a curt ultimatum from President
Hoosevelt.
The President had served'hotite-

wildcat strike within 48 hours, he
would take “necessary steps” to
safeguard the war effort.
A tangled skein of labor politics
had'complicated the eastern hard
coal situation. Efforts of-John L.
Lewis, president of tlic United Mine
Workers, and the War Labor board
to get the strikers back on the job
had failed. Strike leaders said the
miners had walked out in protest
against a UMW dues increase of 50
cents a month. The strikers, how-

ficial British estimates placed Nazi

Elmer Davis, rtirertor of the Of-
fice of War Information, reported
that German submarines hi)d sunk
more Allied shipping In January
than in December.
A brighter side of the picture
emerged, however, when the Lend-
Lease administration announced that
the United States and. Britain had
sent Russia 5,800 tanks and. 4,600
airplanes up to January 1 and prom-
ised that aid to the Soviet “will grow

Culmina/tirur two month’s
work, rejrionnl OPA offi-
cials in Dallas ordered the
new price revision to replace
the General Maximum Price
Reflation which :4et the
ceiling price of milk for re-
tailers and wholesalers at the
highest price each individual
seller charged in March, 1942.
Ther is no ceiling at the pro
duce level.
Mr. Hofmann pointed out
that the freezing of prices at
the March level, in any in-
stances. caused diversion of
milk from one area with
low ceiling to an area witl^
high ceiling and also caus-
ed diversion of milk from nor-
mal consumption channels to
manufacturing channels.
The new regulation, Mr.
Hofmartn explained, only
sets p maximum price that
can be charged for milk in
this county—wholesalers and
retailers can sell at any price
below the ceiling. Petitions
for adjustments can be made
to the Office of Price Admin-
istration at Dallas, ■ Texas,
Mr. Hofmann said.
Under the maximum price
regulation which revises the
ceiling prices for milk, every
county, parish, city and town
fn Texas, Louisiana, Arkan-
sas, Oklahoma, Missouri and
Raima are placed in either
Class 1, 2, or 3, In Zone 1,
or in Class 1, 2 or 3, in Zone
2. Fayette County is In Claas
3, Zone 1.

Allied airmen had not only strafed
doomed Tripoli, but General Mont-
gomery's British eighth nrmy and
General LeClerc's Fighting French
had constantiytMiarried the retiring
Afrt-n Korps.
In Tunisia the Axis had made
strenuous efforts to cover Rommel's
withdrawal by launching offensive
thrusts against French, positions
southwest of Pond-du-Fnhs.
While Junction of Rommel's army
with those of Nazi Col. Gen. Von
Arnlm would strengthen Axis forces
In Tunisia, the Allies would similarly
be strengthened by the addition of
British and Fighting French troops

PRICE RISE:
Predicted by Brou n
As additional rationing and price
regulations were promulgated, the
American public learned that Price
Administrator Prentiss M. Brown's
direction of the OPA would b« less
dramatic but no less firm than that
of his predecessor Leon Henderson.
Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen
were assured by tho new adminis-
trator, however, that tho OPA would
he operated solely for the protection
of the American people. Frrthkly
acknowledging that price rises were
inevitable, Mr. Brown promised that
such rises would be "slow and well-
ordered. ”

NAZI AIR RAIDS:
RAF If elcomes Reprisals
Trnglc ns was the death of scores
of schobl children in German bomb-
ing raids on London, aviation author-
ities hailed the renewal of Nazi at-
tacks as a further opportunity to
weaken the Axis in the air.
Every raid means a further thin-
ning of Hitler's already over-extend-
ed air forces, the.,se authorities point-
ed out. In the biggest daylight air
assault on London since the 1940 bat-
tle of Britain, the Nazis lost 13 planes
while the British lost two. Because
of improved anti-aircraft defense,
destruction and loss of civilian life
were held to minimum levels.
The German raids have been In
reprisal for gutting attacks on Ber-
lirf by large flights of RAF bombers
raining down four-ton “block bust-
ers” on the Nazi capital, and spew-
ing incendiary bombs that caused
untold damage. British losses on
these raids were comparatively light,
officials revealed.
