MRS. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, wife of
AVx the nations chief executive, address
ing the Sixth Constitutional Convention of
the Congress of Industrial Organizations,
praised the convention action which unanl-
mously adopted the no-strike pledge.
Mrs. Roosevelt told the more than 900
delegates of her visit to troops in Great
Britain before there was actual fighting,
and subsequent visits to army camps actu-
ally in the combat zones.
"It makes a great difference in ones
realization of responsibility" she asserted.
'For this reason am glad that you have
adopted your no-strike pledge, because
feel that to those boys out there the imnor
lance of production is paramount. They
will tell you that the difference between
hanging on to part Of an island with no
airplanes to cover you, with the knowledge
that your munitions were low is a very dill
ferent thing from the feeling they have the
best equipment, equipment that far trans
cends the equipment Of their enemies.

CASUALTY LISTS:
Full Publicity ahead

Confident that the American pub
lie can take the news" govern
ment officials revealed that the ban
on nationwide publication of war
casualty and prisoner lists had
been lifted.
The new policy, officials said,
would permit publication anywhere
and in their entirety, lists of men
killed, wounded, missing or taken
prisoner. Previously newspapers
had been restricted to publishing
the names of men whose next of
kin lived in their particular circu-
lation area.
Explaining the new ruling, one
spokesman declared it had been de-
termined that the publication Of
casualty lists would not jeopardize
national security and moreover,
"the public had enough stamina and
fortitude to take the bad news of
long casualty lists if the papers
care to publish them.

CANNED RATIONINC:
Little Panic Buying

Fears that nation wide
scramble of housewives to buy
canned foodstuffs would develop
following official disclosure that
point rationing system would be
inaugurated in February failed to
materialize as reports from retail
grocers indicated only isolated in
stances of panic buying.
Announcement of the ration plan
which covers more than 200 canned
food items made by Secretary of
Agriculture Claude R. Wiekard had
been attacked by trade representa-
tives as premature" and almost
certain to result in public hoard
ing and unfair distribution of avail
able supplies.
Federal authorities defended the
advance announcement on the
ground that complicated controls
were necessary to administer the
program. They contended, too, that
if the public were not notified,
rumors might circulate and cause
hysterical purchasing.
Grocers attributed the absence Of
panic buying to two major reasons.
One was the governments require
ment that before a rationing book
could be issued, any boarded goods
had to be declared and the equiya-
lent number of rationing coupons
surrendered at the time of regis
tration. The other was that any
case Of boarding where false rep
resentation was made, might be
punishable by a maximum fine of
$4,000 or one year in prison or
both.

tore down other gadgets TO find
parts and within few weeks Radio
Brazzaville somehow became q
voice station. Not perfect, but quite
good enough. The small amateur
station was boosted to $50 watts
seven times its original power. All
this work was done on a highland
day schedule with almost no letup
except once, when a 20-foot boa
constructor turned up in the radio
station grounds and had to be shot.
Assembling a Staff on Congo River
Not the least of the Deejardins
tasks was to assemble a staff to
prepare the programs. 1t might
have been fairly easy in Paris or
London or New York, but not 300
miles up the Congo river. Yet
somehow, somewhere, they collected
one of the strangest assortments
of human beings anywhere on the
globe. One used to teach English
in French schools; another taught
law in Singapore; another was a
Partisan bank clerk; another z
civil engineer. Still another was
gentle little man who used to
sell antiques. An American girl re-
porter chucked a job in Washing
ton and came. A French girl from
South Africa, and another-the
one who took down Hitler's speech
escaped from Alsace and found
her way here.
Ambitious as these programs
are, they're nothing to what's
ahead, in the very near future. En-
route to Brazzayille is the most
powerful short-Wsve transmitter
ever built in Americas 10000
waiter which can thunder any,
where in the world. Radio Brazza-
vile will soon be broadcasting
around the clock in some 20 Allied
languages, plus counter-propa-
ganda in enemy tongues, plus news
in Morse Code to the Free French
sailors.
A brand-new building will re-
place the old warehouse that Radio
Brazzaville has used as emergency
quarters. Not the least of its equip
ment are six pairs of fiber-wheeled
roller skates, so that native mes
sengers can zip around the 500
yards of outer passageways in
short order.

N4~WAY OFFENSIVE:
By Russ Armies

The Russians continued to prove
that while the summer might have
belonged to the invading Nazi
hosts, the winter was the season for
Red revival.
Four strong Soviet armies were
proving this in four separate drives
against the cold and weary Ger
mans. These offensives sprung with
the purpose of destroying Nazi
manpower and equipment and
weakening Hitler's hold on the
Eastern front were centered on the
Rzhev sector, in the Stalingrad
area, in the reaches of the Middle
Don and in the central Caucasus.
The central Caucasus drive was
!. the newest on the Red schedule
Oand was started south of Nalchik,
were Nazi armored mountain units
had been trying unsuccessfully for
weeks to break through to the
Georgian military highway in
Transcaucasia.
Most significant news came from
the Stalingrad area, however, for
Russian communicates reported the
capture of Kotelnikoyski, key
transportation town anchoring
200-mile stretch of the Stalingrad-
Caucasus railroad and a supply
depot for the Nazis' eastern opera
tions. Here big stores of Axis sup
plies were taken over by the Reds.
From Kotelnikovski the Russians
began a spearhead drive toward

