Chemicals Will Expond

Boston, Aug. 30 -(UP)- The American chemical industry faces new expansion after the war which will even exceed in scope that which followed World War I, the United Business Service said today.
 Although chemical production this year probably will exceed $2,O00, ,000.- GOO, as compared with pre-war levels around $1, HOO, 100000, the industry is not over-built, the service said.
 Huge latent demand for civilian goods now curtailed by the war, and relatively great exports, will contrib ute to increased chemical produc- tion, according to the report.
 Plastics, plasticizers, synthetics and solvents are only few of the important chemical divisions which have tremendous growth prospects, the service said

Stopped Offensives
 The hedgehog defenses of Tagan- rog, 35 miles west of Rostov, stopped both the 1941-42 and 1942-43 Rus sian winter offensives and its evac- uation came as a surprise to military quarters in London since there had been no indication of an immediate threat to the city.
 However, the German broadcast spoke of Soviet attempts to dis turb" German troop movements and asserted that German naval forces in the Sea of Azov sank two out of force of six Soviet motor gunboats southwest of Taganrog- an indication that the Russians launched a coordinated land and sea drive against the port.
 The mounting Soviet offensive in the Donets Basin to the northwest also posed growing threat of en- trapment over Taganrog, which lay at the easternmost point of deep German salient at the southern end of the front.
 The fall of Taganrog opens the way for a quick soviet drive to the Kalmus river, 60 miles to the west,

Stockholm, Aug. 30- (UP) - The critical Swedish situation was aggravated today by a sharp Nazi note asserting two Swedish fishing trawlers were sunk last Wednesday in the Skaggerak be- cause they violated their country's neutrality.

 GA Berlin radio broadcast heard in London accused the Swedish press of a hostile attitude toward Germany because of Allied agitation and added in connection with the trawler incident, '"The Swedish peo- pie would do good to remember 1t ic the people who pay for window panes which its irresponsible press is smashing.")

 London, Aug. 30. = (UP) - The Axis grip on both satellite and neu- tral nations has slipped at least 50 per cent since Germany's prestige was at its hegiht, a nation by ma tion roundup of Hitler's purported European citadel revealed today.
 Not g. single nation of Europe appeared to have escaped the trend away from the Axis and towrd the Allies, indicating the certainty that one of Hitler's major problems in the final phase of the war would be protection of his own internal lines.
 At the moment when demands on the Wehrmacht in Russia, veteran Europe and on the Italian frontier have reached their maximum, the German high command appeared to have bene forced to divert ever larg- CT forces to guarantee security with in the so-called citadel.
 Momentum of the trend was in- creased sharply by the fall of Mus solini,t he successful Russian sum? mer offensive and the growing weight of Allied air attacks.

 Allied Headquarters, South west Pacific, August 30. - (UP) - American troops have captured Arundel Is- land to bring Villa, last major Japanese base in the New Georgias, within close artil- lery range, it was announced today.
 Seizure of the islaEd last Friday by unopposed Yankee jungle fighters paved the way for a quick attack on Kolom- bangara, site of Villa, by clos ing the over-water gap north of New Georgia to less than a mile across Blackett Strait.
 Troops In Cave
 Reports did not indicate whether American guns already had been set up to blast villa. The base and airfield, garrisoned by an estimated 5000 enemy troops, lie in cove lit tie more than two miles from the northern edge of Arundel.
 Japanese troops on Arundel ap- peared to have fled soon after their comrades evacuated Bairoko Harbor on New Georgia under American attack, and U. s. forces seized sev- eral small islands to ti,s south last week.
 A coral island about 10 miles long and five wide, Arundel lies off the northwestern New Georgia and blocks the western ends of the eight mile-wide Kula Gulf except for the narrow channel of Blackett Strait separating it from Kolombangara on the north.

What Price Parental RIGHTS?

and when you find that he is getting
fussy, be on your way before there
is scene.
This does not mean that you
should neglect the small fry. They
should have all OF your attention
that they need, but they should
have it within the hours of their
own day and in their own world.
When o'clock comes, adults are
as tired as the children. It is
disastrous to both of them to try
to be disciplinary or demanding
then. The little ones should have
had their supper, be relaxed enough
for a half hour of quiet play or
talking with their parents and then
be off to their own rooms to color,
or read, or play with toys until bed
time.
If this is routine in your household
you will not be annoyed or exas-
perated all during the evening by
demands for a drink of water or
anything else that will bring you up
the stairs, furnishing the attention
the little tyrant in the crib demands
Of you. Your tired little son will be
ready for quiet. His day has been
complete with all the affection and
attention you have given him. He
feels secure and reassured that If he
needs you. you are within call. But
he also knows that you will not
tolerate selfish and unnecessary
demands.
There is nothing more delightful
than the well trained child. Any
child that is smart enough to be an
noying and demanding is also intel
ligent enough to understand when
the opposite tactics make him ap-
pealing. With strict rules laid down
by parents, he soon learns just what
he may be permitted to do. He is
likely to reap his reward by being
the most welcome child in the
neighborhood
Evening star., 1943-07-19

Parents and their adult friends are
entitled to few rights. They should
not permit themselves to be the vic
tins of their own or other peoples
children all of the time. There are
meny occasions in this modern world
when some of us wish that the old
fashioned adage, children should
be seen and not heard" could be
more generally understood.
at Is most unusual to run across an
adult that does not care for children
Even though they may be annoyed
by them on occasion, they restrain
themselves tactfully, until some fond
parent shows off her small prodigy
Numerically. Any one who has ever
been subjected to this never makes
the same mistake twice, and is likely
tasavoid that household until enough
years have passed that they can be
sure the Smart" child is away at
boarding school, or some equally
remote spot.
kdults have need of their friends
these busy days. The o'clock or
atter-dinner visiting hour should be
aIrelaxation for them. 1t should not
bA spoiled for both groWnups and
children by trying to fit the child
into adult conversation, or asking
the guests to play down to the
Juvenile level.
MANY of us have no nursemaids.
If parents go out, it is often neces-
sary to take the children along. In
this case little advance training
on what you expect of your child
might be in order.
