IN EYES OF NATION

But il is being watched nation
ally because il will be the first
indication of the sentiment of the
Midwest in the presidential con-
test.
Unlike the bitter primary bat
ties OF the past, the campaign
ends this year with little excite
ment.
Gov Kelly Is unopposed for the
Republican nomination. and the
three-candidate race for the nomi-
nation on the Democratic ticket
failed to create interest. The
Democratic candidates are Ernest
Brooks of Holland. state chairman
Of his party: Edward J. Fry, for
mer state chairman and brother
Of Liquor Commissioner Theodore
l. Fry. and Circuit Court Commits
sioner William Cody of Detroit.
The one state contest that has
interested politicians is the race
between 1t. Gov. Eugene Keyes
and Auditor General Vernon J.
Brown for the COP nomination
for lieutenant governor.

announced, more
than $4,000 German troops
were knocked out within the
last three days inside the
shrinking trap east of liber-
ated Minsk. Over $4,000
Nazi officers and men were
killed and at least Is, 900 taken
prisoner, including three Ger.
man generals, the Soviet bull
letin stated.
Operations to complete "exter-
mination" of the rest of the
trapped Germans were continuing.
Wilno became the scene of a
bloody street battle when the
Third White Russian Army burst
into the former capital of Lithu-
ania after cutting the railroad
leading north to Daugavpils
(Dvinsk).
ESCAPE BLOCKED
Severance of that railroad
blocked the main route for Col.

armies of some Is to 40 divisions
possibly as many as 100000
men-to escape from Estonia and
Latvia into Lithuania and East
Prussia.
With only one good escape
artery via Riga and Kaunus left

faced the danger of being caught
in a giant trap as a result of the
Russian advance into Wilno which
lies SIS miles east-northeast Of
Berlin.
In the drive into Wilno, the Rus

localities out of more than ITO

frontiers three years ago.
NEW DRIVE INDICATED
Significantly. the latest Soviet
communique told of Offensive
operations" east of Pinsk in which
seven large towns and two rail-
points were captured in what may
be the preliminary actions of a
new drive TO smash the southern
German flank resting on the Car

There S Meat
Aplenty Here
But You Must Take
What You Can Get

Confused reports on Detroit
meat situation Saturday agreed
on only one point:
Detroiters will not go hungry
for meat-if they will take
what they can get.
Cries of famine resulted in two
checks of supplies being made,
one by OPA inspectors and the
second by board of health in
spectors.
Both surveys reported "ade-
quate" supplies of various types
and grades of meat. Beef is scarce
in all grades with choice grades
almost unavailable. Lamb is in
fair supply. Pork and veal are
adequate except for a scarcity of
hams and pork loins Poultry and
fish are reported abundant.
HOUSE CLOSINGS DENIED
Emphasis 10 the meat famine
was added with public statements
that 30 local slaughterhouses had
closed because of inability TO sell
beef at OPA ceilings because live
stock prices. unregulated by OPA,
had scared TO a point that wiped
out profit
Board of health figures disclosed
that Is of the 80 local slaughterers
had not closed at all. Seven closed
because they were operating at a
loss. Two closed for vacations
customary al this time of year
Three did no killing, reporting an
adequate supply of dressed meat
on hand. Four small houses were
listed as doubtful"
ADEQUATE SUBSTITUTES
The largest independent b 4
slaughterer remained in operation
at capacity throughout the re-
ported holiday" Another large
slaughterer operated bat was kill
ing only for his own use in sausage
and lunch grade beef.
One large grocery chain re-
ported its beef supply Is per cent
under last week. but said other
meats were ample A second ma
jor chain reported limited meat
supplies. but said buyers would
find adequate substitutes in the
less popular cuts.
military services are taking
a terrific percentage of our
choice steer beef" one commits
sion man explained. There Is
only n limited supply available
to the citizens. The housewife
with red points insists on spend
ing them for this choice meat.
She will not be satisfied with
good or commercial grades nor
will she take anything but the
best cuts. There just isn't
enough to 90 around"
