ing raids made by intrepid fly
erS overseas, a scientific publ
cation has figured out that the
home front could be instrument
tai in hundreds of additional
raids on Europe by the simple
expedient of installing storm
windows in residential buildings.
Enough fuel oil - 528, 75O,871
gallonS-to make sufficient high
octane gas for 100 raids on Ber-
lin by 1000 Flying Fortresses,
could be saved by residents of
the 31-fuel rationed states by
this one conservation measure,
according to an estimate of
Scientific American magazine
on the basis of a survey.
The survey, based on appli-
cation of a formula worked out
by R. K. Thurman, chief of FILA
mechanical engineering division,
further brought out that storm
windows would save 34,342,420
tons of coal. This amount would
make 81 ,645 tons of pig iron for
use in munitions or ships. Total
savings in fuel, the report sta
ted would reach 1926, 587, 704.
WHITE COLLAR COAL SHOV-
ELERS-The time is not too far
distant when the coal beavers
may become skilled white collar
workers. According to the Eitel-
Met ullough company of San
Bruno, California, this will come
about when radio frequency
heating comes generally into
service.
Radio frequency heating is
quite different from convention
al methods in that it develops
heat within the material itself
rather than having it applied
from a separate source. Some OF
the many advantages are Cd
heat car be localized and con-
trolled; (2) heat is rapidly gen.
Grated and can be instantly
suspended to prevent damage
from overheating.
(The control of heat through
this methOd is accomplished ny
the turn of a few knobs and
dials.) Therefore the men who
stoke the furnaces Of factories
and office buildings may some
day need training in mathe'
mates and physics rather than

nancy, Alias Mesmerism and
Hypnotism, Denounced" is the
subject of the Lesson-Sermon
which will be read in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, November, ID, 1943.
The Golden Text is: BE mer-
ciful unto me, o God: for man
would swallow me up; he fight
ing daily oppresseth me.
Among the citations which
comprise the Lesson-Sermon is
the following from the Bible:
What time I am afraid, I will
trust in thee" psalms $751;, 81.
He that dWelleth in the secret
place of the most High shall alb
ide under the shadow of the Al

He is nv refuge and my fort
ress: my God; in him will I
trust. Surely he shall deliver
thee from the snare of the foW-
Ter, and from the noisome pest
Hence. He shall cover thee with
his feathers. and under his
wings shalt thou trust: his truth
shall be thy shield and buckler.'
Psalms 91:1-4).
The Lesson-Sermon also in
cludes the following passages
from the Christian Science text
book, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy: angels are Gods
representatives. These upward
soaring beings never lead to-
wards self. sin, or materiality

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Al
giers, Dec. 30 tRl American
troops fought through the streets
of the demolished village of San
Vittore today, blasting out path
to the strategic city of Casino
ON the main inland highway to
Rome, while victorious Canadian
forces pressed on beyond Ortona
on the Adriatic coast to within
nine miles of Pescara.
(The German news agency DNB
in a broadcast recorded by the
Associated Press said that the Al
lies had made leap frog land
ing on the italian west coast be-
hind the German lines near the
mouth of the Carigliano river.
The broacast said the action was
localized before the Allies could
reach the Appain Way, the coast
al road to Romeo
San Vittore, on the southern base
of Mt. Sammucro six miles from
Casino, was reduced to rubble
by a terrific American artillery
bombardment yesterday before
1t. Gen Mark W. Clark's' infantry
left its foxholes and charged into
the village. An American patrol
previously had penetrated into its
streets, only to be diven out by
fiercely resisting Nazis.
A dispatch from Don Whitehead,
Associated Press correspondent at
the front. said that the Germans
had made the center of San Wit
tore fortretss-as they have
every Italian village through
which they retreated-and that
it was necessary to destroy every
building before getting at them
with guns and bayonets.
The Nazis also are strongly en-
trenched in caves and dugouts on
slopes north of San Vittore, as
well as on a ridge east Of the
town, and it is slow, costly
process to dig them out. This is
believed to be the enemy's last
powerful outpost before Casino,

IS AT NEW HIGH

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-R-
By midnight Friday, the Federal
government will have spent more
money in the 1865 days of 1943 than
it did in all of the first $50 years
of this nations existence.
The 1913 total of approximately
$88, 900, 900, 900 embraces war costs
of over $S2, 1000, O0O,000 - Or rough
ly $241 10000 every "a hours

