In the initial deployment of our troops,
we were forced to dispose our forces all
over the world. We had to scatter them
initially in a plug-the-line effort that
further dissipated what was already an
over-extended deployment. Today the
picture has changed and we have shifted
to the offensive.
Our air offensive has materially soften

Home Front News

It is generally agreed that
1914 will be a year of uncer-
tainties. =. a year of great
crises. Yet, those in the Office
of Price Administration feel
confident that they are enter
ing the new year far better
equipped than they have been
at any time in the past to adj
minister the functions of ra-
tioning and price control
which are so essential to al Of
us on the Home Front.
Local War Price and Ration
ing Boards, which this week
observe the second anniversary
of their formation, have beer
largely responsible for i'm
proving these conditions or
the Home Front. They have
been vested with the great re-
sponsibility Of seeing that ev-

threat Of imitation.
Since the day that rationing
started in this country, two
years ago, local boards have
grown in many respects. The
boards which originally start
ed out to ration tires now SUI
pervise the ration operations of
meat, proceSsed foods, gasoline,
oil, stoves, bicycles, shoes, SUI
gar. rubber boots and tires.
These men and women, serv-
ing without pay, are doing out
standing work as the unsung
heroes on the Home Front, and
it is to their credit that this
country entered the new year
far better equipped to face the
numerous wartime emergen-
cies than we were 10, 10, OF
even rs months ago, when we
went to war.
1t is the sincere hope Of the
OPA that those Of us at home
can learn to pull together in 8
greater spirit Of cooperation
and understanding in the
months ahead. AS Chester
Bowles, the OPA Administrator
pointed out, the voices Of prof

When cooking foods that

This saves time and fuel.
Home-makers can take a tip
from Navy cooks on soup max
ing. They let soups cool after
cooking 50 that the fat will
rise. When it has hardened,
they remove it and reheat the
soup for serving. When the fat
can no longer be used for
cooking, it is turned in for
glycerine.

Most cabbage waste-27 per
cent-occurs in trimming out
side leaves and diScarding ten
der core. These parts actually
have more mineral content
than the blanched inner leaves.
Cabbage can be used to ad-
vantage as a foundation or
blanket for a baked meat dish
or as an addition to soups.
Eggplant should be peeled
thin and stored in a cool, but
not too dry, place to avoid de-
hydration.
Bean and cabbage sprouts
have little OF no waste and
are useful in stews, omelets,
soups, and salads or served as
a separate dish with drawn
butter or cream or cheese
sauce. -,
Save green and wax beans by
cutting ends rather than
breaking with fingers. Over
cooking reduces vitamins and
flavor and results in waste.
Carrots should be scraped
gently-not peeled. Average
carrot waste is estimated at 81
per cent, half Of which could
be saved.

turning point in the war in favor
of the Allies, probably many older
workers will retire, either because
they wish to or are no longer able
to work, and then they will claim
their old-age benefits. Roughly 600,-
900 persons now IS or older are
eligible to claim retirement benefits
as soon as they stop work. An addi-
tional 10000 workers who had prev
iously retired and claimed their

One of the big jobs of the system
now is to keep the social security

be paid promptly when claims are
filed either by workers themselves
or by the families of workers who

Death 10 All

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 7.-Signs OF

brought a wave of death sentences
making it impossible for any group
to organize in revolution. Christer

the Tidningen said in dispatch.
1.-THE collapse on the home front
could be precipitated by a doubt as
to whether to go on fighting but the
doubters will be punished by death"
he wrote and told of numerous ex-
ecutions in recent months.
Jaederlund said that frightened
Germans were quieted and defeat
list talk made people suspicious OF
one another to overthrow the Nazls.
He added that "a real revolution
must be organized but the German
people are stripped of all possible
ties of organizing revolution and
one leading Nazi who is close to
Hitler told men that only the Hit
Ter regime has possibility OF or
ganizing a revolution"

In addition to the S155 100000 in
monthly benefits, about $4,000, 900
was paid in lump-sum payments to
l65, 900 persons, including widows
under IS without young children,
widowers, children over age l8, or
parents of the deceased worker.
Lump sums are payable only in
cases where an insured worker is
not survived by a relative who can
qualify for immediate monthly bene-
fits.
In the Alaska office, as in the
other 434 offices of the old-age and
survivors insurance system, the. year
1943 was marked by unusually num-
erous requests for social security
cards from boys and girls, women,
older workers, and others not ordi-
narily employed.
Most pronounced trend of the year
reflected by this program was youths
pitching in" to help with wartime
work. During the first six months
of 1913, for example the number of
young applicants-those under 49,
increased as percent for the nation
as a whole compared with the same
period a year earlier. The number
of women applicants increased 48
percent over the same period; APP
plicants past age 60 increased So
percent. A total of 3076 social secur-
ity cards were issued during the year
by the field office.
The Social Security Board recon-
mended in its annual report to Con-
gress in l943 that military service, as
we'll as farm and household work,
self Unemployment, jobs in government
organizations, and in educational,
religious and other non-profit in
situations be covered under this in

LOS ANGELES. Jan. Z. - When

little celebration where Tokyo was"
says Admiral William F. Halsey,
Commander of the Allied forces in

The comment prefaced Halsey's

H. Arnold and other military Off
Gals and West Coast civic and bust
ness leaders. The sessions conclude
tomorrow.
Holding his first r-ess conference

land on New Years Eve, Halsey re-
fused to predict when the Tokyo
celebration will take place, declar-
ing he had done so once on New
Years Day, 1943 when he said the
Japs would be defeated in 1913, but
speaking CT his operational areas he
added:
I'VE have the finest representa-
! tiveS of American manhood ever
assembled. They're fighting as one
team"
Halsey told reporters he wished
he were an orator to do justice to
the Marines and Seabees. The Ma
tional Broadcasting Company an
nounced the Admiral will speak over
its network at pm. PVT tonight
from Hollywood.
