RUSSIA:
Keep Ukrainian Grip
Holding their grip on the western
Ukraine, German forces struck back
at the Russians to retake the vital
rail hub of Korosten in their slow
drive on Kiev.
Capture of Korosten gave the Ger-
mans their second important com-
munications point in the region, the
rail center of Zhitomir having pre-
viously fallen. Both centers are situ-
ated on Russia’s last north-south rail
line, and also command lines run-
ning west into prewar Poland.
As the Germans increased their
pressure on the rich rural province
of Kiev which they have always fan-
cied, they pulled their lines in to the
north, approximately 300,000 Nazis
reportedly retiring from Gomel. As
they fell back, the Reds tried futile-
ly to seal off their escape corridor.
In the Crimea which commands
the Black Sea, the Axis were report-
ed withdrawing Rumanian troops,
thousands already having been evac-
uated.

CANADA:
To Resettle Vets
To give its returning soldiers the
opportunity to get into productive
enterprise after the war, the Cana-
dian government will spend upwards
of 400 million dollars to buy land
and chattels to resell to vets at 53
per cent of total cost.
Under the Canadian Land Vet-
erans act, maximum cost of land and
buildings is $4,800 and of chattels
$1,200. Of the $6,000 outlay, the vet
will subscribe a minimum of $480,
or 10 per cent of the cost of land
and buildings, then pays off the bal-
ance of $3,200, or two-thirds of the
cost of land and buildings, at 3% per
cent interest.
Designed to accommodate 100,000
vets, plans call for confining full
time farm operations to experienced
hands, with other kinds of trades-
men allowed to purchase small
homes with acreage outside of ur-
ban areas at a cost of $2,500 to $4,000.
WORLD RELIEF:
U. S. Takes Lead
To the U. S. will go the lion’s
share of providing funds for the 2%2
billion dollar United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation administration
program adopted in meetings at At-
lantic City, N. J.
Aim of the UNRRA under General
Director Herbert Lehman of the U.
S., is to feed and clothe the im-
poverished masses in countries
wrested from the Axis; resettle peo-
ple shifted to other localities by the
Axis in their native lands, and to
offer means for reconstructing farms
and industry.
With unoccupied countries figured
to contribute 1 per cent of their na-
tional income for the UNRRA work,
the U. S. will advance approximate-
ly 1% billion dollars; the United
Kingdom, about 320 million dollars;
and Canada 90 million dollars.
LEND-LEASE
Up to August 31, 1943, Australia
has contributed goods and services
valued at over a quarter billion dol-
lars in reverse lend-lease to the Unit-
ed States. Much of this repayment
is in form of food for U. S. soldiers
stationed in and around Australia.
A total of 146,298 tons of food and
eight million clothing items were
provided.
Other lend-lease goods included
technical equipment, trucks, air-
craft supplies, and communications
supplies.

COAL:
Raised Prices
While southern operators balked
at signing the new contract calling
for a nine-hour day, with pay for
15 minutes travel time, Stabilization
Director Fred Vinson authorized
average increases of 17 cents a ton
for bituminous and 62 cents a ton
for anthracite coal to cover the ex-
tra wage costs.
Formulated by Interior Secretary
Harold Ickes and United Mine Work-
■ er Chieftain John L. Lewis, the new
pact was attacked by the southern
operators as failing to provide eight
hours of production in cases where
more than 45 minutes are required
for travel. Replying, Ickes said an-
nouncement of the new contract
was followed by a record output of
12,700,000 tons in one week, tops for
16 years.
Although the price increase on soft
coal averages 17 cents a ton, actual
costs vary from 10 cents in Ala-
bama, parts of Georgia and Ten-
nessee, and Utah and Montana, to
50 cents in Michigan and California
and part of New Mexico.
WHEAT SUBSIDIES:
Payments Set
To hold down the price of bread,
government agencies moved in two
directions, with the Defense Supplies
corporation announcing wheat sub-
sidy payments to millers and the
OPA establishing flour ceilings.
For all wheat ground in the Pacific
coast area, the DFS will pay 14 cents
a bushel. Outside of the Pacific
region, 16 cents per bushel will be
paid on hard wheat, 5%2 cents a
bushel on soft wheat, and 6 cents a
bushel on durum wheat.
As a basis for payment, DFS an-
nounced that millers must subtract
the current market prices for wheat
from the price used by OPA in fig-
uring flour ceilings. Payments will
be made to millers each month, with
disbursements based on the rate in
effect at the time the flour is sold.
Flour Ceilings
Under new OPA regulation, maxi-
mum prices were established for all
kinds of wheat flour on the millers’
level, with the family product rang-
ing from $3.70 ; nundred pounds in
western Colorado to $5.23 in North
Carolina.
Prices on hard wheat flour are
highest in the Middle West produc-
ing section, with Iowa’s ceilings on
low and high protein output $3.31 and
$3.38 per hundred pounds; Illinois,
Wisconsin and northern Michigan,
$3.34 and $3.54, and Minnesota, $3.34
and $3.54, plus a proportional rail
rate from Minneapolis. .
Delivered prices on cake flour and
other soft wheat bakery flour milled
in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Mon-
tana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Min-
nesota, Wisconsin or Iowa were set
at $3.67 and $3.77 a hundred pounds,
plus the rail rate from Spokane.
In other states, prices vary from
$4 to $4.90 for cake flour, and $3.10
and $4.31 for soft wheat bakery flour.

