Increases Strength in Pacific As Air Naval Forces Blast Japanese; Nazis: No Need to Take Stalingrad -- Washington, D. C. FARM PARITY FIGHT To Roosevelt advisers, the farm parity fight was an ominous runner-u- p of what many of them expect during the next two years IF the November elections turn 60ur for the Democrats. It left people a little worried around the White House. Up until now, the White House has been confident that the house of representatives would remain Democratic despite the warning of Chairman Ed Flynn that the Middle West and probably California would go Republican. So the fight over farm parity was a shock; and administration leaders shrink from the prospect of facing that type of congressional battling for two long years to come. But, if the Republicans organize the house, or even if the Democratic majority is appreciably cut, that is exactly what will happen. Three reasons are given, for the faulty handling which resulted in the terrific farm battle. Sixth Avenue auctioneers explod1.

The quartermaster will fit you anyway. Even if no one of the 238 different sizes of army shoes fits you, instructions to army posts are that every foot shall be fitted, and fitted comfortably. This order is to be obeyed even if it means making a plaster cast of the odd foot and making a special shoe from an individual last. In such cases, the individual last is tagged with the name of the soldier and filed away until he needs another pair of shoes. Such service would cost $25 a pair in private life.

The above photo shows American troops in a "bucket brigade passing supplies ashore from a small boat. SOUTHWEST PACIFIC: Yank Power Grows RUSSIA: The Japs learned a lesson about American air and naval strength in the Pacific when five of their ships including a heavy cruiser were damaged by a U. S. aircraft carrier task force which pierced Nipponese defenses at Shortland island in the north Solomons. In addition, an air field was blasted at Bougainville, main Jap air base, and numerous aircraft destroyed. A navy communique reported that the Japs were caught by surprise and the American operation was carried out without loss of men or equipment. Besides the heavy cruiser, the American battle score against the Jap forces included one transport damaged by heavy bombs, one seaplane tender and two cargo ships damaged by light bombs. In New Guinea, the advance of the tough Australian bush troops continued over the Owen Stanley mountains which the Japs had penetrated weeks before. Although craggy trails had prevented swift movement, the Australians had cleared the enemy before them and had removed the threat of a Jap surge that once had pierced to within 32 miles of strategic Port Moresby. A communique issued by Gen. Douglas MacArthurs headquarters in Australia disclosed that the Allies New Guinea advance had been made "with practically no losft. Information from native carriers who deserted the Jap forces plus reports from our own patrols, indicates the retreating Japs were exhausted, living on short rations and badly needing supplies, the communique reported. Much of the Australian success wa3 said to be due to a constant air attack on Japanese supply lines. Unnoticed at the start, Marshal Timoshenkos counteroffensive, begun far up the northern arm of the Don river in the vicinity of Its had moved forward. object was to draw off German striking power from the Stalingrad area. Timoshenko had struck first, in a area between the Don and Volga northwest of Stalingrad and had extended his forces southwest to the German flank. That Timoshenkos strategy had worked was indicated by a significant statement on the Berlin radio which announced that the Germans would abandon frontal attacks on Stalingrad and destroy what was left of the city with heavy artillery. It is no longer necessary to send German infantry and assault engineers into the battle, the announcement The finishing touches will said. now be entrusted to heavy artillery and dive bombers. Observers noted that the German announcement was reminiscent of propaganda covering the Nazi withdrawal a year ago from Rostov, when the Russians gained their first victory of the war. Southward, in the Caucasus the Nazis had succeeded in advancing in the Mozdok area, while Rumanian reinforcements were reported pushing southward from the German-helBlack sea base of Novorossisk. i FARM GOALS: Boosted for 1943 A nation-wid- e wartime plowup next spring, reminiscent of the days of 1918, loomed as the U. S. department of agriculture drew up tentative production goals calling for even greater acreages and output of most farm products than was requested under the record 1942 production. The goals for all farm crops but three wheat, short staple cotton and commercial vegetables were set higher than for 1942. Corn and other feed grains, beans, peas, peanuts, potatoes, sugar beets, hemp and vegetables for processing were given the green light. So were production goals for cattle, hogs, dairy products, poultry and eggs. With less manpower, machinery and other facilities to operate with, farmers had their work cut out for them. Moreover, the needs of the armed forces and the Allies, particularly Russia, were said to be much greater than had been expected a few weeks before. If 1943 farm goals are not reached, civilian consumers will have to tighten their belts. Consumer rationing was to be inaugurated January 1, but civilians had already been asked to limit meat consumption to 2 pounds weekly. A possibility remained that sooner or later, butter, cheese, cooking fats, vegetable oils, eggs, poultry and canned fruits and vegetables would be placed in the same category as meat Stalingrad Checkmate Klet-skay- a, le Sift spices with flour so they will be distributed properly throughout the batter or dough.

