Spills on Motor

Blazing gasoline on the truck OF
Dan O'Connor of Glentana was
quickly put out by members of the

starting the fire. Extinguishers were
used and the fire was out before
the city fire truck arrived. Art

WAGES & PRICES:
Labor Looks Upward

Organized labor's clash with the
government over wage controls
drew disquietingly closer as the
American Federation of Labor, the
CLIO and John L. Lewis United Mine
Workers made known their stand.
Conferring at the White House,
William Green, ALL president, and
Phillip Murray, CLIO chief, protested
to President Roosevelt that the cost
of living was getting out of bounds"
and said that there was increasing
dissatisfaction among labor's rank
and file.
Previously, bushy-browed Lewis
had announced a demand for a 81
day pay increase in the bituminous
coal industry, effective April /.
The impending crisis in wage con-
troll was further emphasized when
the War Labor board beset by in
creasing demands for pay increases
asked Sterilization Director James
F. Byrnes whether the Little Steel
wage ceiling formula should be re-
vised upward. This yardstick which
has been applied to numerous indus
tries allowed the WLB to grant wage
increases of Is per cent above the
levels of January l, 1941, and was
designed to match rising living costs
between that date and May l, 1912.
This problem was dropped in Mr..
Byrnes' lap, because any upward
wage revision would have consumer
repercussions and jeopardize the adj
ministration's entire wage stabiliza-
ton and price pegging program.

AXIS STOOGES:
Sho,p Litter Signs

Signs of political and economic
crack-up at the northern and south
ern extremities of Germany's Euro
pean front were indicated in reports
limiting increasing unrest in Finland
and Rumania.
Reports reaching neutral Stock
holm, related that Finland, fearing
further Russian offensives in the
north, was growing desperate. The
Firms situation was further compli-
Gated because of food shortages and
the inability of the Nazis to send
them assistance. Public anger had
been reused over a statement by
Field Marshal Goering that Rus
sia's 1889 war on Finland was only
a bluff.
The Rumanian situation was said
to be growing more critical because
Of heavy losses on the Russian front.
Turkish sources reported that Mar
shall Ion Antonescu, Rumanian die
tator, had begun to despair Of his
country's position. It was estimated
that Rumania had lost $4,000 men
killed in Russia and nearly $50, 900
wounded and prisoners.

U-BOAT BASES:
Concrete Is Solid

Ten feet of solid concrete separat-
ed Raj bombs from the German
submarines they were dropped to
blast in Germany's super-U-boat
base at Lorient on Frances Bay of
Biscay. But British fliers kept up
their logged attacks night after
night, for submarines remained the
chief menace to Allied success in
Europe.
British reports said that existing
pens under concrete at Lorient could
accommodate 20 submarines at a
time, while another set of pens under
construction could take 10 more.
Air warfare against submarine
sources was not confined to the bases
from which they embarked. Bomb
er attacks continued to be directed
against cities where U-boat parts
are manufactured, such as Essen,
Dusseldorf and Cologne, as well as
Copenhagen, Denmark, where SUBJ
marine diesel engines are made. In
addition, Raj bombers strafed other
industrial cities, including Turin,
seat of Italy's airplane engine in
duStry.

INCOME TAX:
March IS Still DeadIine

Neither the Ruml plan to "for-
give'' all taxes on 1912 income, nor
the U. S. treasury departments pro-
posal to double up collections Of both
1912 and 1913 taxes will be adopted,
members Of the house ways and
means committee definitely indicat-
ed.
One fact appeared certain. Forty
four million American taxpayers
will be compelled to file income tax
returns by the March Is headline,
on the basis of 1912 income.
A pay-as-you-go withholding tax
procedure will be set up later. Most
observers predicted July l as the
date. This apparently would be a
compromise measure embodying
some but not all of the Runl pro-
posals and the treasury's recommen-
dations. a&s s.

FARM LABOR:
Army to Help?

Many a Washington official has
lain awake nights trying to find a
solution for the critical farm labor
shortage.
Latest suggestion for relieving the
shortage is to apply a method used
by Union and Confederate armies in
the Civil war-furlough soldiers with
farm experience to help with har-
vests and other seasonal farm jobs.
Observers believed that creation of
this farm army would be undertaken
jointly by the war department and
the War Manpower commission and
the department Of agriculture. It
was estimated that 100000 soldiers
might be detailed for this needed
task.
Alternately under consideration by
top manpower authorities was a pro-
posal to utilize battalions Of army
men still on military assignment for
farm work.

