Don't Waste
Power, Says
A. E. p.

Another, and important con-
servation program was lraugu-
rated this week. with the radio
announcement Monday night by
the Office of War Information,
for a cooperative effort on the
part of business, industry and the
public to voluntarily curtail the
use Of electricity.
J. A. Krug, director of the Of
flee of war utilities, states that
while there is ample generating
capacity to meet all forseeable
electric needs, it is necessary to
be sparing in the use of electric
ity so as to reduce directly or in
directly the demand for fuel,
transportation. manpower and
materials.
It is estimated by the Govern
ment that in a years time sever
al million tons of coal can be
saved as well as six thousand
pounds of tungsten, which is
enough Of this very critical ma
terial to supply the army and
navy radio and radar tubes for
six months period.
The government report indi-
Gates that conservation may i'm
pede the war effort if not appE-
ed within reason. The report on
the program contains the warn
ing that no effort should be made
to curtail necessary military,
aviation and police lighting, light
ing essential to public health in
Guiding eyesight conservation and
safety, plant protection, transpor
tation and production purposes.
1t appears that commercial
establishments will feel the eff
fects of this program more than
any other class. as it calls for
drastic curtailment in lighting for
advertising, sign and decorative
lighting and show window light
ing.
The War Production Board urg
es hcuseholders to eliminate all
waste in the use of various ap
pliances and to turn off lights
and appliances when not needed.
For the average citizen the pro-
gram boils down to this-"Don't
Waste Electricity"

PLAIN WARNING TO YOU!
Here is a plain warning for
you +.
This war will last until l949
or longer if the home front fails
to back up our men in battle"
~ Ik'IIIIllsEI111 Knox, secre-

sssssess ssssass1s Buying War
Bonds to the point of temporary
personal sacrifice is the most di-
rect way you can comply with
Secretary Knox's appeal.
Temporary sacrifice" is the
correct phrase because you are
only lending your money when
you buy War Bonds. This gov
eminent which never has de-
faulted on an obligation will pay
you back 81 for every So invested
if you hold the bonds for 10
years.
The least you can do is to back
the attack with War Bonds to-
day. Buy extra Bonds above
your normal Bond buying.

ARMY FOOD SUPPLY
Nevada State JournaD

Nevada State JournaD
The war department 5 statement on the
army food supply is interesting as rev.
elation of the eating habits of the best
fed armed force in the world, but it is
even more important as a contribution
to the peoples thought about what can
reasonably be expected of the American
army in the field.
The army buys food at the rate of 15,-
900 tons a day. The average soldier eats
five and half pounds of food a day,
which is about twice the average daily
food consumption of civilians. It's caloric
value is 1900 These figures mean that
the average soldier is working much
harder than the average civilian.
Much has been said about the cOncen-
trated field ration of the soldier. 1t is
described in terms of ounces. But it is
by no means the regular field ration. 1t
is an emergency ration. The army at
tempts to get the full ration to all men
in the field. 1t has no choice in the mat
ter. for if the soldiers subsistence is not
held to the level of his eXertions, his bat
tie power soon declines. Food is weap-
on in more ways than one.
Obviously. field army can not pro-
ceed from its base until food reserve
has been accumulated to feed the men in
the campaign. The task of transporting
this vast food supply to an overseas base
and arranging to store it and to transport
it as reQuisitioned by the army is prob
lem Of supply which must be solved be-
fore a commander can do much about his
fighting mission.
Food is only one item in supply, but the
magnitude of the food supply is enough
in itself to explain the delays which fire.
quently are overlooked in popular esti-
mates of a military situation. The fig
ures should be kept in mind when fore
casts of field army performance are in
the making.

