Tonight's midnight melting of a seven-day sales freeze will sweeten the bitter shortage cup just a mite for the nation s java- swiggcrs. Then rationing sets in. From then on, each grown-up will be permitted to purchase one pound of coffee every five weeks. (The term "grown-up," as used here and hereafter, refers to persons of 15 years or older, and no chiseling regardless of how mature the children act for their age.)

Charles Michelson, 73-year-old publicity chief of the democratic national committee, has fired his Inst verbal barrage, he says, at the republican party. The veteran reporter, author and a ghost writer par excel lence of democratic campaign speeches for 13 years finally has done what he and many repub licans wanted for a long time: put the cover on his battered typewriter at party headquart ers and quit politics for good. "I'm straightening out a few things at the office," Michelson said today, "but officially I'm no longer with the committee." The publicist, claimed by many republicans to have been largely responsible for Presi dent Hoover's defeat for a sec ond term in 1932, declared he didn't have to submit a formal resignation because "I threw away my contract long ago," and he is "going to loaf."

EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) the ring MacArthur has drawn around them. We and the Aus tralians then resume the position-by-position attack routine. These attacks are bloody, hand-to-hand affairs. Today's dispatches relate that in taking one gun position that had been holding up our advance the Aus tralians lost 66 men, but killed 150 Japs. The Japs seem to be resisting to the death. pEMEMBER that our boys who are fighting with the Aus tralians are of the same SUP POSEDLY SOFT generation about which we were worrying only a few years ago profes sing to fear that easy modern living had weakened their fiber hopelessly. How wrong we were! T"ON'T worry about our Amer ican boys. They are proving themselves MAGNIFICENTLY on every field of battle. If worrying has to be done, let's worry about OURSELVES here at home. Compared with the record of our boys on the battlefield, our record here at home isn't much to boast about. . If we will only produce and buy bonds AS HARD AS THEY FIGHT, victory will be certain. 'pODAY'S dispatches tell us the allied nations are still thrilling to the heroic scuttling of the French fleet at Toulon. Rightly so. There, choosing death in pref erence to disgrace, spoke the REAL FRENCH. . TT was at Toulon, where he drove out the British and the Spaniards, that Napoleon got his start. Going on from there, he raised France from helpless impotence (brought on by bad leadership) to the FIRST POWER IN THE WORLD. It is significant that Toulon had been handed over to the British and the Spanish as the result of a quarrel between French factions (blocs, we call them in these days). ! . AS long as Napoleon's leader ship was sound and good (as it was in his beginning years) France went on and ON. When the basic narrowness and selfishness of Napoleon's character asserted itself and his leadership CEASED to be sound and wise, France BROKE AGAIN and went into the gutter. . TF France can find the right kind of leaders, she will rise again. Her people have always been sound when wisely led. They (Morocco French) put up a very gallant fight, and took care of our wounded the same as we took care of theirs. We sent them one ton of medi cal supplies. Maj.-Gcn.

"The commission members did pay their hotel bills to the end," Rougeron said, "but they took everything they wanted and were very demanding. We hated them but had to serve them. .

ECONOMY HELD ASSURED BYCONTRDLS WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 (AP) Price Administrator Leon Hend erson told congress today that' war-time controls over the cost of living "assure farmers and labor of the most ' favorable economic position in American history." In a report covering the April 28-August 1 period, Hend erson said the quarter ended with "inflationary pressures of the most serious character and dimensions threatening our price ceilings , and the entire stabilization program," but add ed: Income Estimated "Fortunately since the close of the quarter great headway has been made. Henderson's report said; ' 1. Farm cash income, includ ing government benefit pay ments, is estimated at $15,tuu. 000,000 for 1942, a level 79.3 per cent above 1939.

' In manufacturing industries, average hourly earnings in May were 31 per cent above the level of August, 1939. Allowing for the increase in the cost of living they were up HVi per cent. By May, 1942 weekly earnings were up 53 per cent from the Atgust,- 1939 level.
