RED I ISS GOODS FLOWN TO YENAN CHUNGKING, Jan. 31.— — Nearly ten tons of American Red , Cross supplies, including sulfa drugs and surgical equipment, have been flown to Yenan, Chinese Communist headquarters, with the approval of the Central Chinese Government here, American head quarters announced today. The China wing of the Air Trans port Command handled the job. The first air delivery of medi cal supplies to the seat of the '•'Communist administration was sent to the Bethune Memorial In ternational Peace Hospital, which like most installations in Yenan, is housed in a series of caves. The supplies were received by an American doctor from North Caro line, who has been with the Com munists since his arrival in China In 1937, cloaking his identity un der the Chinese name of Ma-Hai teh. Tne supplies will be used to treat both civilians and Commun —ist soldiers. Part of the shipment . will be held in Yenan and the rest transported by mules and human carriers to Communist field hos pitals in northeastern China, far behind Japanese-dominated areas. Crew members on the delivery plane included Sgt. Tommy S. Eldridge of Dunn. La., radio op erator, and Cpl. Vander S. Morri »on of Midland, N. C., engineer. __ GERMANS ATTACK BRITISH EIGHTH ROME Jan, 31. — UP)— German patrols stabbed at Eighth Army positions in the Adriatic sector to day in an effort to learn about present Allied dispositions and future plans and another series of unexplained explosions behind German lines aroused curiosity. Similar explosions recently, caused speculation whether Ger mans were preparing new fort ifications or carrying out demo litions. Flying for the first time in ten days, strong forces of U. S. 15th Air Force Fortresses and Liber ators bombed the Moosierpaun oil installations 22 miles northwest of Vienna and rail facilities at Craz, 90 miles southwest of Vienna. It was estimated that between 500 and 750 bombers took part. They Were covered continuously by Tm trican fighters. Increased artillery activity on both sides was noted along the en tire front and the Germans con tinued their sudden spurt of air ac tivity. Bombs were dropped at scat tered points. Allied planes met the German aircraft, destroying or damaging three. -V Cigar Manufacturers Want Higher Ceilings On Hand-Made Stogies WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—UPC The Cigar Manufacturers Associa tion of Tampa, Fla., has engaged council in an effort to obtain high er ceiling prices for hand-made cigars. Norman Littell, former assistant U. S. Attorney General recently dismissed by President Roosevelt following a controversy with At torney General Francis Biddle, said today the association has re tained him to represent it before the Office of Price Administra tion. Littell said “apparently the ex istence of some of these small manufacturers is threatened by OPA regulations. 1 T VET PINS CRITICIZED Rep. Dingell Terms Discharge Buttons ‘Cheap’ WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—WV Rep. Dingell (D-Mich.) today crit icized what he termed the “cheap, insignificant discharge buttons” issued to returning war veterans. In a House speech, Dingell said the “gilded, plastic (buttons) are about on a par with products here tofore made in Japan,” and called upon the War Department to do something about it. Dingell blamed “penny-pinch ing” in the War Department for issuance of the buttons he call ed “too small, indistinctive and inexcusabily cheap.” He declar ed Congress should see that some thing be done to give veterans medals “worthy of the patriot’s valor and sacrifice of these citi zens who have given more than their share for America.” Rep. Bender (R-Ohio) told the House the discharge buttons have “met with great resentment” and added, “I trust that some proper action will be taken to remedy the situation.” -V BABY GETS HER ‘BUNTING’ HAMMOND, Ind., Jan. 31.—(UP) —When Cpl. Clarence H. Callahan of the AAF left home, he promised his two-year-old daughter that he “was going hunting to get a bunt ing to wrap his baby in.” Calahan lived up to his promise by sending tiny Sharon Sue a Japanese para chute, which he had taken on New Guinea, to wrap herself in.

Nothing acts just like good old Calotabs to re lieve temporary constipation and help sweep out virus-laden mucus and other putrefactive waste matter. Use only aa directed, (adv) a Today and Tomorrow ____ WALTER LIPPMANN Unless the Republican leaders in the Senate are bent upon proving that they can make an even bigger blunder than the President, they will pass the George bill and then confirm Mr. Wallace as Secretary of Commerce. It was a great er ror for the administration to ask that Mr. Wallace be made both Secretary of Commerce and Fed eral Loan Administrator. It will be at least as great an error, and in the long run very dangerous, for the opposition to reject him when the two office^ have been separated. * • * The basic reason why Mr. Wal lace ought not to administer the government loan agencies is that high-level employment is a novel and complex undertaking which can be carried forward success fully only by leadership and per suasion, not by compulsion and command. The general program which Mr. Wallace outlined to the Bailey committee is one which re quires the willing co-operation of Congress, of all departments of the government, and of the people. If Mr. Wallace were in a position where he could call the tune be cause he paid the piper, he would produce only discord and resist ance. To have confirmed him in the control of these immense lend ing powers, once he had declared his program, would have been tan tamount to giving him authority to carry out the program when he ought only to have authority to propose a program. But if. now, the opposition not only deprives him of the lending power but also rejects him as Sec retary of Commerce, it will put itself on record as rejecting in ad vance the whole effort to formu late a policy of high-level employ ment. That would be a very reck less thing to do. Yet that would be the interpretation put upon it. The Republicans, with some Dem ocratic supporters, would be vot ing against the ideas which Mr. Wallace represents. For there are no charges against Mr. Wallace, and to reject him when the^e are no charges against him would be to reject the things he is striving to accomplish. * * » Senator Taft, who is a leader in the attempt to reject Wallace, has made it quite clear that he will fight the -whole conception of full employment as a national ob ligation. Senator Taft is entitled to take this position if he likes. But he is not entitled to speak for the Republican party when he takes it. The true Republican position was stated by Governor Dewey in his acceptance speech to the Chi cago convention: “We Republicans are agreed.” he said, “that full employment shall be the first ob jective of national policy.” It will be impossible to believe that the Republicans in the Senate are faithful to this declaration if they reject Henry Wallace as Secretary of Commerce. For without the lending power under his control, Henry Wallace can only propose measures to achieve what Governor Dewey called the first objective of na tional policy. Without the lending power these measures cannot be put into effect by Henry Wallace's order. They can only be debated, and then put into effect if Con gress and Mr. Wallace’s col leagues approve. The Senate can not in good conscience deny to the President the right to appoint a man who stands for the fulfillment of his campaign pledges and the Republican campaign pledges as well. * * * To deny Mr. Wallace the oppor tunity to piopose a program would be a fantastically reckless thing to do. It would be an act of arbi trary prejudice which could only cif IM IRRITATIONS OF OWin EXTERNAL CAUSE Eczema, acne pimples, simple ringworm, tetter, salt rheum, bumps (blackheads), and ugly broken-out skjn.
