 LEGISLATION
 INTRODUCED
Part of Coming Sweat and SeIf-DeniaI on Home.
 Front Is Involved

WASHINGTON, May 22.-A six billion. two-hundred and seventy three million, six-hundred and twenty nine thousand dollar lend lease supplemental appropriations measure, representing in part the coming sweat and self-denial on the home front, has been sent to the floor of the House with the assurance that it would shorten materially the march of the United Nations to complete victory"
 The House Appropriations com- mittee also laid on the line a mass of testimony edited carefully to prevent military secrets from reach ing the enemy, including the word of Administrator Edward Stettinius that shipments of food will be boosted from six percent, the total of last year, to ten percent this year.
 This will boost to approximately twenty-four billion dollars the total of the end-lease program.

An ominous silence prevails along the Russian front, evidence point ing to the upper approaching zero hour of the long expected German offensive says the Moscow radio
 On the German side of the front, the invaders continue to pile up stores of ammunition and tanks and men
 The summer push may come at almost anytime now.
 One frontline Soviet dispatch de- scribed the present tenseness of the atmosphere as stern silence.
 London ignores the German ra- dio reports the Red Army has launched drives of it's own as pre- ludes to the offensive in the Cau- casus and Orel sectors.
 The Berlin broadcast said the Russians have concentrated strong offensive forces on the whole Ku- ban front in order to capture the German Rumanian bridgehead' and added it is believed the Berlin Kuban drive will start at the same time as the expected Soviet offen- siye south of Moscow"

ATTU FIGHTING TOUGH;
 KISKA TO BE TOUGHER

SEATTLE, May g. - An Army Sergeant who has faced death many times over Kiska and Attu, express sed belief that fighting at Attu is tougher than generally realized and the cost will be greater than the people expect, but the heavily for tified Kiska-"there is the hardest nut to crack"
 Sergt. Alexander Lasson, here waiting return to the north. made the statement. He is an Air Force gunner returning after an emer- gency leave to attend the funeral of his mother at Fall River. Mas sachusetts
 In telling of his experiences, he said one raid on Kiska brought near disaster when ack ack shells blasted through the open bomb doors of his plane just after the bombs had been released, and shot away the signal rudder cables and the hydraulic system was wrecked.
 Four zeros jumped the plane.
 T got one, the tail gunner got one and the third was probably shot down. The fourth Zero just left"
 The plane made the home field without mishap but piled up in a ditch because of no brakes. No enc was hurt, said Lasson.

The W ashingt ion
 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert s. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON. = Certain Sena- tors who have been working back stage for a streamlined war cab inet" got some interesting ammuni- tion when they cross-examined one of the Presidents close associates at closed-door committee meet ing
 They learned that cabinet meet ings, except for an increase in the number of participants, still are being conducted on an informal, cracker barrel basis, with no plan or system.
 The weekly meetings are conduct ed with an agenda. Cabinet offl- cers and agency heads never know what will be discussed from week to week, frequently come unpre- pared for policy questions tn a affect them.
 Senators who have been digging into the matter feel that the White House secretariat should contact de- partment and agency heads sever al days before a cabinet meeting to learn what problems they want to discuss with the President. On the basis of this, as well as mat ters the President himself intends to bring up, an advance memoran- dunn could be prepared and distri- buted before the meeting.
 Besides regular cabinet officers there are usually a dozen other top government officials at White House sessions, including Harry Hopkins Manpower Chief Paul McNutt, WIPE Chief Donald Nelson, Farm Czar Chester Davis, Economic Stabilizer James Byrnes, Admiral William D. Leahy.
 Time was when disputes between departments and agencies were ironed out at a cabinet meeting but not now. Even disputes affect ing major military and domestic policies are passed over. Favorite

PEARL HARBOR, May 22.-The United States appears to be pre- pairing for a mighty blow against the Japanese in the Pacific for which Attu, Amchatka, Adak, Rus sell Islands and the Solomons are only warm-upS.
 The current strategy appears to keep the Japanese in widely sep arated places and then strike where it will hurt the most.
 Where and when this strike will be made is subject of much con- lecture.
 A good guess might be at Rabaul, New Britain Island, this summer. Rabaul is Japan's strongest outpost in the south, base far better de-
