president lost only Maine and Yer
month the 435 Congressional dis
tricts sent 1913 Democrats to Con-
gress.
Democrats in the House adjourn
ing tomorrow number 218. The fat
majority of lis seats obtained in
the 1886 election-which was the
party's high point-has been whit
tied down to bare numerical ma
GRITTY of one seat. The Republicans
have come up from low of SO to
208 seats in the current House. The
other seats are represented by minor
parties or are vacant.
It is because the electorate con-
Sistently has been unSeating Demo-
Gratis to seat Republicans since 1896
that the Congress consistently has
moved into more direct opposition
to Roosevelt domestic policies. There
has been no dispute in the 18th
Congress comparable for bitterness
and prolonged debate with that
which blazed from February into
midsummer of 1887 over Mr.. Roose-
velt's plan to reorganize the United
States supreme court. The record
shows that Congress and especially
the House is On the war path against
the New Deal.
Mr.. Roosevelt's spokesman were
able to postpone vote which would
have outlawed food subsidy pay
ments. He has blocked, so far, re-
sort to a general sales tax fir rev.
enue or anti-inflation purposes. But
his treasury's tax plans have been
rejected. On all but actual war
questions, the administration usu-
ally has been licked this year.

In the newspaper industry the
new order is expected to save 205.-
ZOE tons in the first quarter of 1914
thus reducing consumption of 1856
per cent as compared with 1941. If
this rate of usage should be con-
tinued, greater savings in paper
would be effected for the second
and fourth quarters when consump-
ton is usually higher
The 1871 base period will be adj
justed for each newspaper to COM
penSate for a circulation increase
in 1912, and this is expected to re-
move the necessity for a majority
Of the appeals.
Newspaper publishers using less
than IS tons of print paper per
quarter continue to be exempt from
reduction but other publishers will
be subject to q reduction Of four
per cent Of their base tonnage that
Is over Is tons but not over 125
tons; eight per cent Of the amount
over 1875 tons but not over $50 tons;
IL per cent Of the amount over $50
tons but not over 500 tons; 20 per
cent Of the amount over 500 tons
but not over 1000 tons; and "a per
cent of the amount over 1000 tons.
H. M. Bittner, director Of the
WPB Printing and Publishing Divi-
sion, pointed out that large Metro
poItan newspapers will be required
to reduce their use Of paper below
the 1941 level by an amount SUBJ
stantially in excess of "a per cent
because Of the spread between net
paid circulation and the gross press
run.
In the magazine industry, the new
regulations will impose cuts for
1914 that result in an annual saw
ing Of 29,500 tons or "a per cent Of
the 1912 base period use.
WPB said that during 1943-when
magazines operated under a 10 per
cent limitation-they were able to
absorb cuts by using lighter weight
paper, narrower margins, smaller
type, but maintaining the same
number Of pages and copies But
WPB said 1t Is expected that maya
zines in 1914 will be smaller in
size, with perhaps some curtailment
in circulation as a result Of the new
paper cuts.
WPB estimated box publishers
will use ,108,280 tons of paper in
1914, O saving of 80, 756 tons or 23.1
per cent under the 1912 base period
usage.
Commercial printers will cut their
use Of paper to effect a 1914 saving
of 900, $50 tons or 1903 per cent less
than the 1941 base period.
While Nelson's approval of the new
orders was announced today, WPB
said the actual orders would not be
ready for release until tomorrow or
Wednesday.

Germans Quit
VictoryHope

Ankara, Dec. 20-(UP)-Informa
ton credited to a high German
source said today that the Nazis
had abandoned all hope of winning
the war but were confident of their
ability to hold out another year in
order to get favorable peace terms.
A usually reliable source said an
unnamed German official had con-
fided to friends in Ankara that the
Nazis now regard the war as lost.
Berlin is convinced, however, that
its armies can hold the eastern and
italian fronts and prevent a sue
cessful Allied invasion from the
west long enough to persuade the
Allied powers to abandon their I'M
conditional surrender demand, this
official was quoted.
The Germans believe, he added,
that their unexpected success in
holding up Allied armies in Italy
can be continued Indefinitely, pre-
venting the Allies from driving
ocross the Alps into Germany, and
that they can muster enough
strength in the Balkans to block an
invasion from that direction.
At the same time, they promise
a hit reception for the Allies If they
attempt to cross the English Chan
mel into France, and are certain
that any such invasion will result
in a frightful loss of Allied lives.
The Germans, according to this
information, are not sure whether
the Allies seriously intend a cross
channel invasion, although they be-
lieve Britain and the United States
will probably make a show Of one
in order to placate Russia.
While the Anglo-American bomb
ing offensive against the reich has
cut production seriously and in
f1icted heavy damage, Berlin was
said to be confident that the raids
could not cripple Germany to the
point where she could no longer
fight.
The other reasons for German
confidence in their ability to pro-
long the war and win a favorable
peace were described as political.
While the Nazis acknowledge that
President Roosevelt is committed
to unconditional surrender and can
not back down. they feel the 1914
presidential elections in the United
States might alter the situation.
If President Roosevelt should be
replaced-by either a Democrat or
Republican-the Germans believe
he would be able to tone down the
unconditional surrender demand,
particularly If heavy casualties and
anxiety over the Pacific war should
make the American people FESTIVE.
Finally the Germans were said to
feel that their armies still are able
to inf1ict shaaering losses ON the
Ruscsians, and gradually exhaust
the Soviet people.
The German official, this source
said, informed his cordderts THAT
the Wehrmacht's retreat in Russia
has been carried out with a high
degree Of skill and the Red Army
has suffered 100000 casualties
since the start of its big offensive
last July.
He estimated that the Russians
will lose another 100000 killed,
wounded and captured If and when
the Germans launch a big counter
offensive.
