used to harass further drives to the
north toward the Philippines.
For this task, imaginative General
Macarthur is using large air fleets.
Hundreds Of Liberator and Mitchell
bornbers poured $50 tons OF bombs
on Rabaul, leaving that important
Japanese supply depot for their en-
tire Southwest Pacific front, snok-
ing in ruins.
After Rabaul, General MacAr-
thurs bombers trained their sights
on remaining Jap air bases in the
Solomons, and with u. S. fighters,
attacked the main airdromes from
which the enemy has been raiding
Allied posts to the south.
Southwest China Periled
Trying to seal off the back door
Of China, three strong Japanese col
unns drove toward Yunnan prov
ince's capital Of Running.
The Japs attacked along the Bur-
ma road, which leads into China at
the point of the enenny's new attack.
Chinese forces bitterly resisted the
Japs' drive, with the aid Of the 18th
U. S. air force, which pounded the
invaders gas and oil dumps and
military installations.
With the Japs dominating much
Of the eastern coast Of China, key
to the entrance Of the country lies
in the southwestern section, known
as Yunnan province. This section
assumes important significance with
talk of Allied plans Of driving into
China from Burma.

INDIA:
Famine Relief

To relieve famine conditions which
reached their worst peak in Bengal
province, the central government Of
India placed ban on the export
of all grain from the stricken coun-
try.
At the same time, officials said
every effort was being made to OBJ
tain more shipping for importation
Of food. However, it was said that
midas famine was of such proper
ton that imports alone could not en-
tirely appease the hunger.
Worst conditions existed In Ben
gal province, where scarcity Of rice
was aggravated by the high prices
being asked for the staple despite
the low level of the populace's In
come.
Government purchase of the en-
tire rice crop and resale was seen
as partial solution to the famine
problem.

Hot Box, Flat Car, Morgue
Are Battlefront Exchanges

The WACs are gradually taking
over the telephone switchboards in
North Africa, thus releasing the.
men operators for service in the
fields of battle. These girls are
doing vital job, operating some
of the most important war equip
ment in the world. And according
to the various generals, their eff
ficiency is unsurpassed.
The wartime phone systems
have exchanges also. But G.. rs
don't give them sedate names such

front, they ask for: Grizzly Bear,
Gypsy Lee, Morphine, Hot Box,

RECOVERY:
Would Use Old Models

In order to speed reconversion to
civilian goods after the war, War
Production board officials have sug-
gested manufacture Of 1912 models
with tools already available.
If plans were made for the pro-
duction Of new models, in the auto
mobile industry for instance, WPB
officials said at least 10 months
might be required for retooling.
WPB could enforce manufacture
Of 1912 models, it was said, If it
retained its control over the allot-
ment Of materials. Such control
would be lifted when industries
would be on the way toward develop
ment of new models during the ordi-
nary course Of production.

POSTWAR:
Peace Plans

To prevent future aggression anu
to preserve the peace of the world,
a senate subcommittee proposed
that the United States act through
constitutional processes to join with
free and sovereign nations in the es-
Establishment and maintenance Of in
ternational authority.
The subcommittee's proposal was
considered as likely compromise
between advocates of broad partici-
patton in international plans for pre-
serving world peace, and advocates
Of limited participation, who have
insisted on U. S. freedom to decide
her action on any particular meas
ure for maintaining order.
The subcommittee proposal was
little different from the Fulbright
resolution adopted by the house,
calling for the q. creation of
appropriate international machinery
with power adequate to establish
and maintain a just and lasting
peace and as favoring participation
of the U. S. therein through its con-
stitutional processes"

II costs about 6 per cent more to

to survey released by the depart

months Of the year living expenses
rose about 2 per cent above 1912, but

the first time since the war began.
BY August the level dropped to
slightly less than 6 per cent over

autumn and winter months win not
affect the overall picture.

RUSSIA:
Battle RACES

The great battle for the Dnieper
river ragged.
With Russian forces across the
river at several points, German
troops fought desperately to prevent
their organization for full scale en-
circling attacks, which would trap
the Nazi armies from the rear.
Far to the south Of the 750-mile
front, the Reds assaulted Nazi posi-
tons protecting their forces In the
Crimea. Since the Germans held
shortened defense lines in this sec
tor, any Russian breakthrough would
compel them to fall back to the
Dnieper river and thus extend their
battle front, or else trap at least
noe, 900 Nazis.
Standing behind prepared posi-
tions, the Germans bitterly resisted
the Reds repeated attacks ON their
northern lines guarding the Baltic
states and old Poland.

SUBSIDIES:
To Dairy Farmers

To Offset the increased cost Of
feed, the government will pay subsi-
dies ranging from 30 to SO cents
per hundredweight on whole milk
sales, and from 4 to 6 cents pound
on butterfat.
Based on increased feed costs,
the different rates were fixed to as
sist farmers who have to purchase
more feed than formerly, with max
inum payments going to farmers in
drouth counties where feed crops
suffered damage.
Subsidies will be paid after farm
ers submit such satisfactory evil
dence as creamery statements as
to the amount Of milk or butterfat
sold to their AAA~ county committee.
In all, Sh million dairy farmers are
expected to qualify under the 60
million-dollar program.
The whole subsidy question APP
peared to be headed for a thorough
going over again, with the house
banking and currency committee adj
vising congress to allow subsidy pay
ments to producers only, and not to
reduce retail food costs.

voice at the other end of the line.

as quickly as you can. Hurry"

gasped.

You're doing no such thing!" she
said and held on to him like grim
death.
And while they struggled, Adam
leaped into his car and drove oft.
He picked up the nearest doctor
and sped out toward the old Leigh
place, where Brenda Leigh was
bending over Zeb Rottler, trying
to staunch the now of blood from
wound in his side. A pan of
blood-stained water was beside her
and Aunt Mary Mosher, eyes wide
with fear, stood by with fresh
cloths.
