Record Debt for u. S.
As of Octoher 21 tha Direct Z

AS Of October 81, the direct fed
eral debt of the u. s. stood at
approximately 165 billion dollars.
Broken down, that represents a
debt of S1,203 for every person in
the country or $4,000 per family,
on the basis of four members.
Interest rates have fallen to an
all-time low of less than 2 per
cent, however.
The present debt contrasts with
the one of IS billion which exist
ed before the war, when the in
terest rate averaged 2h per cent.
Following World War I, the pub
lie debt reached 261a billion dol
lars, with over 4 per cent interest.
The present 1855 billion dollar
debt does not include over 4 bill
lion dollars Of government guar
anteed obligations.

Meat Production

Meat production for 1914 will total
"a billion pounds, the Bureau Of Ag-
ricultural Economics reported, but
increased government needs will cut
civilian ALLEGATIONS.
More than So million hogs will be
slaughtered in 1914, the BAE said,
or three million more than this year.
Because Of smaller spring pig crops,
however, next falls marketings
should drop below current levels.
Despite record slaughterings in
1943, cattle on farms should number
about 80 million head January /.
Because Of the feed situation, total
cattle fed should slide below 1943
levels in the corn belt and other
areas, BAE said.
Because of shortage Of ewes and
labor, the 1914 lamb crop should be
one to two million head smaller than
this year, with slaughter also drop
ping. Butchering of sheep at 1913
levels would seriously deplete sup
plies by 1915.

L. Ickes, acting on behalf Of the
government which again took over
the pits when a serious strike
threatened.
Bypassing the War Labor board
which had consented only to wage
increase of $1.12h daily, Lewis and
Ickes worked out formula boosting
the bituminous miners daily take to
$3.50. Under the terms, the work
day would be extended to 81s hours,
with miners compensated for the
average of As minutes of under
ground travel time, but with their
lunch time chopped from 30 to IS
minutes.
Anthracite miners will receive 70
cents more daily, 1913 cents more
by sacrificing Is minutes of their 80
minutes lunch time, and 1922 cents
more as a result Of a previous WLB
award.

ENTERPRISE: A Michigan farm
err, Frank Barron Of Delta county,
had about given up hope of raising
anything on an eight-acre patch that
lay under water until midsummer.
His county agent suggested that
Canadian purple top rutabagas might
mature before frost. Barron sowed
two crops and has harvested five
tons to the acre, worth $40 at $14
a ton.
WAR BONDS: Fewer war bonds
are being sold back to the govern
ment, officials Of the New York Fed
eral Reserve bank say. Redemp-
tons of all series were down about
II per cent in October as compared
with September.
BALLPLAYER: Stan Musial,
Cardinal outfielder, was named the
most valuable player in the Nation
al league by the Baseball Writers
association. Walker Cooper, also of
the Cardinals, was voted second, and
Bill Nicholson Of the Cubs was third.
Musial is batting champion Of his

STOVES: Pottery stoves will ap-
pear on the market soon, according
to release from the War Production
board. A New Jersey company is
planning to market the baked clay
stoves in the spring, complete with
fat-bottomed cooking utensils. The
stove will have two hot plates and
two ovens, and can burn either an
thracite or coke. It will contain only
80 pounds Of metal, In contrast to the
pre-war all-iron stove Of correspond
ing size, which weighed over thou

RUSSIA:
Near Run1ania

AS German forces retreated in the
southern Ukraine, they were only 100
miles from the prewar Rumanian
border, while in the north, they fell
back to within As miles of the old
Latvian boundary.
Krivoi Rog remained the focal
point in the southern Ukraine, with
the Germans fighting bitterly to hold
open an escape corridor for their
troops threatened with enlightenment
in the great bend of the Dnieper
river. With the Germans holding at
Krivoi Rog, it appeared as though
they were successful in moving most
Of their forces from the trap.

HOGS:
Heavy Receipts

With hog shipments flooding pack
ing centers and many slaughterers
reported shifting receipts to less con-
gested yards, there were rumors
that the government may impose a.
permit system to regulate market
ing.
During recent three-day period,
packers received $4,000 hogs, al
most 10000 over the record October
peak of the previous week. With
packers in possession Of from three
to ten days supplies, $50 to 2H'
Founders brought $14.40 in the Chi
cago yards, with weights below 1870
pounds dropping from Is cents to
81 under the $13.75 floor"
Although the government had
worked out a permit system for
marketing last year, 1t did not ap-
ply 1t when heavy runs leveled off.
According to experts, preference
would be given to bigger hogs if the
permit system were to be applied
now.