LET'S BE PATIENT
WITH CONGRESS

Here and there one observes a growing
tendency to be alarmed at the apparent
confusion existing in Congress. Usually
il is accompanied by a similarly growing
tendency to condemn that body because
it hardly appears to know where 1t gong
or how it is to get there.
We should adopt a more indulgent at
titude.
1t should be realized that Congress Is
partially in its swaddling clothes insofar
as making up its own mind is concerned.
1t hasn't had a lot Of experience at actual
ly directing the affairs Of this great
nation.
For a dozen years. the rank and file
of membership have been blind follow
ers of a leader who pretty much decided
what should be done and what shouldnt
be done This majority was tightly
knit nolitical organization upholdn9 the
tenure of office of the "inS' and conse-
Grated not so much to doing its own think
ing, as to blindly following its leader and
keeping the party and the party program
unified.
If some legislators really ponder2d the
theories of that party program and said
that most Of this program was stuff and
nonsense, he was usually chastiSed or
beaten over the head with political clubs
until he fell back into line.
Today, however, there is evident loss OF
confidence in that political leadership
and the precepts of that party's ldeology.
Further, there is evident decision to re-
vert to the good old American type of gov
ernment in which Congress defines the
program and the chief executive carries
it out.
All of which is very good, except that
Congress just isn't we'll trained in this
sort of thing It's gone stale and finds
using muscles gone soft from disuse. just
a little painful.
The whole process. however, indicates
the pendulum is swinging back with
momentum constantly increasing as the
war proceeds.
Yes, We should be patient with con-
gress.
Moreover. we should be proud of its
growing pains, because they comprise one
of the brightest spots in our national out
look

THE HUNDRED TANKS
christian Science Monitorl

(Christian Science Monitor)
When Winston Churchill made that
speech about fighting on the beaches,
in the fields, the streets, and in the hills,
many Of his American hearers even some
of those most deeply touched may have
chalked up the tremendous effective
ness of that passage to the British Prime
Minister'S command of oratory.
Mr.. Churchill has just disclosed part
of the secret of his art in his report to
the House of Commons on the subject of
British tanks. The British have for
midable force of tanks today, of tested
and superior type. But when Mr.. Chur-
chill made that moving speech just after
the fall of France Britain had mere 100
tanks of a sort which in France had been
found too weak to stand up to German
guns.
In other words, Mr.. Churchill's ora
tory was inspired by awful facts 1t ac-
quired its punch because it voiced some
thing so terribly true. 1t was a plain
statement of intention which the British
people fully expected to fulfill All that
Mr.. Churchill had to do was find exactly
the right words, and speak them just as
they should be spoken. And that is so
natural to him.

INVESTIGATE WAR
PLANT EFFICIENCY

In condemning absenteeism in war
plants as a drawback to national produc-
ton, there is possibility that we are over
looking a contributing factor that might
prove to be of equal or greater import
ance
We refer to the question of executive
efficiency in these concerns.
Many employees and former employees
of big coastal plants producing for the
war program excuse their absenteeism
on the grounds that much of their time is
wasted and that often organization is
completely lacking They say that with
efficient operation, production can be
materially increased.
There doubtless is much truth to this,
though the difficulty of ascertaining the
facts is much greater than that involved
in determining the percentage of absen-
teeism, which is purely matter of keep
ing simple attendance records.
1t is to be hoped that some way will be
created for not only Investigating these
reports, but also for making the results
known to the public.
We are convinced that many workers
are at fault.
Let's ascertain whether employers and
their executives should bear some share
of the responsibility.

MOSCOW, Feb. 19-tUP)-Soviet
forces battling through fierce bliz-
yards today seized 10 more towns
below Orel, last formidable base
of the shattered Nazi southern line.
The gain to the south of the be-
sieged citadel followed twin ad-
vances yesterday that resulted in
the capture of Zalegosch, 33 miles
east of Orel in the Bryansk-Elets
railroad, and the towns of Pokrov-
skoye and Verkhne Sosna, both 45
miles southeast of Orel.
Capture of Orel would knock out
the northern anchor of the Axis
southern line and restore the vital
longitudinal decentralization rail-
road to the SovietS.

south was announced in the Soviet
