ITALY:
Fight for Rome

Beating forward to Rome, Allied
armies ran into what appeared to
be the Germans first stiff defense
line across southern Italy.
In taking up their new positions,
the Germans entrenched themselves
on the north bank of the Volturno
river on the western coast, and
along the open, narrow plain on the
eastern coast. Between the two
coasts, their troops dug into the rug
ged mountains.
In all, the line ran 125 miles across
Italy. Allied Generals Montgomery
and Clark brought up reinforce
ments for the first thrust at the enc
ny's new positions, while U. S. and
British airnen pounded German
supply routes leading to the front.
Observers kept one eye cooked on
the Balkans, where German and
British units were fighting for small
islands in the Aegean sea. from
which an invasion fleet moving into
Greece or Jugo-Slavia could be
bombed

PEACE AIMS:
Three Faiths Agree

Identical peace aims have been
enunciated by representatives Of the
three great faiths of the United
States in a seven-point declaration.
After months of study, the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in
America, speaking for the Protes-
tants, Catholics and Jews, issued
a seven-point postwar program.
/. A just peace based upon recog-
milton that "not only individuals, but
nations, states and international So
ciety are subject to the sovereignty
of God and the moral law;" 2. States
must repudiate racial, religious or
other discrimination; 3. Safeguards
for all peoples, large and small; 4.
Equal educational opportunities and
political equality for minorities.
5. Guarantee of faithful fulfill
ment of international obligations; to
provide collective security by limi-
tation of ornaments; to compel ar
bitration of disputes. 6. Interna-
tional economic collaboration "to as
sist all states to provide an adequate
standard of living for their citizens"
z. Security of the family and par
ticipation of labor in decisions af-
fecting it's welfare.

RUSSIA:
Crack Dnieper

Storming the Dnieper river at
three points, Red troops cracked the
Nazis' last strong natural defense
line in Russia, and the enemy strug-
gled valiantly to check the new drive
before it could gain momentum.
Principal breach in the Dnieper
front was so miles north of Kiev,
where the Reds poured reinforce
ments and supplies onto the west
bank after gaining an initial foot
hold. The Nazis' problem was to
keep the Russians from building up a
force strong enough to drive for
ward and then swing back and take
Kiev from the rear.
In the north, the Reds recaptured
the important rail junction of Newell.

PHILIPPINES:
Immediate independence

To combat japanese propaganda
designed to obtain the support of the
Filipinos in the war against the
U. S., congress has received bill
to grant the Philippine Islands their
independence as soon as possible
rather than in 1916.
Following introduction of the bill,
President Roosevelt recommended
that action be taken on the proposal,
with provisions for economic free
dom, postwar rehabilitation with
u. S. help, and military security
through U. S.-Filipino cooperation.
In attempting to consolidate their
hold over the Philippines, the Japs
have been DINING the natives that
the U. S. is insincere in it's promise
Of granting them independence.

Henry Horner broke their hold on
the state in 1886, he made peace
with them in 1889, and since then
their power lay unquestioned.
Nash mixed politics with business.
AS he rose up the political ladder
through so years, he kept his sewer
age business, at one time drawing

EUROPE:
Sufficient Food

Germany's conquest of Europe
early in World War II has assured
her of sufficient food to carry on the
conflict. At present, German rations
are three times higher than they
were at the close of the last war.
Besides being able to draw on all
of Europe for food, Germany's own
1943 production was at top levels.
Bread and cereal crops were said
to be one-third higher this year than
last.
The oilseed harvest was the best
in a generation, and butter produc-
ton totaled 7O8, 900 tons. Millions of
foreign workers intensified cultiva-
ton of sugar beets and potatoes.
Cattle stock reputedly was higher
than 1899, and because of increased
feed, plans were laid for raising
more hogs.
The U. S. department of agricul-
ture estimated Europe's 1943 wheat
crop at liz billion bushels, largest
since 1899.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
jap Posts Crumble

The japanese position in the Solo
mons and New Guinea is slowly
crumbling. With the Allies holding
the advantage in sea and air
strength, the Japs have found it in
creasingly difficult to supply their
distant outposts, and latest in the
group to be abandoned was Kolom-
bangara in the Solomons.
Unable to use big cargo or naval
vessels because they would become
easy prey for the superior Allied
sea and air forces, the Japs are
continuing to rely on barges for sup
plying their advanced bases, and,
as in the case of Kolombangara,
evacuating men. Operated at night,
these barges are hidden along the
seashores by day.
In New Guinea, the Allies beat
back light patrols guarding the ap-
proaches to Madang, Jap air and
shipping base on the northeast coast.
The Allies were skirting the enc
my's main defenses in a wide, cir
cling movement, to fall on the base
from the rear in much the same pat
tern as their conquests Of Lac and
Finschafen.

FARM:
Higher Meat Goals

Because stocks have outgrown
feed supplies, the War Food admin
istration will call upon farmers to
market three million head of cattle
in 1914 which they might otherwise
keep for milking, breeding or fat
tening.
In all, the VIA will work for an
increase Of two billion pounds of meat
over this year, to bring total produc-
ton to 3012 billion pounds. But be-
cause military, lend-lease and other
government agencies will ask for Is
per cent more meat next year, civil
ian rations are not expected to be
raised.
Because Of the feed situation,
VIA will ask for II per cent cut
in hog production, but inasmuch as
many pigs from the 1943 crop will
be led to market, 1914 slaughter is
expected to top this years.

On the other hand, venereal infec.

revealed.
The head of the medical corps also
stated that wounded soldiers have a
much better chance of survival in
this war than in previous ones. Only
212 per cent Of the wounded die
after treatment now, he said, which
is the lowest rate in the history 0s

Declaring that the American peo-
pie are able to pay for at least so
per cent of war expenses through
taxes, Sterilization Director Fred NJ.
Vinson urged a reluctant congress
to approve the governments pro-
gram for 1912 billion dollars of new
1evies.
The program calls for higher in
come and corporation taxes, and in
creased rates on tobacco, liquor,
amusements and luxuries of all
kinds. The program also was to
slap new levies on candy, chewing
gum, soft drinks, greeting cards and
other items.
Present taxes are paying for about
38 per cent of war expenses, and
the additional 1917 billion dollars
would bring the figure up to almost
so per cent. In his statement to
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1943-10-21

congress, Vinson declared that next
year the people will have over 46
billion dollars in excess purchasing
power over goods available. Higher
taxes also will serve to prevent in
fation then, he said.
The government also proposed in
creased social security taxes for
higher unemployment payments and
temporary disability and hospital
benefits.

In further effort to bring meat
production in line with feed sup
plies, the Commodity Credit corpo-
ration prohibited sale of it's wheat
stocks for feed for fattening hogs
over 200 pounds or building cattle
beyond fair to good finish.
CCC also stipulated that feed mix
ers purchasing CCC wheat must sell
their product only for dairy cows

be required to certify use of the
grain according to government reg
ulation.
With weekly wheat sales averag-
ing 10 million bushels, CCC stocks
