Films Still Seek Peace
BY JACK FLEIsCHER

Limited Press Stan CorreSp0ndent)
 Stockholm, March l0-(UP)-Us- ually reliable sources reported today that Field Marshal Carl Manner helm, Finnish cornrnander-in-chief, had telegraphed Adolf Hitler that the fall of Narva would make the German Finnish military position aA Finland untenable.
 The message was interpreted as a step by the Films hope to persuade the Germans to evacuate Finland voluntarily In order to conclude separate peace with Russia.
 (The Soviet-sponsored Free Ger many committee, in Q Moscow broadcast heard by U. s. government monitors, said Adolf Hitler has be- gun evacuating his high command officers from Finland,)
 Finnish military leaders resigned themselves some time ago, 1t was said, to the fact that the mill ary situation would become hopeless with the Soviet advance Into the Baltic states but 1t was re"'"' "' important that they had gone on record formally in a telegram to Hitler in his capacity as German commander in n-chief.
 MannerheiIn's message reportedly was sent about nine days ago.
 Russia has demanded that German troops in Finland be interned as one of the prerequisites off an arm iStic, but the Films counte"cd wth proposal to negotiate this point, probably permitting the Nazis to evacuate the country by way of Norway.
 .E,!..c question of an armistice ap- scared to hinge on whether the So- VietS will agree to negotiate on this point and on their demands for withdrawal of Finlands force with i'll her 1940 borders and for release to Russia of all war prisoners and Russian civilians.
 M0ScOw's Reply
 MoScow's reply to Hslsinki's coun- ter-proposals apparently has not yet been received.
 Well-informed quarters who know the character and psychology of the Finnish people held little optimism that an armistice would be reached

War Plants
 Must Revise |HeID Stotus

New York, March l0(UP)-Seven hundred New York city war plants today began revising their man. power replacement schedules, under instructions to make available for armed forces all draft-elegible men before dismissing workers not elig- ible for military service.
 The orders came from Col. Arthur v. McDermott, New York city draft director, who instructed that senior- ity clauses of union contracts be ignored in dismissing workers deem- ed unnecessary under decreased pro- duction schedules.
 McDermott charged that many plants were dismissing men over 38, 4-F's and World War II veter- ans, while asking draft boards to defer draft eligible men in the l8- 38 bracket. He added that New York'S Selective Service headquar- ters would remove deferment lists an equal number of eligible men when war plants dismissed workers not liable for call.
 "Our job," McDermott said, Is to provide men to meet the demands of the armed forces, and We caIl- not bo conc cerned with seniority EuuSghtUEisy hs the demands ox the armed forces must be met"
 Mai. David Brady, head Of the Occupational division of New York City Selective Service headquarters, pointed out that while manage ments and unions could have their own arranegemtns, "these men be- tween IS and 38 are loan to iri- dustry by selective service.'
 McDermott said all employees who have replacement schedules will have 60 days to revise their sched- ules. He made 1t plain, at the same time, that his office was not ap- proving occupation defermentS for men under 20, except those with highest skill"
 Trenton, N. J., March 10 - CU' P.) - Colonel Edgar N. Bloomer, State Director of Selective Service, notified New Jersey employers to- day that all men IS through 20 years old, regardless of marital status, must be released during needs of the armed forces, with the April, May and June to meet the only exceptions for those possessing or employing critical skils.
 Employers also were told to re- lease all men 26 through 37 except. ing pre-Pearl Harbor fathers ana those employing critical skills.

Washington, March 10 -- (U.P) Naval experts emphasized today that the Japanese fleet still poS- sesses great potential poyer des- pite the fact that its ,ility to strike at long range has been cur- tailed sharply by heavy losses in aircraft carriers, cruisers and des. troyers.
 Japan's loss of many outlying Pa- cific bases, these experts said, has worked to ail indirect advantage to the enemy fleet by forcing 1t to op- crate closer to home waters. Thus land-baSed aircraft, operating from widely dispersed bases, help ccnsid.

