ROME:
Priceless Treasures

Declaring &c. Despite the pre-
cautions that may be taken it is al
most impossible to avoid, on this
sacred soil of Rome, the destruction
of venerated edifices," Pope Plus
XII deemed it &c. our duty once
more to raise our voice in defense
of the priceless treasures that con-
stitute the ornament of Christian and
human endeavor," following the Al
lied bombing of the Eternal City.
In citing the historical, cultural
and religious Importance of Rome,
the pope said GO. . All that we put
before competent authorities on sew
eral occasions in clear terms, rec
ommending to them in the name of
human dignity and of Christian CIV
ilization the inviolability of Rome"
Then stating that he had hoped the
papal authority would have proved
sufficient in addressing a plea for
the immunity of Rome, the pope
said g. But alas, this so reason
able hope of ours has been disap-
pointed"

SOUTH PACIFIC:
Range to Dutch Indies

Ranging 1900 miles to the west,
American heavy bomber formations
struck at the japanese naval base of
Surabaya in the Dutch East Indies.
Tumbling down on an oil refinery,
docks, warehouses and railway in
stallations, 500 pound bombs caused
heavy damage, Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's communique said. The
action marked the first air raid on
Surabaya since that former Dutch
base was pounded by the Japanese
early in the war.
The raid on Surabaya was part of
intensive Allied activity in the South
Pacific area. AS American troops
worked closer through heavy jungle
to the japanese air base of Munda
on New Georgia islands in the Solo
mons, medium and dive bombers
and fighter planes kept up rain
of explosives on the embattled en-
envy troops guarding that strong
hold. In one day alone, American
airmen made $50 raids on the jap
anese positions.

RUSSIA:
Reds WhittIe Bulge

Throwing the full weight of their
might into the drive, the Russians
bore down on Orel from three sides,
while embattled German troops
fought desperately to prevent being
cut from the rear.
While the battle of Orel ragged, the
"Anti-Nazi German National Com
mittee" in Moscow appealed to the
German high command to overthrow
Hitler and negotiate a peace with
the Russian government. Although
presumably composed of former
German army officers, the nation
al committee" bears liberal sprin-
king of former leaders of the Com
munist party of the old reichstag.
At Orel, the Nazis were holding
big bulge eastward, from which they
could strike out against the rear of
the Reds northern or southern
armies. Russian troops made nota-
BILE progress cutting across much of
the bulge in the north, but the Ger
mans were offering stiff resistance
on the southern fringe.
For their part, the Germans made
no effort to minimize the power of
the Russian drive. They contended
their strategy called for a continu-
alton of the struggle so as to wear
down the Reds strength.

SICILY:
Pocket A1is

The second stage of fighting in
Sicily found the Axis forces retiring
from the western reaches of the
island as the Seventh American
army of Gen. George S. Patton
moved into rapid occupation of the
territory.
The Yanks' seizure of Palermo
sealed off the Axis troops in the
northeastern corner of Sicily. AS
Patton's army hemmed the re-
manning Axis forces of approximate
ly 100000 men in from the west,
Gen. Bernard Montgomery's British
Eighth army pounded at the en-
emy's line on the southern extrem-
ity of the trap, at Catania.
Units of the celebrated Herman
Goering division put up stiff fight
on the outskirts of Catania. In this
section, the broad Catania plain is
criss-crossed by several rivers, max
ing tank and motorized operations
difficult; and many shallow creek
beds and thick grain fields gave Ger
man machine-gunners good cover
for defensive fire.

CIVILIAN GOODS:
Increase Possible

The government effort to get a
more effective production for the
war might result in reduction Of
certain programs and free materials
for civilian goods, War Mobilization
director James F. Byrnes said.
That, however, is a hope and not a
prediction, Byrnes cautioned.
Byrnes' statement came on the
heels of a revelation that the NUM-
tons program was being cut down
in some lines because our growing
air power was amply protecting AL
lied industries abroad from destruc-
ton from bombing, and thus reduc-
ing their demands on U. S. plants
for material.
According to Byrnes, the various
war agencies are studying their pur-
chasing programs, to confine pro-
curement to articles most useful in
the light of recent combat develop
ments. Where cancellations or re-
auctions in orders may be feasible,
the possibility exists that material
spared will be used for civilian
goods.

