OFFICIALS GO TO SCHOOL All over Washington, grown men are going to school again. More than 500 officials of a dozen different departments are doing "home work' learning vocabularies, drawing maps, and studying charts. It's the latest phase of the Good Neighbor policy. The government is teaching itself to know Latin-America. With funds from the Rockefeller office, a school has been set up, known as the Inter-American Train ing center. Dr. Henry Grattan Doyle took a year's leave from George Washington university to run it When Morris Cooke was asked to head an economic mission to Bra til, his experts attended Doyle's school before flying down to Rio. The treasury department has 28 lawyers dealing with Latin America. All are boning up with Dean Doyle and his faculty. Luncheon conferences are held all over town to discuss Latin Americausually Amer-icausually in Spanish. Doyle provides pro-vides a Latin expert for each luncheon. lunch-eon. WAR DULLS POLITICAL AXE The fact that Economic Stabilizer Jimmy Byrnes is not letting politics creep into his job is evidenced by the appointment of bald, mustachioed mustachi-oed Ralph E. Flanders, as one of the two management representatives representa-tives on his advisory board. For Flanders, who is president of the Jones and Lamson Machine com pany of Springfield, Vt, has been one of the President's severest crit ics. . . In fact if he could get his hands on a certain letter he wrote during the 1936 campaign, undoubtedly he would lose no time burning it up. The letter was sent to Joseph Leib of South Bend, Ind., founder (in 1930) of the first Roosevelt-for-Pres-Ident club. Leib had written Flan ders asking if he thought business would receive the "breathing spell" promised by the President during the campaign. The Vemont manufacturer re plied, August 25, 1936, that it was "increasingly difficult" to support New Deal policies, chiefly because of the tax bill of that year, which, he said, "makes it practically im possible either to pay dividends or to lay aside reserves to meet future conditions of unemployment. "I can only conclude," Flanders added, "that there is no such thing as a 'breathing spell' so long as Mr. Roosevelt is President." Early in 1941 Flanders was appointed ap-pointed to a key job in the Machine and Tools group of the OPM priorities priori-ties division. His company also has received several substantial contracts con-tracts from the government. Taxes are a lot higher than in 1936, however, how-ever, and there will be no breathing-spell breathing-spell for profits. But when Leib again wrote Flanders Flan-ders asking if he still held to the views expressed in the 1936 letter, Flanders replied: V "Since we are now at war, much of the misunderstanding of the peacetime situation no longer holds." SYNTHETIC CHRISTMAS This December 25 one year after Pearl Harbor will be a wooden Christmas with a synthetic Santa Claus. The spirit will be the same, but the form will be different. Skates, scooters, sleds, electric trains, rubber balls these will be scarce everywhere if not absent entirely. en-tirely. Only the stores which placed their orders early last January will have the usual toys, and these probably prob-ably will be sold out by Thanksgiv ing. , Experts of the commerce department depart-ment have made a survey of the toy situation. They find that three types will be especially short rubber rub-ber toys, wheel toys, and metal goods. A WPB order stopped production of children's bicycles last April. Velocipedes, scooters, baby carriages, car-riages, "flexies" all will be short Clearly it will not be a rolling Christmas. Makers of electric trains are 90 per cent converted to making materials ma-terials of war. There may be 50 per cent of the normal train supply this year, but they are disappearing fast Ice skates and roller skates are almost unobtainable, and lead soldiers are practically extinct Meanwhile, warlike toys are appearing ap-pearing everywhere toy bomb-sights, bomb-sights, tanks, bombing planes, and even bomb-banks for the dimes and nickels instead of the old piggy bank. In all this there is one consolation for the girls. The war has not disturbed the production of dolls, except for those made of rubber.

S. soldiers and marines bore the brunt of continued con-tinued Japanese attacks. The enemy en-emy bolstered its push with fresh reinforcements, landing them on the northwestern end of the island. The Japs opened their big attack by laying down a heavy artillery barrage and then using tanks and troops against the Americans' defense de-fense lines. In the first two days of fighting. United States forces repulsed re-pulsed five tank attacks with artillery. artil-lery. The navy communique did not mention American tanks. Prior to sending their ground forces into action, the foe smashed at Henderson field with costly results re-sults for themselves. The Japs sent over 16 bombers escorted by 20 Zero fighters. Grumman Wildcats, piloted pilot-ed by marines, shot down all of the fighters, one of the bombers and damaged three additional bombers. Japanese shipping in the Solomons area was the target of American pilots. The fliers chalked up two Jap cruisers and one destroyer dam aged, another cruiser probably dam aged and one heavy cruiser or bat tleship possibly damaged. Three attacks were made by Doug las dive bombers on a force of cruis ers and destroyers north of Florida island 13 miles north of Guadal canal The navy communique said one enemy cruiser was damaged by bombs and the force withdrew. Cooperation Meanwhile, from General MacAr-thur's MacAr-thur's headquarters in Australia came word of continuing Allied bombing raids on Jap bases north of the Solomons. Approximately 100,000 tons of shipping were de stroyed or damaged in three nights of bombing at Rabaul, New Britain. Other Allied bombers attacked Kavieng, New Ireland, scoring direct hits on Jap fuel dumps and installations. installa-tions. Fires were visible for 90 miles. Medium bombers were in action over Dutch Timor, north of Australia, where they bombed grounded aircraft air-craft on the airdrome at Koepang, starting numerous fires. RUSSIA: Relief Army At points the battle line in Stalingrad Stalin-grad had been driven to within 600 yards of the Volga as the struggle for that vital city reached its climax. While the Soviet reports told of beating beat-ing off constant Nazi attacks, these same communiques admitted that the Germans gained important streets and buildings in other sec tions of the stricken city. To the northwest the Soviet "relief "re-lief army" battled forward After one advance this force found 3,000 German troops dead and dying in trenches and dugouts. In one inhabited in-habited locality 600 Rumanians were killed and many captured. Germany's final, all-out drive for the city of Stalingrad itself was just part of the news from Russia, however, how-ever, for in the Mozdok area of the Caucasus the Nazi advance had been slowed to a standstill; on the Black sea Russian marines were throwing back a strong Nazi drive southeast of Novorossisk; and on the Voronezh sector of the upper Don two German Ger-man platoons were slaughtered trying try-ing to cross a water barrier.

