PEACE IN '43:
Hope of Pope

Calling on the leaders of the war
ring nations to appreciate their tre-
mendous responsibility for the fate
of the people, Pope Plus XII ap-
pealed to them to answer mankind's
common prayer for peace, bread
and work"
Recalling the tragedy of broken
treaties, agreements and promises
that preceded the war, Plus XII i'm
plored the nations leaders to devel-
op a sincere program for peace.
Because of the savage turn the
conflict has taken as result of the
destructiveness of modern warfare,
Plus XII said men have come to
question whether continuation of hos
tilities can still conform to national
interest or remain reasonable and
iustifiable.
Concluding, Plus XII hoped that
1943 would not end without the war
ring populations being comforted by
the prospect of brotherly reconcilia-
ition and peaceful, industrious re-
construction. He hoped this could
be brought about by the wisdom of
the different leaders.

BERLIN:
In Ruin

Once, Herman Goering proudly
boasted that not one bomb would
drop on Berlin. Today, Germany's
No. 2 Nazi walks the streets of the
city, where gaunt and blackened
walls and piles of brick and mortar
rise in ghastly silhouette on all sides.
Bombed 72 times, staggered by a
series of gigantic RAF raids, Berlin
has been visited by all the horror of
modern war. Entire districts have
been wiped out, the extensive rail-
road system girdling the city has
been crippled, and gas, electric
and telephone utilities have been
disrupted after each big raid.
Following the latest assaults, 200,-
600 people were reported homeless.
To protect Berlin's essential in
dustry, 1000 Nazi fighter planes rose
to combat latest RAF attacks. Huge
six-inch barrel anti-aircraft guns
mounted in concrete threw up bar
RACES of steel shells.

MISCELLANY:

ELECTRICITY: Electric produc-
ton has risen to an all-time high of
more than 81 million kilowatt hours
a week, an increase of 19 per cent
over this time last year.
POTATOES: Idaho russet pota-
toes for January delivery sold at
new peak price for the year at $3.35
a hundred pounds on the Chicago
exchange recently.
RAILROADS: Income of all Class
I railroads for July is estimated at
$83 300, 900, a decline as compared
with June, and with July, 1912.
FARM LAND: Values of farm
land in the Seventh Federal Reserve
district, which comprises much of
the Middle West centering at Chi
cago, were up per cent in the sec
ond quarter as compared with the
first quarter of 1943, a report shows.
Iowa land marked up the largest
gain, IL per cent. A large proper
ton were for cash, bankers say.

BOOM TIMES:
Farm Income Rises

AS a result mostly of increases
in receipts from food grains and
vegetables, farm income for July ap-
proximated 1k billion dollars, to
bring earnings for the seven months
of 1943 to 9 billion, 700 million dol
lars, the department of agriculture
reported.
In July, government payments
amounted to 35 million dollars, while
for the seven months, they totaled
435 million dollars.
According to the department, in
come from food grains and vegeta-
bles during July was more than sea-
sonal, while the decrease in receipts
from livestock was less.
Retail Sales High
Sales continued to keep ahead of
prices during the seven months of
1943, the department of commerce
reported. While sales were 63.8 per
cent greater than in the 1853 pc
riod, prices were only 33.9 per cent
higher.
Although business maintained an
active level, there were signs that
shortages of merchandise might be-
gin to affect total business. In terms
of dollars based on cost values, in
ventories were % per cent lower in
July than they were a year ago.

RATION POINTS:
Raise Values

To conserve the very limited sup
ply of canned goods, the War Food
administration has increased the
point values on 13 items. Three dried
fruits, previously on the free list,
are now rationed. Point values on
eight items have been lowered.
Gamers predict a smaller pack
in fruits and vegetables in the face
of increased demand from military
and lend-lease officials, as well as
civilian buyers. Canned peaches,
pears, apples and cranberries in
particular have been moving off
dealers shelves too swiftly, VIA
spokesmen said.
Vegetables in cans or bottles that
were raised in point value include
beans of all kinds, corn, peas, spin
ach and tomato sauce. Raisins,
prunes and dried apples have been
returned to the ration list.

CASUALTIES:
$40 Dead. Missing

With heavy fighting still to get un-
der way, American casualties in the
war to date total more than 100,
with 55,476 of these either dead or
missing. The rest were wounded.
The army's casualties number Co.

391 wounded, of whom 8,748 have
left the hospital or returned to duty;
q, ,406 missing, and 1854 prisoners.
Of the navy's 21,556 casualties,
7,S40 were killed; 1883 wounded; ;

At Adolf Hitler's headquarters,
the Nazi war chiefs spent four days

Shipping Dehydrated Food

Because so much of the food be-
ing shipped abroad today has been
dried, dehydrated or compressed,
any American freighter of medi-
um size is able to carry the entire
annual yield of nearly 1000 aver
age farms, or, roughly, 60o,00C
acres.

FOOD:
More Meat

Civilians were assured Of bigger
meat supplies with the War Food
administrations order lifting the
quotas on packers slaughter for Sep
tember and October. Under the Or
der packers will be able to butcher
and distribute pork, veal, lamb and
mutton freely, but they still will have
to set 40 per cent of beef produc-
ton aside for the services.
The order also provided that pack
ers must continue payment of sup
port prices for hogs. VIA decided
on the order to avoid congesting
packing houses later in the season
and relieve the tight feed situation.
Supplies Up
Record meat and fowl production
is expected to lift the total U. S.
food output for 1943 approximately
5 per cent over last year and 80 per
cent above the pre-war average.
Balancing 9 per cent drop in grain
and other crops, will be an estimat-
ed 10 per cent boost in livestock
marketing. However, government
claims to the food supply, will hold
civilian consumption to present
levels.
In making its predictions, the de-
partment of agriculture reported
that continued drouths in the South
west and sections of the Midwest
threatened late crops. In some
areas, the department said, pastures
dried up, and stock died from lack
of water. Conditions were described
as especially serious in Arkansas
and Oklahoma.

SOUTH PACIFIC:
Bomb Jap Outpost

Taking off from two aircraft car
riers, 160 American bomber and
fighter planes flew over the Japa-
nese air and radio base of Marcus
island, and ripped up its airport,
fuel dump and communication in
stallations.
Approximately 1880 miles south
east of Tokyo, Marcus island serves
as Japan's stepping stone to her
great naval base of Truk, and other
South Pacific possessions from
which the American supply line can
be menaced. Attack on Marcus was
seen as prelude to large scale ac-
tion to wipe out the outposts from
which the enemy could slash at the
enlarged American fleet in its broad
ening operations.
In New Guinea, the U. S. air force
co-operated with ground troops clos

MINERS:
To Court for PAY

Their plea for pay for under

War Labor board, the United Mine
Workers filed suit in federal court
in Birmingham, Ala, for such pay.
Under present conditions, the min
ers work on a 35-hour week. In re-
fusing the miners request for under
ground travel time pay, the WLB
said that under the fair labor stand
ards act, they were not entitled to
extra compensation until the work
week exceeded 40 hours.
Decision in the Birmingham case
will determine the underground
travel time pay issue for miners
throughout the entire country.
