How about these "prodigious strokes" Mr. Churchill declared Stalin was delivering? If your paper It telling tha truth the Russians are still fighting in the streets of Stalin grad. It this just soma more of the carefully cooked -up "freedom propaganda?" According to Mr. Leland Stowe who has just re turned from Russia, where studying the Russian army lull is merely a breathing spell. Almost any aay now another big smash against the hard-pressed Germans, he says, can be expected. And it will not surprise him to see Rostov and Smolensk retaken. SO that is the best answer we can give to the above query. Mr. Stowe having just returned from Russia, after frequent talks with Stalin, should know what he is talking about It should be evident even to an inquiring layman, that during a Russian winter, for either side, a fast- moving offensive, or sustaining any large offensive at all, are feats of great difficulty. With the best luck in the world no summer-time tempo could be ex pected. And while the Russian army is not only better fitted for winter warfare temperamentally and tra ditionally, but in the matter of winter equipment than the Germans, still when a blizzard rages and the mer cury drops down to 50 below, even the Russians can't make much progress. . CO it would probably be wise for our communicant ! to he natient and not early stage of the game. After all winter in Russia six months perhaps in the So Brother Stalin has plenty of time in which to justify the confidence and of Mr. Winston unurcniui Gas Shortage In Africa This is still a war of surmises. In the current news are several minor ones. This gasoline shortage on the Atlantic coast leads tiie procession not the fact so much as the cause., For most people supposed it was assurance of gas In the European war zone, that necessitated- the original gas rationing. And then not because of a real gasoline shortage so much as a transportation shortage. That can hardly be the case in this instance how ever. For depriving the private cars of gas in 17 east ern states would not ease any transportation bottle- necic S10 there must have developed a real and surprising ' gas crisis in North Africa with an SOS for more, remaps tne speea retreat was a contributing factor. Certainly nothing like the speed in reverse of Rommel has been seen since Gene Tunney's second fight with Jack Dempsey.

That might be excused at a grid-iron dinner, or a week-end party, but it is very strange indeed in the reeular course of the official White House schedule an incident to be subsequently placed on the news wires and sent all over the country, and all over the world 1 IF the offense was so reprehensible that it called for a presidential rebuke, then one should have been made in a dignified fashion with names mentioned and details given, in the regular course of the Chief Executive's conference. If the offense did NOT the President in his OFFICIAL capacity, then noth ing should have been done PUBLICLY, but the President should have told the reporter PRIVATELY what he thought of his article and his action and let it go at that Two More Surprises There are two more surprises revealed by the war this time by the draft No. 1 : The high percentage or illiteracy ana near illiteracy.

Addreaa Dr. William Brady, XU El Camlne. Beverly Hllla, Calif. INFLUENCE OF SUNSHINE AND EXERCISE ON THE CON DITION OF Due to prejudice and ignor ance, which prevails among the people in the Southwest as well a s elsewhere, a great many persons living In the South west fail to get as m u c h sun light on naked skin at they might easily enjoy, but on the average It Is p r o b a ble that people in the Southwest Dr. Brady absorb more ultra-violet than do people In any other part of the country, imnlv because more Is avail able more of the time and ex posure is more comfortable more of the time. The invisible ultra-violet rays of direct sunshine or indirect skyshine convert a substance In the skin called ergosterol Into vlnsterol. which Is vitamin u. Thi mnllsht-cenerated vitamin D is then carried in the circula tion to every part of the toay where it may be needed. A sup ply of vitamin D is essential for the normal assimilation and uti lization of calcium and phos phorus. Normal assimilation and utilization Is a fundamental fac tor in the development, growth and health of the teeth and In the prevention of caries or decay of teeth. If this alone does not account for the better teeth of school children in the Southwest, an other factor may have some thing to do with it. I believe people living In the Southwest get more exercise of teeth, gums and Jaws than do people elsewhere, simply be cause more fresh vegetables and fresh fruits are available more of the time in the Southwest, and these foods require more chewing than do refined, pre served foods. Aside from the effect of regu lar exercise of the teeth, gums and jaws in chewing, upon the nutrition of teeth, gums, jaws, palate, face, and on the develop ment, functional efficiency and physical beauty of teeth, jaws, face and the whole body, the whole body, the chewing of greens, fresh vegetables, espec ially raw vegetables, and fresh fruits Is nature's own way of keeping the teeth clean. Scientific Investigation of the cleansing effect of chewing, made by Holmes T. Knighton, D. D. S. (Jour. A. D. A., Nov. '42) led Dr. Knighton to conclude that the chewing of apples, sliced oranges and paraffin aid ed the natural cleansing mechan RAILROAD YARDS, WARSHIP HIT BY ALLIED BOMBERS Washington, Dec. 19 (U.B Allied heavy bombers In Tunisia hit an enemy warship in Bizerte harbor and the railroad station at Souse, the war department an nounced today. Allied fighters continued their sweeps over the northern for ward areas as well at providing escorts for bombers. From all these operations four of our aircraft are missing. Six enemy planes were destroyed. Text of army communique No. 271: "North Africa: "1. Heavy bombers made an other attack on Bizerte harbor yesterday. Many bursts were seen on the target, and an enemy warship was also hit. Three ene my fighters were shot down. 2. At Sousse our bombers scored hits on the railroad sta tion, the engine shed, a freight train and other targets. The rail way at Mateur and an enemy air field were also bombed. "3. Our fighters continued their sweeps and patrols over the northern forward areas, as well as providing escorts for bombers. One enemy fighter was thot down. "4. In the southern area our fighters attacked ground targets and destroyed an enemy fighter. "5.

