Task Bigger
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 -flp)
'JJernard M. Baruch was described
'V.tonight as believing that it will
t;be a bigger task to get America
-back to a civilian way of life
'than it was to organize the nation
f for war. t "
He said the war production
U board should handle the demobi
lization of war industry; that the
I men who "wound up production
.'should unwind it"
The senate postwar planning
.committee recommended mean-
while that congress immediately
i .set up a central agency to plan
' and direct the ,, nation's war-toll
peace transition, warning that the
lack of proper planning in ad
vance of the war's end might re-
suit in a disruption of the national
economy "for years to come.". I

A kind message comes "out of
the south Pacific to wives, sweet
hearts, yea,, and even sisters of men
serving in the sarong land which
the movies make seem sa-right.
Marin corps ' public relations
offices have released a story about
the arrival of one marine contin
gent which includes these juicy
bits: ? ; : -?
"Natives paddled to the ship
in dugouts. Marines were impa
tient as they approached.
"Stentorian voices bellowed wel
comes. The Polynesians responded
witn tootny, ear-io-ear grins.
, "Native men and women came
aboard at night They presented
a native dance accompanied- by
song. ) -
"The women wore sarongs.
"The marines sighed. Dottie La-
mour never looked like this.
"Comforting!" you howl?
Ah, ' I know not one crack is
made in the quoted portions (or
elsewhere in the story) about how
the girls looked, but the sergeant
correspondent goes on to add that
the. marines sought and received
autographs,, found that the writ
ing of the girls was better than
their own. Not only were the na
tive lasses high schooj graduates,
"they i could discuss Cole Porter
or Shostakovich. They knew how
to recognize and steer clear of a
split infinitive."
Fond and foolish lasses, that
finished 'em.
Holman Battles
For Albany Lab
PORTLAND, Nov. 18-P- A
battle to place the electro-metallurgical
laboratory at Albany in
operation has been opened by
Senator- Rufus Holman (R-Ore.)
the Oregonian's Washington cor
respondent reported today.
Holman said he had protested
the war labor board (WPB) de
cision to delay work on the lab
oratory : until after the war, the
newspaper said.
Maury Maverick, head of the
WPB government division, replied
that the bureau of mines might be
able to transfer equipment from
other laboratories to Albany. "If
that can be done," he wrote Hol
man, "the whole picture may well
change."
Shortage of copper may still
halt operations of the laboratory,
however, Maverick said.
Portland Market

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 18 -
(&y- The city council decreed the
death sentance today for Port
land's rotating farmer-consumer
market
The vote of Commissioner Fred
Peterson killed an emergency ordi
nance providing for extension of
the city-supported market plan
which has enabled western Oregon
farmers to sell tons of surplus
fruits and vegetables during the
Autumn harvest season. The ex
tension would have kept the mar
ket running until January 1.
Peterson contended that the
harvest emergency w a s o v e r.
Farmers estimated they had yet
to market about 1,083,000 pounds.

TERS TS SOUTHERN ITALY,
Friday, Nov. 19.-0$-AIlled es
1 Umates today placed the aom-
ber of German divisions tied P
by allied and Independent mil-,
ttary actions in the Mediterran
ean area at "approximately 50,"
not including Bnlgar and Croat
: Tanits. - ;;5 11
; ' Of these divisions only 10 are
facing the Fifth and Eighth arm
ies in southern Italy; the rest be
long to Field Marshal Erwin Rom
mel's reserve in northern Italy,
Yugoslavia and the Balkans.
There are definite indications
that German manpower is drain
ing the bottom of the barrel,
while equipment also Is scarce for
new divisions or replacements.
This is seen in the three Ger
man ' divisions recently i thrown
against the allies on this; front:
the 94th infantry, the 305th in
fantry near the center and the
65th infantry. Mules and horses
were used for transport for these
nazi divisions.
Both the 94th and the 305th
have many inexperienced- men
while the 65th division, installed
at the center, has only two rifle
regiments instead of three. This is
the way the allied view put it:
"The arrival in action of such
divisions as the 94th, 305th and
the 65th suggests that German
units from the reserve pool are
not provided with the strength or
seasoning of former .years.
"And the presence of a strong
reserve in north Italy and Yugoslavia-suggests
that the German
high command felt it necessary
to strain their resources elsewhere
to provide support toward delay
ing the union of allied forces with
elements resisting in Yugoslavia."
The bulk of the German 10th
army facing the allies is dispersed
on a front facing Lt. Gen. Mark
W. Clark's Fifth army.
