Axis War Strength
Hitler has been able to muster an estimated 12,000,000 men into the i : armed services and auxiliaries, of which some 210 out of 300 divisions of} &
troops are on the Russian front. About 35 to 42 divisions are required to garrison occupied territories, fighting guerrillas in central Europe and guarding against an allied invasion. . This probably is a peak for the axis. If it fails to crack the Red army this summer, experts doubt that such striking power can ever be mobilized by the enemy again. 2
Production Germany is turning out between 1100 and 2500 airplanes a month and 18 to 25 submarines, but the rate is slipping downward. Hitler may have 35,000 planes available but many are out-dated. He has plenty of war materials for the time being, but oil, cotton, wool and other vital materials are running short in Italy and interfering with his effort to make that country " a main workshop of the axis war machine. Hitler must get Russian resources soon or suffer crippling shortages of raw materials.
‘Losses
The Germans suffered probably 2,500,000 casualties in Russia, including 750,000 killed. Two and three members of many families - have. been killed.

Labor There is an acute shortage of labor, but the Nazis expect to have 4,000,000 foreign workers in war factories this year in addition to 1,600,000 prisoners. Women and children are also being crowded into factories, but there is a shortage. of 600,000 farm workers for spring lanting.
Transportation Deterioration of train service due to neglect and shortage of materials is increasing despite seizure of 250,000 freight cars and 3000 locomotives in France. This is one of the most acute war problems and is in-
tensifying. ] Food
The Germans probably eat better than any other people in Europe, but there have been new and drastic cuts in allotments this year and it was believed that another cut will come this summer, reducing the 1942 meat ration to the equivalent of about five hamburgers per person per week. The fat ration has been cut to less than half a pound weekly and potatoes to five pounds.
Loot
Germany has looted the conquered areas of Europe of about $36,000,000,000 in cash and goods, which is enough to pay. for Hitler's seven years of re-armament. The Nazis also have executed almost 400,000 persons, most of them in Russia, in carrying out their pro“Be my brother, or I'll smash your head!” It is estimated that 87,500 were executed in Poland, 5000 in Jugsoslavia, 3000 in Czechoslovakia, 1500 in France and Belgium and 500 in Holland.
Morale
The Italians are kept in the war and Mussolini is kept in power largely because of the threat of German occupation of Italy. German morale is definitely not at the breaking point but has suffered serious .blows due to, the reverses in Russia and the declaration of war against the United States, which was unpopular in both Italy and the reich, The Nazis are still firmly in power in Germany and likely to be ousted only if they suffer a great military defeat. Churches in Germany are crowded despite the Nazis’ efforts to discredit religious organizations. But the new slogan “victory at any price” has certainly not lifted the morale of a people already worried by the strength of the Red army and of American productive power. In an effort to achieve his aim of terrorizing any who weaken, Goebbels is filling the newspapers with stories designed to frighten the people into extreme effort and sacrifice. At the same time, he paints the United States as a land of screw balls and dancing showgirls. The show-girl theme is sometimes dropped in favor of stories that Americans are suffering terrible privations as a result of rationing and price increases,
Outlook Hitler still has a firm grip on Germany and Europe and with the aid of stronger propaganda shots in the arm, is intensifying the axis total war effort in hope of winning this summer before the strain becomes unbearable and before American productive power is fully effective. Only total war effort can beat him. No others need apply. ” 8 8 P.

Chuck was always battling the glant who lives in the bottle and he didn’t have time for a comeback. In fact, many sports fans believe that if it hadn’t been for his capacity for fun and high living, he would have been a champion.
Fought Topnotchers
In his time he fought the best of them and earned their respect. Among the men who felt his “rabbit punch” were Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney, Harry Greb, Sailor Larsen, Battling Levinsky, Tom Gibbons, | Mike - Gibbons, Eddie McGoorty, Tiger Flowers, George Godfrey, Young Stribling, Tommy Loughran and many others. Tunney called him one of the toughest fighters he ever met and Dempsey dubbed him the “greatest street fighter that ever lived.” Although not a knockout fighter, Chuck was quick and crafty, ne respecter of the rules when he was going full steam.
Career Began at 15
He started using his fists for money when he was a kid of 15. His last encounter was with the Italian giant, Primo Carnera, in St.
Louis. Chuck lost. He had been ous of the ring for 10 years. A man who probably earned a quarter of a million dollars when fighting ‘was in its heyday, Chuck was not a man to save money.

“the citizen’s charter of security against rising living costs” and contains the following general provisions: 1. All commodities sold at retail, excepting only’ those few specifically excluded by the order, are pricecontrolled. 2, The maximum prices are the highest prices charged by each individual seller during March. (Each store—even though part of a chain —is considered an individual seller). 3. Each store will have a different maximum price because the ceiling is based upon the individual store’s highest price in March.
4. There is nothing in the regula-
tion to prohibit a retailer from reducing his prices. However, no price can be above the ceiling price. 5. Important groups of commodities have been selected as ‘“cost-of-living” items. The ceiling prices for these must be displayed by every retailer in his store beginning today. Since the regulation’s most ime portant exceptions will be found in food markets, Mr. Henderson suggested that shoppers and storekeepers carefully note the following exceptions—the only items in food markets which are exempted from the ceiling order: Butter and cheese; condensed and other canned milk products; poultry and eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables (except bananas); flour; mutton and lamb; fresh fish, seafood and game; nuts, dried prunes and dry beans.

hurled . 150 tanks with infantrycarrying armored trailers into the line, attempting to relieve a trapped German garrison. The Russians drew in, permitting the tanks to wedge into their position, and then drove out, destroying more than 75 of the tanks and dispersing the rest. In another sector the Russians repulsed 15 furious tank. assaults, destroying 43 tanks. " The tank trailer corps apparently was resorted to in answer to the Russian tank-borne infantrymen who, supported by mechanized troops, were reported fighting a grim and merciless battle in the center of the main German fortifications before Kharkov. Unconfirmed reports said the eastern suburbs of Kharkov, Russia’s fourth city and key to the entire southern front, were ablaze, indicating that Russian troops might be only 10 miles from the city.
Russ Claim Air Control
‘To the south, the tirelessly driving Red army had pressed close to the railroad junction of Krasnograd, 60 miles southwest of Kharkov, where they threatened the enemy’s vital main line railroad to Kiev, Adolf Hitler's headquarters. Front dispatches told of an infernal welter of battle over a vast frontal area. There dispatches said Russian Cossack cavalrymen slashed through broken, fleeing German formations in some sectors. Red army planes, completely dominating the air, were said- to be sweeping at will over the front, flying as low as 70 feet, machine gunning troops, bombing fortifications and harassing retreating German transport. columns fighting for precedence on the crowded roads to the rear. In its last detailed report of the Kharkov offensive, now revealed to have started at dawn last Tuesday, Russia reported as of yesterday that its troops had advanced 12% and 37% miles at various places and had freed more than 300 towns and vil-
lages.
