not have to have your spring sniff
files without benefit Of cough drops,

pleted such supplies, manufacture
ers are being given new hand

replacing them.

creased to IS per cent more than
the amount that was used in l941.
Production can begin at once since
manufacturers can start increased
production with their ALLEGATION Of
sugar for the first quarter of l944.

DIAKGR DILEMMA
The diaper problem is ell
wrapped up in the snarl of trans
portation and manpower shortages.
Expediters, experts, and specialists
in the Office of Civilian Require
ments are discussing how to make
diaper delivery service go further,
To decrease deliveries will take a
bigger supply of diapers. To in
crease them to make ends meet on
diaper supply takes more tires and
man-hours.
ODDS AND ENDS
Pressure cookers have been re-
moved from rationing when they
are to be used for food preserving
Supplies are still inadequate for
all demands, however, so prospec-
tive buyers who want cookers for
other uses will have to make APP
plication to the Director, Office of
Materials and Facilities, War Food
Administration, Washington, D. G.
The January quota of new pas
senger automobiles for civilians is
the lowest since rationing of cars
was put into effect almost two years
ago. Woven decorative fabrics,
such as those used for bedspreads,
draperies, upholstery, and slipcovers
have been given new ceiling prices
at the jobber level to prevent infla-
tionary prices that were appearing
here and there.

Berdicheu
FoIIs-Report

London, Jan. 5-(UP)-The Berlin
radio reported today that the Ger
mans had evacuated the eastern
part Of the town Of Berdichev, Uk-
ranian rail junction anchoring the
Nazi defense positions before the
Bug river.
A German communique acknow-
Lodging the loss of a part OF Berdi-
chev indicated that the vital juno
ton anchoring the wavering de-
lenses below Zhitomir was about to
fall to the Russians If 1t had not
already done so.
The capture of Berdichev, 20 miles
south Of zhitomir, would open a
path for the Red Army down to the
Bug river SO miles away and pose
an imminent threat to the Odessa
lwow railway, the last main line for
the evacuation Of the Dnieper Bend.
1.-THE Soviets intensified their at
tacks In the Berdichev sector" the
Ferlin com,puniqve, "after violent
fighting the eastern part OF the town
was abandoned, while the Soviets
were repelled in other parts Of the
town."
The German communique report
ed that the Red Army launched an
attack with several infantry divi-
sions and many tanks after strong
artillery preparation In east-central
White Russia west Of Propoisk.
The fighting. which is causing
extremely high losses for the So
victs, Is still in progress" 1t added

Constant Use of Alibis Has Root

One Of the most familiar forms
Of the alibi-habit Is out-and-out
self-pity. Handling difficulty. max
ing the best Of bad messes, and
surrounding even tragic situations
Is one Of LIES major businesses
and in a large proportion Of cases
the real reason why this victory Is
not won lies inside the individual
In habits OF thought and in emo

there is to be any help.
The recognition Of this, however,
by the individual concerned is diff

his horses on a dusty road. How
much longer does this hill last?" he
asked q man by the roadside. Hill"

One reason for our insistence on
seeking the cause of failure outside
ourselves rather than inside Is a
natural reluctance to examine our
selves. Introspection Is difficult.
Few people effectively practice it.
They are too busy. too obsessed by

War Long

washington, J q II. - (UP) -
Though much good already has been
spilled, the United Nations thus far
have liberated only fourth Of the
territory overrun by the Nazis and
a twentieth Of the land seized by
Japan, the office Of War Informa-
ton said today in warning against
hopes for an early end Of the war.
The owl, In long report aimed
at offsetting over optimism, said
high military leaders believed that
much heavy fighting was necessary
To crush Germany and that there
was no soft, easy way to conquering
Japan.
The report UNDERSIGNED recent off,

eminent officials on the length and
nature of the war. One foresaw more
than 5000 new casualties within
90 days; another saw the war leng-
thened by six months by rail and
steel strike threats which he said
gave the Germans a psychological
lift.
The owl said the high command
was not counting on any collapse OF
the Nazi home front but was pre-
pared to use military might to bring
about the German defeat. AS for the