DUCKS:
off Schedule

This autumn the wild ducks are
badly off schedule, the Chatauqua
National Wild Life Refuge station
Havana, ILL.,, announced. About 20
million birds should have flown over
the state by the first week Of No
vember, but they didn't arrive. 1t is
estimated that 125 million ducks are
heading south from Canadian feed
ing grounds.
The station bands a sample num-
Der Of ducks every year. When a
duck is killed the band Is returned
to the station by the hunter. BY this
means 1t is possible to estimate the
number Of ducks shot annually and
their average life span.

MANPOWER:
Define Essential Industry

At least rs per cent of company's
business must be essential for en-
ployees to be frozen into their jobs
under War Manpower commission
regulations.
In plants with essential as well
as nonessential production, only
workers employed on the essential
manufacturing can be frozen into
their positions.
Workers frozen in essential indus
try cannot transzer to other jobs
without obtaining ralease from their
employers, unless they can offer evil
dence that their skills are not being
fully utilized in their occupations, or
they are not being employed full time.

REFRIGERATORS:

REFRIGERATORS: New refrig-

the middle Of next year, Office Of
Civilian Requirements officials say,
after considering results of a survey
showing the serious need in millions
Of homes. There Is demand right
now for five million refrigerators and
four million washing machines. Only
about a million of each will be manu-
featured at best next year.

as Flying Liberty Ship" between
this country and distant fighting
fronts. The huge air giant weighs
70 tons.
ALUMINIUM: The aluminium pro-
duction program has passed it's goal,
Arthur Bunker, director, announces.
Output, he said, is now a million
pounds over requirements, every
three-month period. The great STEP
up in production, he added, has cost
about a billion dollars.
PENNIES: While there are more
one cent pieces in circulation than
ever before, the demand is SO great
that a shortage exists, says an Of
fetal Of the Federal Reserve Bank
of Chicago. He attributes it partly
to more activity in business. Other
explanations given, he said, are that
pennies are being accumulated in
piggy banks to buy war stamps,
and that people are holding on to
copper pennies through dislike Of the
new zinc-steel coins.

WAR STOCKS FALL:
Rumors of Peace

Rumors Of an early peace result
ing from the Moscow conference,
and victories on the Russian and
Italian fronts, caused declines in
so-called war stocks, including rail-
roads, and an upturn in peace stocks
on the New York and other markets.
Steel, rubber, aircraft, and distilling
issues dropped one to two points, as
did many low grade rail stocks.
High class rails and many utili-
ties marked up small gains. In COM
modities, wheat broke one to two
cents a bushel, but recovered later.

EUROPE:
Food Plentiful

With IN billion bushels Of bread
cereals harvested and dairy herds
at high levels, Europe's food stocks
appear adequate for the next year
on the basis Of reports Of European
newspapers and Swedish correspond
ents. Only pig and poultry supplies
are smaller.
Because Of the efficiency Of Ger
many's rationing system, 1t was
said, food will not contribute to any
collapse Of the Nazi home front. In
creased production of vegetable oils
are supplementing the Germans
diet. On the other hand, Russia
faces serious food shortages this win
ter, with conditions approaching
famine in some areas.
Should the war in Europe end sud-
denly, big difficulty in feeding the
populace would arise in moving
the food from the farms to the cities,
where plants made idle by cessation
Of war production would create Sc
we're problems of unemployment.

ridge mountain line, the Nazis be-

AS they drew back along the west
coast, they planted extensive mines

Smashing through during the
night, British troops captured Iser-

Montgomery's Tommies cut the
Nazis' forward east-west supply
road, forcing them to use other
routes behind the mountains.
Only on the Adriatic coast to the

to smash into the Britons' develop
ing concentrations and keep them

THE WOMEN
HONOR OUR WAR-MAIMED:
SOME WILL SHUN THEM

our finest young men Will
come back from this war badly
injured.
We who have sat safely at
home while they protected US
from the dangers and horrors Of
war can't look at them with hor-
rified, sickened eyes.
II we feel that way--it Is our
duty to get over It. And we can,
too.
First we must realize so deeply
that the wounds Of our men we're
suffered because they were protect
ing us, that we are humble before
them.
BECOME USED TO SHOCK
/ But there Is something else we
should do. We should get acquaint-
ed with the world Of the sick and
injured, so that we accept them
without shock or horror.
The best way to 90 about that is
to become nurses aides, to work In
hospitals, until sickness and wounds
no longer shock us.
The silly little girl who turned her
back on the Marine when she found
out he had lost leg In battle could
never have been a nurses aide,
could never have known anything
at all about sickness and suffering
and then act as she did.
