Selective Service information on

vice, has been destroyed by the
Selective Service Board which act
ed under instructions from Wash
ingtOn, d. c.
The queStionnaireS filled out by
the men of As to 65 were first
torn to pieces and then approx
mately $50 pounds of paper was
salvaged, Cardboard folders in
which the records were kept will
be cut into small cards, Clerk Lee
wilkins said.
The heavy files of questionnaires
were opened, when the orders came
to destroy the Tiles, and the papers
torn ana placed in cardboard con-
tainerS.
All occupational missionaries
and other papers about the men of
IS to 65 were included in the di-
rectlve, and destroyed.
The local board received orders
to dispose Of the files several weeks
ago, and the instructions were to
first mutilate the papers and then
dispose of them as waste paper.
AS a result the military inform

longer exists, and those who hold
registration cards in the group can
now retain them as souvenirs of

On Local Women For
Saving Used Fats!

Things have really been hap
pening to fat-salvage-collection
figures since town and farm
women got busy on the job! Lat
est official government records
show that their fat savings have
left the excellent record OF city
women way behind.
But it isn't a drop too much.
This year, we face a shortage Of
l billion, 500 million pounds of
fats in domestic supplies. Tons
more of war and home-front sup
plies made from fats are needed!
Farm folks getmore meat these
days than most city people-so
it's up to them to save the fats.
Skim stews, soups, gravies. Scrape
pans. Melt down meat trimmings.

We Day will permit a limited re-

already reflected in permission to
automobile manufacturers to turn
out 200, 600 passenger cars this year,
and the increase in tire rations for
essential motorists by 500, 900 for
May.
Though another 400, 900 car are
scheduled to be produced in the first
quarter Of 1916 with the rate rising
to 1000, OOe annually by 1947, trucks
will be given preference in mani

weight models, officials declared.

FARM MACHINERY:

With production of farm machin-

continue to look forward to tight sup
plies this year, the Federal Re-

Because of increased demand for
military material last winter and
manpower shortages, farm machin-
cry output for 1944-45 dropped Is per
cent behind schedule in the first
quarter of acknowledgements;
% per cent behind in the second,
and about 20 per cent in the third.
Labor shortages principally have
affected production of such neces-
sary parts of equipment as NAL
leable and gray castings, engines,
transmissions and forgings, thus re-
ducing overall output. While some
important manufacturers are up to
schedule, others are far behind.
Citing the great Importance of
farm machinery to record-breaking

Having announced former con-
gresham and budget director Lewis
w. Douglas as his assistant and
diplomat Robert Murphy as head of
the political division of the military
government, General Clay said that
all that is left of Germany's war in
dustry would be destroyed, all traces
of Naziism rooted out and war Grim

At the same time, Allied authori-
ties declared that Grand Adm. Karl
Doenitz's government was a tenn
porary stopgap presently being used
to carry on the disarmament of the
German military and naval forces.
Despite Doenitz's governments

ERE:
Praise for Britain

Although resenting Prime Minis

remaining neutral in the European
conflict when her participation
would have furnished the Allies with
important sea bases, Prime Minis
ter de Valera complimented the
British chieftain for not violating the
TT~- -ountry's neutrality by force
to obtain such advantages.
Declaring that Churchill's re-
straint advanced the cause of inter-
national morality" De Valera said:
1t is indeed fortunate that Brit
aims necessity did not reach the
point when Mr.. Churchill would
have acted. All credit to him that
ne successfully resisted the tempta-
ton"
But if De Valera had praise for
Churchill, he had censure, too. An
sWering Churchill's declaration that
only North Ireland's furnishing of
bases prevented British action
against Fire itself, De Valera re-
GREETED that the Briton had turned
to abusing a people who have done

crisis like the present excuse for

SAVINGS:

Standing at over 122 billion dol

clal strength to tide many people
over any reconversion stress.
Headed up by an increase of 10

those in 1898.
Pointing out hat the subsequent
war years have necessarily dislccat-
ed normal international commerce.
the study finds that the benefits ac-
cruing to American busisess in the
initial period of the trade agreement
program have established the use
f~ulness of this policy for postwar
economic rehabilitation, and that
the continuance Of the program un-
interruptedly during the war years
has been a positive force in binding
friendly nations more closely to us
and assuring such nations of our
continued faith in such cooperation.
Among the American products Of
special interest to Nebraska. which
showed substantial increases in ex-
port sales during the period under
study. are meat and meat ~products;
wheat, and wheat flour.
Typical cases of cause and effect
are cited as follows.
The Canadian duty on meat and
meat products was reduced. and y
merican sales Of these products to
Canada increased from $125417 in
1885 to $3,OS9, 724 in 1898.
The aCnadian duty on wheat was
reduced, and American sales. u this
product to Canada increased from
S13.695 in 1885 to SIS. SOS. PIG in 1898.
The Cuban duty on whea flour
was reduced. and American sales of
this product to Cuba increased from
81, 600 in 1885 to IS, 1888. 900 in
1888.
The benefits reflected in these
these increased sales abroad are
by no means restricted to the man.
! compose these totals" the study
points out. Factories which sold
solely in the domestic market were
directly help by the disposal in for
eign markets Of competitive prod
ucts which otherwise would have
built up surplus production here at
home. The sale in Athens. Cape
town, Havana, or Calcutta of a pro-
duct mad in America represents
just as many mar our Of employ
ment wages as a similar sale in
Middletown, USA. The more we
can induce foreign nations to Tow
er trade barriers against our goods
in the postwar reconstruction per
iod, the broader will be our markets
and the greater will be the returns
to our farm and factory labor.
important as this trade agree
ments program has proved to lie to
Nebraska, the benefits are well dis
tributed throughout all As states.
A study Of our exports 10 Havana
through a single steamship line dur
ing the first min m4on:hs of 1889
showed hat these exports had or
iginated in no less than 80 states.
Hence. the opportunity for a truly
national participation IN postwar
foreign markets will he there if
we continue an enlightened policy
Of cooperation with other nations"