THE TEETH ism more than any other sub stances tested. Dr. Knighton found that even careful brushing i ' the teeth with a toothpaste was less cleansing in effect than chewing an apple, for instance Of course, wash the apple with soap and water first. I refrain from saying an apple a day keeps the dentist away, but I do nonestly believe it would mater ially reduce the repair work dentists have to do if everybody ate an apple a day last thing at rugni.

It would appear that most. If not all these letters are being opened and read by one of several hundred employes of Byron Price, director of the of fice of censorship, without au thority of law. Senate and house had approved a censorship bill permitting opening of all mail sent from the United States to its possessions, but the first thing congress knew was that Price's crew were busy slitting envelopes, reading letters and making excerpts and the sen ate recalled the measure before it could reach the president's desk. It is said that tome of the officers in Alaska protested at letters from their wives be ing opened: certainly Territori al Delegate Diamond and Gov ernor Gruening have denounced the practice. In all Alaska there la not one Japanese. Such enemies as are in that vicinity are at Kis- ka and other Aleutian islands where no mail from the United States Is distributed and where the Japs apparently intend lo cating for the duration. There are no military secrets these Japanese could get that they do not already have. But the censorship, according to the committee that is making the investigation, apparently aims to keep the troops In Alaska in ignorance of what is trans piring in the United States. Censors have scissored out news items and magazine articles in publications destined for Alas ka, and all without one iota of legal authority. Alaskan cen sorship is so tight (it works both ways) that very little news of any sort comes out of the ter ritory. aaa FARM Security Administra tion is listed as one of the agencies that can be disposed of by the new congress through the simple process of refusing to appropriate money. .Farm security is operating in both northwest states and for several years there has been contro versy as to whether this activ ity should be dropped. It assists tenants to buy farms, furnishes .them a cow, horse and various implements and Is supposed to watch over them like a mother hen. FSA has clients in half a dozen counties in Washington and as many more in Oregon. In addition, FSA has a number of mobile camps which have been welcomed by farmers who need labor. There are such camps in the Yakima country, near Walla Walla, near Nyssa and in Willamette valley which are reservoirs f workers for seasonal crops. To these FSA has furnished money for movie tickets, transportation and, in the southern states, paid the poll tax of these people in order that they may vote. BOOST IN SUGAR Portland, Ore., Dee. 19 (U.R) Industrial sugar users In Multno mah county today were advised by the Office of Price Adminis tration that a "reasonable in crease" In their sugar allotment probably would be granted shortly.

Ice cream manufacturers, soft drink makers and others have fought for an Increase, pointing to Portland's sharp increase in population which they main tained the OPA had not consid ered In establishing quotas. SAN FRAN TELLS By Nick Bourne United Press Staff Correspondent San Francisco, Dec. IB (U.R) The heavy cruiser San Francisco sailed right between two lines of Japanese ships "like a duck In a target gallery" while the Japa nese battle fleets shelled each other, three wounded marines related tonight. "I saw a Japanese battleship blow up one of the Japanese cruisers with a broadside that arched over our own ship at we stood between them," Pvt. 1st Class Forrest F.

Dec. 19 (U.R) The government announced to night that a plot by the leftist revolutionary party to unseat the government and destroy Bo livia's republican political sys tem nan Deen discovered. Several directors of the party were arrested In the Potosi tin mining area and in La Paz. Announcement of the plot came five days after a strike of thou sands of tin miners started with a 100 per cent wage Increase demand, causing . the govern ment to declare a nationwide state of siege and to establish martial law in five mining dis tricts. The tin strike occurred at Catavi, belonging to the Patino interests and it has blocked pro duction of tin ore for the war efforts of the United Nations. A government spokesman said that the tin strike was promot ed by the revolutionary party, and the government tonight was seeking to establish documented connection of Nazi agents with the strike. YEAR END RALLY WALL ST. STOCKS New York, Dec. 19 (U.R) A year-end rally in stocks which lifted the industrial average to a new high for more than a year highlighted financial develop ments this week. The advance, which terminat ed an irregular decline that got underway on peace talk that fol lowed the United States invasion of North Africa almost six weeks ago, was attributed largely to technical rather than external factors. Traders were heartened by Im proving war news, but major impetus tor the betterment in stock prices came from a dwin dling of year-end tax selling and reinvestment of funds by oper ators who had withdrawn from the market during the past momn or to.
