While their lines held in northern
Russia, German troops fell back to
the Carpathian mountains in the

to make a stand with Hungarian

AS the Germans drew back in the
east, Allied bombers headed over

routes and hammer at Nazi produc-
ton centers. In Italy, both sides
traded punches at Anzio below
Rome, while action tapered at Cas-

Production Efficiency

Striving to stretch their human

In industry, the Nazis have spared
men and metal by reducing locomo-

have economical on shipping space
by extensive dehydration of foods.
More efficient methods repeatedly
increased steel, copper and alumni
mum output while decreasing man
hours.

forming house tasks at home, the
Nazis have organized groups to

other domestic functions. Persons

Farm, Prices

Increases in returns on meat ami
mails, feed grains, hay and oil bear
ing and fruit crops resulted in one
point advance in the general level
of farm prices from mid-February
to mid-March, the agriculture de-
partment reported.
Boosts in the above commodities
more than offset declines in food
grains, truck crops, and milk and
egg prices, and brought the general
income level to 1856 of the 1909-'14
plane. A rise of one point brought
prices paid by farmers to 176 of
the 1909-'14 standard.
Prices received by farmers aver
aged lis of parity, with only wheat,
rye, faxseed, cotton, hay, peanuts,
cotton, lemon and oranges below the
fair exchange value established by
