DECEMBER 21, 1942 NUMBER 114 I BRITISH GUARDS WIN NEW TUNISIA POSITION Famous Warrior, Gen. Giraud, Succeeds Darlan By HAROLD V. BOYLE Anociated Preu Staf Writer ALGIERS, Dec. 27 (AP)—Gen. Henri Honore Giraud, famous French warrior who escaped from German prisons in two wars, was named unanimously today by the French Imperial Council to succeed Admiral Jean Darlan as High Commissioner of French Africa and was granted full military and civil powers. The selection by the Council governing the vast African Empire of the French was made a few hours after an impressive funeral was given his assassinated predecessor, a funeral in which Giraud himself paid his final tribute to Darlan. The believed here that Giraud's acces- assassin of Darlan was executed yesterday. Giraud, thus given lull power aa High Commissioner and Commander-in-Chief o( the French land, sea «nd air forces in French Africa, called for unity In an order of the day Issued immediately fetter his selection was announced. A French spokesman said Giraud has yet to select his cabinet of advisers. Attending the council meeting at which the famous soldier, now in his 60's, was chosen were Giraud, Gen Auguste Nogues, Governor of French Morocco, Pierre Boisson, Governor-General ot French West Africa who recently opened the important port of Dakar to the Allies, Yves Chatel, Governor of Algeria, •nd Gen. Jean Marie Bergeret, former Aviation Secretary in the Vichy French Cabinet. Tht selection of Giraud put at tha helm In French Nvth and Weit AOIc« • hero of three darln. etcapei In two war*—once from Gtrmanv In the Flnt Great War, , gain .rtrn Germany In tne present war, and finallv hli ipectacu- lar flight via mbmarine and plane from Franca to Join Lt Gen, Dwlght D. Eiienhower a few houri before the Allied landing! In North Africa Nov. 8. There was no immediate an- nouncement whether Giraud would continue in active command of thc French army, which already is an important factor in the Allied campaign in Tunis. The announcement also failed to Indicate whether active steps would be taken toward unification ot all French colonies in Africa under a single leadership during the war, but this slep is expected to be taken speedily if thc divided French factions can get together. The Fighting French under Gen. Charles de Gaulle now administer Equatorial Africa and the Chad areai adjoining Giraud's new domain as well as Syria and other scattered portions of the French Empire. DARLAN WAS SQUARE Gen. Eisenhower today expressed "delight" with the selection of Gen. Giraud. At the same time, the Allied j Commander-in-Chief, at a press con- ference said that Darlan had played square in everything he said he would do for the Allies The attitude of the Fighting French toward Gen Giraud has not | yet been clarified officially but one follower nf De Gaulle who worked In the underground movement here before the arrival nf the Alliei win: - "All factloni can and will unitt behind Giraud. He'i itrlctly a toldler tnd not Intereited In poll- tIct. Ht will uie hli poit to liber- tte Frince, not to coniolldtte him telf In power tn. we have filth In hit Integrity."

Dei- 27 K'PI - Gen I Henri Hnnnre Giraud wai named today to lu.reed Admiral Jean Dar- Van ai French High C<>mmi..inner In North Africt and it wai generally slon to the position assumed by the assassinated Darlan would tend to close the gap hitherto existing between the French African regime and the Fighting French led by Gen. Charles de Gaulle. There was no confirmation, however, that the breach had, in fact, been healed. De Gaulle had lunch todty with Prime Minister Churchill tnd they were assumed to havt dltcutted the tubject of French unity. Neither Iuued any statement but those familiar with De Gaulle'i basic policiei had predicted he would be ready to cooperate with Giraud In the event of hit telectlon at French leader In Africa. De Gaulle and the Fighting French Council met Saturday and a communique today said merely that the latest events were discussed "from the point of view of the union of the French people and thd French empire in this war." From the Fighting French atand- polnt, there was sa'd to remain the question of Giraud's relations with the aged Marshal Petain, nonrnal head of Ihe Axis-controlled Vichy administration, and the Quisling Pierre Laval. Should Giraud declare his opposition to Petain and Laval, It wai believed, the last obttacle to Fighting French collaboration with the North African regime would be removed. The full strange story of Darlan may never be told now that he has been killed. .The little Admiral himself declared there was noth'ng inconsistent with his allegiance to the Allies after his Vichy days. Those days at Vichy, he said, were valuable time-saving devices that prevented the Germans from taking over control of French Africa long ago—before the Alliei were ready. He professed he still was speaking in the name of M_r;Ji _1 Pelain when he ordered the French Fleet (0 leave Toulon and not be canturod by the Nazis who overran all of France after the Allied African stroke.

