WHEAT:
/jig Crop
With frequent spring rains over
much of the country resulting in
good plant development and im-
provement in yield outlook, the V. S.
department of agriculture predicted
n 1944 winter wheat crop of SS2.275,
000 bushels us compared with an
earlier estimate of 802.000,000 and u
1W3 harvest of 520,006,000.
On the basis of 40,0*111,00(1 acres
grown, yields are expected to aver-
age 16 2 bushels per acre, compared
with 55.9 last year and the 1933-’42
average of 15.
Since January 1, the USDA re-
ported, rainfall has replenished soil
moisture supply, offsetting deficien-
cies at seeding time last fall in
much of the Great Plains area. Fail-
ure of plants to germinate or sur-
vive because of dryness has been
marked in the western portion of
the Plains states, USDA said, and
floods have damaged stands in the
Mississippi and Missouri river
sins.

{ASIA:
Chinese Set Buck
! Gallant China’# defenders took one
asore step back In the eastern belt
of their country as JO,000 Japanese
•imported by strong reinforcements
drove beyond the Peiping-Hankow
railroad, upon which they tightened
their hold.
As the Chinese fell back, Lieut.-
Gen. Joseph Stilwell’t mixed U. S.
and Chinese troops hacked their way
forward in north Burma, far to die
southwest of the main Chinese bat-
tleground. Purpose of General St.il-
weU’s offensive was to clear the
Lcdo road, over which supplies could
he trucked into sorely pressed China
from the southwestern corner of the
country.
By grasping the Peiping-Hankow
railroad, the Japs consolidated their
position* in eastern China, which ex-
tend inland from the sea coast. It
is In this rich region that the cagey
enemy has established heavy indus-
try to utilize the country's abundant
manpower and natural resources.
EUROPE:
First Blow
Near Inner Lines
As U. S. army and navy forces
drew closer to the Philippines and
Indies within the Japs’ inner de-
fensive ring, Yanl.ce airmen con-
*fmied to hammer at the enei.'y's
tottering outer fortifications guard-
ing these prized conquests.
To the west of Hollandia, army
fliers pounded at Jap installations
Taking the first crack at Hitler’s
Fortress Europe in the expected
tbree-headed offensive from the
west, south and east, the U. S. and
British armies in Italy launched a
powerful drive against German
Gustav line below An/.io
In the west. Allied bombers
poured thousands of tons of ex-
plosives on the Nazis’ rail network
in France, Belgium and Germany,
over which anti-invasion Comdr.
Erwin Rommel must shuttle troops
and supplies to meet the assault
against his coastal defense. In Rus-
sia, the Reds reportedly moved
troops up hr line for a big offensive
to coincide with western operations.
Under command of Britain's Gen.
Harold Alexander, the Allied push
in Italy up the broad valleys lead-
ing to Rome got underway after a
thunderous artillery bombardment,
while the Nazis tried to neutralize
other Allied forces massed on the
Anzio beachhead in their rear to the
northwest.
U. S. VS. WARD'S:
Nothing Settled
Although government troops
marched in and out of Montgomery
Ward & Company’s Chicago plant
arousing the nation to a pitch over
the dramatic course of events, noth-
ing, it seemed, had been settled.
An election had been held to de-
termine the CIO United Mail Order,
Warehouse and Retail Employees’
union right to bargain collectively
for the company workers, but
Ward’s had never objected to such
an election and stood ready, as pre-
viously, to negotiate with the union.
Left, unsettled, however, was
Ward's objection to extension of the
maintenance of membership con-
tract with the union, which provides
that its members must remain in
good standing for the life of the
agreement.
There was much ado before elec-
tion officials recognized Oofling M.
Arshtnlan’s quaint little bungalow
atop a 50-foot tree in Montclair,
N. J., as a legal residence, entitling
him to vote.
The rug merchant, who has barred
visitors from his roost, has lived
In the tree-tops since 1936.
SCIENCE:
Spoiled Cantaloupe
Tite U. S. department of agricul-
ture’s research laboratory at. Peoria,
111., continues as one of the centers
of penicillin development, with the
latest discovery that spoiled cante-
loupe produces a mold efficient in
making the wonder drug
Although it is little known, British
Doctors Heatley and Florey made
the Peoria lab their workshop In de-
veloping methods of increasing peni-
cillin production after they had been
bombed out of London in 1941.
The discovery of the spoiled enn-
teloupe mold came only after tee
laboratory's scientists had studied
growths on cheese, fruits and other
foods as part of a search for a mold
from which much of the penicillin
would not be lost during separation
of the drug from the liquid in which
d develops.

startled exhalation, stopped the
stealthy form which had suddenly

short of his midriff. There was no

visible to each other in the black,

more steady. He called the guard.
There was the crescendo seuff-
scuff-scufl of hurrying feet and a
moment later, the sentry was patrol-

on the alert. . . .
"For the fifth time, I ask you
where you came from,” the angry
colonel demanded. For the fifth
time came >he sarne answer from
the prisoner in the wet jungle suit.
"Private, first class, James
O’Fallon. Serial No 3030498.”
"Take him away.” said the
colonel finally, "he can slay in the

The guards hustled No. 3030496 off

saw three other men lying peace-
fully on the floor arrayed like him.

30 to 3" years of age by indefinitely
deferring them if engaged in es-

At the sarne time, it was ruled that
men in toe 28 to 29 year age group
were to be eligible for six-month
deferments if found to be necessary

tial occupation. Deferments in the 10
to 25 year age group will continue
to be confined to strictly key-men.
In indefinitely deferring men in

to go by tiie War Manpower com-
mission's list of necessary jobs, but
to make determinations of their own.
A new process of extracting oil
from .tur.g nuts may result in the
use of the residue as a protein feed
for livestock as well as a material
for plastics, Chemist R. S. McKin-
ney of the U. S. department of ag-
riculture declared.
Under the old system of exit ac-
tion through pressing, only about 85
per cent of the oil from the nut was
obtained, McKinney said. By re-

The Japs did this kind of thing at
the beginning of the war and we
thought it incredible. The British did
it later with their brilliant "com-
mandos.”
The old name for it is guerilla
warfare . . . fighting behind the
lines, or in the more official lan-
guage of an article by Douglas
Smith in that t>enchant military
publication, the Cavalry Journal, "a
phase in trained armed warfare that
concentrates on destruction (the
raiders destroy, the scouts merely
get information) of enemy person-
nel and equipment in the enemy's
