RATIONINC:
Little Hoarding

Despite the fact that more than
200 canned food items will be ra-
toned soon, American housewives
have made very little attempt to
stock their cupboards in advance,
Office of Price Administration
spokesman have pointed out.
The absence of boarding was due
to two factors: Consumers must de-
clare all canned goods on hand,
on the basis of which deductions
will be made from the ration points
allotted each person; the feeling that
boarding would be emphatically un-
patriotic kept many person from
ordering more than the usual supply
of foodstuffs.
Even though a tremendous print
ing job is yet to be completed, OPA
officials expressed hope that the
point-rationing program would get
under way some time in February.

AUTO RATIONINC:
Relax Rules

Under recently announced liberal
lied automobile rationing regula tons
persons engaged in any gainful oc-
cupation (who can show need) can
now purchase new 1871 or earlier
model cars. Also available to such
persons are 1912 model cars with a
list price of more than $4,000.
According to the Office Of Price
Administration it is hoped that this
move will improve the transporta-
ton of persons buying these cars
and will also release their old cars
in the used car market.
All new cars with list price Of
more than $4,000 were released from
the government reserve pool.
Latest announced figures indicate
that the stock pile of passenger auto
mobiles available for military needs
and rationing totals 275,000 cars.

GIFT:
OF 20 Million

In 1889, Walter P. Murphy, head
Of the Standard Railway Equipment
company, gave Northwestern uni
versity $6,735, 900 with which to es-
tablish chronological institute on
the Evanston, ILL.,, campus.
When death came to Walter Muir
ply on December is, 1912. he had
not forgotten Northwestern. A pro-
vision of his will, announced at the
end of the year, gave the univer-
sity more than $4,000, 900 to devel-
op, maintain and operate the tech
biological institute. Beyond this re-
striction the will placed no limita-
ton on the use of the bequest.
The gift raised Northwestern uni
versity to fifth place In amount Of
endowment among the universities
of the country. Harvard, Yale, the
University Of Chicago and the Uni
versity of Rochester lead.

CHINESE MISSION:
Ordered Home

Gen. Hsiung Shih-fei, head Of a
Chinese military mission to this
country, and a majority Of his staff
have been ordered home by Gen.
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek, it was
announced in Washington.
The mission was sent here 10
months ago to contact the joint
Anglo-American military staff and
to confer with U. S. military off,
Gals.
Chinese sources said the return
was prompted by the apparent de-
cision of the joint staff to concen-
trate the efforts of the United Ma
tons on sectors other than the China
front. Dissatisfactio in Chungking
was reported over what it consid-
ers the minor role assigned to China
in Allied strategy. 1t was said that
Hsiung and his colleagues have de-
cided there is no likelihood of a
large scale offensive against Japan
in the near future The closing of the
Burma road was an important fac
tor in the Allied-China plan Of
strategy. "

TAXES:
Record Year

Early on the agenda Of the new
congress was consideration Of some
form of pay-as-you-go tax payment
plan. There were increasing indi-
cations that one of the many pro-
posed methods for meeting this
years income tax out Of this year s
income would be adopted.
Most widely discussed was the pro-
gram advanced by Beardsley Ru1nl,
New York Federal Reserve bank Of
fetal. Under this setup one years
taxes would go by default, and tax
payers would meet 1943 taxes out of
1943 income rather than pay 1912
taxes this year.
Well might congress study tax
plans because this year brings in
creased income tax rates, the per
cent Victory Tax and larger levies
on many everyday living items. And
the treasury department indicated
that to meet the rising cost Of war
even greater sacrifices may become
necessary. But u. S. citizens were

fought Buna front in New Guinea.

ly of advances against stubborn
Japanese resistance.
Striking at Jap coastal fortiica-
tons, ground troops eliminated a

bunkers, then were forced to beat

had been bypassed earlier in the Al
lied drive toward the Buna govern
ment station. It was surrounded sew
eral days before, after tanks and in
fantry had gone ahead to smash
through to the coast and thence turn
west to advance on the Buna air

Up the 4coast from Buna, Allied
bonbers hit at the Lac airdrome

were started at both places. Bomb

CANCSTERS:

Described by J. Edgar Hoover,
FBI chief, as the toughest mob in
the nation, Chicago's Roger Touhy
gang, which escaped from Illinois

the seven who escaped were taken
alive while the other two died I'M

Hoover personally led some so G.

criminals. All Chicago breathed

Two of the five taken alive had
been captured earlier, one in Min

downtown Chicago hotel. With
Touhy when taken was Basil ("The

AFRICA:


Worldwide cooperation Of all
French leaders not captives of the
Axis powers was deemed almost a
certainty when Gen. Henri Giraud,
successor to the assassinated Adm.
Jean Darlan as high commission
err of North Africa, named Gen. AL
phonse JUN as commander in chief
of the French forces in Africa.
JUN commanded French African
forces at the time of the Allied oc-
cupation in November and had since
been collaborating with the pro-
Allied French regime.
The previous appointment of Gil
raud had a unifying effect which was
missing under Darlan. French North
African civil and military forces raj
lied around the new commander, as
did Gen. Charles de Gaulle, leader
of the Fighting French, who would
have no part of Giraud's predeces-
Sor.

plenty inhospitable. This year he is
learning another lesson: Russian
soldiers fight equally well (and in

now reached proportions of major
campaign. AS the Nazi forces fell

Battle in Tunisia

Although the Allied North African
headquarters acknowledged that
British and American forces had
withdrawn from a hill position six
miles northeast of Medjez-el-Bab-
which they held for less than week
competent observers said that the
Allied position as whole was not
materially affected.
French troops in central Tunisia
and American forces to the south
were said to be advancing slowly in
q three.way threat to cut the coastal
road linking Tunisia and Tripolitania.
The main Allied forces near Tunis
still were begged down in mud.
In another area of operations it
appeared as though Field Marshal
Erwin Rommel was intent only on
getting his broken Africa Corps to
Tunisia for the Axis final stand on
the African continent. Rommel had
three possible lines of defense on the
Libyan coast. But British eighth
army patrols broke through the first
one at Wadi Bel Ell Chebir, SIS miles
west of Sirte and 1875 miles east of
Tripoli. Rommeps chances were
lessening. And above all, the Mid
die Eastern command appeared con-
fident.
