Show SOUTH CACHE COURIER WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Nazis Gain Ground in Norway As Allied Fleet Watches Italy; Balkan States Are Still Uneasy (EDITORS NOTE When opinions are in these columns, they are those of the news analyst and notexpressed necessarily of this newspaper.) Released by Western Newspaper Union THE WAR: Shifting Scenes Major stagehands in the theater of World War II are busy changing scenes for the next act in the current military drama. While the allies were admittedly doing a fade-oin southern Norway, attention was centered on the Mediterranean area where the French-Angl- o fleet was concentrating. Two important reasons for this "shift in allied tactics seemed evident: (1) Britain and France fig ure on a swift German thrust into the Balkan countries and (2) to sthe allies the Italian question mark is looming larger than ever. While Prime Minister Chamber-lai- n was telling the house of commons that British forces were being removed from their central Norwegian base at Andalsnes, Germany was claiming that the allies were in headlong flight in that area. German gains in central and southern Norway have been strength- - POLITICS: Came the Spring Month of blossoms and green grass, May, this year is watching leaders of both major political parties scamper to the grass roots to pluck choice blossoms in the form of convention delegates. There was plenty of weeding to do in the garden of presidential candidates, however, and while President Roosevelt could claim the greatest share of instructed Democratic delegates and Thomas Dewey was leading the Republican fold in that regard, May is definitely regarded as a vital month. Republicans will choose 477 of their 1,000 delegates this month, almost completing their total. Democrats, who have already chosen 374, of their 1,094, will select about 400 more in May. With Roosevelt already having 305 pledged and d delegates tucked away in his fold he looked like an odds-o- n favorite to enter the convention with a nice majority for himself or for his own favorite-so- n whoever that might be. While many of the lesser buds continued to hide their shy little heads at least one more Democrat blossomed out with the statement that he would make the race if the President didnt. And whats more, said he none other than Burton K. I Wheeler, senator from Montana cant conceive of him (Roosevelt) being a candidate. Republicans meanwhile gathered in Washington to do a little spading and cultivating with their convention and campaign problems. Keynoter Harold Stassen of Minnesota held conferences with the designated choice for permanent chairman of the convention, Rep. Joe Martin of Massachusetts. He also contacted other party leaders as the partys platform began to take shape.

A long campaign is apparent and allied leaders are now attempting to cut off German supplies and troops from the homeland by intensifying attacks upon shipping and ut semi-pledge- air bases. Since the British sea blockade of Germanys coal shipments to Italy, Nazi officials have been transferring supplies of this important commodity by railroad, through' historic Brenner pass. (See cut).

Transportation Railroad companies have put into effect a plan whereby travelers in at least 30 states can rent automobiles for use in a community after having made their long trip by rail. Reservations are made at the time the train ticket is purchased and cars are ready when the traveler arrives. An association will cooperate with railroads in providing the cars and uniform national rates have been set up. Car Help Wanted While Federal Security AdminiPaul McNutt was reporting that private industry was hiring about 18 per cent more persons last month than a year ago, another federal official, WPA Commissioner Harrington, was urging private employers to hire additional workers being released from WPA projects. Harrington stated that about 1,250,-00- 0 workers had left WPA in the past 12 months to take jobs in industry and on the nations farms. Many of these, however, usually find it necessary to return to WPA after a few months of work. strator the to the Housewifi e HOUSE Design er of ...
