PARIS NEWS, FARIS, TEXAS en. Vatufin Swings Toward Rumania, Poland Two'Railroads Cut Out of German Communications Bj HENRY C. CASSIDY MOSCOW, Gen. Nikolai Vatutm's Fust Ukiaine Atmy swung southwest of Kiev Tuesday a new plunge towaid Rumania and tlie old Polish border, rutting two laihoads out of the Germans' fast-dwindling network pf communications and threatening the flank of the enemy forces along the lower Dnieper River. Vatutin's spectacular advance through the town of Andrushevka; 120 miles from the Rumanian frontier, was preceded by terrific artillery barrages.

It carried his troops forward approximately 40 miles from the starting point of his offensive in the Brusilov'sector to within 15 of. the Zhitomir- Odessa lateral railway line. This strategic railroad, which Nazi Marshal Fritz von Mannstein cleared at heavy cost by ill- fated November tank onslaught, was again in. imminent danger, according to dispatches from the front. Capture of Andrushevka put the Russians 20 miles northeast of the key rail city of.

Befdichev, even closer than they, were last month before von. Mannstein's attack pushed them back from the Zhito- mir-Korosten sector. Berdichev is on a major Axis railway feeding German forces in the Ukraine from Poland. The Soviet forces, turning southwest from crossed the east-west Fastov-Zhitomir railroad another line running frois Kiev to Vinnitsa Zhmerinka which controls the eastern web of the vital Warsaw- Odessa rail network. They passed "Vcheraishe, a town 70 miles southwest of Kiev.

Vitebsk, the White Russian fortified zone which is the goal of the other current Red army offensive under Gen. Ivan C. 3ag- ramian, has been virtually isolated, following severance of the Vitebsk-Polotsk railroad Monday. Germans in the Vitebsk sector now have a single esape rail link, leading south to Orsha and then southwest through Minsk to Poand. DEATHS MRS.

Food and Songs Were GI Objectives Christmas Day By MARIANNA MCWHERTER Twelve thousand one hundred and thirty-six Camp Maxey soldiers stormed the Lamar Avenue USO Christmas Day with a.unani- primary Armed with what they were sure was more candy than the recreation hall would need for soldiers the following week, directors and voluntary helpers were well prepared for 'the men in' but not one piece of that candy was left. If boys are boys the world over, then soldiers are soldiers, as the saying goes, for no matter from what section of the United States these "real live nephews of Uncle Sam" carne, as they all chose the same form pf entertainment as their Sweets were the preference, of course, but all the free nuts, fruit, cakes, pies, candy and coffee disappeared with great rapidity. These sweets were made by individuals In Paris, with the USO furnishing sugar.

One young man seemed to be a pretty good representative of his brother-soldiers, a USO director related, when he came in from camp saying he had just enjoyed a very filling turkey dinner, with all the in the mess hall. said the director, I was just going to offer you an invitation to turkey dinner in a private home, but I see you've already oaten." "Oh. replied the soldier quickly, "I'll take the invitation. I can eat another one." And he did. Later he returned to the USO and told of the splendid meal he had the second "His was truly typical of the appetites the Army had on Christmas Day, vouched helpers at the USO.

Although the boys reportedly ate and liked all kinds of food, they preferred not to be given dainty sandwiches, but hefty thick ones, choosing the most filling food they could get in even- case. Ladies who helped serve the boys noted that most of them preferred chocolate cake, chocolate pie, and chocolate candy. Of course there had to be an exception in every case, and even this Christmas Day had its "old member" ol the crowd. He was a soldier who refused every. invitation to dinner -in private homes, because he.said, he was homesick and wanted to be homesick all day.

A story told on one of the boys who came to the USO runs as follows: One day at Camp Maxey a group of "rookies" who had just arrived, at the camp were standing in line outside the mess hall waiting to eat, when one of them just from the hills of Tennessee, looked in the window. "Oh, boy!" he exclaimed. "We got nie!" "What kind of pie?" asked his buddy. "Why, 'later pie. naturally.

