We so- Heit the support of All Unions. Material for publication must be authorized by the organization it represents, signed by the Presi- dent and Secretary, and bear the ' seal of the Local.

Two consolations appear. | Conditions could be much worse, and | winter is now on the downhill side. | EEE | | SO DEVIOUS AND UNDOUBTED- ly skillful are the methods of the | Nazi prapagandists that the world outside Germany has learned to be suspicious of anything they say.

That it won't be a long session, we hope—ana so does every- one else—members and citizens. A lot of work is ahead for the legisla- tors. Whether they can finish it with dispatch remains to be seen. Only if partisanship is placed before service, car there be any unduly prolonged session. STATE SENATOR JOHN J.

Never before have| | the radio broadcasters in the Reich | had such a tale to tell the German | people. Possibly some are telling the plain truth because there is nothing else to tell. It cannot be concealed | from the inhabitants of Berlin that| the Russians are overrunning great areas of German soil and coming in-| to the area of Berlin itself. What] purpose could be served, even in the| pattern of propaganda, by denying | it? | A kok kk THE APPARANT AIM OF THE propagandists is to arouse the ut- | most afforts of the Germans to hold | back the invader. There may be oth-| er intentions, including the promo-| tion of undue optimism among the| Allies. But the radio reporters and | commentators of Germany have been | talking like badly frightened men. Panic can become epidemic, and it, may not take much more bad news| | to make it so inside Germany. i ok ok ok ok | IN AN INTERVIEW OVERSHAD- | owed by the current war news, Ad-| miral Harry E.

Simon, Box 32, of the men called up at age 28 are Eckenrode Mill, Pa. 3t-50 rejected as physically unfit. The re- jection rate goes slightly over the 50 per cent mark at age 34, and climbs to 59.1 per cent for men 38. Of reg- istrants 44 years old, 63.2 per cent are turned down. Aoki de ok THESE AGE REJECTIONS, SE- lective service says, ‘‘are probably the best indication of the general un- fitness of men over 29 to take their places in the armed forces.” The sur- vey findings are based on a sampling of 20 per cent of reports on more than 9,000,000 men given physical ex- aminations from April, 1942, through December, 1943. Hkh IT SHOWS THAT THE HIGHEST rejection rate for the 21 months studied was among men employed in domestic service—at such household tasks as cook, valet and chaueffeur. Of the men in that category examined 59.6 per cent were turned down. The next in line were part time workers and the unemployed, 56.6 per cent, and farmers and farm managers, 59.6 per cent were turned down. The best record was among students. Only 25.7 per cent were rejected, presum- ably because more of these regis- trants are in the lower age brackets. ee Nee Classified Ads | RATES for 25 words or less | LOST—Gold bracelet with three pur- \ ple stones; Saturday night, Jan- uary 27; between Eagles and Leg- ion, or at either place.
