1t may we'll be. however, that
earlier failures will not be
repeated in a world which has
learned o f its interdependence
through two world wars.
Postwar plans for monetary
stability which recognize the in
terplay between national and in
ternational forces may both pre-
vent the deliberate depreciation
of currencies by nations seeking
advantage for their exports n
world markets. and by nations
facing internal economic crises.
Obviously to produce such plans
our national leaders must p.
proach their task from the most
broadminded point of view.
The public should encourage

those of world trade based on
guarantees of fairness and sta

Chief BRINGS JOY

Varied are the compensatioDs
to be enjoyed at doing our full
best to bring joy to the hearts of
men in the armed service. Men,
DRY of the good deeds that are
being done by the Browning War
Mothers will be forever treasured
by them. Whoever re m i n d 8
them in these dark days that
back home the camp is being
tended for their happy return is
doing far more then he realizes.
No one could have enjoyed
happier moment this week than
The Chief at receiving an air
mail letter from Cp. William J.
Weatherwax, who is somewhere
in the Pacific war zone.
Without news of the home town
for months. he recently asked US
to send him some copies of The
Chief. This we did and the air
mail letter acknowledging r e.
ceipt of them contained the fol-
lowing words of appreciation:
Il received your papers tonight
and was so glad l just didn't
know what l was doing for
awhile. Boy, l sure like to hear
from home, and thanks million
for the papers. You did me
million dollar eavor.'
Simple deeds we do for men in
the armed service are more than
that after their influence have
spanned time and space to reach
the beneficiary.
There's magic in good deeds,
and for all blessed compensations.

Railroad Groups Contend They Are Entitled 10
 Separate Overtime

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31-Fifteen railroad incorporating unions have rejected President Roosevelt's pro- posed basis for arbitrating the wage dispute and insisted they are en- titled to a ruling on overtime in- dependent of every other consider atiOn.
 The refusal was contained in a reply to one from the President yesterday and said. We don't agree to arbitration on the basis you pro- pose" They said sliding scale of increases of four to ten cents which they accepted was allowed to cor rect the substantial conditions and wage rate relationships and assert ed:
 Certainly sub-standard wages do not depend on rates paid for over time To suggest now the possibili- ty that incorporating unions should directly or indirectly purchase time and one half after forty hours by giving up part of the overtime or reducing the meager wage rate ad- justments granted by Stabilization Director Vinson would, in our opin- ion, be a gross injustice and do vio- lence to the prevailing wage deter imitation policies"
 The President had Jumped to- gether the sliding scale increases and overtime, but the unions con- tend the sliding scale increases are removed from the area of arbitra- tion by their acceptance of them.
 The President said in his letter that the four to ten cents raise would not be disturbed, but gave no assurance that overtime compensa- tion should not thereby be reduced.

Itkes preditis beifer Fish Pack During 1914;
 SaysMore Boafs Coming

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 < Next years fish production for the Unit ed States and Alaska will reach four billion or more pounds is the fore cast of Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes, Fisheries Coordinator.
 This would exceed the yields of the last two years, but would still be below normal production, which is estimated at 100000, ,000 pounds.
 Ickes predicted that the Alaska catch will be at least as large as last season, and salmon poundage will probably be greater.
 He based his prediction on the hope that improved production is expected and more vessels will be available. New vessels have been re- ported since last July. and materials have been allotted for 528 new boats, while 261 are expected to be com pleted this year plus l43 in the first quarter of 1944. 72 in the sec ond quarter, 4l in the third and II in the fourth.
 The demand for engines for the Navys landing barge program may delay completion of fishing boats in some cases, he said
 Ickes also reported that the fail ure of the industry to meet produc- ton goals in the last two years IS explained by the government requi- sitioning of more than TOO craft. Some have been returned to their owners, however.

DEADLOCK ON BURMA

Just prior to this, the President had been listening to detailed plan for opening the Burma Road. given him by General B. B. Somervell, head of the Army Service Forces. Somervell had sold the President a bill of goods. So, in greeting the Generalissimo, the President waxed enthusiastic over the question Of a Burma campaign and told Chiang of the plans to reopen the Burma Road and get supplies to long-suf- fering China.
 Naturally, the Generalissimo was delighted.
 But later, when they sat down in the three -cornered conferences with Churchill, the Prime Minister is re- ported to have said No" He was most unenthusiastic and uncooper- atiye about Burma campaign. His reasons presumably were the same as those expressed and apparent in the past, namely that Indian troops will not fight for British reconquest of Burma, also that it would be unwise to let Chinese troops fight in Burma. Without native troops, it would obviously be difficult to

