The question as to where the club
obtains the sizable income needed to
handle the large game restocking ap-
preparations made each year can be
understood by looking over the fol-
lowing figures submitted by the

During the past year the COM
mittee for the sale of hunting and
fishing licenses in Bluffton has done
a fine job and deserve this word of
thanks. There were $50 hunting
licenses sold amounting to $111.25.
The 373 fishing licenses brought in
$3.50. Denver Augsburger club di-
rector in charge of license sales re-
ports that Leon Hauenstein sold 344
hunting licenses, Sam Stepleton, Isl;
and L. A. Hardick, 81.
The same committee together with
two new dealers will serve in the
license sales under the club for this
year. The two additional members
are Charles Dillman of Dillman's
News Stand, and Don Forche of
Snow White Market, Beaverdam.
Some one said the early bird gets
the worm, but Aldine Kohl still is
puzzled as to what the Ringneck
Pheasant was wanting on his porch
the other day. All we can say is,
if he comes back "bounce him for
a membership to the club for this
year maybe he hasn't joined yet"

ATTU:
Remnants Resist

Entrapped in the mountains on the
northeast tip of Attu, Japanese rem
nants bitterly resisted the advance
of American troops slogged by sleet
and rain.
AS the Americans pressure in
creased, a formation of 16 Japanese
bombers flew in to raid ground posi-.
tons and shipping. A half dozen
American Lightning fighters rose up
to intercept the attackers, and the
army reported that two-thirds of the
enemy squadron was shattered.
The Japanese remnants made
good use of the high ground both
north and south Of the village of
Attu, their main supply base which
had been RACED by bombers. Ameri-
can troops bucked strong positions
which the enemy had carved into the
mo%untainside and on either side OF
the towering passes.
Meanwhile, American bombers
continued to pound the main Jap
Aleutian base at Kiska, 172 miles to
the east Of Attu.

FOOD CONFERENCE:
For Normal Cranary

Worldwide application of the prin.
ciple of the "ever-normal granary''
was suggested by Richard X. Law,
chairman of the British delegation
to the United Nations food confer.
ence at Hot Springs, Va.
Declaring that the world must de-
wise a system of international trade
which will assure the passage of food
from the producer to the consumer
at fair and stable prices, Law rec
commended building buffer stocks
which would be increased when sup
ply outran demand, and drawn upon
when output dropped.
Law hit the system of regulating
agricultural trade by allotting i'm
porters specific quotas, say on wheat,
etc. Instead, he advocated the ere
alton of an authority that would be
representative of the consumer as
well as the producer.
Laws statement was followed by
a suggestion of the American dele
cation that resettlement of millions
of people may be necessary to pro-
mote adequate food production. The
delegation said that only one-ffth of
the worlds population lived in those
areas in the temperate Zone in which
food is produced by highly developed
technology.

BOMBERS:
Pound Ais Europe

Allied bombers struck at both ends
Of Europe, with Axis industries and
defenses standing out as the targets.
Hit hardest by the raids was the
metal. coal and communication cen
ter Of Dortmund in northwestern
Germany. More than 1000 tons of
high explosives fell on the city, with
curling pals of smoke rising from
raging fires often obscuring visible
ity.
Thirty-eight of the bombers failed
to return from the attack, which
brought to 100. 900 tons the amount
of explosives dropped by the Raj
over Germany since the start Of the
war.
While the Allies were busy in the
north, their squadrons were equally
active in the Mediterranean e
where American and British bomb
ers continued to plaster important
enemy outposts of the Italian main
land.
Airdromes, harbors and shipping
installations we're pounded on the
islands of Pantelleria, Sardinia and
Sicily. The ferry linking Sicily with
Italy was blasted, with the enemy
admitting heavy damage.

