KEY ECONOMIST 01 T Handsome, platinum - haired F.C Stettinius, acting secictaiy of state, telephoned "Assistant President" Jimmy Byrnes, asked that he call a meeting of the War Mobilization cabinet to consider cancellation of war contracts where foreign countries coun-tries are involved. Already various war contracts are being cancelled, and some of the cancellations, especially espe-cially those involving the purchase of metals, mean breaking commitments commit-ments to foreign governments. Byrnes agreed, called the meeting. meet-ing. On the morning set Stettinius phoned again. "We've got to call off the War Mobilization cabinet meeting," he said. "Why?" asked the puzzled Byrnes. "Feis has resigned." replied Stettinius. Stet-tinius. "He's the expert on foreign war contracts." He was referring to Herbert Feis, economic adviser to the secretary of state. "Well, can't you come to the meeting meet-ing and present your views to the ; cabinet?" suggested Byrnes. "No," replied Stettinius, "Feis is 1 the only man who knows anything about the subject." The special cabinet session was postponed. Note: Herbert Feis, related by marriage to the late President Gar- Jeld. is a distinguished liberal econ-mlst econ-mlst appointed by Secretary of .State Stimson under Hoover. His resignation was banded to Hull shortly after the resignation of Sumner Sum-ner Welles, at which time Hull be-. be-. gan to sweep out liberals. When ' newspapers revealed this clean-out, I Hull held up acceptance of Feis' resignation, left word that it be an-' an-' nounccd while he was in Moscow.

Officials recognize that something attractive must be done to increase whent nlantlnes.- As it looks now. nlnntines are eolne to fall below the over y,;, year. This year farmers had the 85-per-cent-of-parity loan, which acted ts support the price, plus both parity payments and conservation payments. pay-ments. But congress has knocked out parity payments for next year, leaving a margin of uncertainty as to whether wheat will bring as much as flax or grain sorghums, or some other crop. Planting Is now well along in the winter wheat belt, but it is reported to be a slack planting. Never has there been so much demand by farmers to know what the price is going to be. And the official answer an-swer Is still withheld. And when the announcement is made. It will be a loan figure of 90 per cent of parity, whereas farmers would like to have 100 per cent, to make up for the loss of parity payments. pay-ments. All this confusion comes at a time when there is a greater demand for wheat than this country has ever known. In addition to Uie tremendous tremen-dous demand for wheat for flour, 450 million bushels haye been used for animal feed in the past 12 months, and still more will be needed for the same purpose in the next year. And beyond that, the government has pledged another 50 million bushels bush-els for foreign relief. All this explains why the gates are being opened again to imports of wheat and barley from Argentina, Argen-tina, for the first time in quantity aince the drouth years. a a ' a CAPITAL CHAFF C Wendell Winkle In his closed door session with GOP congressmen described de-scribed ' StatiK- it va -Wmatfl te man, who doesn't go te for glamour, but who keeps his word aad expects others to do the same."

Complicating the Fifth army's task to break through, was steady rain, which muddied the country. A succession of German counterattacks counterat-tacks were designed to disturb U. S. and British groupings for concentrated concen-trated assaults against Nazi posts.

AGRICULTURE: Less Cotton On the basis of conditions prevailing prevail-ing November 1, the department of agriculture estimated a 1943 cotton crop of 11.442,000 bales of 500 pounds each, compared with 12,824.000 bales last year, and a 10-year average aver-age of 12,474.000 bales. Yield per acre was set at 253.4 pounds of lint cotton. The average last year was 272.5 pounds, and for 10 years, 217.0 pounds. For Texas the 1943 crop was esti- ' mated at 2.825.000 bales; Mississippi.

The remainder will be used for lubricants, printing inks, leather and textile processing. II I G II LIGHTS PEACE SCARE: Stocks, bonds and commodities broke on rumors of peace with Germany. Shares on the New York market fell from one to ten points before rallying. Low grade bonds dropped sharply. Wheal went down two cents a bushel, wool two to three cents, cotton $1 35 a bale. Two billion dollars of "paper valuation" were lost in the sharp decline. SOUTHWEST PACIFIC: Focal Point Two years ago Johnny Doughboy never heard of Rabaul. Today, this great port on New Britain island is the focal point of the U. ,S. drive in the Southwest Pacific,' with hundreds of bombers soaring over it to dump tons of explosives ex-plosives on the ships lying in its waters and the planes parked on its many airdromes. With Rabaul lost, the Japs might as wojl pull up their stakes in the area to the northeast of Australia. Today, not only does it block any general move the U. S. might make northward to the Philippines and Japan, but it also acts as feeder point for barges supplying New Guinea and the Solomons. Using such barges which can carry car-ry from 35 to 150 troops, the Japs reinforced their embattled forces on Btrcrg'ainville island, theirlast stronghold strong-hold In the Solomons from which U. S. Doughboys fought to expel them. HITLER: 'Fight to Finish Declaring that "the last battle will bring the decisioru and it will be won by the people with the greatest persistency," Adolf Hitler broadcast to the world Germany's resolution never to give iD at the 11th hour. But speaking in London one day later. lat-er.

