MIDNIGHT CURFEW:
New York in Line

Having enjoyed an extra hour of
night frolicking for few days, New
York's milling merrymakers found
themselves out on the streets at mid
night again, following the amuse-
ment owners decision not to take
advantage Of Mayor La Guardia s
one hour extension of the govern
ment's IL a. m. curfew, imposed to
conserve fuel and manpower.
First accepting La Guardia's one
hour reprieve in the face of wide
spread criticism, the amusement
owners own hands were forced
when both the army and navy or
dered their personnel to leave the
nighteries at midnight in obedience
to the government regulation.
Before the New Workers decided to
close their doors, War Mobilization
Director Byrnes said it was impos-
sible for the government to enforce
the midnight curfew, since it lacked
the police necessary.

POLIO:
Kenny's Problem

Unable to enlist the support of the
nations medical leaders for her
treatment of infantile paralysis,
Australia's Sister Elizabeth Kenny
announced her decision to leave this
country if congress failed to look
into the difficulties that have beset
her since her arrival here.
Although Sister Kenny's decision
to leave the country came upon the
heels of the National Foundation for
Infanti1e Paralysis refusal of a re-
quest for $804,000 for the Kenny in
stitute in Minneapolis, Mimi, she
said that money was no object, since
the people of the latter city already
had raised 100000 for her work
and undoubtedly could double the
figure.
Rather, she said, her decision to
leave was prompted by the medical
professions failure to provide as
sistance for further research into her
theory of treatment. Without such
research, she declared. her presence
here was no longer necessary since
others have been trained in her pres
ent methods.
''It Is just that ! feel sincerely
that the fight agaist paralysis can
not progress much further unless
research men become sufficiently In
serested to come In and help wage
Tho battle" Sister Kenny said.

gested by some quarters in America.
Some of it was being used to feed
needy Europeans, he said.
Following President Roosevelt's
statement that it was only decent
for Americans to share some Of
their food supplies with hungry
Europeans, and reports that the
arny's share Of meat would be in
creased 4 per cent during the next
three months to help feed people in
the war zones while U. S. civilians
would be slashed IL per cent, it was
announced that the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation admins
tration (UNRRA) would require
about 300 million pounds of food
from this country during April, May
and June.
Food other than meat composes
UNRRA's largest claim on U. S.
stocks, with calls for meat amount
ing to l out Of every $50 pounds of
the nations civilian supply, it was
said. Deliveries of grain, flour and
other cereal products top the list,
with meat and fat and then beans
and peas, milk and sugar in order.
Of UNRRA's total requirements of
1876, 100000 pounds Of food for the
next three months, the U. S. is ex-
pected to furnish AZ per cent, with
Canada supplying 80 per cent and
other United Nations the rest.
In commenting on Britain's food
stocks, Churchill revealed that the
Allies were pushing military opera
tons in Europe to end the war as
quickly as possible and thus prevent
mass starvation on the continent this
winter. AT the same time, the prime
minister said that Britain was draw
ing upon its food stocks to feed lib
Grated peoples.

Overseas Demands

The food situation continued to
occupy the country's attention, with
the conviction growing that Ameri-
cans will have to give their belts a
long pull inward to help feed dis
tressed civilians in liberated coun-
triEs.
But if the food situation took the
spotlight in the U. S., it also aroused
interest in Britain, where Prime

Double Trouble

Thus, while Kesselring had his
hands full trying to hold the Allied
armies off from the open northern
plains, German commanders in the
east experienced equal difficulty
meeting the Russian onslaught over
the other end of the level northern
country in the east. From Stettin
southwark, the Reds menaced the
serried defenses of Berlin while
the Nazis still talked about a last
ditch fight behind concrete pillboxes,
bunkers, tank traps and irrigated
fiat land.
Though massed in the greatest
strength before Berlin, the Reds also
exerted considerable pressure to the
south, seeking to batter their way
through the mountain masses in Up
per Silesia to enter Czechoslovakia.
and smashing at German defenses
in western Hungary in an effort to
reach Austria.
A breakthrough here would serve
the double purpose of eliminating