COFFEE: One Cup a Day Coffee will be rationed throughout the nation beginning November 28 on the basis of one pound each five weeks for all persons over 15 years of age, under an order issued by the Office of Price Administration. On the basis of 35 to 40 cups per pound, the ration means slightly more than a cup a day a person. So that merchants can stock their shelves, retail sales of coffee will be frozen at midnight, November 21. First of the rationed coffee will be purchased on the last stamp in the sugar ration book, stamp No. 28. Following rationed coffee will be issued is-sued by working backward through the sugar stamp book, using stamps No. 28 to 19, in sequence. Eligibility will be determined by the age shown on the sugar book. RAF BOMBERS: Over Italy Long-range RAF bombers struck 750 miles across France and Switzer land to ravage sections of northern Italy and to smash the port of Genoa in the heaviest raids of the war on Hitler's henchmen. Targets included the great Genoa- Milan-Turin industrial triangle, site of Italy's principal aircraft and ship building works. The day before, RAF planes left Genoa flaming under un-der two-ton "block buster" bombs.' The British air ministry announced that many large fires were set at Genoa, and the raid drew the almost unheard of admission from Rome radio that the bombers caused heavy damage. While the bombers also attacked other points, they concentrated concen-trated their incendiaries and heavy explosives on Genoa, Italy's chief port The reason for the heaviest attack on Genoa was obvious. That port city is a vital supply terminal for Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in Af. rica. It is also the site of aircraft parts and munition works. NORTH AFRICA: Libya Bound When the British launched the "biggest battle" of Egypt military eAjtiei ui ejiew mat we oDjecuve was to crush the Africa Corps of Nazi uenerai Kommel and drive the Axis forces deep into Libya, there to crush and destroy it.

TANK, PLANE GOAL: Emphasis Shifted Disclosing that the year's numer-ical numer-ical production for planes and tanks would not be met, President Roosevelt Roose-velt attributed the situation to a shift in emphasis to heavier, harder-hitting models dictated by battle experience. ex-perience. , , In his message to congress last January, the President said he had, ordered steps taken to "increase our production rate of airplanes so rapidly rap-idly that in this year, 1942, we shall produce 60,000 planes." This, he explained, contemplated not the production of 60,000 planes but the attainment of a 60,000-planes-a-year production rate. He told his press conference that the changeover from the M-3 to the M-4 tank meant that the numerical goal (of 45,000 tanks) would not be reached but that the full amount of steel and materials called for in the initial program would still be used In the manufacture of fighting machines through enlarged units. THICKER SOX: And Faster Mail "Hello, Eleanor." This was the greeting the President's Presi-dent's wife was given as she hustled hus-tled about the British isles on her visits to American troops stationed there. She had left Buckingham palace pal-ace and the royalty in it behind and started her tour of inspection at the Washington club, main gathering place for U. S. servicemen on leave in London. Here she told the soldiers and sailors that she had already learned they would like to have thicker socks. She promised to see what she could do about it. Then the men told her that they would like some kind of a speed-up in the delivery de-livery of mail from home. This too, would get her attention, said the First Lady. Said she: "I came here to learn just such things and I hope you will tell me more." That was her idea, to learn as much about conditions among the AEF as she could. Most people who know Mrs. Roosevelt sensed that she was coming home with a good store of information on this subject. HONGKONG: Docks Bombed Hong Kong's comparatively peaceful peace-ful days came to a sudden end as United States bombers blasted the Japanese-occupied city in the first Allied raid on the British crown colony col-ony since the Japs occupied it last Christmas day. The U. S. planes unloaded tons of explosives on the great Kowloon dock area, shooting down 10 enemy fighters and probably destroying five others. One American bomber failed to return to its base and one fighter was reported to have made a forced landing in Chinese territory. Shortly before the Hong Kong raid. Brig. Gen. Claire L.- Chennault's China air task force smashed a vast Japanese operated coal mining area around Linsi, in northeast China. Not a single plane was lost in this, one of the longest bombing raids of the war. The bombers destroyed de-stroyed the huge power plant which was the main target, and put the Linsi mine and five others in the Kailan area out of commission.
