There was further development of these plans when the Allied leaders met again at Quebec, August 17. The year 1943 saw a new phase in World War II, with the Allies swinging into the offensive and the Axis resorting to rearguard action to slow the drive on their main bastions. Not only was this phase exemplified in Europe, but it also was brought to the fore in the South Pacific, where dynamic, imaginative Gen. Douglas MacArthur began the' push to oust the enemy from their outposts in the Solomons and New Guinea and clear the path for the reconquest of the Philippines and the defeat of the Japs.

Returning from a warfront town, Marshall held a press conference. newsmen were present. Twenty-on- e Marshall said he would answer one question from each newsman. He turned to the man nearest Mm on the right and said, "All right, what's yours?" The question proved to be rather elaborate. "I will answer that in a minute," said Marshall. "But let's go ahead. What's yours?" And before answering any questions, he went the rounds of 21 men and got their 21 questions. Then he proceeded to answer the questions one by one. Not only did he remember the question which each of the twenty-on- e had asked, but he remembered who asked it. Pointing to each man, he said, "Now your question was" And then he named it and proceeded to answer it. This was more than a feat of memory. It gave order and body to the answers, and eliminated the confusion of most press conferences. Note: Other competitors for the "Memory Club" are Nat Howard of the Cleveland News, formerly U.

Home Front Interest Focused on Economic Stabilization ' j During 1943, Interest on the home front was focused on economic stabilization, as set forth by President Roosevelt in his "Hold the line" order of April 7. The President asked no ceilings be raised on food except to the minimum extent required by law, and he directed the reduction of excess prices, which was eventually accomplished by the cutting of costs to consumers through subsidies. President also forbade wage creases except to Improve standard rates or accompany The in- subpro- motions. Leading the fight for higher wages, John L. Lewis and his 4G0.000 United Mine Workers maneuvered for seven months before finally reaching an agreement with the government November 3, allowing a dally S01 lic Health service from the supplemental defense bill. However, what most observers missed was the fact that this same committee less than six months ago disapproved a $175,000 request for medical relief on the ground that the request should have been bigger! The $1,000,000 fund was to enable the relocation of 600 doctors and dentists in areas where they are desperately needed, and was vetoed despite warnings by War Manpower's Dr. Frank H. Lahey, the American Medical association, the Ameri-ca- n Dental association, and the war and navy departments that in some areas there was only one physician to every 3,000 civilians. But the committee butchered the $1,000,000 just the same. In contrast, here is how the same committee ruled last May on a $175,. 000 request for relocating 70 physicians: "The committee is well aware that the shortage of physicians in many sections of the country is acute, but considers that any program which would provide for the services of only 70 physicians is so ineffective as to be unjustifiable. "The committee is willing to give consideration to any type of program which the Public Health serv-ic- e may suggest to meet the need in a more adequate manner." I'XCLE SHYLOCK? Hottest question at the Atlantic City relief conference: Who pays the relief bill? There Is no dispute about the quality of mercy, but some think it blesses him that takes more than him that gives. In short, most of the foreign delegates are willing to pledge products of all kinds from their countries, for relief of the oppressed peoples of Europe, provided those products may be sold, not given away.

Vega Bright Star Over In the west is the bright star Vega. Its surface temperature is about 20,000 degrees Fahrenheit, its diameter is 2,000,000 miles, and it is really 52 times as bright as the Sun. Its distance, however, is 27 light years, which is equal to 159, 000,000,000,000 miles, or, if you like, equal to 1,700,000 times the distance of the Sun; so the Sun appears to us to be 50,000,000,000 times u bright as Vega.

Although details of the Duce's downfall were meager, there was a Axis had cracked, and this was confirmed September 8 feeling that the when Gen. Dwight Eisenhower announced Italy's surrender. Thus did events shape in accordance withPrime Minister Winston Churchill's calculations of Italy being the "soft underbelly" of Europe.

The best word in the ruling Is "consenting." That means all the guilt won't be shuffled off onto Hitler and the Nazi suicides, who are a cinch to blow their scrambled brains out when Germany's licking becomes ofA lot of military murficial derers are counting on a repudiation of the Nazi party to excuse their crimes when peace comes , . . That's why all those stories are trickling out of Der Slaughterland on how the army hates the Fuehrer. The German army hates only a loser. But there will have to be more punishment than sending the homicidal maniacs to the gallows and to jail. Somebody's got to pay for their destruction and rebuild the towns and cities they have burned and blasted out of existence. They can't restore the lives of their victims, but much of their destruction can be repaired. Because there's an angle to their wrecking methods, as Fletcher Pratt points out. The Nazis are whipped and they know it . . . They figure that the same old softies will be in charge of things as ruled after the last war when they escaped with their worthless hides. The sentiment, they hope, will be: "Oh, well, we've won the war so let's be merciful."
