SOLDIER VOTE:
President Gets Bill

Passed by congress, the compro-
mise soldier vote bill, allowing use
of the short federal ballot if GER
titled by the governor and state bal
lots are ,lnobtainable, found its way
to President Roosevelt's desk for sig
nature or veto.
Once outspoken in his opposition
to bill limiting soldier voting to
state ballots alone, the President
took up the compromise measure
with caution before acting, wiring
all 48 governors to report to him
whether they would permit use of
the short federal ballot, which only
lists the presidential and congress
sional offices without including the
names of the candidates.
II the governors OK. the short
federal ballot, servicemen will only
be able to use it if their states have
no absentee voting laws, or If they
have applied for state ballots but
have not received them.

Asking for retention of present
powers, Bowles said OPA would con-
tinue with present techniques for
keeping down prices, including SUBJ
sides, which he called essential.
Cattle Subsidy
To bring cattle off the range and
prevent a market glut in the fall,
OPA considered increasing packers
subsidies by 30 cents to enable them
to offer higher prices for the stock
during spring and summer.
At the same time, government Of
ficials considered placing floor I'M
der medium and lower grade cattle
whose quality may be affected by
the tight feed situation, with floors
for the spring and summer above
those for the fall.
While increased subsidies were be-
ing considered for cattle, lower SUBJ
sides were being studied for hogs,
in line with government policy for
decreased pig production. Now $1.3o
hundred pounds, the hog subsidy
may be cut by 80 cents.

RUSSIA:

Germany's remaining foothold in
the Ukraine was loosened as Rus

AS Russia scored its military sue

prewar Rumanian border, while far

IRELAND:

relations with Great Britain have
again tensed, this time over Lon

the Emerald Isle from the outside
world If German and Japanese Off

Dublin and carry on alleged espio-
mage activities detrimental to Allied
invasion forces massed in the Unit
ed Kingdom.
Anxious to maintain its neutrality,
one reason being given that its cit
les were open to destructive bomb
ings, Ireland replied that 1t could
not Danish Axis diplomats without
inviting war, and insisted that it had
clamped down on any suspicious
enemy activity.

tween the two countries, Fire grim

As U. S. army and naval forces

to Rabaul.
General MacArthur's increasing
isolation of the 10000 Jap troops
hemmed in on Bougainville island
in the So1omons, with the U. S. fleet
and air force in control to prevent
major reinforcement or general
withdrawal.

EUROPE:

rear of the enemy hemming in U. S.

Although the thunderous leveling
Of Casino left that once-fortified
village standing directly on the road
to Rome a pile of junbled 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.

WAGES:
Control attacked

Labor's efforts to revise the War
Labor boards sterilization formula
limiting wage increases to IS per
cent over January, 1941, were
thwarted by the public's and indus
try's representatives on the board,
who advised holding off considera-
ton until congress goes over the
whole question of price control.
In an effort to revise the stabiliza-
ton formula, labor asked that the
President be requested to modify
the wage ceiling to reflect actual
living costs, and the War Labor
board hold public hearings to bring
out facts which might justify higher
pay. Steelworkers pressed for pub
lie hearings on their demands for a
17-cents-an-hoIIr raise.

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 a 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 a certain percentage
of gold and it's 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 fund on the basis of its
prewar trade, thus tending to favor
countries which had heavy foreign
commerce.
With a 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 win number
about ESQ, 000,0 900 people by 1870, or
Is million more than there will be in
all northwestern and central Eu-
rope, according to survey by
League of Nations committee. The
1899 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 q whole Is now
declining.
