AGRICULTURE:
Food Supply
Civiliai food applies during 1944
shc.'.;Id b< '.he same as last year
with farmers continuing record
brc-a, ing performances, War Food
Administrator Marvin Jones said,
but stocks of milk, cheese and fats
may be <:'.:<jhtly less.
At the end of 1943. the U. S. had
the largest livestock inventory in
history, Jones said, with 19 per cent
more hogs and 3 per cent more cat-
tle. although sheep and lamb num-
bers were down 4 per cent.
With fanners urged to cultivate
IB,000,000 more acres than last year,
they still face manpower problems,
Jones related. The outlook for pro-
duction of farm machinery and
fertilizer have improved, he added.
Revealing $350,000,000 was spent
for supporting farm prices in 1943,
Jones said they served the double
purpose of offering incentive for pro-
duction and holding down consumer
costs.
Postwar Outlook
Addressing the National Associa-
tion of Mutual Insurance companies
in Chicago. Secretary of Agriculture
Claude R. Wiekard declared post-
war America's exportable surplus of
farm commodities would be 15 per
cent of production.
Asserting the figure resulted after
estimating increased domestic de-
mand for consumption and industry,
Wiekard said: "Again we are either
roing to have to extend credit or
give agricultural products to other
nations, or we re going to h;,ve to
accept goods and services in ex-
change."
Advances in agricultural produc-
tion will pose a major problem in
postwar America, Wiekard said, re-
marking that with only moderate de-
mand and usual educational meth-
ods. yields will jump up 40 per cent
in six years.
WAGES:
Pe.fi Sticks
Testifying before the senate bank-
ing committee considering extension
of rice control after June 30, War
Labor Board Chairman William H.
Davis declared that the WLB in-
tended to stand by its "Little Steel
formula" limiting wage increases to
15 per cent over January 1941, lev-
els. but only if living costs remain
relatively stabilized.
To assure such stabilization, Davis
recommended continuance of con-
sumer subsidies. Prohibition of sub-
sidies would result in appreciable
rises in basic commodities and
make present wages inadequate,
Davis said.
Davis opposed suggestions that
wages be limited, declaring such ac-
tion would work against promotions
nnd upgradinps, and discourage
shifts to industry.
WORLD RELIEF:
Authorize V1SRRA
By overwhelming vote, congress
put itself on record for participat-
ing in world relief by authorizing
expenditures of $1,350,000,000 for the
United Nations Relief and Rehabil-
itation administration to help the
people of occupied countries get
back on their feet following their
liberation.
Although UNRRA will feed, clothe
and restore essential services in the
stricken countries, it will do so
only for the purpose of getting the
people started in rebuilding their ag-
ricultural and industrial economy.
Matching the U. S. contribution, 43
other United Nations will put about
$650.000,000
PACIFIC:
Japs Invado India
While Adm. Louis Mountbattcn's
Southeast Asia command coped with
a strong Jap drive into eastern Bur-
ma, Gen. Douglas MacArthur's staff
concentrated on weakening the en-
emy's hoi'' on New Guinea with
heavy aerial attacks against ship-
ping and gun positions.
Springing unnoticed from the jun-
gle, a Jap force pressing far inland
into Ind.u pointed at Imphal, key
to the communicatior i line feeding
Lieut. Gen. Joseph SUlwell's Chi-
nese-American troops opening a new
supply route to China in northeast-
ern Burma. While the Allies maneu-
vered to weather this charge, two
other Jap columns aimed at Irnphal
farther to the north.
In New Guinea. Allied planes
ripped the northeastern coastal ship-
ping route while Aussie and U. S.
doughboys advanced northward
toward the big base of Madang over
craggy foothills.
EUROPE:
Take Over Balkans
Germany made her final prepara-
tions for an anticipated double-bar-
reled attack against the continent
by the Allies by integrating Hun-
gary, Rumania and Bulgaria into
the Nazi war machine to provide a
common poo! of men and resources.
The Nazis' incorporation of the
Balkans came as the Russ drew
closer to the Hungarian border by
stabbing deeper into prewar Poland
and surged onward to the Rumani-
an boundary by chewing off Ger-
many's last grip in the Ukraine.
As Germany moved to utilize the
Hungarian, Rumanian and Bulgari-
an armies of over a half million
men and draw upon the agricultural
and industrial resources of these
countries, Nazi troops streamed
eastward to take up the fight along
the newly organized battiefront.
BIG BUSINESS:
Report Incomes
With war orders accounting for
66 per cent of the business. Inter-
national Harvester had gross income
of $448,035.041 and profit of $25.692.-
944 for its fiscal year ending October
31, 1943, For the 12 months ending
July I, 1945, the company has been
authorized to use 20 per cent more
material for farm machinery.