Lewis' success in obtaining obtain-ing a daily wage increase of $1 5f for his United Mine Workers seem ingly has shaken other labor leaders from their reluctant compliance with the administration's "Little Steel Formula" for holding pay boosts to within 15 per cent of 1941 levels. Representing 900.000 members, the executive committee of the CIO'i United Steel Workers decided to demand de-mand higher wages, with1 the ex act extent yet to be determined. II was hi awarding the steel workers a raise of 44 cents daily two years ago. that the War Labor board developed de-veloped its hotly contested wage formula. for-mula. While the steel workers made their move, spokesmen for 1,100,000 non-operating railroad union employees em-ployees rejected the government's offer of graduated pay increase ranging from 10 cents an hour foi all wages less than 47 cents an hour, to 4 cents an hour for wages of 97 cents and over per hour. Oppose Workers Draft Solution of manpower shortages in j different areas through co-operative j efforts of labor-management-agricul- ture committees instead of draft ' legislation, was recommended by I union, business and farm leaders j in a special report to War Manpower Man-power Commissioner Paul V. Mc- j Nutt. j To get community programs op- i erating, it was recommended: 1. There be surveys of manpower sup- j plies; 2. Determination of local urgency ur-gency for products and services; 3. Surveys of needs of employers; 4. Conirol'ed flow of available man- power to shortage areas. The report stated that large numbers num-bers of workers have yet to be transferred trans-ferred to essential industry. Longer working hours in some instances, and increased recruitment of women wom-en workers, also were suggested. a a a Intent on flying, Emil Guse and John Gander were sworn into the j army air corps at Hamilton, Mont. a a RUSSIA: Near Europe On the northern front, Russian troops stood within 20 miles of the old Polish border, while it was reported re-ported that the Germans were mobilizing mo-bilizing all able-bodied men in Estonia and Latvia to help in a last ditch fight for these states commanding command-ing the Baltic sea route. To the west of fallen Kiev, the Reds moved on the last railroad linking German armies in the north with those to the south. On the southern front, German forces still held their ground at Kri-voi Kri-voi Rog and Nikopol, guarding their general retreat from the big Dnieper river bulge. Near the mouth of the Dnieper on the Black sea; the Reds were only about 100 miles from Rumania. Some 75,000 Nazi troops holding the strategic Crimea peninsula which guards the Black sea routes, tried to reduce Russian concentrations concentra-tions on its eastern shore. CIVILIAN GOODS: More Forks, Spoons To extend the life of flatware, the War Production board has authorized author-ized the release of small quantities of nickel for plating under silver and chrome knives, forks and spoons. At the same time, WPB allowed purchase pur-chase of alloy steel from distressed stocks for use in manufacturing restaurant and institutional flatware. To bolster dwindling stocks of infants' in-fants' and children's hosiery and underwear, un-derwear, the WPB granted priorities priori-ties on necessary yarns for production produc-tion of such goods.

S. Holdings Abroad Form TFR-500 Supplies Valuable Information Informa-tion Concerning American Stake in Foreign For-eign Lands, Aids Reconstruction. WNU Service, Union Trust Building, Washington, D. C. When Paratrooper Jones landed "plop" In the midst of a field he had never beard of In a country he had only read about in books, he was able to lead his comrades direct to certain building whose purpose. Importance, construction and contents, con-tents, almost down to the last nut and bolt, were all known In detail by the American high command. Paratrooper Jones knew just where to get to the point he wanted to leave his dynamite and General Smith, at the headquarters, knew exactly the damage that would result to the enemy when that dynamite went off. Neither would have had that Information In-formation If a worried banker in Bingville, U. S. A., hadn't painstakingly painstak-ingly filled out Form TFR-500 which the treasury department had sent him. The information asked for concerned con-cerned American investments In foreign for-eign lands, and the Information the government got back made it possible pos-sible for it to get the detailed blue prints of the factory that Jones blew up from the American firm which had built it and, in this case, the construction engineer who had bossed the Job. The function of these annoying TRF-500's which have already located locat-ed American investments in 102 countries, the largest single one of which is seven million dollars and the smallest forty dollars, serves other exceedingly useful, if not as dramatic, purposes. Other Function$ One government official pointed out to me another important function func-tion this Information plays in non-military non-military wartime activities. He-said? "The more complete information the government has on the total American stake abroad, the more successful will be the efforts of our forces on the fighting fronts, the more quickly will the Allied Miliary Mili-ary Government be able to restore civilian activities in reoccupied areas, the better equipped our representatives repre-sentatives will be to safeguard the Interests of the American people during the peace table discussions, and the sounder will be the working out of postwar policies in the field of international economic relationships. relation-ships. "This survey of American Investments Invest-ments abroad Is an instrument of vital importance to the future of this country. Most other world powers have long since collected similar in-formation. in-formation. They not only know the holdings of their own nationals all over the world, but their relations with those of other countries. Their plans are welt formulated to protect and develop these Investments. Our government believes we should not ' be less well Informed." This official had a particular reason rea-son in discussing this situation with me. First, he wanted to stimulate the I people who had received Form TFR-! TFR-! 600 in giving as complete a report , as possible. Second, he desired wide publicity In the hope that other American citi-rens, citi-rens, individuals, corporations, executives exec-utives of estates, trustees of charitable charita-ble organizations who might be able to furnish the Information desired, would get In touch with the treasury department and turn it over to the government. Rehabilitation Aside from its value to military men, the tacts are exceedingly important im-portant to the Allied officials who are administering rehabilitation In occupied countries. If they know about a plant that has certain production pro-duction facilities or trained people who can be used In producing what they desire, it greatly helps their work. It has proved in Sicily, and will prove In Italy, of great value to the Allied administrators to get In-formation In-formation concerning the citizens so that they can pick those who are of known non-Fascist leanings to cooperate co-operate with them. The information also, of course, a exceedingly valuable to many of the government departments.
