This Week in the War

President Roosevelt told his press conference the American people "must realize they are faced with a world-encircling war. He said the first U. S. objective obviously is to prevent a break-through and at the same time cause as much damage to enemy resources as possible while we build up overwhelming superiority necessary to ultimate victory. The President sent a directive to all government agency heads ordering them to "determine those employees who may be promptly released" for work in the agencies most directly involved in war. Congress completed action on a $500,000,000 appropriation for aid to China and the President signed it. The State Department announced arrangements to co-ordinate and simplify economic matters between all the U. S. and Britain. The Agriculture Department said Lend-Lease agricultural commodities delivered to the British Government totaled more than 3,300,000,000 pounds up to January 1, 1942—enough to fill 69,000 freight cars and make up a train 575 miles long. RATIONING—Price Administrator Henderson announced nation-wide rationing of recapped and retreaded tires will begin ebruary 19. The rationing will be carried out through the same machinery now employed to ration new tires and tubes. Mr. Henderson said it is probable there will be no crude rubber available for retreading except for the small number of vehicles already eligible to obtain new tires and tubes. He said sugar rationing will be put in effect as soon as War Ration Book No. 1 is printed and distributed. The books contain 28 stamps and each stamp will entitle the holder to a specified amount—probably three-quarters of a pound per person each week. When the books are issued an appropriate number of stamps will be removed for any hoarded sugar in the family—as shown by a certified statement. False reports of sugar supplies will carry penalties up to $10,000 fine or 10 years' imprisonment. CIVILIAN DEFENSE — OCD Director Landis said the OCD will be completely reorganized to "gear it for action." He said "each person must have a clear and definite function; every person must be qualified to perform that function... We need to organize our forces and then hold practice tests to see whether then can function." The Division of Territories and Island Possessions reported women and children are being urged to evacuate Hawaiian Islands. Gas masks are being distributed to the entire population, bomb shelters are being rushed to completion, and 1,000 reserve beds have been set up. The House approved an appropriation of $100,000,000 for the OCD. The War Department cautioned civilians not to molest any military aircraft, friendly or enemy, grounded in civilian territory, because such planes often carry live bombs or ammunition. THE WAR FRONT—The Navy announced U. S. attacks on the Marshall and Gilbert Islands January 13 inflicted enemy losses totaling 16 ships and 41 planes, and destroyed fuel storage, ammunition supplies, hangars and other facilities of the Japanese. The Navy said the power and surprise of the attack was emphasized by destruction of approximately 85 per tent of the large Japanese bomber force on the islands and between 60 and 80 per cent of the shipping sighted. U. S. losses were 11 scout bombers missing and superficial damage to two ships. The State Department announced that at the request of the Netherlands Government U. S. Army forces have been sent to Curacao and Aruba to assist in defense of the islands and their oil refineries. The Army reported a week of sporadic fighting in Bataan and said reinforced Japanese forces were preparing for new assaults. During the week the Army and Navy reported at least 20 enemy planes were destroyed. U. S. losses included three tankers sunk in the Atlantic, an Army transport sunk off Hawaii and a submarine sunk off Panama after collision with another U. S. vessel. A "Combined Chiefs of Staff" group composed of top-ranking U. S. and British military officials was named to co-ordinate the war effort. ARMY — President Roosevelt asked Congress for 23 billion dollars in supplemental appropriations for the Army. The War Department announced the Army Air Force will be expanded to 1,000,000 officers and men this year and 2,000,000 in 1943. The President ordered all personnel of the reserves to active service at dates to be set by War Secretary Stimson. The President also ordered Federal departments and agencies to follow uniform practices in applying the Selective Service Act to Federal employees. Secretary Stimson announced all Army men will be immunized against yellow fever to make them available for service in areas where it is known to exist. He said to relieve the people of Ulster from added strain the American Army Forces in Northern Ireland will be supplied with food and equipment from the U. S., except for some fresh food products available in Ireland. SHIPPING — American shipyards, now launching ships at the rate of one a day, will double within 60 days and triple it within six to seven months, the Maritime Commission announced. President Roosevelt asked Congress for almost five billion dollars in cash and contract authorizations to expand the merchant fleet. The President established a War Shipping Administration, headed by Maritime Commission Chairman Land, to control operation, purchase, charter, requisition and use of all U. S. merchant ships to assure their most effective use in the war. The Commission awarded a contract for 36 Liberty freighters. Twenty-three American yachts, formerly owned by prominent U. S. citizens, have been presented to the Navy, Coast Guard and Maritime Commission. NAVY—The President signed the Navy Supply bill carrying 24 billion dollars in past appropriations, a bill authorizing $450,000,000 of additional facilities to build 1,800 minor combatant, auxiliary and patrol vessels, and legislation authorizing expenditure of $450,000,000 for naval shore facilities. The House passed and sent to the Senate a bill to allow commissioned or warrant officers as officers of the Regular Army. The Navy asked for loan of binoculars meeting certain requirements, either 6x30 or 7x50, and said they would be returned after the war is over. The Navy lowered the minimum age limit of mechanic-learners from 18 to 16 years. PRODUCTION AND CONVERSION—The WPB ordered all radio manufacturers to convert their facilities to war production within four months. The industry did $600,000,000 of civilian business last year, but already has had its civilian output cut 40 per cent. War Production Chairman Nelson said "conversion is the only straight, fast road to victory. This will be our principal goal for the next six months." The Department of Commerce estimated production for military purposes will constitute approximately 53 per cent of total U. S. industrial output in 1942, compared with 21 per cent last year. In durable goods about 80 per cent of total production will go for war purposes. The WPB announced war funds already authorized or now pending in Congress total approximately 116 billion dollars. The board said the Axis produced approximately 45 billion dollars worth of war goods in 1941, and to win decisive victory the U. S. must outproduce the Axis five to 1. PRIORITIES AND ALLOCATIONS—A drastic reduction in the manufacture of tin cans was ordered by the WPB in order to save approximately 40 per cent of the 40,000 tons of tin used by the canning industry last year. Small-sized cans and nonessential cans, including those for beer, tobacco, dried beans and dog food, are eliminated entirely after this month. The ban on sales of new trucks and trailers was extended to February 28. Prime war contractors and public health and safety officials may obtain immediate delivery of new automobiles by applying directly to the Office of Price Administration in Washington, Price Administrator Henderson announced. All nonessential use of Vitamin A was banned to assure sufficient supplies for the Air Corps.

