|Morgenthau Warns
AGAINST Pressure in
Sales Of War Bonds

Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau last night issued a stern
prohibition against pressure meth
DDS" in the sale Of War Bonds.
At the same time, the Secretary
said Emil E. Placek, chairman of
the Saunders (Nebr) County War
Finance Committee, had given him
personal assurance that he had
"scrapped his ill-advised plan to
turn over to Selective Service and
ration boards the names of people
In his county who refuse to buy
War Bonds.
In Wahoo, Nebr., Mr.. Placek de-
clared that he would "go along
with this drive, but don't know
about the next one"
Mr.. Morgenthau said, There is
no need to take dictatorial action
In the matter, and I have requested
that any such activity anywhere
In the United States be immediate
ly discontinued if it has already
started"
The American people have sub
Iscribed generously to War Bonds
and in the present drive are sub
scribing even more generously than
in the past, he said, adding:
"As they become more and more
aware Of the seriousness of the war,
and its probable length, and the
horrible treatment that our men
are suffering at the hands of our
lood-thirsty enemies, the people
will subscribe even more heavily.
Il am confident of that"
Mr.. Placek issued this statement: !:
"As former serviceman and
having boy in the service, 1 feel
very intensely on the question of
every citizen doing his full duty.
However, as the Treasury Depart
ment does not favor force and COM
pulsion in having some individuals
do their share and wishes that the
bond sale drive be entirely volun-
tary, I will carry out its instruc-
tions."
Mr.. Placek's plan was disclosed in
a cGSAy boFC w tllC WdilOO w dSp,
weekly newspaper here. Names of
those not supporting the War Bond
drive would be given the draft
board $50 that individuals or their
sons who have been deferred may
be reclassified" and to ration boards
which might seriously affect some
individuals who may ask for addi-
tional gas or who may ask for pri-
ority for farm machinery" the story
said
District OPA officials declared
they would not participate in such
a plan, and State Selective Service
headquarters said the draft board
had no authority to consider buy
ing of bonds as an element in draft
classification.

|Low-Priced CIothinq
Moves Into Trade
As Cost Dispute Ends
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Low-priced textile yard goods and
garments, in short supply during a
dispute over price and production
policies, were reported yesterday tc
be moving to retail shelves in guam
tity now.
Both War Production Board and
Office of Price Administration
sources said considerable progress
had been made in the last two weeks
toward adequate production of low
cost infants and children's gar
ments, work clothing, bed sheets
and other textiles which have been
scarce to nonexistent in stores.
The price dispute developed after
Sterilization Director Fred M. Vim
son issued a directive on Novem-
ber Is providing formula for ad-
justing prices to promote adequate
production of low-cost goods. The
WPB was directed to notify the
OPA whenever the production OF
any civilian goods item was in
adequate.
The directive never became widely
efectual because of interagency diff
ferences of opinion and protests
from industry that the formula
prices were not adequate. No ac-
ton was taken under the order until
recently when the WPB began allo-
eating textiles specifically to low
cost garment producers.
The original order applied to all
civilian manufacturers, but Mr.. VIM
son said the directive would be lin
tied to textiles and textile products.
The stabilization director said his
original order had been widely mis-
understood.

Prejudice on State Ballots
Charged 10 Army by Taft

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 29.-Sen-
ator Taft of Ohio, said today the
proposed Federal ballot for soldiers
means handing 100000 ballots
over to the Army to conduct an
election in which the commander
in chief is the principal candidate" J"
Il don't want to question motives" !"
Senator Taft told a press confer
ence, but I don't think what you
would be holding would be an elec-
ton"
He said the Army had shown an
obvious prejudice" in insisting it
would not transport State ballots to
soldiers throughout the world on
grounds transportation facilities
were not available.
Il think Mrs. Roosevelt had an
escort of eight bombers on her fight
to Australia" Senator Taft said.
Surely the Army could spare 10
cargo planes to fly, say so tons of
ballots
Il think there is a deliberate ef-
fort to subordinate everything to
the election"

