SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
Battle for Air Control

While Gen. Menryo Sato, chief of
the Nipponese military affairs bu-
reau in Tokyo threatened Jap air
raids on the United States, enemy
planes continuing a battle for con-
troll of the air over wide area at
the approaches to Australia mount
ed a 100-ship raid at Milne Bay,
New Guinea. Allied fighter planes,
alert to the danger, shot 80 of the
enemy raiders out of the sky.
Meanwhile, Allied air forces rang
ing over the vast battle area de-
scribed by Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thur as "our bomber line-the first
line of Australian defense" attacked
a Japanese convoy of six merchant
ships and three warships approach
ing the enemy base at Wewak, $50
miles north Of Port Moresby, New
Guinea. Three of the merchantmen
were hit, including two 8,000-ton and
one 5,000-ton ships.
In answer to warnings from Cen
eral MacArthur's headquarters of
the increasing strength of Jap air,
sea and land force concentrations
threatening Australia, Secretary Of
War Stimson promised that enough
planes would be sent to the South
Pacific to counter the rising Jap
power.

BERNIE: Germany which melted
out aerial punishment to Britain
three years ago has learned what a
bitter experience it is to be on the
receiving end of Allied bombings. A
statement quoted here from the
Strasbourger Nachrichten says:
1--WE must admit the war has taken
turn we had not foreseen. Sad, too,
is the fact that we have no means of
preventing air raids"
WASHINGTON: Undersecretary
of War Robert P. Patterson told the
house military affairs committee
that the current struggle against the
Axis in North Africa is merely "a
preliminary skirmish when viewed
in its setting in the entire war
scene" Germany and Nazi-held Eu-
rope and the rich possessions seized
by the Japs are ''the chief battle
ground and those battles have not
yet been fought" he declared. Pre-
dieting that the struggle will be bit:
terly fought out, Patterson said he
believed "the means of victory are
In our hands,"

BUENOS AIRES: Seven members
of the crew of the scuttled German
pocket battleship Graf Spec escaped
during a leave here from an intern
ment camp on Martin Garcia is
land, government sources were in
formed. Authorities were reported
searching for the men. More than
300 Nazi sailors from the ship have
escaped since they were informed in
Argentina three years ago.
LONDON: A meatless diet looms
for residents of the British Isles once
the second front in Europe is in full
operation, according to Food Min
lister Lord Woolton. Warning that
there would not be sufficient meat
to fill even minimum ration needs
once the Allied armies come to grips
with the enemy on the continent,
Woolton said people could main
tain their health by eating more
potatoes and other vegetables. A
campaign already under way to
make potatoes more popular with
the British, he said, was showing
success.

PLAIN TALK:
Business Gets Lecture

Silver-thatched Commerce Secre-
tary Jesse H. Jones gave business
in general some of his native Texas
plain talk" when he appeared as
speaker before the Committee for
Economic Development in New
York.
Pointing out that the nation cam
not indulge in another depression, Z"
but must pay the costs of this war
which he said had been estimated
at around $50 billion dollars, Jones
said "the problem will be to pro-
vide jobs at living wage for every
person willing to work."
Business must form its own post
war plans and meet the problems
ahead with it's own practical solu-
tons if it does not want the govern
ment to step in and do the planning
for it.

ARMY:
Cuts Food waste

Better planning by mess officers
and cooperation by cooks and KPs
has reduced the amount of food
wasted at army camps by more
than half since the beginning of the
year, it was disclosed when testi-
mony of private hearing of the
senate war investigating Truman
committee was made public.
Before the army's conservation
program was inaugurated as much
as 20 to Is per cent of the food
served at camps was wasted. This
wastage has now been reduced to
about II per cent-a saving sufi-
Gent to feed million civilians for
year.
Figures on the extent of army
food conservation were presented by
Maj. Gen. E. B. Gregory, quarter
master general. He told the COM
mittee that army food purchases
had to be sufficient for an average
of 2, 100000 men overseas and 4,500,-
600 men in this country during 1943.
He indicated that the average size
of the army will be 100000 this
year.

FOOD:
You'll Get Less In '43

Controversies might rage over
whether the Office of War Informa-
ton had or had not sugar-coated its
estimates of forthcoming food short
ages, but the sober fact remained
that civilians will have at least 6
per cent less to eat this year than
they consumed last year.
Warning that the food situation is
serious, Owl experts said, "There
will be more or less continuous
shortages of some kinds of food
such as canned vegetables :.
(and) meat products. Civil
ians, however, will get enough to
eat. In fact, compared to the pre-
war years they will have about 8 per
cent more food.
Among food supplies on the debit
side for 1913, Owl roughly estimat-
ed: II per cent less meat, 81 per
cent less butter, II per cent less
cheese, 3 to Is per cent less canned
vegetables, 81 per cent less canned
and shell fish. Among items on the
credit side, Owl calculated: 80 per
cent more chickens, 81 per cent more
margarine, Is per cent more frozen
fruits, per cent more wheat and
Is per cent more rye. Listed among
food supplies that will be about the
same as last year were: Fresh and
frozen fish, eggs, fluid milk and
cream, lard and other cooking fats,
fresh citrus fruits, potatoes and
sweet potatoes.