The Flag of the United States of America - How to Respect and Display It

1—When flags of states or cities of pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States of America, the latter should always be at the peak. When flown from adjacent staffs the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. 2—When displayed with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs, the flag of the United States should be on the right (the flag's own right), and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag. 3—When used on a speaker's platform, whether indoors or out, the flag should never be reduced to the role of a mere decoration by being tied into knots or draped over the stand. For this purpose bunting should be used. The flag, if displayed, should be either on a staff or secured to the wall or back curtain behind the speaker with the union to the flag's right. 4—When flags of two or more nations are displayed together they should be flown from separate staffs of the same height and the flags should be of approximately equal size. 5—When the flag is displayed in a manner other than by being flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left. 6—Whenever a number of flags of states or cities or pennants of societies are to be arranged in a group and displayed from staffs with the flag of the United States the latter should be placed at the center of that group and on a staff slightly higher than any of the others. 7—When the flag is displayed in the body of the church, is shouldbe from a staff placed in the position of honor at the congregation's right, as they face the clergyman. The service flag, the state flag or other flag should be at the left of the congregation. If in the chancel or on the platform, the flag of the United States should be placed on the clergyman's right as he faces the congregation, and the other flags at his left. 8—When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting horizontally or at an angle from the window sill, balcony or front of a building, the union of the flag should go to the peak of the staff (unless the flag is to be displayed at half-staff). 9—Whenever the flag of the United States is carried in a procession in company with other flags it should occupy a position in front of the center of the line of flag or on the right of the marching line.

