Vice President Henry A. Wallace said last night in an address to the high Chilean officials following a day in which he received one of the most striking receptions ever accorded a vislthV foreign official here. V. WaUace made this assertion in replying to a toast by President Juan Antonio Rios in which the president assured him of the Chilean people's "most loyal affection and most cordial sympathy for the immense sacrifices which your people has taken upon itself, and which the Chilean people wish to share." The vice president said that one of the objects of the tour of Latin-American countries in which he is now engaged was to try to find the common basis of welfare and progress to which he referred.

He added that "tomorrow's peace must be based on the four freedoms proclaimed by President Roosevelt." The banquet for Wallace followed a huge demonstration in Santiago's national stadium during which more than 100.000 Chilean men, women and children jammed every inch of space to hear the vice president declare his belief that the dream of brotherhood among nations is about to come true in the Americas. Ferndale Is First City To Get War Bond Award FERNDALE (JP) With martial music, parades and justifiable pride this Detroit suburb celebrated "Patriotism day" yesterday and became the first city in the nation to receive a minuteman bulls-eye flag for war bond purchases. Main street traffic was detoured for two hours aspractically the entire town turned out to hear Gov. Harry F. Kelly speak praise and see Mayor Carl Forsythe receive the flag from Frank N.

Isbey, chairman of the Michigan war bond committee. The award marked Ferndale as the first city having 100 percent of its factories and business institutions employing 25 or more persons subscribing to bond purchases through payroll deductions. Showing that Ferndale was contributing more than money, the Veterans of Foreign Wars unveiled an obelisk bearing the names of Ferndale men and women serving in the nation's armed services. SEES COTTON SHORTAGE DALLAS, Tex. (JP) Dismaying shortages of cotton and sugar were forecast by Rep.

Fred Crawford (R, Mich.) in a week-end interview with the Dallas News. Here to speak at the all-southwest meeting of stock- raisers, the Saginaw congressman criticized the national administration "for failure to appreciate the full value of cotton, which is proving the most useful crop on eartl; He said there would be the grcatfrj cotton shortage in history in six to 12 months despite official claims of a surplus. i-i 4 lHDri.d bf; -Slictd ham, ben in er bontltss; IM-Bontltss ham, whola er half; bontlass picnic or shoulder; Q-Wholo or half ham, bent in: ham butt or shank; -Picnic or shoulder, bono in; tonguat; Q-Bouillon cubas, all meat extracts and concentrates; Q-Spareribs; Pigs feet, bone in GAINESVILLE, Ga. VP) Fifty million pounds of broiler chickens may not be enough to fill the meat rationing cavity in the middle of America's dining room table, but it wiU help. Three counties in the hills of north central Georgia are prepared to produce that total of drum sticks, second joints and what-goes-with-them before the end of 1943 an increase of something like 20,000,000 pounds over last year's output.

On the basis of two-and-one-half pounds per chicken, the imposing poundage settles down to about broilers that will come from the brooder houses of hundreds of farmers in the south's most concentrated broiler section. Authority for the estimate is J. D. Jewell, Gainesville businessman, who now has about 300,000 broilers under contract in brooder houses of this area and whose modern, mechanized plant is killing and packing from 20,000 to 30,000 pounds of chickens each day. Agricultural experts in this Hall-Cherokee-Forsyth county area of Georgia hail broiler propagation as the salvation of hundreds of farmers here where cotton and poor soli conditions have pauperized many.

These same experts point out, however, that "growing out" of chickens for the broiler market is an exacting task, calling for such careful supervision that in most cases farmers actually sleep with the chickens in the brooder houses during the first few days of growing. Chicks are delivered to growers at the age of one day and must be taught to eat and drink. They must be guarded against colds and other ailments and doctored when prevention fails. They must be stuffed with "vitamized" food for the entire 10 weeks of the growing out period. LOCAL MAN IS CALLED TO AIR CORPS SERVICE Donald Bennett.

REPORT SHOWS 22 SHIPS ALREADY LOST IN MONTH (By the Associated Press) Loss of five cargo ships, announced last week as sunk by Axis submarines in the western Atlantic, raised to 639 the Associated Press tabulation of the officially announced toll of Allied and neutral merchant vessels in those waters since Pearl Harbor.

Officials In charge of Calhoun county's successful Red Cross War Fund campaign said that a final accounting of the drive's gifts is scheduled for Tuesday. Some Industrial gifts have yet to be reported.

Contributions made through Saturday total $84,640.54, nearly $10,000 more than the $75,000 Quota for the county. Not all nearby campaigns have been as successful as the local one. Jackson county's drive for $60,000 by this morning had collected $48, 073. Detroit's campaign is $277,768 short of Its $3,000,000 goal and the Chicago area's giant drive for $8 750.000 has collected approximately $3,000,000. The Grand Rapids-Kent county drive for $261,000 is oversubscribed by approximately eight percent.

