Press War ANALYST

A three-way Soviet squeeze that
threatens to entrap vast German
forces lends emphasis to Marshal
Stalin's declaration that 1874 will
be a year of victory for the United
Nations.
The iron man of Russia made
that statement at Cairo, obviously
basing it on the expectation of de-
stroying substantial portion of
the Nazi armies in retreat and
that's just what may be shaping
up now in the frozen land of the
Dnieper.
Principal attention has been paid
to the Russian break-through to
the Polish border. But, south of
that striking development in the
upper corner Of the Kiev bulge,

Prohibition
Controversy
Opens Again
HEARINGS ON BILL SET
Words Called Same As
Those Uttered Quarter
A Century Ago

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-lR-The
argument over wartime prohibi-
ton started all over again in the
Capitol today aad except for re-
ferences to what happened before,
the words might have been re-
cording of what was said a quar-
ter century ago.
The principal argument was
Monday morning hangovers il
war plants VS.. insistence on per-
sonal Notwithstanding service
mems claims to a voice in the
decision whether they have beer.
Rep. Hobbs DALAI touched off
the controversy by announcing
that House judiciary sub-com-
mittee of which he is chairman viii
hold hearings next week on bill
to outlaw all traffic in beverages
containing more than oae-half Of
one per cent alcohol by volume.
Introduced last March by Rep.
Bryson SCI t. e legislation
would impose prohibition for the
duration of the war and until after
rehabilitation of the armed fore
es. Its announced purpose is to
curb absenteeism and promote
war production, pr m b / y
through reduction of M d a y
morning hangovers among war
workers.
Hobbs said proponents would be
heard first but did not name wit
nesses.
DR.. George W. Crabbe, general
superintendent of the Anti-Salooa
League of America, said he had
not arranged for the committee
meeting and did not plan to testi-
fly unless called.
Rep. Wickersham D.-Okla),
prohibitio1ist, joined in opposition
to the Bryson proposal because of
its plan to dry up the country by
statute.
IF we are to have prohibition,
we should do it by amendment to
the Constitution Wickersham
said. I doubt if Congress has the
authority"
Rep. Ploeser R.-Mo.). a non
driaker but not prohibitionist,
asserted Congress would be TAX
ing unfair advantage of the men in
service if it voted prohibition while
they are away fighting"
You can't enforce morals"
Ploeser added. Our last expert
ence with prohibition was one of
the worst things that have ever
happened to this country
Bryson was not expected in
Washington until late this week,
but several of his colleagues in
the fight for prohibition said Con-
gressional sentiment against liza
uor had increased sharply in re-
cent months, due largely to moro
than a thousand petitions on the
Bryson bill.
The petitions have been sent to
the judiciary committee from all
over the country and bear hun
dreds Of thousands of signatures.

clerk of the house, estimated that

Be PrOspector For Gold

sent county police in search of the
proWler time and again. Invari-
ably, when the law arrived on the
scene, there was no one Of a sus-
pi GU character anywhere
around. But yesterday, the prowl-
er did not elude the sheriff's re-
personalities. He was there on the

paraphernalia that had set the
community minds to wondering if
a saboteur were not among them.
He was dressed for action.
The man: H. A. Rivenbark, long
time resident of Wilmington, a

40 P%ouItrymen Ship
BOTS Dozen Eggs

During the months of February,
March, April and May of this year, 49,
0l5 dozen eggs were shipped coopera-
lively by fewer han 40 shippers in the
Lexington community to Grenada. This
does not include eggs shipped from
Acona, Durant and other points Of the
county. If a complete record of ship
ments were compiled, this report would
probably show in the neighborhood of
5000 dozens.
At 30 cents per dozen about the aver
age price, these eggs brought the ship
per slightly more than 100000, or ap-
proximately $4,000 for each shipper.
1t will be remembered that four years
ago no eggs were shipped out of tho
county other than a few during the flush
season of the year. On the other hand,
eggs were shipped into the county from
cold storage concerns throughout the
winter months.
Most of the poultrymen making ship
ments comparatively are producing high
quality infertile eggs, whereas, four
years ago no one in the county was pro-
ducing infertile eggs. It is easy to see
the Improvement in the quality of the
product and a high percent of the eggs
being shipped are being graded as a
nigh quality product.

Jerry TiImon Is
Wanted By Boord

State Director of Selective Service,
Colonel Lawrence W. Long. stated that
the effort to clear the State of Missis-
sippi of all ~delinquents within the next
60 days j. now being intensified. Any
one knowing the whereabouts of the
registrant listed below is urgently re-
quested to inform Local Board Number
Selective Service at once.
The United States District Attorney
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation
VIII give full cooperation. 1t is unjust
that these reglstrants should shirk their
duty to the nation while thousands of
others are making the supreme sacri-
flee. Many of the $50 delinquent regis
trants in Mississippi are delinquent
through ignorance of the law. These, of
course, will be indicted into the Armed
Forces; thereby clearing themselves of
their delinquency. This can only be done
If they are cleared Immediately.
Others, however, may be wilfully de-
hnquent. In those cases, the registrants
may face a serious Federal charge, and
If convicted, a term in the Federal
p~enitentiary.
1t Is the duty of the citizens of the
State OF Mississippi to cooperate with
State Headquarters of Selective Service
IN helping to clear out this undesirable
situation.
The registrant listed as delinquent in
purant is: JERRY TILLMAN.
