special privilege would drive with caution and not in mad fashion, blowing horns needlessly and going at a prohibitiye speed through residential sections,
 There are certain streets in our city, as we have said before, that are travelled by cars in the early morning hours and ct night, and the speed is easily fifty miles if not higher an hour, This is ridiculous and unnecessary, There seems to be little or no check up of cars leaving the city and coming into the city in these residential areas, Those who have the privilege of driving to work in nars should not abuse it, At least they have the use of their cars and do not have to travel by slow stages in the tnsses.
