TIRES
Continued Shortage

Although production of synthetic
rubber is expected to total $4,000
tons in 1914 compared with 5000
tons this year, only about 80 million
tires will be manufactured to meet
needs of essential users of cars, light
delivery trucks, taxis and farm ve-
hicles. Ordinarily, so million tires
are made year.
Tightness in the civilian tire sup
ply will prevail because of military
requirements, scarcity of manpower
to operate fabricating equipment,
reduction in the peace time inven-
tory of tires, shortage of rayon cord
for heavy duty tires, and the cut in
crude rubber imports.
To obtain maximum use of pres
ent tires, the rubber manufacturers
committee counseled drivers to pre-
serve their tire carcasses, or bodies,
for recapping by protecting the walls
and not running down treads. Fur
ther, the committee advised low
speeds, adequate air for tubes, and
proper alignment for wheels and
axleS.

RUSSIA:
Attack Last Railroad

Russia's last north-south railway
came under the attack of Red troops
as they pressed forward on a TO
mile front west of recaptured Kiev.
AS the Russians drove against the
railroad, other forces of their army
continued attacks on Newell, less
than so miles from the Latvian
border in the north, and on Krivoi
Rog in the south.
At Krivoi Rog, the Germans con-
tinued to hold open an escape cor
ridor for the last columns of Nazi
forces pulling out of the huge bend
of the Dnieper river, where early
Russian attacks had threatened
them with encirclement.
Crossing into the eastern Crimea
from the Caucasus, strong Russian
forces drew up for major attack
on the $4,000 German troops report
edly massed in the huge peninsula,
guarding the Black sea. The Nazis
held their ground at the north en-
trance to the Crimea.

coast of Africa.
FORMS: The War Production
board is making every effort to re-
duce the paper work under which
business is laboring, Donald Nelson,
chairman, stated, adding that the
whole controlled materials plan is be-
ing reviewed.
COLD: The common cold has
caused greater loss of manpower
hours than any other illness, said
Charles Kettering, vice president of
General Motors. He told medical
directors of industrial plants that the
promotion of ''health consciousness
should be a part of their effort to
reduce lost production time.

CENTRAL GOVERNMENT
IN THE UNITED STATES
Released BY Western Newspaper Union.

CENTRAL GOVERNMENT
IN THE UNITED STATES
FOR SOME $50 YEARS we Amer
leans have thought of government
as that of our town, our county, or
state. Our interests lay in the race
for such offices as sheriff and board
of supervisors, for mayor and coun-
cilmen, for members of the state
legislature and governor. We elect
ed congressman and senators to rep
resent us in Washington at what
seemed much like side show of
government in which we were not
greatly interested Once each four
years we got thrill out of the con-
test for President but it did not make
much difference to any of us which
candidate won.
It was the local and state govern
ments, not Washington, that enacted
and enforced the laws that affected
US as individuals. That it should be
thus was decided in that historic
controversy between Jefferson and
Hamilton during the two terms
Washington served as the nations
first President. Jefferson demanded
the right of the people to local self
government. Hamilton would CEN
tralize government at the nations
capital. So bitter was the contest
it almost resulted in a small civil
war before Jefferson was successful
and the people had settled down to
those self governing rights their
champion had won for them.
That was for the first $50 years
only. Today Washington is no long
er a governmental side show. It
has become the ''big top" with Ham,
iltonian policies dominating. Our
state, county and town governments
have largely become useless append
ages. We are directed and regulat-
ed by the federal government. Wash
ington tells us what to do, what to
eat, what to raise on our farms,
what we may buy and at what price,
how we will heat our homes, how
much wages we may have and how
many hours we may work in week,
for what we may use gasoline and
hundreds of other things that affect
each of us as individuals.
While some of these are a result
of the wartime emergency many
were in effect before Pearl Harbor
and will continue when the war is
over. They represent a new con-
ception of government to which we
have not become accustomed.
To get us back to those days of
Jeffersonian local self government,
to get us away from the Hamiltonian
policies, to re-establish the place of
the state, the county and the town,
depends, not upon whom we elect
as governor of the state, as sheriff
of the county or mayor of the town,
but upon the men we Americans col
lectively send to Washington as con-
gressmen and senators. They are
today the important cogs in our gov
ernmental machinery.