Ruth Posselt Fourth Artist With Symphony

Ruth Posselt is another American musician whose successes have refuted the idea that great musicians must be foreign-born. Miss Posselt is a native of Massachusetts, who abroad was claimed "one of the great." She will appear as the fourth guest artist of the season to appear with the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra, conducted by John Bitter. For the past seasons Miss Posselt has been playing on her Guadagnini (Jean Baptiste) violin, the instrument which she will use when she plays here on March 2 at Miami Senior High School. It is interesting to note that before she acquired this instrument she played many important concerts in some of the world's largest halls on a $250 fiddle, but, nevertheless, achieved a big success and was noted at that early date for her unusually powerful and beautiful tone. "Her tone is clear and bewitching, soft and wonderful, like a red rose just beginning to bloom," wrote one noted critic. This statement will readily be met when Ruth Posselt plays here, and it is said that she has always borne out that statement. Miss Posselt has toured Europe six times, appearing in recitals and with every major orchestra on that continent, including the Berlin Union. She played under Monteux and Paray in Paris, Mengelberg and Boehm in Holland and many others. In Holland alone she gave forty concerts in one season. Here in this country she has made many a transcontinental tour and has been soloist with orchestras, including the Boston, New York, Washington, Chicago, Detroit and St. Louis symphonies. Her latest successes have been at the Berkshire Festivals under the baton of Serge Koussevitzky.

Clephane-Terry Art Exhibition Opens on Monday

The Blue Dome Fellowship announces the opening of a two-man show of paintings by Marion Terry and Rosebud Clephane, Monday February 23, at the College Cupboard Gallery, 248 Giralda Avenue. Rosebud Clephane's paintings are well known to all local art lovers. She has exhibited in all the important local shows as well as the state shows, and has won many prizes, both here and in the North. She will show some of the beautifully painted still life, for which she is famous, also a group of portraits. One of the most striking portraits is of her husband, Commander Lewis P. Clephane, a strong and vigorous piece of painting. Marion Terry, a former Miamian, has returned to this city to live, after an absence of three years. Her work locally will perhaps be best remembered by a large painting of a lovely octaroon in a sarong called "Phoebe," an oil which took the two top prizes at the Florida Federation show in Palm Beach, 1939. Mrs. Terry will show "Phoebe" again, along with more recent portraits and landscapes and a group of small and very moderately - priced water colors. A graduate of the Albright Art School at Buffalo, New York, she has studied for many years at the Hawthorne School at Provincetown, Mass., and has painted and exhibited in New York and Virginia, as well as the state shows. A portrait painter of some note in the North, she prefers Miami for painting as well as living, and this present show will consist mainly of Florida subjects. The show will continue through March 14, and is open to the public every day except Sunday from 9 to 5.

LESSON-SERMON ANNOUNCED

Churches of Christ, Scientist. "Mind" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermons which will be read throughout the world on Sunday, February 22. The Golden Text is: "The Lord is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed" (I Samuel 2:3). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought; He maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth for-ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations" (Ps. 33:10, 11). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Mind alone possesses all faculties, perception and comprehension. Therefore, mental endowments are not at the mercy of organization and decomposition, — otherwise the very worms could unfashion man. If it were possible for the real senses of man to be injured, Soul could reproduce them in all their perfection; but they cannot be disturbed nor destroyed, since they exist in immortal Mind, not in matter" (p. 488:23-31).

The Estrellita Club of Coral Gables, Order of the Eastern Star, will sponsor a spaghetti supper at 7 P. M. Tuesday in the Masonic Hall, Douglas Entrance. Bridge and bunco will follow the supper in the clubrooms.
