Farmers Urged
; Cut Pulpwood,
Avoid Shortage
3 WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 -)
Reports of Increasing gravity of
ithf DulDwood and paper shortage
rere coupled today with an ap-.
?peal by the war manpower com
mission ' for "farmers to" turn to
pulpwood cutting and- lumbering
during the agricultural off-season.
Enforced reduction of at least
18 per cent of , all paper products
available for use in the first three
months of 1944 was indicated by
-the war production board.
" The WPB'a forest, products bu
reau reported that pulpwood pro
duction decreased 18 per cent in
the first nine months of this year
as compared with a similar period
In 1942. With a time lag between
the cutting of wood and produc
tion of paper, the bureau said,
first effects of the decrease prob
ably will be felt in January.
, f An appeal - for greater efforts
",in the nation wide " salvage of
waste paper also came from James
Y. Byrnes, director of the office
of war mobilization, who declared
''that munitions plants already have
v Jhad to close down for lack of pa
i per containers to ship their inuni
. .'. tions output.
Byrnes said that about 6,000,000
tons of paper a year are being sal
vaged currently s while minimum
requirements are 7,500,000 tons.
To encourage more labor for
- pulpwood cutting and other occu
pations useful .to the war effort,
Manpower Chairman Paul V. Mc
Nutt ruled that farm workers may
"transfer to such employment with
out obtaining a certificate of
' availability. If a farm worker re-
. mains on the new job longer than
six weeks his employer should
.. make a request for his services
for the additional period to the
- United States employment ser-
, vice.
Farmers and agricultural work
ers within the military age lim
mits, 1 to 44 years inclusive,
must obtain approval from their
local draft boards. The boards
have been ' instructed, to approve
, the off-season transfers for per
i ioda up to four months. The reg
. istrants will retain their draft
deferred status during such- per
: lods. .

Guides'Take Service Men
Through Capitol
By HAROLD WAR
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-(P)-Gasoline and seats on busses
and trains may be hard to get, but several hundred Americans
manage to visit their national capitol daily to get a look at con
gress in wartime action.
Capitol guides, reduced in numbers from the-1940 peak of
24 to 10 now, think they detect
an increased interest on the tour
ists' faces. Most visitors wind up
in one of the 20 or 30 organized
trips through the historic halls
each day.
This is a much greater percent
age than in peacetime, said one
boss guide who declined with dig
nity to permit use of his name.
The fact that the dome, towering
above the eerily-lighted rotunda,
has been closed since Hitler
marched into Poland in 1939, is no
deterrent.
The climb to the dome used
to be sport for high school stu
dents and the elderly guides
didn't accompany them. Bat the
hordes of graduating classes
which descended on the capital
before the war no longer ap
pear each spring. The office of
defense transportation sees to
that
In their stead are scores of
uniformed service men and
women, many of them from al
lied forces. They don't have to
pay the two bits required of civ
ilians to compensate the guides.
me soldiers, sailors, marines,
and their feminine counterparts
are "on the house, so to speak.
and the guides take turns coming
in Sundays to take the uniformed
visitors through on three special
trips. The capitol, closed Sundays
with the outbreak of the European
war, now is open on the Sabbath
for service men only.
During the week, the guides
throw the visitors' quarters into
a kitty which is divided evenly
among the six men and four wom
en who know the capitol, its arch
itecture and history, backwards
and forwards.
The guides get no salary from
Uncle Sam. But they are masters
of their subject and diction. One
woman guide formerly taught
public speaking. They stay with
it, too. One guide, James Craw
ford, has been describing the
paintings, stonework and goings
on for congress for 30 years. Capt
Harry Nash has been at it for 27
years or so.
One attractive brunette guide
thinks she could tell the visitors
"almost anything, and it wouldn't
sink in as they , trudge wearily
along for 45 or 50 minutes. But at
least one trip a day produces a
high quota of interest, and then
it's a swell job.
The . visitors are frisked by
gvards as they enter the build
ing,: and parses are examined
for weapons. Only one pistol
has been found. A woman had
it. A Tennessee -teorfst home
operator, she carried It for self
protection ' sad .explained Its :
presence' la her' parse with the
help of her congressman.
What do visitors like most in
the capitol? '
The house and senate.
But they're intrigued by the
accoustical phenomenon In, the
huge statuary hall ' which once
was the house chamber.
The guide stands over a certain
tile on one side of the huge hall
and whispers to the cluster of vis
itors . on the other side some 50
feet away. He can be heard dis
tinctly. ;r---.:t;:

That's the spot where John
Quincy Adams sat in the house,
and where he suffered a fatal at
tack of apoplexy.
Adams was greatly annoyed by
the accoustical wonders. A Whig,
he complained bitterly because the
democrats (then the republican
party) made so much noise on the
other side of the house.
The guides can't explain why
sound is tossed about and so mag
nified at that particular point.
Several experts have come up
with explanations, all different.
US to Foot
One Half Bill
For VNRRA
By SIGRID ARNE
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ, Nov.
(P)-The United States stands
13
to
foot about half the bill of recon
structing the postwar world, ac
cording to lobby talk here as com
mittees of the United Nations re
lief and rehabilitation administra
tion went to work today behind
closed doors.
There are two leading formulas
for paying the costs.
One would assess the UNRRA
nations which have not been in
vaded one per cent of their na
tional income. That could mean
for the United States a bill of two
billion dollars, if the levy is com
puted on the war-inflated year
of 1943. If the levy is computed
on the last pre-war. year for us,
it would mean around 900 million.
This first plan, obviously, would
make the United States the larg
est contributor, since it has the
largest per capita income.
The second plan, according to
Assistant Secretary of State Dean
Acneson, who . is chairman of
UNRRA's finance committee,
wouia assess each nation for
portion of its income from foreign
trade, solely. This formula would
mean a levy on a sum of about
900 million for the United States,
u computed from 1940 income
The percentage has not been set
tled, and the 1943 foreign trade
figure would mean little, since
such trade this year has
practically all lend-lease.

