BIRTH-TO-GRAVE:
Social Security

President Roosevelt is scheduled
to receive from the department of
labor greatly -birth-to-
grave-social security plan. This
was revealed by Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins at a New York
Town Hall meeting. She said adop-
ton of such plan would provide
larger benefits including greater old
age pensions, payments for all en-
ployment Interruptions and mater
nifty and funeral benefits.
Premiums would increase pro-
gressively to an amount equal to 10
per cent of the workers paycheck.
During the first stages of the plans
operation these premiums would be
paid jointly by the employer and en-
ployee, much like the present social
security program. Then as the num-
Der of old age benefit recipients in
creased beyond the amount collected
the government would step in to pay
a share of the benefits.

NEW GUINEA:
Victory in Papua

Climaxing series of attacking
movements by American and Aus
tralian infantry units, Allied ground
forces captured Sanananda Point
and Sanananda Village on the north
eastern coast of New Guinea.
The capture of Sanananda Point
between previously captured Coma
and Buna-took the last remaining
strong japanese point in that area.
The remaining Japs were left in
pockets about mile west of San
amanda, faced with nothing more
than suicide action.
Aerial action saw Allied bombers
sink an 8,000-ton Japanese cargo
ship in the Bismarck sea and blast
enemy airports and installations
over wide area of the Southwest
Pacific.
Jap forces were cut into bits by
Australian and American patrols
reaching almost every corner of the
sWampy area. Japan's last remain
ing strength in Papua had been deci-
mated. Enemy outposts were little
more than handfuls of troops, wait
ing an almost certain end.

Here is how the system will work:
The sale of processed foods in cans

stores week before the rationing

will allow grocers to fill their
shelves. On registration day, house
wives will take the family's No.

boards and apply for book No. 2.
The consumer will have to declare

INSPIRATIONS:
For the Russians

There were reports of later Rus
sian successes following the break
ing of the siege of Leningrad but
that story carried more drama for
the Russian people themselves than
the reports of all the rest. For Len
ingrad is Russia's second city and
it had been almost year and
half since there had been any land
communication between it and the
rest of the country.
AS the Red army battled to widen
the five-mile corridor through which
the siege was first broken there were
dispatches from all along the 1900
mile front reporting new losses for
the Nazis. At all points the German
lines were sagging before the newly
found power of the Russians. In
spired by the news from Leningrad,
named for their revolutionary lead
er and considered the home of the
revolution itself, Red soldiers re-
ceived real boost in morale which
aided in maintaining a high degree
of momentum in their offensives.
Immediate OBJ: ectives that doomed
closer now were the Latvian border,
southwest of Velikie Luki, Rostov on
the lower Don, complete humiliation
of the armies tefore Stalingrad and
added progress in the direction of
Kharkov, the Pittsburgh of the
Ukraine.

FARM LABOR:
And the Draft

In an effort designed to keep more
workers on the nations farms the
War Manpower commission has put
into effect a broad liberalization of
agricultural deferment requirements.
Draft boards are now to be guided
by a new criteria" including lib
eralized application of the war unit
production standard and the addi-
ton to the list of essential crops
for which workers may be deferred.
Heretofore farmers have usually
been required to be responsible for
16 farm units" Now as few as
eight units could result in hold
ing off induction. "a unit, for exam
pie, is one dairy COW, or 20 acres of
wheat, or 20 feed lot cattle, among
other items deemed essential in the
war food program,)

NORTH AFRICA:
DeCaullists Object

New flames were ignited under
the bubbling cauldron of political
dissatisfaction in North Africa when
Marcel Peyrouton, veteran French
politician and former Vichy minis
ter of the interior, was named gov
ernor general of Algeria.
The appointment rekindled the
popular alarm which was felt when
Darlan first took office. The Fight
ing French at once jumped on the
appointment, terming Peyrouton
former Fascist sympathizer. Head
quarters of the DeGaulle forces re-
called that in April, 1941, Peyrou-
ton said that "Only madmen believe
in a British victory" The London
Daily Herald called it a political
blunder of the first water. Peyrouton
is distrusted by Frenchmen of all
parties :"
Added to this confusion was the
fact that the Allies soon must decide
on supreme commander for the
showdown with the Axis in North
Africa. The decision probably will
be fastened by the rapid telescoping
of the Tunisian and Libyan fronts.

