COFFEE AND BUTTER !:
RdtiO71s Are Simmer

Less coffee in their morning cups
and butter on their bread faced
Americans for the remainder of 1913,
as the OPA and the Food Distribu-
ton administration made known
their newest rationing plans.
Coffee rations were reduced from
one pound per person every five
weeks to one every six weeks. This
worked out to about 81 pounds per
year per civilian.
Approximately 10 pounds of butter
will be available for each civilian in
1943, or about one pound every four
weeks, the Food Distribution adj
ministration disclosed.
Increases in our own military re-
quirements as we'll as those of our
Allies and the necessity for main
tanning imports of strategic war ma
terials were responsible in part" for
the reduced inventories, ration Of
6cials stated.

WAGES & PRICES:
Labor LOOKS UpUard

Organized 1abor's clash with the
government over wage controls
drew disquietingly closer as the
American Federation Of Labor, the
CLIO and John L. Lewis United Mine
Workers made known their stand.
Conferring at the White House,
William Green, AFL president, and
Phillip Murray, CIO chief, protested
to President Roosevelt that the cost
of living was getting out Of bounds"
and said that there was increasing
dissatisfa ction among labor's rank
and file.
Previously, bushy-browed Lewis
had announced a demand for So
day pay increase in the bituminous
coal industry, effective April l.
The impending crisis in wage con-
troll was further emphasized when
the War Labor board beset by in
creasing demands for pay increases
asked Sterilization Director James
F.. Byrnes whether the Little SteeT'
wage ceiling formula should be re-
vised upward This yardstick which
has been applied to numerous indus
tries allowed the WLB to grant wage
increases Of Is per cent above the
levels of January 1, 1941, and was
designed to match rising living costs
between that date and May /, 1912.
This problem was dropped in Mr..
Byrnes' lap, because any upward
wage revision would have consumer
repercussions and jeopardize the adj
ministration's entire wage stabiliza-
ton and price pegging program.

FARM LABOR:
Army to Help?

Many a Washington official has
lain awake nights trying to find a
solution for the critical farm labor
shortage.
Latest suggestion for relieving the
shortage is to apply method used
by Union and Confederate armies in
the Civil war-furlough soldiers with
farm experience to help with har-
vests and other seasonal farm jobs.
Observers believed that creation Of
this farm army would be undertaken
jointly by the war department and
the War Manpower commission and
the department Of agriculture. 1t
was estimated that 100000 soldiers
might be detailed for this needed
task.
Alternately under consideration by
top manpower authorities was pro-
posa1 to utilize battalions Of army
men still on military assignment for
farm work.

INCOME TAX:
March IS Still DeadIir1e

Neither the Rurnl plan to 'for-
give" all taxes on 1912 income, nor
the u. S. treasury departments pro-
posal to double up collections Of both
1912 and 1943 taxes will be adopted,
members of the house ways and
means committee definitely indicat-
ed.
One fact appeared certain. Forty
four million American taxpayers
will be compelled to file income tax
returns by the March Is deadline,
on the basis of 1912 income.
A pay-as-you-go withholding tax
procedure will be set up later. Most
observers predicted July as the
date. This apparently would be a
compromise measure embodying
some but not all of the Ruml pro-
posals and the treasury's recommen-
dations.

The Japs used a reverse Eng
lish" technique in reporting the
battle. This consisted of radio an
nouncements telling of overwhelm-
ing American naval superiority in
the Guadalcanal area, Of the pres
ence of 10 American Warships and
10 aircraft carriers. BY employing
such fantastic figures, observers be-
lieved the Jap high command was
preparing the public back home for
bad news.
To reinforce the efforts Of Amer
lean naval units in the Solomons and
divert the enemy's attention, Allied
bombers battered the Jap airdrome
at BUN in the northern Solomons
and attacked enemy concentrations
at Rabaul in New Britain.
Meanwhile American army units
continued a slow advance on Guadal-
canal, occupying new positions west
of the Bonegi river, 10 miles west
of Henderson air1eld.

U-BOAT BASES:
Concrete Is Solid

Ten feet of solid concrete separat-
ed Raj bombs from the German
submarines they were dropped to
blast in Germany's super-U-boat
base at Lorient on Frances Bay Of
Biscay. But British f1iers kept up
their logged attacks night after
night, for submarines remained the
chief menace to Allied success in
Europe.
British reports said that existing
pens under concrete at Lorient could
accommodate 20 submarines at a
time, while another set of pens under
construction could take 10 more.
Air warfare against submarine
sources was not confined to the bases
from which they embarked. Bomb
er attacks continued to be directed
against cities where U-boats parts
are manufa ctured, such as Essen,
Dusseldorf, and Cologne, as well as
Copenhagen, Denmark, where SUBJ
marine diesel engines are made. In
addition, Raj bombers strafed other
industrial cities, including Turin,
seat Of Italy's airplane engine in
dustry.