Eaton county has raised $13,927. well above its $12,500 goal, and Branch county has contributed more than $15,000, a figure far above Its quota of $9,850. 17 Grass Fires Keep Firemen on the Run Seventeen grass fires, two of which Ignited buildings and caused some property loss, kept firemen in the Battle Creek area busy Sunday. It was the largest number of grass fires reported here within a single day in several years. Fire Chief John Doster and his Battle Creek township volunteers extinguished 11 grass fires yesterday and Battle Creek firemen were called to six, most of them In rural areas adjacent to the city.

A garage at the home of H. B. Cosgrove. Emmett township, was set afire by burning grass Sunday noon. The fire caused $15 damages before firemen put it out by using one booster line.

Minor damage was also done a one-story residence on East avenue north when it was set afire by burning grass at 2:30 p. m. Firemen did not obtain the owner's name. Fire officials said today that the absence of any noticeable precipitation during the last 10 days has left field grass exceptionally dry. They said grass fires can become a real hazard to property and warned against setting such fires.

Local firemen responded to two ether alarms yesterday, one at the home of Harry Ellis, 8 South Barney at 5:04 p. the other at the Andy Hughes home, route one, Pennfield township, at 11:05 a. m. Sparks from a chimney caused $15 fire damage to the Ellis roof while another roof blaze, also set by sparks, did nominal damage at the Hughes home. Occupants put out the Hughes' fire before arrival of firemen.

SPEEDING CHARGE ALTERED Dr. David Frank, director of the general disease clinic at the city hall, pleaded guilty to a speeding charge In Justice Will A.

TKANM "High Sierra" 2:25. 6:40. 8:55 Taken Over by Nazis LONDON UP) The diplomatic correspondent of Reynolds news asserted flatly today that Germany had "taken over" the Italian navy following conferences in Rome between Admiral Karl Doenltz, supreme commander of the German navy, and Admiral Arture Riccardi, commander of the Italian fleet.

Doenltz, the correspondent declared, has been placed in command of the two navies. While authoritative British sources said they had no confirmation of this report, observers saw some significance in an announcement by DNB, official German news agency. that the two admirals had "reached complete agreement on the role of the Axis navies for the coming months." Such a statement, it was felt In some quarters, might well be camouflage to hide a German assumption of command. If the Germans have taken over Premier Mussolini's fleet as reported, it is believed here they would probably let the Italians continue to man the ships but would place high German naval officers in the Italian admiralty to tell them what to do. The Reynolds news correspondent declared that Doenitz, in his conferences with Riccardi, had "insisted that the duce's fleet must be used partly as an anti-invasion force and partly as a striking weapon." Easter Rabbit's Finery To Be Absent This Year WASHINGTON UP) The Easter rabbit at least the chocolate one is going to spend the April 25 holiday in a foxhole and the War Production Board warns that much traditional Easter trim will be missing this year.

There will be no chocolate eggs or bunnies, a dearth of Easter baskets, mighty few of those sugar eggs with windows in them and a shortage of Easter lilies. But the board said that regular candies could be sold in Easter baskets and that none of the textile orders limited output of plush rabbits or downy chicks. CLOCKS ARE ADVANCED IN CONQUERED EUROPE (By the Associated Press) Germany and territory she dominates went on summer time this morning, advancing clocks an hour to make the time difference seven hours ahead of Central war time. As Italy made the change, clocks In Vatican city also were advanced. Meanwhile, "down under" in Australia where summer is past, clocks were set back to normal time.

This means that such cities as Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane are 15 hours ahead of Central war time; Adelaide is 14'i hours ahead; and Perth is 13 hours ahead. EATS ON 67 CENTS DAILY LOUISVILLE, Ky. To rebut contentions of "insufficient food" in these parts George W. Crenshaw, Kentucky state OPA ration officer, lived for four days on 67 cents a day and declared he "felt much better than ever before."

LaGUARDIA PLAYS COY NEW YORK (U.R) Mayor F.

H. LaGuardia played coy today on the question of whether he is going Into the army, although in well-informed quarters his commissioning as a brigadier general was considered imminent. The mayor, who is reported slated for an administrative post In North Africa, or possibly, Italy, wnen that country is invaded, alluded to his prospective army career only by hints in his weekly radio broadcast yesterday and in a subsequent curbside interview. STASSEN SEES WORLD ROLE DUBUQUE, la. (U.R) Gov.

(By the Associated Presa) The Berlin radio today broadcast a claim that a Nazi auxiliary cruiser traveled undisturbed several thousand miles through the Pacific and laid mines before the harbor of Auckland, New Zealand. The story, attributed to a war correspondent, Wilhelm Wirtz. in a broadcast recorded by the Associated Press, said the vessel entered Australian territorial waters unnoticed by defending planes or surface craft and carried out her mission in the peaceful waters of the Haurakl gulf. LONDON P) The Moscow radio, as recorded here by the Soviet monitor had broadcast a Tass dispatch saying Heinrich Himmler, head of the German police, had ordered a state of siege inside Germany and directed to military courts many cases formerly referred to the people's court. AU street traffic after 11 p.

m. was reported prohibited. The Berlin radio announced March 18 that an 11 p. m. curfew had been imposed on restaurants and public houses in Germany.

