RUSS STEAMROLLER:
Impact Hurts Nazis

From Leningrad to the Black sea
the Russian steamroller offensive
rumbled on, gathering momentum
on all fronts. Nazi armies were
forced to yield ground won in bloody
battles last year, to surrender strate-
gic hedgehog" strong points and
to see supply and communication
lines shattered.
Russian sources asserted that
100000 Germans had been killed
and 100000 captured since the winter
offensive was launched in Novem-
Der.
Red strategy had specially con-
centrated on five key Nazi-held cities
between the Ukraine and the north
Caucasus. These were Kharkov,
steel producing center; Rostov, COM
munications city at the mouth of the
Don river; Voroshilovgrad, industri-
al metropolis of the Donets basin;
Salsk, important rail junction; and
Armavir, gateway to the Baku-
Rostov oil railroad.
Possession of these cities would
not only open vast reservoir of
materials and machinery to the Rus
SLAMS, but it would loosen the Nazi
stranglehold on the central and
southern front. It would mean that
the Germans would have to fall all
the way back to the Dnieper river
and hold lines dangerously close to
Runania, Poland and Lithuania.
Progress of the Red armies toward
these goals showed no signs of letup.
Significant of the power of the Of
fensive was the capture of Voroshi-
sovsk, industrial and agricultural
center of the Caucasus, 43 miles east
of key Armavir.

NORTH AFRICA:
Death of Empire

Tripoli's fall had various meanings
for various interpreters. To histori-
ans it wrote finale to Mussolini's
grandiose dreams of empire, for it
was here the Duce had begun his
disastrous expansion policy. To
military observers it meant that the
Allies could now concentrate closer
attention on cleaning up the last
Axis strongholds in Tunisia.
It had been apparent to observers
that Marshal Rommels retreat
through Tripolitania had had Tuni-
STA and not Tripol as it's goal. Rear
guard efforts to. protect the main
body of his retreat had constituted
the only action in and around Tripoli.
Allied airmenihad not only strafed
doomed Tripoli, but General Mont
go1nery's British eighth army and
General LeClerc's Fighting French
had constantly harried the retiring
,Afrika Korps.

SOUTH PACIFIC:
Prelude by Air

"Softening up" attacks by air on
Jap-held Lac were carried on by
Allied f1iers as a prelude to land
movements by General Macarthur
forces. For Lac was the next call
ing spot on the Allies schedule after
mopping-up operations had been sue
cessfully concluded in the Sanananda
area, last Jap toehold in the Papuan
peninsula.
The Allies anticipated no junket in
their next New Guinea offensive, for
the same Jap jungle tactics that had
delayed the capture of Coma, Buna
and Sanananda could be expected.
Aerial activity was not confined to
the Lac area, for American and Aus
tralian planes bombed shipping at
Finschaven and hit the airdrome
and wharf sections of Madang in
New Guinea. Elsewhere Allied air.
men visited Cape Gloucester and
Gasmata in Jap-held New Britain
and strafed an enemy barge concen-
tration off Willaumex peninsula.
In Australia, Allied bonnbers con-
tinued their pounding of enemy war
ships and merchantmen far to the
north. At A1nbon, 800 miles north
west of Darwin, they scored hits on
cruiser and cargo vessel.

HARD COAL:
Miners BO1U to FDR

Dangers Of Gripping hard coal
shortage were averted and face
saving maneuver for labor eXecut-
ed when $4,000 Pennsylvania miners
returned to work after three-Week
old unauthorized walkout following
a curt ultimatum from President
Roosevelt.
The President had served notice
that unless the miners ceased their
wildcat strike within 48 hours, he
would take necessary steps" to
safeguard the war effort.
A tangled skein of labor politics
had complicated the eastern hard
coal situation. Efforts of John l..
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers, and the War Labor board
to get the strikers back on the job
had failed. Strike leaders said the
miners had walked out in protest
against a UNIV dues increase Of 50
cents a month. The strikers, how
ever, had also demanded 81 a day
wage increase.

PRICE RISE:
Predicted by Bro1Un

AS additional rationing and price
regulations were promulgated, the
American public learned that Price
Administrator Prentiss M. Browns
direction of the OPA would be less
dramatic but no less firm than that
of his predecessor Leon Henderson.
Mr.. and Mrs. Average Citizen
were assured by the new admins
traitor, however, that the OPA would
be operated solely for the protection
of the American people. Frankly
acknowledging that price rises were
inevitable, Mr.. Brown promised that
such rises would be "slow and we'll
ordered"
Brown, former senator from Mich
igan, said he felt the nation had done
a much better job in keeping down
prices than in World War I. Since
September l, 1889, he said, an over
all price increase of SO per cent had
occurred, compared with ITO per
cent increase for the entire First
World war period.

FOOD PRODUCTIONS:
Gets Ne1U IncentiiUe

Two significant steps to spur the
Food for Victory campaign were
taken when the War Production
board authorized 80 per cent in
crease in production of farm ma
chinery and Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wickard announced program
of federal credit designed to extend
from 5000, 100000 to $3.50, 100000 to
farmers for stepping up essential
food production.
The WPB increased the steel al
lotment for farm machinery from
1877, 900 tons to 1000 tons for the
first quarter of 1943. This new ton
mage was in addition to an increase
previously authorized for the pro-
duction of repair parts for farm i'm
plements.
Mr.. Wickard said loans needed
mostly by small and medium sized
farmers would be extended through
the Regional Agricultural Credit
corporation. Size of loans will be
limited only by the amount needed
to do the production job. The loans
will be of short-term durat ton at 5
per cent interest.

VICTORY GARDENS:
Supplant Can-Openers

Victory gardens to make up for
foods which will become scarce were
urged on every family possessing
Sufficient space" by Claude R.
Wickard, federal food administrator.
More home canning was likewise
urged to add to the nations total
food supply.
These suggestions were made
when Mr.. Wickard directed the OPA
to prepare for eventual rationing of
evaporated and condensed milk and
other canned foods not included in
the original rationing order. The
new directive delegated authority to
the OPA to ration canned fish, she'll
fish, jams, jellies, preserves, fruit
buffers, pickles, relishes and canned
milk.
Housewives were informed, how
ever. that the items would not be
included when canned fruit, fruit
Juices and vegetables come under

AXIS TRUMP:
Subs Still Potent

Hurled back on all world fronts by
the ever-increasing ferocity of Unit
ed Nations attacks, the Axis still
controlled one ace offensive weapon
German submarines.
Hitler was said by British Admiral
Sir Percy Noble to be maintaining 200
U-boats of his fleet Of 500 at sea all
the time in an effort to keep the
tremendous output of Allied war fac
tories from the battlefields. Unof-
fetal British estimates placed Nazi
submarine construction at Is to 20
a month-faster than naval experts
believe the Allies are sinking them.
Elmer Davis, director of the Of
flee of War Information, reported
that German submarines had sunk
more Allied shipping in January
than in December.
A brighter side of the picture
emerged, however, when the Lend
Lease administration announced that
the United States and Britain had
sent Russia $500 tanks and 1900
airplanes up to January and prom
ised that aid to the Soviet Twill grow
still more in 1943." Regardless of
