Nobody answered, which seemed to annoy him. He cleared his throat and raised his voice a few decibels.

AT SUNDAY SCHOOL PACIFIC: Battle Looms HOME FRONT: Tighten Economy On the great plain leading southward to Manila in Luzon, the decisive battle of the Philippines shaped up, as the U. S. Sixth army moved inland from an 25 - mile expanding beachhead on Lingayen Gulf and the Japanese brought up troops to counter the liberators. Congressional hearings on a work or fight bill for men from 18 to 45 years old; imposition of an $18 ceiling per 100 pounds on live beef cattle ; an appeal to householders to keep temperatures at 68 degrees, and a ban on all advertising lighting using power developed from coal marked the governments latest moves on the home front to fit the nation into the tightening war economy. Considered after. President Roosevelts demand for a national service act, the work or fight bill under discussion provides for the induction of any draft registrant from 18 to 45 into army labor battalions if he fails to enter essential employment or shifts jobs without permission of local boards. Vith the services planning to take 900,000 men within the next six months, and with another 700,000 persons needed in essential war work plus replacements for those drafted from industry, some sort of legislation was held to be the- most effective way for routing manpower in the future. Regarding the draft. Secretary of War Stimson said practically all As the first . large-scal- e open fighting of the yhole Pacific camafter paign loomed, three years of arduous undercover jungle warfare, U. S. war planes clouded the Philippine skies in endless attacks upon enemy installations and lines of communications leading to the big battleground.r, General Like a good MacArthur struck on Luzon in a long convoy after successfully feinting the enemy out of position, with the result that the American landings were almost bloodless. In establishing a base on Leyte, and overrunning Mindoro and Marinduque, all just south of Luzon, MacArthur compelled the enemy to keep a strong guard strung below Manila. Then, he moved to the north. With Luzon the center of their whole Philippine defense system guarding the Asiatic mainland, the Japanese appeared determined to put up a stiff fight for it, with the enemys top field marshal, Tomo-yuYamashita, reportedly commanding some 200,000 troops. Working in close coordination with the. ground forces, Adm. Chester Nimitz Pacific fleet rode the enemys inner sea lanes in an effort to prevent the Japanese from rushing reinforcements to their Philippine armies. prize-fighte- 800-shi- p, 70-mi- le - Byrnes subjecting 360,000 agricultural workers 18. to 26 to induction in the new mobilization of manpower for the army and navy, according to farm leaders in the nations capital. There is no evidence, they say, that the Selective Service commission intends, to nullify the Tydings amendment to the Selective Service act, which specifically provides for deferment, of farm ' labor, if replacements are not available, and if local draft boards determine the workers are more essential on the farms. It could be, authorities say here, that if there are any farm workers who have left the farm if there are for other work any who may be considered such as workers on hop farms, or mushroom growers . . . they may be called to military service under reclassification.

Establishment of an $18 ceiling on live cattle up to July 2, when the top will fall to $17.50, came after lengthy discussion between government representatives and feeders, who declared the move would result in less choice beef because of rising production costs. Emphasizing its desire for output of more low grade beef, Economic Stabilizer Vinson ordered OP A and War Food administrator to limit choice and good , cattle slaughter for each month. The appeal to householders to keep temperatures at 68 dfegrees, and the order to cut off advertising lighting, were both ( aimed at conserving , fuel, what , with estimated consumption of soft coal for .1945 set at 620,000,000 tons and production at 580,000,000, with the latter figure reflecting a reduction of 45,000 in the mining force since 1943. Furthermore, the industrys stockpiles amount to only one months supply. able-bodie- 460-mi- le , By diverting the bulk of Allied forces with the drive into Belgium, the Nazis claimed, they preserved g potential much of their by temporarily stalling the drives on the great steel, chemical, and coal centers of the Ruhr and Saar.

Although pledging full support for an adequate defense program, the Association of American Colleges went on record as against immediate enactment of compulsory peacetime military training for youth because other methods have not been fully explored and the sub-- , study ject should be given more ' than now is possible. Chairman of the committee drawing up the resolution against immediate enactment of peacetime conscription, Dr. Donald J. Cowling, president of Carleton college, said: This country did not get into the. present mess through lack of manpower, but because it lacked a real foreign policy, as was evidenced in failure to apply economic sanctions against Japan and Italy.

At 87 billion dollars, the Presidents budget was about 13 billion dollars below last yeairs 100 billion, dollars, with most of the reduction in war expenditures. Because of decreased war expenditures, however, individuals and corporations will receive less income and pay less taxes, with revenue expected to go down to about 41 billion dollars. By the end of June, 1946, the national debt will reach 292 billion ' dollars, the President estimated. Presidents the in Included budget was a request of 2 billion dollars for veterans benefits, which can be expected to increase upon demobilization, he said, and the asking of a half billion dollars for the War Food administration for the farm price support program. He also requested that the borrowing authority of the Rural Electrification sys- - ' tern be raised to 150 million dollars and that of the Farm Security administration to 125 million. ' ' .
