FARM LABOR:
At Lou

With total farm employment esti-
mated at 8,400,000 persons, farm op-
orators will start the important
spring planting season with the low
est seasonal level Of workers in Il
years, the U. S. department Of agri-
culture reported.
OF the 8,400,000 persons, USDA
reported, 1894, 900 are family MEM
bers, of whom a great number are
women or elder folk. Because of the
presence of the latter, it was said,
total operating efficiency has been
cut somewhat since the advancing
years have impaired the efforts of
many of the older people.
AS the spring planting season ap-
preached, with excessive moisture
retarding work in many sections,
farmers were promised some man.
power relief by the employment of
$4,000 German war prisoners during
the year. Despite the worker short
age, farmers are being asked to
match 1944's record production.

PACIFIC:
Air Lashings

With long range U. S. bombers
based within flying distance of
Japan as a result of the recent con-
quest of outlying islands in bloody
but valuable fighting, the enemy's
great industrial cities have more
and more been feeling the lash of
heavy bombardment.
Carried on even as General Mac
Arthur's forces in the Philippines
frightened their grip on the sprawl
ing archipelago guarding the inner
China sea lane, and as begrimed
marines finished off a stubborn foe
on Two Jima, the BIG raids on such
Jap centers as Tokyo, Nagoya and
Osaka are designed to cut down fac
tory production and impair the flow
of supply to the enemy's armies.
Meanwhile, General MacArthur's
forces moved toward the climactic
battle with the bulk of the enemy
cornered on northeastern Luzon,
and additional American landings
to the south secured the sea pas
sage through the Philippines to
Manila.

scarcity OF meat.
Revelation of the senate commit
tees probe followed demands Of mid
western senators for rectification of
government food policies, which,
they declared, discouraged fatten-
ing of cattle because of failure to
bring prices and feed costs in line
with production, and failed to place
agriculture on par with war in
dustry.
Just before the congressional
storm broke, Byrnes proclaimed the
organization Of a special group to
determine that Europe's demands
for relief and rehabilitation would
not interfere with U. S. civilian
needs, and even to review past
commitments in the same light.
Following Byrnes' action, capital
circles buzzed with talk that the
War Food administration, for one,
had approached him for help in al
locating the shrinking food supply
during 1945, with prospects of from
20 to rs per cent less meat, 10 to is
per cent less vegetable oils and
fats, and 10 per cent less sugar.
Meanwhile. 1t was revealed, lend
lease purchases in recent weeks
have been severely reduced be-
cause of the growing meat shortage.
Although the government has been
receiving larger ALLEGATIONS than for
merlv. il was pointed out. still the
drop in slaughtering has reduced the
volume available over last year, and
practically only military demands
are being satisfied.
AS a result, lend-lease meat tom
mage has been slashed almost 80
per cent in the last two months, with
pork purchases in one week down
about "a per cent from last year,
canned meats SO per cent, and
other products from 80 to 81 per
cent.

YALTA:
Test agreement


First put to the test in Poland,
the Big Three's Yalta agreement to
act Jointly in the settlement Of trou-
bled political affairs of countries
was tabled for second trial in the
case of Romania, where the Rades-
Gu government repeatedly had been
forced out by Moscow and replaced
by communist-dominated regime.
At the time the Radescu govern
fnent left Office, with Radescu HIM
self seeking sanctuary in the British
embassy in Bucharest because of
fear of communist assassination, the
Russians contended that the regime
had failed to take proper action
against pro-fascist elements still
present In the country and threat
ening the Red army's supply lines.
Called at the instance of the U. S.,
the Big Three parley on Romania
could look to its settlement of the
Polish problem as a precedent,
with democratic elements being
brought into a new regime along
with the communists to furnish
more representative pattern of gov

Town Buster Latest Bomb

To Britain's famed "blockbust-
er" and earthquake" bombs has
been added another, the 11-ton
''town BUSTER" developed to
penetrate to the underground fac
tories the Germans established to
avoid surface bombardment.
Carried by Britain's four-en-
gined Lancasters, the ''town
buster" measures 2512 feet In
length and almost four feet In di-
ameter. Upon releasing the heavy
load, the huge planes have
bounced up as high as 500 feet
from relief of the weight.
Packing a tremendous wallop
in itself, the ''town buster"
supplements the six-ton "earth-
quake" bomb, which sank the
German battleship, Tirpitz, and
penetrated 15-foot-thick concrete
roofs of U-boat pens.

HOLLYWOOD STRIKE:
CompIex Scenario

Closure of American movie houses
was threatened as the International
Alliance of Theatrical Stage En-
ployees, AFL, considered exertion
Of pressure on picture producers
in its fight to obtain recognition as
bargaining agent for some 70 studio
set decorators in Hollywood.
In vying for control of the 70
workers, the IATSE bucked another
AFL affiliate, the painters union,
which had been accepted as the en-
ployees' bargaining agent by the
War Labor board.
Standing in the middle of the en-
tanglement were the picture pro-
ducers themselves, what with the
IATSE not only threatening to pull
its workers out of the Hollywood
studios but also to stop the showing
of movies throughout the country,
and the rival painters union already
on strike because of the picture pro-
ducers' hesitancy in recognizing
their group.
With a plot as complex as any
movie scenario, the case went up to
the National Labor Relations board
for settlement.

their armies and troop concentra-
tions massed to meet Allied attacks
in both east and west.
In the east, Russia grouped the
bulk of her manpower for the grand
assault on Berlin, heavily defended
by an extended network of pill
boxes, tank traps and infantry OBJ
stacles, which could be flooded.
AS the Russians built up their
forces beyond the Oder for the
smash on the German capital, other
Red forces were on the move in
both Upper Silesia and Hungary, in
an effort to pry open the roads to
the rich industrial districts Of
Czecholovakia and Austria, feeding
the Nazi wehrmacht.
In the west, German war produc-
tion was seriously threatened as
u. S. and British armies closed on
both the Ruhr and Saar valleys. Not
only was the Ruhr menaced by the
u. S. 9th and British End armies
from the west, but 1t. Gen. Court
ney Hodges U. S. LIST moved up from
its Remagen bridgehead to threaten
it from the south.
The u. S. 3rd and 7th armies also
were applying a wise on the Saar
valley, with the 3rd pressing in from
the north and east, and the 7th
squeezing ahead from the south.
Taking full advantage of their ex-
tensive road system and short
supply lines, the Germans fought
viciously to hold both all-important
regions.
