PAGE SiX /iiiili i I I I WEEKLY I'EWS ANALYSIS Nazis Tighten Lines on Russian Front To Strengthen West Against Invasion; Hull Appeals for Unity on Peace Aims; Jap Forces Peril Indian Supply Bases (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In those columns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) Released by Western Newspaper Union• Burma--Lull in fighting on Burma front finds U. S. Major Graham ;Bat©helor of Milledgeville, Ga., dining with Chinese troops, chopsticks, rice-bowl and all. PACIFIC: On Run, on Go On the run in the Pacific, Jap forces remained on the go in India, thrusting forward toward the Assam-Bengal railroad supplying Lieut. Gem Joseph Stilwelrs U. S.- CMnese troops in northern Burma. With U. S. forces closing in from the west, the Japs abandoned the northern and southern coasts of l~ew Britain and fell back toward Gen. 8tilwell and Adm. Mountbatten the once busy enemy base of Rabaul on the northeastern tip of the island for a last ditch stand. At the same time, U. S. naval fliers continued to bombard the Japs' outposts in the Carolines. As the Japs pressed on the Assam- Bengal railway in India, they sev. ered the network of highways feed- ing Adm. Louis Mountbatten's Brit- ish and Indian troops in the battle zone, forcing their supply by air in the mountainous jungle area. DRAFT: Take Younger Men Delay ranging from a few days to 90 days in the induction of men over 26 was forecast as the result of or- ders to local boards to postpone the drafting of registrants in this age group and rush the processing of those under 26, to meet the services' demands for younger men. Following exhaustion of the pool Of men under 26, those from 26 to 29, and 30 and over will be next in the order of induction, with fathers granted special consideration in all eases where other factors, such as employment in essential occupation, are equal. Meanwhile, congress studied proposals to push 1,000,000 4d~$ into war work, by formation of compulsory labor battalions when ~s refuse to accept necessary jobs. The navy needs 400,000 men by September 1 to reach its goal of $,800,000, and it will require 50,000 to 75,000 monthly after that to main- ta~ll strength. Its objective of '/,700,000 men already attained, the army needs from 75,000 to 100,000 men monthly for replacements. SUPREME COURT: Labor Decisions In three far reaching decisions af- fecting labor, the Supreme court ruled: 1. That under the National Labor Relations act, an employer must deal with a union designated as a collec. tlve bargaining agent, and not with individual members of the union who have not formally renounced it. 2, That the National Labor Rela- Lions board can order an employer to bargain collectively with a union that has lost a majority of its mem- bership during negotiations. 3. That under the 13th amendment and the anti.peonage act, no man could be held for criminal action if he failed to fulfill his promise of go- Ing to work after receiving money. The court declared that the com- plainant should have other legal re- course in such cases. MISCELLANY: , ] MEAT: Number of cattle ann hogs slaughtered in federally inspected plants reached an all time high for the month of March. QUEEN BEE: A London radio en- gineer has devised an electronic ap- paratus to identify a queen bee from among 50,000 ordinary bees. It is only necessary that the queen be daubed with a speck of radio-active material EUROPE: Straighten Lines Thousands of U. S. and British bombers thundered over Belgium and France to pound rail and canal routes serving the channel coast as the zero hour for the invasion neared, while the harassed enemy straightened his lines in the east for a last ditch defense of the Balkans. Big formations of the AAF and RAF joined in bombarding the Ger- mans' corr/munications lines in Bel- gium and France in an effort to im- pair their usefulness for shifting Nazi armies to the different sectors where the Allies may land invasion forces. Factories turning out war weapons for the enemy's military machine also were blasted as swarms of Nazi fighter planes rose to challenge the attackers. Taking up their positions along- side of Rur0anian soldiers now fight- ing on their own soil, the Germans surrendered their last foothold in the Russian Ukraine, while farther to the southeast, Red troops threat- ened Nazi lines in the Crimea, the huge chunk of land jutting into the Black sea and guarding the water route to the eastern Balkans. Nazi Aim Defensive action aimed at a nego- tiated peace is in back of the heads of the German leadership, compe- tent military authorities agree, as the Nazis shorten their lines in Rus- sia and build up strength in the west against an invasion. By pulling in their lines in Russia and mobilizing Rumania, Hungary and the Baltic states, the Germans can defend their new positions with less men/ while still offering, stiff resistance to the Reds. Behind the extensive concrete and steel fortifications in the west, the Germans are estimated to have 750,000 troops in France and the low countries and 450,000 in the Balkans. In addition, the Nazis are said to have another 750,000 troops in reserve for quick dispatch to threatened areas. Planning economical use of these troops behind tough defensive bar. riers, with the advantage of short communicatio0s lines, the Germans hope to wear down Allied resistance and receive moderate peace terms. FOREIGN POLICY: Hull Explains Because Russia's annexation of parts of Finland, Rumania and Po- land and all of the Baltic states might be essential to pre- vent future aggres. sion and establish world security, such action would not be contrary to. ~e ob- jectives of the At- lantic Charter, Sec- retary