PREPARING FOR END FRONT

To get the full picture, it is nec- essary to remember that the sec ond front today is the most impor- tant move of the war. Stalin de- mands it. Roosevelt has promised it. It is the only way Hitler's ar mics can be split. In order to start a second front, it is necessary to land troops in Europe. For this modern, efficient landing, boats are essential. Furthermore, these land ing boats must carry tanks
 To prepare for a second front, a meeting was held at the White House last spring, at which the Bureau of Ships was instructed to build large number of tank land ing boats as quickly as possible
 Prior to this White House con- ference there had been consider able rivalry between the Bureau of Ships and Higgins. as to which had built the best tank landing boat. The Bureau had designed it's tank lighter, and drowned upon that designed by the braggadocio Andy Higgins
 However, as early as August 4 1941, one year ago, the commander of the Atlantic Fleet had reported: ::
 The importance of the following advantages Of Higgins type tank lighters over the Bureau type CBu- reau of Ships is so great that it is recommended that no further contracts be awarded for addition al tank lighters of the Bureau type. :"

effort in prosecuting our part of the world conflict will be exagger- ated and fifth column agents will have reason to rejoice. The seers warn that it will be wise to draw a parallel to incidents preceding the fall of France.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR While the United Nations meet the Axis powers on more than a score of fronts, there will be long per iods of suspense regarding results of various clashes in the air and on land and sea. There are DOT tents that prepare us for reverses but from the end of this month much that is encouraging is indi- cated. An interpreter of the cycle theory which has gained much at- tention finds significance in the twelve period principle Looking forward to 1949, eighty-four years after the Civil War, he asks whe- ther there will be another civil strife in this country
 Persons whose .birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good prospects. There is much promise for men and women in uniform.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have strong characters supporting varied talents. They will be popular, especially with their relatives.