For three hours long range R.A.F. bombers circled the Japanese base at Heho IOO miles southeast of Mandalay, to rain several tons of high explosives on enemy installations. The official communique Irom allied headquarters at New Delhi said it was believed considerable damage had been done. All the raiding bombers were said to have returned safely. The German radio broadcast a message from Bangkok saying that high altitude allied planes, bombing the Japanese-held Thailand capital and nearby villages, caused "very heavy casualties but slight damage" last night. The Paris radio, failing to reconcile, its account with the German report of a hign-oltitude bombing, laid the raiders also machine gunned the streets yesterday, British and American reports had failed to mention the raid on Bangkok which probably would entail a round-trip flight of 1600 milei from India for an attacking force, The city, site of the only oil refinery in Thailand, was bombed by an American force Dec. 9. .• .... ' Dlspatchea from China today revealed that a flight of bombers manned by Americans carried out a night raid on Christmas eve against the Jap base of Tengyueh on the Burma Road cut off in Western Yunan Province.

WICKARD military purpoiei make It eiaen- tlal that our atocka be conaerved." Wlckard atld In « itatement "While our total auppllei o( canned fruits and dried fruits are the largest in history, they are among the foods most urgently needed by the fighting men of thii nation and other United Nations." It ii expected the rationing will start around Feb, 1, "On the average, 33 poundi of canned, frozen, or dried fruiti and vegetables ate expected to be available for each person ln 1943 as compared with an average of about 4a pounds a year from 1937 to 1941," aaid Wlckard. A8K8 SUPPORT "With respect to the total food situation, I would like to stress the fact, that, despite the heavy need for food on the fighting fronts, our total output is so large that more than enough foods remains to give civilians a well-balanced and healthful diet. To get this well-balanced and healthful diet to our people, our food rnuit be fairly and equitably distributed. Rationing ls a means to that end. It is a means of seeing that a small minority does not hoard or waste food at the expense of the rest of us. When that fact is realised. I know that artioning of the comparatively few foods that need to be distributed in this manner will have the wholehearted acceptance and support of the American people." Mora than 200 kinds of foods, ranging from apple tauce te loup, wlll be strictly rationed, A point system of rationing, similar to Britain's will be used by means of the new war ration book No. 2. Each Individual will have a certain number of points to spend every month. In buying a can of corn, for example, the purchaser will give the grocer a coupon carrying the "point value" fixed for corn at the : time of the purchase. The long -list of processed fruits and vegetables thus will join sugar and coffee among foodstuffs under I rationing. Meat and certain food fats products, such as butter and shortening, ire generally expected to be added to the list later. "Here," said Wlckard, "are the proipecti for lome of our foods:— "Dairy products—90 to 95 per cent ■I much per capita for our civilian population In 1943 aa wai consumed ln tha 1933-39 period. Meats-100 to 10S per cent of the 1935-1939 period. Poultry—150 to 180 per cent. Eggi—90 to 95 per cent. Potatoes— 95 to 155 per cent. Fresh cltrui fruiti—IM to 130 per cant. Fresh vegetable!—90 to 95 per cent. Cereali—Abundant auppllei, we can have all that we want to eat. "In general, then, we can be 'airly well latlsfied with the prospects for food suppliei.