What crther kinds are there?" Many soldiers who were given Christmas dinners in private homes in Paris came ihf. USO and talked of the "wonderful" food and splendid hospitality they found in Paris homes: they seemed really to appreciate it, 'hostesses said. Although food was uoDermost on the boys' minds on Christmas and they spent a great deal of time eating, singing ran a fairh- close second in entertainment. Packed so tiahtly in the buildin" that ore walk at the fellows joined in songs that covered nearlv every musical niece wbieh has been written since "mother was a girl." They broke forth in all the Christmas carols, of rourse, followed bv the "old-timers" such as "When You and I Were You nit Maggie." "Down By the Old Mill Stream." and "Mv Darling Clementine." Then the rafters rang with Army songs, "White Christmas," "For Me and Mv Gal," and currently popular numbers.

All, of course, will fall into the necessities of the grand plan of which President Roosevelt. Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Marshal Stalin sealed their approval, but certainly the Mediterranean and its Adriatic and Aegean waters will ring loud in that harsh, majestic orchestration of violence written in outline by the master composer at Teheran. The wide belief that the Russians would not be too enthusiastic about an Allied invasion of the Balkans appears to have lost much force because if the understandings reached at Teheran. And, after all, the Mediterranean embraces a wide area, Including southern France. Finally the political prerequisites for a major camoaign in the south of Europe have been met to a degree nowhere else visible with Turkey turning toward our side and Germany's little Balkan associates pulling away from her as far as they dare.

Nation Is Reading Fewer, Better Books CHICAGO, (fl 5 of the nation's public libraries, the American Library Association said Tuesday, are not reading as much in wartime as before Pearl Harbor, but the quality of what they read is improving. The Association said its annual year's end survey of reading interests among users of public libraries shows an almost universal drop in reading. Light novels and non-fiction, read purely for entertainment, have lost their popularity, the Association rworted, but practical reading, although decveasrd in volume, has'intensified. Also, there is a greiiier popular interest in world activities, not only in wnr news but in international politics.

Contacted at his home in Bonham, Judge Brcadfoot said he would examine the motion, when it is filed, and if the prosecution's reasons for not appearing Monday were satisfactory, the case would be heard, possiby next Tuesday, or later. The judge added he granted the Attorney General's office tliis means of re-opening the case Monday when it was dismissed. Cartiidge Tuesday explained why the petition for injunction was not prosecuted by the State of Texas in 6th District Court here Monday. "This is not an apology, but a fact," Cartiidge declared.

"I fully intended to be here Sunday night to report in court Monday, but instead I was in Athens at the bedside of rny mother, who is critically ill, and was advised not to leave. "Owens, who filed the petition, advised me by long-distance 'phone that the reason he was not here was because lie was ice bound in West Texas," the Liquor Control Board deputy supervisor said. I Horace Coon, of the Paris Liquor Control Board office, said the statement credited to him in Monday's Paris News that "Mr. Carl- lidge was out of town taking his Christmas holidays" was actually made by an attorney for Mr. Perkins.

IL. W. Jackson and daughter. Miss Vera Mae Jackson, Burnprd and! Weber Jackson, Mrs. Claudie Stout and Billy Joe King, I Today On the Home Front By JAMES MARLOW And GEORGE ZIELKE WASHINGTON, Here's an ABC treatment, if you headache trying to follow the fight over the steelworkers' wage although don't guarantee a clear head when you're through.

The called a joint 1 a r-rhanagement conference Dec. 17, 1941, ten days after Pearl Harbor when it was clear the government would, have to try to control wartime costs of living. The conference agreed that for the war's duration there should be no strikes or lockouts anctethat all labor disputes should beset- tled by peaceful means. So the President created the War Labor Board for that purpose on Jan. 13, 1942.

The board 12 members, four representing the public, four representing labor, four representing industry. On January 30, 1942, Congress passed an act authorizing prices stabilized and at the same time directed the WLB to work "toward a stabilization of wages." On April 17,1942, the President sent his "cost of living" message to Congress. Then on July 16, 1942, to make a decision which was'far- reaching but this was'what led up to There.are four steel companies, Bethlehem, Youngstown, Inland and Republic, known as. "little steel" in contrast with the gigantic U. S.

