No Hope In Cigarette
 Shortage
BY EULALIE MCDOWELL Limited Press Staff COrrespOndent)

bX EOhAAAE MCOOWEA1A United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Washington, November 14.-(UP) = Government officials today at- tributed the mounting cigarette shortage to a combination of hoarding by smokers. growing black market, the tendency of deal CTS to save popular brands for fave orite patrons and the fact that peo- pie are smoking more.
 The Office of Price Administra- ton said its investigators have, found evidence that an increasing number of fayorite brands are be- ing diverted into black market channels and that its enforcement agents throughout the country have been ordered to crack down on cetl- ing price violations. This is the only phase of the shortage that the OPA is legally empowered to combat.
 War Food Administration spokes- men said one reason for the current shortage was the small tobacco crops back in lo41 and 1942. Cigar cite tobacco is aged two or three years before being used, thereby, delaying for 6 corresponding period the effect of short crop on the total cigarette supply.
 Per capita consumption last year was 193 packs and while this years figures are not available, officials believe they will be higher. The WFA said that last Decem- Der was the 37th consecutive month in which there was 8 rise in per capita consumption of cigarettes. At that time the nation was using 6U times more cigarettes than in 1900. Supplies for 1945 are not ex- pected to be any greater than dur I ing the current year, but the WFA. hopes that the good tobacco crop this year will mean more cigarettes in 1946.
 | Tremendous Share
 The Armed Forces are now talk ing 8 tremendous share of the cigarette supply, but lend-lease IS reported officially to be draining no American cigarettes from the market.
 Production this year is estimated at 12,0OO, 100000 packs, or about 1 ,O00, ,0OO, 900 a month. Here is how military demands dip into these supplies:
 Procurement for the Army over seas and for distribution through post exchanges in this country was 28O, 3o4, ,O00 packs in September, a steady rise from demands of 172,- 999, ,000 in May.
 Estimated consumption by Naval personnel on Foreign and sea duty will be 800, 900 ,OO0 packs this year an average of about 66,0Oo,ooO a month. This figure does not 1n- clude consumption through naval ships stores.
 In addition, the Red Cross takes approximately 100000 packs a month to fill servicemen's kits and supply hospitals and prisoners or war.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-11-14

Continued from Page D wave of extreme popularity. They buy their cigarettes at service cam teens where the supply is unlimited and several boasted they could go out with any girl in town"
 Memphis war plants and ofnces had been SO disrupted by their workers scrambling for cigarets that retailers were persuaded to sell the limited supply only before and after business hours. In Chicago and other large cities chain stores were selling at only stipulated hours and lines half block formed in front of them.
 Petition RatiOning
 The Chicago Retail Druggist as- sociation petitioned the OPA TOT cigaret rationing. contending 1t was the only way to distribute the avail able supply fairly, but Washington officials indicated that rationing was not being considered because it would be difficult to administer.
 But OPA was moving against the black market. Detroit regional of- ficials received complaints that cigarets were being sold at 40 cents a pack in war plants and an OPA investigator in Atlanta found drug stores selling them at 50 cents a pack. Black market prices of 25 to 50 cents pack were reported in New York and Connecticut war industry centers. Detroit city of- ficials threatened restaurants sell- ing cigarets at more than the ceil- ing price with revocation of their licenses. In Chicago OPA officials investigated leakage" of some 30 per cent in the flow of cigarets from manufacturer to retailer. In New York, the OPA found evidence of black marketing on the whole sale level.
 Few Cigarets
 Tn all cities with a few note- worthy exceptions popular brandS were available only few days each week and few hours on those days. Unknown brands were in better sup- ply but in many places there were no cigarets of any kind. Part Of that was due to widespread crls- tom among retailers of keeping their short supplies under their counters and doling them out a pack at a time to their established custom CTS.
 Small areas of abundance were revealed. Merchants of Columbia, S. C., still were selling cigarets by the carton to all applicants, un- aware of a shortage. In Nash vile, Tenn, there were plenty of cigarets. Huge stocks were sent into the area for Army maneuvers of the last few years. The troops didn't use them and the troops are gone now. In New Oorleans there were enough cigarets for known customers to buy them a carton at a time.

