January Strikes Cost 10 Million In Man Hours
Washington. (UP) - Strikes cost the nation around 10,000,000 man-days of work in January, the largest such loss on record, according to government estimates today.
The loss of work reflected the impact of the steel, General Motors, electrical and other strikes.
it dimmed an otherwise generally right economic picture. A Unitedress survey showed a gain in employment and unemployment (dissearning strikers). The increase inith was due to the expanding size the labor force as more service- men sought civilian jobs.
The industrial production index in January was off five points as strikes in the steel and auto industry spread shutdowns in other lines. The retail price index made a fractional gain. The farm price index took a small seasonal setback after several months of upturn.
The weekly average wage in the latest month for which figures were available was off slightly but average hours of work likewise showed decline.
Treasury spending continued to fall lower. Receipts almost equalled those of the previous month, and exceeded those of January last year. The deficit was lower.
'Hitler Lost Hope,' Eva Braun Wrote
Frankfurt (UP)—Eva Braun wrote to her sister last April 23—more than a week before the fall of Berlin—that Adolf Hitler had lost all hope, it was revealed today.
U. S. Occupation headquarters released Miss Braun's letter of that date in which she said:
Each day and each hour may be our last. The Fuehrer himself has lost all hope for a desirable conclusion. But everyone here, including me, will continue to hope as long as life is in us. It goes without saying, however, that we will not let ourselves be captured alive."
About a week after the letter was written, Miss Braun and Hitler were married, killing themselves a few hours later, as the Russians were completing the conquest of Berlin, according to the best available information.
Soviet Publication Attacks Politicians

Jayhawkers Will Go To National Cage Meets-If Invited
Kansas has no reason to fear Oklahoma A. & M. and could measure up to the Aggies in every way at this time, Dr. F. C. Allen said today.
"We are definitely receptive to the idea of attending either the N.C.A.A. tournament or the Madison Square Garden invitational meet," Allen added, "But now, all our thoughts are directed on Oklahoma. We'll think about the tournaments when we come to them."
Allen has not yet been approached by National Invitation officials and does not know whether Kansas would receive an invitation to the tourney in Madison Square Garden.
If Kansas does not receive the N.C.A.A. bid and receives an invitation to New York, Allen is willing to shoot for the big city cage show if the team wants to.
News from New York indicated that the Oklahoma Aggies, 1945 N.C. A.A. champions, would represent the fifth district in the Westerns March 22 and 23, and that Kansas might be invited to the National Invitational.
However, no action will be taken until after the season is over. The Jayhawkers cap their season tomorrow night at Norman. The Aggies end their regular schedule March 13 against Oklahoma.
The Kansas quintet met a 46-28 defeat at the hands of the Aggies in the semi-finals of the All-College tournament at Oklahoma City during the Christmas holidays.
