RUSSIANS:
Repeat Old History

/, Back over the snowy Russian
steppes where Napoleon's army per-
ished long ago reeled the retreating
German legions.
While the collapse of Nazi resist
ance at Rzhev had been of high i'm
mediate strategic Importance to the
Red command it was prophetic of
further Nazi reverses, for with the
whole German salient west of Mos
cow unhinged, the fate of Orel and
Vyazma to the east virtually sealed.
The rapidity of the Russian adj
vance was indicated by the capture
soon afterward of Olenino IS miles
west of Rzhev giving control of the
railway running from Moscow to We
LIKE Luki.
While German spokesman de-
scribed the Rzhev defeat as a stra-
tegic withdrawal to shorten Nazi
lines, Allied military observers saw
in it a threat to all Axis defenses
from Smolensk to the Baltic sea.
In the South the Russians had
moved forward more slowly, inped-
ed by the first thaws of oncoming
spring. But Red forces were re-
ported driving forward from recap
tured Lgov, important railroad cen
ter west Of Kursk.

nomenal mental power but some
day it is going to explode"
Suicide the End?
Without revealing the source, I
have heard the opinion expressed by
man who has seen and met with
Hitler many times and is exceeding
ly familiar with his life, that it is
quite possible that a mental decline
has started which, he believes, may
end in suicide.
On my own score, may say that
when I heard Hitler deliver his IA
NOUS speech at the start of the war
in 1889 in which he said that he was
going to the front and would lead
Germany to victory, that he would
not take off his uniform until this
had been achieved, and in the next
breath named his successors, I
thought he was preparing for suicide.
doubt if he is now dead. He may
not even be Ill but the thing is, there
has been no report of any public
appearance for a long time.
That, of course, is hearsay evil
dence-or long-distance diagnosis
but what Oechsner reports comes
from first-hand authority.
So Hitler may already be in a
padded cell-and nobody seems to
care!

BLACK MARKET:
Action on Meat

Action rather than words was the
keystone of'a program sponsored by
the OPA and the department of ag-
riculture to smash the black mar
kets In meat.
First barrage laid down in this
offensive was Price Administrator
Prentiss M. Browns order imposing
specific retail price ceilings on meat,
beginning with pork products. Sec
ond attack came in the announce
ment by Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard Of orders licensing livestock
slaughterers as well as those who
buy and sell livestock for slaughter.
Effective April /, the meat ceilings
were expected to check black mar
kets and end an unjust squeeze"
on packers. Mr.. Brown said they
would also lay the groundwork for
the start of meat rationing about
April Is. Pork ceilings were to be
followed by uniform regulations on
beef and lamb.
When red meat rationing is i'm
dertaken, the order will include ba-
con, butter, cheese, lard and other
cooking fats.
With prices uniform throughout a
community on all cuts of meat,
Brown said, it would be difficult for
dealers to get rid of illicit meat at
higher prices.

NAVY:
Predict 1919 Losses

A navy ''big enough to dominate
all seas over the world was envi-
stoned by Secretary Frank Knox,
who added a warning that the Amer
lean people must be prepared to ex-
pect a 10 per cent casualty rate in
navy personnel before the wars
end.
Secretary Knox and ranking naval
officials unfolded a program for
building up personnel strength to
2,250, 900 by July, 1914, in testimony
before the house subcommittee on
naval appropriations. Appropria-
tons totaling $3,816, 600, 900 to nipple
ment this program were approved
by the subcommittee.
The navy had 3,2O5 ships in COM
mission on January /, 1943, accord
ing to Rear Admiral Randall Ja-
cobs, chief Of the bureau of person.
mel. This number viii be increased
to approximately 4,100 by the end
of the year, he added.

SMALL BUSINESS:
Good Ne,Us ahead

Good news for small business con-
Germs was forthcoming from Charles
E. Wilson, executive vice chairman
of the War Production board when
he announced that war contracts
placed with smaller companies twill
run into billions of dollars by the
end of the year."
Wilson said that more than $780,
100000 of work a week is being
placed now with small business firms
through the efforts of the Smaller
War Plants corporation.
The WPB's program for small
business, Wilson said, includes: l.
An increase in the number of prime
contracts placed with small plants;
2-Widening of WPB's lending poll
cy to make loans to small business
easier; a. Certification of more
small plants to handle war con-
tracts.

DRAFT:
Fathers Go Soon

Draft boards will begin inducing
fathers into the armed forces in
many areas of the United States
about May 1, informed officials in
Washington indicated. These Off
cials added that they expected draft
ing of married men with children
to be general throughout the coun-
try by early summer.
Acknowledging that some married
men with children have already been
indicted, selective service officials
declared that most of these had ac-
quired their dependents after De-
cember 8, 1871. Other fathers, it
was said, may not be indicted with
out authorization from selective
service headquarters. It was pre-
dicted, however, that such authori-
cation would be forthcoming this
spring.

ABSENTEEISM:
Wage Docking Urged

"Hit them in the pocketbook. If
you dock their wages you are hit
ting them where it hurts
This was the prescription for cur
ing the problem of persistent absen-
teeism by war plant workers pro-
posed by Secretary of Navy Frank
Knox. Testifying before the house
naval affairs committee, Knox adj
vocated remedial legislations cover
ing both draft-age and non-draft-age
workers.
A large share of the absenteeism
is caused by men safe from the
draft, he told the committee which
was studying measures to require
periodic reports to local draft boards
on absentees of military age. Best
results in curing absenteeism would
be to deprive such workers of earn
ings for part of the time they were
actually at work, he added.