Steel Corporation. The 180,000 United Steel Workers of America (CIO), employed in little steel, had: asked a raise "of SI in the spring of 1942. The': WLB examined their case'and found that between January 1, 1942 and May, 1942 they had totaling 11 per cent while in that same period living costs had gone up 15 per cent Now, that requested $1 a day increase woud have been about 12 1-2 cents an hour. The WLB said "No," that in order to keep the workers-, abreast of the rising living Jan. 1, 1941 and May, were entitled to only a 4 per cent raise (94 5V, cents an hour) which added to, the 1.1 per cent they already had received would give them a total increase of 15 per cent, or the.

same increase that had occurred in living costs. On Oct. 2, 1942, Congress passed an anti-inflation act, directing that "no employer shall pay, and no employe shall receive, wages or salaries in contravention of the regulations promulgated by the President under this act." The next day, Oct. 3, the President issued an executive order giving the WLB authority to grant increases above the level of Sept. 15, 1942 only if "such increases were necessary to correct maladjustments or inequalities, to eliminate of living, to correct cross -or to aid in the effective prosecution of the war." And on Nov.

6, 1942 the WLB unanimously adopted a wage policy under which increases to cor- rest maladjustments would be limited by the little steel formula it had arrived at the previous July. But meantime living costs kepi going up. The government was failing to hold them down although it was holding down wages. Anti- John L. Lewis' coal miners repeatedly were striking for higher pay.

The WLB wouldn't grant the miners' demands on the ground they violated the little steel formuln. Finally when they struck last fall President Roosevelt ordered interior secretary Ickes to take over the mines and Ickes worked out an agreement with the miners. The steelworkers saw Lewis get more money. They decided they'd try for more money. This, of course, would destroy the little steel formula, since the steelworkers apparently are not entitled to more money under tiie little steel formula.

But the steelworkers can out that living costs now have gone up 23 1-2 per cent since January 1, 1941 while their wages have been increased only 15 per cent. But all the rumpus of the past week was not over those demands at all but over something else, a thing called "retroactivity." The the steelworkers to keep on working under their olci contract until the WLB can reach some decision on their ge demands. But the CIO contended that, if they did, any adjustments would have to be retroactive to the time when these contracts actually ran out, or, this week. So, if they got a wage increase two months from now. the increase, would extend all the way back to now.

The future alone will show how that comes out. Tne result may not be known for months. Bui if the Steelworkers can get more money, than the United Automobile Workers will undoubtedly want more. And, in due time, maybe other groups will, too. WOMEN WORKERS JOIN IN STRIKE These women war workers at the Union Steel Company of Pittsburgh join with oth- er members of the United Steel Workers of America in a work stoppage while awaiting a new contract.

(AP Wirephoto). Don'f Look Now But- By VIRGINIA WOMACK Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, of the insulting ad libs together, and apart, are two perennial favorites of America's radio editors, according to Radio Daily's 1943 report. Bing' has taken over Bob's 1942 place as leader in the, "entertainer" field and Bob is now tops among commercial programs. What the difference is, exactly, is as clear to you as to me. "One Man's Family" maintains its place at the head of serials, with "Vic.

and "The Aidrich Family," "I Love a. Mystery," and "Those We Love" coming next, in order of votes cast. "Information Please" gave up its top ranking among quiz shows this year to Chicago's Blue network favorite, the Quiz Kids. In fairness to the grown-ups, it must be pointed out that the kids received 794 votes to the older folks' 726. Dr.

I. Q. was in fifth place with 192 votes, Kay Kyser College of Musical Knowledge was eighth with 76. 'The Lone Ranger" and "Lets Pretend" tied for first place among children's shows. Jack Annstrong was next, and Superman(I) was seventh.

Like in high school, maybe, one honor leads to another. So Bob Hope finds himself favorite comedian of the radio editors. Jack Benny, Fred Allen, Ed Gardner, Edgar Bergen, Red Skelton, ber McGee and Molly, Groucho i Marx, Jimmy Durante, and Eddie Cantor came in following places. Likewise Bing takes the lead I ovtr all popular male vocalists, polling 1,010 votes to Frankie Sinatra's 520, his closest competition. It would seem the swoon and croon clubs are losing their grip on the radio editors, who may prefer the mellow tones of Bing to this new-fangled stuff.

