New England
Gaming Center

THE way the money came out
Il in communities that were
supposed to be sparing and penu-
rious was fairly startling. At
the peak of the fever the horse
race betting in New England
was proportionately higher than
in any other one section of the
country in history. To add to
the gaming uproar, a dog track
was legaliZed in Massachusetts,
to set betting records on that
so-called sport. The number Of
handbooks throughout New Eng
land in the lush days Of the past
decade was probably far greater
than anywhere else in the
United States.
Boston has always been n
great betting town. Before horse
racing 1t bet more on fights and
football and baseball than any
other city. It originated betting
on the latter sport way back in
the early days Of the game.
Boston sports used to follow
the town fighters to outside
cities to bet the opposition to a
standstill. When the Bostonian,
Jimmy Maloney, beat Jack De-
laney in Madison Square Garden
years ago, the Boston mob won
upwards to $4,000 from the
New Workers.
Thus I think that II the New
Englanders throw up their hands
at the idea of a national lottery,
II will be in tubilation rather
than otherwise.

Mr.. Gotham does not explain

he thinks il would be on moral

their stern opposition to all

Boston was rebuilt after a fire

Is really tuberculosis OF the
lungs.

LESS GASOLINE:
For East Coast

While the gasoline ration for IA"
book holders in eastern states was
cut from to liz gallons per week,
these motorists were given the op-
portunity Of using the gasoline as
they pleased, for the ban on pleas
ure driving was removed.
In making public the reduction,
the Office of Price Administration,
Price Administrator Prentiss M.
Brown, announced that "A"-book
holding industrial workers who mo-
tor to their jobs would be allowed
supplemental gasoline.
Having of the basic ration was
made necessary, according to
statement by Petroleum Administra-
tor Harold L. Ickes, because only
$4,000 barrels Of gasoline daily
could be made available for East
coast civilian and industrial use dur
ing April.

MADRID: Describing the present
international conflict as "a war to
the DEATH which might last six or
eight years, Gen. Francisco Franco
told the Spanish assembly that OBJ
jectives of the World war were
changed with the entry of Russia
into the struggle. Referring to the
spread of communism since the Rus
sian revolution, Franco said: 1T is
not necessary for the Soviet armies
to reach nations for the Red revo-
luton to come. No one dreams now
of a short war, or of peace of 100
years."

FARM LABOR:
Defern,e7,t Act Passed

Congress demonstrated unnistak-
ably that 1t meant business in deal
ing with the farm labor shortage.
Evidence of this determination
was found in the senate's action in
passing legislation to defer all es-
sential farm workers from military
service. The measure which had
required house approval would di-
rect draft boards to defer men en-
ployed substantially full-time in pro-
duction of essential foods and f1bers.
Although Secretary of War Henry
L. Stimson had strenuously opposed
blanket farm deferments, sponsors
of the legislation contended such &C
ton was necessary.
The house meanwhile had moved
to combat the farm labor shortage in
another direction, by passing a bill
appropriating 1921, 000,0 900 to recruit
and train 100000 men and women
as '1and army"

BEEF:
Shortage Complicated

The United States would be faced
with a beef shortage even if lend
lease and the armed forces took no
beef, Roy F. Henderson, food dis
tribution administrator, disclosed.
The beef shortage, he said in a
statement released in Washington,
is not due to drop in cattle pro-
duction or slaughtering, or to gov
eminent purchases, but to the alb
normal food demand. Thus if gov
eminent buying were to be stopped,
there would still be ''beef situa-
ton"
AS national income goes up, he
added, the demand for food goes up
and the national income continues
to rise. Housewives, generally, he
said, want to cooperate with the
government. Black market opera
tons have continued because house
wives did not know when the meat
they purchased was black market
and when it was not.

