ARMY CUTS SIZE:
Draft Change Voted

AS the house sent the senate bill
calling for the, deferment of fathers
until all other eligible single and
childless married men throughout
the nation have been called, it was
revealed that the army had decided
to cut its manpower needs by
548, 900.
In addition to the provision put
ting fathers at the bottom of the
draft lists and postponing their in
duction from 30 to 60 days, the house
bill also requires occupational defer
ments be reviewed by appeal boards
within the district where the de-
ferred person works. A five man
medical commission would be es-
tablished to consider the possibility
of lowering physical standards.
The $4,000 cut in manpower
needs will give the army a total
force of 1852, 1000 men. 1t also was
revealed that the army had saved
over Is billion dollars out of 127
billion dollars appropriated for its
use, with economies of over 10
billion dollars effected by curtail-
ment of the armament, equipment
and airplane programs.

RUSSIA:
Cut Nazi Railroads

Two important railroads in Russia
linking German armies of the north
with those of the south, and running
westward into the big pre-war Polish
cities of Warsaw and Lwow, were
cut by the Red armies.
AS the Russian forces severed
these major German arteries, Nazi
forces launched strong counterat-
tack against the Reds in the vicinity
of these rail lines, gaining some
ground. But here, as further to the
south where the Germans claimed
100000 Russians were hammering
them above Krivoi Rog, the Nazi
positions still were in fluid state.
To the north, the Reds pecked at
the Nazi base of Gomel, serving as
the southern anchor of their Baltic
line which is hinged on Finland. Ten
classes of reservists in the Baltic
states have been called to military
service by the Nazis.

WAR PRODUCTION: The pc

WAR PRODUCTION: The peak
demand in war production has been
passed, Harry Moulton, president
of the Brookings Institute, recently
told the American Finance confer
ence in Washington. He said that
stocks of raw materials have be-
come entirely adequate, and even
excessive in some cases. More
and more cancellations of war goods
contracts are coming, he predicted.
NEWSPRINT: Still further reduc-
tions in quantity of newsprint paper
that can be allowed must be made,
the War Production board says.
Larger newspapers face % per
cent slash. The overall trim must
be % per cent

pneumatic riveter, said to drive riv-

little machine weighs only Az
pounds, and is easily handled.

in the Solomons, Liberator bombers
lashed against the enemy's tiny Gil

thorns along our supply routes to
the battle areas.
Warding off Jap blows from the
air, U. S. warships moved up Bou-
gainville's west coast to pound the
enemy's big airplane base of Buka.
Absence of strong elements of the
japanese fleet in the advanced bat
tie zone suggested that the enemy
was concentrating his formidable
naval force on protection of his 1,500
mile sea lane running from Japan
proper to the rich islands south.
In New Guinea, Australian forces
began moving northward from
Finschhafen toward the Jap strong
holds of Madang and Wewak, from
which the enemy's aerial units have
been striking at the Allied bases.

RAILROAD WAGES:
In Congress Lap

AS congress considered a resoh
ton to grant incorporating railroa
employees an eight cents an hot
wage increase, it was announced
railroad employment in mid-Octobel
of 1943 was 4 per cent over the
same period last year, but still 100,
600 short of needs.
Congressional action on the wage
increase was sought after the Office
of Economic Sterilization refused to
sanction the award, instead offering
lowest paid employees 10 cents
an hour boost and the highest paid
4 cents an hour.
In all, the railroads employed
1,367,817 workers in mid-October,
with critical shortages existing in
the operating departments. Main
tenance-of-way and structural clas-
sifications showed a 3.57 decrease
from October of 1912.

in charge of civilian needs, has re-

About three million irons were sold

OIL:
Seek NetU Wells

With a projected goal of 24,000
new oil wells in 1914, prospects
loomed for increased activity in
the Rocky Mountain states.
Of the $4,000 new oil wells, 5000
are to be exploratory and the re-
naming $4,000 development prof.
ects. The immense Powder river
basin in the northeastern section of
Wyoming and southeastern section
of Montana might prove the focal
point of operations.
Congressional action in reducing
royalties on discoveries on public
domain to flat 12.5 per cent for
the duration and 10 years afterward
furnishes incentive for action in the
Rocky mountain region.

The Other Bo,UIs

What about the Sugar Bowl, where
they have some $4,000 palpitating
spectators waiting for the annual
New Years party?
The New Orleans choice could be
L.S.U., Tulane or Southwestern In
stitute.
These are all good teams.
But what about the opposition?
What team can be drawn in that
will give the game some semblance
of intersectional competition?
The Sugar Bowl would like to get
some team from the North or East.
This is not as simple as it used
to be. There are few teams from
the North or East who have any in
terest in Bowl games.
And there is also the matter of
travel and the distance a team has
to travel.
Pennsylvania, Dartmouth and
Penn State would be worth booking
in any Bowl contest.
But no one can say they will be
able to meet any Bowl invitation.
The same shadow hangs over the
Orange Bowl at Miami.
The best teams from the South
eastern sector include Duke, North
Carolina and Georgia Tech.
1t is possible that one of these
teams might be available. But what
opponent can they get from some
outlying precinct, to give the game
an intersectional flavor?

Cotton Bowl at Dallas or the Orange

For example, the Cotton Bowl has
Texas and Texas A. and M. as the

But where is there an opponent
they can pick?
There is Tulsa, with one of the best
teams available, but Tulsa is some
what close to Texas territory.
Tulsa would be better for the Sug-
ar Bowl or the Orange Bowl.
But this leaves the leading Texas
team in spot.
Texas has her part of the Bowl

a first-class competitor from anoth-