When- you see news photos of
soldiers “off duty” in camp or be- I
hind the battle-lines—notice how
often you’ll see them smoking a
cigarette. There’s a good reason
for that. Army officials say that
cigarettes are an appreciable fac-
tor in maintaining morale—and
the soldiers themselves add that a
carton of cigarettes from home is
always welcome. What brand?.
Well, sales, records in Post Ex-
changes and Canteens show that
Camels are the favorite cigarette
with men in all the services.
Though there are Post Office re-
strictions on packages to overseas
Army men, you can still send
Camels to soldiers in the U. . S.,
and to Sailors, Marines, and Coast
Guardsmen wherever they are.—

Left to right: Stalin, FDR and Churchill.
Never had the rumor mill* been so busy grinding out stories as in
those days preceding the official announcement of the meeting of the
heads of state of United States, Russia, Great Britain and China. First
semi-official clearance on the announcement came through a story re-
leased by Reuters (British news agency) which indicated that these
leaders were meeting in the Near East.
Political problems of the final phase of the war in Europe and the
subsequent peace were the main topics of discussion. A story out of
Stockholm, Sweden, reported that President Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill and President Chiang Kai-shek of China conferred first in the
shadows of Egypt’s pyramids before proceeding to the discussions with
Premier Stalin.
In the first conference the relationship of the three nations to the
war in the Far East kept the leaders busy. But when Stalin and his staff
entered the picture the more immediate questions concerning Germany’s
status occupied the spotlight.

ITALY:
Allies Gain
Rallying under Gen. Bernard
Montgomery’s cry of “On to Rome!”
Britain’s Eighth army smashed into
the eastern anchor of the Germans’
winter line in southern Italy, ad-
vancing under cover of heavy artil-
lery and aerial bombardment.
Shaken by the fury of Montgom-
ery’s usual tactics of massing su-
perior fire power on enemy positions
and then moving forward after
lengthy barrages, the German lines
buckled, and the Eighth army took
the whole of the high ridge overlook-
ing the tiny Sangro river and its flat
1 alley.
The Eighth army’s drive focused
on the Adriatic coastal port of Pes-
cara, from whence a highway cuts
across the Italian peninsula to
Rome. By sweeping northward, the
British also threatened to work to
the rear of the Germans’ mountain
posts to the west, where Lieut. Gen.
Mark Clark’s Fifth army bucked
against stiff defenses guarding the
85 mile road to Rome.
4-H:
Nation9 s Finest
Healthy, apple-cheeked young ru-
ral America met for the 22nd nation-
al 4-H Club congress in Chicago,
there to hear that the club’s 1,700,-
000 members had raised five million
bushels of war garden produce, nine
million poultry, 90,000 head of dairy
cattle, 600,000 head of livestock, 12
million pounds of peanuts, soybeans
and other legumes, and canned 15
million jars of products..
In addition to their production
feats, the 800 delegates learned that
during the last year, 4-H members
sold or purchased more than $25,000,-
000 worth of war bonds and stamps
and collected more than 300,000,000
pounds of scrap, Summerville,
Georgia’s, pretty 17-year-old Helen
Louis Owings alone sold $699,000 in
war bonds.
At the congress were 17-year-old
Billy Sol Estes, Clyde, Texas, whose
six years of 4-H work have netted
him $28,739, and 18-year-old Geneva
Duhm, who has collected $1,626,
chiefly in products.
SOUTH PACIFIC:
Bloody Fighting
The Gilberts ours after the blood-
iest fighting in the marines’ long his-
tory, attention was focused on other
Jap outposts in the Pacific, including
their great naval base of Truk in
the Carolines to the northwest.
In New Guinea, Australian troops
continued to beat their way through
the brushy hills, up the east coast,
while on Bougainville in the Solo-
mons, waves of bombers supported
U. S. marines picking their way
through the Japs’ jungle strongholds.
On bloody Tarawa after the ma-
rines’ valiant victory, Admiral Ches-
ter Nimitz said: “I have learned
more than I ever knew of what the
Japs can do. I am highly impressed
by the highly organized defense of
this small island and the large num-
ber of troops they had on it.”

CIVILIAN SUPPLIES:
Picture Brightening
In a move which it deemed as
protection against shortages of ma-
terials essential to the prosecution
of the war, the army put huge stocks
of surplus materials on sale, while
the office of civilian requirements
granted repair men larger alloca-
tions of metals.
Issuance of catalogs to guide
manufacturers in bidding for the
goods reveals that sales will include
a variety of items ranging from
hammers to buckles.
From the 830th army air force
specialized depot in Memphis, Tenn.,
catalogs listed such salable ma-
terial as fuel pumps, refueling fun-
nels, drain cans, lubricators, manu-
al and hydraulic jacks, and preci-
sion tools for carpenters, plumbers
and machinists.
Under the office of civilian require-
ments ruling, electricians, plumbers,
blacksmiths, radio, upholstery and
farm machinery repair shops are
permitted to buy up to 20 tons of
carbon and alloy steel, 500 pounds
of copper and brass products, and
200 pounds of aluminum in certain
forms. Once scarcer than a hen’s
tooth, copper wire will be available
for limited use.
