NEW YORK, April 6.-Michael
Kalinin, President of the Soviet
Union, declared in an article read
over the Soviet radio yesterday to
the Russian people that Hitler's
plans for a war of attrition would
fail just as his plan of a lightning
war had collapsed, the Office>of War
Information reported.
The broadcast, recorded by United
States Government monitors, quoted
Kalinin as saying:
He (Hitler) hopes that by means
of total mobilization he will be able
to pick clean all occupied Europe.
Hitler hopes that the nerves Of
the German people will turn out to
be stronger than those of his op-
poncnts. He thinks that our mate
rial situation will no longer endure
such strain. Hitler is gambler. = r
The German Fascists want to
compete in endurance, tenacity and
staying power with three countries
the Soviet Union, Britain and the
United States. They are throwing
the bulk of their forces against us,
thinking that they will disorganize
our economy, paralyze the initiative
of our Army and the peoples will to
struggle.
Hitler miscalculated in his blitz-
krieg. He will invariably miscalcu-

AS for the Allied air offensive from
Britain against German submarine
pens along the English Channel
coast, Mr.. Knox said it was hard to
tell results, but you can assume that
the bombings must have embarrassed
the Germans some for even if it did
not destroy the pens it at least de-

the situation was about in status

A reporter suggested that the
much heavier bombing offensive
against the Japanese base on Kiska
Island, beginning in March, seemed
to indicate that our positions in the
Andreanof Island had been eX-
tended or advanced toward Kiska.
Asked whether that was true, Mr..
Knox replied that we aren't telling

regularly, but whether they are In
bad shape was something he did
not know.

90 Livestock Groups
Seek 10 Scrap Quotas
Based on Al Supply
Delegation Sent Here
To Urge U. S. Purchases
Vary With Meat Output

ES the Associated Press
CHICAGO, April 6-Initial efforts
of the newly formed Livestock and
Meat Council, composed of SO or
ganizations in the livestock indus
try, will be directed toward equaliz-
ing the supply and demand of meat,
spokesman for the council said
today.
The new council, which has such
diversified groups as the American
Meat Institute, representing meat
packers, and the National Livestock
Marketing Association, representing
producers, in its membership, was
organized last week end.
Members Visit Washington.
The council spokesman, who asked
anonymity. said representatives had
gone to Washington to seek as
surances from the Government that
Federal purchases of meat hence
forth will be based on the amount
of livestock coming to market.
A fundamental point in the coun-
ellis program is that Government
buying should be made on day-to-
day basis, considering the amount
of animals arriving at livestock CEN
ters on each specific day.
At present Government buyers
may withhold purchases for some
time and then send telegraphic
orders to packers for a great guam
tity of meat, the spokesman ex-
planned. The packers then must
search their plants for the meat,
stripping their coolers bare and
leaving little, if any, for the civilian
population.
If the council is successful in its
efforts, all quota systems utilizing
194l as a base year would be abol-
ished.
Seek to Help Packers.
1--WE want the Government to
arrange its buying so that the
amount of meat available to civil
ians will be a percentage of present
slaughter, and not an arbitrary per-
centage of the amount of meat pro-
duced back in 1941," the spokesman
said.
Livestock producing organizations
which are members of the council
supported the program, the spokes-
man SAID because they were anxious
to keep as large a number Of pur-
chasers of livestock-that is, meat
packers-in business as possible.
Meat packers claim they cannot op-
crate proftably under present reg
ulations surrounding their industry.
The councils program contem-
plated no ceilings on any type of
livestock, the spokesman said.

Bonded Debt Down
Governor Looks To
Elimination OF Tax
O'COnOr Tells Members Of
State Grange His Deter
minatiOn To Push Cuts

Reiteration of his determination
to work toward abolishing the
State tax on real estate was ex-
pressed emphatically by Governor
Herbert R. O'Conor in an address
to members of the State Grange at
their annual luncheon meeting
Stressing the progress that has
been made in this direction, Gov
ernor O'Conor told the large as
semblage:
'In the twelve months that have
passed since / last had the pleas
ure of being with you at your an
nual meeting, Maryland's bonded
debt has been further reduced by
a total of $4,35S,0O0.
"Today's figure of $31, 794 900 is
SIS, 204, 900 less than it was on this
date two years ago and $12,180,00C
less than on December 7, 1910.
zone immediate result of this re-
duction of the State debt, which
was at a peak of $4S,OOO,000 ir
1889 when this administration took
office, is the present State tax rate
of IL cents, the lowest our people
have enjoyed since the Civil War
Representing a decrease of liz
cents from the rate in effect ir
1889, this 12-cent rate means thai
property owners of the State are
paying S2,S37, 900 less each year tc
the State in taxes than they did al
the outset of this administration.
