Released by Western Newspaper Union. !::!:!::;!::!~ 3! England--war and peace provide striking contrast in this English pas- lure, where sheep stray amid U. S. air corps supply depot set'in open field. PACIFIC : Pincer Closes Giving the harassed Japs no rest, U. S. forces shifted the impetus of their Southwest Pacific attack back to New Britain, increasing the men- ace of the once important air and naval base of Rabaul, feeder point for enemy units throughout the re- gion. With new Yankee landings on the northern coast of New Britain and eastward advances by other dough- boys operating from Arawe on the southern shores, General MacArthur was slowly closing his pincer on Rabaul, although rugged jungle still rose before U. S. forces meeting gtubborn opposition from the en- trenched enemy. While General MacArthur in- creased his pressure on the Japs in New Britain, other U. S. forces tightened their grip on the Admiral- ty Islands along the supply route to Rabaul. In mid-Pacific, Admiral Chester Nimitz' naval airmen con- i,:nued to pound Jap defense instal- lations in the Caroline Islands, site !of the enemy's Pearl Harbor of iTruk. CONGRESSi i Cut Appropriations In an economical mood, the house appropriations committee sliced 91 * :million dollars off federal agencies' requests for additional funds to car- ry on operations for the year ending June 30, but it did approve a total of 5{)0 million dollars. Biggest reduction of 22½ million dollars was made in the Federal Works agency's plea for 150 million dollars for community facilities, and of the sum finally voted, only 4 per cent was allowed for administration expenses, More than 17 million dol- lars was lopped off National Housing administration's request for 25 mil. lion dollars for wa¢ housing. The Commodity Credit corporation's bid ifor 39½ million dollars for restoring itts capital was turned d6wn, com- !mitteemen pointing to its 25 million dollar balance as of December 31 and authority to borrow. Only the Veterans administration fared well, 30 million dollars being : appropriated for constructiop of hos- pital facilities, following Brig. Gem. Frank Hines' statement that by 1975 :a peak load of 300,000 beds would ,be fil.l.ed, 207,000 by vets of this war and 91,400 from other wars. RUSSIA: :Finns Dicker While Russian General Merets- kov's armies drove against the Ger- marts' Estonian and Latvian defenses, ~~~ Finland bargained .... with Moscow for [~~ more agreeable I peace terms, Includ- ing retention of all the territory won during the present war and right of the Nazis to withdraw their troops from the country. Gem Meretskov Crossing the Nar- va river, 'the Russ penetrated into Estonia, while farther south, Red armies were converging on the im- portant railroad and highway center of Pskov, gateway to Latvia. Almost 600 miles to the south, the Russians drove into the flank of the Germans' long front to the rear of Red forces in old Poland, again seeking to whittle down the Nazis' position to prevent them from using it as a springboard for possible at- tack. ACCIDENT: A freak railroad acci- dent took the lives of 500 Italians, who were illegally riding on a freight train, trying to get home from north to south Italy. The refugees died of carbon monoxide poisoning from ~the locomotive's smoke, when the train stalled on a tunnel grade. HOSPITALS: There are 14 per cent more patients In American hos. ~w)h,n In I~0. VETS BONUS : Ask $4,500 To make up the differences be- tween war workers' and service- men's wages, five veterans organiza- tions called on congress to pass bo- nus legislation now, awarding mili- tary personnel $4 a day for over- seas grid $3 a day for home duty. Maximum payments under the plan would total $4,500 for overseas and $3,500 for home duty, with all compensation above $300 being in tax-free, non-salable government bonds, bearing a flat 3 per cent in- forest for the first five years and compounded 3 per cent interest for the next five years. No sooner had the Veterans of For- eign Wars, the Army and Navy Un- ion, Disahled American Veterans, Military Order of the Purple Heart and Regular Veterans' association pressed for the bonus than seven congressmen scrambled to introduce legislation embodying their propos- als. EUROPE: Clearing Path Mighty Allied aerial armadas roared over Europe, striking hard to cripple Nazi industry and soften the invasion path, while fighting flared on the muddy Italian front. Drubbed by 26,880 tons of bombs dropped by the RAF, Berlin felt the full weight of hundreds of U. S. Flying Forts and Liberators in rec- ord daylight raids, which left the German capital smouldering. The American forays were not made without cost, however, scores of bombers being shot down by waves of Nazi fighter planes rising to the attack from the coast inland, and thick walls of anti-aircraft fire in the target areas. Clinging stubbornly to their Anzio beachhead, U. S. and British troops continued to ward off persistent Ger- man thrusts at their lines, while near Cassino to the southeast, Al- lied forces took up the assault against the enemy's mountain bas- tions in heavy mud. S S * Latest domestic to enter the 1944 race for President is Mrs. Nora E. Gover, 53, of Los Angeles, Calif. A woman of ac- complishment who built the two- room house she lives in, Mrs. Go- ver will campaign for $30 monthly payments to everybody from birth to death, and no taxes. WAR ECONOMY: TrumanCommitteeReports Letting the chips fall where they may, Senator Harry Truman's in- vestigating committee praised America's war production effort, asked that greater leeway be given to manufacturing c~vilian goods and criticized loose disposition of surplus war material. Since 1941, the committee report- ed, the U. S. produced arms and equipment for 10,000,000 men; 153,- 061 airplanes; 746 warships; 20,~50,. 