10 Years Ago

Just 10 years. ago, youth
in Detroit called themselves
the lost generation, jobs were
not available, they could not
marry the person OF their
choice due to economic cOndi-
tons, and the future was con-
sidered by many TO be hope
less and futile.
To-day, there are high
school graduates making more
money than their fathers ever
earned in their lives, young
people are getting married at
the rate of 100000 during
1942-the highest rate of
marriages for any single year
i'm the history of the United
States-they are being paid to
get useful training and educa-
ton, whereas in the early thir-
ties the NYA was established
TO help many continue their
education.

plain view of thousands Of
ferryboat passengers. News
of its arrival was withheld at
the request of the navy.
From the shore, the dis
|abled battleship appeared to
be in fighting trim. It's name
was painted on the stern in
large letters, readable from
the decks of the Staten Island
ferryboats that piled back and
forth a few hundred yards
away.
The disclosure was made by
Vice Admiral Raymond Fenard or
the French naval mission repre-
senting Gen. Henri Honore Giraud
on naval affairs.
The 35,000-ton Richelieu, which
was completed in April, 1910, must
undergo repairs before it can turn
its eight 15-inch guns against the
Nazis. The big ship was disabled

Minimum Prices on
Basic Crops May
be Substitute

Washington. Aug. 6-TNS-Pres-
ident Roosevelt was reliably re-
ported today to have abandoned
the subsidy method OF holding
down living costs, and instead
plans to ask Congress for permis-
sion TO guarantee American farm
ers minimum prices for their basic
crops
Well informed sources stated
that this plan TO utilize minimum
support prices is the framework
OF the new sterilization program
announced by President Roosevelt
as being readied for congressional
action after the summer recess.
Under the new program, the
Commodity Credit Corporation
will set minimum prices for many
farm products. These prices, II
was said, will be determined after
wartime costs OF farm production
have been taken into consideration.
In some instances. it was dis
closed support prices for fam
commodities will be set at levels
above present ceilings. and will re-
suit in an increase in the cost OF
living. But this increase is stat
ed to be "infinitesemal' and should
not be countered By any general
increase in the present level OF
wages paid to industrial workers.
Contrary to previously published
reports. the program does not con-
template scrapping the little
steel formula for granting wage
increases.

French Will
beRecogniized

Washington, Aug. 6-INS-The
United States will recognize TIE
French Committee OF Liberation in
North Africa as the provisional
trustee OF French interests, but
formal diplomatic recognition OF
permanent French government
must await the liberation OF France
and the establishment OF a
French government by popular
vote.
This was the opinion expressed
by authoritative Washington quar-
tiers today as the American and
British governments continued dis
cussion OF the status OF the French
committee. The discussions have
been underway for nearly two
months.
The two governments will act
jointly when agreement is reached
on all points. Such action is ex-
pected soon.
Washington and London. 1t was

This formula would embrace such
matters as lend-lease aid both on
the matter OF helping feed and
clothe North Africa as well as
completing the equipping OF tho
French colonial army with modern
combat weapons, OF financial aid,
and OF many complex problems
which conceivably will arise when
the Allies strike to drive the Ger
man armies out OF France.

Conferences on

Seen as Likely
President, Prime
Minister May
Outline Plans

London, Aug. 6-UP- Informed
scources here said today that Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill may meet again soou,
perhaps within the next few weeks.
TO map plans for speeding the con
quest OF Axis Europe.
The imminent capture OF all Sici-
ly and multiple indications that the
rest OF Italy will put up neither
prolonged nor serious resistance
appeared TO make 1t desirable for
the heads OF the two governments
TO revive their European strategy
and hasten the knockout OF Ger
many, informants said.
While both the President and
Churchill would like Premier Josef
Stain TO sit in with them, it was
believed unlikely that the Soviet
chieftain would be able to leave
Russia, where he is directing grow
ing Soviet offensives on the east
ern front.
The London Daily Mail reported
in New York dispatch that the
swift succession OF Allied victories
in Sicily and Russia has created
new opportunities, and that Mr.
Roosevelt and Churchill may con-
fer again to put finishing touches
10 plans for new assaults on the
European fortress"
Other newspapers carried simi.
lar reports from New York and
Washington. Radio Brazzayille
was quoted that a meeting was ex-
pected in the Immediate future.
British military observers be.
lieved Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower s
mediterranean forces will follow
up their conquest OF Sicily quickly
with an invasion OF the Italian
mainland designed to hasten ltaly's
elimination.
Hope virtually has been abandon.
ed here that Marshal Pietro Bado-
Clio. the new italian chief OF gov
eminent. will accept Eisenhower's
offer OF an immediate and hon
orable" peace before an invasion.
