that victory was hailed as a signal
triumph since Zhitomir is a first

after this capture the Russians con-

The London press is pretty sore
about it and is asking the govern

reasons why the islands could not
be held.
There is another reason why the
newspapers in England direct their
criticism against the British govern

released Sir Oswald Mosley and his
wife from the prison where they had
been shut up since 1910: they were
known as the most dangerous of all
British-born Nazis; in spite of that
fact, they are now free, and the gov

not be taken care of in a modernly

Hiking Tough? Use
Horse On Deer Hunt

When walking is too tough on
your deer hunting trip, get a
horse
This idea was developed in the
season Just closed. by Warren
Derr, Beroun hunter. who found
il somewhat difficult TO get
around in the woods because of
age and avoirdupois. Enjoying
his hunting now as much as in
his younger days, he had horse
trucked to him in northern Min
nesota and with a big red blanket
strapped on the animal, rode
through the woods in search of
deer.
1t is reported he bagged his
deer without too much effort in
this manner, and without violat-
ing any game regulations.

Ask Cooperation
For Handling OF
RecordHogCrop
WA Reports Temporary
Clut i'm Some Markets
And Packing Centers.

In an effort to establish orderly
marketing and handling Of this
years record hog production the War
Food Administration is appealing 70
all producers, packers and other mar
keting interest for cooperation. Pro-
ducers are warned to get in touch
with their marketing agency before
shipping hogs, to make sure they can
be handled as the seasonal increase
has resulted in temporary glut IN
some markets and packing centers.
Supporting Hog Prices.
The VIA is supporting hog prices
at S13.75 Chicago basis for good ana
choice 200-270 pound hogs by pro-
viding market for all of the pork
and pork products packers produced
in excess Of the quantity needed for
the civilian rationing program and
at price which will enable them to
pay producers not less than the sup
port price.
Furthermore, as civilian demand
for pork continues to exceed the
civilian supply at ceiling prices, no
seasonal decline in pork prices is IN
prospect. Packers. therefore. have in
dicated willingness to buy at the
support level all the hogs they can
handle. Steps are being taken TO as
sist packers in securing additional
labor so that more hogs may be
handled.
Chicago Prices Used.
While the support level is ex-
pressed in terms of Chicago. war
agencies are buying pork that is
offered by all federally inspected
plants regardless of their location as
a means Of supporting the general
level Of hog prices throughout the
country at not less than the support
basis. The support program. there
fore. should result in the maintenance
of hog prices at points other than
Chicago in normal seasonable rela-
tionship with the stated support level
at Chicago.
The hog marketing and price sup
port situation was recently discussed
with producers, packers, and market
ing interests at a series of confer
ences in the Corn Belt. All interested
agencies expressed the opinion that
through concerted action and COOP
Grafton. orderly marketing can be
accomplished and the record hog
supply marketed at the price support
level or higher.

There is story current that
conference between Franklin Roose-
Welt. Winston Churchill and jose
Stain may take place very soon -
probably in Cairo, il is said - anc
that further discussion of the wal
problems is scheduled for the occa-
sion. Such a purpose is, naturally
obvious, so, there is nothing startling
in that part of the report.
But what is of unusual interest
is the suggestion - said to have
been more or less officially en-
braced - that the conference
consider for its chief task that
of making a direct and stirring
appeal to the German people to
overthrow Hitler and Nazism.
and then pave the way for peace.
What makes this part of the rumol
seem rather plausible is the fact that
appeals of this kind were made tc
the Italian people who were urged
to get rid of Mussolini. The appeal
was effective, Mussolini was kicked
out of office. and soon thereafter
Italy signed an armistice agreemen,
with the United Nations.
Zhitomir.
OF course, the military aspects OF
the world conflict will have the first
place on whatever program may be
prepared for the coming conference
and there is still lot to think about
in this connection. Stain, for in
stance, will have plenty to say
about the tremendous Russian Soviet
effort, and may also once more bring
up the question of what is known as
''the Second Front"
Most recent events have pro-
vided a powerful background for
this, the reason being that for
the first time in more than four
months the Nazis have compelled
the Russian armies in the Ukraine
to retreat in one sector.