LIBYAN DRIVE:
attack Tempo Increased

AS aerial activity flared over
wide area of the Tripolitanian front
the British eighth army continued its
headlong assault against Field Mar
shall Romme's fleeing but still intact
forces.
An early British advance carried
one of two attacking columns to
within less than so miles of Tripoli
closer than Rommel came to Al
exandria last summer.
Gen. B. L. Montgomery's most ad-
vanced column had driven Axis
forces from Benz Ulid and was in
contact with the enemy near Tar
huna, only 40 miles southeast of
Tripoli. The second British column
drove along the coastal road, reach
ing spot 80 miles east of Tripoli.
Even as the British pushed on,
many observers were of the opinion
that Rommel had decided or had
been ordered, to forget Tripoli and
attempt to get into Tunisia to join
Col. Gen. Juergen Won Arnim in a
stand against the Allied assault from
both sides.

ARGENTINA:
Stands Alone

After Chile's senate had voted 30
to 10 to break off diplomatic ties
with the Axis, Argentina remained
the only American country retaining
relations with Germany, Italy and
Japan.
Chile's action came after weeks
of wrangling over the issue and fol-
lowing the vote, Foreign Minister
Joaquin Fernadez left Immediately
to notify President Juan Antonio Rios
of the action. President Rios fol-
lowed this with a radio broadcast
to his people.
Chile's army and navy had ear
lier taken over control of strategic
areas which had been colonized by
the Germans. These were mostly in
the southern part of the country and
included ports, mining centers and
other vital areas.

Macarthur Lauded
For Leadership

When the chapter of war history
dealing with the Battle of New
Guinea is written, it will be one of
the most important in the whole
book. That is what military men
here tell me.
They began telling me that bit by
bit just before the second front in
Africa opened. Then the African
story wiped everything else off the
first pages. Recently they have been
talking about New Guinea again.
They keep saying to me little re-
proachfully, "the American people
don't realize what Macarthur has
achieved down in that jungle coun-
try"
These aren't the Macarthur
men"-there are such in the army,
a little group of hero worshipers who
perhaps worship bit more fervently
than logically. But the men who
have watched the New Guinea cam
paign from Moresby straight up over
the Owen Stanley range and down
the other side and up to the eastern
coast of the island tell me that Mac
Arthur and the leaders he has about
him have done a great and a sig
nificant job.
1t is great because he has accom-
plished what it was freely predicted
the Japs' could not do (and didn't).
1t is significant because it has proved
that Australians and Americans, CIV
en- the training, can beat the Jap at
his own game. They can (and have)
beaten him with less training, with
out the fatalistic quality of the Jap,
whose religion is to die rather than
surrender even when dying isn't a
military necessity.
There are two reasons, which mill
tary men put forward why the battle
of New Guinea has not been painted
in its true colors-represent ir its
true importance. One is the fact
that Macarthur leans backward in
his communiques. Another is a
peculiar copy-desk prejudice of
American newspapers, which causes
them to play down reports from the
distance and play up the reports
from the war department in Wash
ington.
There are two reasons why Mac
Arthur's reports are given out from
his headquarters in Australia instead
of by the war department in Wash
ington. One is that the Australians
(and perhaps MacArthur) want it
that way, and another is because
American newspapers, who pay a
lot of money to keep correspondents
in that area, don't like to have their
men scooped by Washington.
Why He Is Winning
Macarthur may have another rea-
son for not ballyhooing his achieve
ments. He was beaten in Bataan.
He may feel that until he has
complete victory to his credit, he
doesn't want to sing too loudly.
But Macarthur has won so far in
New Guinea because the men under
his command were able to do what
they never had a chance to do on
Bataan because of lack of numbers,
supplies and food
On New Guinea they we're able to
do better than the Japs could, the
very things which the Japs could dc
best. And they did it in the kind OF
jungle country in which that "best"
was even better. They were able
to adapt themselves to the environ
ment which required a kind of fight
ing and kind of endurance for
which the Japanese had spent years
in preparing. The kind of fighti 6
that resulted in the fall of Singapore
and the kind which the conventional
British soldiers-even the Far East.
