FARM PICTURE:
IncentiUe Plan

Under terms of the new "incen-
tive" program as announced by Sec
rotary of Agriculture Claude Wick
ard, U. S. producers stand to pick
up an extra 100 million dollars in
subsidy payments to be awarded
for meeting or exceeding greatly
expanded farm production goals.
Applicable to soybeans, grain sor-
ghums, peanuts, sweet potatoes, fax
and dried peas, the program would
pay growers of these crops extra
benefits for each acre on which they
exceed 80 per cent of their goal
up to ITO per cent of that goal.
These are products which are badly
needed in the war effort to meet
deficiencies in vegetable oils and
proteins for animal feeding and hui
man consumption.
Wickard stated further that add
ed labor and materials will have to
be available to farmers if they are
to meet the goals of the program.
Land Arn,y'
AS means to this end Secretary
Wickard and Manpower Commits
sioner Paul V. McNutt released
their plans for the mobilization of a
volunteer land army of 311A million
farm workers. These would be gath
cred from ranks of women, the I'M
employed, clerks, and nonwar work
ers from cities and towns.
Aimed at relieving the expected
farm manpower crisis, which ex-
perts predict will reach it's peak in
midsummer, this land army would
be gathered by the joint activities
extension agents of the department
of agriculture and by the field of
fees of the War Manpower COM
mission.
More than IL million farm work
ers will be needed at the height of
the farm season, said Wickard. He
pointed out that the total farm la
Dor force in December, 1912, was
100000.

TRANSPORTATION: Joseph B.
Eastman, director of defense trans
portation, has called upon taxicab
and bus companies to prepare plans
Immediately for mileage curtail-
ment in case of emergency. He
has requested operators of 10 or
more vehicles to submit three plans:
For elimination of 10, 20 and 80 per
cent of all presently operated vehi-
Gle miles.
COMMANDOS: Hailed by the Lon
don Daily Express as the "most au-
dacious raid of the war;" seven
British torpedo boats penetrated
heavily mined Norwegian coastal
waters to raid Larvik, 70 miles
south of Oslo. The raid was termed
successful.
ACE: Capt. Joseph Foss of Sioux
Falls, S. D., nailed three more jap
Zeros on Guadalcanal to bring his
total of enemy planes shot down to
26. His feat ties the record of World
War l, held by Capt. Eddie Ricken-
hacker, who was known as the lace
of aces" during the last war.

SAVING: Maintenance of the Of
fee of Price Administration has cost
each American only 80 cents dur
ing the past year, but has saved
each citizen $3.50 during the same
period, Chester K. Hayes, of the
Chicago regional Office of the OPA,
said. One of his examples: consum-
ers are paying only seven cents a
pound for sugar whereas they paid
Is cents during the last war.
SUBMARINES: Germany is build
ing fleet of the worlds largest
submarines as cargo carriers to es-
tablish and maintain shipping con-
tact with Japan, according to Lon
don dispatches. The subs, of $500
tons displacement, are said to be
similar to the famed Deutschland
which came to the United States in
1916 with cargo of dyes.
SPY: Franciscus Johannes Win
ter, 40, German spy who entered
Britain in the guise of refugee, has
been executed. He was the 18th spy
to die in Britain since the start of

LEND LEASE:
Extension Sought

Congress is already considering
the extension of the lend-lease act
by another year-to June 80, 1914.
This early action has been taken to
insure an uninterrupted flow of war
materials between the United States
and our fighting Allies.
Though there are some verbal out
bursts expected on the role of Harry
Hopkins in the program, even Re-
publican minority leaders in con-
gress predict approval of an extern
sion for the plan. Two years ago
when it was first introduced the
United States was not at war and
there evolved one of the greatest
legislative battles of history over
passage of the measure putting the
idea in motion.
Representative Sol Bloom intro
duced the new measure just one
day after Edward R. Stettinius Jr.,
lend-lease administrator, reported to
congress on how the eight billion dol
lar distribution of aid was made to
our Allies under terms of the pro-
gram from March II, 1941, to the
end of 1912.

RALLYINC CRY:
For Russians

II declare my appreciation to the
command and to the gallant troops.
Forward to the routing of the Ger
man invaders and their expulsion
over the boundaries of our mother
land" So declared Josef Stain in
an order of the day broadcast by
the Moscow radio.
His words, urging the Russians to
throw the Nazis out of their country,
became the rallying cry of the Red
army as it pushed forward in the
big offensives aimed at Kursk,
Kharkov and Rostov. After the fall
of these strategic points there were
still miles of hard battling ahead,
but for the first time since the Nazis
started their invasion of Russia
there were definite signs that Sta
Inns plea was not idle thinking.
For everywhere along the far
flung front-from Leningrad to the
Caucasus-the Reds added momen-
tum to their drive. Russian military
quarters estimated that 40 per cent
of the Axis electives had been
knocked out by the Red winter Of
fensive.
At the same time diplomatic cir
cles revealed that United Nations
air and sea supply lines to Russia
were getting much better protec-
ton than a few months ago because
losses on these routes have dropped
sharply. One recent U. S. convoy
was reported to have reached Rus
STA without loss of a single ship.
It was indicated that close U. S.
British Russian cooperation was
making this possible.

