TWO
OPA TO REVIEW
DRIVING CASES
68 Motorists To Be Heard
On Pleasure Ban
Charges Here
Sixty-eight New Hanover county
motorists are scheduled to appear
before county War Price and Ra
tioning board in hearings to be con
ducted “probably near the end of
the week’’ for alleged violations of
the pleasure driving ban, officials of
OPA and the Ration Board announ
ced Monday. '
However, officials of the board
emphatically requested any and all
motorists who have received cita
tions not to appear at the board s
office until they receive further of
ficial notification.
The announcement came after a
conference of the board with J
Frank Hackler, attorney of the
OPA field office here.
The decision followed wide spread
enforcement of the ban over the
week-end.
Eighteen charges of violation by
OPA investigators were in the
hands of the local rationing of
ficials Monday. Mr. Hackler told
the board that 50 additional cita
tions were at the OPA office where
they had been filed by state high
way patrolmen.
It was the first time the board
had received OPA charges, and
brought prompt action on its part.
Hearings were discontinued recent
ly because the OPA had not filed
charges with the board, which felt
■it had insufficient evidence to act
upon.
With the decision to resume
hearings, the hoard was faced with
-the (problem of naming .a person to
■conduct the investigations. A tele
phone conversation with Norman
Sheppard, state OPA attorney, re
vealed a member of the beard must
serve upon the panel to hear
-pleasure drivers. This brought a
graver problem, as it was pointed
.out that the board is already over
run at the rationing office.
It was stated, however, that the
investigation panel will be named
shortly and the machinery to act
upon violations of the pleasure ban
set up. Those subject to appear
ance to show reason why their
gasoline ration should not be can
celled will be given at least three
days’ notice to appear.
Announcement that OPA investi
gating officials would be on the
job to enforce the pleasure driving
ba nover the week-end resulted in
only two OPA citations being made
here. Both were handed out Sat
urday night at the Plantation
club, one to a taxicab operator and
the other to the owner of a pri
vate automobile.
A survey of citations at the ra
tioning office revealed that former
taxi .drivers are now operating pri
vate vehicles to carry soldiers to
an<i»from Camp Davis for a fee.
The investigator declared that in
most cases the driver gave a "fic
titious” reason for the trip and as
serted he picked up his passengers
who were hitchhiking.
The citations further showed
that three had been given to taxi
yab drivers for carrying passengers
to downtown theaters, to private
citizens at the country club who
were seen at the golf links after
parking their automobiles, and to
motorists parked at eating estab
lishments.

bombardment from United States
air and surface forces, and a large
Japanese destroyer and a cargo
ship were bombed by United
States aircraft in the vicinity of
Shortland island.
On Guadalcanal, where latest re
ports place the number of enemy
troops at about 4,000, the action
resulted in the killing of 201 Japa

Naval spokesmen said the air
action reported today, taken with
that announced yesterday from
General MacArthur’s headquar
ters, comprised the greatest air
activity of the war to date in the
south and southwest Pacific the

The Guadalcanal action was
launched Friday morning, Solo

ground forces pushed the Japa
nese westward and in the face
of strenuous opposition seized six
important elevations which over
looked the village of Kokumbona
and facilitated its capture.
The village lies on the north
coast of the island, 16 miles bel

The Friday action resulted in
the killing of 110 Japs, and mop
ping up operations the next day
against pockets of opposition score
91 more enemy dead and 40 pris