Freehold when he signed up for

it each morning and each night.
"It made US feel BETTER" he said
simply. There was one time, too,
when the testament was used and
the men could not feel good. That
was for the burial services of Sgt.
Kaczmarczyk, who died at sea two
days before the party was rescued.
The Bible now belongs to his fa-
ther, Charles Bartek, also a men,

WORLD FEDERATION:
Asked by Wallace

Ever since his "quart of milk a
day" speech forecasting bettered
conditions for the worlds under
privileged, Vice President Henry
A. Wallace has been regarded as a
No. l administration spokesman on
postwar reconstruction.
Thus his latest address propos-
ing a world council to preserve
peace and promote the general wei
-. after the war received close
canon Etion in world chancellories.
everSprt was taken as a major ad-
Riafistration statement of future
plans.
Wallace's recipe for international
organization after the war: "The
maximum of home rule that can be
maintained along with the minimum
of centralized authority that must
come into existence to give the nee
essary protection"
The vice president outlined a
four-fold objective for future peace:
"To preserve the liberty, equality,
security and unity of the United
Nations-liberty in the political
sense; equality of opportunity in
international trade; security y
against war and business depres-
sion due to international causes,
and unity of purpose in promoting
the general welfare of the world"
Concerning the treatment of de-
feated nations he advocated not
only military but psychological
disarmament"
For the American people, Wallace
said, "the war is entering its grim
NEST phase" where we will learn
for the first time the meaning of
war privations. But, he added, Hit
ler's desperate bid for a Nazi
world order has reached and passed
it highest point"

GIRAUD:
Assures Unity

Gen. Henri Giraud had been the
Allies original choice for the post
of high commissioner of North AT
rica. Then the bullet of the 20-year-
old assassin that killed Admiral
Jean Darlan made Giraud's selec-
ton inevitable by the French i'm
perial council.
That the elevation Of Giraud to
the slain Darlan's post had a unity
ing effect was Immediately mani
fest. Not only did the French North
African civil and military forces
rally behind the new commissioner,
but Gen. Charles de Gaulle, leader
of the Fighting French, quickly
pledged his support of Giraud's re-
ime and urged the formation of a
temporary government to unite all
French elements.
While the murder of Darlan un-
deniably settled the controversy
raging through the United Nations
over the North African alliance of
the Allies and the ex-Vichy collabo-
rationist, observers believed that
before his death Darlan had honest
ly recanted his former views and
was wholeheartedly lie d in G his
forces for the liberation of France.
And the defended the wisdom of
General Eisenhower's first alliance
with Darlan.

Radio BrazzavilIe
In Darkest Africa
BY GORDON GAsKILL

! am writing this from the Free
French radio station in Brazzayille,
three hundred miles up the Congo
in the African jungle. Here / found
the "Voice Of Fighting France" F"
the worlds strsngest broadcasting
station.
Brazzayille is, first Of all, the un-
likelist spot on earth for an i'm
portant radio station which rivals
in efficiency anything in London
or New York. Brazzaville is real
Africa, some 300 miles up the
Congo river. 1t is steaming hot;
the sun is a sledge hammer; fever
and worse are always at hand.
Nobody in his widest moments
would have thought that Brazza-
vile would be one of the worlds
radio capitals. 1t became so by
canoe, by necessity, and by the
efforts of three men:
First, the brothers Desjardins-
Captain Francois, the elder, Lieu
tenant Pierre, the younger-both
experienced French newspapermen.
When France fell they escaped to
London, joined De Gaulle as SOL
diers, came with him on that ia
NOUS naval excursion that was a
flop at Dakar, success in the
Cameroons and French Equatorial
Africa.
Radio for Fighting France
At Brazzaville, capital of the lat
ter, De Gaulle asked the two broth
ers to set up Service of Informa-
tion," a radio mouthpiece for Fight
ing France. The third man is a
mild little radio engineer named
Defroyenne, sort of Gallo
Thomas Edison, able to work all
kinds of miracles with meager
equipment. The Desjardines would
tell him about some impossibly in
tricate piece of apparatus they
needed. AS they talked, Defroyenne
would stare dreamily out the win
dow, apparently not hearing a
word. Then he'd wander off, still
in a dream, Then in couple of
days he'd be back smiling shyly,
with exactly what they asked for.
Maybe it was made of bits from
an old tractor and a sewing ma
chine.
Their First Big Problem
With such a man, the Desjardins
tackled their first big problem: to
make Radio Brazzaville talk. There
existed only a Morse Code station
and a fleapower amateur station
with a midget so watts.
The code station had to be "mod-
ulated"-that is, modified so that
it would transmit voice instead of
dots and dashes. The Incompatible
Defroyenne vanished into the gloom
of his worksop dug into old boxes,
