MUNITIONS:
Need Great Quantities

Gigantic battles are in prospect
and equally gigantic quantities of
materials will be needed to achieve
the victory, but the U. S. and Can
ada are equal to the task of supply
ing the Allied forces, Donald Nelson
said in an address to the Canadian
club.
Since the outbreak of the war,
Nelson said, the two countries have
turned out lis, 900 airplanes, and be-
fore the end of the year, our capaci-
ty will be $4,000 annually.
More than $4,000 large caliber
guns have been made, he contin-
ued, and more than 100000 ma
chine guns and 100000 rifles have
been produced. About Is billion
rounds of small arms ammunition
1900 bullets to each Axis soldier
have been manufactured.
Close to 5000 tanks, more than
100000 trucks and nearly 10000
scout and combat cars have rolled
off the assembly line of the two
nations, Nelson revealed. About 20
million tons of merchant shipping
have left the ways, and production
has now reached the rate of % mil
lion tons annually.

CONGRESS-:
AdjourrnS for Recess

Gaping its hectic deliberations
with an agreement to give President
Roosevelt a free hand in reducing
retail food costs through subsidies,
the 18th congress recessed for a
summer vacation.
The session saw passage of nota-
BILE legislation. For the first time,
taxpayers were put on a current
basis with the enactment of pay-as-
you-go legislation. Approximately
40 billion dollars was appropriated.
The administration authority to
make lend-lease and reciprocal
trade agreements was renewed, and
permission was given for use of 2
billion dollars to stabilize foreign
currencies.
President Roosevelt's limitation of
wartime salaries to $25, 900 was re-
pealed. Spurred by the walkout of
the nations coal miners, anti-strike
legislation was passed over a presi-
Dental veto. Although both houses
took favorable action on the Com
modify Credit corporation and ag-
ricultural department bills, they
killed a senate proposal to raise the
ceiling on corn to $1.40, and also
voted to abolish crop insurance.

FARM INCOME:
Up by 2 Billion

Bolstered by a SO per cent in
crease from marketing, farm in
come for the first five months of
1943 was up two billion dollars over
last year.
Total income amounted to 6,788,-
100000. Of this, $6,412,000 900 was
gotten from marketing, while $780,
100000 was obtained in government
payments. .....
The big increase from marketing
was attributed to the larger returns
from oil-bearing crops, tobacco,
poultry and eggs. Substantial gains
also were reported for all commod-
ity groups.
The nations heavy year-round de-
mand for food was reflected in fig
ures which showed that the increase
in income from April to May was
less than seasonal. Small increases
resulted from marketing of vegeta-
bles, fruits and nuts and dairy prod
ucts, among other crops.

Production Miracle

Sprawling over 1850 acres of
rambling plains near Fontana,
Calf, stands the first complete steel
mill ever built west of the Rocky
mountains-the work of Henry J.
Kaiser, the production genius of
World War II, the man who can get
things done.
Fifteen months ago, $4,000 hogs
grubbed over these plains. Today,
a long row of white buildings of
concrete and steel, with entire sides
of windows tinted blue, mark the
first great steel mill to be laid out
on an assembly line basis. Reliev-
ing the monotony are victory gar
dens planted around the entire site.
Everything in the new mill is
moved by 31a miles of conveyor belt.
Ore from Utah and coal from Cali
fornia move to grinders and coke
ovens on these conveyors. Two
banks of As coke ovens each feed
a huge 81 foot blast furnace, which
resembles a milk bottle. In the
fall, a mill for rolling steel plates
will be completed to round out the
construction, and this building alone
will be LOO feet long and 300 feet
wide.
Built in consultation with the Unit
ed States, Bethlehem and Republic
Steel corporations, the Fontana mill
has cost 83 million dollars. The
RFC advanced the funds.

PACIFIC ADVANCE:
On 700 Mile Front

The languorous islands of the
Southwest Pacific know peace no
more.
Along a great arc of 700 miles,
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's offensive
continues to rage, with American
troops menacing the Jap air base of
Munda in the Solomons, and Allied
troops pressing against Salamaua in
New Guinea from three sides.
Trapped in the narrow Kula gulf,
eight Japanese warships were re-
ported sunk, sent to the bottom by
a thunderous broadside from U. S.
naval vessels.
By making two landings on New
Georgia island, American troops
closed in on Munda from the north
and east. Finished by the Japs last
December, this air base would give
Allied fighters and bombers a spring
board for attacking the great enemy
naval and airplane center of Rabaul,
between the Solomons and New
Guinea. .u..

Henri Giraud was received in Wash
ington by President Roosevelt under
circumstances indicating the Allies
public acceptance of his leadership
of the French National committee.
According to the Martinique re-
ports, the rioters actions prompted
the administrator of the island to
consider severance of relations with
Vichy and entrance into the pro-
visional government of the French
National committee headed by Gen
erals Giraud and DeGaulle. The COM

tary commander over the territory.
General Giraud's stock in Allied
circles rose with the U. S. govern
ment's announcement that it had I'M

power after the war, contrary to the
promise that the French people
would be permitted to freely choose
their own leaders following the lib

RUSSIA:

Seeking to wipe out the big Rus

900 German soldiers continued their
attacks at both ends of the bulge,
with the objective of encircling the
huge Red army from the rear.
At the southern extremity of the
bulge near Belgorod, the Reds ad-

early gains. According to the Rus
SLAMS, the Germans were backing up
their forces with masses of tanks

through, the Russians moved to
pinch off the tanks and infantry and
isolate them from the main armies.
Although claiming success, the
Germans said that the huge bulge
still extended IS miles to the west.

SMOKES and the SOLDIER

Is it true that soldier is always
hungry?
Yes-up to point. But the Quarter
master Department has found that
some soldiers, particularly new re-
cruits, actually don't eat enough.
The Army mess table is exactly
like football teams training table
The food served there is carefully
planned to aid in the physical devel-
opment of the soldier. And the Army
has discovered certain little ways to
increase Johnny Doughboy's appetite.
The Army has found it can add to
soldiers enjoyment of his food-and
therefore increase his consumption of
all those carefully prepared vltamlnS,
minerals, and proteins-if he is al
lowed to smoke during meals. Meas
ured tests run by the QuartermaSter'S
Department show that food consump-
ton actually increased by SO when
soldiers were permitted to smoke Gig
aretteS at the mess table.
Smokes" of course, play prom
inent part in many phases Of the life
of a soldier. Whenever you see
news photo of soldiers at ease, you're
apt to see them enjoying a cigarette.

overseas, cigarettes-real American
cigarettes-are highly priced and al
most never present in sufficient
quantities.

Because of heavy pork production,
output of meat has been running
fairly even with that of 1912. Rec

According to recent estimates Of

rose 26 per cent over last year, and
pork production was up 40 per cent.
The severe decline in cattle
slaughter and resulting meat prod
ucts amounted to 40 per cent under