Near Frankie were Dick Haymes and Dennis Day, and far behind were Perry Como, Kenny Baker, Barry Wood, Frank Munn, Bob Eberle. Ray Eberle, and Frank Parker, all named in order of votes cast for them. Still quoen of popular female vocalists was the husky-throated Dinah Shore, but not far behind were Kate Smith, Ginn Simms, and Frances Langford. John Charles Thomas led classical male vocalists, followed by Richard Crooks, James Melton, Nelson Eddy, Lawrence Tibbett, Jan Peerce, Frank Paul Robeson, Ezio Pinza, and Lc.uritz Melchoir. Lily Pons took top honors among female classical vocalists with 556 of the radio editors' votes.

Gadys Swarthout, Mlarian Anderson, Dragonette, Grace Moore, Lucille Manners were next in popularity. The New York Philharmonic- Symphony received 830 votes for outstanding symphony program, followed by the NBC Symphony, the Boston Symphony, and the Cleveland Symphony. Harry James wolfed up top billing among swing dance bands, but Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Jimmy Dorsey, Woody Herman, Cab Galloway, Kay Kyser, Bob Crosby, and Les Brown were right behind him. Guy Lombardo's is still the favorite sweet dance band of the radio editors. Sammy aye, Fred Waring, Tommy Dorsey, Freddy Martin, Kay Kyser, Wayne King, Glenn Miller, Paul Whiteman, and Horace Heidt came next.

The American School of the Art barely nosed out the University of Chicago Round Table 358 to 348 for outstanding educational series. American Town Meeting was third with' 25-i voles, and Information Please fourth with 170. News commentators were led by Raymond Gram Swing this year. H. V.

Kaltenborn was a fairly close second, only 96 votes behind. Next were Fulton Lewis, Lowell Thomas, Walter Winchell, Raymond Clapper, Earl Godwin, Gabriel Heatter, John W. Vandercook, and William Shirer Bill Stern lea the sports commentators, followed by Ted Musing, Red Barber. Harry Wismer, Don Dunphy, and others. Favorite dramatic show of the year was the Lux Radio Theatre.

Screen Guild Players, Cavalcade of America, followed up. So ends the 1943 poll of radio editors conducted by Radio Daily to determine most outstanding radio prog-ams and stars ot the vear. Complete Bolivian Shift Possible WASHINGTON, of a complete shift in the make-up of the new Bolivian government emerged Tuesday with the expected arrival here of Gen, David Toro, former chief of the Bolivian Military Purchasing Commission Washington who was reported last week to have headed an abortive counter-coup in La Paz. Toro arrived Miami mysteriously after disappearing in Chilean Embassy in La last week, when it was evident that- his coup had failed. He was expected here Tuesday.

Unofficially it was suggested that Toro, a former president of Bolivia, hopes to confer here on the attitude' of this government toward developments in and consider plans for organizing a new Bolivian government. Secretary of State Hull has already made it clear that the United States will not recognize the present Bolivian regime until questions as to anti-Allied participation in its whirlwind accession to power have been cleared up. A recommendation that all the American republicans consult taking any action toward recognizing the regime was made by the Inter-American Political Defense. Committee in Montevideo, and Hull promptly forwarded "wholehearted" American approval of the proposal. Several prominent Bolivians of different affiliations are now in North America, and it is believed, that Toro may consult with them.

Subsidy Battle To Take Spotlight After Holidays WASHINGTON, MV-Efforts to compromise the hotly-waged food subsidy battle were spurred Tuesday by a prediction of Senator White of Maine, acting Republican leader, that the issue would be settled soon after Congress reconvenes next month. While White did not forecast the probable basis for agreement, he expressed confidence in an interview that some middle ground could be reached between administration and farm bloc supporters. Democratic Leader Barkley of Kentucky, less hopeful of an early agreement, said he would be ready to start conferences next week with available members of the banking committee. Barkley and Senators Bankliead (D-Ala) and Taft (R-Ohio) were named as a. subcommittee to attempt to reach a compromise before the group approved legislation, later passed and signed by the President, which extends present subsidy payments until February 17.

With the subsidy controversy marked as No. 1 in importance for the returning legislators, Barkley said the Senate will begin floor consideration of the next tax bill about January 12, after President Roosevelt has delivered his annual message- and submitted the new budget.