 Moscow, Marchc l0.-(UP)-Red armies frightened their pincers around 5O0,OO0 Germans in the southern Ukraine today, battling their way thorugh the stretes oI the key junction of Tarnopol ir the west and surging through 106- mile gap in the Nazi defenses in the east to within 42 miles of the Black Sea port of Nikolaev.
 The big squeeze designed to clear the Ukraine of the enemy was on
 The Sd Ukrainian Army gained up to 37 miles in a new offensive which threatened to isolate both Nigolaev and Its companion port of Kher. son, while the lst Army paralyzed the last roundabout supply railroad north of Rumania reached into the Ukraine with its thrust into Tar nopol.
 Two other Ukrainian armies, the 2nd and 4th, were poised northeast and southeast of the shrinking Ger ma nsalient stretching roughly from the D.leper estuary zoo miles north westward to Tarnopol, ready to strike at the proper moment for the final kill.
 Gen. Rorion Y. Malinovsky's 3rd Army forced the Ingulets river on a l06-mile front, cut Nikolaevs northbound railroad, captured POO towns and villages and pushed to within 10 miles of the Inguls river, last water barrier before the main German defense line along the southren Bug river, in the first four days of its offensive.
 The Russians, advancing over roadless terrain and through deep mud, broke into Novy Bug, 37 miles southwest of Krivoi Rog, so quickly that they captured 37 tanks intact and more than 1000 trucks, a fue! depot, a food store and other booty
 The enemy resisted savagely, then fell back leaving the battlefields It. tered with German dead, the Soviet

4 S TO whether il is a good
n thing I viii not be arbitrary,
but, anyway, il is a fact that
the good people of our whilom
happy land are becoming
breed of scuttle-butt or guard
house lawyers, meaning the kind
who think they know the law
and their rights by ear and can
and do argue eternally about
the Constitution and why the
cops or the government can't do
this or that to a law-abiding
citizen.
AS an opinion, would say
that this is unfortunate because
life was much serener when the
laws were few and all of them
done in black and white so that
people could know instinctively
what was wrong and conduct
themselves accordingly.
1t was unlawful and you could
be fined 81 for leaving your
horse without Interchangeable
or, in winter, without a blanket.
On Sundays and election days,
in most well governed cities,
acknowledges were sup
posed TO pull down the shades
and lock the front door, leaving
the side or family entrance
open, however, for invalids who
might be taken bad and need a
spoonful of brandy.

What Is Russia After?

THE diplomatic and military poll
Il cies of Soviet Russia, affecting
many nations and applied in many
instances without consultation with
other nations, have assumed major
Importance in world affairs.
Even those people in other coun-
tries, including many Americans,
who are willing and anxious to CO.
operate with and conciiiate Soviet
Russia are bewildered by the omi-
nous implications of these policies.
Greece is in the throes of revo-
luton, and there is every evidence
that it is COMMUNIST IN
SPIRED revolution.
Belgium is seething with threats
of revolution, and the elements TO-
menting the unrest are avowedly
communistic.
France is hotbed of communis-
tic intrigue.
The exiled Polish government in
London has been rendered impotent
and has been virtually extinguished
by Russia.
The government of Marshal
Chang Kai-shek in China has been
bitterly excoriated by Russia.
THE democratic Swiss government
Il has been sharply denounced by
Russia.
The presence of Swiss and Portu-
guese delegations at the recent inter
national conference on commercial
aviation in Chicago was cited as ex-
cuse by Russia for her refusal to be
represented.
The Roman Catholic Church, the
Vatican and papal authorities-even
the Pope personally-have been at
tackled by Russia.
Thus, attitudes of most provoca-
tive and belligerent and antagonistic
nature have been taken by Soviet
Russia toward vital matters of world
interest.
But vital matters of strictly
AMERICAN interest have not Jared.