TUNISIA:
81 to 3

AS the Allied armies closed in on
the Axis last mountain bastions in
Tunisia, the gravity of Marshal
Rommel's supply problem was shown
by the heavy German reliance on
aerial transport from Sicily.
That this supply problem would
become even more critical was evil
dent from two facts: 1.-The Axis
had lost all but three airports in Tu-
hisia; 2-RommePs thin supply line
was being menacingly depleted by
American Flying Fortress attacks.
Typical of the potency of the
American aerial offensive was a
raid on Axis rear bases at Castel-
vetrano and Milo in Sicily in which
"a enemy planes were destroyed
with the loss of but three American
aircraft.
With the Mediterranean at their
back, the forces of Rommel and Col.
Gen. Won Arnim were hemmed into
an area less than the size of Con-
necticut in Northeast Tunisia. The
Axis did, however, have the advan-
tage of holding mountainous posi-
tons difficult for the Allies to storm.
The strongly fortified ports of Tu-
mis- and Bizerte were the Allies final
goal. Operating under the supervi-
sion of Commander-in-Ch Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, the British
First army in the North, American
and French forces in the center
and General Montgomery's British
Eighth army on the South steadily
closed the trap on the Axis.

AIR RAIDS:
Sardinia to Stuttgart

From Sardinia to East Prussia,
Allied bombers struck at Axis-held
Europe with increasing fierceness
as the tempo of 'softening up" raids
continued to rise. British, Ameri-
can and Russian planes had stimuli
taneously taken the offensive.
Among spectacular raids was the
vast British foray against the big
German industrial city of Stuttgart.
Observers reported that planes on
this raid could be heard roaring
across the British Channel toward
the continent for an hour and half.
Nazi radio broadcasts were the
authority for reports that Red air
forces had raided Koenigsburg in
East Prussia three times within a
five-day span.
American Flying Fortresses con-
tinued to destroy Axis shipping ia
cilities with Furnishing attacks on the
port of Cagliari in Sardinia.

MEAT:
Ceilings Deferred

Following through on President
Roosevelt's directive to roll back"
the cost of living items found too
high, OPA Chief Prentiss M. Brown
suspended until May II the price
ceiling schedule on beef, veal, lamb
and mutton.
Meat trade sources disclosed that
the OPA had received complaints
that its previously proposed stand
ard prices on these meats would
have resulted in higher prices.

RUSSIA:
Sparring Tactics

Still sparring like prize-fighters
seeking advantageous openings, the
Red and Nazi armies on the far
flung Russian front held each other
off in preparation for the cudgelling
blows that will fall when dry ground
makes movement possible.
Military activity was confined to
minor skirmishes. In the Kuban
valley of the Caucasus, the Russians
mounted attacks which resulted in
the capture of series of pillboxes
and trenches from the German de-
tenders.
In the Donets river area the Ger
mans attempted another offensive in
the Izyum sector, but were repulsed,
a Soviet communique said. North
of Chuguev in the Kharkov area,
Russian artillery was credited with
dispensing a German infantry batal-

ton of Real Estate Boards, the OPA
ruled that any such changes would
be in conflict with the Presidents
orders "to hold the line" against
imitation.
Commenting on the realtors sug-
gestions, Price Administrator Prem
tiss M. Brown said that while the
proposals do not explicitly request
any general increase in the rent
level, their adoption would clearly
achieve such request"
While the .OPA is considering a
few minor changes in its rent rules,
Brown asserted that so far as the
basic program is concerned, ST do
not intend to alter either its method
or administration"

BALKANS:
Hitler Builds Fences

Even as Hungary was reported
pulling 100000 men out of Axis ranks
on the Russian front, a Rome broad
cast announced that Adolf Hitler in
move to strengthen his Mediter-
ranean defenses had called in lead
ers of his Balkan satellites for con-
ference.
The seemingly frank tone of the
Rome broadcast, plus reports from
neutral Spain and Sweden that Ger
man engineers were dissatisfied with
defense works in the Balkans led
observers to believe that the Axis
was on a fishing expedition for clues
to possible Allied invasion plans.
Commenting on a conference be-
tween Hitler and Rumania Premier
Ion Antonescu, the Rome radio
said: "The Fuehrer and the Mar
shall restated their decision to con-
tinue the fight against the enemies
of Europe until unconditional vic
tory has been achieved"