STOCKHOLM (U.R) The sudden deaths of two German diplomats tended today to substantiate repeated reports circulating here of an impending shakeup in the Nazi foreign ministry, possibly involving the ouster of Foreign Minister Joachim Von Ribbentrop. Reports have become more persistent lately that Ribbentrop had lost the favor of Adolf Hitler and was either on the way out or would be "kicked upstairs- to a new, but insignificant position.

ARMY AIR FORCE HIGH COMMAND STREAMLINED WASHINGTON (VP) Streamlined to expedite action, the high command of the army air forces had undergone a major reorganization.

The new program, intended to eliminate red tape, cuts the number of headquarters offices from 25 to 13 and reduces major divisions of the air staff from 19 to 6. The realignment thus will leave headquarters free to determine over-all policy by relieving it of details of executive orders; create a more cohesive organization: delegate greater responsibility to field commanders and reduce personnel of headquarters staffs in Washington. Named as chief of air staff under Gen. Henry H. Arnold, air forces commander, is Ma j.

-Gen. George E. Stratemeyer, who will have three deputies and six assistant chiefs of staff. INTANGIBLE TAX RETURN DEADLINE IS MARCH 31 Between 10,000 and 15.000 Michigan citizens have but 48 hours in which to file intangible tax returns with the state department of reve nue or they will face a 25 percent penalty assessment after the March 31 deadline. Louis M.

Nims, revenue director, announced today that some 30,000 returns have already reached his office. More than 10' mail sacks of returns were delivered to the department of revenue this morning. Nims estimated that from 40,000 to 50,000 forms will be filed by the end of the month. Intangible taxes last year netted the state $3,448,000. The tax Is levied on bonds, stocks, mortgages, and other interest-producing investments not of a tangible nature, Nims explained.

Nims asserted that the state anticipates 1943 revenues from intangible taxes to compare favor ably with 1942 collections since war conditions will have but little ef fect on the tax sources. WPB PROMISES CANNERS PLENTY OF JAR COVERS The War Production Board today promised American housewives that there will be plenty of Jar covers for home canning and that the new wartime types will fit almost any type of canning jar.

OIL HEATER EXPLODES No one was injured and only minor property damage was caused by the explosion of a defective oil heater in the home of Guyle Crosley, 40 North Thirtieth street, about 9:30 a. m. Sunday.

The Battle Creek township fire truck was summoned but no fire resulted from the explosion. Sunday's Enquirer and News presented the above simplification of meat rationing on page 9 with the suggestion that you cut it out and paste It In your ration book. It was a good idea, but It couldn't be done without at the same time cutting up an official table of point values lor processed foods which appeared on page 10 (the back of page 9). This back-to-back arrangements of charts was something which the newspaper failed to anticipate. Space does not permit reproducing both of the charts, but the above republication of the smaller one will help those who saved the whole page as the Enquirer and News hopes most readers did.

Moslem premier of Bengal, submitted his resignation today to Gov. Sir John Arthur Herbert, who announced its acceptance. The resignation was taken by observers to indicate the growing power of Mohammed All Jinnah, president of the All-India Moslem League.

Fazlul Huq's popularity has waned steadily and he was regarded by the Moslems In Bengal as lukewarm toward Jinnah and under the influence of the Hindus. Jinnah's political program does not countenance compromise with the Hindus. He demands the participation of India into separate, autonomous Moslem and Hindu states.

The publisher, in return, has deposited in Berne the first quarter of a large payment in return for the memoirs, the column said. We know the Battle Creek schools face grave financial problems. There's a growing deficit. Teachers are underpaid and seriously disturbed about the future of their Jobs here in Battle Creek. THE WHOLE SITUATION HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY AGGRAVATED BY FAILURE OF CITY GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOL GOVERNMENT TO COOPERATE TO THE FULLEST POSSIBLE EXTENT.

Bill Wood believes that the No. I Job of the new Mayor of Battle Creek is to correct the situation so far as the city government's side of the picture is concerned. Bill Wood doesn't regard the schools and the city government as two enemy camps. He knows that they are vital partners in the life of the community. Bill Wood knows that the taxpayers who support the schools are the same taxpayers who support the city government.

Bill Wood is bitterly opposed to making the taxpayer pay for the luxury of any official's personal animosities. Bill Wood will see that city funds which are available for a short-term emergency loan to the board of education are so loaned instead of the city government forcirmr the board of education borrow at the banks and spend taxpayers' monry on interest charges. Bill Wood will see that the city government and the board of education present a UNITED FRONT when the needs of the city and the schools are laid before the county allocation board. Bill Wood happens to be a garage man. When a customer brings his car in with plugged up gas line, Bill Wood doesn't try to sell him on a general "over-haul" Job.

He does the thins; that needs doing. He cleans out the Right now there is a serious "plug-up" in the affairs our schools. It's Interesting campaign "ballyhoo" talk about the city having "a definite plan for the future." But Bill Wood believe la doing FIRST THINGS FIRST. And our Immediate Job is to elean-smt the "plug-up" In ear school situation. Our Boys Are Fighting for the Right To Vote! To Talk! To Worship!
