As Kesselring took over the Gerd man command, his forces faced the Canadian 1st, British 2nd and U. S. 9th armies on the .western border of the Ruhr, while the U. S. 1st army built up strength for a drive to the south of the vital industrial valley from its Remagen bridgehead. Following a tremendous concerted aerial bombardment aimed at softening up the enemys rear areas, these four Allied armies stood ready to strike to the east of the Rhine and break into the open German plains on the high road to Berlin. Farther to the south, the U. S. 3rd and 7th armies, having cleaned out the Saar, drew up against the forested mountain country to the east of the Rhine in this sector. ductive capacity, besides causing Alserious civilian dislocations. ready, almost half of Tokyos civilian population has been evacuated, it was said. hard-presse- Rastus De one on dat dog. . of his command following reports that he had failed to negotiate an Double Trouble , Besides impairing the home effort, such raids as the recent carrier plane attacks on the Japs great inner naval base in the Inland sea bounded by the home islands of Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku serve not only to cripple the enemy fleet hut also damage important repair and anchorage facilities. the Japs feel that any direct assault on the homeland would give thehn the advantage of short supply lines and land bases from which to develop counter-measurethey are looking worriedly to the Chinese coast, where they believe the U.

Although s, . Thus, while Kesselring had his hands full trying to hold the Allied armies off from the open northern plains, German commanders in the east experienced equal difficulty meeting the Russian onslaught over the other end of the level northern country in the east.

May Cut Draft Calls With the services expected to built up to full strength by July, 1945, monthly draft calls thereafter may be cut from the present 135,000 to 93,000 to furnish replacements, President Roosevelt revealed. At the same time, a congressional committee was told that although draft calls would be re- -' duced after Germanys defeat, young men will continue to be inducted during the Japanese war to replace discharged vets. Previously, selective service announced that some 145,000 men from 18 to 29 years of age in the steel, transportation, mining and synthetic rubber industry would be deferred as essential workers, breaking the former policy of exempting only about 30 per cent in any field. As a result, older men in the 30 to 37 age group will have to be inducted to make up the difference, it was said. be .

H. w The food situation continued to occupy the countrys attention, with the conviction growing that Americans will have to give their belts a long pull inward to help feed distressed civilians in liberated countries. But if the food situation took the spotlight in the U. S., it also aroused interest in Britain, where Prime Minister Churchill told the house of commons that the country only had less than 6 million tons of food in reserve instead of the 700 million suggested by some quarters in America. Some of it was being used to feed needy Europeans, he said. Following President Roosevelts statement that it was only decent for Americans to share some of their food supplies with hungry Europeans, and reports that the armys share of meat would be increased 4 per cent during the next three months to help feed people in the war zones while U. S. civilians would be slashed 12 per cent, it was announced that the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation administration (UNRRA) would require about 800 million pounds of food from this country during April, May and June.' Food other than meat composes UNRRAs largest claim on U. S. stocks, with calls for meat amounting to 1 out of every 350 pounds of the nations civilian supply, it was said. Deliveries of grain, flour and other cereal products top the list, with meat and fat and then beans and peas, milk and sugar in order. Of UNRRAs total requirements of 1,876,000,000 pounds of food for the next three months, the U. S. is expected to furnish 42 per cent, with Canada supplying 38 per cent and other United Nations the rest. rich Saar basin to aerial raids on her great urban centhe southwest. ters, Japans leaders called for the In picking Kessel- establishment of virtual martial law ring to try to hold in tHe country, permitting expropriNo Shape to Eat the sagging German ation of land end demolition of Bill How can you afford .to take front in the west, Hitler chose buildings for defense purposes. your girls to such expensive places an ardent Nazi, who gained notice authorities Though high military to eat? through his development of strong believe that Japan, like Germany, we one I As Joe enter, ask each defensive lines in Italy.

Although Sister Kennys decision to leave the country came upon the heels of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis refusal of a request for $804,000 for the Kenny institute in Minneapolis, Minn., she said that money was no object, since the people of the latter city already had raised $400,000 for her work and undoubtedly could double the Related To Constipation i figure. Rather, she said, her decision to leave was prompted by the medical professions failure to provide assistance for further research into her theory of treatment., Without such research, she declared, her presence here was no longer necessary since others have been trained in her present methods.
