TRUCK DRIVERS
RETURN TO WORK
by Associated Press

Truck shipments of vital war
goods began flowing across the
midwest, as $4,000 drivers of 103
companies paralyzed by strikes
since August 4, returned to their
jobs. The termination of the walk
out, together with the ending of
several other strikes throughout the
country, lowered the Nations total
of idle workers from 81 900 to about
10000.
The Government seized the truck
lines Saturday, after the operators
contended they are unable to pay
the wage increase of approximate
ly seven cents an hour, ordered by
the War Labor Board.

HIGHWAYS:
Urges II. S. Netsvork

Construction and improvement of
"a, 900 miles Of roads which would
provide employment for 100000
workers, was recommended to con-
gress by President Roosevelt after
more than two years Of study by a
national interregional highway COM
mittee.
To cost about $3.50, 900, 900 annually
over a period of years, the plan en-
braces creation of a system of coun-
try and urban roads that would con-
meet every part of the nation.
In general, the new system would
follow routes of existing federal aid
highways, with costs shared equally
by local, state and U. S. government
agencies. Quick congressional &C.
ton was asked to help acquire land,
draft detailed plans and accomplish
other preliminary work.

NAZI PRISONERS:
Suicides Reported

In the Nazi war prison compound
at Concordia, Kan, four stern-faced
German officers escorted one Capt.
Felix Tropschuh to a room with
bed, a chair, table and rope. While
two of them stood outside for 30
minutes, Tropschuh hanged himself.
Investigation revealed that the
prisoners had set up their own court
to try Tropschuh for anti-Hitler talk
and exposing plot for escape, and,
having found him guilty of disgrace
full conduct for a German officer,
left him with the traditional Prus-
sian alternative of killing himself.
Another Nazi suicide at the camp
was 39-year-old Franz Kettner, who
took his own life when he feared
violence because of the discovery Of
his belief in a free Austria.

sCHINCH BUGS: The prolonged
drouth is adding new danger in the
corn belt-the threat of much larg-
er number of chinch bugs next sea-
son. Dry fall weather is favorable
to the pests, as they can go into
Information with small losses. An
open winter also preserves many of
the insects, who would ordinarily be
killed by cold, it was said by ento-
mologists.
POTATOES: The Berlin radio has
told the German people that it will
be necessary to reduce their rations
Of potatoes in order to provide seed
for the spring planting. The 1943
crop was short because Of a severe
drouth.
GUNS: Japanese artillery and
small arms are both lacking in fire
power, according to a U. S. army
ordnance expert. The Japanese rifle
is of too small a caliber, he said.
They are now putting larger cali
Der piece in service. The change
over, he said, will complicate their
supply problems, probably fatally.
BIBLE: An American soldier in
Italy credits a pocket Bible with
saving his life. A piece of shrapnel
struck him in the chest, tore through
his shirt, and buried itself in the
thick leaves of the book. Only a
fragment got through, causing a
scratch.
PRO FOOTBALL: Three cities,
San Francisco, Los Angeles and Buff
falo. have applied to the National
Football league for franchises. It
is believed that the representa- tives
of football in these cities do not in
tend to enter their teams in league
competition until after the war.

FATS AND OILS:
Output Larger

Keeping up with increased de-
mands, fats and oils output in the
u. S. for 1943-'44 will approximate
100000 pounds to top last years
production of 10,6O0,0oO pounds.
Despite an easing Of the supply
situation for the current year, it was
pointed out that stocks might be Sc
verely drained to fill needs abroad
in case of an Allied victory In Eu-
rope in 1914.
Soybean production for the 1943
season was set at 1877, 1000, 900 BUSH
els, for peanuts $780, 900 pounds, and
for cottonseed $4,000 tons.
Because Of decreases in lard and
grease output, overall fat and oils
production for the 1944-'45 season
should drop below this years fig
ures.

EUROPE:
Biggest Loss

Fighting through swarms Of Nazi
fighter planes which pressed home
their attacks in close ranks, and
running into new rocket antiaircraft
fire that threw up shells "as big as
a house." 700 U. S. Liberators and
Flying Fortresses protected by al
most 500 light combat escorts
smashed hard at German airplane
factories in southwestern Germany.
AS the big u. S. aerial fleet fred
the machine shops and assembly
plants with a record loss Of ga
planes, other Allied bombers struck
at the big Greek port of Piraeus out
side of Athens, supply center for
German strongpoints in the Aegean
sea, guarding the near eastern water
route to the Balkans.
Although heavy weather turned
the ground into goo, U. S. dough-
boys beat down Nazi mountain posts
in southern Italy in their advance on
Casino, key to the 7O-nile road to
Rome. In bearing down on Casino,
doughboys were overrunning hill po-
sitions to the north, west and south,

CIVILIAN GOODS:
Hold Back Steel

Although curtailment Of orders
has resulted in a reduction Of steel
operations, the War Production
board refused to lift its ban on use
Of the metal in 646 civilian items,
except in special instances to inn
prove substitutes.
WPB's decision, it was said, was
based on:
1. The army and navy's position
that limitations on the use Of ma
terials should not be removed until
war needs are clear;
2. WPB's conclusion that expand
ed civilian production would result
in shortages of coal, petroleum, lum-
Der for Grating, packaging paper
and transportation, all Of which are
not sufficient to even meet war re-
quirements.
