Mr. Roosevelt said his five meas- ‛
ures togetner formed "a just and
equitable whole.”
He said he would not favor na-
tional service unless the other laws
were passed “to keep down the cost
of living, to share equitable the
burdens of taxation, to hold the
stabilization line, and to prevent
undue profits;”
The President told Congress that
after three years’ hesitance about
national service, he was convinced
today “of its necessity.”
“Although I believe,” he said,
“that we and our Allies can win
the war without such a measure,
I am certain that nothing less
than total mobilization of all our
resources of power and capital will
guarantee an earlier victory, and
reduce the toll of suffering and
sorrow and blood.”
He said he had received a joint
recommendation for national ser-
vice from the heads of war and
navy departments and. the Mari-
an in-

hausted,.

Washington, Jan.. 11 (UP)—President Roosevelt today
recommended to Congress a five-point legislative program
topped by a national service law which, he said, would pre-
vent strikes and make “every able-bodied adult in this na-
tion” available for War Production and other essential ser-
vices.
The President’s five points, recommended in his state of
the union message, were:
“1. A realistic tax law.
“2. A continuation of the law. for the renegotiation of
war contracts.
“3. A cost f food law.
“4. Early reenactment of the (economic) stabilization
statute of October, 1942.
“5. A national, service law—which, for the duration of
the war, will prevent strikes, and with Certain appropriate
exceptions, will make available for war production or any
other essential services every able-bodied adult in this na-
tion.”

Bodies of three Army airmen who

Discovery of the last two of the
bodies waj announced last night

A 10-year-old mother who gave
birth to an eight-pound, eight-

Both the mother, daughter of a
36-year-old Negro truck driver and
his 32-year-old wife, and her child
“are doing well,” Dr. J. E. Cook,
who delivered the baby, reported
today.
Dr. Cook said to his knowledge
the young negress was the young-
est mother in the United States.
“The child never did know what
was happening,” Dr. Cook said.
“She had been told she was go-

of the annual cost of the war.
This would be roughly one billion
dollars.
He pointed out that the stabili-
zation law expires June 30, 1944,
and “if it is not extended well in
advance, the country might just
as well expect price chaos by sum-
mer.”
Elaborating on the necessity for
national service, the President said
there are millions of American
men and women who are not in
this war at all.”
“It is not because they do not
want to be in it,” he said. “But
they want to know where they
can best do their share. National
service provides that direction. It
will be a means by which every
man and woman can find that
inner satisfaction which comes
from making the fullest possible
contribution to victory.”
Moscow, which was expected
momentarily to announce the cap

Fast-rolling Russian spearheads were believed to have
cut the German armies on the Russian front virtually in
two today while the Soviet Government offered to compro-
mise its boundary settlement with Poland and American
troops penetrated German defenses in Italy.
The Allied aerial offensive resumed full power as a
mighty force of American bombers streamed out over Axis
Europe a few hours after British Wellingtons blasted Sofia
in the second Allied raid on the Bulgarian capital in 12
hours.
Hard-driving vanguards of Gen. Nicolai F. Vatutin’s 1st
Ukrainian army were reported to have swept past the rail
junction town of Sarny, 36 miles inside the old Polish bord-
er, severing the last north and south communication line
between the German armies east of Brest Litovsk, 130 miles
to the northwest.
Other units of the 1st army, racing across the border
some 24 miles south of Sarny, smashed the German Slutch
river line and overran the major highway junction of Ber-
eznov, and Lyudviopi, 28 miles south of Rovno, German ad-
ministrative capital for the Ukraine.
Still farther south, left wing units of the 1st army oc-
cupied Nemirov, only five miles from the Bug River, 54
miles from Rumania’s Bessarabian frontier and 20 miles
northeast of the Odessa-Warsaw trunk railway, last prac-
tical exit route for thousands of German troops cornered
in the Dnieper bend.
Meanwhile, Gen. Ivan S. Konev’s westward-rolling 2nd
Ukrainian army intensified its offensive around Smela and
north of Kirovograd, overrunning more than 50 inhabited
localities and killing 8,000 German tank and motorized
troops who refused to surrender their arms. Many prison-
