He asserted that : "the gigantic mass of the German , people standing behind the newreich and the national socialist world of thought which is inspiring it," but indicated that all was not well within nazi i Germany and occu pied Europe, that the nazi party must "break terror with ten-fold terror word proclamation to a Mnnich meeting- mt party followers. It was read for him for he was still "with the germaa soldiers fighting in the east because it is there that the fate of Germany and Europe will be. decided a decision which- mast and will end in ear victory." Hitler asserted that "the German people will mobilize and use their forces to an extent exceeding that in any war ; in history," and . that with their; allies the Germans would carry out "a mobilization of the spiritual and material values of Europe such as our continent has not yet seen1 in its history of several thousand years. "Neither shall we hesitate single second to call upon the countries: which are responsible for the outbreak of this war to do their bit in the fatal struggle," he said in an apparent reference to fallen France. . "We shall not scruple about for eign lives at a time when such hard sacrifices are exacted from our own lives," he declared, but did not amplify that statement As to the home front, Hitler de clared that "in these coming months and perhaps years the par ty will have to fulfill its second great historic task, namely to arouse the nation to the greatness of its danger, to strengthen the sacred faith, to instill strength in weak characters and ruthlessly to destroy saboteurs. "The party has to enlighten in places where enlightenment is be ing rejected. It has to break ter ror with ten-fold terror. "It has to extinguish traitors whoever they be and whatever their- disguise who follow aims hostile to the people,' The proclamation, broadcast by the Berlin radio and recorded here. was read in the Munich Hofbrau- haus .by Secretary of State Her man Esser to members marking me Z3rd anniversary of the found ing of the nazi party.' It was the second time within a month that Hitler had addressed his people indirectly. He told his followers i that they had learned fanatical party faith' from ' him ; and assured them that "the. same fan tic ism still inspires me today with the same Intensity and It will never leave'me as long as I live." "Today, too, I am inspired by the same witl power lo resolve to the last consequence the task which fate has entrusted to me," ne asserted, adding: "I have a right to believe that destiny has chosen me to fulfill this task. Without it I could not have survived all the obstacles and assaults to the power of Ger many, and crowned them by vic tories such as world history has nearer witnessed, and at the same time borne the sorrows which perhaps would . have broken countless less strong characters." Hitler again . blamed Jews for the war, but declared "We shall break and smash the might of the Jewish world coalition and mankind struggle for its freedom will win final victory in this struggle." ; "The Jews believe they are at the very gates of the milleniura, but this year like last they will experience horrible disillusion ment," he said. aid. "this struggle will not end as our enemies plan with annihilation . of the Aryan part of humanity but with ex tinction of Jewry in Europe." "The nast'world of ideas witl become the common property of all -peoples.' even of oar ene mies, through this struggle," said the nasi leader, and "one state after another will be in creasingly compelled to resort to the national socialist fhesls ; in the eendaet of the war they provoked."

Rationing allotments for res taurants will be determined by a separate formula, but OPA in tends to restrict consumption by their patrons "on about the same basis that the individual is . re stricted on his meals at home." Restaurants 'must use ration points the same as householders. However, instead of flat ration amounts, such as the 48 points per person allowed householders for March, restaurants will get three-fifths of a ration point for March and April for every per- son served last December. Figured on a corresDondina basis. . house- holders are getting half a ration point for every December meaL QPA said the difference is due to higher waste and fluctuating pa tronaee in restaurants For hot doe stands and similar establishments which use rela tiyely little canned coods. the ra tion must not exceed 80 per cent of - last December's consumption. The same formulas will apply to boarding houses where 50 or more persons eat regularly. Small er boarding houses will operate on the same basis as households; pooling their residents' rations. OPA consolidated coffee, and sugar rations for public eating places with their canned goods rations, to simplify procedure. This reduces coffee and sugar allotments of some eating places; leaves other' restaurants unaf fected. Restaurants will use the same noint chart householders in buvins- ood OPA aM More Vegetable Ceilings Planned WASHINGTON.