The American positions on Guad

Enemy installations on Kolom

mission was demonstrated by fires
which indicated, the Navy said,

were “completely burned out.”
Kolombangara island, circular in

lies just northwest of New Georgia.
Formed by an extinct volcano, it

Bulk Of Enlisted Men In
Colleges To Go On
Active Duty
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.— IP —
The bulk of the Army’s enlisted
reservists in colleges throughout
the United States will be ordered
to active duty in the near future,
War department officials said to
day.
An order was sent Saturday by
Maj. Gen. James A. Ulio, the ad
jutant general, to the commanding
generals of the nine service com
mands reminding them that the
specialized training program an
nounced December 17 called for
induction ot most reservists at the
conclusion of tne first college term
ending after December 31, 1942.
That, officials pointed out.
means thar students will be called
on varying dates, depending on
whether a college has six-month
terms, four-month semesters or op
erates on the quarterly plan.
As announces in Boston today
by Maj. Gen. Sherman Miles of
the first service command, there
are several exceptions to the gen
eral induction order for college
enlisted reservists:
(1) Medical and pre-medical stu
dents, including dental and vet
erinary.
(2) Engineering students of soph
omore. junior or senior standing.
3) Advanced R.O.T.C. students
(juniors and seniors).
4) Students of sophomore or
higher standing in recognized mil
itary colleges.
(5) Aviation cadets in fhe en
listed reserve.
(61 Students in the electronics
training group.
The last category was set up
at the request of the Signal Corps,
which asked that students in elec
trical enginering and other elec
tronics courses be permitted to fin
ish their studies at the discretion
of the chief signal officer.

(Continued from Page One)
fore the Japanese struck at Pearl
Harbor a majority of the Repub
licans in Congress during the de
bate on repealing the neutrality act
had not yet grasped the idea that
the war for us would start in the
Pacific, and that we had to sup
port the Eritish and the Russians
if we did not wish to fight a two
ocean war with a one-ocean Navy.
Some of these same gentlemen
are now thinking that once we
have defeated our enemies, the
problem of American security will
have been solved. They are just
as much mistaken now as they
were two vears ago.
If they prevail, it is not nec
essary to be a prophet to see what
will happen. Let us see where
they would lead us. They are
anti-British and do not wish us to
•form- a working partnership with
Britain to keep the peace and pro
mote the reconstruction of the
economic life of the world. They
are anti-Russian and are spoiling
for a quarrel with the Soviets.
They are unfriendly to the Fight
ing French and 100k with a jaun
diced eye upon the strong, proud
spirit which General De Gaulle is
bent on infusing into the broken
and demoralized body of the
French nation. They do not like
the govemments-in-exile, and think
they may deprive us of some of
our butter and eggs to feed their
starving compatriots when the war
is over.
Moreover, some of the former
isolationists are getting ready to
think that once the fighting stops,
we can find civilian jobs for some
thirty million American soldiers
and war workers by closing our
frontiers—shutting down exports
and imports to the barest mini
mum which can be paid for in
gold cash—and doing nothing to as
sist Europe and Asia to return to
normal.
Let us suppose that we followed
this philosophy, imagining that we
were hard - headed realists who
were not going to be hornswog
gled by a lot of damned foreign
ers. What would the damned for
eigners do? They would look at
our wealth and our power, and
then they would look at the un
friendly spirit in which we need
our wealth and our power. They
would look at their poverty and
their ruins, their dead and their
maimed, and they would say:
“Well, that is not what we hoped
lor. But the Americans have de
cided that it is now a matter of
each for himself and the devil
take the hindmost. And so, as the
answer, as the defense, as the
insurance against that kind of
America we must go in for a
Europe for the Europeans and cn
Asia for the Asiatics."
The result. In other words, of
our rejecting the partnership of
the United Nations will inexorably
be an ever closer alliance of those
nations, with us on the outside
looking in. The currents are al
ready beginning to run in that di
rection, and every time a public
man makes a destructive speech,
every time an American admiral,
or general, or diplomat, or Wash
ington official uses brass knuckles
in his negotiations with the United
Nations, there is a push in that
fuIul direction.
Thus we shall huve to cure our
selves of the Illusion that the issue
is whether we shall return to iso