'FREEZE':
100000 Vehicles

AS the nations transportation stu
alton grew more critical because Of
heavier loads and lack of new equip
ment, ODT Director Joseph B. East
man moved to prevent the ''migra-
tom Of vehicles from one area to
another by freezing nearly 100000
buses and street cars in their pres
ent service.
Mr.. Eastman's order applied to
every vehicle carrying nine or more
persons in passenger transportation
in the United States, its territories
and possessions.
Included in new regulations were:
5000 school buses; 10000 inter-city
buses; $4,000 city buses; 10000 rapid
transit, elevated and subway cars;
5000 suburban rail cars; and $500
trackless trolley vehicles.
At the same time, in line with the
governments plans to keep the ma
tons automobiles rolling, OPA Off
cials announced that additional pre-
Pearl Harbor and victory tires
would be available to certain lower

SHOWDOWN:
Looms In Tunisid

Evidence had continued to mount
that the Allies were preparing a
concerted drive that would bring the
North African campaign to a eli
max.
AS the ring around the Axis de-
tenders of coastal Tunisia was tight
ened by the Allied command, two
developments spelled progress to-
ward the final showdown.
One was the upsurge Of offensive
action by American forces under
Lieut. Gen. George S. ("Blood and
Guts") Patton which continued on
after the recapture Of Gafsa and
FL Guettar in central Tunisia and
apparently had as its ultimate goal
the coastal city of Gabes. Replacing
Maj. Gen. Lloyd r. Fredendan on
this front, General Patton brought
with him the reputation of being one
of the most offensive-minded gen.
erals of the army.
Another development Of high sig
nificance was the drive by General
Montgomery British Eighth army
against Marshal Rommeps Mareth
line positions in southeastern Tuai-
STA. Characteristically, tight-lipped
Montgomery had issued no commu-
niques concerning his early moves;
first reports of the offensive had
come from German sources
Together, these two developments
indicated that an Allied squeeze
play was under way against ROM
mers army.

MANPOWER:
Supply and Demand

The problem of manpower for war
industries grew more acute as the
War Manpower commission placed
the steel-producing districts of South
Chicago-Northern Indiana on a 49,
hour week basis and designated 36
areas in the United States as Sec
tons in which a critical labor short
age Is soon expected.
With the supply of labor for es-
sential war work tagging, the VINO
estimated that at least $4,000 es-
sential jobs in munitions, Transport
tation, agriculture and other indus
tries must be filed this year from
the less essential work classes. In
Guided in this latter category were
bartenders, porters, bellhops, night
club and music hall attendants, per-
sons engaged in the liquor trade,
candy, tobacco and florists.
Labor experts indicated that in
order to fill the increasing demand
for workers, employers must hire
more older people, train and employ
more women, use boys under Is
wherever possible and use the phys
ically handicapped for light tasks.
Meanwhile, Robert P. Patterson,
assistant secretary of war, urged
congress to adopt legislation to draft
men and women when necessary to
fill war factory jobs and work on
farms.

UNITY:
For French Factions

Three months OF unpublished
preparation had been necessary for
the action that was to eliminate in
a meeting between Gen. Henri Gil
raud and Gen. Charles DeGaulle
and bridge once and for all the
chasm that had separated the
French North African regime and
the Fighting French.
When Gen. Giraud had announced
that everything reminiscent Of Vichy
rule was to be thrown overheard
and then had followed with decisive
DEGREES translating words into &C.
ton, the day Of French unity
dawned.
Happily received by the DeGaul-
lists, were Giraud's DEGREES multi
flying all Vichy laws discriminating
against Jews, restricting the activi-
ties of labor unions and banning
Freemasonry.
Even before the Giraud DEGREES
and the resignation from his govern
ment Of ex-Vichy officials, Fighting
French leaders meeting in London
rejoiced that events in North Africa
had taken a more favorable turn
and that Giraud's invitation to De-
Gaulle for a conference would meet
a friendly reception.
Further evidence Of the increasing
unity of French interests was the
action Of French Guiana's govern
