Here’s the ‘Big Push’ as Seen By

worthy of all the compliments being
extended you. Best wishes for a '
over these sectors months ago . . .
and you notice that in death there,
isn’t a great deal of difference
friendly and enemy bodies.
It means seeing the flamethrowers
ahead and then later seeing the char-
red remains of those who met the
flamethrowers.
(There are comparatively
wounded by flamethrowers,
it strikes a searing sheet of flame
velopes the soldier sucking out his
life with a sudden ssstttt, like a moth
caught in a candle flame. The dead
left behind by the flamethrower sel-
dom have that smell of death that
sickens the air you breathe else-
where.)
Sometimes a service call can be avoided if a few
simple checks are made first. With servicemen extra
busy these days, each owner can be of extreme help,
under present wartime conditions, by avoiding un-
necessary calls which use up precious time, tires
and gasoline. If trouble develops, check these things:

Reminders
Meats, Fats — Red stamps
through T8, good indefinitely. U8,
V8 and W8 become valid June 4 and
remain good indefinitely.
Processed Foods—Red stamps
through V8 good indefinitely.
Sugar—Sugar stamps 30 and
each good for five pounds indefinite-
ly. Sugar stamp 40 good for five
pounds of canning sugar through
February, next year.
Sugar stamp 37 in War Ration
Book 4 will never be used, OPA an-
nounced. Because many housewives
mistakenly sent this stamp to their
local boards when applying for home
canning sugar, instead of the correct
stamp — spare stamp 37 — OPA has
announced that sugar stamp 37 will
not be used at all, so that no one will
suffer for this mistake.
Gasoline—In states outside the East
Coast area, A-ll coupons good
through June 21.
Shoes—Airplane stams
good indefinitely.
OWI Reports on Food Situation
Although farm population of the
United States is four million less than
during the last war, American farm-
ers produced 47 percent more food in
1943 than in 1918, the Office of War
Information said in reporting need
for four million volunteer farm
workers until after harvest this year.
With the aid of the War Food Ad-
ministration and the Office of Price
Administration, OWI reported on the
current food situation. Comparing
this year with last—apples, peaches,
pears and cherries will be more plen-
tiful; slightly less fluid milk and
cream will be consumed; less chicken
will be available; eggs will continue
be plentiful. Other highlights—war-
time increases of income and food
have enabled millions of Americans
to increase their diets; rationing will
be needed until the war is won; cur-
NEW YORK. — Professor Albert
Einstein urged Sunday the organiza-
tion of intellectual workers along
lines being followed by working
classes for the protection of their
economic status and in the interests
of society as a whole.
In a statement to the National
Wartime Conference, opening here
next Friday, he said lack of organi-
zation has resulted in intellectual
workers being less well protected
against arbitrariness and exploitation
than members of any other calling.
Professor Einstein expressed belief
that the most important service an
organization of such workers could
perform at this time would be to en-
lighten the majority of the need for
international security.
Dr. Einstein said an organization of
intellectual workers could perform
an outstandingly important task now
by fighting for establishment of a
superinternational political force as a
protection against fresh wars of ag-
gression.

Then the Picture Widens
It means lying in the dust of the-
roads waiting the next order to move
up . . . and foi’ once the length of
the wait doesn’t irritate so much . . .
it means not knowing how the push is
going anywhere except where you.
are until gradually the news drifts
that it’s going ahead everywhere.
And then as you move up ‘again,
and again the strange stimulus of
victory begins to seep into that void,
which was your conscious self before
it was drained dry of all sense of
feeling.
And finally a little bitterly bought..
pride begins to dawn on you and a
little perspective begins to come
back. Then for the first time since-
the jumpoff you start to scent the
scope of the big push as the strate-
gists see it rather than as you saw it..
CITATION NO. 52757

To: Q. Jane Jones, a widow, Greet-
ing:
You are commanded to appear and

fore 10 o’clock A. M., before the

wit: Lot No. One (1), in Block No.

said date plaintiff was in peaceable
possession of said property; and that
afterwards on the 2nd day of Janu-

widow, unlawfully entered upon and
dispossessed plaintiff of such prem-
ises and withholds from him the pos-
session thereof, Plaintiff further al-

to the title to said property consti-
tutes a cloud upon plaintiff’s title,

fendant be served as provided by law,
by citation by publication, and that
upon hearing the full fee simple title
to said property be vested in the
plaintiff; and that clouds cast upon