COMINTERN:
Suspend Revolution

Stating the war had made it i'm
possible to coordinate its activity,
the Communist party's organization
for promoting world revolution
known as the Comintern formally
dissolved itself.
The action met with mixed emo
ton in Allied circles. While some
interpreted the move as a step to-
ward closer relations between Rus
STA and the United Nations, others
pointed out that in the U. S. the
Communists had formally detached
themselves from the Comintern in
1910, but maintained activity along
the party line nonetheless.
Although the Comintern stressed
that chief consideration for the dis
solution lay in it's inability to main
tain communication with its various
branches. it also declared that it
had recognized that national Com
munist groups were in better posi-
ton to frame and work out policies
on the scene, than in some distant
center.

RUBBER STRIKE:
Higher Pay Demanded

Fifteen thousand employees of the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber company
joined 80, 900 other workers from the
Firestone Tire and Rubber company
and the B. F. Goodrich company in
a strike protesting the War Labor
boards refusal to grant a requested
eight cent per hour wage increase.
1t allowed a three cent boost.
The strike paralyzed production in
the country's three major rubber
plants. Although Sherman H. Dali
rymple as International president of
the CLIO united rubber workers ex-
pressed public disapproval of the
stoppages, strong attachments of
pickets prevented the return of en-
ployees to the factories.
Dalrymple fastened to Washing
ton to confer with the WLB, while
an official of the war department
roundly condemned the stoppage as
a violation Of the unions no-strike
pledge. In declining to grant an
eight cent increase, the WLB said
such an action would u%nstabilize pay
levels throughout the industry.

COAL TRUCE:
Bargain Collectively

The United Mine Workers and the
coal operators resumed collective
bargaining Eve as the War Labor
board denied John L.. Lewis de-
mands for a 81 a day wage increase.
However, the WLB, which must ap-
prove any agreement. recommended
that the disputants come to terms on
the question Of paying miners for
the time spent in travelling to and
from the mine faces.
Also, the WLB indicated it favored
the six-day week for the miners,
with wage concessions for the extra
day. 1t ordered the vacation pay
ment boosted from 500 to $50. All
told, these payments would repre-
sent an 8 to is cents a day wage
increase.

PEARL
Final Accounting

Last February, workmen clam
bered over the 27-year-old hull of the
battleship Oklahoma, turned almost
upside down by the Japanese in their
attack IN Pearl Harbor, in Deem
Der, 1941.
The workmen tied cables to her
framework. The ends we're tied to
winches set up on shore. Then the
signal was given and the winches
began pulling on the cables. After
60 hours, the steady tug gradually
drew the Oklahoma from the depths,
righting her.
Salvaging Of the Oklahoma re-
duced the final loss at Pearl Har-
Dor to three ships-the battleship
Arizona and the d~estroyers Cassin
and Downes.
Repair restored the %battleships
California, Nevada and West Vir-
ginia and the destroyer Shaw, which
had been struck and heavily dam
aged.

FLOOD:
Thousands Homeless

More than 40, 900 families or 160,-
600 persons were made homeless by
raging flood waters that surged
through the Midwest, pouring over
into towns and covering thousands
Of acres of fertile farm land. Many
communities Joined with the Red
Cross in %sheltering the victims and
providing immunization to disease.
AS Food Administrator Chester C..
Davis called a conference of COVER
ors and agriculture commissioners
from six states to formulate a pro-
gram for farm production in the rain
and flood soaked areas, levees along
the Mississippi tottered as the dark
and muddy Father of Waters"
reached record crests.
At St. Louis, the Mississippi stood
at 1894 feet, highest in SO years, and
downstream at Cape Girardeau, it
reached 40.5 feet, tops in 100 years.
Even as these stages were being re-
corded, rolling torrents moved
toward the Mississippi from the swol-
len Illinois and Missouri rivers. All
along the Illinois side of the Mis-
sissippi levees cracked.
Adding to the flood, persistent
rains continued to hamper farmers
work in the fields. According to ex-
perts, planting will be delayed till
late in June, with harvests then de-
pending upon the time frosts will
appear in early fall.

