u. S. Executions May
Delay Second Front
American Anger UnequalIed Since Pearl tiarbOr; War
Interest Re.FOcused Primarily on Pacific Theater

TO the Pacific,
With the African campaign now
entering It's final stages, II appeared
obvious that the war had reached q
stage In which the big period Of
preparation for q second front could
be assumed TO be getting under way.
That meant the shipment Of vast
quantities of supplies, ammunition,
planes and men across the Atlantic.
II was bound TO keep the Pacific
front on comparatively short rationG
until that campaign reaches the top
Of tho priority list,
The decisions made by Mr.. Roose-
welt and Churchill more than three
months ago now were running head
on into the warning by Macarthur
that more planes and men are
needed for fighting the Japanese,
backed up by q prairie fire OF ma
tional indignation and demands for
shooting tho works against them.
War strategy obviously Is not be-
Ing determined by public clamor.
But 1t Is recognized that imperative
demands such as MacArthur's are
not likely to be ignored entirely.
That does not necessarily mean
further delay III opening o second
front. But after all there Is only
so much material and planes being
poured out by American factories.
II Increased allotmonts, for in
stance OF tanks or flying fortrcsses,
are sent TO the Pacific, there are
bound to be cuts and delays In de-
liveries TO other theaters.
The ultimate result Of such a d.
version we'll might be major changes
In the Casablarca timetable. II
must be re-emphasized, however,
that there has been no public indi-
cation Of any such diversions, Or
dered Or contemplated.
Both Mr.. Roosevelt and Churchill
are firmly on the record for finish
ing off the European end Of the
war before coming to close grips
with the japanese.

afraid to go very far, but reported

In years which followed. other
persons went into the passage and
explored it to greater extent. To-
day the Endless CavernS rank among
the great caves of the world. The
word endless" has been used to
describe them because of the trouble
found in reaching the real end of
them.
Parts of the Endless Caverns are
barred to the public, because visitors
might be injured if they went too
far. Yet explorers have made spe-
Icial journeys, roped together like
mountain climbers. At times they
have squeezed through openings as
narrow as Is inches and have come
suddenly to the edge of slippery
slope. At such time. the leader Of
the party has been glad he was roped
to those behind him, else he might
have fallen to his DEATH
Most caves are the result of un-

Mammoth Cave seems to have been
a hunter named Hutchins, who went
inside in 1909, the year in which
Abraham Lincoln was born. The
cave was opened to the public in
1887.
There are miles of passages in
Mammoth Cave, and several large
rooms. The largest room is called
Chief CITY," and has an area of two
acres. The ceiling is 125 feet above
the floor. Inside Chief City were

SILK WORM.
(Bombyr 11,ori).


Silk, as you know, is essential to
the war effort. Brazil has many
thousands of acres of fertile land
occupied by Morus alba. the null
berry tree on which the silkworms
live. The silkworm lives short life
every second of which goes for the
production of silk for man.
Since the beginning OF our war
with Japan our sources of silk have
been cut of, and the reserves In the
| United States have all been set aside
for military utilization.
Perhaps very few silk users real
ize that silk Is the only material
known that is absolutely satisfactory
for making ammunition bags, for
| the reason that it disintegrates
completely when the charge is fired
and it never fouls the barrels of
large-caliber guns. Besides, its great
strength in proportion to its weight
makes it highly suitable for other
wartime needs, among them para
chutes.
So Brazil, with its wonderful soil
and climate, finds it is the place
where the important mulberry trees
will grow fast and produce tender
juicy leaves for the silkWorms, and
the genial atmosphere is such that
instead of the two crops of cocoons
produced in Japan, Brazil has from
three to five. In the Amazon Basin
10 or II crops may be harvested.
While Brazil has been interested
in. silkworm culture since early in
the 10th century, instruction and
uniform direction of this industry
have been lacking. Now the work is
under scientific management. In
l940-42 the production of silkworms
increased from 400 to $50 pounds
and in 1943 the production will bt
something like 1850 pounds. Wher
one realizes that it takes 500 900.

PHOENIX. Jan. 22-(UP)-Sen.
Norman Fain of Yavapai county,
chairman of the senate livestock
committee, indicated today a bill
providing strict regulation of sales
OF horsemeat for human conSump-

Seeking to eliminate absenteeism.
Consolidate Aircraft Corp officials
today announced a plan to distri-
butte $4,000 monthly in war bonds
among war workers for faithful
attendance.
Approximately 73 employees will
be selected from the 10000 Con-
solidated workers on the basis of
individual attendance and average
attendance of the crew to which
they belong. Prices will range
from $1,000 to $25.
Sponsored by the Regional War
Labor Board, the plan sought to
eliminate an average absentee rate
of 10 per cent. An estimated 3 600
employees failed to report for work
during the average months, result
ing in the loss of 100000 man hours.
