Government Good PrOvider
for American Babies

Recent rulings on baby foods high
light their increased Importance.
Rather than curtail this years pack,
the Government is permitting nearly
the same percentage to be timed as
In AZ.
Rationing, too, points up the real
value of strained and junior foods.
For these baby products received as
liberal rating as any foodstuff on
the OPA chart.
All our small fry now may have
one can per point. That makes 48
points per month-an ample share
IN any baby's pantry. With this sup
ply to go on, all our babies can be
assured of the very best of food,
available at any time.
Every mother should be truly
grateful to the Government for this
realistic ruling. For to depend, for
fresh fruits and vegetables, on our
future fuctuating markets would be
too hazardous an undertaking.
Necessarily stringent rationing of
canned goods is throwing a double
burden on the fresh produce market.

All De Gau||ists Freed
In North Africa, Says
War Information Chief
Political Prisoners Now
Held Are Declared
Mostly Axis Friends

Elmer Davis. director of war in
formation, said yesterday the State
Department has received informa-
ton that all North African SYM
pathiZers Of the Fighting French
leader, Gen. Charles De Gaulle, have
been released from Jail
Mr.. Davis said this was true at
least of all persons whom we could
identify as De Gaullists, and might
not include some De Gaullists who
were arrested on other charges, such
as violating rationing cards"
One of the controversies which re-
suited from the Allied invasion of
North Africa was the claim of Gen.
De Gaulle's London headquarters at
various times that Axis sympathizers
were still on the loose in North
Africa while De Gaullists languished
in jail. This controversy ragged par
ticularly while Admiral Jean Darlan,
former Vichy official, was in charge
OF North Africa in the early days Of
the invasion.
The State Department memoran-
dunn to Mr.. Davis said the only po-
litical prisoners known to be still in
Jail in North Africa were an esti-
mated 200 Axis sympathizers and
some other prisoners who had re-
fused to sign promises not to create
trouble.
The report also said Spanish ref
ugees in North Africa-people who
opposed Generalissimo Francisco
Franco in the Spanish civil war and
fled when Franco won the conflict
were living freely, but in restricted
areas, and were not interned as
some reports had Indicated
Mr.. Davis told a press conference
that plans to help these Spanish
refugees were waiting for develop
ments, particularly proposals from
some countries, especially Mexico, to
provide haven for them.
Mr.. Davis declined. on the grounds
that it was mot in the public inter-
est" to discuss reported differences
between his agency and the office of
strategic service in the Army with
regard to North African propaganda.

North Rand|e Group Asks
New Bus Service

A bus line running between Randle
Circle Sc. and the Barney Circle
streetcar- bus terminal was asked
by the North Randle Community
Citizens Association last night.
Edward L. Merzereau. who spon-
sored the motion, said it was next
to impossible to board bus in this
area because the present line starts
at Benping and Ridge roads S E. and
the buses are usually crowded by the
time they reach Randle Circle.
The association also Endorsed the
Randle Highlands Citizens Associa-
ton motion asking for postwar
planning for erection of hospital
in the Southeast area, to be munic-
ipally owned and operated. 1t would
accommodate 500 beds and would be
maintained principally for people
with middle class incomes.
On c. A. Barkers motion, the
group urged the District Commits
sioners to lease privately-oWned land
for Fairgrounds where Government
owned land was not available.
At the request of the District
Recreation Board the association
voted to discontinue meetings in the
Klmbau School to conserve heating
oil.
S, R. Smith presided over the
meeting.

Rent Control
Wreckers
Get Setback

. New York. Oct Forces seeking
to wreck U. S. rent control received
a severe setback this week when
the Office Of Price Administration
decided to extend enforcement to
New York City.
The extension was hailed by the
Greater N. Y. Industrial Union
Council. which served notice on
landlords that 1t would cooperate
intellectually with OPA officials
in seeing that the law is enforced.
A freeze Of rents as of March /,
1943, levels, will go into effect
November !.
The Council said that 1t will set
up special machinery to fight in
court every eviction or attempt at
eviction of tenants who refuse to
pay increases imposed above the
March levels.
The Council acted when 1t heard
that many landlords were planning
TO threaten eviction OF tenants.
using this device to jack up rents
prior to the November deadline,
with the hope that the higher rents
might get by OPA investigations.