EMPLOYMENT:
SO Million at Work

AS the labor department an
nounced that over 38 million people
were currently employed in nom
agricultural establishments, the war
department revealed that it had
authorized the release of 4,500 men
from the army for work in copper,
zinc and molybdenum mines.
According to the labor depart
ment, current employment was
1868, 900 over that for the same
period year ago. Despite the fact
that the manufacturing and public
utilities and transportation indus
tries put on $4,000 workers recent
ly, total employment was only
$4,000 more than in May of this
year. Since May, the construction
industry has laid off $4,000 men.
The war department said failure
of the metal mines to secure the
necessary amount of workers left
only the army as reservoir of
men with the requisite skills for the
pits.

MINERS:
Seek Contract Approval

With the War Labor board rested
the task of determining the fate of
the new wage contract entered into
between Illinois United Mine Work
ers and bituminous coal operators,
providing for a daily payment OF
$1.25 for time spent travelling under
ground. Differences over such COM
pensation was the chief cause OF
three walkouts, leading to govern
ment seizure of the pits.
In addition to providing portable
portal pay, the new two-year- con-
tract outlaws strikes and lengthens
the 35-hour week to 48 hours. Under
present conditions, the miners now
receive 81 daily for a seven-hour
shift, but the new pact would award
them time-and-a-half for the eighth
hour each day and for the full eight
hours on the sixth day.
Besides WLB approval, the agree
ment is dependent upon the Office of
Price Administration authorization
of an increase in coal prices to off
set the wage settlements.

them only for airing the baby.
FIGHTING FRENCH: Allied vic
tory will bring about dissolution of

de Gaulle stated recently. A lib
Grated France will mean the end of
the mission of his organization.
AUTO RACING: There will be no
more super speed auto racing on
the Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah
until the war is over, racing drivers
say, because of gasoline and tire
rationing. The Flats replaced the
sands of Daytona Beach, Fla,
where racers formerly We'd for high

POULTRY:
Army Takes OUer

Under the second war powers act,
the Office of Price Administration
ordered the detention of poultry
truckers on eastern highways and
the requisitioning of their stock for
the army.
OPA took the action, it said, after
black market operations had inter-
fered with the army's purchase OF
poultry in the Delaware, Maryland
and Virginia area, largest fowl pro-
ducing section in the East. Accord
ing to OPA, much of this meat was
being sold to dealers over the price
ceiling.
Dealers from whom the poultry
was requisitioned, were paid the pre-
vailing ceiling price.

CASUALTIES:

ty lists issued for the first year and
half of the war totaled 1856 men
killed in action or from wounds, and
31,343 missing. The missing, it was
explained, may either be dead or
prisoners, but final tabulation must
await the wars end.
Casualties were almost equally di-
vided between the services. OF the
known dead, 8,412 are navy, marine
and coastguardsmen, while 8,144
are army men. However, the army's
record of 81, 076 missing doubled the
navy, marine and coast guards fig
ure of 10,267.
AS the services casualties were
announced, word was received OF
the death of Maj. Gen. William p.

Charles Paddock in the crash of a

FARMS:
I.3 Per Cent Idle

A total of 76,7O4 farms with an
acreage of 6,484, 292 lay idle in the
United States when the decennial
census was taken in 1910. The num-
Der represented 1.3 per cent of all
farms in the country.
New England and the Middle
Atlantic states showed the greatest
percentage of abandonments, with
one out of every 20 farms idle. This
compared with Iowa's report of one
out of every 1000.
Abandoned farms averaged 85
acres against the 174 acres for OPP
Grating tracts. Depleted soil and
crop failures accounted for one-third
of the vacancies, and there were
many departures for employment in
industry.
Almost 81 million acres of land
lay idle on producing farms, census
figures also showed.

WAR BONDS

With % billion dollars already

billion dollar war bond drive to start
in September. Individuals, corpora

BILE for the purchase Of the various
denominations of savings bonds,

In the two previous drives, banks
bought over 10 billion dollars of Sc

a particular effort to increase the
number of people buying war bonds.
Volunteer statesmen will concentrate
on house-to-house canvasses.
Intensifcation of the government S

LABOR:
Demands RoIt-BGck

Meeting in the White House, or.
ganized labor served notice on Pres
ident Roosevelt that it would not
continue support of his anti-inf1ation
program unless prices were rolled
back to the September Is, 1912,
level.
Charging Price Administrator
Prentiss Brown with having failed
to execute the governments roll
back program, labor representatives
declared they would open a pres
sure campaign for his removal from
office unless plans were set in mo-
ton to push current prices back.
The labor leaders said further dali
lance on roll-backs would lead them
to repudiate the wage sterilization
program, in which wage increases
have been limited to Is per cent
over the January, 1941, levels. Liv-
ing costs have jumped approximate
ly 81 per cent since that time, they
said, outstripping income by at least
6 per cent.