Gov. Should
Aid Banks

Cambridge, Mass, January S. -
(UP) - Government should stimu-
late the nations banks to foster
business enterprise In the United
States instead Of competing with
private finance, banking and finance
professor, J. Franklin Ebersole Of
Of Harvard University, said today.
Government can stimulate the
desired action on the part Of banks. {"
said Ebersole, mot only by creating
favorable environment for busi-
ness enterprise in general, but also
by taking measures specifically az
fecting banks and designed to aid
banks in action"
Writing In the Harvard Business
Review, he attacked the competi-
ton with banks Of the many gov
eminent agencies. bureau and sub
sidiary corporations that are en-
powered to grant loans.
''The time has come for these gov
eminent lending agencies to ascer
tain their total operating costs, I"
Ebersole added. 'The fact that such
calculations have not been made and
published by any one Of these gov
eminent agencies suggests the pos
sibility that such figures would be an
embarrassment to those who wish,
for others reasons than economical
operation, to extend the operation
Of such agencies or TO make them
permanent"
He advocated that banks be al
lowed to set up q new form Of loss
reserves exempt from federal taxa

Washington, Jan. 5 - For the
first time in history, the u. s. Gov
eminent will crack down on two
members Of the British House of
Lords when 1t brings a giant anti
trust action against Imperial
Chemical Industries, Ltd, and the
DUPONT Company on Thursday.
The two noble gentlemen are
Lord MCGOWAN, chairman of I'm
perial Chemical Industries, and
Lord Melchet, its director and lead
ing scientific genius. Their COM
pany will be charged by the Justice
Department with conspiring with
the DuPonts to control the chem
ical markets of the world. Lord
MCGOWAN is also a director Of Gen.
eral Motors, which is owned by Du
Points, and in addition has world
wide chemical connections, being
head of African Explosives and In
dustries, and director of Cana
dian Industries, Ltd.
Lord MCGOWAN once made a
speech in the British Parliament
critical of the Sherman Antitrust
Act, asking when business might
expect to be freed from its restric-
tons.
He got an immediate reply from
Eric Johnston, president of the U.
S. Chamber Of Commerce, who
stated publicly that the Sherman
Antitrust Act had the support of
American business and was on the
law books to stay.

/ Questioned by Pros. Atty. Albert
w. Huinmel. patrolman John
(Jingles) Donahue, related that on
the night Of Dec. ~ he was work
ing In Leo Meccas restaurant On
South Main street when he noticed
a disturbance at the end Of the bar.
He said he put his hand on the
shoulder Of Walter Banasewski, 20,
80 South View street. whereupon
Banasewski turned and threw 3
sucker punch" at him, fracturing q
bone beneath his eye, for which he
Is still receiving medical treatment.
The officer said he then placed
Banasewski under arrest, and with
blood streaming from his face, led
him out Of the restaurant. Willis
he was leading him out, another
man asked him to let 60 Of Bana>
sewski, but he refused.
AS they got out of the restaurant,
four men attacked him, the officer
related, took away his blackjack.
and left him lying on the ground.
Asked by Atty. Ciano II he was
employed as a "bouncer", Officer
Donahue replied that he was ems
ployed to see that peace was not
disturbed. He said he had never
thrown any one out Of the reStau-
rant, but when called to quar-
relsome customer, would reason
with him, and II necessary escort
him out.
Officer Donahue said he could
not positively identify the other ac-
cused, James Vaccareln, 20, 90 South
View street as one Of his assailants,
because 1t was dark outside the
restaurant and blood from the cut
beneath his eye was blinduig him.
Vaccarelli was discharged On q
charge of assault and fined SIS ON
charge Of breach Of the peace.
while BanaSewski was assessed
$l25.
The accused took the stand to ex-
plain that the fracas started when
vaccarelli slipped on his way out
of the restaurant and fell against
an elderly man formerly employed
at the establishment. They said
that Banasewsli was attempting to
help Vaccarelli UP, when the man,
thinking they were coming for him,
began TO punch at the pair. Fists
we're flying, all around, BanasewsIxi
said, and apparently the officer
walked into one. He said he did
not know Donahue was a police
man, or that he was under arrest.
