Expected decreases in the number
of hogs to be marketed this year, as
compared with 1943, will materially
reduce lard production. Unless the
1914 production of oilseeds is ex-
ceptionally high, there is no prospect
of increased vegetable oil production.
Total output of fats and oils in the
U. S. may be appreciably smaller
than the 1943 record production.

CLARK PRAISES
men, OFFICERS
II. Gen. Calls Fall of Rome
Magnificent Offen-
sive Operation"

Rome, June 7-CUP)-Lt. Gen.
Mark w. Clark issued an order Of
the day to his victorious 5th Army
Forces today, congratulating Off
GERS and men on the magnificent
offensive operation" which resulted
in the fall of Rome.
Clark predicted their victory would
have far-reaching effects on the
general offensive against Germany,
including the invasion launched
across the English channel yester-
day.
THE Germans last ditch defense
from position to position as he re-
tired before Rome shows conclusive
~ that he realized how important
II was for him at this time to pre-
vent the capture Of Rome, the de-
Struction of his forces in italy and
the accomplishment Of a major AL
lied victory" Clark said.
His failure to accomplish these
missions is at once a severe blow
to his prestige in the war and a
loss to his armed forces which he
cannot afford. Your victory augurs
well for the success Of other often
sives which will be hurled against
the Nazis in other parts of his So
called impregnable European Fort
ress."

Long Johns

Many a rookie has been ridiculed
and laughed at the first time he
swallowed his pride and donned
his LONG JOHNS. They are the
winter underwear issued by the
Army, and have the disturbing
effect Of making a G. I. look like
a scarecrow trapeze artist. II
might be added that they Itch
but good! After a soldier finally
gets into his LONG JOHNS, he
invariably swells his chest, fexes
his biceps and struts around the
barracks like John L. Sullivan,
after whom these practical II not
slightly garments have been
named. Regardless Of their looks
they come in mighty handy on
cold, cold nights.
