That the food situation in the Unit-
ed States is rapidly bringing the
American people down to the Ca-
nadian and British level ofnutrition
was the opinion voiced by Secretary
of Agriculture Claude Wickard.
Mr. Wickard likewise disclosed
that -the amount of food available for

At New York City college’s school of business, the first course in the country to train women for duty
with WAACS, WAVES or SPARS has been opened. Part of the training is a “commando” obstacle course to
harden the trainees. Here the girls (left) are using a springboard in jumping exercise with emphasis on land-
ing roll to learn self-protection against injury in falling. Right: A neat twist of the wrist—that’s all there is to
it. Jewell Lubin and Judy Roth demonstrate the art of Judo during “commando” training in the girls’ tough-
ening course at the school.

“Such a war would be inevitable if
Russia should again embrace the
Trotskyist idea of fomenting world
revolution, or if British interests
should again be sympathetic to anti-
Russian activity in Germany and
other countries.”
WASHINGTON: How Lieut. Ches-
ter W. Nimitz Jr., son of the Pa-
cific admiral, won the silver star
medal was disclosed in a navy re-
port. The citation made public here
says young Nimitz served with “con-
spicuous gallantry and intrepidity”
as torpedo and gunnery officer and
later as executive officer on two war
patrols. During a third patrol near
Java, he also won distinction.
U. S.-RUSSIA:
Need More ‘Trust’
Although the storm over Ambas-
sador-Admiral William H. Stand-
ley’s complaint concerning Russia’s
failure to inform its people fully
about the great extent of American
aid had subsided and future lend-
lease shipments on an ever-bigger
scale were assured, the need for
greater mutual confidence between
the two Allies continued.
This need was stressed by Vice
President Henry A. Wallace in a
speech which coincidentally enough
was delivered at the time Stand-
ley’s statement was made public.
Mr. Wallace had stressed the fact
that a third World war might re-
sult unless the western democracies
and Russia reach a satisfactory un-
derstanding.
“War will be probable in case we
doublecross Russia,” Wallace said.

RUSSIA;
Nazis Uncoil
Three reasons were cited by mili-
tary observers for the initial success
of the sudden German counter-
offensive west of Rostov and south
of Kharkov which in its early stages
had swept forward 100 miles and
resulted in the capture of eight key
cities in the Donetz basin which had
been taken earlier by the Soviets in
their great winter drive.
One reason was the use by the
Nazis of 25 fresh divisions. Twelve
of these had been rushed from west-
ern Europe and the others replen-
ished after previous action. A sec-
ond reason was the drainig of
troops from this southern sector by
the Russians to supply momentum
to their drive on Orel and Vyazma
to the north. The third was the su-
periority of Axis supply lines and
communications in the Donetz area.
The serious extent of these early
German successes was evident in
the fact that Russian official com-
muniques had admitted the loss of
the cities the Germans had claimed.
Russ reports disclosed that the Ger-
man move had actually started late
in February.
The setback in the south had not
prevented the Russians from con-
tinuing their drive on Vyazma. Red
communiques had reported the cap-
ture of Tiomkino.
While Maj. Gen. Thomas E. Terry
(left) looks on, Lieut. Gen. Hugh A.
Drum, commander of the Eastern
Defense Command, pins the Distin-
guished Service Medal upon the
breast of Maj. Gen. James E. Cha-
ney (right), commander of the First
Air Force. The citation described
the award for meritorious service in
establishing a European theater of
operations.
NORTH AFRICA:
Rommel Rages •
Like a wild animal in a cage, Mar-
shal Rommel had struck out at the
forces hemming in his 250,000 army
in Tunisia. His principal offensive
had been a heavy thrust at Gen.
Sir Bernard Montgomery’s British
Eighth army before the strategic
Mareth line in Southern Tunisia.
But the wary Englishman had an-
ticipated the German move and his
deadly artillery fire had repelled re-
peated Nazi attacks with “very
heavy losses.”
Rommel, a master of tank war-
fare, had attempted to break through
the British lines with his heavy
mechanized equipment, but when he
was forced to withdraw wrecked
German tanks were strewn over the
battlefield.
In the north the British First army
had regained the initiative and was
pressing the enemy, while on the
central front the American forces
were moving steadily to hem the
Axis in.
The above chart shows at a glance
which nations of the world have de-
clared war against the others. Of
all the United Nations only three—
Britain, Czechoslovakia and China
—have declared yar on the entire
Axis tribe. The United States ex-
cepts Finland which yet may be in-
duced to quit the Axis.
QUINTUPLETS
relieve coughing of
CHEST COLDS
this good old reliable way!
Whenever the Dionne Quintuplets catch
cold—their chests, throats and backs are
immediately rubbed with Musterole—
a product made especially to promptly
relieve coughing and tight sore aching
chest muscles due to colds—it actually
helps break up local congestion in the
upper bronchial tract, nose and throat.
Musterole gives such wonderful results •
because it’s what so many Doctors and
Nurses call a modern counter-irritant.
Since it’s used on the famous “Quints”
—you can be sure it’s just about the
BEST cold relief you can buy!

Gems of Thought
CHICAGO: With an abundance of
billing and cooing, 5,605 fast-flying
doves were drafted in Chicago for
the army, reducing the city’s peace-
time pigeon population by one-sixth.
The war first drafted a big group
of racing pigeons from the city a
year ago. These traditional sym-
bols of peace were reported in ac-
tion from Bataan to Britain, ac-
cording to a report received here.

