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.

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.