While most of Rommel’s force
was reported behind the Mareth

Deduction Explanations
For Workers Befuddled
BY JAMES MARLOW AND
GEORGE ZIELKE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25— (IP) —
A friend dropped by to ask what's
what with all these deductions
from his paycheck.
He’d been reading about how
Congress is figuring on taking his
income tax out of his check, too,
in some kind of pay-as-you-go plan.
And the price administrator had
just predicted an increase of 6 per
cent in prices this year.
What would all this do to his
way of living, please?”
Well, Joe, we said, here's the sit
uation right now:
The federal income tax, under
present law, will take, roughly 19
per cent of your taxable 1942 in
come total. Probably you haven t
saved that much up, so it’s got to
come out of your 1943 income.
The Victory tax takes 5 per rent
of all you earn over $12 a week.
Social security taxes 1 per cent
of your entire pay, up to a total
deduction of $30 a year. (Next year,
unless Congress changes it, the de
duction will be 2 per cent; and
some planners want to raise that
to 5 per cent.)
Many Americans are devoting 10
per cent of their income to war
bonds.
A great many people are paying
3 or 5 per cent of their paychecks
in pensions of government em
ployment or private industry.
Many others are paying for in
surance of various kinds through
pay roll deductions.
But, said Joe, “How about me?"
Ho has a wife and two children his
pay is $50 a week.
Out of this comes:
$5 for war bonds.
$1.60 for Victory tax. (That’s un
dcr the “wage band’’ provision—
there’ll be an exact reckoning at
the end of the year.)
$1 30 to be put aside for his i.942
federal income tax (he’ll owe ap
proximately $68 under the existing
law).
$1.50 under a company pension
plan.
$1 for life insurance under a
group policy.
$ 50 social security deduction.
$.50 (approximately) for a group
hospitalization plan.
These add up $11.40 (that’s about
23 per cent of his income.)
They leave him $38.60 a week.
Now—suppose congress enacts a
pay roll deduction system for in
come taxes. The figure of 20 per
cent has been mentioned frequent
ly. Tliis undoubtedly would re
place the Victory tax. And, in many
cases, would mean an end to the
voluntary 10 per cent for war bonds
Here’s why:
In the case of our friend, a 20*
per cent income tax deduction
would take $10 a week off his pay
check. This would be $2.10 more
than the total he presently was pay
ing for war bonds, Victory tax and
income tax. His total deductions
then would be increased to $13.50
(or 27 per cent of his income.) That
would leave him $36.50 a week.
If he kept up his war bond pur
chases, too, he'd have just $31.50 a
week left.
So Joe wanted a look at the
available figures on necessary rost
of living.
possible. Japan has managed to
become isolated in Asia. Germany
has twice managed to become
isolated in Europe. We could be
come isolated, too, and indeed we
shall, if we listen to those who
do not know better.
We could have ourselves with
out a friend in the world. We
could deprive ourselves of all our
allies. We could turn our backs
upon the British, the Russians, the
French, the Dutch, the Scandi
navians, the Poles, the Serbs and
the Greeks. But if we do, let us
at least not be surprised if, after
we have refused to work with
them, they then unite and work
against us, and that, having chosen
isolation, we find ourselves isolated
in a world where we are univer
sally disliked and suspected.
That is why, when the true case
for a constructive foreign policy
has been presented to the people,
they will support it, as they did
lend-lease, as an American inter
est of such compelling importance
to the welfare of the nation that
no demagogy can blind them to it.
The latest revision of the Bureau
of Labor statistics’ “maintenance
level” was for Sept. 15, 1942. This
standard was figured for 33 cit'es,
allowing for regional variations in
costs. %
The top annual figure in this
group for a family of four was
$1,731.88 (about $33.30 a week) for
Washington, D. C.; the lowest was
for Mobile, Ala., $1,433.72 ($27.50
a week.)
The halfway mark between the
two extremes figures out to about
$30 a week.
What kind of living does this i
provide for? Joe wanted to know.
The “maintenance level” is bas
ed on a computation of the WPA
defined as. above the minimum of
“subsistence level” (or “emer
gency level”) or relief budgets,
but below the standard of the skill
ed worker.
It provides for no household help,
no automobile. This family would
rent a four or five room apartment
or house, with gas, electricity and
a small radio; use ice for refriger
ation; read a daily newspaper, go
to the movies once a week.
The food is figured for “an ade
quate diet at minimum cost.”
In most cases, the war is going
to mean a lower standard of living.
And a lot of war workers getting
much more than they ever earned
before are going to find themselves
pinned down by the fact that the
amount of goods and services tney 1
can buy keeps getting smaller.

