~SUMMER SHORTAGE OF MEAT PREDICTED
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (U. PJ). ~—War food administration officials warned civilians today that more meatless days are ahead. The meat scarcity, they said, will grow progressively. worse in the next few months and by August civilians probably - will experience
— the shortest supplies —in—10-years{-
More stringent ration of meat appears inevitable. ’ Major reasons for the meat scarcity are a sharply slackened pro-
- duction and large government pur-
chases for war purposes. "The bureau of agricultural economics, a statistical bureau of WFA, said that
- meat output in 1945 may ‘not total
more than 22,000,000,000 pounds, compared with 24,700,000,000 last year. The bureau previously forecast 22,750,000,000 pounds productiowr for this year. The bureau now fears that civilfen consumption during 19456 may sink to abouts 120 pounds per person or 27 pounds less than last year.

Curt Riess: ‘Goebbels Bohiers Reich's s Will Tor Final wg i
By CURT RIESS Times Foreign Correspondent PARIS, Feb, 12.—Germany has lost the war, from a purely military viewpoint, but the duration’ of hostilities will depend upon the morale of the German people.” Jf the Nazis can convince the people of Germany that it is “tHeir national duty” to continue to fight, the Reich is capable of carrying on the battle for some time. Therefore, Goebbels is more de-
“ cisive than ever, and it is quite

A Swiss paper believed “the people kept silent, thereby manifesting their longing for peace, no matter what the price.” But silence can mean determination as well as protest. ” L » 8 IF SILENT protest already is widespread, surely the. Berlin radio would not admit, as it did, that “some Germans are ready to surrender.” There are many indications from, interviews of prisoners and from reading between the lines in

He, the military genius and pro-

Only when the hordes come closer and make our homeland like a desert, then with weapons we will fight and chase them back. I am convinced that this is the way it will be and that- we get “closer and closer to victory.” v op THE GERMAN people are thus infected by the philosophy of the twilight of the gods and the end of the history of civilized mankind, spread by Goebbels, As long as such letters are possible, there is no reason to doubt that Goebbels has succeeded in making the Germans fight to the last.

Woacs are also doing marvelous work as medical stenographers. An Army doctor using a Wac in this capacity can take care of many more patients, for he does not need to retain mental notes or take time to write up 8 case before

The Army's goal is a unit of 100 Wacs to every thousand beds in Army General” Hospitals in