POLL TAX:
Good Sho1v

Amid the gymnastics of a gallery
spectator, the house passed the anti
poll tax bill. 265 to ITO. The bill
abolishes the poll tax as a condition
of voting in primaries or other cleo
tons for national officers.
A 2l-year-old sailor from San
Francisco provided the acrobatics at
the session, standing on the gallery
rail and hanging onto a pillar while
shouting for passage of the bill.
In opposing the measure, Rep.
Hatton Summers of Texas said:
There is some expense TO democ-
racy. The individual who is unwill.
ing to pay Sl.50 or 50 isn't a good
citizen of this democracy"

DRESSES:

AS part of the effort to make more
garments from limited material, the
War Production board imposed new
controls on women's garments.
Trimming allowance for dresses
is restricted. Hip measurements
have been cut to Sc inches and sleeve
lengths to 80 inches on the basic
untrimmed dress. Skirt sweeps are
reduced six inches to 70 inches. The

would clear up the arrears in two
yearly payments, the first due in
March, 1914, and the next in 1945.
To put taxpayers IN a current

The 3 per cent victory tax would be
included. The 20 per cent would
cover the normal and first surtax.
Any liability outstanding would then

ct place - the biographies, War
books stir your patriotism, keep
YOU abreast of the times; fiction
provides enjoyment and relaxa-
ton. But for solid, page-for-
page value, the biographies are
rarely bested.
A good biography can give
your sagging personal spirits a
lift, inspire you to greater work
and greater achievements. 1t can
preserve ( a Ct ual background
better than an historical novel,
and it can be definitely enter

to your attention.
MAN OF SCIENCE
The name of Willard Gibbs Is
almost unknown to contempt
rary Americans, yet by his
achievements in creative scien-
tific thought the keystone was
laid for the great structure of
scientific and industrial progress
upon which we now so largely
depend.
In willard Gibbs: American
Genius Doubleday d r n:
So so Muriel Rukeyser pays
long overdue tribute to one of
Americas greatest minds and
traces lucidly the history of
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1943-03-06

Gibbs discoveries.
Gibbs, a professor at Yale
University, formulated the Phase
Rule in 1876 and in doing SO
propounded what has become
known as the Rosetta stone of
science BY showing that all
cases conform to the same laws
he enabled scientists TO interpret
data w h C h might otherwise
have remained dead in the lab
oratory.
Son of Josiah Gibbs, great
philologist, Willard Gibbs spent
almost all his life in New Haven.
With the exception of a few
years spent in study abroad, his
world was bounded by the green
elms and white houses of small
New England town. His mind,
however, knew no boundaries.
Exploring realms of mathemat-
ical conjecture in terms COM
pletely cryptic to the layman,
he yet evolved a language for
communication of his discoveries
which is still spoken by modern
scientists and upon whose gram
mar are based the technics by
which our scientific achieve
ments are made, including those
which are helping us win this
war of mechanization.
Miss Rukeyser has written
this biography with consummate
skill. Tackling a difficult task
of Interpretation she has yet
made clear the record of the
greatest creative scientific mind
America has yet known. "Wil-
lard Gibbs: American Genius"
is a difficult but infinitely re-
warding book.
MAN OF INVENTION
Less technical and equally in
teresting is The American Leo
nardo," biography of Samuel
F. B. Morse, by Carleton Mabee
(Knopf. So. Best known to us
today for his accomplishments
in the fields Of science and in
vention, Morse was equally we'll
known in his own time as a
painter. In fact, he combined in
his lifetime four careers - that
of artist, that of inventor, that
of businessman and financier,
and that of politician. AS a pol
itician, he was unsuccessful, but
in the other three fields he met
with distinguished success, de-
spite the more than usual diff
culties and misfortunes which
were entailed.
In this portrait of Morse. Ma
bee has painted excellently a
whole period as reflected in the
colorful personality of one of its
representative men. Write n
skillfully. 1.-The American Leo
nardo" is highly recommended
as a first-rate study of a dis
tinguished American and his
time.
The world will not forget