Dopesfers Betting On Peculiar Sweep,
 House Republicans
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-People who keep track of such things are speculating on the startling pos sibility that the Republicans could take over majority control of the House of Representatives even be- fore the next general election.
 You can get bets any time that the COP will sweep into firmly es- tablished power in the election, but two factors may combine to give the Republicans an unsatisfying sort of piecemeal House victory be- forehand.
 Those two factors are death and resignation.
 The Democrats battled their way out of last years elections with 222 House seats-a slim majority but one regarded at that time as wide enough to carry them through this Congress
 Now there's at least some likeli- hood that it won't see them through.
 Latest Republican pickup was the election of one of their number to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Rep. Edward w. Creal in Ken tucky's normally Democratic fourth district. Still vacant are the seats belonging to Pennsylvania's and Oklahoma's second districts, left empty by the resignations of Demo- crats; and Colorado's first district vacant because of the death of Democratic Rep. Lawrence Lewis.
 Still another vacancy may occur if Rep. Albert Gore, Tennessee Democrat, is inducted into the armed forces. He has said he will waive the exemption to which he is entitled because of being member of Congress when his number comes up. which he expects to happen soon.
 Not that any Republican would wish it to happen so-but if death does claim enough Democrats, and if Republican president is elected next year, the situation will be a parallel in reverse of what hap pened dozen years ago when President Roosevelt came in on the great Democratic landslide.
 It was the COP which came out of the 1880 off-year congressional election with scant majority. It held its majority, with Republican President Hoover in. the White Heuse, through that last Lame

The W ashington Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON txa,or Robert .. Allan on active dutso

WASHINGTON-CapitolH Hill has been highly intrigued by some of the inside details of what is reported to have happened at Cairo ana Teheran, as brought back by U. 5. advisers
 The Cairo conference got off to an unfortunate start when General issimo Chiang Kai-Shek arrived at the airport with neither the Presi- dent nor Prime Minister Churchill there to greet him. Just by luck, General Joseph Stilwell, American Commander in China, was at the airport and did the honors as best he could. However, General Stilwell has had to say No" to the Chinese so many times and his face has be- come so familiar to Chiang, that his presence at the airport was consid- cred nothing to cheer about.
 AS Churchill and Roosevelt had been trying for some time to get together with Chiang, and as the Chinese are considered about the most neglected of the United Ma tions, the President felt that the least he and Churchill could have done was to meet Chiang at the airport. Therefore. when FDR heard about the oversight, he rushed over to the Generalissimo's headquarters to pay an official visit.

MOSCOW, Dec. 31. Russian forces, streaming through the great est hole yet torn in the Nazi de- lenses. have broken into the outer Bug River defenses and in driving offensive have split the routed rem- nants of von Mannstein's legions and have reached to within 30 miles of the river itself.
 Frontline dispatches said a Rus sian column is sweeping toward the Bug, Germany's next line of defense along the south central front.
 West of the Dnieper River thrust down the Kiev-Zhmerinka railway has opened deep wedge in the reeling Nazi army. General Vatu- tins vanguards are reported within 43 miles of the old Polish border and within 90 miles of where the Dnie- ster River forms Rumania's old eastern boundary.
 One Supply Line Left
 With the Warsaw-Smela railway severed at captured Kazatin only one supply line remained open to the retreating Nazis before the main Odessa -Lwow line itself was en- dangered. That only supply line from Poland winds southeastward through the Ukraine. The Red Army advance carried to within 20 miles of the supply line, and the cutting of this line would mean that all supplies to Nazi forces in the

BULLETIN = LONDON. Dec. 3l. - Zhitomir, the important railway center in the Ukraine, which has been outflanked by Gen. Vatutin's First Ukrainian Army, now rushing toward the old Polish- Rumanian borders, has fallen, according to an of- ficial statement issued in Mos COW. At the same time the cap- ture of more than 60 places is announced in the drive west of Nevel to the north.
 A broadcast, recorded by the Soviet monitor here. says q great battle was waged for Zhitomir as the result of it's strategic position on the Leningrad -<sdes- sa railroad connecting both north and south Russia.
 It's capture seals the Russian hold on the line already cut by the Russian seizure of Korosten and Nevel and other points to the north. Forces of the Ger mans, more than ever, must now rely on 2 rail system 10 miles to the west for q link betWeen their northern and southern armies.
