 But the 'GI" boys had forgotten the ogre that al ways enters the picture when ones away from his for mer habues. Once the novelty of the trip wore off there into the picture great measure of lonel- ness and keen desire to once again those they loved and cherish This has proved of our mili- tary folk here just as it would with any other.
 situation of this kind is more or less unbeatable Yet the citizens of Nome have tried hard to overcome it. and great percentage of the GI" folk are now en- gagged in work and recreation which has eased their feelings and has tended to make of the civic life of Nome, more interesting to both the military and the civilian populations.
 Softball teams have been organized musical organ zaons have sprung up service clubs have been start ed We-appointed restaurants greet the G-I boys on their arrival in the city There is talk of military male chorus in the future. Dances are being held reg ularly In short the GI" boys are not as bad off as has been pictured in recent stories the Outside press Nome citizens shall never forget the good work be- ing accomplished by these "GI" boys under the direction of their capable leaders The hardships dured in accomplishing their goal shall always be re- membered by Nome's citizenry.
 And so, we say to these same "G-I" boys:
 "The future of Nome has been aided greatly by your work May suggest great appreciation"

HOLLYWOOD STAR-LITES
 By Chuck COchard

HOLLYWOOD, (Exclusive) - The year 1943 is stumbling along to a close-and Hollywood ex- perts are looking over the hori- zon to another 12-month period.
 The year just passing brought numerous changes in the Holly wood picture It saw war pictures whittled down to a min imum and the advent of big super-duper, multi-starred musi- calls in all-color.
 The present year failed to bring forth any sensational new stars, although a few of the new corners give promise It saw many of the screens glamour gals become mothers, and many others become brides.
 It saw new type of hysteria among the bobby-sockers when a crooner croons, and it saw many of our biggest stars overseas and hundreds of others making

CRUISER CAMPAIGN OVER NOV. 3Oth

The circular letter sent out by Governor Gruening to the people of the Territory suggesting that small contributions be made to the Cruiser Alaska Gift Fund.-, was published in The Nome Mug get several weeks ago. November 30th is the closing date for con- tributions to this fund.
 Most of us believe it is fitting and proper to perpetuate a cus- tom which has been followed in the United States for many years the presenting of gift to the naval vessel by the state or city for which the ship is named.
 We may we'll be proud that one of the finest and latest ships of the navy is about to take the name of our great Territory. Let us all find ways and means of making small contribution to this most worthy cause.

scores of appearances for men in the service here It saw more top stars go into the armed services, to join the hundreds al ready there.
 Fewer pictures were made in l943, and budgets scared higher and higher :. A shooting sched- ule of five months and a budget of two to three million dollars is not unusual now.
 The year 1943 saw the profits of the fabulous Gone With the Wind' pass the $30,000,OO0 mark : It saw Capt. Clark Gable get an air medal and Lieutenant Commander Robert Montgomery invalided home after fine rec ord in the South Pacific (he's back in service again) It saw bigger and better prices paid for stories and plays and it saw one company hang up an annual prize of $l25,O 900 for the best book published each year.
 Yes, 1943 was an eventful year in Hollywood, and l944 should be an even more eventful period.
 r : The trade newspaper, Variety, has an interesting prediction :. It says that after the war all pictures will be color and that black and white films will be- come as extinct as silents .. Which will be interestingly true.

 Heels, the WIPE has ruled. must be reinforced at points of excessive wear. These endorsements will make more heel show above the shoe top.
 The WIPE ruled that manufac- turers could use seven basic colors for each six months period-so long as they confine five of the seven colors to each style of hosiery. This should make no change in stocking colors because most manufacturers are coniining their colors to fewer than seven.
 Men fared a little better under the new regulations-altholigh they had a narrow escape from being re- stricted to stockings from Q Ia to ii inches long. Most mems stockings HOW are IS inches long.
 Mems stockings remain at IS inches, although "fancy" patterns are now restricted as well as colOrs, Only seven colors are allowed in addition to white and service colors, although there is no limitation on the use of various colored yarns for decorative purposes.

DRAFTEES WRECK
 RAILWAY TROLLEY

Boston, April 2. - fUP) - An exuberant group of drafteeS enroute to an induction station wrecked a Boston elevated railway trolley car but today officials said they planned no prosecution.
 About 75 youths from east Boston shattered windows, broke lights and ripped up seats in a wild and noisy ride through the Boston subway yesterday.
 The wreckers were among 375 youths being transported by special cars to the induction center but became separated from the main group and so entered a regular car.
 A starter ordered regular passen- gers to leave and turned the car over to the inductees. Unable to control the youths. motorman John Halloran took them to their destina- ton and then proceeded to the rail- ways West Everett repair shops.

Washington, April 2-(UP)-The War Production Board directed a new broadside at feminine vanity today by banning manufacture of very sheer st kings and ordering rayon stocking to be made more "serviceable."
 Specifically, the WIPE eliminated "6O dernier" rayon full fashioned hosiery of ordinary quality. In the past. this stocking has represented the sheerest hosiery nade-and also the poorest wearing the WIPE said.
 Tn its place WIPE will allow ho- sleyy made Of 50 dernier semt-high tenacity yarns. which have greater strength but. unfortunately for the feminine leg. are not as sheer.
 WIPE officials tempered the order by suggesting that the more ser- viceable stockings will by no means approach in appearance the Brit ish utility" stockings which con- centrate on durability. American stockings will still be sheerer and finer. they said.
 The new WIPE regulations will re- Quire greater use Of stronger yarns, higher twist in yarns, and closer knlt. The stockings viii be better

BANKHEAD BILL q
 VETOED BY FOR
Roosevelt Describes Farm Parity Measure "InfIa.
 tiOnary in Character"
BY MERRIAAN SMITH