attack iff brisk fighting between
allied-held Casalagnida and nazi
held Atessi, and succeeded in oc
cupying important high . ground.
The straggle daring the past
week - has demonstrated con
clusively that the Germans still
cherish the hope of staving off
real attack en Rome . for -
months,' thereby nullifying any
prospects the allies have of us
ing Italy as a jumping off point
for farther assaults against ax
is-held Europe in the spring.
The terrain and the weather as
well as reinforcements of sever-,
al divisions which the nazi com
mand moved Into the line during
the past week combined to give
Generals Clark and Montgomery
one of the toughest assignments
any allied commanders have yet
faceL
The Germans have 11 divisions
(perhaps 165,000 men) on the line
now, and the Americans, slugging
t out with tough enemy , veterans
from the Russian front, found that
the mountain strongholds around
Mignano had been prepared with
meticulous care. '
Machinegun, mortar and even
artillery positions have been blast
ed out of solid rock ledges with
mines of every type planted along
every avenue of approach.
The advent of winter on the
battlefront found this situation:
1. The allies are 40 miles past
Naples but stQl are virtually dou
ble that distance from Rome a
month and a half after Naples was
taken over two months after Mar
shal Badoglio's capitulation.
2. The allies have achieved two
objectives in securing a great air
base system around Foggia and
are compelling the Germans to
throw into combat more than half
of all the divisions they had in
Italy when the Italians quit.
3. Foggia's airfields remain only
about 75 miles from the front
lines, closer than desirable for
permanent bases of the four-en-gined
bombers whose winter as
signment is to beat axis communi
cattions and industries to a pulp.
4. Rome itself is valuable pri
marily from a political standpoint.
From; the standpoint of ground
forces operating against really vi
tal and strictly military objectives.

miles beyond the present front

a mountain goat track from the
town of Porto Lago to the point
at which the Germans secured
their foothold on a bay on the

(Berlin radio said the island

British holdings in the Aegean

Bishops Call
For Unification
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 -(-The
Catholic bishops of the United
States, calling for a "good peace'
once victory is won, declared to
day it is imperative that nations
of the world unite in setting up
international institutions to main
tain peace.
But basic to the right ordering
of international relations, they
said, is "the recognition of the
sovereignty of God and of the
moral law, as treasured in the
christian tradition," and they ex
pressed some misgivings over
pronouncements of the Moscow
conference.
The declarations of the Mos
cow' conference do, indeed, open
the way to necessary international
cooperation for peace as well as
for war, they said. "In this way
they represent a definite step in
the right direction. They do not,
however, dispel the fear that com
promise on the ideals of the At
lantic charter are in prospect

Sen. Aiken Warns Grangers
Against Opponents of Progress
By OVID A.' MARTIN - f
: r.RANn RAPIDS. Mich- Nov. 13.-(P-Declaring both ma
jor political parties have been "perilously, close to moral bank
ruptcy" during recent years, Sen. George D. Aiken, Vermont re;
publican, cautioned farmers tonight to be on guard against off icer
seeking "opponents of progress'"
at the next year's elections. '
Aiken, in a speech prepared for
the 77th annual convention of the
national grange, said a large per
centage of farmers was elated at
results of recent elections because
they interpreted them as signal
ing the end . of bureaucratic gov
ernment. , - ;
"While L too, rejoice at the spir-
t which was shown in the states
of I New York, New Jersey and
Kentucky," he said, Yet I would
temper this rejoicing with a word
of caution. -..- j-
The American people are in
disputably swinging away from
the policy of regimentation and
reckless expenditures by govern
ment.: It must not go too far, how
ever.-" ' ' 4 " . :7i 1
"We don't want to return to
the feudal ages any more than
we want to adopt the policy of
communism, state socialism or
fascism. I see little choice be
tween living under an economic
dictatorship or under a political
dictatorship, except that' theo
retically we can always control
an economic monopoly.
Aiken gave this further warn
ing: There are those In America
who would repeal many of the
rightful advantages which agri
culture has achieved during the
past generation. There, are those
who would do away with . farm
cooperatives. " There are those
who would repeal the laws pro
viding for farm credit at reason
able rates. There are those who
would gladly turn the rural elec
tric lines over to corporate inter
ests. There are those who would
sell out American agriculture for
the benefit of certain industries.
There are those who believe mat
every man who is poor is respon
sible for his own misfortune."
Aiken made a plea for greater
unity among labor, agriculture
and industry.
"If we divide among ear
selves; if we permit sericulture
to hate labor and labor to hate
Industry; if we Indulge In race
rioting or food rioting or any
other preliminary to revolution
to a great enough extent, we
have a right to fear that, some
day, a military dictatorship will
take charge of vs."
The course America takes next
year, Aiken said, will speu not
only our future but that of the
world as welL
"Whether we want it or not.
most Of the' nations of the. earth
look to America for leadership
today. We will accept that leader
ship and pray that we may use it
wisely. It must not carry with it,
however, any pledge to support
the rest of the world. We should
not promise that which we cannot
do. We can only help the other
people to help themselves. We will
not do this by scattering Ameri
can resources in careless aban
donment. Above alL let us prom
ise ourselves that while we will
assume leadership, it will be lead
ership and not domination."