Bushy-browe- d UMW Chief John L. Lewis kept his own counsel, but chose a dramatic moment for the divorce The occasion was the miners annual convention at Cincinnati. Brusquely warning the delegates that he would no longer remain the unions president if it remained in the CIO, Lewis obtained unanimous consent to withdraw. A committee report urging the separation charged the CIO with failure to pay $1,650,000 debt to the UMW and denounced alleged attacks by CIO officers on Lewis. The convention action merely gave public recognition to a situa tion that had existed for months. Lewis and Philip Murray, CIO presi dent, were feuding after a friendship of years standing. Murray, a former miner and vice president of UMW, had been read out of the union, last spring.

Worth tryingl 210 Million Daily LABOR: By JERRY LINK d WAR COSTS: War eosts will exceed 210 million dollars a day by January 1, 1943, according to figures based on revised calculations by Budget Director Harold Smith. Mr. Smiths estimates placed total war spending at 78 billion dollars in the current fiscal year which will end June 30, 1943. The budget directors upward es timate was about 25 billions more than President Roosevelts figures last January and eight billions more than a previous calculation by Smith. Increased expenditures for all war purposes would make it necessary for the treasury to borrow approximately $60,300,000,000 from the pub lie during the current fiscal year. J.

Like Bridges, President Hopkins has been a militant supporter of Roosevelts foreign Germanys influence in the Scandinavian countries had been weakening. This was evident when a general election in Sweden had returned a record number of Communist, delegates to the national assembly. It was evident, too, in frequent peace feelers from Finland. Thus when rioting and disorders broke out against the Axis overlords in Norway and Denmark, few observers were surprised. Swift was the Nazi action in countering with force the Scandinavian threat. The Germans proclaimed a state of emergency in central Norway from the seaport of Trondheim to the Swedish border. Reprisal executions followed. Reports from Copenhagen said tension had mounted to fever heat because of clashes resulting from the overbearing and provocative attitude of the volunteer Fre Corps. The Nazi radio gave official confirmation of Scandinavian unrest by announcing that the Norwegian emergency was proclaimed because of recent sabotage attempts which if they had succeeded would have endangered Norways supply system. anti-Na- Art-love- rs pep-tal- For extra flavor in dark fruit cakes use cider or spiced fruit juices for the liquid. SCANDINAVIA: Headache for Nazis well-behav- back-stag- As mysteriously as they first appeared, Japanese forces disappeared from the two westernmost Aleutian islands, a navy communique revealed. The two islands abandoned were Attu and Agattu, lying close together nearly 200 miles from Kiska. Heavy bombing by American aircraft which destroyed most of the Japanese buildings on the two islands was cited as a reason for the withdrawal. The Japs still held a foothold on Kiska island, but Yankee flyers made their tenure precarious. Army heavy bombers operating from the newly acquired American bases in the Andreanof islands in the Aleutians d blasted positions on Kiska in repeated raids. The islands of Attu and Agattu were originally seized by the Japs shortly after the Aleutian campaign opened last June. ROBERT P.

In the days to come Hitler will redouble his efforts to divide the nations now united against him. In this task he will make use of the rumor mongers arAong us. His agents will spread stories in the United States and Canada that will reflect on Britain. In Britain, his agents will spread the story that Americans are not doing their part in fighting, but are interested only in making money out of the war. And he will try to alienate us from Russia. Mr. Patterson said that production of armaments for the Allied nations will cut deeper and deeper into production of civilian goods and require suspension of many peacetime standards of hours and working conditions. SNUB VICHY: y Urges Ex-Envo- Even as Pierre Laval imposed a labor draft to speed the delivery of 150,000 French workers for German war factories, Walter Edge, former American ambassador to France, urged withdrawal of U. S. recognition of the Vichy government. Such action, he said, would solidify 95 per cent of the French people behind the United Nations. Emphasizing that he was speaking as a private citizen, Edge said it was unfortunate that the government seems to feel it necessary to continue recognition of the Vichy . regime. There may be many things that warrant continued recognition that I know nothing about, he declared, but only a small percentage of the French people are in sympathy with the Vichy government. It must be discouraging to the majority to see their overlords recognized by this country.
