And BeaVerbrook declared that knew how close the Russians had come to beating Hitler last year. A bit more, he asserted and Germany would have been crushed. The stocky little publisher then hayed those who would oppose a second front now even after the signing of the British-Russian alliance He named specifically the Bishop of Birmingham and the Duke of Bedford The Duke, he said not only was opposed to a second front, but to front any where.

Auditor Ray Hafeli protested the

The election commission had

There is no question but that the
Allies will win; the only issue now
is when" Robert R. Nathan, chief
of the Planning Board of WPB, de-
clared last night at the Jewish Com
munity Center.
America is rolling, and even II
we do not increase production any
further we will win. But we must
realize that we now have a tough
lob ahead of U.S." the young econo-
mist said.
He emphasized the fact that we
have reached the so-called "un-
limited top" that has always in
fluenced our economic planning, and
we now must aim at "the most out
of the least" We need intensive
cultivation" he said, "since we must
win on the resources we have now"
lone important phase of the
civilian war effort will be further
restricted on consumer industry
Mr.. Nathan added. THE newspaper
industry will be one OF those af-
fected. 1t is not so much question
of materials. Rather. the size OF
the industry will have to be cut
down In order to release vital man
power for essential jobs"
In discussing the progress OF our
war production until now, Mr..
Nathan pointed out that we will
have produced as much In the six
months from June to December as
we had in the previous two years.
Mr.. Nathan spoke at meeting of
the Community Center Institute
series. Chairman for the evening
was Miss Ruth Gecenok, volunteer
worker at the center.

In return for each pair of rubbers
the child would receive a receipt,
which, with the payment Of a few
cents for overhead costs, would en-
title him to another pair.
In the past, forgotten and out

"have too frequently collected dust
In closets and attics." He SAID that
such exchanges have been started
by parents groups in Palo Alto,
