that stockpiles have reached the
stage where the United Nations
could get along for several months
without replenishment or undue re-
strictions.
Speculation varies as to how long
the Argentine government Of Gen.
Pedro Ramirez could outlast eco
nomic sanctions by the United
States and Britain.
The feeling is general in diplo-
matte circles that Gen. Ramirez Is
having increasing difflculty in hold
ing power over what it regarded as
an essentially pro-Allied population.
Move to Show Sympathy.
One informed person here sug-
gested that the recognition of Bo-
livia was desperate move by the
Argentine government to convince
its people that they are not COM
pletely cut off from the sympathy
of the rest of the hemisphere.
Dispatches from Buenos Aires re-
ported that Foreign Minister Alberto
Gilbert, announcing recognition of
the new Bolivian regime, said the
government had fulfilled "all the re-
quirements for its recognition de-
manded by the doctrine and practice
of nations" in general.
The Argentine Foreign Ministry
issued a 1,500-word statement ex-
planning its motives in recognizing
the Villarroel government, adding it
hoped Chile, Brazil and Paraguay
would take similar action.
The statement said information
received from the Argentine Am
bassador indicated the new govern
ment was stable and competent to
maintain order and ready to honor
international obligations.
It declared that nations generally
accept the dictum of Thomas Jeffer-
son as set forth in his instructions
to Gouverneur Morris, the United
States Minister to France Q792-94
whereby "the only essential is that
the will of the nation must be taken
into account"
The Foreign Ministry said any
other procedure would enable for
eign nations to demand the con-
clusion of treaties or the concession
of favors under drastic conditions as
the price of>recognition."
Such recognition is mot a favor

Port Huron says thanks for the
bouquets but 1t does not seek the

SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTH
PACIFIC Delayed Second 1t
Kenneth Du Val of Laverne, Okla.
20-year -old Marine Corps fighter
pilot, recently was rescued by an
Allied vessel after drifting for seven
days on a life raft in the South
Pacific.
He was forced out of his plane
during a storm off Bougainville
Island. He inflated his life raft and
used his rubber poncho as sail to
carry him toward Choiseful.
The next morning a fight of
marine torpedo planes spotted him
and flying boat was sent to pick
him up. Japs opened fire from the
shore and the plane had to leave.
Later a Jap float plane came out
looking for him, probably with the
intention of machine-gunning him,
but he hid under his overturned raft
On the third day 1t. Du Val sailed
down the Choiseul coast. Tying his
raft to his back, he tried to swim
ashore, but the wind and tide were
against him. He climbed back on
the raft, hoping to drift to Vella La
vella.
On the seventh day he sighted q
ship barely above the horizon. He
made a reflector by scraping the
bottom Of his canteen cup bright
with his knife. He was sighted about
an hour later and the ship changed
course and picked him up.

looks as if this years national menu
will add up to an all-time nutrition

supplies look good. Meats and dairy
products will dwindle normally. but
cereal products will be consider

The twenty percent smaller lots
of commercially canned fruits and
vegetables for the homefolks will
be more than made up for by
larger fresh supplies. There'll be
more apples, peaches, pears, april
cots and cherries this year, and a

EUROPE:
First BIO1U

Taking the first crack at Hitler's
Fortress Europe in the expected
three-headed offensive from the
west, south and east, the U. S. and
British armies in Italy launched a
powerful drive against German
Gustav line below Anzio.
In the west, Allied bombers
poured thousands of tons of eX-
plosives on the Nazis' rail network
in France, Belgium and Germany,
over which anti-invasion Comdr.
Erwin Rommel must shuttle troops
and supplies to meet the assault
against his coastal defenses. In Rus
STA, the Reds repeatedly moved
troops up in line for a big offensive
to coincide with western operations.
Under command of Britain's Gen.
Harold Alexander, the Allied push
in Italy up the broad valleys lead
ing to Rome got underway after a
thunderous artillery bombardment,
while the Nazis tried to neutralize
other Allied forces massed on the
Anzio beachhead in their rear to the

DRAFT:
30-.37 Spared

Confident of meeting the services
demands for manpower out of the
pool of younger men unless I'M
expectedly high battle casualties are
suffered, draft officials gave a new
lease on civilian life to men from
80 to 81 years of age by indefinitely
deferring them if engaged in es-
sential occupations.
At the same time, it was ruled that
men in the 26 to 90 year age group
were to be eligible for six-month
deferments if found to be necessary
and regularly employed in an essen
tial occupation. Deferments in the Is
to Is year age group will continue
to be confined to strictly key-men.
In indefinitely ~deferring men in
the 80 to 81 group in essential work,
local boards were advised not only
to 60 by the Wal Manpower COM
missions list Of necessary jobs, but
to make determinations of their own.

Ne1U Feed

A new process of extracting oil
from tung nuts may result in the
use of the residue as a protein feed
for livestock as well as a material
for plastics, Chemist R. S. McKin-
ney of the U. S. department of ag-
riculture declared.
Under the old system of extrac-
ton through pressing, only about IS
per cent of the oil from the nut was
obtained, Mckinney said. By re-
moving the oil with solvents, how
ever, almost 99.9 per cent of the oil
has been extracted, with probable
use found for the residue or meal.
Used for all sorts of paints and
varnishes and in brake-linings, tung
oil has many other applications, Nc
Kinney said. The services have
found it invaluable as an insulator
for electric wiring and as a dope"
for waterproofing the wings of naval

On the basis of 40,943, 900 acres

OIL:
Big Strike

Mississippi's little village of Hell
delberg in the southeast corner of
the state, became the mecca for the
nations sharpest oil men with the
development of two high producing
wells in the region and giddy antici-
pations that it might blossom into
another East Texas field, which has
given up almost two billion barrels
in Is years.
AS oil men rushed to be in on the
kill, the regions poor, struggling
farmers who have eked the barest
living from the stingy soil, suddenly
yisioned mamma from heaven. Be-
sides receiving fancy sums for leas-
ing their land, they would get a
royalty of %one-eighth on production.
Already, a Negro repeatedly OBJ
tanned SIT, 500 in royalties alone.
First probed by the Gulf Refining
company in 1910, the Heidelberg
field has two heavy producing wells,
both repeatedly capable of produc-
ing 5000 barrels daily.
