MORE ABOUT TOKENS

The new token plan will help in
food rationing because stamps will
be good about twice as long as be-
fore, eliminating much of the
frenzy CT expiration day buying. 1t
also will reduce the number of
stamps handled by grocers and
banks, and will make it easier to
check up on ration accounts. OPA
is busy on counterfeit detection
program which includes the use of
violet ray to check upon the stamps
grccers turn in. Consequently, there
probably will be fewer temptations
to buy rationed foods without
stamps. ..-
HAVE SOME BUTTER

if the butter hand-out for civilians
take place, you probably will see it

pected to increase.

 Thrust Near Anzio

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN ALGIERS, Feb. Americans at the Anzio beachhead repulsed a strong new German attack which broke through the Allied perimeter three miles west of the vital road and rail hub of Cisterna. and restor- ed their original positions at Cis- terna astride the Appian Way and the electrified railway 26 miles southeast of Rome, and about 10 miles east of Carroceto where the previous German counterblows were blunted.
 The Germans began their new assault Saturday night with in- fantry, tanks and artillery, and fighting went on throughout the night into yesterday before the Nazis were pushed back to their starting point with losses.
 A Sunday dispatch from Daniel DeLuce, Associated Press corre- Spondent at the beachhead said the Americans were driven back about 500 yards Saturday night but re- covered the ground.

Soviet Forces Less thdn 40 Miles from German
 Invasion Line

MOSCOW, Feb. 7.-The Russian army is less than 40 miles at some points from the lines where Hitler launched his invasion of the Soviet Union, and all along the 1,200 mile front the Germans are suffering some of the wars worst defeats, field dispatches said.
 The Red Army is gaining the upper hand along the lower reaches of the Dnieper with advances up to 40 miles through the 100-mile gap, which General Malinovsky's Third Ukrainian Army ruthlessly went through. then went about the job of destroying five trapped German divisions, normally 75,000 men.
 Tn the Nikopol sector 150 miles to the north more Nazi corpses lit tered the thawing Ukrainian earth as the armies of General Vatutin at Konev drew ever tighter the ring of death around the remnants of the 10 divisions near Cherkasy.
 The loss of Nikopol, which re- portedly has been furnishing Ger man industries with a major amount of manganese used in the Reichs production of war equip ment, probably will be the hardest industrial blow suffered by the Ger mans in the entire Russian offen- sive.

 ABOARD A DESTROYER IN THE NORTH PACIFIC, Feb. A. (Delayed) United States warships have bormbarded Japan at home and for the first time it caught the enemy flat on his pants" looking skyward
 The bombardment lasted about 20 minutes and the harbor and land installations at Kurabu Point. south ern tip of Paramushiro Island, were battered.
 Enemy gunners were either sur- prised or attempted to put out the stars by shells.
 The gunners fired into the air when the attack first started, then giving evidence of becoming more startled, fired along their own beaches. at the Pacific Ocean and at the Sea of Ohktosk but at no ship of the attacking force.
 In Bright Moonlight
 The sea force steamed in under bright moonlight and were within five miles of the shore batteries. then let loose with both barrels"
 The task force was commanded by Rear Admiral Wilder F. Baker, operating under Vice Admiral Jack Fletcher.
 Both commanders sent message to the ships and crews after the attack congratulating them for being the first to Lombard Japanese home territory
 The Army was represented aboard the flagship by Maj Gen. Johnson Mander and the Eleventh Air Force by Brig. Gen. Post, Chief of Staff to It. Gen. Simon B. Buckner. Jr., Commander of Alaska Defense.
 I am the only correspondent aboard the attacking fleet and was the first correspondent to fly over Japanese home soil on the bombing mission on Paramushiro.
 Japs Fear Invasion
 The presence of Brig. Gen. Post coincided with activities of troops of the Alaskan Department in the assault and maneuvers which may possibly be aimed at Paramushirc The wild nature of Jap gunnery in- dicated the feared invasion is al- ready under way
 Tracer bullets from some of their guns spurted along the shore -line apparently aimed at shadows or imaginary landing barges
 Paramushiro is approximately 200 miles north of Tokyo and 948 miles west, and is 790 miles south west of Attu
 The defenders had perhaps been expecting planes. If they had been glancing at the sea the alert shore watchers might easily have seen the dark silent shadows of the approaching ships without the use of any detection devices.
 Destroyers In Attack

 Tn South America, peace has come. Let me make myself clear. A year or more ago, they considered themselves threatened by the Nazis on the east and the Japs on the West. Those nations south of the Rio Grande that were financially and physically able made prepara- tions to resist invasion. They were alarmed and solidarity with neigh boring nations and unity within seemed their best protection.

WASHINGTON-F who wis., tied Cactus Jack" Garner in Texas some months ago got a prediction that the man who would beat Roos- evelt in November, 1944, would be Roosevelt's exact opposite.
 People get tired of one type of personality, the ex-Vice President said. They get tired of too many pictures, too much travelling around, too much joking, grand-standing and tilting of the cigarette holder. So he concluded that the American people would vote for just the op- posite, a man of the Coolidge type. Garner went further and mentioned the man-Republican Senator liar old Burton of Ohio.
 Republicans do not admit that they take political advice from a Democrat, yet privately lot of them think Garner is right. Espec- ially in recent weeks, with the Democrats showing more and more signs of unity behind FDR, there is a growing COP belief that bitter feuding must be healed and that a Coolidge-type candidate like Burton might be the man.

NOT ANOTHER HARDING

Preliminary check-ups on the Senator from Ohio indicate that, while he may have the Rciturnity of Coolidge, he would not be an- other Harding. In fact, this has already made some of the Old Guard leaders, who want to dom mate whenever they put in the White House, bit skeptical about Burton.
 Like Coolidge, Burton was born in Massachusetts. After graduating from Bowdoin College in Maine, he went to Harvard Law School, then moved to Ohio for two reasons. One was that the law offices of Boston were open only to the sons of the Lowells, Cabots and Lodges. The other was that he had read book on Tom Johnson, the Cleveland public utilities man who had be- come great public servant.
 Also, Burton was engaged to 2 young lady whose uncle had Cleve- land connections and promised to get him a job there. When young Burton arrived, however, fresh out of Harvard Law School. he found
