FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1944 CAN YOU COMPREHEND THE INFINITE? Is not God in the heiriit of Heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high theyi ere! Job 22:12. Rayburn On "Sob Sisters" Speaker Sam Rayburn says some thing when he urges the women of the nation not to be "sob sisters tkn tuaf oairinfT tVinf flip TinftT people of Germany and Japan had! nothing to do with this, Just as certainly as the sun rises there will arise a vocal minority in the United States when peace is con cluded, to defend the enemy peoples and to say, "forget and forgive," basing their argument upon what they consider eminent scriptural au thority. What the fanatics will overlook is the necessity of punishment, not as revenge, but as a deterrent to some other self-deluded "master race" in the future. It is vitally necessary to the future peace of the world that the Germans and Japanese people thoroughly understand that aggres sion, under any pretext, does not pay. . Jap Leaders Understand There are increasing indications that Japanese leaders recognize the probability of defeat and that they are greatly concerned with what will ' happen when the United IJations are able to turn their full resources to the Pacific war theatre. The Japanese, it will be recalled, took advantage of the last war to make considerable gains in the Far East. The stage was set in 1941, according to Tokyo' leaders, for the empire to follow the same course In the present straggle. . Here was -what seemed like a great opportunity. Great Britain was fighting for its life and the United .States was committed to support the anti-Axis groups in Europe. Russia was being heavily pounded on and a separate peace with Ger many was possible in the Japanese view. Consequently, the Japanese made their plunge, launching the treacher ous attack upon Pearl Harbor while professional negotiators conducted farcical parleys in Washington. For about a year the Japs had their way but the United States, despite in volvement in the war in Europe, has been able to strengthen its forces in the Pacific and to recapture the outer fringes of the fruits of Japanese aggression. The Japanese war-makers know whet is going on in the war theatre, regardless of what they tell their people at home. They know that, even today, their forces are unable to protect the farflung islands and that tomorrow it will be a question whether they will be able to safe guard the home islands from in Nettuno And Cassino Assumptions that "100,000 Germans are trapped" by the Allies' brilliant "end run" in the Italian campaign are, to say the least, premature. Al most daily for several weeks German armies have been journalistically trapped in the Dneiper bend, but so far they have r anaged to maintain discipline end avoid serious military entrapment except at Stalingrad. And it is certainly too early to say that Cassino is another Stalingrad. But the landing at Nettuno has given the British-American armies the initiative and there is reason to hope it will bring faster and easier progress than costly frontal assaults on hill positions held by the Germans. Reports that American troops have already entered unopposed the fort ress town of Cassino, toward which they have been slogging for two months, indicates that Marshal Kes Miring has turned about to meet! the threat of the Allied beachead in his rear. The next four or five dys should determine whether he can extricate hi army.

Some wage earners will owe a substantial amount, many will owe a small figure, and others will get refunds. Sets Maximum Vegetable Prices To prevent sharp increases in fresh vegetable prices, the Office of Price Administration has announced maxi mum prices for carrots, spinach, peas, snap beans, eggplant, peppers and cucumbers. The action, effective at the country shipper level, January 31, will become effective 15 days later at wholesale markets.

WFA also announced its proposal for support prices on other farm products, sub ject to Congressional action. May Tighten Farm Deferments To maintain their deferments from military service because of their agricultural activity, the 1,700,000 registrants engaged in agriculture may be asked to increase sharply their production goals, according to Commander Patrick H. Winston, as sistant executive, Selective Service System. Approximately one million of these deferred men are non fathers. To Relocate Physicians, Dentists Any municipality, county, or other local subdivision of government suf fering from an acute shortage of physicians or dentists may now ap ply to the Surgeon General or the district office of the U. S. Public Health Service or through the state i health officer requesting the reloca- on oi a pnysiciftn or dentist. The , Public Health Service agrees to pay and Mrs. Robert Brothers, of Nor moving costs and to pay the relocated , folk, Va.; Mr. and Mrs. Macon Nixon doctor $250 a month for the first land son and Gradv Williams, of Eli- three months. The doctor agrees to practice in the community for not less than one year, and the commun ity agrees to contribute one-fourth of the Government's cost to the be cut off or driven into the sea. The Luftwaffe is giving the Nettuno beachead drastic attention, but Allied tactical air forces should be sufficient ' to keep a fairly good umbrella over the additional landings required to consolidate the position and maintain supplies. Meanwhile strategic bomb ing is hitting hard at German sup plies. Allied plans must have recognized the necessity for quickly putting ashore enough strength to withstand j concentrated counterattacks. If Allied ! forces are already at Velletri they have cut the Appian Way and are approaching hills from which they can bring under artillery fire the Casilina Way, the other, main line of communications on the west side of Italy. The, battle for Rome; , should be decided in tjhe. next few days in the fifty-mile area between Nettuno an4 Cssino,--ChrJstian Science Most itor,. Public Health Service.

This information will enable the ODT to determine the kind of action to be taken, if assist ance is warranted. Ration-Free Rubber Footwear OPA will permit some ration-free sales of rubber footwear by retailers and jobbers who have excess and slow-moving stocks that otherwise might be wasted through deteriora tion. Retailers and jobbers desiring permission for such sales must apply in writing to OPA district offices. A minimum of 15 days will be required between filing of application and granting of "non-rationed" stickers, to identify the released footwear. Round-up U. S. sivihans will get 63 per cent of the vitamin A allocation in 1944, WFA says, as the Army gets most of its vitamins through a balanced diet. . . . Burn any packing material that comes with gifts from soldiers abroad to avoid insect pests and plant dis eases, advises the Department of Agriculture.