ON THE ITALIAN FRONT.—You
read about the big push in the papers.
Maybe you understand what it means
to the soldier, maybe you don’t being
as far from Italy as you are.
Anyhow, here are a few notes
which have nothing to do with maps
and pins or world strategy but which
are part of the big push just the
same:
It means starting forward in the
night through barbed wire, mine-
fields and booby traps which have
been months in preparation......
seeing out of the corner of your eye
but refusing to look when bursts of
exploding flame mark the spot to
right of left where someone took his
last step . . . gritting your teeth,
swallowing—but still going forward.
Then the Barrages
(In some cases our engineers have
stealthily cleared out minefields
ahead of the troops in the night, and
when the men charged across them
they found the Germans had re-sown
the mines just as stealthily.)
It means when the enemy alerts to
the advance the barrages begin . . .
they close in on you shaking and
wrecking the whole world . . . and
then you disperse and take cover.
There is no cover so you scratch
frantically at the dirt to get just a lit-
tle protection.
(You used to read about such bar-
rages and imagine yourself in the
middle of them, but you always
thought about the shells bursting
around you. . . . Now you know
that often they don’t just fall around
you—and you know the next one
probably will burst right on you.)
It means listening to the cries of
the wounded and not being able to
turn back and help them. . . and
you’re not sure that maybe it isn’t
easier to keep going ahead than to
face the horror of what happened to
those who now remain behind.
The Flamethrowers
It means hearing the German ma-
chine guns and machine pistols firing
from well protected nests somewhere
ahead . . . and knowing that some-
one will have to go in and try to get
them . . . that it may be you and if
it is the odds are that you’ll never go
home again.
It means stepping on bodies at
night and over oi' around them in
daylight. . . . Some are newly slain
bodies but not all; some are bloated
remains of men who died fighting
rent point-free meats will remain
reasonably plentiful, with some cuts
of better grades less plentiful; the
present point holiday on canned veg-
etables is only temporary and on
some meats may be temporary; the
1943-44 citrus fruit production will be
10 percent higher than last year; the
last half of 1944 will show less butter
and lard, but more margarine, short-
ening and vegetable oils during the
first half; sugar supply is adequate,
but no increase in household allot-
ments is in sight this yeai< For nu-
tritional reasons, the report recom-
mends home production of vitamin
C-rich foods, such as tomatoes, and
consumption of milk, meat and en-
riched cereals as sources of riboflavin
and niacin.
Weather Stripping For Homes
Weather stripping felt and the
wood to keep stripping rigid will be
in good supply at retail stores, the
War Production Board said. A fair
amount of zinc for stripping double
hung windows will be available, as
well as insulating mineral wool and
asphalt roofing, which should be or-
dered now, before the Fall rush for
these materials, WPB says. Rubber
and copper weather stripping are not
available for the individual con-
sumer.
Reemployment For Veterans
To be entitled to reemployment
rights under the Selective Training
and Service Act of 1940, the veteran
must be honorably discharged and
must apply for reemployment “with-
in 40 days after he is relieved from”
training and service, according to Na-
tional Headquarters of Selective
Service. A soldier in inactive status
and transferred to the Enlisted Re-
serve Corps at his own request to
engage in essential industry, loses his
reemployment rights if he does not
apply to his former employer for re-
instatement within 40 days after his
transfer. A veteran has recourse to
the courts to collect back pay if his
reinstatement is improperly
by the employer.
Round-Up
After the recent lowering
age limits for Merchant
trainees, more than 7,000 young men,
between 16 and 17% years old, ap-
plied at U. S. Maritime Service en-
rollment offices, and about 600 have
already been ordered to report to
training stations. . . . All War Food
Administration restrictions of farm
slaughter of livestock and delivery of
meat has been removed.
WPB reports—a proposal for lim-
ited resumption of the manufacture
of shotguns, rifles, pistols and re-
volvers has been submitted to WPB. .
There is no prospect of authorizing
the production of any new radio re-
ceiving sets for civilians this year. . .
A tentative production goal of 9,464,-
000 tons of normal superphosphate
for the agricultural year, 1944-45, has
been approved by the Chemicals Bu-
reau.
OPA says watermelon prices to be
established soon will mean a sharp
reduction at retail from last season’s
inflated prices. . . Lard has been
removed from all rationing restric-
tions, since the present supply is con-
sidered adequate for all civilian
needs. . . The old-type B and C gas-
oline ration coupons—B^2 and C-2
without serial numbers—may not be
used by consumers on and after June
1.
