A sharp curtailment in automobile travel is the direct result of Axis submarine activity against V. S. coastal shipping trade. : Land in Ireland Shipload upon shipload of United States soldiers, fully equipped for mechanical warfare, have arrived in Northern Ireland to bolster the already large American garrison there. Enthusiasm was at high pitch in Britain. One military observer pointed out that the arrival of thou-sands of American soldiers in Ulster allows planning for offensive opera-tions on the continent "on a scale of at least 20 divisions or 300,000 men. The U. S. communique stated: "British Isles: The war department today announced the arrival of addi-tional United States army troops. The number is substantially larger than previous contingents and in-cludes tank units." The debarkation was carried out swiftly and secretly. Secluded bases already had been prepared for the men. RUSSIA : Kharkhov and Kerch For some time Hitler's objective on the southern flank of his eastern front had been clear. He wanted badly the oil that the Caucasian area could give him. His much-feare- d "spring offensive" shaped up that as the mud of Hussia's Crimea be-gan to dry. With overwhelming numbers he swept the Russians before him on his march across the Kerch penin-sula. Then from Berlin came the report that the fighting in this area had ended and that the Russian troops had been "annihilated." But Moscow even later reported that in the town of Kerch itself there was still street fighting and that the de-fenders were hanging tenaciously on to their foothold at the eastern tip of the Crimea. It was near Kharkov, rurther north, though, that the Russians claimed their greatest successes. The Kerch peninsula might be lost to the Germans but Nazi defenses around Kharkov had taken a ter-rific pounding from the Soviet artil-lery, tanks, planes and infantry. One report said that the Russians in a "new push" had taken 300 towns, slain 12,000 Nazis, captured 1,200 additional soldiers and had destroyed 400 tanks. In the Kharkov battle, Russian Marshal Timoshenko seemed to have taken the Nazis by surprise. The Soviet high command report-ed that the Germans first fled in panic before the onslaught of Rus-sian planes battering their lines at altitudes as low as 70 feet. Then the Nazis rallied and the fight-'- . ing gained a new peak of ferocity. 'INSIDE' STORIES: Of Axis Internees Inside stories of conditions in Axis nations were related by diplomats and newspaper men who arrived in Lisbon, Portugal, after five months of internment in Germany and Italy. United States and Axis internees were exchanged in Lisbon. Correspondents were unanimous in their belief that Germany will gamble everything on an all-o-drive this spring. To meet this showdown, Hitler is reported to have prepared 300 army divisions. Of these, 210 divisions have been as-signed to the Russian front. Competent observers in Berlin predict that Germany must "shoot the works" this summer and that the fortunes of war will turn definite-ly against the Nazis unless the all-o-drive is successful. Hitler's declaration of war upon the United States was termed the biggest blunder of his career. The German people did not expect it even after Japan attacked the Unit-ed States. Germany's older generat-ion remembered all too well that the U. S. helped decide World War I. Italy's war against this country is exceedingly unpopular with the peo-ple, according to interned corre-spondents. The Italians dislike the Germans and care nothing for the Japanese. Mussolini, too, is unpopular with his people. King Victor Emmanuel lost much of the respect that was his when war was declared in his name. But observers were agreed that a revolution is doomed to failure un-less it has the support of the army. The army still is loyal to the throne. CONSTRUCTION CUT: Production Stressed Behind the War Production board's decision to cancel contracts for war plants which cannot be completed and in production by mid-194- 3 lies two major considerations: A severe shortage of raw materi-als. Belief that spring and summer developments may bring a turning point in the war. Construction will be stepped up on facilities such as synthetic rubber and aviation gasoline plants and will be cut down on such projects as new steel plants. Because of the raw material shortage, the WPB had decided to concentrate available supplies on arms and munitions production rath-er than on the plants in which they are manufactared. Officials explained that the WPB has determined to produce 60,000 planes, 45,000 tanks, and eight mill-ion tons of shipping in 1942. They will deal with the increased pro-gram for 1943 when that time ar-rives. RAISE: For the Shipbuilders Payable in war bonds, a wage in-crease averaging eight cents an hour went to the workers in the ma-jor shipbuilding yards throughout the nation. This announcement was made after a conference in Chicago of private shipbuilders, union officials and government rep-resentatives. Five hundred thousand workers throughout the country were effected by the wage increase. Pres-ident Roosevelt had requested the War Bond raise as an aid to check-ing inflation and at the same time allow shipbuilders to meet increased living costs. MISCELLANY: Smash: In Pittsburgh, Actress Katherine Hepburn smashed a camera when he snapped her picture without asking her permission. Gestapo: A Stockholm dispatch said that Eeinhard Heydrick, right-han- d man of Heinrich Himmler, Gestapo chief, had .been appointed Gestapo commissar general in all German occupied territory.

AIRLINES: War Footing At President Roosevelt's direction the war department placed domes-tic airlines on a wartime footing by ordering the transfer to the army air forces of a substantial proport-ion of available flight equipment for operation by army personnel; by having the airlines convert approxi-mately 70 ships into cargo carriers which they will operate for the Air Service command; and by giving emergency military missions priori-ty on the remaining 70 ships to be owned and operated by the airlines. BRIGHT LIGHTS: And Shipping Losses Because dim-o- regulations in New York were held "unsatisfact-ory" by the army, drastic new reg-ulations will affect the lives of the city's millions. Acting with the approval of the army and navy, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia ordered a program which tor the first time will screen aU floodlighting in railroad yards, manufacturing plants, docks, ship-yards and terminals. Evidence of the gravity of the coastal shipping situation was seen j" the fact that a submarine, which lay in wait at the mouth of the Mis-sissippi river, sank a large Ameri-can cargo ship and killed 27 mem-her- s of the crew. The daring at-tack was made in midafternoon . when the ship waited a mile and a hall from the mouth of the river 'or a pilot to take her into the river. Another ship, a Mexican tanker, was by an Axis submarine with- - sight of resort crowds at Miami Beach, Fla. Scores of persons watched the ship burn. PREPAREDNESS iy 1fie AMERICAN RED CROSS When disaster strikes, the Red Cross is first in and last out. yOLUNTEER Special Services of the American Red Cross have been geared to meet war re-quirements and war priorities. Although a shortage of materi-als has cut down production work, women who have sewed and knit-ted for the Red Cross will be glad to know that, under an agreement with the War Production board, a certain amount of wool and yard goods will be available for Red Cross workers, according to Mrs. Dwight Davis, national director of this Red Cross program. The Red Cross Motor corps has been active since the early days of the First World war, but since last year its work has tripled. Many of the 6,576 members, on account of tire priorities, are restricting the personal use of their cars so that their motor corps work may be continued. Motor corps volunteers drive the ambulances which provide transportation for hospitals and Red Cross chapters, and. hold themselves ready for service in any kind of emerg-ency. Besides their basic train-ing in motor mechanics and advanced first aid, many mem-bers are now studying map reading, stretcher drills, and convoy and ambulance black-out driving in with their local police and fire de-partments. A new canteen aide corps has recently been formed in prepara-tion for wartime emergencies, when feeding of large groups of people such as evacuees or disas-ter victims may have to be hastily organized. The other general wartime vol-unteer services of the Red Cross include home service to the fami-lies of the men in the forces, the hospital and recreation corps which brings cheer to the sick and wounded, and the staff assistance corps, which provides volunteers for all kinds of office work in hos-pitals, clinics and Red Cross chap-ter and to man information desks and register disaster victims.