United Press stair CoEEespondentl
 Washington, April 2.-(UP)- President Roosevelt vetolng the Bankhead farm parity bill, today made clear his intention of waging Q strong fight to prevent either wages or prices from running out of the bounds imposed by the ad- ministration's anti-inflation pro- gram.
 '"rhe time has come," MT. Roose- welt said in a blunt message to the Senate explaining his veto, when all of us-farmers, workers, man. agerS and investors-must realize that we cannot improve our living standards in a period of total war.
 "On the contrary, we must all cut our standards of living for the dur ation."
 The bill, sponsored by Sen. John H. Bankhead, D, Ala, and backed by leading farm organizations, would prevent deduction of government benefit payments in computing farm parity prices. Parity in turn is the basis for establishment of maxi mum prices on farm commodities. price control law says those ceilings may not be less than 1i0 per cent of parity.
 The Bankhead bill, thus would increase price ceilings, and MT. Roosevelt said, add $l.OO0, 100000 to the nations civilian food bill.
 MT. Roosevelt told the Senate that mo one has fought harder than I to help the farmers get parity prices" in the past. But that par ity income goal, he said, "has been attained for the cooperating pro- ducers of all basic crops" and hence the Bankhead measure would go beyond the goal of parity income and give to these producers an unwarranted bonus at the expense of the consumer"
 Under the Bankhead biil," he added, "the price of sugar could rise a cent and a half pound. the price of bread might go up a cent Q loaf and the price of flour pro- portionately. The price of corn could rise almost 10 per cent, which might not necessitate, but would certainly call forth a demand for higher prices for hogs, and live stock, poultry. eggs. milk and other dairy products"
 Mir. Roosevelt said the bill was wholly inconsistent with our stab IlizatiOn program and, therefore

Other Strategic Targets In Tunisia Hit Despite Unfavorable Weather
Federal Government Grant Denied City
Waterbury Not to Receive $5OO,OOO to Aid COnstruc. ton Finances of Reservoir in Morris; Project
 Already Half Completed

Waterbury will not receive a $500,- 900 grant from the federal govern ment to aid in financing the con- Struction of the Pitch Reservoir in Morris, 1t was stated at meeting of the board of finance yesterday afternoon by City Controller Cor nelius F. Maloney as he explained a request to the board for autlIori- zation to sell at least $200, 900 more water bonds, Series of l94l.
 The federal grant. negotiated late in l94l by the late Mayor Vincent A. Scully and former Corporation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch, has been considered by local officials to have been an outright grant, involving no definite commitments from the city of Waterbury on the amount 1t might contribute towards tine cost of the reservoir. However, an ap- parent change in federal policy within the Federal Works Admiris- tration or a general misunderstand- ing locally now means that the city and federal government will share equally the cost of Pitch Reservoir,
 Should the reservoir cost be $l,- GOO, 900, Controller Maloney pointed out, then only would the federal governments share amount to $500,- 900. On the basis of revised esti- mates of the cost of the project, submitted by the controller at yes- terday's finance board meeting and furnished him by Citye Engineer Charles A. Root, the reservoir will now cost $e75.000 instead of the $69l, ,375 for which the contract was awarded early in i942 to the L. G Defelice & Son Co. of New Haven,
 On this basis the controller esti- mated that the city and federal government would each pay $437, 800, Of this amount both the city and government have contributed $300,- GOO each, with expectations that an additional $l37, 800 will be forthcom- ing from the government during the remaining construction period, the city to provide its share through the sale of the additional water bonds.
 Controller Maloney pointed out also that the city will conclude pay ments on the second pipe line in July when it hands over to the Lock Point Pipe Company and Tur- bine Equipment Co. retainment fees totaling $50 300. This money, he ex- plained, will also have to be pro- vided for from the sale of the $200.- GOO bond issue, as well as certain contingencies which might run as

 The Danish incidents were report. ed as German occupation authori- ties In Norway pressed Q large-Scalc search of the Hardanger Vidda, Q mountain plateau west of Bergen, for British and Norwegian ''parR- troopers" said to have established Q headquarters there.
 IA Swedish broadcast reported by the Federal Communications Com. mission and Reich Commissar Jo- sci Terboven had gone to Rjukan to watch the search for the sabo- teurg on the HardArger Vidda apla- teau." A Swedish press dispatch received by the OWI last Satur- day said that British planes during the winter had dropped nearly l. 900 parachutlgtS over Norway9
 British parachute saboteurs also had been reported active In France.
 The broadcasts gave no details of the Danish sabotage, but com rlained that Danes were cooperat- ing with the parachutists.
 "Thtngs had gone to such Q pitch that armed British parachutists can force their way into Danish indus trial plants and persuade the guards to keep quiet while they plant bombs" one broadcast directed to Denmark itself said.
 The British Broadcasting Cor poration, which picked up the Nazi broadcast, said the German an- nouncer went on to say that Den- mark "is the one country In Europe where acts of this kind could be carried on with the least risk and 1t seems that the precautlon taken against them by the Nazi authori- ties is not sufficient"
 The allegation that British para chutists have landed in Denmark followed closely on reports Of Q growing wave of sabotage in that country, so severe that Stockholm dispatches said the Germans had threatened mass executions the roundup of hostages and the imposi- ton of community fines unless in- cendiary fires and hoInbings ceased
 Reliable Danish sources in Lon- don said the Germans even might eliminate Danish control of civil administration. Ninety fires were said to have occurred in the past three months.
 Coincidental with the search for parachutists in Norway, 8 Russian Tass dispatch from Stockholm re- ported, Terboven clamped. a state of emergency over the Trondheim area of central Norway. Trondheim is the site of one of oermanys biggest naval bases on the Atlan- tic coast of occupied Europe.