This sharp air victory was fought out over the battleground of Buna, where General Douglas MacArthur's troops were said to have taken important enemy gun emplacements and driven a wedge into the enemy'i defense system. In another action, Allied airmen heavily damaged four enemy ihips off Rabaul, New Britain, the High Command announced. The communique gave thii graphic description of the extremely bitter fighting in and above the Buna sector: "The struggle to breach the enemy's last line of defense is continuing In a progression of sanguinary local actions for the reduction of the bunker-type strong points. "On the right, Important enemy gun emplacements have betn taken. "On tht left, t wedgt hat been driven Into the enemy'i deftnit ■yitem. Eait of 8anananda track we have made small but Important galni. "In previous air combat our medium bombers shot down three enemy fighters and our anti-aircraft fire shot down one." In the Northwestern sector, the communique said, "our planes strafed supplies and a road transport near Lalval on the Island of Timor". An Allied reconnaissance unit ma- chlnegunned an enemy schooner in Jacquinto Bay, New Britain. Five enemy planes ineffectively attacked the unit near St. Georges Channel. The airdrome at Cape Gloucester was bombed by an Allied heavy unit. One of the ihlpi damaged tt Rabaul was a 15,000-ton traniport.

He found a bit of quarti, but on aisaylng, the lamplea ihowed no gold. No gold, no more prospecting there. BETTER THAN GOLD "That was three years ago, but today those same quartz deposits, becauie they contain a rather high percentage of scheellte, a much- needed war metal, are far more valuable than gold. Pete remembered about that quartz thli Summer after he was discharged trom tht army because of ill health, and with his father, Antont Radich, and Louis Profili, did a bit more prdspecting, thli time for ichetlite. It now looks as though the^ htve itruck lomething good. "Tuesday, December 15, they, signed the papers, along with Holgar Beck, who also has some claims in the same locality, with Bayonne Consolidated Mines Ltd., which gives the Bayonne Company an option at $92,500 on the 12 claims involved. A substantial down payment was paid. GOOD SCHEELITE A8SAY8 "In September the trio staked their fint claim, the Lucky Three. Then in October they staked three more claims, Blue-eyei No. 1, 2 and 3. Looking for icheelite, they borrowed a fluorescent light from Harold timet and did iome prospecting. Results seemed to be pretty fair, and the first sample showed .69 per cent scheelite. They uncovered a lead 28 Inches wide, tnd sarrfplei from thtl have shown 1.5 to 3.0 per cent icheelite in the quartz and 1.15 per cent in the granite. "It happened ln October that Lloyd Smith of Penticton was In town on business for the Mayflower Mine in the South belt. Dr. Victor Dolmage was with him at the time, and Louis Profllli was talking to them about their claim. Dr. Dolmage became interested and said he'd be back again. They sent a 141 pound sample to the coast and these samples showed 4.92 per cent of scheelite. Just the day before tht first snow came down on the hills, Dr. Dolmage came back to town and the prospecting trio, with Dr. Dolmage went out with the fluorescent light Bayonne wanted an option and this week the agreement was signed. CONTRACT FOR TUNNEL "Development of -the property ll to begin at once, and Ole Osing haa been given the contract to drive a 500-foot tunnel. A crew of some eight men will start to work ln tht initial stages. The Bayonne Company will send a bulldozer to open up a road to the properties. "All three of the original group have done considerable prospecting lately. Mr. Radich was employed In the mines as motor man while the mines were operating here. He wai later transferred to Trail and aev> eral years ago retired from the com. pany. When the leases were in oper- atlon here he took his son Pete ln on a lease and they worked lt for several yeari.

