London, Feb. 8 -(UP)- British

est raid of the war on Lorient.

Spitflres crossed the southeast coast

Air Forces round-the-clock Often

Watchers on the coast said the
fighters could be seen until they

and they appeared to be heading
south Of Boulogne.
An air ministry cOmmunique said
that preliminary reports indicated
great destruction was caused at

Seven bombers were missing.

the Sugar-coffee book--will entltle
the holder to buy one pair Of shoes
any time between now and June IS.
Clamping down in shoes sales was
one OF the best kept rationing
secrets Of the war. Heretofore
there has been advance notice Of
rationing, resulting In runs" on de-
tail outlets and extensive boarding
Yesterdays announcement was an
almost complete surprise even to re-
porters who were summoned to the
White House to receive 1t from
Sterilization Director James F.
Byrnes.
It will be the first rationing OF
wearing apparel to affect all civil
ians. The only other item Of wear
ing apparel on the ration list Is
heavy-duty rubber footgear.
But shoes will be the 10th item
on the ration list. those preceding
It being sugar, coffee, gasoline, auto
mobiles, tires and tubes, typewriters,
fuel oil, bicycles and heavy duty
rubber footgear. Canned goods will
be added to the list March under
point" rationing system.
Byrnes said shoe rationing was
necessary because of a critical short
age of heavy sole leather, more
than one third of which Is being
used for military and lend-lease
purposes. Rationing, he said, will
make certain that the American
people continue to have all the shoes
they need for the duration of the
war"
Present plans to allow individuals
three pairs Of shoes each year ap-
peared to be we'll on the liberal
side. That is more shoes than the
average American purchased in any
year up to 1896, including the lush
years before 1929.
Byrnes announced that in 1912,
however, Americans bought more
shoes than ever before-450, 000, 900
pairs. That reflected the fact that
civilians had more money to spend
than ever before and also prob
ably reflected considerable hoard
ing by persons who suspected that
shoe rationing was on the horizon.
At a recent shoe sale in Washing
ton, women waited for hours in a
line that extended half the length
of the block.
Byrnes said rationing was ordered
by the War Production Board. Price

BY LYLE c. WILSON

United Press staff Correspondent
Washington, Feb. 8.-(UP)
Bills to draft men from Is
to IS and women from 10 to
SO for war work on the
Selective Service principle
were introduced in the SEN
ate and House today.
Sen. Warren Austin, r.,
VT, and Rep. James w.
Wadsworth, r., N. Y, intro
duced the bills simultaneously.
Their proposed national war SER
vice act Of 1913 would function
through the existing local draft
boards. Men or women civilians
thus chosen for war work shall be
liable to contribute by personal SER
vice to the war effort In O Iloncom-
Blatant capacity, according to his or
her abilities" the bill stated. 1t
would give the government author
ity to put registered and liable men
and women on any Job, anywhere,
any time, subject to the limitation
Of the registrant's abilities.
1.-THE president" the bill said,
Shall also specify the quotas to be
supplied, the qualifications desired
In the persons to be selected, and,
so far as practicable, the places to
which the persons selected will be
assigned"
Among persons exempted from
Selective Service war work would be
women caring for children, aged
persons or Ill persons and any wo-
man during pregnancy.
At a press conference, Wadsworth
and Austin said one purpose OF their
bill was to eliminate coercion on
civilian workers through the mill
tary selective service program.
"For instance" Wadsworth said
there Is the recent order Of the war
manpower commission for all men
between IS and 38 to get into essen
tial Jobs or the armed services. Some
may approve, but 1t was not con-
templated by Congress that the Sc
lective service act should do any
thing more than recruit an army
and navy.
ut was never contemplated as a
club to send men into the army-or
else"
Austin said the new bill would
establish equal treatment for all"
and government by consent Of the
governed" -

plishment, the hackers Of this bill

Political Predictions

"Whats going to happen politically next year?
We hear this question asked quite often recently
If you have any wagers to make you're pretty
safe to bet on the following:
Franklin D. Roosevelt will be reelected for
fourth term, Governor Sidney P. Osborn will be
elected for third term, United States Senator Carl
Hayden will be reelected and Secretary of State Dan
E. Garvey Qieutenant governOr) who succeeded the
late Harry Moore will be elected
These four stronger today than ever be-
FORE Only Mr.. Roosevelt's refusal to seek fourth
term can change prediction in regard to the pres
dency. If the war should end he might not for
another four years in the White House. 1t is extreme
ly unlikely the japanese will be but the
fict in Europe may end this fall. a*a9r'~3
~ Governor Osborn is making one Of the best chief
executives in the history of Arizona He carried
every county last fall Today he is far stronger than
he was in 1912 Each day he gains strength and we
doubt that anyone will care to oppose him for the
Democratic nomination. If he is unopposed it will be
the first time since statehood nominee for the Dem
ocratic nomination for governor has not had an OPP
pOnent
AS long as Carl Hayden desires reelection it is
waste of time for anyone to oppose that very beloved
statesman and as to Dan Garvey he is very popular
secretary of state
Here's two more predictions:
Arizona's delegation to the 1914 presidential con-
vention will support Roosevelt and the state Demo-
cratic convention in April next year will reeect Sam
Morris of Globe as Democratic National Committee
man Having made an excellent committeeman
Morris is entitled to second term