TIGERS: The Detroit Tigers
baseball club will 60 to Evansville,
Ind, for their spring training
period.
COAL: The emergency regula-
tions on delivery of soft coal have
been relaxed, Secretary Ickes an
nounced. AS modified, the rules
state that a dealer cannot sell coal
to a customer who has 30 days supply
on hand.
POSTWAR CARS: Only 1912 mod
ell automobiles will be made for at
least a year and half after peace
comes, automotive engineers be-
lieve. This is because manufactur-
ers must use their old dies and tools.
It will take time to design and con-
struct new equipment.
Production of cars will be resumed
four to six months after receiving
the ''go-ahead" signal from the gov
ernment, but some manufacturing
may be done before the European
war ends. There may be fewer mod
els in the postwar era, the engi-
peers think.

U. S. casualties totaled 120, 1857 for
almost two years of war, with the
army reporting 89,648, and the navy
31,317.
Of the army casualties, 1884
were killed, 30,263 wounded, 1882
missing and 22,592 prisoners. Since
the landing at Salerno, September 9,
the U. S. suffered 1855 casualties in
Italy, with 1926 killed, 4,764 wound
ed and 2,497 missing.
Of the navy casualties, 12,548 are
dead, 5,542 wounded, 8,999 missing,
and 4,228 prisoners.
Of the nearly 7,700, 900 men in the
army, about 2,500,000 men will be
serving abroad by the end of the
year.

GOOD WORD ON EGGS

II you like eggs-fried, scrambled,
or Easter-this may interest you.
The high price of eggs will soon
come tumbling down. This Humpty-
Dumpty event will be brought about
by the sale of five milliop cases OF
government eggs.
War Food administration, respond
ing to the prodding of critics, admits
that it was putting too many eggs in
one basket, for military and lend
lease requirements, at the expense
of civilian requirements.
Release of this tremendous guam
tity of eggs won't alarm the house
wife, but worries War Food experts
because it might discourage produc-
ton for next year.
Meantime, War Food and OPA
are rowing over the price to be paid
for these five million cans of cold
storage eggs. VIA officials, pro-
tecting the producers, want higher
price for cold storage eggs than
fresh eggs.
OPA, thinking of the housewife,
says: 'This is the first time we ever
heard that eggs become more valu-
able as they get older!"
But War Food stands firm on the
principle that the old eggs should
bring more money. Their reason is
that the old eggs were stored by
dealers who were playing the usual
seasonal game of holding for rise
in price, without realizing that the
government was going to step in
and take over at the fixed price.
In other words, War Food experts
are trying to hand dealers some Of
the speculative profit they might
have gotten, while OPA--trying to
protect the consumer-wants to hold
the price down.
The inside government egg debate
Is still raging.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
At .JdDs' Rear

Pursuing his policy of pinching off
Japanese strongholds in the South
west Pacific by cutting off their COM
munications, Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thur has established U. S. forces to
the rear of the enemy's important
forward base of BUN on Bougain-
vile island in the Solomons.
With u. S. marines and dough-
boys standing astride the Japs' COM
munication lines leading to BUN,
they were in position to strike
against the enemy supplies, and his
main body from the rear.
Bougainville is the Japs' last i'm
portant holding in the Solomons, and
apparently they were determined to
take advantage of the wild nature of
the humid, tropical isle for another
long, delaying action.