From the establishment of the
Treasury in 1889 through June 80
1926 (there are no good figures or
the comparatively tiny costs Of
1776-1789). aggregate government
al expenditures amounted to $87,
300, 900, 900. Up to last Dec. 81 they
totaled $247, 200, 900, 900 or less
than three times the amount spent

the government paid out $18,500,

sion headquarters of Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower were being made
ready tonight for his early arrival
and fateful conferences of the high
command were expected to begin
within a short time.
AS the New Year approached
there was no thought of holiday
at the invasion headquarters, set
up months ago with a huge staff,
and it became apparent that 1914
would be scarcely begun before
General like" has his command
complete and the intense planning
of the forthcoming action started.
The one big gap in the invasion
command not yet filled is the field
commander Of the American ar
mics, the counterpart of Gen. Sir
Bernard L. Montgomery, who al.
ready has been named to lead the
British ground forces.
This selection is expected to be
announced shortly and speculation
in London was that the choice is
between 1t. Gen. Mark W. Clark, al
present commander of the Fifth
Army in Italy, and 1t. Gen. Omar
N. Bradleye, commander of the
second army corps, with Clark
considered the more likely.
Eisenhower arrival soon prob
ably will be the signal for the re-
turn here of his deputy, Air Chief
Marshal Sir Arthur Tedder, and
Gen. Montgomery, both of whom
have been his associates in the
Mediterranean campaign.
The naval communicating chief,
Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay, and
the air commander-in-chief, Air
Chief Marshal Trafford L. Leigh
Mallory already are il Britain.
1t was considered probable that
the American and British military
leaders might be joined in some
of their conferences by Russian
representatives.

INFLUENZA PLAYS
HAVOC IN COUNTY

It is believed that there are
upwards of eight to ten thousand
cases of mild influenza in the
city at the present time, and that
the peak of the epidemic will be
realized late this week.
The estimate is based upon =
statement by officials of the New
Hanover County Medical Society
that local doctors are treating ap-
proximately 300 new cases per
Gay.
More than double that number
of new patients are believed to
be treating themselves, or are
pressing neighbors and relatives
into nursing service. The disease
has been raging for about ten
days.
The sickness ranges from acute
colds to pneumonia, although the
violent cases of flu and pneumonia
are said to be few.
The principal advice Of physi.
cians-all of whom are over.
worked-is that patients should 60
to bed at the first signs Of diff
Guilty. Going to bed will help pre-.
vent pneumonia attack.
The officials revealed that it Is
well-nigh impossible to secure
nurses. They warned, however,
that in extreme cases-or when
the patient is in doubt about the
seriousness Of his condition, doc
tors should be called. (Four or
five doctors are also said to be
suffering from the disease.)
Neighbors and relatives are do
ing an excellent job in helping
with treatment, 1t was pointed
out.
Scarcely an office in town has
been untouched by the disease,
and numbers Of concerns have
been hampered in their business
because Of the loss Of personnel
on account Of the sickness.
Hundreds are staying on the
job, their efficiency reduced by
head and throat colds.
It is likely that Wilmington has
been no more affected by, the flu
virus than other cities and COM

STRIKE ORDERS
ONLY POSTPONED

WASHINGTON, Lee. oU.- VII -
The War Department said tonight
it wanted to return the railroads
to private management but could
not because at least two railroad
unions, raher than cancelling the
strike orders, had merely postpon-
ed them for the period of gov
eminent control.
A Department statement said the
unions are the brotherhood of To-
connective firemen and enginemen,
headed by David B. Robertson, and
the order of railway conductors,
headed by H. W. Fraser.
These two brotherhoods, along
with the switchmen's union, recall
a strike today. The other II unins
had called off their scheduled
strike earlier.
The Department said it did not
know whether the switchmen had
cancelled strike orders or on y
postponed them.
This statement was issued by
the department:
1.-THE War Department m
public today that the orders issued
by certain of the railway brother
hoods do not cancel the strike or
der as it had been given to under
stand, but merely postponed it.
'.Mr. Robertson's order to the
brotherhood of locomotive firemen
and enginemen reads:
"Due to federal control of rail-
roads strike postponed
A general chairman of MIR. Fra
ser's organization of the order OF
railway conductors issued orders
reading:
"Due to Federal control of raj
roads strike by members OF the
order of railway conductors and
others of our craft which has been
called for 6 am. December 30 has
been postponed. Please consider
this bulletin not to leave the serv-
ice December 30
1.-THE wording of the order IS
sued to the switchmen is not known
in the War Department.
However, as long as this con-
dition persists the War Department
will not be able to crafty its de-
sire to return the railroads to pri-
vate ownership as the orders mere
| ly relate to the temporary stu
alton during government control. y
The Army, on orders from Pres
ident Roosevelt, took control OF the
roads Monday night as a move to
avert a threatened strike.
| Robertson, Fraser, I. c.
Cashen of the switchmen agreed
at a conference yesterday morn
ing with 1t. Gen. Brehon B. Som
erve1l, Army operator of the roads,
that there would be no strike.
This was generally interpreted
as opening the way for early re-
turn of the carriers to private
management, and tonight's state
ment indicated that also was the
