Asks Farmers Help In Woods
lands and for work in forest industries.
To mobilize farmers on farm wood
the War Production Board, War Food
Administration, and Wan Manpower
Commission have combined forces. Farm
ers and farm workers are asked to devote
their spare time, particularly during the
slack winter-spring period, to work in
the woods and wood industries. Pro-
duction of ii million cords of domestic
pulpwood will be necessary in 1944 to
supply the needs of our armed forces
overseas and meet essential home front
war requirements, according to WPB's
paper division. Farmers have nearly
239 million acres of farm woods which
annually produce about one-third of all
forest products and 3S per cent of the
eountry's pulpwood.

pared with 4 200 in December, 1912. How

rate of production must be maintained
in order to meet the tractor quota of
209, 900 for the IL months that will end

Possible Government
Control Is Predicted
Rich District Virtuolly.
PoroIyxed by Wolkouts

LONDON, March l0-(P) -
The British War Cabinet let II
be known today that firm action
will be taken to halt the coal
strike which has virtually par
alyzed the rich South Wales
minefields unless the 10000 or
more miners now idle return at
once to the pits.
There was no official indica-
ton what the action would be,
but labor leaders said the Gov
eminent was prepared to take
over the mines as it did during
the general strike 70 1925.
Arthur Horner, president of
the powerful Welsh Miners Uni
on, returned to Cardiff last
night after a day-long meeting
with Fuel Minister Gwilym
Lloyd George and Immediately
appealed TO the miners to re-
sumo work pending future nego-
tiations to settle their wage
complaints.
Miners delegates, meanwhile,
went forward with plans for a
conference Saturday, at which
they will discuss concessions al
ready won, and issued a call
for a series of workers mass
meetings on Sunday.
Union leaders said the miners
die not fully understand the
concessions which were granted
Wednesday when the Fuel Min
lister approved an agreement be-
tween the operators and men
advancing the piece rate scale
and providing extra allowances
for those forced to work in wa
ter or heavy dust.

LISBON, March 10-(R)-The
German press appears to be try
ing to find some comfort in the
fact that American repatriates
recently released from intern
ment at Baden-Baden reported
that Germans living in that area
seemed TO be adequately fed
and that their morale evidently
was unbroken.
The Berlin Boersen- Zeitung,
for instance, featured a story by
its correspondent at Lisbon -
whence the Americans recently
sailed for home on the exchange
liner Gripsholm-that the re-
patriates agreed ut would be
nonsense to believe for one min
ute that Germany is starving"
Many even declared that CT
william morale had been strength
ened by the terror attacks of
English and American bomb
ers," the correspondent wrote.
At the same time Das
Schwartz Korps, organ of the
S. S. elite Guard), printed a
grim editorial declaring that
while Germans may be weary of
the war they should remember
that the Allies may also be sick
and tired" TO the conflict.
Likening the present stage of
the war to the last half-mile of
a difficult mountain climb, the
Organ said:
1--WE can be blunt for a
change and say that in the fifth
year we are really fed up with
the whole war =. The danger
is the tendency of Germans TO
forget the other side is getting
tired, too. In the first World
War the enemy was more than