Patton's Army Stabs At Metz From Two Sides
Continued from Page 1.)

Southeast of Metz, the Germans attempted at least 15 small scale counter-attacks, but in each case were thrown back to their initial positions. Tanks of the 9th armor- ed division operating in the Vitton- court area 12 miles southeast of Metz gained a mile yesterday while the 26th Division advanced two miles on six-mile front two miles north of Dieuze.
 Resumes Offensive
 At Chateau Voue, 9 miles north east of Nancy, the 26th Division not only repelled a counter-attack, but resumed the offensive itself and ad- Vanced two miles.
 It. Gen. Alexander M. PatchS American 7th Army on the southern flank of the 3rd Army advanced as much as two miles in an intensified assault east of Luneville, capturing Leintrey, just south of the Lune- ville-Sarrebourg railway and within 16 miles northwest of Sarrebourg itself.
 Farther south, the 7th Army seized Montigny, five miles north east of Baccarat and Astride an- other highway running northeast to Sarrebourg. Paach'S forces, like the 3rd Army, found resistance only moderate and best indicating were that the Germans were pulling back all along the eastern France front apparently in an effort to avoid a knockdown battle west of the Rhine.
 Leintrey Fall
 A front dispatch said Leintrey fell after a Skirmish with German rear guards. Last night, the dis patch said, the Americans were pursuing the withdrawing enemy across an open plain east of the town.
 Southeast of Baccarat, the Ger mans mounted strong counter attack. It was broken up by Ameri- can artillery which inflicted an es- timated 150 casualties on the enemy
 Other 7th Army troops southeast of BruyereS entered the villages of Aumontezy and Champdray and seized three nearby dominating heights

 It is well known, Schmidt said, that Allied bombers fly over Swe- den to shorten the route Germany and that Soviet bombers dropped quarters while Soviet agents give bombs on Stockholm's residential Swedish printing firms orders for leaflets directed against the Reich government which are illegally dis tributed to German soldiers"
 The Swedish Press, he said, found excuses for these various violations, but i've do not know the real req son for the storm of indignation.
 He added his "amazement at the Swedish peoples indignation over extending the danger zone for ship ping in the Baltic," which he said was in no way contrary to interna- tional law.
 A Stockholm dispatch said the firstl victim of the blockade was a Finnish boat which sank yesterday off the south Finnish coast after hitting German mine while sail- ing from Sweden to Helsinh with Q cargo Of wheat and sugar.

 The LancaSters administered the coup de grace to the Tirpitz, $50,- 100000 battleship which took i've years to build. in Norway's Tromso fjord 225 miles north of the Arctic Circle.
 Three direct hits with six-ton earthquake bombs pierced the Tir- pitz's decks, internal explosions fol- lowed, and she rolled over on her side and slipped to the bottom of the shallow fjord, all in a matter of minutes, the air ministry said.
 Subsequent reconnaissance show ed TOO feet of the Tirpitz keel eX- posed in a pool of oil and wreck age. Her outrigger booms designed to protect the hull from torpedo attack also protruded above shall low water.
 Loss Of Crew
 The Clandestine Radio Atlantic said the Tirpitz sank within four minutes with a loss of all but 700 of her crew of more than 2.0O0.
 Flight It. B. A. Buckham of Syd- ney, Australia, one of the Lancaster pilots participating in the attack, said the first bombs dropped fell just beyond the ship.

AS a mechanic, he supervised the making of homemade rifles with machinery his forces carried into the hills in 1942. The process was so slow that his men had only 60 rifles at the end of three years of guer- rilla warfare.
 They depended almost entirely on their bows and arrows.
 Sometimes" he said, when the Japs would walk within three or four feet of us we would use long boloS.
 You spring out of hiding and swing first on the back of the neck, then you swing another slash on the front of the neck-and that cuts the head off"
 He estimated that his personal bag of Japanese during three years ran into the hundreds. He and his men have whittled the original enemy force of 5000 on his island to 5000 and the remaining Japs seldom venture out of their caves.
 But when they become desperate for food they will have to leave the caves and then we will get them" he said.

