GERMANY:
Raids Devastating

While militay strategists had de-
bated whether aerial warfare could
completely knock out the enemy,
evidence of some of the results of
Allied bombings were dramatically
forthcoming in reports from the
Ruhr valley area, where British
and American airmen had dropped
10000 tons of bombs within month.
One report disclosed that Ger
many had ordered the evacuation of
100000 nonessential civilians from
the bomb-gutted Ruhr. Another re-
vealed that the Nazis had massed
more than 1000 fighter planes in
western Europe to combat the
never-ending Allied raids and had
mounted 10000 anti-aircraft guns
along belt 200 miles long by 20 to
so miles deep.
Under new policy of fully pub
icizing air raid damage, German
propaganda broadcasts said the
Royal Air force had practically
erased" the city of Krefeld on the
western fringe of the Ruhr and had
subjected the populations of both the
Ruhr and the Rhineland to "unbe-
ievable raids"

MEDITERRANEAN:
Axis Kept Guessing

Two events in the eastern Medi-
terranean had given some observers
support for their view that this
theater would be the scene of deci-
sive Allied military activity.
One event was the bombing for
the first time by Allied fiiers of the
strategic Axis-held city of Salonika,
Greece. The other was the evacu-
alton by Italy of Castelross, eastern
most island in the Dodecanese
group, lying between Greece and
Turkey. Strategists saw the posi-
bilities inherent in an Allied move
via Egypt and Syria on mainland
Greece and the Balkans.
Meanwhile steady attention to the
task of softening up Italy proper
and its neighboring island satellites
was given by the RAF and U. S.
air forces.
One of the most spectacular Allied
feats was the Inauguration of "shut-
tle'' bombing service. This was ac-
complished by British Lancasters
which had bombed Friedrichshafen
in Germany, flown on to African
bases and returned home to Eng
land, blasting Italian naval bases
atLa Spezia along the way.
The tenseness of the Axis over
impending Allied threats was reflect
ed in the action of Italian secret
police in arresting more than II 900
persons in a search for possible fifth
columnists.

COAL:
Draft for Strikers

Coal rationing for both industrial
and domestic consumers loomed as
Fuel Administrator Harold L. Ickes
expressed doubt that production
losses incurred by three strikes in
less than two months could be made
up.
Mr.. Ickes had announced that he
was preparing to undertake active
participation in the supervision OF
management and operation" of coal
mines including possible changes in
operating personnel.
Previously, President Roosevelt
had warned coal miners and other
workers in government-operated in
dustries that those who walk out on
strike in future would be inducted
into the nations armed forces. The
President announced that he would
ask congress for authority to draft
men up to the age of IS for non
combatant service.
In a statement bitterly denouncing
the action of the United Mine Work
ers leadership as ''intolerable," Mr..
Roosevelt had declared that for the
time being mines would continue
under operation of Fuel Administra-
tor Ickes." The terms, he said,
would be those laid down by the War
Labor board.

APPROPRIATIONS
AND THE WAR EFFORT
Released by Western Newspaper Union.

APPROPRIATIONS
AND THE WAR EFFORT
THE PRESIDENT has been in
elined to be critical Of congress for
what he has termed its lethargy in
regard to the war. There can GER
tainly be no criticism on the subject
of appropriations for they keep well
ahead of the Presidents ability to
spend. From January, 1940, to
March, 1943, congress appropriated
for war purposes only over 240 bill
lion dollars. During the same period,
the President had been able to spend
only some 80 billion dollars. That
expenditure covered not only the
war commodities we bought, but in
cluded Billions spent for the erection
and equipment of war production
plants and billions more for food
and other commodities purchased
for our Allies by lend-lease funds.
Even at the high cost of production
caused by an ever-increasing wage
scale, and the paying of time and a
half for over 40 hours, we simply
cannot produce enough to eat up all
the vast sums congress has put into
the hands of the President. At the
present time, including the new
army and navy appropriations, the
President has at his command an
unexpended balance of more than
$50 billion dollars. It will take some
spending to get rid of such an
amount. Congress gives him what
he asks for without dissenting
vote. Neither Republican nor Demo-
crat will vote against war appro-
priation bill.

