'While the bulk of Rommel's

Into Tunisia and joined the axis
Tunisian forces command of
Col.-Cen. Jurgen von Arnim,
axis rearguards were reported
still filtering through Zuara, 65
miles west of Tripoli, under vio

In Russia
- On the soviet front, Russia's
armies drove their battle lines
closer to the great German base
at Rostov and deeper Into the
Ukraine today, spurred by Pre
mier Joseph Stalin's rallying
' cry: ' '
"Forward! To the routing of
the German invaders and their
expulsion over the boundaries
of our motherland!"
Usually taciturn, Stalin warm
ly praised the red armies, de
claring they had driven 245
miles, captured more than 200,
000 prisoners and routed 102
divisions perhaps 1,000,000 to
1,500,000 troops in their two-months-old
winter" offensive.
Soviet dispatches today said
Russian guerillas were operat
ing "in the Rostov area" and
credited them with wiping out
200 axis troops, destroying guns,
trucks and other equipment, and
recapturing 1200 head of cattle
and 3500 sheep ' seized by the
Germans from collective farms.

Your doctor adds at least seven years of
study to his high school education. Then he
spends one or more years In a hospital with
little or no compensation. Is it not reasonable
to believe that he Is better qualified to advise
you In matters of health than your well-meaning
friends who have not had this education
and experience? When you do not feel well
there are two safe things to do. First, consult
your physician. Then bring his prescription to

intense anti-aircraft fire, blasted
a 2000-ton vessel believed to be
a munitions ship and set tower

Another ', medium-sized Jap

Other allied planes dropped
1000-pound bombs on the Jap

Ten of the 12 printed forms
necessary to start the rationing
program already are in the hands
of OPA officials in Washington
and Oregon and the other two
will arrive shortly, OPA said.
OPA workers already have been'
trained on the scene in the com--plex
rationing machinery.
In general, the system of ra
tioning will be the same as that
installed in the 30 eastern and
midwestern states, with some
"simplifications which.have been
learned by experience." The
same stamps will be used, how
ever, and the forms will be al
most identical.

Washington which noted the ad

which is followed to head oft
inter-agency strife. Jeffers said
he didn't think it was necessary
because he spoke at a "question

Money Troubles
Meantime, the task of raising
new revenue to help counter
balance a national debt heading
toward the $210,000,000,000
mark confronted the house ways
and means committee.
Legislation to boost the debt
limit from $125,000,000,000 to
the higher figure will claim first
attention of the committee at
the opening meeting Thursday.
Manpower Talked
The Ruml pay-as-you-go tax
plan or a modified version also
was scheduled for early consid
eration. Committee members ex
pressed general agreement that
taxes, must be collected on a
current basis with deductions
similar to those for the victory
tax being taken from each wage-
earner's pay check. Opinion was
divided, however, on the best
procedure.
The manpower problem also
continued to harass lawmakers.
Senator Gurney (R-SJD.), scof
fing at proposals for ceilings on
armed force personnel, asked a
substantial increase- in the basic
40-hour week to permit a shift
ing of 6,000,000 workers from
industry to the farms.

Maybe. Let's wait and see. .

ANOTHER explanation is that
the Japs are consolidating

On Washington reports that a

Eccles said his office had not
been informed of the OPA plan

OPA has sent fuel experts