STRATEGY:
On a High Plane

When the initial surprise of one of
the wars greatest stories - the
Roosevelt Churchill unconditional
surrender" meeting at Casablanca
in French Morocco-had died away,
the world waited expectantly for the
carrying out of the principles of
grand strategy laid down by Allied
military leaders.
The Roosevelt Churchill rendez-
vous was the definite tip-off of big
things to come. The Allied leaders
made it clear that their countries
would dig to the bottom of their re-
sources-if necessary-in order to
carry out the determination of Axis
war power as quickly as possible.
From a cleaning white villa near
Casablanca came the great news.
But only after complete secrecy had
officially ended. Correspondents re-
garded the meeting as one of the
best kept secrets of all time. Virtu-
ally the entire war stats of both
nations participated in the dramatic
Today discussions which ended with
a press conference. But the presi-
dental air voyage was shrouded in
such secrecy that even some cabi-
net members did not know Mr..
Roosevelt was out of town.
No one doubted but that further
important developments would stem
from the meeting. One of the most
widespread predictions is that the
North acknowledgements area
will soon be organized into a sepa-
rate theater of operations. Thus far
the United States forces in that area
have been part of the European the
alter. Separation of Africa and the
Mediterranean Basin from the Euro
pean theater might well be an i'm
portant factor in the Allied offensive
campaigns of the year.
Frenchnen Meet
One of the most important
achievements of the conference was
the bringing about of a meeting be-
tween Gen. Charles de Gaulle and
Gen. Henri Giraud. Those leaders
of the Fighting French and French
Africa announced that they were in
complete agreement regarding the
liberation of their homeland. But it
was regrettably clear that any
merging of the two movements or
any political alliance between them
was far from being realized.
OfenSiUes Will Tell
While the decisions made by mill
tary leaders are secret, observers
indicated that concrete results
would become apparent with new
Allied offensives this spring.
The basic questions settled ap-
peared to be these:
l. The first great effort must be
to drive the Axis entirely from North
Africa and free the Mediterranean
supply line.
2. If he has not been chosen al
ready, a supreme Allied command
er in Europe will be named.
3. The anti-submarine warfare and
air war against Europe will be
stepped up.
4. Europe will be invaded in one of
three ways: Across the Mediterra-
mean, a frontal attack on the chan
mel coast, or conquest of Norway.
s. Aid to Russia and China will
be stepped up as much as possible.
Of immediate interest to the Unit
ed Nations is the naming of a SUI
preme military commander. The
name of Gen. George c. Marshall,
chief of staff of the American army,
is most frequently mentioned. Many
observers believed he had already
been decided upon to head the COM
mand.

RATIONINC:
Limit Set

With the beginning of rationing
but few weeks away the Office of
Price Administration established a
five-can-per-person limit as the
amount of canned vegetables and
fruits which householders might
have on hand, without penalty, at
the beginning of the point system.
This was a drastic cut from the
eight to ten cans which it had pre-
viously been expected would be al
lowed.
When the plan gets under way,
persons who have more than the al
lowable limits will have coupons torn
out of their canned goods ration
book up to the point value of the
goods held in excess. This will be
based on one eight-point coupon for
each can over FIVE per household
member.
Excluded from the count of five
cans per person will be cans con-
tanning less than eight ounces.

ARGUMENTS:
Gets an Airing

For weeks Washington has reports
of unannounced differences of opin-
ion between Rubber Administrator
William LETTERS and other govern
ment and military officials over pri-
critics for the synthetic rubber pro-
gram. Finally the dispute was
brought into the open when letters.
in a Baltimore address, dashed out
at army and navy expediters in war
plants.
Congress decided to investigate his
charges and Donald Nelson, war pro-
duction chief, admitted the fact that
a tiff in government ranks had re-
suited over this issue. Most Wash
ington sources knew that President
Roosevelt would be required to step
in as arbiter in the dispute.
The quarrel centers around steel
priorities for synthetic rubber
plants. Army and navy officials be-
lieve that these plants should be
built only in direct relation to the
military needs of steel for the pro-
duction of such items as high-octane
gasoline, airplanes, escort vessels
and merchant ships. LETTERS con-
tended that the production efforts
could be worked out in conjunction
with one another and without ham,
pering progress in his synthetic rub
Der program.

REVOLT:
That Frances spark of independ-
ence has not been extinguished COM
pletely by the cold brutality of Nazi-
ism was proved when angry French
men fortified their homes in the old
port district of Marseilles, firing
on German soldiers who ordered
them to evacuate the district. Ger
man authorities had ordered the
evacuation apparently as defense
measure against possible invasion
from North Africa. The move was
made after Nazi officials brought up
tanks, field guns and infantry.
DNB, German news agency, said
in dispatches to Madrid and Lisbon
that 10000 persons had been ar
rested in Marseilles. Vichy radio
attempted to minimize difficulties.
Nazi dispatches said the move was
absolutely necessary because there
were among them many criminals
whose activities were against the
security and interest of the state.
The German-controlled Lyons radio
said in a reassuring broadcast to
the French people that ''The Mar
settles population, by their great
calm and discipline, have greatly
facilitated the evacuation ;"

Aged Home Hunt Yields
Quinine Stock for War

Otto Cass, superintendent of the
Home for Aged and Infirm, at Blue
Plains, has announced the discovery
of $1,000 grains of quinine-im-
mensely valuable in wartime-dur-
ing a search of old storerooms at
the institution. The stock is to be
turned over to Federal agencies as
soon as purchase formalities are
concluded.
The quinine. 5000 tablets of three
grains each, is said to be surplus
drugs left over from the last World
War. Investigation showed the tab
lets to be dry and in good condition
and the Commissioner have directed
that it be made available for war
service,