May Cut Draft Calls

With the services expected to
be built up to full strength by
July, 1945, monthly draft calls
thereafter may be cut from the
present $4,000 to $4,000 to fur
nish requirements, President
Roosevelt revealed.
At the same time, congress
sional committee was told that
although draft calls would be re-
duced after Germany's defeat,
young men will continue to be
indicted during the Japanese
war to replace discharged vets.
Previously, selective service
announced that some 145,000
men from Is to % years of age
in the steel, transportation, min
ing and synthetic rubber indus
try would be deferred as essen

mer policy of exempting only

front in the west, Hitler chose
an ardent Nazi, who gained notice
through his development of strong
defensive lines in Italy. Trusted by
the Nazis to stand fast in the face of
the overwhelming Allied onslaught,
Kesselring succeeded Field Marshal
Won Rundstedt, who was relieved
Of his command following reports
that he had failed to negotiate an
armistice with General Eisenhower.
AS Kesselring took over the Ger
man command, his hard-pressed
forces faced the Canadian LIST, Brit
ish End and U. S. 9th armies on
the western border of the Ruhr,
while the U. S. LIST army built up
strength: for drive to the south of
the vital industrial valley from its
Remagen bridgehead.
Following tremendous concerted
aerial bombardment aimed at soft
ening up the eneny's rear areas,
these four Allied armies stood ready
to strike to the east of the Rhine
and break into the open German
plains on the high road to Berlin.
Farther to the south, the u. S. 3rd
and 7th armies, having cleaned out
the Saar, drew up against the for
ested mountain country to the east
of the Rhine in this sector.

PACIFIC:
Fear Invasion

Making no bones about their fear
OF an invasion Of their homeland, the
Japanese government moved fever
ishly to prepare the country for the
eventually, while at the same time
pushing efforts to organize occupied
China against a thrust from u. S.
forces.
Her predicament underlined by
the U. SIS gradual advance toward
the homeland, and the destructive
aerial raids on her great urban CEN
tiers, Japan's leaders called for the
establishment of virtual martial law
in the country, permitting expropri-
alton Of land and demolition of
buildings for defense purposes.
Though high military authorities
believe that Japan, like Germany,
will not be bombed out Of the war
because Of the decentralization of
her industry, U. S. attacks have
cut into some of the enemy's pro-
ductive capacity, besides causing
serious civilian dislocations. AL
ready, almost half of Tokyo's civil
ian population has been evacuated,
1t was said.
Besides impairing the home
effort, such raids as the recent
carrier plane attacks on the
Japs' great inner naval base in
the Inland sea bounded by the
home islands of Honshu, Kyushu
and Shikoku serve not only to
cripple the enemy fleet but also
damage important repair and
anchorage facilities.
Although the Japs feel that any
direct assault on the homeland
would give them the advantage of
short supply lines and land bases
from which to develop counter meas
ures, they are looking worriedly to
the Chinese coast. where they be-
lieve the u. S. might drive ashore
to set up invasion bases.
Thus, high military authorities pre-
sumo, the enemy will continue to
play for time in such outlying bat
tie zones as the Philippines and
Burma to permit further develop
ment of Chinese resources and
additions to the 100000 Chinese
troops repeatedly fighting for them
so as to be better able to meet an
invasion of that country.

CITY EMPLOYEES:
$4,000, 900 Payroll

The $4,000 employees of the ma
tion's cities and towns draw
monthly payroll Of $122, 900, 900, the
International City Managers associ-
alton reported. Despite the decline
in number of employees, however,
the total payroll has shown steady
advance during the last two years.
Accompanying the general decline
in number Of municipal employees
was a general increase in length of
the regular, or normal work-week for
city hall personnel, though much of
the increase occurred in the smaller
cities.
On the basis of figures received
from 965 cities of 10000 or more
population, employees of four-fifths
of the cities work between SO and
Is hours weekly, as compared to
1943, with three-fourths of the cities
were in this category.
On population basis, IL of the ia
cities of more than 100000 popula-
ton have work-week of less than
~ hours, as do 70 per cent of the
cities in the 250-5O0,0O0 class.
In the smaller cities-those of 10
$4,000 population - however, more
than half work a week in excess of
AZ hours, and all but one of the IL
cities in which employees work so or
more hours are in the smaller group.

CROP ACREAGE:
To Drop

Because Of a decrease in hog
numbers in their own lots, an ex-
pected drop in demand for feed
grains and a switchover to crops
with lower labor requirements.
farmers will put fewer acres to inn
portant grain in 1945, the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture reported.
Basing its report on farmers dec
larations of intentions, the USDA
said that corn acreage would be
down per cent under 1914, barley
IA per cent, and soybeans az per
cent. AS exceptions, wheat acreage
was expected to increase Az per
cent and oats 8 per cent.
In addition, the USDA's reports
on acreages for other crops showed
general decreases from last year.
with increases forecast only for
sugar beets, faxseed, tobacco and
rice.
With the weather generally favor
able, finances ample and seed and
feed plentiful, chief obstacles to 1915
production lie in manpower and ma
chinery shortages, the USDA de-
clared. Indicated acreages in dec
1arations of intentions might
be notably changed through the
year, the USDA said, in accord
ance with influences in weather.
price fluctuations, manpower, f.
nances and the effect of the report
itself on farmers plans.