FOOD:
Czar after AL?

Food had continued to hold the
Washington limelight as the house
agricultural committee had report
ed on a bill designed to take all
food rationing and pricing powers
from the Office of Price Admins
tration and transfer them to War
Food Administrator Chester c.
Davis.
Congressional sentiment for Great
ing a food "czar" had increased in
spite of the opposition of President
Roosevelt to such measure. Dis
satisfied over home front war op-
erations, proponents of the new bill
wanted to vest complete authority
over food production, transporta-
tion, distribution, pricing and ration
ing of foods under Mr.. Davis who
hitherto has had charge only of pro-
duction and distribution.
AS congressional temperatures
rose in debate over the proposals,
reports of improved weather and
crop conditions helped ease official
tension over 1943 food production
prospects. Particular improvements
were reported in midwestern grain,
livestock and dairy regions.
The Ely miner., 1943-07-08
RUSSIA:
labs and Feints

Feints and slashes had continued
to characterize the action on the
far-flung but relatively quiescent
Russian front.
With the long-heralded German Of
fenSive still in the conversation
stage and the Soviet forces still gath
ering strength for decisive engage
ments, the rival armies had content
ed themselves with jabs at localized
areas. Thus Russian communiques
had reported a series of incidents
on the Orel, Smolensk, Belgorod,
Staraya Russa and Lehingrad sec
tors.
Russian artillery was credited
with blowing up the headquarters Of
an enemy battalion near Sevesk, in
the Kursk' salient. But nowhere
along the front was large-scale fight
ing reported.
Observers who recalled that a
year before the Nazis had already
started their ill-fated expedition
against Stalingrad and their often
sives for Caucasus oil believed the
current inactivity was due to wan
ing German air power, weakened on
the Russ front to bolster bomb
shattered areas in western Europe.

CANADA: Humphrey Mitchell,
Canadian minister of labor, an
nounced that all youths of 16 to Is
are now subject to compulsory labor
transfer.
LOSS: Fuel administration statis-
ticians estimated that recent coal
strikes had cut coal production in
the United States more than 20,000,-
600 tons.
CONFIDENCE: Prime Minister
John Curtin's Labor government
won a vote of confidence in the Aus
tralian parliament by single bal
lot. The narrow margin was inter-
preted as forecasting an early gen.
eral election in the Commonwealth.
COAL: Britain's coal situation is
facing a wartime crisis with pro-
duction steadily declining, parlia-
ment was informed. Reports showed
that coal output had fallen from
230 million tons in 1910 to 209 million
tons in 1913.

POSTWAR:
Problems ahead

Addressing 500 business leaders
and army and navy officers in Chi
cago, Alfred P. Sloan Jr., chairman
of the General Motors corporation,
declared that he is not worried about
the immediate postwar era in the
United States, but that he is con-
siderably concerned about the dis
tant future
The nation, Mr.. Sloan declared,
faces postwar period in which it
will take at least five years to catch
up with the accumulated consumer
demand for goods.
The letdown will come when this
pent-up buying power has been ex-
hausted, unless private industry is
successful in drawing blueprints for
winning the peace, he predicted. Mr..
Sloan particularly urged the gov
ernment to make a frank state
ment of policy now regarding its
peacetime intentions to enable in
dustry to plan intelligently. Gov
ernment, he said, should allow in
dustry to build up profitable reserves
on a taX-free basis.