CHILD DELINQUENCY:

During the last year, delinquency
among girls has increased 38 per

dren's bureau of the department Of
labor, declared.

ing, and many fathers in service or
sleeping days, a general weakening
in home supervision is a contribut-
ing cause for the delinquency, Miss
Lenroot said. More than one million
more women will be needed in in
dustry this year, she reported.
Other factors of delinquency, Miss
Lenroot asserted, are lack of school
facilities in war-expanded commu-
mites, and the increase in child la
bor to five million this year.
There would be little juvenile de-
Gnquency today if children were
treated as as much of an emergency
as armament production" Miss
Lenroot concluded.

ITALY:
Destroy Ports

Italy's northern ports of Leghorn
and Pescara were blocked by Nazl
demolition squads to render them
useless to the Allies for future OPP
erations, or in the event Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower attempted landings
above Rome to trap elements of five
German divisions holding out in the
mountainous country to the south.
Principal action in Italy centered
on the Fifth army front, where
Lieut.. Gen. Mark Clark's mixed
British and U. S. forces were edg-
ing forward at the mountain passes
at Mignano, to gain the long, level
valley leading to Rome.
Once General Clark's warriors
burst through at Mignano, they still
will have to buck elaborate Nazi
mountain fortresses farther up the
valley at Casino, which stands some
60 miles from Rome. Because Al
lied troops must Chamber up rugged
slopes in the face of entrenched en-
emy machine gunners and mortars,
and U. S. artillery must rake whole
mountain sides to clear out Nazi
posts, progress necessarily is slow.
Fit Italy Into Var
To get Italy functioning on the
side of the Allies, Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower established a control
commission headed by Maj. Gen.
Kenyon Joyce, formerly of the 9th
service command.
Purpose of the commission will be
to fit the country's agriculture and
industry into Allied war plans, and
to regulate Italian governmental ad-
ministration.
To prevent any political party
from establishing its hold over the
country through military force, the
commission will control Italy's re-
vived fighting services.
Advising the commission will be
the U. S., British, Russian and
French committee on Mediterranean
affairs, and Greece and Jugoslavia
will be included later.

LEND-LEASE:
British Hid

Up to last June 80, British lend
lease assistance to the U. S. totaled
871 million dollars, of which the ma
jor share consisted in supplying
base facilities, barracks and hos
pitals for American land and air
forces in the United Kingdom. In
complete figures indicated assist
anceNto date has topped one billion
dollars.
Not included in the accounting,
the British said, was the cost of
food furnished on the fighting fronts
where no adequate records could be
kept, and the value of information
and experience gained in battle and
relayed to the u. S. army and in
dustry.
The British assistance does not in
clude lend-lease granted the U. S..
by Australia, New Zealand, South
africa and India, who operate under
separate agreements. On August Is,
President Roosevelt reported U. S.
lend-lease assistance to Britain

els.
With October weather good and
without widespread frosts, the large
acreage of late corn reached ma
turity in Iowa, Missouri, northwest
ern Ohio, and parts of Michigan
and Indiana. Checking summer
drouths, rains perked up late corn
in the South Central states. Record
yields were in prospect for the
Northwest.

FEWER TIRES FOR ALLIES


One thing not discussed at the
Moscow conference was rubber
tires. If the question had been
raised, Russia would have been told
that tires on Lend-Lease will have
to be reduced sharply.
Reason is that U. S. trucks and
buses are wearing their tires down
to the fabric, and Jesse Jones' long
ballyhooed synthetic tires are fall
ing behind schedule. There is plenty
of new rubber, but a dire lag in
tire production.
Meanwhile, bus and truck trans
portation has never been more vital.
Last year inter-city buses carried
more passengers than the railroads
(680 million compared with $50 mil
lion), though they travelled fewer
miles.
If they are crippled, the weight
would be thrown back on the already
struggling railroads. Also, many
places would be without transporta-
ton, since $4,000 communities have
no rail service.
The army, OPA, ODT and the rub
ber directors office are putting their
heads together to find a way out.
One solution will be reduction Of
tires shipped on Lend-Lease. Russia
alone was promised 100000 this
year, in addition to 1000, 900 already
delivered.
