WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 uTi
The allied setback in Europe
"will hit us between the eyes"
with new war production prob
lems, WPB Vice Chairman Sam
uel W. Anderson said today.
He added that the powerful
German counter-offensive makes
it impossible to predict an end
of the civilian production freeze.
Present urgent demands for
more shells, puns, trucks and
other vital materiel "certainly"
will be followed by armament
problems "as difficult as the ones
we have now," Anderson told a
news conference.
"I feel sure the present mili
tary situation in Europe will
come back and hit us between
the eyes in various ways, at pre
sent unknown," said the vice
chairman who signed the recent
order 'freezing; future civilian
goods production programs at
present levels.
"The purpose of the freeze is
to see that rising civilian pro
duction does not interfere with
urgent munitions cutput," he as
serted. "I haven't any idea
how long it will last, or how
long we will have critical short
ages in war materials."
Simultaneously, WPB an

I WFA said today it will offer to
j buy the 1945 domestic wool clip
at ceiling prices, less allowances
to cover transportation and mar
keting costs and a service fee.
The new war food adminis-
be essentially the same as those
in effect since 1943. They, arc
designed to assure growers near
ceiling prices.
Under the same ceilings now
in effect, growers received an
average of about 41 cents a
pound for wool sold to the gov
ernment in 1943 and 1944.
WFA has bought 558,000,
000 pounds of domestic wool un
der the programs. Of this
amount, the agency has sold
about 215,000,000 pounds, prin
cipally for the manufacture of
military fabrics.
Little domestic wool has been
going into civilian garments be
cause prices of imported wools
have been somewhat lower.
Sales of government-owned wool
are made at the ceiling prices.
The American soldier is not
afraid of anything, but he's the
most homesick creature when
he's at war in foreign lands.

THAT'S how the Germans
fight.
It was that way at the Kas
'serino pass,' In Africa, when for
days it seemed that Kommcl
surely MUST get in behind us
and wreck our whole campaign.
His failure was followed by col
lapse of the German effort to
hold Africa.
It was thus at Kharkov, when
the Germans smashed savagely
back at the Russians, but, when
their counter-offensive was stop
ped, turned tall and never quit
retreating until ithcy were out
of Russia,
' ' '
TT was so TWO THOUSAND
YEARS AGO. when Caesar
and his historian-general Tacitus
encountered the savage ancestors
of these savage present-day nazi
Indoctrinatcd Germans - In . .the
dark forests along tho Rhine,
Bedizened like Red Indians,
driven on to victory or death
by their WOMEN following
along behind with KNIVES to
SLAY those who turned back,
yelling like demons, these pro
genitors of the Germans who arc
crashing our lines in Belgium
today pressed home their fren
zied charges.
BUT, Tacitus says, when
finally stopped by the superior
arms and discipline of the Roman
legions, their remnants were un
able to gather themselves to
gether for further organized and
sustained warfare.
TT will lake more time than we
foolishly thought a few months
ago, but we'll WHIP these
fanatical nazis as we'll whip
the fanatical Jnps.
We're better men than they
arc.
Our Indoctrination In the
ideals of freedom and Justice
and the riahts of the Individual
i man is better and sounder and
TOUGHER than tho fanatical
kill-or-be-kllled indoctrination of
the Japs and the Germans.
npIIE Important thing at the
-1 nvwicnt is for us hero on
tho homo front to tighten our
belts and face our Job as grimly
and as efficiently as our men on
the fighting fronts arc facing
their Job.