The authoritative American mill

publications which speak only with

THE Republican party in the
Il United States was the target of
the most violent Russian attacks dur
ing the recent presidential campaign.
The American Legion in the
United States has often been
Viciously assailed by Russia.
An American Press Association
representative was recently barred
from Yugoslavia for reporting that
pictures of Marshal Stain were more
prominently displayed in Belgrade
than those of Prime Minister Church
i'll and President Roosevelt.
An American military mission
was recently excluded from Bulgaria
by Russia.
What, it may we'll be wondered
by Americans those most SYM
pathetically and fraternally inclined
toward Russia-is BACK of all these
amazing and alarming and unfriendly
Russian attitudes?
What, particularly, does Russia
INTEND and what is she AFTER?
Russia pledged NO INTERFER-
ENCE in American affairs as con-
dition of official diplomatic recogni-
tion by the American government in
1888.
D USSIA has repeatedly pledged to
~ refrain from territorial en-
croachments against her neighbors in
the present war, and has even re-
nounced all political or theological
ambitions in liberated lands.
Why, then, is Soviet Russia so
consistently and pugnaciously pur-
suing a diplomatic and military
course menacing to many nations and
offensive to all nations?
Why is Russia using the nipple
ments of world influence and intimi.
dation if she does not have an ambi-
ton and a design for WORLD
DOMINATION?
These are the most important
questions before the diplomats and
statesmen and military commanders
of the civilized world today.
Upon the answers to these ques-
tions, rather than upon theoretical
discussions at Dumbarton Oaks and
Breton Woods, depends the sover-
eighty and existence of many nations
and the future peace of all nations.

Are Blenders PeOple?"

We were extolling the virtues of 8
friend recently, a famous blender
of fine WHISTLES. We spoke of his
extraordinarily acute sense of taste
and smell, and how difficult it was
TO fool him In n test. Perhaps we
got off little bit on the enthusi-
astic side, because one man i'll our
party asked, Are Blenders Peo-
pls?" Well, there could be bat one
answer to that Yes. blenders are
people they are unusual
people.
Nature has endowed us all with
certain senses: feeling hearing see
ing, smelling and tasting. And we
are all pretty good at all of these
senses, but once in a blue moon
nature endows a man with unusual
talents of taste and smell. If he il
smart he recognizes these extrsor-
binary talents and becomes a
bender, either in the food field, or
in the beverage field.
Take that cup of coffee you had
for breakfast this morning which
made you say. My, this is a swell
cup of coffee. You probably didn't
take the trouble to think that your
enjoyment was the result of the
painstaking and skillful efforts OF
an expert coffee bender.
Take q blended whiskey for in
stance. The expert blender with
that highly developed sense of smell
and taste gets busy. OF course, first
of all, he must have a considerable
library of various types of whis-
key, each possessing certain doml-
nsnt characteristics such as flavor,
color. body, aroma. tartness. mel
lowneSs, etc, etc. With these stocks
he can work out any number of
combinations.
To make palstable blend his
Ingredient" must be compatible,
must get along together. You
know, there IL such a thing az IN
compatibility of temperament IN
whiskey, too.
And proper sequence is Of the ut
most importance Take three whis-
kies. Fl. -, and =3. and blend
them together IN that order, and
you might get very unsatisfactory
end product But IL YOU blended
IL and %, and then added ~ you
might end up with product which
would make YOU say, My, this is q
fine drink ofwhiskey. So, you see,
there is skill and science and I'M
usual talent required In the blend
ing Of WHISTLES. To be sure. expert
blenders are rare. And blending IA
a lucrative profession which you
cannot prepare for in college.
Think Of this. won Z you, the next X
time YOU smack your lips over
your drink Of fine blended whiskey
Yes. blenders are people unusual
people And they get great deal
of pleasure out of their contribu-
ton TO gracious living.
