RUSSIA:
Free Ukraine

Germany's remaining foothold in
the Ukraine was loosened as Rus
sian troops smashed into Nazi lines
along the Bug river, and as the en-
emy's forces fell back toward Ru-
mania, the Reds regained the rich
farm and mineral land.
AS Russia scored it's military sue
cess in the south, Finland in the
north turned down Moscow's armis-
tice offer, based on restoration of
the 1910 borders and internment of
German troops entrenched in the
little country.
Russia's southern drive carried
Red troops to within 30 miles of the
prewar Rumanian border, while far

PACIFIC:
Troubled War-Lords

AS U. S. army and naval forces

to Rabaul.
General Macarthur increasing

EUROPE:
Drive Wedge in Italy

Having driven a wedge into the
Germans main defense line by lev
cling Casino with a devastating
aerial attack by heavy bombers, Al
lied forces fought hard to advance
up the road to Rome and get at the
rear of the enemy hemming in U. S.
and British troops on the Anzio
beachhead.
Although the thunderous leveling
of Casino left that once-fortified
village standing directly on the road
to Rome pile of jumbled mortar,
Nazi guns established in the sur
rounding hills continued to rake Al
lied troops, making progress slow.
Preliminary to the big showdown
in the west, Allied bombers contin-
ued to roar over Axis Europe, rip
ping at Nazi channel defenses,
Frances network of rails over which
the enemy plans to shuttle troops to
meet invasion armies, and German
industries turning out the weapons
of war. To counter the raids, the
Nazis sent up swarms of fighter
planes, and great sky battles ragged.

MONEY SYSTEM:
SHAPED for World

Long in consideration, the United
Nations plan for an international
money system after the war is TAX
ing shape, with gold to play an i'm
portant part as result of Russia's
support.
Based on a plan drawn by the
U. S. treasury's monetary expert,
Harry D. White, the new money
system would require each country
to contribute certain percentage
of gold and its own currency to a
sterilization fund, which would then
operate to prevent any nations ex-
change from rising or falling.
Whites plan differs from Brit
aims, which considered having each
nation contribute to an international
sterilization fur d on the basis of its
prewar> trade, thus tending to favor
countries which had heavy foreign
commerce.
With comparatively small pre-
war trade, Russia found the U. S.
plan more acceptable, thus swinging
the balance in its favor.
POPULATION
At the present rate Of increase,
the Russian population will number
about $50, 10000 people by 1870, or
Is million more than there will be in
all northwestern and central Eu-
rope, according to a survey by
League of Nations committee. The
1889 census of the Soviet Republics
gave total of about ITO millions.
Current estimates place the figure
at 100 millions.
The survey stated that the popula-
ton of Europe as a whole is now
declining.

which they are entitled under
international agreements, re-

"check-off" which may be en-

The checkoff is a system pro-

under which union dues are de-
Quoted from pay envelopes before
their delivery to the employe, such
collections being turned over to the
union by the employer.
Where war prisoners may be SUBJ

question concerning who (other
than the prisoneD pays the dues
will be matter for the company
the Treasury Department, the War
Manpower Commission and the

the prisoner will still get his 80
cents.
The comment was prompted by an

checkoff of Is cents week will be
demanded from the wages of 165