AXIS STOOCES:
Shopv litter Signs

Signs of political and economic
crack-up at the northern and south
ern extremities of Germany's Euro
pean front were indicated in reports
limiting increasing unrest in Finland
and Rumania.
Reports reaching neutral Stock
holm, related that Finland, fearing
further Russian offensives in the
north, was growing desperate. The
Firms situation was further compn-
Gated because of food shortages and
the inability Of the Nazis to send
them assistance. Public anger had
been reused over statement by
Field Marshal Goering that Rus
sia's 1899 war on Finland was only
a bluff.
The Runanian situation was said
to be growing more critical because
Of heavy losses on the Russian front.
Turkish sources reported that Mar
shall Ion Antonescu, Runanian die
tator, had begun to despair of his
country's position. 1t was estimated
that Rumania had lost approximate
1y $4,000 men killed in Russia and
nearly $4,000 were wounded and
taken prisoners.

as only a prelude to more woeful
news ahead.
For it had become increasingly
clear that the German retreat in
Russia had long since passed the
stage of an orderly withdrawal and
had reached the proportions of
rout in many places. Relentlessly
the Russians had built up their Of
fensive's momentum, smashing into
the Ukraine, narrowing the circle
around Rostov and threatening Hit
ler's harassed Caucasus forces with
a Black sea Dunkirk at Novoros-
sisk.
Matter of-fact Soviet communi-
ques told the story Of German re-
verses. These included the reoccu-
patton by Red troops of Zolotukhino,
only % miles above Kursk on the
Kursk-Orel railroad, thus cutting the
main Nazi supply line to the north;
the recapture Of Kupyansk and with
it the control of an entire rail net
work; and the seizure of Kuschev-
skaya, below Rostov on the Rostov-
Baku railway, the biggest system in
the Caucasus.
The loss of Kuschevskaya was
particularly bitter to the Nazis. Russ
possession of this city which COM
mands a railroad spur leading to
the Black sea, threatened to isolate
huge German forces already under
attack at Novorossisk, the large
Nazi-held port on that sea. 1t had
been believed Hitler would try to
use Novorosissk for the evacuation
of his Caucasian army if the city Of
Rostov were regained by the Rus
SLAMS.

MERCHANT SEAMEN :
Heroisn, UNPARALLELED

The heroic part Americas 10000
merchant seamen have played in the
front line of combat on the high seas
was dramatized by report issued
by Rear Admiral Emory S. Land Of
the War Shipping administration
which disclosed that the percentage
of losses in personnel due to Axis
U-boats and bombers was three
times as great as that of the u. S.
armed forces in the first year Of the
war.
Numerically, losses Of merchant
sailors totaled 5000 including dead
and missing, or 38 per cent of the
total during the wars first year. In
the same period the U. S. armed
forces lost less than / per cent of
their men.
Admiral Lands report, transmit
ted through owl Director Elmer
Davis, discounted rumors Of labor
trouble or other discomfort among
merchant seamen. Praising the
doughty seamen for facing the perils
of Axis torpedoes in delivering war
goods to troops abroad and to our
Allies, Admiral Land declared they
had shown patriotism, courage and
devotion to duty"

ers $7,400, 000,0 or an average Of

basis of a computation of how much
money farmers would have been

buy and on operating expenses If
there had been no government con-

Eden placed full responsibility for
settling North African controversies

the French intended to follow this
advice was indicated by the creation
of a fve-man commission by the
imperial council in Algiers to under
take internal reforms. One of these
was the restoration to their posts

Weekly Letter

Sgt. Manuel Escalada,
Photographer de Luxe, U. S. Army,
Somewhere in Africa, Italy or
Git won't be long) Berlin.
Dear Manuel:
Was up to your brother Louie's
house the other night. That kid OF
his is sure little dandy. He was
telling me what he hoped Santa
Claus would bring him when he
comes down their chimney. Well,
if Santa Claus can climb up on that
roof after hiking up that hill, I'll
believe in him. He's better man
than I am-but, then, who isn't?
I suppose everyone in Africa, Italy
and Viewpoints knows by this time
that I am a grandfather-what a
kid! q mean the grandson, not me-
I carry a picture around with me,
and have it worn out showing it to
everyone I meet, especially the
ladies. They all say, "Oh, isn't he
darling? My, isn't he lovely? Oh,
1 could just take him and squeeze
him. etc., etc. Won't their faces
be red when they find out it's a
picture of me when was kid?
I'm going to hold some of them to
their word, especially one beautiful
red-head. Voice from the kitchen:
''That'S what you think.')
AS long as I am cluttering up this
letter talking about myself and my
pictures-do you remember that
picture hanging on the wall in the
Montezuma Cantina of Jack Demp-
sey and me? Well, some proud
cattleman has a picture of two prize
bulls right alongside of our picture
The other day two ladies from Tue
son were in at the bar and one said
to the other, aren't those two
wonderful looking bulls?" And the
other girl said, "I'll say! I wonder
who's the one on the right with the
double chin?" Lady, that sounds
like a lot of bull.
That's about all, Manuel, except
you might send Louie a closeup
action picture of the bombing and
burning of that lousy paper hanger S
boarding house Be sure he's in it
not the picture but the house. You
know, something nice-plenty fire,
etc., so Louie can hang it in the
fire-houSe.
Best regards,
MARTY.

ISP APPEALS TO
PUBLIC TO CUT
HOLIDAY TRIPS

Anticipating heavy demands from
furloughed service men and women
for train accommodations during
the coming holiday period, Southern
Pacific is appealing to civilians to
limit themselves to most urgent
trips during the period December
II through January 10.
eve expect that more than 80 per
cent of our train space will be re-
quested by service personnel and
essential business travellers, said
F. S. McGinnis, vice president in
charge of passenger traffic. "Also
there will be heavy demands for
tickets to training camps by rela-
tives of men who are unable to OBJ
tain furloughs. We are counting
upon the public to refrain from un-
necessary travel so that service men
and women may enjoy Christmas
trips or visits from members of their
families"
Action by Southern Pacific last
summer, requiring advance reserva-
ton of seats for coach trips, has
almost entirely eliminated the over
crowding of it's trains, according to
McGinnis. '"These coach reServa-
tions," he explained, "are not made
by telephone, but at the time tick
cts are purchased.
