Seventh .Ohio District N e w developments are coming bo 1 Tapidly in the North African cam* paign of the American Expeditionary Forces that even official Washington is having a hard time to keep up with ihp news. - However, there is a dis­ tinct feeling here that the importance of the African operations cannot be overestimated. ‘•Most observer^ Re­ lieve the successful landing of Ay mierican troops in North' Africa, marked a turning point in th e ,war, and that from now on until the end the Axis -Powers will he very much on the defensive. I f the combined British and American forces can clear North Africa of the enemy, while the war fleet of the United Nations takes command of the Mediterranean,- the result will be such a staggering blow to the Axis as to .virtually guarantee a United Nations victory, either in late 1943 or*'in 1944. Italy J s in ,an -.especially difficult .position, and fhere are many indications that an invasion ’of“that country' is next, on the United Nations jschedule. Germany Is re­ ported to be rushing -many divisions of troops, into Italy for its defense, while other thousands of Nazi sol-, diers are swarming _into the Med­ iterranean .coast area of France. AH of this, ,of course, relieves Axis pres­ sure on the Russian, front. From within Europe comes many stories that the people o f the occu­ pied countries, • and especially of France, are awaiting the proper time and signal to begin a general upris-. ing and revolt against the invaders. In North - Africa thousands of •French troops have| joined the United , Nations cause. Some units of the French Fleet havO,already turned against the Axis and may be folldw- ' ed by the balance of the Fleet At any time, From Italy comes'reports of dissension* and a jittery and fright* . aned leadership.. The Mussolini-gov- ernment is- most unpopular,, and it Is claimed that, only the presence of many thousand of German troops haB,prevented, open revolution. From ‘the German Reich cpme stories that disillusionment and defeatism are rampant*, with much grumbling in both civilian and military ranks, and that many high Army officers, are ° openly critical .-of Hitler and his re­ gime. Anything cart and, may hap- •>‘pen within Germany this winter, es­ pecially if the .-Airis armies suffer a few crushing defeats. ; DIVORCE SUITS Lawrence William Cremeena seeks a divorce from Dorothea Catherine Cremeens, Washington C.

Maas of Minnesota, rank­ ing Republican member of the HOUse - Naval Affairs Committee, and a Col. , in the United States* Marine Corps, ( who has just returned from active * r duty in. the Solomon Islands cam­ paign* Maas.blasted the Adminis­ tration’s conduct of the wan with Japan in * fadio speech last Thurs- ■ day night. It,is. reported that, strong ^ efforts were made and heavy pres­ sure brought to ‘prevent Maas from delivering his sensational address, In which he charged that high-Washing­ ton officials have issued "misleading and ofttimes false” information about the progress of our War with Japan. Maas** who, spent four months of act- 5 iVO fighting in the Pacific, told his listeners—“Unjustified optimistic, re­ leasee created the impression that nil was proceeding well in bur war with Japan. Our naval losses were played doWn and concealed from the public long after Japan knew all about them. Many of the disasters that have attended oUr military operations - in the Pacific in recent months have been well known to everyone but the ’ , American public”. According to Maas, defeats aiid disasters have been distorted into successes and victories. He bluntly charged that- "One naval battle was* and still is, publicity Claimed as an American victory* when in fart, Our losses were greater and fa r flufre serious than those of the Japs,” The Minnesota Congressman also made a plea for a - ■ coordinated and unified command to be pu t in charge of our war effort* * DIVORCES GIVEN The following divorces were award­ ed; James Wilson, Jr., from Louise Wilson; Dorothy Crawford from John S.

Deal State Auditon Joseph Ferguson, Pem., sends us a statement relative to an investigation of old,, age pen­ sions and how the White House turn­ ed down Ferguson’s request for an investigation. Ferguson says, Marvin fMcIntyre, secretary to Roosevelt, had informed hint by phofte.there would be an in­ vestigation. Ferguson also charges the; Cleveland regitial, office of the federal social security board as “a Bricker tool”. That the White House and a Dem­ ocratic Auditor should try .to involve Gov. Bricker in the controversy is a joke, .Roosevelt rules the social se­ curity setup with the aid of organ­ ized labor. All Ohio wants, is the $1,000*000 the New Dealers owe the st&te for money advanced for old age pensions under Martin L. Davey* So far the government-has refused to repay Ohio taxpayers.

AU bills die with adjournment. These states require a poll.taX before the negroes can vote. The show staged jiOWit a burlesque on legislation.

GOVERNOR PROCLAIMS “BOY BOND WEEK** Farmers May Sell Turkeys At Any Price The New Deal having frozen tur­ key prices at 35c has created a storm among (hose who have reared the birds for market on high priced spe­ cial feed and having, paid as high as fifty cents per turkey chick, The mortality rate ,n young turkeys is said to be even greater than raising quail. With a retail price of 85c a pound for dressed turkeys it means the grower cannot get more than 26c, from the packers, This leaves the packer but lo‘e a pound fu r delivery and dressing let alone the loss by shrinkage* However the farmer is not forced to sell his turkeys to packers. He cart sell to individuals at fifty cents a pound, dressed or undresed just as he pleases. He is selling his owri product* • With pork chops frozen, in the city retail markets at fifty cants a pound turkey growers feel they have been discriminated agaittst by Henderson’s order* , • Hunting Season Starts Friday, Nov, 20 Fall hunting Opens in Ohio on Fri- Iay, Nov. 20* on pheasants, Hun­ garian partridge, rabbits, grouse and ‘accoon. .

Ohio hunters will find one of the best game crops in years awaiting them according to recent observations nade by field men of the Division )f Conservation and Natural Re­ sources. And they will find more than 165,000 acres of public hunting lands, controlled by the Conservation Division* open to them free. More than 87,000. pheasants have been released by the Conservation Division this year, the-’ largest re­ lease ever made in Ohio, Commissioner- Don Waters today urged sportsmen to take common- sense safety precautions While hunt­ ing and also urged them to be real sportsmen, to ask permission Of the farmer before hunting on his land ind to so ^conduct themselves that they might he welcome guests on that land. "Be careful* Be courteous this hunting season”* That is the plea of the Ohio Division of Conservation, hoping that its slogan of "Hunt safely- -Return safely” will mean a great reduction in hunting accidents and fatalities this year.