Overcoming merchandising dif-
ficulties, America's No. 1 mail or-
der house. Scars, Roebuck 4 Co.,
took in $852,.r>!H>,706 and cleared $33.-
800,087 in 1943 Although shortages
prevail, the quality <>f goods has im-
proved in recent months, President
Arthur S. Barrows said.
In reporting sales of $552.000,000
and profit of ?7 403.000 in 1943. Wil-
son Si Co. disclosed extensive de-
velopments in new merit propar. -
tions and packing, such as boneless
beef and dehydrated corned beef,
which should have wide markets
after the war.
JAPAN:
Organize Workers
Again Pren. er Gen. Ilideki Tojo
told the Jap: <e parliament that
the war situation was critical, but
this time he ur rlined its gravity
by calling for ti e establishment of
military discipline in industry, un-
der which an entire factory group
could be puni.-i' d for a single work-
er's 'Tense.
l>.der Tojo's plan, workers would
be organized under a system of mil-
itary rank, with superior officers
having the authority to punish em-
ployees from the boss down.
Heretofore conscripted for labor
service for only four months of the
year, all Japanese high school and
college students will now be subject
to such duly t<f any necessary peri-
ods.
TV A:
Under Fire
Tennessee's lank Sen. Kenneth
McKcllar took his battle against
present TVA financial policies to the
floor of the senate, demanding that
the big one billioii dollar government
power project be compelled to op-
erate altogether on direct appropri-
ations from congress and turn over
its revolving fund to the U S treas-
ury.
Long at odHs with TVA's Chair-
man David Lilicnthal because of the
latter's alleged political activities
against him, S( nator McKellar said
Jerry Tough
While the Germans moved quick-
ly to mend their fences in the Bal-
kans they more than had their
hands full in Italy and the west.
Around Cassino Jerry clung stub-
bornly to his ground to block the
broad highway to Rome, fighting

desperately in the hilly country to
dominate the heights from which he
could pour his deadly urtillery fire
upon Allied troops maneuvering he-
lo"/.
In the west, the Allies sent fleets
of bombers against France and Ger-
many to rip defenses and railways j
over which troops and supplies could
be shuttled and blast factories turn- i
ing cut Axis armament.
H IGHLIGHTS
in the week's newt
OOLF BALLS: About 400 tons of
bala ta, the tough gum used to cover
golf balls, hss been released by the
War Production board. It Is show-
ing signs of deterioration and is un-
j tuHcb!" for war purposes. Manu-
j lecturers of golf balls say that they
do not liase materials for centers
on hand and lift much for windings,
so the bal a ta docs not mean any new
balls in the immediate future.
BOWLING: Fewer perfect scores
were bowled this season than for a
good while back, the American
Bowling Congress reports. In 1M0
there were 284 perfect games in
ABC sanctioned competition, the all-
time high. In 1042 the score dropped
to 228, and in 1943 It slumped to
187. This season thcie were only
84 perfect gsmes, although 1,675
more teams were accredited.
David Llllenthal and Sen. McKcllar
congress should retain supervision
over TVA funds to determine their
proper expenditure.
Taking up the cudgels for TVA,
Alabama's Sen Lister Hill argued
that acceptance of McKellar's pro-
posal would mean congress would
have to pass on all of TVA's tech-
nical operations, complicating pro-
cedure witji possible paralysis of
service.
SOUTH AMERICA:
I Jruguayan Nationalists
With the ejection of pro-Allied
ministers in the Uruguayan cabinet
of President Gen Higinio Morlnigo
and ardent nationalists' seizure of
control of that country, ultra-neutral
Argentina's isolation in South Amer-
ican politice appeared at an ending
Action of the Uruguayan nation-
alists was aimed at promoting closer
relations with Argentina, which has
resisted pressure to go to war
against the Axis, insisting on it-
sovereign right to regulate its own
foreign policies.
But like Chile and Bolivia which
also have recognized the Argentine
regime, Uruguay sought to remain
on friendly terms with the U. S as
well, and leave no grounds i'<r a
break by any illegal char ges in gov-
ernment
RECONDITIONING:
Heal Quickly
To heal the wounded quickly and
well and restore them to suitable
military duty, the army has expand-
ed its reconditioning program, uti-
lizing education, occupation and rec-
reation
Point of the program is to prevent
the patients from deteriorating men-
tally while recuperating physically,
as is often the case even in civilian
treatment, and to instill them with
the knowledge that they are keeping
pace with their buddies In con-
valescing.
Establishment of personnel reas-
signment centers at Camp Butner,
N. C.. Fort Sam Houston, Texas,
and Camp White, Ore., assures the
recovered soldier of placement in a
position more suitable to his con-
dition.
SYNTHETIC RUBBER
America's productive capacity for
synthetic rubber is now so great
that the United States csn now hold
its ground in dealing with British
and Dutch organizations that con*
trolled the East Indian plantations
before the Jsps' invasion, William
Jeffers. former U S. rubber control-
ler. declared
Jeffi predicted that American

be able t" turn out a synthetic rub-
