Jan. tJ (IP) A new-found offensive power of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's forces has greeted successes from drives against the Japan ese on four widely separated fronts, a communique announced today. On one front, the announce ment said, two villages have been captured in a new offensive which apparently endangered the entire position of the Japan ese force along the Lunghai railroad south of the Yellow riv er, Chinese attention continued to be centered, however, upon their third great victory at Changsha in Hunan province. where the communique said the Japanese were fleeing north ward "in great confusion" after suffering 8,000 more casualties and losing 1,000 prisoners. The Japanese force of approx imately 100,000 which had set out from its bases around Tung ting lake In a third determined effort to take and hold the Hu nan capital and rice market was "finally engaged" on the line of retreat and completely smashed, the Chinese said. Chinese estimates placed the losses of this force at no less than 45,000 men.

CALMNESS OVER FOOD SUPPLY HIT BY SECY. WICKARD Washington, Jan. 12. (AP) Declaring the war was placing new, unexpected and as yet un measurable demands upon this country for food. Secretary of Agriculture Wickard today cau tioned Americans against being excessively concerned about prices and too complacent about supplies. Emphasizing that he did not wish to alarm consumers, Wick ard said they should neverthe less recognize now that events since Pearl Harbor had greatly altered the food situation. Be fore Japan struck, demands were limited mostly to this country and Great Britain. Supplies and production prospects appeared ample then. "But today no one can tell." the secretary said, "what the de mands upon us may be before the war la won. We may be called upon to furnish vast sup piles to allied fighting forces and peoples all over the world. We may want to send huce Quanti ties of food as well as munitions to the conquered peoples at the proper time so that they might neip aeieat the dictators. "In view of this prospect, I am concerned," Wickard said, "that the American people are more concerned about prices than the possibility that, In the future, demands might outstrip supplies.

(AP) With the axis' African corps re ported running short of fuel, the British middle east command de clared today it was maintaining its pressure on the retreating Germans and Italians in the El Aghelia area despite bad wea ther. The British said their planes In particular carried out most ef fective attacks on enemy supply columns and motor transport." In the Halfaya-Salum area of the Egyptian Libyan frontier, where an isolated axis garrison Is defying British attacks, the British said their troops captured about 100 German and Italian prisoners yesterday. They added the operations against that outpost were "pro ceeding methodically." The North African army of General Erwln Rommel was falling back slowly from Age- dabia with British mobile forces lashing at its stubbornly resist ing rear guard,' it was reported. Bomb hits were made on the mole at Tripoli and on stores and dumps at Buerat el Hsun and Sirte, an RAF communique said. Free French airmen joined in bombing gun emplacements and dugouts at Halfaya. British military quarters said an order found on a German pris onerone of 20,000 axis troops reported captured thus far In the Libyan campaign disclosed that Rommel s men had been directed to conserve fuel because of the difficulty of replenishing their dwindling supplies. "Owing to the great expendi ture of fuel on the eastern front the fuel situation of the relch is extremely stringent," the order said. Discovery of the order coin cided with a statement by Rear Admiral Henry Bernard Raw- lings, commander of a British de stroyer squadron, that German submarines were being shifted from the Atlantic to the Mediter ranean in an effort to halt the destruction of axil supply ships bound for Libya, GIRL'S FAST TALK FRIGHTENS THUG Ogden, Jan. 12 W) A pistol toter confronted Mrs. Edwin Stratford, daughter of Ogden Police Chief Trial C.

(P) The University of Oregon medic il school studied plans today to cut Its regular course from four to three years in order to pro vide a greater number of doc tors for wartime needs. David W. E.
