Johnson of the Royal Canadian Air force. In center background is Artemus Gates, D. S. assistant secretary of the navy. Lovett and Gates attended the United Nations air training conference in which representatives of 12 countries participated. RUSSIAN FRONT: Two Offensives As the Nazis began massing new panzer divisions for the first 1942 thrust at Moscow from the west, further to the south their forces scored a strategic victory as they forced withdrawal of Russian troops from the Kerch peninsula. Their goal in that section of the front was of course the vital oil fields of the Caucasus. Around Kharkov, to the north of the Kerch area, Marshal Semeon rimoshenko's armies of the Ukraine held the offensive after more than two weeks of steady intensive fight-ing. Success by the Russians at Kharkov would expose rear lines of main German units attacking the Caucasus. Just across the narrow strait from the Kerch peninsula the Russians were reported to have heavily re-inforced their defenses on the Cau-casus shore and the Soviet Black sea fleet was said to be massed near the strait and loomed as Hit-ter's biggest obstacle in any Jump toward the oil treasure. United Nations strategists hope for a successful stand by the Russians !n the Caucasus region. For if Hit-.- can be kept from this oil his time-table will be once more upset. Some experts expressed the suggestion that the threatened Moscow offen-sive was a feint to lure heavy Rus-sian defenses away from the oil Jelds. While the moral effect of Moscow's fall might be bad, the loss f rich supplies of oil in the Cauca-sus would be far more damaging to the Allied cause. Both the Nazis and the Russians were claiming that the other had suffered huge losses in tanks and Dther armored material all along the front. In three days of fighting on the a front, the Russians reported the destruction of 15 German tanks. LAVAL ON SPOT? Nazis Impatient The removal of fuel from French warships at Martinique was an-nounced by Secretary of State Hull, who stated that further de-mobilization work is in progress and proceeding satisfactorily. Meanwhile rumors were revived that Pierre Laval might step out as chief of government in Vichy. La-val had conferred in Paris with Ger-man military and political leaders who are said to have become in-creasingly impatient with his slow-ness in bringing France into full col-laboration. Nazi party leaders were extremely critical regarding Laval's handling of the Martinique affair. Jacques Doriot, former Commu-nist, has been suggested as Laval's successor. Rumors from Vichy stat-ed that he might enter the govern-ment or form his own collaboration-ist regime in Paris. In a May 16 speech, Doriot evinced his own read-iness to take over if Laval was un-able to carry out a satisfactory pro-gram. However, informed persons in Vichy believe that Laval is com-paratively secure for the immediate future. MEXICO:" 'National Pride' As Mexico moved toward war, government officials explained the necessity for such a step. Mexican national pride demanded that the deaths of 21 sailors killed by Axis torpedoes be avenged. A solemn demonstration in mem-ory of the dead sailors drew thou-sands of people to Mexico City's huge central plaza. President Man-uel Avila Camacho, members of the cabinet and congress appeared at the demonstration. The memorial program was followed by a pageant at which the Nazi banner wac burned amid cheers for Roosevelt and other Allied leaders and boos for Hitler, Mussolini and Emperor Hifo-hit- Many German, Japanese and Ital-ia- n business houses were painted with slogans "Down With the Axis!" and "Down With Hitler!" REGISTRATION: Of 18, Young men between the ages of 18 and 19 will register for selective service on June 30. The registrat-ion will include youths whose 20th oirthdays fell between December 31, 1941, and June 30, 1942. Under pres-2n- t law, the first age group is not subject to military service but the .after group can be called. Informed sources report the possi-bilities of a proposal to lower the Tiinimum age for compulsory serv-ice to 19 years and possibly 18. An estimated 1,200,000 persons are in :ach age group. When the selective service act jvas revised by congress after Pearl rlarbor, the war department recom-nende- d making subject :o the draft. The senate acted fa-vorably but the house voted to place Jie minimum age at 21. A resulted, permitting to be drafted. Rep. Andrew J. May of Kentucky, ;hairman of the house military committee, expressed the f that the house would be willing .0 lower the age minimum. How-ever, Sen. Lister Hill of Alabama, democratic whip, said he expected 10 immediate action. New draft classification measures are expected .o be acted upon in the near future. I TRANSPORTATION: Lonely Highways By June, 1943, the Office of Emer-gency Management reports that passenger cars will go off the roads leaving about 8,000,000 unless car pooling can be made ef-fective on a nationwide scale. According to OEM statistics, the average passenger load per mile last year was less than 2 persons, although the average car capacity is 4.2 persons. The War Production board reported some committees have enabled workers to form their own car pools by indicating on conspicuously post-ed maps the home location of every man driving a car to work and of every man without a car. Meanwhile the Office of Defense Transportation banned operation of all sight-seein- g bus services and re-stricted use of chartered buses to such essential operations as trans-porting members of the armed forces, war workers and school chil-dren.

The Stuff Out of Which Conversation Is Made A tourist stopped at a farm-house for a drink of water. "Fine corn," he said, waving to a hill-side. "Best in these parts," replied the farmer. ."But how do you plow that hill? It's pretty steep?" "Don't plow it. The spring thaws bring down stones that tear it up so we can plant the corn." "How do you plant it?" "Shoot the seed in with a shot-gun." "Is that the truth!" exclaimed the tourist. "Of course not," replied the farmer, "but it's conversation." aUOUSEHOU) liHlNTSS Syrup from canned fruits can be used on cereals and for sauces. A fruit jar, tightly capped, can be used effectively for mixing fruit or milk shakes. To help preserve the color of beets and red cabbage when cooki-ng, use a tablespoon of vinegar to each quart of wter. Violent boiling destroys most vitamins. Control heat carefully while boiling food. Pineapple and peach juices mixed in ginger ale make a de-licious punch. Add the ginger ale at the last moment and serve in glasses or a pitcher half-fille- d with crushed ice. The ice is needed to dilute as well as to chill the beverage. t When cotton sheets begin to wear out in the center, rather than sew the outside hems together, make two pillow slips of the two good ends. PREPAREDNESS AMERICAN RED CROSS '"TO THOUSANDS of Americans seeking news of their families and friends in war-tor- n countries, 25 words on an official Red Cross form have meant all the difference between hope and despair. Ever since the outbreak of the war, the American Red Cross has been for many people the only me-dium through which they could get news of their relatives in Poland, Holland, Belgium and the other oc-cupied nations. Even when the news has been bad, even when it has been the worst possible, it has at least meant merciful release from torturing anxiety and uncer-tainty. For a while it was possible in a few cases to maintain contact by letter over long roundabout routes. Since America's entry into the war, all remaining avenues of com-munication have been closed. Today, under the rules of the United States Office of Censor-ship, personal messages to residents of enemy or enemy occupied territory may be for-warded ONLY through the Red Cross inquiry service here and the International Red Cross committee in Geneva, Switzer-land. Regulations governing the send-ing of one of these messages from the United States are that the com-munication, which should be filled in at a local Red Cross chapter, must not be more than 25 words, and should be in English. If it is written in a foreign language, an English translation must be at-tached. The United States Office of Censorship rules that no men-tion may be made of politics or military subjects, defense materials, shipping or weather conditions, business matters or geographic names. Persons employed on munitions or oth-er government work must not mention that fact when writ-ing abroad, and any kind of abbreviation, nickname or de-scription of a person or place is also taboo. But even the strict regulations cannot rob the brief message on the International Red Cross form of its human warmth and drama. The original message, made out in some local Red Cross chapter here, goes on its long and slow journey across ocean and conti-nents. Space is provided on it for a reply message, to be re-turned to the original sender. Prepared Exclusively for WNU.
