It Is, however, too much to expect the war and the legislature to end on the same day. Word comes from London, Gestapo Boss Himmler is con ducting a shake-up of defenders of Berlin.

The Red Cross Drive The Red Cross is asking the nation for $200,000,' 000 to carry on the work of that organization for an other vear. When we consider the tremendous scope of the Red Cross, and its not excessive. Every dollar will be well spent To provide life-giving blood plasma for on-the-snot transfusion to men desperately injured in battle, To give kindly, much needed assistance to families of service men, ana to men a rate of several thousand To aid in rehabiliting hichlv necessary morale clubmobiles for men at isolated posts. To keep mail, packages of food, vitamins and medical supplies going to war prisoners. To carry on emergency foreign relief; teach first- aid and tram nurses aides literally millions of surgical VES, the work of the Red 1 fied for definition. It does so much to make the suffering of war a little less horrible a little more bearable. With time-tested understanding,' the Red time job of lightening the burden of sorrow, of calm ing fears, and easing the pain of the wounded of bridging the gap between home front. Of course, we must keep ness" during the critical months of decision that lie ahead. Of course we must keep the Red Cross at the side of our fighting men on distant battlefields and bivouacs. VIITH American fighting men storming the bas- tions of Cologne, with Marines slugging it out with the desperate defenders of bomb-shattered Iwo Jima, with Superforts riding the skies over flaming Tokyo, we simply cannot let down our war effort here at home. This Red Cross drive IS a part of the war effort a mighty important part. Failure to give generously in this current drive would amount to skirting an obligation and good American citizenship. e e WTE'RE hearing now, first hand, just what Red " Cross aid to war prisoners really means hear-r ing it from men rescued from prison camps in Ger many, from Santo Tomas, Cabanatuan and other in ternment camps pf the Philippines. Precious Red uross packages have meant the difference between life and death, between hope and desperation.' Now that we know how the Japs war we cannot take much stock m the assurance of Japanese propagandist Sadao Iguchi that prisoners 211 I A A - 11J.

But this is just your Red Cross dollars., , IN THE 1945 Red Cross drive, which begins here and throughout the nation tomorrow, a quota of $54,000 has been asked of Jackson county people.

The president's own manpower commission survey, showed only 150,000 workers needed in "must" in dustries (mainly munitions) and these shortages were in . rela tively few areas. The threat of the armed serv ices to draft 900,000 more men by June (chiefly from industry no doubt) has .been offset by battle news from Germany and the Pacific, which has encour aged senators to suspect the men will not be needed (they could not be ready for action for a year yet, anyway). BUT THE compelling under oil 1-eoenn tuhv tha fraehlv elected nreclHent and m.h nnur erful influences as the army and navy have not been able to get their way in congress in mis matter is that compulsion is unDODular both In coneress and among the people.

Hardin Pe terson (D., Fla.) of the house public lands committee, "and we hope to get It before the current session of congress." The bill also will deal with public lands used for parks. grazing and Indian reservations. but they probably will not be returned to tax rolls. Peterson said the present policy on those lands of paying sums in lieu ot taxes to local governments prob ably would be continued, but increases In the sums would be sought. Agitation Increases Agitation for such a bill has Increased trecently as the result of federal acquisitions for war industries, although congression al representatives from areas in cluding national parks previous ly have advocated a more liberal federal allowance.