. . . more vegetables, less meat.
less than it is at the present time,’’
in testimony before the senate ap-
propriations committee.
Because of the increasing demand
for proteins and fats — including
meat, dairy products and some oil
crops—from our military forces and
our Allies, Mr. Wickard said the
American people will probably have
to live more on vegetable fats and
proteins than they formerly did.
“We have about reached the place
now where we cannot expand bur
meat production any more,” he said,
“because we are not going to have
enough of the basic element—feed—
to support much more increase.”
LABOR MANHUNT:
French Fight Nazis
Adolf Hitler’s desperate need for
manpower had caused the Nazi to
put more than usual pressure on
the collaborative Laval regime for
more French workers.
The German demand had been
for 400,000 men. When Nazi sol-
diers abetted by the Vichy govern-
ment set out to meet this goal, the
trouble started.
Street fighting, guerrilla tactics
and sabotage were the French Pa-
triots’ answer to this effort to bol-
ster Germany’s waning manpower
resources. Reports received by the
Fighting French in London indicat-
ed that in a single 72-hour uprising,
more than 350 German soldiers had
been killed.
Swift and cruel were the reprisals
taken for this insubordination. But
the repressive measures only served
to fan the flames of French hatred
against the German conquerors.

PACIFIC FRONT:
Jap Power Wanes
In the Far Eastern war theater,
reports from China disclosed that
the main Japanese offensive in
Western Yunnan province along the
old Burma road had been halted on
the west bank of the Salween river.
Waning enemy air power in the
Burma-China area was indicated by
Allied reports that repeated attacks
by American and British fliers on
Jap objectives had failed to lure any
Nipponese planes into battle.
On the Solomon Islands battle-
front, American planes roved to the
northward raiding Kahili, Buin and
Ballale in the Shortland Islands area
and Viru Harbor in New Georgia.
The Japs retaliated with a raid on
Tulagi close to Guadalcanal.
Summarizing the situation in the
Pacific,-Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox said that American forces are
stronger than ever before in the
Solomon Islands sector while
throughout the South Pacific, the
Japs are having increasing difficul-
ty in supplying their island bases.
Without adequate shipping, the
secretary explained, the Japs cannot
maintain their South Pacific base?
and face further retirement.

DRAFT:
Plan to Save Farmers
Plans of the administration to take
the pressure of the draft off the
nation’s shortaged pool of farm la-
bor apparently contemplate the in-
duction of unmarried men over 38
or those in that age group without
dependents. This, at least, was the
interpretation of Washington observ-
ers concerning orders by the War
Manpower commission to the selec-
tive service to reclassify such men
1A beginning May 1.
The Manpower commission’s ac-
tion followed the announcement of a
four-point plan for the deferment of
essential farm labor. It came at a
moment, too, when the congression-
al farm bloc had launched a drive to
clarify the farm labor confusion.
Local draft boards were under or-
ders hereafter to place no more men
in Class 4-H and to reclassify out
of 4-H into 1-A all such men now de-
ferred because over the military age
limit. At the same time draft
boards were ordered to begin re-
classification immediately of all
men over 38 who may become eligi-
ble for class 2-C or 3-C because con-
nected with farm work.

Pull the Trigger on
Constipation, with
Ease for Stomach, too
When constipation brings on discom-
fort after meals, stomach upset, bloating,
dizzy spells, gas, coated tongue, and bad
breath, your stomach is probably “crying
the blues” because your bowels don’t
move. It calls for Laxative-Senna to pull
the trigger on those lazy bowels, com-
bined with Syrup Pepsin for perfect ease
to your stomach in taking. For years,
many Doctors have given pepsin prepa-
rations in their prescriptions to make
medicine more agreeable to a touchy
stomach. So be sure your laxative con-
tains Syrup Pepsin. Insist on Dr. Cald-
well’s Laxative Senna combined with
- Syrup Pepsin; See how wonderfully the
Laxative Senna wakes up lazy nerves and
muscles in your intestines to bring wel-
come relief from constipation. And the
good old Syrup Pepsin makes this laxa-
tive so comfortable and easy on your
stomach. Even finicky children love the
taste of this pleasant family laxative.
Take Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative Senna com-
bined with Syrup Pepsin, as directed on
label or as your doctor advises, and feel
world’s better. Get genuine Dr. Caldwell’s.

ANTI-VICHY:
Action in No. Africa
Increasing evidence that Gen.
Henri Giraud’s North Africa regime
will move steadily further away
from Vichy influences and ever clos-
er to the democratic methods of
the United Nations was seen in the
high commissioner’s summary ac-
tion in repudiating all Petain de-
crees relating to African colonial af-
fairs and liquidating the entire gov-
ernment bureau concerned with re-
strictions on Jews.
“A decree signed in Vichy has no
effect in North Africa,” was Gi-
raud’s terse explanation. “The Ger-
man occupation interrupted the free
exercise of national sovereignty.”
General Giraud’s action followed
that of Governor General Nogues of
French Morocco reinstating govern-
ment workers dismissed under
Vichy’s orders and repealing the ban
on listening to certain foreign broad-
casts. In repealing the Vichy anti-
Semitic decrees, High Commissioner
Giraud prdered General Bounty, who
dealt with Jewish problems, to be
removed from office.
CHINA:
Destiny’s Crossroads
A 10-year reconstruction progran
for China, including the building o
20,000 transport planes, was pre
posed by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-
shek in his book, “China’s Destiny.”
While his wife, Madame Chiang,
was busy winning friends for China
on her visit to the United States, the
Generalissimo disclosed plans call-
ing for 2,460,000 graduates from va-
rious grades of technical schools to
aid in developing postwar China.
