giving helpful guidance Co service wives regarding prenatal cara, un- derstanding of Injured or disabled men returning from combat zones, as well as their continuing needs for proper housing and employment arc outlined in the pamphlet, now being distributed to nearly 5000 USO clubs and centers.
 "USO advice is given to service men, as well as their wives, if travel ing becomas necessary" Mir. Smith pointed out. Before arrival, on arr rival, or in residence near camps these young married women have problems of prenatal care and hous- ing to meet, and the USO wants them to be informed about where they can get help"
 MT. Smith added that many serv- ice men make living arrangements through the UsO before the wives actually move to military areas.
 Developed by Mrs. Pearl Case Blough and the USO Committee on Services to Women and Girls, the new pamphlet advises all club direc- tors to have on hand at all times complete information as to the proper community agencies to which young mothers and wives should be referred for medical problems as well as recreation, housing and enn- ployment.
 "The USO can assume no respon- sibility for relief or medical care other than that provided by the Na- tional Travellers Aid Association" Mir. Smith declared, but we try to be sure that women in need of as- sistance are told the proper place to go for it."
 The pamphlet lists national agen- cies having local offices, and sug- gests -rany additional ways in which service wives visiting USO clubs can organize their own recreational and educational groups.

of wounds he received in the Bal kans, partly because of the influ- ence of his uncle. It is not until the siege of Stalingrad that he is called back to the front, where he is cap- tured, and tells his story to a nurse in diary form. Intensely dramatic, 1t pictures the war from the enemy side through the eyes of a type of German which those who refuse to believe all Germans murderouS monsters, feel does exist in the Nazi army.
 WHY MUST WE HATE?
 There is one kindness of fate for which the Jews can be everlasting ly thankful, says Sigmund Living ston in Must Men Hate" (Harpers: :: $2.50), and that is that none by the greatest stretch of the imagination can call Nazism and all it's attend ant evils Jewish conspiracy Here at least is one charge against which the most libeled group of people in history will not have to defend themselves.
 For an impartial, concrete and in- teresting analysis of an answer tc the many accusations hurled at the Jew today, yesterday and the day before that, read MT. Livingstone book. He breaks down anti-Semit- ism into it's psychological elements, states cases and facts, offers a pos- sible solution to 8 contemporary world problem. It is a book that no thinking person should miss.
 Tracing nti-Semitism as an emotional attitude conditioned by certain negative teachings in childhood which prepare the mind "to receive hospitably every accu. sation against the Jew" through the vague fallacies accepted with out thought by the adult, through the active hate propaganda pro- pounded by the Nazis. the author crystallizes m u h shrug of the shoulder hearsay. He points out the original historical basis for certain unquestioned attitudes, show the actual position of the Jew in dif- ferent civilizations, debunks a good many propaganda hoaxes. Indicates paradoXes, proves that "anti-Semitism assumes conclu. sion and then invents a fictious premise" He lists character deb- It's and credits, material and spirit ual contributions of individual Jews.
 By supplying a wealth of fact ual material, Sigmund Livingston goes far toward providing his own cure for an emotional mass dis. ease: t h a t "every accusation against the Jew can and should be answered by absolute truth"

 Governor Baldwin commented on the favorable record made in Wa terbury in fighting absenteeism, stating the city should be commend ed for 1t.
 Need of further recruitment drives in the area was discussed by Mrs. Mary Dewey, are a WING die rector, who pointed out that one priority rated firm has an order for $50 new workers. She stated there should be no thought of disbanding efforts to aid the current labor shortage.

