parachutists to cut off the fast re
treating Afrika Korps today, Whlle

ed Tripoli
The Nazi Radio Paris said Allied
parachutiSts were being ShoWered
down on the desert to blow up
bridges and roads ahead of the re-
treating Germans and Italians, and
vaguely claimed they had been
"neutralized.'
The purpose of such action would
be to cut off the Afrika Korps short
of a junction with Col. Gen. Hans
Arnim's forces III Tunisia.
Reports reaching London said
both infantry and tanks were 81
miles from Tripoli, but the Middle

day. covering operations yesterday,
said the Eighth Army was closing
in on Tarhuna. 40 miles from Tri-
roll. and Cn HONS, 81 miles away.
SUPPLIES CAPTURED
Lieut.. Gen. Bernard L. Montgom-
ery's southernmost column, 60 to
rs miles below the coastal road, was
the force at Tarhuna. His coastal
column was the one at HONS.
Apparently the Germans and 1tal-
ians were not retrcating fast enough
to stay clear of the British, because
the communiquc said prisoners, guns
and vehicles were captured. The
axis was reported burning its sup
plies along the coastal road.

ating under the Middle Eastern
command relentlessly pressed their
attacks against transport cast OF

LET'S AIN THOUGHTS
THE OTHER WAY

Right now America is at war. Because
of the war, we have had to accept great
er measure of government control than
ever existed before. But don't think that
control has got to extend into peacetime.
We're going to make our own peace
abroad; we ought to make it at home.
We're going to dictate the terms upon
which the axis nations will operate for
many years after the war. Let US dictate
the terms upon which we, ourselves, will
operate our own government
We can do that by accepting nothing
as inevitable; by realizing that no gov
ernment,-not even a dictatorship-can
continue for long contrary to the wishes
of the people. A dictatorship rises by
fooling the people, and continues in Of
flee by keeping them fooled. That is
lot different from continuing in office
contrary to their wishes. A dictatorship
shapes its peoples wishes; it does not
oppose them.
We can gain back freedom of private
enterprise after the war il we are deter
mined to do it. The power is ours. All
we have to do is to exercise it.
The first step in that direction is to
reject any talk about inevitable con-
trolls" and think, plan and work toward
the day when, peace being restored, we
will again be the freest people on earth

VIA Plans Restriction
On Milk Consumption
Over Present Levels
Fears Butter Shortage
Moy Grow Dangerous
Unless Action Is Token
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Fearful the butter shortage
may reach the danger point, the
Government is setting up ma
chinery to hold milk sales at
their current levels-without
point rationing.
The new restrictions on milk-the
only major dairy product not now
under distribution control were
promised by the War Food Admin
istration last night with this warn
ing:
Should fluid milk consumption
expand still further. production of
cheese, butter, evaporated milk and
other dairy foods would decline be-
low the amounts necessary to meet
essential civilian requirements"
A formal order limiting milk deal
ers to their current allotments was
reported in process of preparation.
The plan, the WA made clear.
"does not involve point rationing'
and does not contemplate ''curtail-
ment of milk consumption below
recent levels"
The announcement termed a
threat to civilian supplies of but
ter and other dairy products the
number one problem on the dairy
front today"
Although milk production has
leveled off and may decline some
what more than seasonally, the OFF,
cials estimated increased consump-
ton at rate of about per cent
month. They said total milk output
has risen almost 10000 000, 900
pounds since 1910, and now is at
about the highest level which can
be expected under present feed con-
ditions.
The VIA has been and is con-
tinuing to urge farmers to ship more
milk to market" the announcement
said. THE Government is assisting
In financing the construction of milk
powder plants in strategic areas to
provide the farmers with ready
market. In view of shortage of
feed in many areas, many farmers
find it more profitable or more
necessary to use the skim milk on
the farm. selling the cream to local
creamery. A large volume of milk
moreover, probably will continue to
be retained on the farm for various
uses or to be sold at retail by the
farmer himself
If milk consumption can be pre-
vented from rising further, officials
said, butter production this year may
be maintained at about the same
level as last year. Production OF
American cheese, evaporated milk
and dried skim milk already has de-
clinsd and may be 90 per cent
smaller than in 1912