Service Over Self Forbes'Theme; Rotary Present Nelsoh Rotary Club, with Its guest, District Governor Fred K, Jones of Spokane, attended the evening service at St. Paul's United Ohurch Sunday. After the service tht Club met ln'the Church Hall, and with the District Governor discussed affairs pertaining to Rotary. The music was by members of St. Paul's Choristers, who sang two anthems, and Misi Catherine Argyle, who on her violin, rendered a prelude and a solo. Noticeable among the congregation at both morning and evening lervlces were visiting Service men. Rev. H. Stewart Forbei, Pastor, spoke on the Rotary slogan, "Service Above Sett." He ipoke from the text: "He hath ihowed theo, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do Justly, and to love mercy, and io walk humbly with thy God!" RELIGION IN ACTION Mr. Forbei said that religion was not merely a matter of sentiment, but of action, and that that action must be )us(. If the social itate it ever to be set right along Christian lines, it would be through the new and larger conception of Justice toward others. The wrr w__ being waged because certain individuals and nations had lost all the Idea of Justice they ever en ertain- ed. 'ft.eir ilogan was "self above all." And the peace would be won only lf it was a Just peace, "just toward! ourselves, pur friends tho neutrals, if there are any, and toward our enemies." Love of mercy, the preacher sa d, was a quality of character, an atmosphere of the miaid, which m_de men ever ready to deliver tho:e who were overburdened and handi. capped, thoee who were living in such ctnslitions that not merely happiness, but goodness was impossible. "The Important matter howev r, ll that we walk humbly wilh our God, which means learning of God, asking God to teach us how to live, and to give us power to live aright," Mr, Forbes said. This Ihe modern man teems to find difficult. But the beginning of all true religion is in penitence. To get this we must get a right view of God. We need tht mind of Christ 'who humbled Himself, and became obedient to deith, even the death oil the Cross'," The object of all religious t?arh- ing, and the aim of all rel.g on; living was to do the will of Oud, and this could be done nnlv by rrten setting them,.Ives in true relationship with God through Jeiu. Christ, the preacher concluded. MOYIE CONCERT IS GREAT SUCCESS MOY.E, B. C.-Moyft School children's Christmas concert was a fine success. The schoolroom was crowded with children tnd adults.

Tojo Warns Japs Allied Counter-Blows Comins; "Real War Starling Now" NEW YORK, Dec. 27 (AP) - Gen. H'deki Tojo in his capacity as War Minister warned the Japanese people today that the United Nations are preparing to deliver counter-blows of "great importance", and said the ilgm art that "the real war is starting from now." The little premier's addresi, delivered before the Japanese diet and broadcast by the German and Japanese radios, appeared obviously aimed to remove any thoughts ot an early victory from the minds of thc Japanese people. To]o was followed to the Roi- trum by Naval Minister Sh-getaro Shimada who softened the Impact of the premier's words somewhat by claiming that 38 per cent of the American, British and Netherlands navies has been sunk since the war began. The ever-present threat of Russian Siberia to thc Japanese wai tacitly acknowledged by the premier in hii promise to ihe people that their forces had been strengthened on the Soviet border. Russia and Jnp.n are uneasily bound by a treaty of non-iggresslon but the Japanese are aware of the aerial proximity of their cities and industries to the big Soviet air base at Vladivostok in Siberia. In pointing out tha enormity of tha talk facing Japan In Ent Alia, Tojo estimated that tha Unit ed Natloni have about 1,000,000 troopa tnd M0 a'rplanei In India, with the numben "continually Increailng.'' In the past six months he iaid t combined American and Chinese air force of 300 plsnei had carTied out 30 attacks on Japanese hutaUa- tlom ln Chim. He estimated the Chlnfse srmy at 3.600.000 men a_id said about 250 large and small battlea had been fought between them and the Invading Japanese. United Nations air bases In the Solomon Islands, Tojo sa;d, have made "extremely difficult" the reinforcement and supplying of Japanese forces in those "unhealthy regions" He claimed-that Japan- anese reinforcements had reached Guadalcanal but did not specify the number nor the date Because of frequent attacks by American planes based on Dutch Harbor In Alaska, Tojo said, "the privation! and difficulties which Jspaneie troopi have had to endure In the Aleutian Islands ire unimaginable" The Aleutiini were mentioned, along with Burma, the Solomons and New Guinea, al probible Utes of Allied Ntiioni -counter-attacks" On the profit side of the Japanese leadger. Tojo said traniporti return- .ng from plundered countrlei in the SoiAh Pacific had brought 1.800not. tons of raw materials to Japan, or 70 per cent more than the najion'i requirements for an entire year.