NAZI TWILIGHT:
Darkened by Russ

While the strains of Wagner's fu-
nereal Gotterdaemmerung on Berlin
radios had proclaimed to the Reich
the melancholy tidings of Nazi dis
aster at Stalingrad, this requiem
was regarded by many observers
as only prelude to more woeful
news ahead.
For it had become increasingly
clear that the German retreat in
Russia had long since passed the
stage of an orderly withdrawal and
had reached the proportions of a
rout in many places. Relentlessly
the Russians had built up their Of
fensive's momentum, smashing into
the Ukraine, narrowing the circle
around Rostov and threatening Hit
ler's harassed Caucasus forces with
a Black sea Dunkirk at Novoros-
sisk.
Matter-of-fact Soviet communi-
ques told the story Of German re-
verses. These included the reoccu-
patton by Red troops of Zolotukhino,
only % miles above Kursk on the
Kursk- Orel railroad, thus cutting the
main Nazi supply line to the north !;
the recapture of Kupyansk and with
it the control Of an entire rail net
work; and the seizure of Kuschev-
skaya, below Rostov on the Rostov-
Baku railway, the biggest system in
the Caucasus.
The loss of Kuschevskaya was
particularly bitter to the Nazis. Russ
possession of this city which COM
mands a railroad spur leading to
the Black sea, threatened to isolate
huge German forces already under
attack at Novorossisk, the large
Nazi-held port on that sea. It had
been believed Hitler would try to
use Novorossisk for the evacuation
of his Caucasian army if Rostov
were regained by the Russians.

SOLOMONS:
Nipponese Persistent

Only occasionally during the lat
est air-sea battle between American
forces and their Jap enemies for
control of the southern Solomons was
the curtain of official secrecy raised.
First American reports were nee
essarily noncommittal to keep USE
full information from the enemy.
The Japs used reverse Eng
fish" technique in reporting the
battle. This consisted of radio an
nouncements telling of overwhelm-
ing American naval superiority in
the Guadalcanal area, Of the pres
ence of 10 American warships and
10 aircraft carriers. BY employing
such fantastic figures, observers be-
ieved the Jap high command was
preparing the public back home for
bad news.

MERCHANT SEAMEN:
Heroisn, UNPARALLELED

The heroic part Americas 10000
merchant seamen have played in the
front line of combat on the high seas
was dramatized by a report issued
by Rear Admiral Emory S. Land OF
the War Shipping administration
which disclosed that the percentage
Of losses in personnel due to Axis
U-boats and bombers was three
times as great as that of the U. S.
armed forces in the first year of the
war.
Numerically, losses of merchant
sailors totaled $500 including dead
and missing, or 3.8 per cent Of the
total during the wars first year. u.

IA BILLIONS SAVED:
For Farmers Says OPA

Stung by frequent criticism of its
policies by farm bloc leaders, the
Office of Price Administration an
swered back in a statement contend
ing that by the end of 1913 this agen-
cy will have saved American farm
ers $7,400, 600, 600 or an average Of
$1,213 a farm.
OPA made this estimate on the
basis of computation of how much
money farmers would have been
compelled to spend on things they
buy and on operating expenses if
there had been no government con-
troll over prices.

AFRICAN CRITICISM:
Ebb-tide ADDrOnchine

The tide of criticism over Amer
ica's handling of the tricky North
Africa political situation had shown
signs of ebbing. Significant of this
trend was the statement of Foreign
Minister Anthony Eden in the house
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1943-02-19

of commons that a 'start has been
made for reconciliation between
Frenchmen and readjustment of in
ternal conditions in North Africa"
Eden placed full responsibility for
settling North African controversies
upon Frenchmen themselves. That
the French intended to follow this
advice was indicated by the creation
of a five-man commission by the
imperial council in Algiers to under
take internal reforms. One of these
was the restoration to their posts
of officials ousted because they were
Masons. Another was the release
by General Giraud of q Communist
members of the former French
chamber of deputies.
A further step toward unity was
a blunt memorandum by Lieut.. Gen.
Dwight H. Eisenhower warning
American officers against unwar-
ranted criticism of "any ally"

Americans for the remainder of 1913,

Coffee rations were reduced from
one pound per person every five
weeks to one every six weeks. This
worked out to about 81 pounds per

Indiun OILeuse

SAN FRANCISCO - The United
States circuit court of appeal held
that the secretary of interior had the
right to refuse to cancel an oil and
gas lease on BlaekfOOt Indian tribal
land in Montana.
Secretary Ickes leased 47O acres of
land near Cut Bank, Mont, in 1886 to
R. E. Lee, who agreed to driH four
wells the first year Several months
later, however, he sought to cancel the
lease after drilling one well. He de-
clared geological surveys indicated
there was no oil on the property.
The federal district court in Mon
tana ruled against Lee. Its Judgment
was affirmed by the circuit court TO-
day. The lease provided for surrender
of a $4,000 bond for failure to drill the
specified number of wells