Special Club Is Urged
For Merchant Sailors
To Avoid Friction

Merchant seamen not in uniform
should be provided with a special
club of their own here, because fric-
'tion often develops when they
mingle with uniformed Servicemen
in the regular hospitality centers. the
District War Hospitality Committee
said last night in its annual report.
Z These men are as truly at war as
any others, but need special consid-
eration," the report explained. "They
need a small place of their own
where they can feel entirely at
home"
q Additional space also is needed in
the downtown section for the week.
end lodging of servicemen, the COM
mittee pointed out. Throughout the
District during the past year, 865
additional beds were made available
for this purpose, bringing the total
lodging facilities to 1883 beds.
Security Lectures Planned.
Lectures on military security are
to be given this year to every hostess
serving in the war hospitality clubs
here, according to plans outlined In
the annual report. The committee
also stressed the necessity of train
ing all volunteers, as well as paid
personnel at servicemen's clubs, in
the proper psychological approach to
the wounded.
Reporting on 1943 activities, the
committee said 2,057,214 units were
recorded at the Pepsi-Cola Service
Center, Thirteenth and G streets
NV, where one -and-a-half million
free drinks were distributed. The
comparatively new United Nations
Service Center, opened October 27,
already has registered 1888 visi-
tors, and servicemen have reported
hearing of this center at such dis
tant points as Tunisia and Green
land.
Demand for the free tickets dis
tributed by the War Hospitality
Committee exceeded the supply, but
253,000 were given out, the report
said.
Other Clubs Report.
Attendance for the year at Serv-
icemen's Club No. l, 306 Ninth street
NV, totaled 1888, and at the Of

DocroRs KNOW that too many
women still do not have up-to-date
information about certain physical
facts. And too many who think they
know have only half-knowledge. So
they still rely on Ineffective or dam
gerous preparations.
You have a right to know about
the important medical advances
made during recent years in connec-
ton with this intimate problem.
They affect every woman's health
and happiness.
And 30, with the cooperation of
doctors who specialize in women's
medical problems, the makers of
Zonite have just published an au-
thoritative new book, which clearly
explains the facts. (See free book
offer below.)
You SHOULD, however, be warned
here about two definite threats to
happiness. First, the danger of in
lection present every day in every
loonaan's life. Second, the most seri-
GUS deodorization problem any ,Uoman
has >. one which you may not sus-
pect. And what to use is so impor-
tant. That why you ought to know
about Zonite Antiseptic.
USED IN THE DoucHR (as well as
for a simple everyday routine of
external protection) Zonite is both
antiseptic and deodorant. Zonite
deodorizes, not by just masking,
but by actually destroying odors.
Leaves no lasting odor of its own.
Zonits also kills Immediately all
germs and bacteria on contact. Yet
contains no poisons or acids. No
other type of liquid antiseptic-ger-
micide is more powerful, yet % safe.

 Coming ashore with this first wave, found German resistance that still was left was badly shaken by the great naval. aerial ard rocket onslaught that preceded the landing. Within an hour the pris- oners were coming In in large num- bers.
 Doughboys with hand grenades and tommy gunsQuickly wiped out the few machinegun nests and snip CTS who had survived the prelimin- ary bombardment. The Germans during the first hour caused some casualties by mortars but these were soon wiped out.
 And then that olminous sllence settled down. There was the sound of landing barges and the c1ank Of mechanical equipment. But the abe sence of any bombardment made it esem eerily silent. It reminded those of us who had covered the earlier Italian landings of the silence that prevailed shortly after we got our toe-hold at Anzio.
 Under cover of a heavy smoke scren that sEneiled pleasantly like burning mbers sprinkled with oil. large quantities of artillery were unloaded during the first hours. Streams of ducks wound In from 10 miles out to ses carrying sup. plies from ammunition to artillery.
 The beaches were cleared Of en- emy fire, estimate. within the first hour There wasn't even the pop Of mortars.
 I saw only a few pillboxes. Most Of the defense of this beach was barbed wire which the barrage had torn to threads.
 The doughboys landing here had run across a slip of beach perhaps 50 Co 100 yards wide and then plunged through pine forest into blooming vineyards to their obJec" tives.
 All objectives were being reached on schedule.

Allied invasion forces pushed well inland on the coast Of Southern France toady as additional men, guns and tanks poured ashore. while ln Normandy the escape gap for the Germans enclosed in the Falaise pocket was narrowed to six miles or less.
 Many thousands of American and French troops extended their grip on a 40-mile stretch of the French Riviera between Cannes and T0ulon to more than five miles in. land after capturing at least i've towns.
 They were pushing for a junction with British and American air- borne troops which had been landed by parachute and glider far behind the coastal defenses. and front dis- patches said some of the forces al' ready had been joined. French para troops were reported to have landed as much as 20 miles inland.
 Official news of Allied progress was seant. today's communique say- ing merely that operations were proceeding according to plan" The plan presumably included out- flanking or enveloping the big naval base of Toulon. The Americans and French were revealed officially last night to be within 2s miles of Tou" lon and unconfirmed reports said they were only nine miles away. A Berlin dispatch said shore tnstalla- tions ct Nice, Cannes ct St. Tropea had been blown up by the Germans.