000 tons of Liberty ships; 1,567,940 military trucks, and 23,867 landing craft. To speed civilian production, the committee urged: 1. Permit use of metals not needed for the war; 2. Allow manufacture outside of man- power shortage areas, and 3. Let factories without war work operate. Citing the army's sale of $1,721,136 worth of new machine tools for junk for $36,924 in Detroit recently, the committee called for creation of a special U. S. agency to handle din. posal of surplus material. PIPE LINE The proposed pipeline across Ara- bia, to be constructed wth federal funds to provide the American and Allied armies with petroleum in the Mediterranean area. would create many international complications, spokesmen for the American oil in- dustry charge. According to a re- port by the Petroleum Industry war council, the plan to run the 1,000- mile pipeline"through three foreign nations" was "an invitation to in. temational Incidents rife with the germs of another war." GREAT BRITAIN: Coal Strikes Far, far across the ~ca. Greal Britain came in for its share of c a, strikes, too, when 12.000 Monmouth- sire miners walked out and and a~,. other 2.500 in Durham slowed pr,, duction over dissatisfaction wi!i: piece-work rates. Ruffled by the Durham ~lc,,vdcwr: which has cut c0al output from 15. 0C~} to 5,000 tons weekl:: the gov- ernment threatened to replace the miners and put tt~em to work i~ other pits. Piece-workers balked when no ad- justment was made in their ra~c~ after other miners were granted new minimum wa~es of $20, $3.25 over the old level. Piece-workers c~aimed they could only raise their minimum by 50 or 75 cents under exisling rates, not makin~ it worthwhile fo~ them to try harder. CANADA : Price Control Tussling against wartime inflation trends, Canada spent over 115 mil- lion dollars from December, 1941, to December, 1943, for subsidies to keep down import and domestic prices. Higher labor co~ts, expanded farm income, expensive substitutes and transportation charges are among the factors tending to rub against price ceilings. Although the supply situation promises to brighten, there are growing shortages of children's clothing and footwear. The hlmber and pulpwood industry continue to suffer from pressing manpower scarcities. $40,000 Bull ::ii~- ...:.:: ::: ::!:!! ~:i =~ =::X ::~:~4:~:~:~Ji:i~:i: :i:~:i::~:~i:i~:...)::: ::: Mrs. William E. Barton of Chi- cago holds reins on Prince Eric of Sunbeam, grand champion bull of the National Aberdeen-Angus show, bought at $40,000 for breed- ing at an auction at Chicago's stockyards by Ralph L. Smith, Kansas City, Mo. Runners-up to Prince Eric were Erian B. VII, which sold for $30,- 000, and Prince Quality also of Sunbeam, which was bought for $10,800. HOGS: Prices Up Because snowstorms im peded shipments and prospering farmers were in better position to hold hogs, 20 major pig markets recently re- ceived lowest receipts in six months, while prices rose to the highest peak in four months. At the Chicago yards, nearly all classes of hogs shared in the price upswing, the average rising to $13.85, with. 200 to 259 pound stock netting $14.10, and good 270 to 350 pound butchers bringing $13.95. Even some of the lightest hogs went up .50. In the cattle market, demand in- creased for butcher stock, such as beef cows, canners and cutters, with prices strong to .25 higher. The scant supplies of sheep and lambs went quickly, with the best cashing at $16.35, and old ewes bringing up to $9. FARM CO-OPS: Must Report F~nances Approximately 300,000 non-profit organizations like labor unions and farm co-operatives must file finan- cial reports with the U. S. treasury for the first time under the new tax law. Bitterly opposed by the groups in- volved, financial reports were made mandatory by congress acting after complaints of many private compa- nies that some of the non-profit or- ganizations were in competition with them. Reports also could enable congress to look into disposition of labor union funds. Although the treasury has yet to draw specific regulations governing the reports, the law calls for spe- cific statements of gross income, re- ceipts and disbursements, and other information that may be deemed necessary. Organization officers will be charged with supplying all of the data. WAR DEATHS During 1943 American life insur- ance companies paid out nearly 42 million dollars in death benefits un- der 31,600 civilian policies owned by members of the army, navy and merchant marines. About 14,000 men had been killed in action. Payments on claims of service- men accounted for about 4 per cent of all death claims for the year. The 1943 settlements bring the aggre- gate sum since the start of the war to close to 60 million dollars paid out on 43,~00 policies. ~= .....................