SERIAL STORY ...By Marie Blizard MARK'S WIFE CHAPTER FORTY-TWO (Continued) There had been no dramatic incident to make her aware of Tom a* a man, u her hiwband. It waa nothing more than that they were two people in the same room, living und*r the aame roof and that she waa constantly aware of hia presence. The physical fact of hia presence came between her and every memory that rose. And soon other men, other women's marriages, other pursuits filed by, one by one, and diminished aa Claire Kilcran aeed the questions and found the answers that made up her final, mature values. His step or the rtairs, the echo of his voice, the lingering scent of hia tobacco, the sight of his breadth filling a dorway, reached through to something dead In her since her honeymoon days. Something that made her understand the note that crept, into Pamela's voice v/hen she mentioned Tony Bradshaw's name. the light that mad* her look as If she had a glowing candle back of her eye* when they looked at Tony. Claire's voice was maternal and rather sweet when she thought of Pam. Some day she must sp*ak with Pam aibout Tony. .It would be hard for both it them to find themselves on the unfamiliar footing of a mother and daughter relationship. Even though Pam had grown away from her this last year, she hoped it was not too lata. Peril a-ps today- She got up and went to the window, It was the hour of dusk, but there was no lingering light in the sky, It was gray and heavily overcast. It would snow before night, she thought. There had been little snow this year, unlike the last when she'd given the carnival, It was Juat a year ago this last we-ek in February. She caught her breath and it tabbed her like a dart. It was just a year ago that Tom had met the young widow. He'd come straight acroaa the room to h*r to ask her name. Claire had hardly noticed what the girl looked like at that time, but now she could remember her quite clearly. She had an attractive air of who les omen ess and eagerness. None of the marks of an adventuress, of a woman who would "go after" a man. Nor was Tom the kind of a man who would fall in love with a cheap woman. No, Tom had been ready— still young and neglected—to find a woman like Mrs. Wister. Claire could understand. She turned away from the window, reminding herself that she had come to find a box of rare laces which were to be her contribution to the Red Cross sale at the Wintridge Country Club. They ahould bring a pretty penny. Her thoughts veered to the coming sale. Lucille Hichens was determined to have the sale in the morning, but Claire Intended to be qui* aharp about having H after lunch when the women were in a more mellow mood. Lucille really should not have been mad* chair- been running ttie affaif. Quite suddenly Claire's thoughts turned in again upon herself and the change that had come over her. Could this Claire be the same woman who' less than two years ago had made a program for living out of dancing and roulette and dreasmalwrs' fittings. She saw her. self as one sees old .snapshots hastily flipped in an Impatient hand. On the moonlit terraces. On yacht decks. At the Casino-at Monte Carlo. At Slaparelli's openings. Ofl gang-planks and coming Intd the Gre du Nord. On flying fields and in crowded cocktail rooms. She looked down at herself, dressed in a slim frock of beige wool, dust-streaked now. She looked the same, but she was not. Not the Claire of other years, of the last year. The new Claire, planning menus. Making an inventory of her linen closets, Ordering curtains, and aoap, and keeping an eye on the butcher^ bill, Bedding bulbs and planning her own herbs. Talking to and listening with interest to women she used to call **hens" at the club. Serving on committees and raising money by her own efforts for charity. Listening for her man's step.