trol the Maikop oil wells to the

In the Ukraine the Russians
were fighting within ten miles of
Vorosnilovgrad, Donets basin in
dustrial center. Starobelsk, 50
miles to the northwest, and Valui
ki, 70 miles farther along an im
portant north-south railway, were
in Russian hands. The latter is
only about 82 miles from Khar
kov, Ukraine capital which was
one of the Axis springboards for
last summer’s drive.
In taking Starobelsk Sunday the
Russians said today that more
than 1,000 Axis troops were killed,
and 15 tanks 16 armored cars,
150 guns, more than 200 trucks,
eight locomotives, eight ware
houses, and a large number of
railway cars were captured. Three
hundred Axis troops surrendered,
the communique said.
Thousands of Axis troops were
killed or captured during yester
day’s fighting, and frequent Nazi
counterattacks were smashed, par
ticularly cn the middle Don and
north Caucasian fronts opposite
Rostov the communique said.
Moscow dispatches emphasized
that the Germans were still hurl
ing more and more tanks into ac
tion. along with reserve troops,
on the lower Don river in an ef
fort to keep the Russians away
from Rostov. .
Although the, Russians now are
said to have broken out onto the
flat plains 90 miles southeast of
Rostov, these dispatches pointed
out that the battle for that city
apparently would be one of the
heaviest ol the war since the Ger
mans have been fortifying it for
njonths.
The swiftest Russian gains in
the last week have been made on
the front below Voronezh.

Victory Book Drive Needs
Contributions For Men
In Camps
Because the armed forces have
expanded so rapidly, it has been
impossible for officials of our
Army, Navy and Marine corps to
supply enough books for all the
new camps and receiving stations
which have been organized within
the past year. Therefore, the Amer
ican Library Association, the Am
erican Red Cross, and the United
Service Organizations, sponsors of
last year’s Victory Book Campaign,
have begun a new drive to fill ser
vicemen’s libraries with readable
fiction, biography and travel books.
According to Miss Emma Wood
ward the library is receiving books
daily from Wilmington citizens in
terested in seeing that our fighting
forces are supplied with the type of
reading material that will help sus
tain good morale. She declares that
“every day is give-a-book day’’ in
the library, and that even after
the campaign drive concludes,
March 5, the Wilmington public li
brary will continue to receive book
contributions.
The Red Cross is likewise receiv
ing books, and will arrange to pick
up contributions if the headquar
ters office is notified, Mrs. Ida B.
Speiden, chapter secretary, has said.
General purposes of the January
5—March 5 campaign for good lit
erature for our soldiers have been
stated by the 1943 Victory Book
campaign committee as follows
“As a weapon in the war of ideas
a book has a place to fill in this
war. Whether as a source of morale
or information, it is recognized by
our military leaders as part of our
fighting equipment. Our purpose,
therefore, is to provide books —
good books, and by that we embrace
both physical condition and reada
bility — for the increasing millions
of our fighting men — soldiers,
sailors, marines, coast guardsmen,
merchant seamen. We also propose
to provide books for USO centers
outside the camps, and for the Am
erican Merchant Marine Library As
sociation; and finally, in the event
of an over-supply, for the men, wo
men and children in defense areas
where increased population has tax
ed the facilities of local libraries.
"To sum up, a good test for any
book is this ‘Any book you really
want to keep is a good one to give.’
Remember that ‘good books are
ammunition; good ideas are bul
lets’.’’
