Plattsmouth, Nebr.. who has been
sent to Berne, Switzerland, to be
third secretary to the American
Legation, will be glad to know
that he has cabled his wife that
he has reached Berne safely.
John Bouchal of Wilbur, Nebr.,
who has been teaching school at
Prague, Bohemia, is in Washing
ton offering his services to Uncle
Same for the duration. Mr. Bou*
chal is a retired employee of the
State Department. When Germ
any declared war on the United
Statess he was interned in a
camp in Bavaria. He remained
there for five months and was
then allowed to go to Prague,
where his wife was living with
her mother. They came with
other American internees on the
Swedish ship Drottningholm.
Mrs. Bouchal’s mother is taking
care of the Bouchal’s household
goods and other possessions. The
Nebraskans were allowed only
four suitcases and a small trunk
on the homeward voyage. Bou
chal tells Nebraskans in Wash
ington not to worry about sur
plus corn and wheat. He says
there will be great demands for
all our food surpluses.
Erdman Muller of Norfolk,
Nebr., arrived in Washington
from Texas to take up his duties

Army Medical Center.
Americans returning from Bo
hemia says the “protectorate
government” allows farmers to
keep all over sixty eggs that each
hens lays per year. But, they say,
the government does not furnish
the chicken feed, although it con
trols the entire supply.
Midwest congressmen received
so many letters in criticism of
the proposed nation-wide ration
ing of gasolirie that they held a
a meeting in the House Office
Building. A committee was se
lected to see the Presisdent about
it. Both senators and representa
tives are protesting the possible
general rationing of gasoline in
the midwest. However, it is the
Executive and not the Legisla
tive branch of government that
promulgates rationing programs.
If and when a general gasoline
rationing program does come, it
will not be due to gasoline short
age. It will be to conserve rubber.

The allied success at Cologne
and Midway must be repeated
in other theories of the war be
fore our enemies are defeated, in
the opinion of Americans return
ing from the Far East and Eur
ope. It means more men in the
army; more bombers and fighting
planes, and more sacrifices at
home. People coming home from
Europe say the war may last an
other two years. They are sure of
victory and indicate that people
in the occupied countries are
waiting for allied victory. They
say that the entry of the United
States into the war was a severe
bl*w to morale in Germany.
No more commissions for mem
bers of Congress. The Secretary
of War has told leaders that he
does not favor members going
I into the service at this time be
cause they are in position to per
form functions vital to the Na
tional war effort that at this time
i exceed in importance their active
participation in the purely mili
tary phase of the war. Several
1 members of the House have their
applications for active service
pending in the War Department.
Some members wno have already
! seen service are returning to their
duties in the House.
The synthetic rubber situation
has been still further confused
by five separate committee re
! ports. More investigations are in

j rubber. Notwithstanding all of
I the discussion on rubber, copper
and steel for grain alcohol plants

Dried or powder eggs, pow
dered milk and other concen
trated foods are demanded by
our allies. Eggs in the shell and
liquid milk require too muoh
space on ships. The result will be
more plants in the midwest
where eggs are dried and milk is
evaporated or powdered.

proposal through fear that it
would drive down the price of

Gerhart Schulte was born at
St. Bernard, Nebr., in 1890. He
has been trying to get a copy of
his birth certificate. His brother,
William Schulte, also bom at St.
Bernard, has asked the Third
District Office to help. Vital sta
tistics were not officially record
ed in Nebraska until 1905. A
search of the St. Bernard church
record is now being made. Ger

Hammond, Indiana.
The latest word about Ameri
can diplomats in Japan and
China is that they will leave soon
on a Japanese ship for some port
in Africa. The Japanesse diplo
mats are living in style at White
Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
In a few weeks they will be put
on board a Swedish ship for the
South African port and exchang
ed for the Americans. The reason
they can’t cross the Pacific is that
there is no neutral port in the
Pacific except Chile, and we don’t
want Japanese ships entering any
Chile port.
The best reports on surplus
wheat is that we may have 1,
250,000,000 bushels of it when the
new crop comes in. A lot of it,
along with corn, will be used for

In 1938 a man named McDan
iels, representative of the Ameri
can rope industry, suggested that
we ship large reserves of Manila
fiber to the United States from
the Philippines. In 1935 Ameri
cans visiting the Islands found
that most of the abaca or Manila
fiber was grown in Davoa prov
ince. They also found that Jap
anese had married Filipino wom
en belonging to the families that
owned most of the abaca lands
in Davoa. A navy needs Manila
rope. Now the shortage of Manila
fiber is as serious as is the short
age of natural rubber. Japan con
trols Manila fibre resources. We
have to turn to substitutes. We

There will also be 800 small speed
boats which by experience have
been found effective against subs
marines. Nearly a billion dollars
will be expended upon new sub
marines. Recently, Congress pass
ed another bill for 2,700 million
for naval auxiliary craft, so that
new appropriations to become
available will total 11 billions.
Merchant Marine appropriations
are over two billions of dollars,
and now two new merchant ves

answer to the menace of sub
marines on our eastern coast.