Security Not to Be Despised By BEATRICI FAIRFAX A girl who ii about to marry a Second-Lieutenant—write! me that her marriage muit not be "the boiled-dinner affairs" her mother and father have itood for the past 25 yeari. Sh^ hai known her young soldier only ten weeks. And she goes on to iay: "Not that Mother and Dad aren't devoted to each other ie their own way. Dad wai almost crazy when mother had typhoid fever Summer before last, but they've let the kind of love I want slip out of their lives entirely." It leemi her parenti have brought up three children and educated them well on a small salary. "Dad's a bookkeeper with the same firm for the last 15 years, and mother has done all the work for a family of five, including sewing and making over clothes for the girls." The daughter thinks there isn't any romance left in her parents' I lives, and she wants something entirely different when she goes up the aisle with her Second-Lieutenant. I hope this girl won't think me me to unsympathetic when I say the small salaried man, a hard-working bookkeeper, and his work-a-day wife wbo've lived together for 36 years and brought up three children creditably, have done very well for themselves indeed. Solid people of thl, type, the backbone of the country, don't rush to Reno when they find crumpled rose- leaves in the pattern of their daily lives. The reason that the majority of divorces are granted to people in their late 'teens and their early twenties is that they are always looking for the Never Never Land . . . They expect life to continue a Hollywood Rhapsody; they forget that we love people for their faults and that trials like sickness, privation and even economies for charming ends' bind people more securely. The flowery terrain very young people expect to open before them with marriage exists nowhere outside of the pages of the old-fashioned love-story. Even well-written novels today are beginning to tell the truth about married life.

It wil not until Sunday that word from Allied Headquarters Indicated the ilr wir had been resumed as i result of improvement ln the weather. Unlen this Improvement continues m long that ground conditioni ire greatly improved the Tunliian itilemate may remain unbroken for at least several days more, disrupting to that extent the Allied timetable and delaying thc promlied day when Axis Air Forces can be engaged In full-scale combat over the Mediterranean and the Allies' African positions can be prepared ** jumping-off places for an attack on Europe.

There ire so many specific obstacle! to be overcome, that surely no military leader would describe fhe new year at hand as the year of final victory. Truly enough, Germany has suffered setbacks on the Russian front and the current encircling movement by the Red Army west of Stalingrad Suggests that a Nazi defeat of vast proportions Is in the making there. Moreover, the doom of Axis forces in North Africa appears to be sealed and It Is only a question of time until it will be accomplished. Yet, from ■ military point of view at this time, the only thing which could bring in eirly end to the wir would be • complete collapse of Germin power it home ind thit would be the reiult of too miny uncertiln elementi to Justify more thin in ex- preulon of fervent hope thit •oon or liter It wlll happen. Optimism for the New Year must be tempered by some cold realities of the present, Including: 1. The determination of the present German Government to make Europe a fortress, which means, if It means anything at all, that when sufficiently hard-pressed thc Germans will conserve enough of their still mighty forces for most stubborn defence. 2. The relatively limited nature of the United Nations North aVfrica campaign as compared with the gigantic operations involved ln Invading fortified Europe. 3. The fact taht United Nations strategy calls for crushing Nazi Germany completely while the Germans certainly would hope, and very probably fight for, something Short of that, even though Hitler and his henchmen were thrown out of power. 4. The fact that the European war Is only one of two wafs we are fighting simultaneously and while Germany conceivably might collapse afler a while, Japan seems likely to fight on to the last man.

Virtually from the inception of the New Deal, the queition of silver legislation hu been before the Congress and several lawi affecting the metal have been' paised, Including the Silver Purchase Act in 1934. Since that date, the purchase of silver, of both foreign and domestic origin, have amounted to $1,454,900,- 000. Although the Treasury has not acquired any foreign-mined silver since June when $700,000 was expended for that purpose, the purchase of the domestically produced metal has continued and ln October $1,400,000 waa expended for the purchue of 2,000,000 ounces. For several montha there hai been a shortage of illver for arti and industry, and there haa been an effort by iome memberi of Congreis to get legislation pMsed to release some of the metal now held by the Treasury and on which currency hu not been issued.
