m GERMAN MS
1EBIHB
Moscow, Tuesday, Sept 30.
(UP)—The Red air fleet
claimed today that 263 Nazi
planes have been destroyed in
two days of aerial onslaught
which softened up the whole
German line, and war dis-
patches reported that Russian
troops drove 12 German pan-
zer divisions into full retreat
on the central front creating
a vast “graveyard" of Ger-
man tanka.
The high command claimed
that a Russian tank unit in a
northwest sector had slain or
wounded 1,500 German of-
ficers and men, while 600
more enemy casualties were
rolled up in dislodging the
Germans from a stronghold in
the same region.
The morning communique
maid 113 German places were
destroyed Friday and 150 Sat-
urday, while coastal batteries
and warships of the Baltic fleet
sack a German cruiser and two
destroyers instead of the single
cruiser and destroyer reported
earlier.
The battlefront dispatches
toid of Red army troops on the
central front "pursuing" 12
German panzer divisions west
of Brixnsk after capturing two
villages and destroying many
German tanks.
A thin blanket of snow, har-
binger of the bitter winter
creeping down from ihe Arctic;
covered Moscow early Mon-
day. It melted rapidly, to be
followed by lashing rain and
wind. It was one of the cold-
est September bunts here in
many years.
Meteorologists said the far
northern part of the front,
where winter comes much
earlier,- probably already was
snowbound with the inhabi-
tants quartered deep in warm
dugouts. Army reports al-
ready have told of German
suffering in the cold rain and
mud i> the Dvina river area.

The following appeared in a
recent issue of the Texas Out-
look, and was written by Rush-
ing Maiming of this city. Mr.
Manning is Shelby county’s
representative in the Texas
legislature, and also principal
of the Weaver school, located
near this city:
Down in the pines of East
Texas where free speech, free
press, and freedom of religion
are practiced, the people are
enthusiastic about providing
their children with a delicious,
well-balanced noon meal dur-
ing school days. .,
The Weaver school, located
just five miles west of the city
at Timpson in Shelby county,
was one of the ifirst schools to
participate in the school lunch
program in this section of the
state, sponsored by the State
Department of Public Welfare
and through the cooperation
of the Weaver Community
Club. At the beginning of the
proposed project there was

of Czech “Terrorists"
Berlin, Sept. 29. (UP)—In-
formed German quarters re-
ported tonight that six Czechs
had been shot yesterday and
today on charges of “terror
and resistance against the
Reich."
Disclosure of the executions
followed imposition of a state
of emergency in six key areas
of Czechoslovakia and the ar-
rest of Gen. Alois Elias, pre-
mier of the Nazi-dominated
protectorate, on charges of ac-
tivities alleged to be inimical
to Germany.

patch ind ented that disaffec-

Pittsburgh. (UP)—Glamour
giris in India and the Malay
States have it all over their
American counterparts when
it comes to wardrobe*, accord-
ing to Mrs. Carveth Wells, wife
of the well-known explorer.
She said the sarongs of the
Malayan and Indian giris are
ao heavy with gold, the doth with
is sold by the pound. A “two- molasses, to the days of a well-
pound dress," she said, “costs rounded and balanced meal
more than $360." prepared by efficient and corn-
some opposition, because a
certain percentage of the pub-
lic was of the opinion that the
“hot lunches” meant a so-call-
ed “soup line,” and they were
able to prepare lunches for
their children. These people
were quickly convinced of the
advantages of a school lunch
program, and , lunches were
served in this school during
the year 1939-40. The lunches
were -prepared In rooms adja-
cent to classrooms and served
on the desk for the remainder
of the school term.
In September 1940 the
Weaver School together with
the Weaver Community Club
erected a new, modem, up-to-
date cafeteria with kitchen
and dining room combined,
furnished with modem uten-
sils and refrigerator, amply
heated, and with tables and
comfortable seats. The chil-
dren are assembled in a group
to enjoy a well-prepared warm
meal.
School lunch projects are
made posable by foods sup-
plied by the Surplus Commodi-
ties Corporation and by citi-
zens of the district. During the
summer months of 1940 the
Weaver School was able to
contribute enough surplus pro-
duce from its farms and gar-
dens to can 1866 cans of vege-
tables snd meat such as com,
squash, carrots, string beans,
pinto beans, peas, okra, beef,
peaches, pears, cucumber and
beet pickles, vegetable soup,
etc. This of course reduced lo-
cal contributions from about
68c to 25c per pupil per
month. The above produce
has been and is now being sup-
plemented by the following
foods from the Surplus Com-
modities Corporation: evapor-
ated milk, eggs, wheat cereal,
com grits, com meal, raisins,
pinto beans, fresh cabbage,
Irish potatoes, sail pork, smok-
ed bacon, and lard.
A record kept of the weight
of the children for the three
months ending December 20,
1940, shows a net gain of 5.82
pounds per pupil, or 1.94
pounds per pupil per month.

