Nuisance Value Only

The weight of bombs these planes could carry would be insignificant. There is grave doubt that the ob. jectiYe could be attained. Exper- fence in this war has shown that sprinkling of light bombs is inefz fectual in destroying civilian nor ale. Indeed, it has had the effect of unifying the populace and actu- ally increasing the war effort.
 As for the second objective. the two bombing techniques proved most successful are: (1 Pulyeriz- ing a whole city, as Rostock5 C21 Destruction of specific and VitallY important factories. as the diesel engine plant at Ausburg, Both re quire action by the biggest bombers. in force.
 It's roughly 4.0OO miles from Naryik, Norway, to Seattle air line (closer than from Tokyol From Brest to Boston is around 3.150 miles. Bergen-Detroit is about 3,700 miles. These distances to the north Pacific, northeast coast and mid lands industrial centers are within the total range of four-mOtOred bOmbers. Conceiyably, the planes could fly to the target areas. but they couldn't get back.
 Expense Is An Item
 Every plane starting the mission would be written off as total loss, and bombers like that hit tha till for S25O,0OO copy. All night trained bomber crews likewise would be lost
 In addition. plane losses increase with distance flown. The British lost seven of 12 planes on the Aua- burg raid Every mile increases the chance of detection, making certain reception committed will be a. loft.
 It boils down to this: Any effee- tive bombing of U. S. targets. enough to cause serious dislocation in given industrial area, would require vast expenditure of scarce, skilled personnel and the most expensive aircraft. Anything less would be ineffective.
 Men and equipment are always considered expendibIe material in war There's always the possibility that a desperate Hitler would be willing to pay the cost in a last ditch gamble on slowing up U. s. production. Proof that such a pos sibility is present is the concentra- tion of anti-aircraft and inter ceptor units around key industrial areas. You can be sure the Army wouldn't assign equipment which is needed elsewhere to guard an area where no possibility of attack ex- isted.

ton cheaper coffee, tea, oranges
and milk.
The new assault on the cost
of living, to be effected by re-
ducing duties or taxes or by out
right subsidies, was announced
last night by Finance Minister
j. L. Ilsley. who estimated that
the cost to the treasury might
run up to SAC, 00o, 900 a year.
Coffee is to be reduced four
cents a pound, tea 10 cents a
pound and milk two cents a
quart from current retail prices.
Orange prices are to be put
back to about thu levels Of
September and October, 19E.
No official figures were given
but in September, 1941, oranges
were bring sold for rs to 35
CO hts a dozen.
In addition, the finance min
lister said, the government was
instructing the wartime prices
and trade board t. examine
measures for reducing the profit
margins of some retail dealers
in beef ito REASONABLE limits for
the benefit of tie consumer.
The coffee and tea reductions
are to be accomplished by gov
eminent subsidy or sale to the
trade by the prices. stability
corporation at reduced prices.
Cheaper oranges will be pro-
vided by elimination of duties
and taxes.
A subsidy will be paid on
fluid milk, which the finance
minister said would be design
ed to obtain the general objec-
tive of a two cents per quart
reduction in the price of milk
to the consumer"
"The consumer will benefit to
the full amount of such sub
sides and remission of taxes"
Isley said. "The producer and
dealer will not be affected"
He said the governments
plan, full details of which are
to be announced by the wartime
prices and trade board, was de-
signed to offset increases in the
cost of living experienced in
spite of ceiling control and
would be aimed at bringing the
cost of living lat least part of
the way back to t, level of the
basic period (Sept. Is to Oct. II i,
l941.)"
Ilsley recalled that just IL
months ago the bold and broad
policy" of complete price, wage
and salary ceilingc went into eff
feet.
1.-THE government reaffirms its
policy" he said, mot as a fixed
defense against initiation, but
as developing attack on it, US
ing such methods as are suita-
bic to the conditions faced"
He reported that the official
cost of living index in Canada
moved up by 81 per cent in the
13 months ended Nov. /, as
against 20 per cent during the
comparable period in World War
I and eight per cent in the Unit
ed States for the IL months end
ed Oct. /.

Curb Output
Of Ice Cream
for = Months

WASHINGTON, Dec. A(R
The war production board to-
day curtailed the commercial
manufacture of ice cream, froz-
en- custard, milk sherbet and
other frozen desserts of ice
cream mix during December and
January to conserve butterfat
for butter.
But government officials were
quick to point out that it was
not planned to ban ice cream
manufacture, though some new
and fruity flavors might replace
old standbys.
During December and Janu-
airy, commercial manufacture of
ice cream and other frozen des-
serts is limited to so per cent of
October output. WPB pointed
out, however, that the actual re-
duction would be about only 20
per cent, since the manufacture
of ice cream in December and
January is below that in Octo-
Der.
The order provides that for
mulas used by manufacturers
during October must not be
changed. WPB said this meant
that the quality of all brands
must be preserved at present
levels, although flavors and col
oring may be changed.

to me as we sat at the edge of
a foxhole 800 yards from a Jap

ROSS, a hell of a good Ma

After accomplishing its mis-

heavy, ambushed machinegun
fire.
Three men refused to leave
the wounded" Capt. Leblanc
continued. "They were Private
Barney K. Ross of Chicago, M.
L. Guarnett from some Arkan-

a New Jersey boy.
These three stood guard over
the wounded all night .
Ross was in one foxhole with
three wounded men, minister
ing their needs as much as pos
sible and keeping up rifle and
tommygun fire between times.
Shortly after midnight, two
infantrymen armed with anoth-
er tommygun and a Garand rifle
with plenty of ammunition tum-
bled into Ross foxhole. 1t was
cramped with three men and
three wounded, so Ross took
charge, doing all the firing dur

"As the infantrymen loaded
and reloaded the tommyguns
and the Garand, Ross kept his
