Anything - so important. The

Had Jim really stopped caring,

Joan Townsend he was abandoning

Suddenly she was breathing hard.
Her fingers trembled as she helped

ARMY BEEF:
Small Plants Tanned

To assure the military services of
needed supplies, the War Food adj
ministration prepared to order 5000
small packing and slaughter plants
and local butchers to set aside so
per cent of their "army style" beef
beginning April l.
At the same time, VIA announced
manufacturers of cheddar cheese
will be required to reserve as per
cent of their March and SIS per cent
of their April production, compared
with IS per cent for January and
February.
Since the small packers and butch
ers sold their entire output to civil
ians, their reservation for the serv-
ices is expected to cut into domes-
tic supplies. Previously, the govern
ment obtained its beef from about
425 federally inspected plants, but de-
cided to tap the other sources upon
the belief that more than normal
numbers of cattle were being mar
keted in the smaller centers.

PACIFIC:
Closer to Tokyo

Surging beyond Japan's crumbling
outer Pacific defenses, U. S. carrier
forces struck within 1,400 miles of
Tokyo to blast at the Mariana is
lands, so called gateway to the enc
my homeland.
While planes from the carrier
force ripped Jap defenses in the
Marianas, other U. S. air and naval
units continued hammering down
enemy resistance in the New Britain
area, blasting shipping centers used
as feeder points for barges supply
ing embattled Nipponese troops in
South Pacific outposts.
AS u. S. naval and air forces tore
up the Marshalls, Carolines and
Marianas, the enemy's Wanted navy
and aerial auxiliary still showed no
face to scrap, with the Tokyo radio
telling its listeners that the Jap
chiefs will order a fight only after
drawing the U. S. from its bases.

EXTEND CCC:
Subsidies Included

With consumer subsidy foes I'M
able to override presidential veto,
the senate passed a bill extending
the life of the Commodity Credit
corporation until June, 1945, and per-
hitting its use of from $50 to 900
million dollars for paymnts to hold
down retail food costs.
Headed for acceptance in the
house, whose banking committee ap-
proved similar legislation, the bill
also calls for continuation of price
support programs to assure farm
production, feature endorsed by
those who opposed consumer subsi-
dies or government payments to
professors and others to cut retail
prices.
A recent check by CCC showed
that only one billion of its three bill
lion dollar funds have been Oh gat-
ed and the remainder are ava. able
for extended operations. War Food
Administrator Marvin Jones' re-
guest for an additional 100000 900

WORLD ANYWAYS:
BLinlps in Picture

Forgotten recently because of the
spectacular action of the airplane in
the present war, the huge, sleek
dirigible has slipped quietly back
into the picture, with the U. N. Air

five routes from Washington, D. c.,
to large cities in all parts of the
world.

U. N. Airships Inc, would operate

limited to rs to 100 miles per hour

CONGRESS-:
Democratic Revolt

Reelected by the senate's Demo-
cratic majority as its floor leader
after breaking with President Roose-
welt on the tax veto, burly Sen. Alben
Barley (Ky.) took back the reins of
balky party, but not without an
eye on restoring harmony in its
ranks with its principles.
Barkley's break with F.D.R. came
as a result of the Presidents rasp-
ing attack on the $4,000, 900, 900 tax
bill, which he said was an "inedible
crust" offering relief to "the greedy
instead of the needy 1t was not
the question of the increased taxes
but rather of the size and nature of
the new levies which promoted the
differences between the Chief Exec
utive and congress, and Barkley's
position indicated stiffening congress
sional independence in formulating
legislation, rather than an about
reputation of Democratic princi-
pies.
The same attitude prevailed in
the house, where 80-year-old Rep.
Robert Doughton's declaration that
he parted company" with F.D.R.
on the tax veto set the stage for
congressional overriding of the veto.

RUSSIA:
Army Anniversary

Celebrating the 18th anniversary Of
the creation of the Red army with
"Molotov cocktails" Russian
forces continued bending back Ger
man lines at both ends of the 800
mile front. Meantime, it was also
indicated that peace negotiations
with the Firms progressed.
AS the Nazis announced retirement
movements on the eastern Estonian
border, the Reds drove on the i'm
portant rail and highway hub of
Pskov, communication gateway to
the Baltic states.
At the southern extremity Of the
front, the Russ kept chewing off
chunks of the German wedge ex-
tending far to the rear Of their lines
in Poland, with the iron, copper and
coal center of Krivoi Rog falling into
their hands after almost az years of
enemy occupation.
Stub in the Finnish peace moves
was the presence of 175,000 Nazi
troops in the country's mineral-rich
north.

AIR WARFARE:
Hit London

Stung by Allied bombers' destruc-
ton of their cities, Germany's once
Wanted Luftwaffe appeared in force
over London again after a two-year
lapse, blasting the British capital
with block-busters that ripped up
residential and factory areas.
As the Luftwaffe struck at London,
big Allied bombers continued their
attack on Nazi war-plane plants
throughout Germany, seeking to
cripple fighter production and re-
duce aerial resistance to U. S. and
British forces when they open the
second front.
From January, 1913, to the same
month in 1914, the Raj and AAF
lost 1885 bombers in operations over
western Europe, it was announced,
with 1888 of the craft being Brit
ish and 1,147 American.
Open Fighting
With their lines lying exposed in
the broad Roman plains, both Ger
man and Allied forces alike came
under the heavy fire of artillery and
aircraft around the Anzio beach
head, and the enemy's armored
moves met stubborn resistance from
U. S. and British troops.
To the southeast, wet weather
muddied the mountain-sides and
slowed up Allied advances against
the Germans around Casino. So