.ODT TO ASSIST
 TRUCK OWNERS
Operators of Busses May Also Report Inability to
 Get Tire

Frank v. Richo, district manager of the once of Defense Transporta. ton, today announced the estab. lishment of 6 reporting system to assist truck and bus operators with their tire procurement problems.
 Under this system bus and truck operators who are eligible for tires but are unable to obtain tire cer- tificates from their Local War Price and Rationing Boards because of ex- hausted quotas or other reasons, will report that fact to the ODT.
 These reports will enable the ODT to determine the extent of regional tire deficits by classes of highway carriers and by tire-size groups and will form the basis for taking such remedial action as is deemed neces- sary and feasible.
 MT. Richo said that the portion of bus and truck tire production allotted to the ODT by the Office of the rubber director for the thrid quarter of l944 fails by substantial percentages to meet the require- ments in various tire size groups as estimated by the ODT, which is the claimant agency before the Of- flee of the Rubber Director for tires required by the domestic civilian transportation services and facilities These deficits are reflected in the currently reduced truck and bus quotas which the Office of the Rub- Der Director has allotted to the Oftice of Price Administration for rationing.
 Because of this situation, there are many instances where eligible com. mercial motor vehicles operators are being denied tire certificates by OPA board because of exhausted quotas roother related reasons. We can reasonably expect that until there is a substantial improvement in the number of truck and bus tires to be allocated for civilian highway use, the number of these denials will increase.
 The ODT therefore, is requesting all eligible bus and truck operators who are denied tire certificates by to report such denials to the ODT local ration boards for any reason, Highway Transport District Office in New Haven, together with the reason assigned by the board for the denial of the certificate.
 At the same time MT. Richo re. minded the operators fo commercial motor vehicles of ODT's previously announced procedure for providing assistance in cases where tire certi- ficateS are issued but the holders are unable to locate the proper tires. Tn such instances the operators should inform this office. I

jective. A sergeant cracks up; they are strafed again; motorcycle rider who happens along agrees to go ahead on reconnaissance. He never returns, but an armored car does, manned by Nazis, whom they ambush. The platoon-what is left of it-reaches the farmhouse and lays siege.
 The action, while exciting and realistic, is subordinate in space covered, importance, and effect to the characterization, the dialogue, the humor. The G. I. conversation is cynical, funny, real. The book is war, war without heroics, and with its inevitable measure of fear. Brown is an artist; he can make you see, hear and feel prel- ude to combat, combat itself, and its aftermath.
 OVER TENTY-ONE" IS FUN
 Ruth Gordon's play Over Twenty One (Random House: $2) is the re- suit of shortage of stage material with something on the ball. Miss Gordon, so we are told, could find nothing suited to her talents, SC she turned to the typewriter, made with 1t, and came forth with de- lightful comedy that has proved a break for Broadway as well as her. self.
 Action takes place in @ Miami bungalow, one of 30 or 40 situated across the road from the main gate of Tetley Field, where ". |. grim young men are attempting to im- prove their military station" Jan (she's the wife) and Roy Lupton who has just won his bars, are pre- pairing to shove off for Arkansas where he has been assigned (much to their disgust) when Paula Whar- ton, novelist and Hollywood screen arist, pops in. She's the next ten- ant, and the housing situation being what 1t is, loses no tme in placing her claim.
 From here on the comedy re- wolves chiefly about Paula, her husband Max, who is famous edi- tor, or was until the Army got him, of liberal newspaper, and Robert Drexel Cow, millionaire publisher although the laughs build up strongly before the Luptons depart. Most fun in the whole play comes when Max's c. O., Colonel Foley. calls with his wife, who is an avid Paula Wharton fan. Cow, who wants Max back behind a desk, does his best to queer him with the colo mel. recalling an editorial written by Max called "The Backward Mili- tary Mind" There are laugh lines aplenty. If you can't get to see "Over Twenty One," read 1t.
 RELUCTANT NAZI
 "The Firing Squad" by P. c. Weiskopf (Knopf: $2.5o). is the story of six German soldiers who compose a firing squad somewhere in Czechoslovakia. Written from the viewpoint of Hans Holler, a man who finds his job more than dis tasteful, the book is presented as a novel-yet you cannot help but believe that much of 1t has basis in fact. Hans, a Sudetener, has a behind-the-lines job. partly because