SMALL BUSINESS:
Reserves for Peace

The National Association of Small
Business men through its president,
Dewitt Emery, urged congress to
permit plants engaged in war con-
tracts to set aside tax-free reserves
for easing postwar transition back
to peacetime production.
Unless such provisions are forth
coming, Emery told the house naval
committee studying war contracts,
thousands of businesses will be
shut down after the war, awaiting
the whim of some bureaucrat" as
to whether they can remain in busi-
ness.
Emery suggested an allowable tax
free reserve of per cent of all
sales up to $1,0O0,0O0 and recon-
mended that reserves above that fig
ure be scaled down to one-half of
per cent.

MARATHON:
Yanks Hit Mdcassar

Forecasting what will be routine
assignments in months to come,
Liberator bombers made a 1000
mile round trip raid from Australia
to the japanese air and sea bases
at Macassar on Celebes island,
where Allied airmen dropped % tons
of bombs on enemy detectives, dam
aging shipping installations and hit
ting Jap cruiser and merchant
man.
The raid marked the first retalia-
ton on the Japs in the Celebes Sec
tor since the enemy seized Macas-
sar early in 1912 when the Nipponese
seized the Dutch East Indies.

RAIL PAY:

In a move to hold the dikes
against onrushing imitation, Fred M.
Vinson, stabilization director, disap-
proved wage increases of eight cents
an hour for 100000 incorporating
railway employees. The proposed
increases would have boosted wages
paid by the railways by 5000, 0,000,0 900

Indications that some solution for

SUCCESSFUL FORMULA
FOR FARMERS

WHEN A BOY back in the early
eighties, it was pleasure to visit
the farm home of Uncle John Mich
OILS and listen to the "reminiscences
of the patriarch then well beyond
the four score year span of life.
Uncle John was an Iowa pioneer of
1910.
''When Mother and Ben and
came to Iowa, three other couples
came with us and the four men took
up the claims that are now this
farm, he said.
"We were all New England born
and raised, but only two of us had
been farm raised, that was Bill
Rocks and me. The other two men
came from town. All proved upon
our adjoining claims, but the two
from town did not have the know
how and Bill expected the rain,.
sunshine and soil to do it all. In
time I bought the other three claims
and with mine, they make this $40
acre farm. Yes, sir, it takes some
thing more than rain, sunshine and
soil to make success of farming.
The other things are 'know-how' and
work, just as they are needed in any
other business"

MORE PLANES TO CHINA
0REW REAASNN
Washington, d. C.

1t can now be revealed that the
bottleneck has been broken in trans
portation to China, and greater
quantities of equipment for air op-
erations against the japanese are
being moved.
This is an encouraging develop
ment following the successful Chi
nese operations against the Japs in
the Ichang area within recent
weeks. Incidentally, these opera
tions have been somewhat exag-
gerated by the Chinese. 1t now ap-
pears that the Japs did not intend to
move against Chungking, nor did
they have quite the number of men
earlier reported.
The outstanding point, however, is
that the Chinese were successful
largely as a result of air power.
This was a tribute not only to Chen
nault and the American pilots, but
also to contingent of Chinese pi-
lots flying with the Chennault group.
Until recently it was not desirable
to increase the number of planes in
China, because the limited supply
facilities by air from India consti-
tuted bottleneck. There was no
need of having more planes if they
could not be supplied with fuel and
bombs for operation. Now, however,
greater number of transport
planes has been provided for this
service and it has become feasible to
increase the number of combat
planes at the end of the line in
China.

Big scale land offensives against
japan were apparently not on the
schedule until after the monsoon
season made Burma operations pos

no evidence of lessening their bomb
ing forays against the foe.
In China, American f1iers support
ed by ground forces of Gen. Chang

centers in the Tung Tink Lake area
and wrought damage against enemy
shipping on the Yangtze river.
Flying in from bases in India,

force strafed Jap installations at

miles from Mandalay, Burma.

Bureaus Mushroom,

Turning from postwar interna-

problems, the 35th annual governors
conference adopted resolutions on

SPAIN
Reports had persisted that the
Spanish monarchy was to be re-