 '"That's the trouble" the man said. Senators don't use 1t any more arses too much commotion."
 Comfortable Chair
 While was recovering I tried out the chair of vice-president Henry A. Wallace and I can report that it is a black calf skin dilly. with pa- tent insides. It'll do anything that a hospital bed will do; the vice-pres- ident can push a lever and take a nap any time he's of the mind.
 But now 1t was noon and got to talking to another official who said it was beyond him why the House or Representatives lunch room served SO much more food, better and cheaper, than did the Senate restaurant. He said senatorial food was awful. He said there ought to be a law.
 You don't catch me running my stomach on the meals of senators: I had lunch with the representa- tives, most of whom were taking the Ascent special: Boston baked beans, salt pork, coffee, and fine slab of pie.
 Congressmen can have all the cat sup they want with their beans. So can Othman when he eaetS with them and there doesn't seem to be anything the OPi can do about it.. I didn't investigate the rationing of congressional catsup; merely float ed my beaens in 1t, like the law makers, and I don't know when I've had a better lunch. The apple pie was good, too, and so was the cof- fee. All congress needs now, as I see 1t, is some sand.

when we first arrived, but after that first bomb hit, her guns stop ped firing. Not a shot came up after that.
 Smoke began to pour up. It spiralled at first in Q column, then spread out over the doomed ship like mushroom.
 "Afterward, there were several explosions. One of them was very big, but the fire did not seem to last very long-not more than two or three minutes, I should say.
 Capsizes
 Tt was difficult to see exactly what was happening at this stage, smoke was pouring from the vessel and we could not see her clearly finally, she capsized."
 One Lancaster was lost in the g. 400-mile round-trip flight.
 The loss of the Tirpitz reduced Germany's naval striking power to two so-called pocket battleships of only 10000 tons, the Lutzow (for- merly the Deutschland and the Admiral Scheer, three heavy cruis- CTS and assorted light cruisers and destroyers, nearly all of them im- mobilized in the Baltic or in Nor wegian Fjords.
 Thus Germany has list all four battleships with which she started the war. The Bismarck, a sister ship of the Tirpitz, was sunk in &C., ton in the Atlantic, May 27, 194l. while the 26,O0O-ton Scharnhorst was sunk in battle in Arctic wa- ters in December 1943.

 Berlin said other Russian troops which entered Fuezesabony, 30 miles southeast of Miskolo, were menacing the second highway IS miles above the first road. Cutting of the two highways would leave the Germans and Hungarians in Northeastern Hungary only long circuitous rout to Budapest.)
 Occupy Another Town
 In establishing the front around Jaszbereny, 8 key communications center on the zagyva river. the Sov- jets also occupied -Mihalytelek, three miles to the southeast; Taplo- szentmarton, 13 miles to the south- west and three miles from the rail line to Miskolc; and Tapobickse, 20 miles south of Hatvan.
 (The Germans reported that Mall inovsky had thrown 100000 men into that front. They also claimed the Russians, in an attempt to reach Budapest from the rear, had made another crossing of the Danube at Batina, Yugoslavia, 100 miles south of the Hungarian capitalO
 (Marshal Tito meantime an- nounced that his Yugoslav partisans had broken into Skoplje, on the Athens Belgrade railroad, and en- gagged the Germans in fierce street fighting. The town is only 90 miles from the Greek border and one of the few enemy -held points remain- ing on the rail line, which would give Russia a short supply route from the Mediterranean.)
 (Tito also confirmed that Yugo- slav and Soviet forces captured Bat ina on the west side of the Danube, six miles south of the Hungarian border, and were advancing west ward.