of State Cor. dell Hull declared. In explaining the Cerdell HoD significance of the Atlantic Charter, Hull said: "It (the charter) is not a code of law from which detailed answers to every question can be distilled by painstak- ing analysis of its words and phrases. It points the direction in which solutions are to be sought.. , What is fundamental is the objec. tives of the charter . . ." Unity among the U. S., Britain, Russia and China is the key to fu- ture world peace, Hull said, and dis- sension among these powers can only wreck postwar stability. POPULATION The south and west sections oi the country have gained more than 2½ million people as a result of wartime movements of military and civilian personnel. Meanwhile. the north central and northeastern states lost 450,000, Natural increase dur- ing these two years added 2,101,225 bringing the estimated total to 133,- 770,500. The census bureau also re. ported that of 29 states gaining pop- ulation, Virginia, Florida, Arizona, Nevada and California went I0 per cent or more. ¢ TH~ GO~DE,~T VALLEY r¢~.~"~ AGRICULTURE: Wheat Prospects With an indicated yield of 12.8 bushels per acre, the U. S. depart ment of agriculture predicted a 1944 winter wheat crop of 601,759,000 bushels, 72.153,000 more than las* year's production. Western Kansas and the adjoining wheat sections of Texas. Oklahoma, New Mexico and Colorado benefited most from recent rain, the precipita. (ion offsetting a moisture deficiency of last fall. Nebraska, however, still was reported in need of rainfall to perk weakened plants. Frequent rains or snows gave the crop producing areas of the country the wettest March since 1922, the department said, delaying farm work in nearly all states. Farm Values Up Average prices of farm land in the U. S. were pushed up 15 per cent in the year ending March 1, the department of agriculture reports, with values now 38 per cent above the 1935-39 figures and sales of land are more numerous than during 1919. Much of the acreage is going into "active-farmer ownership" it was stated. More than half the sales were for cash. Some buyers resold for a quick profit, but the majority of purchas- ers are seeking additional land for planting. Compared with the 1935-39 averages, values have increased al- most three-fifths in the East-South- Central states and more than two- fifths in the South Atlantic, Moun. tain and Pacific states. POLITICS : Dewey Boomed Growing strength of Gov Thomas E. Dewey, N. Y., as the favorite for the Republican presidential nomina- tion in June, and the strong showing made by Gen. Douglas MacArthur for the position in the Illinois GOP primary, highlight political talk. Of equal interest, however, is President Roosevelt's continued pop- ularity in the Democratic party, re- flected in his capture of the Wiscon- sin convention delegates, and his heavy vote in the Nebraska prefer- ential primaries. Governor Dewey's candidacy boomed sky-high in the Wisconsin primaries, when 18 convention dele- gates pledged to him won handily over the field. In the Nebraska pri- maries, approximately 15,000 voters expressed their favoritism for him by writing in his name on the ballot. Running strongly in the rural dis- tricts, General MacArthur polled over 450,000 votes in the Illinois pri- maries. MEXICO : President Saved As Mexico's President Manuel Avila Camacho stepped from his automobile in the courtyard of the ex- ecutive offices in Mexico City, a 30- year-old army lieu- tenant strode toward him. As the two men approached each other, the lieutenant suddenly whipped out a revolver and fired point-blank at the president, but President the bullet merely Camacho ripped through the coat and vest of the president with- out wounding him. Quickly overpowered by Camacho himself, the lieutenant was taken into custody, where he complained of a recent law prohibiting Mexican army o~cers from attending church in uniform. Later in trying to es- cape from guards, the assailant was felled with gunfire. As the news of the attemyted as- sassination stirred the emotional Mexican populace, Camacho calmly warned against turbulence, declar- ing: "I wish you to see this as an incident possibly caused by a sole individual or at .the most a small group . . . Under no circumstances must we divide the Mexican nation. We must continue our effort for the conservation of its unity." RUM: Admit Old Stocks Because restrictions against irn- portation into the U. S. would not help to divert alcohol to the syn. thetlc rubber or other war indus. tries, the War Production board lift. ed all hens against the shipment of rum three years old or older into the ©ountry. As a result, it is expected that 2.000,000 gallons of the rum will be imported from Cuba, Mexico, Ja. maica and other foreign countries. Heavy rum producing areas like Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands will not be affected, however, since the U, S. regulates the production of beverage cane spirits in its terri- tories and possessions. Since the rum affected by the new order was manufactured before the present emphasis on volume sales and lighter grades, it is of high qual- ity, the WPB said. CIVILIAN GOODS To prevent a drain on manpower in war industrial centers, the War Production board froze production of civilian goods at the level of the last three months in 183 labor shortage areas throughout the country. Reflecting the changing needs of warfare, the WPB also raised pro. duction of heavy artillery, munitions and gun carriages to top priority. One effect of the order freezing production of civilian goods is ex- pected to be the reduction in output of electric Irons. Thursday, April 20, 1944 It Won¢t Be Long Now and Advertising Pays!