Moscow, Sept 29. (UP)
Fullest possible United States
aid for Bussla in combating
the German war machine was
pledged by W. A. Harriman,
chief of the American mission,
at the opening session of the
momentous tri-power confer-
ence today.
“I have been instructed,”
he said, “to pledge you the
fullest support today, tomor-
row. and as long as the con-
flict lasts.”
“We come with your British
ally with the same object—to
give you every assistance In
your heroic, magnificent re-
sistance against the violent
and unprovoked attack upon
you by Hitler and his cohorts,”
Harriman continued.
“Your success means every-
thing to the American people.
Now let’s get down to work.”
Harriman joined Lord Beav-
erbrook, British supply minis-
ter, and Viacheslav M. Molo-
tov, Russian foreign commis-
sar, in emphasizing the need
of haste if Anglo-American
arms and munitions are to ar-
rive in time to strengthen the
hard-pressed Red army.
Six committees to deal with
military supplies, air supplies,
naval supplies, raw materials,
transportation and Red Cross
and medical supplies were ap-
pointed at the two and a half-
hour session.

FARM PfBEfiMI SUPPORTS
mi m_
College Station.—Near par-
ity prices being received by
farmers for their cotton ate a
result of the over-all farm pro-
gram, Fred Rennels, assistant
AAA administrative officer in
Texas, pointed out this week.,
“The cotton picture still
Isn’t all rosy,” the AAA offi-
cial said. “We have a tre-
mendous carry-over of cotton,
a year’s supply over and above
this year’s production. Most of
our foreign markets still are
cut off by the war. Exports in
the year just ended didn’t
amount to much more than a
million bales, and prospects for
the current year are not much
better.”
Since the government has
guaranteed a minimum price
for cotton this year with the
85 percent of parity loan, the
Texas cotton farmer knows
when he takes his bale to mar-
ket approximately what he
will receive and he knows the
price will be fair, Rennels said.
‘1 hesitate to think what
the price of cotton would be
without the loan,” he continu-
ed. “I know the cotton farm-
er realizes that the price he is
getting for his eotton is baaed
on the loan, and I know be
realizes, also, that without the
full operations of the farm
program, the loan would be
impossible.”
Rennels pointed out that
cotton fanners this year prob-
ably would be asked again to
vote upon cotton marketing
quotas as s means of adjusting
the cotton supply to demand.
Government loans cannot be
offered in any crop year in
which quotas are rejected by
the growers.
Rennels cited a recent speech
by I. W. Duggan, director of
the Southern division of the
AAA, in which the director
pointed out that because of
the large carry-over of Ameri-
can cotton in this country and
the large stocks of cotton in
the outside world, the price of
American cotton would be ex-
ceedingly low in the absence
of the AAA program.

Washington, Sept. 29. (UP)
—Chairman Marriner 8. Ec-
cles of the Federal Reserve
Board declared today that the
United States cannot escape
runaway inflation without
heavier taxes than those now
provided, and some form of
control of wages aad farm
prices.
Eccles also said that the
threat of inflation may make
"advisable” the extension at
the 40-hour work week to 48
hours.
Testifying oa the adminis-
tration’* proposed price con-
trol biU before the House
banking committee, Eccles Im-
plied that the suggested legis-
lation—which does not at-
tempt to curb wage—does not
go far enough.
Other administration spokes-
men have opposed wage and
stringent agricultural price
controls at this time. The ad-
ministration bill would prohi-
bit the fixing of farm prices at
less than 110 per cant of
parity.
Eccles told the committee
that all strikes are "intolerable
in times of national peril,”
since normal national econo-
my, as well as the defense pro-
gram, requires full utilization
of the nation’s manpower.