ON the HOME FRONT By ISABEL CHILDS They have glossy, dark: curls, sprinkling of freckles , over small noses, jolly "laughs and almost identical clothes these, twins who live on my street. -7-; ;: :i When" they first moved there it seemed to me that they enioyed candy more than any two people, young or old, whom I had known. By that I do not mean that' they ate a great deal of it. But what they had ' they put t& ' excellent use. There-were-pouting red -lips of some material not unlike stale gmndrops, and with these - they made ,-ver their v bright t young faces;, candy hats were plastered to their foreheads. J ; : Long whips of blade licorice were on their shopping lists, too, and t almost invariably we knew just what the candy counter in the little store across the street would boast today by what we saw in possession of the twins. - Now that the candy counter is nearly always empty of the penny variety of sweets, the two giddily gay little girls are apparently just as happy as when they could patronize it regularly. Jt may be because they live not far from theemployment servit office that the dark-haired lasses and a friend with taffy-colored braids, have recently turned their thoughts to jobs. Of course, the explanation for the desire of one twin to become a nurse when she grows up may be in the fact that she is a little girl. .1 want to be a welder, said her wide-awake sister Wednes day, and neither the would-be nurse, the pigtailed companion nor the man who had stuck his head out of the door of the beet seed company shop could dis suade her.

Dies Charges Social Plans WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-yp) Charging "socialistic planners' in government bureaus with having mapped out a program to subvert the American form of government. Rep.

JJl, Funds Benied To McNuti, Manpower; ; WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 4JP) Paul V. McNutt's future as war manpower commissioner- was - Im periled Wednesday as the house appropriations committee refused his request for $2,454,000 which he had proclaimed ' essential for his agency to discharge its duties.

These deal with the transfer of workers from jobs classed as non essential' to war work and with adoption of a 48-hour work week in critical areas. Because he grounded these or ders on the necessity for provid ing manpower to meet the labor needs of war industry, . McNutt will be under tremendous pres sure to place in war jobs all those displaced from' their old jobs as a result of his orders. The turndown he received from the house committee means that, unless he can win a reversal, he must face this problem with his job-placement unit, the US em ployment service, in what he con siders doubtful shape to handle the task. The committee refused to give the USES any of the $2,434,000 McNutt had told it he must have to lift salaries of its personnel to the federal wage scale through next June and stop a wave of job- quitting which, his aides said, has a i.L. v wppea we unit m mormie.

Higher prices, he contended. might accomplish the purpose but threaten inflation "even more ruinous to farmers than to oth ers." Instead he proposed incentive payments on nine war crops, and purchase and resale operations. particularly- by the Commodity Credit Corp. This latter method, he said, already is being followed for oil crops "and we hope to be able to continue it for these pro ducts and others for which it is practicable. ! Canadian Sailor Tells Tricks of Nazi Sub Crews LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2 4-flPJ Nazi U-boat commanders put pri soners or even their own crew members into torpedo tubes and shot them to the surface, with debris and oil, in an effort to show their craft has been destroyed, a Canadian sailor declared Wednes day. , "The doomed prisoners are car ried from nazi ports for the pur pose of liquidating them usefully, IA.

Tax Reducing Decision Near B (continued from Page 1) B members' questions, he had voic ed opinion that an emergency clause could not be attached to the bilL and had pointed out the intricacies of the refund process. .Committee members said Fisher had told them it was possible te. make refunds, and te reduce the payments .this year if the legislatare .se de cided. Without an emergency clause and with a referendum therefore possible, these mem bers said, it - would not be safe to make refunds until June, by which time the greater part of the income taxe. would have been paid. They pointed out further that' on Monday the minority group had agreed with : their decision that it would be unwise to reduce the tax this year. To an interviewer and not to the committee, Commissioner Fisher pointed out Wednesday that the intangibles tax refund in 1939 was a simple matter since the entire amount paid was given back. Making a percentage re fund, he went cm to say, would be difficult because taxpayers re turns might be wrong. Should be audited before making the re fund; and that in the case of tax payers making returns on the ac crual basis, there would be fur ther complication due to the mu tual offset of state and federal taxes, which would have to be taken into account. On another interesting tax sec tor, it was reported, that the bill proposing to tax municipal power utilities, reported out "do not pass" by the house utilities com mittee, might be amended to pro vide for payment out of surplus revenues a sum equivalent to per cent of gross receipts,, for reduction of property taxes in the city..
