SHIPS:
1916 Delivered


In the first six months Of 1943, Pa
cific coast shipyards turned out 1893
vessels Of approximately 100000
tons; Atlantic coast shipyards COM
pleted 259 of over 5000, 900 tons,
and gulf coast yards produced 1903 Of
1,150,00 tons. Grand total: 760
ships of $780, 900 tons!
Since Pearl Harbor, American
shipyards have turned out 1,496 ves-
sells, more than existed in the entire
U. S. merchant marine before the
war. This production has given the
country greater commercial fleet
than Britain and a larger one than
Japan, Germany and, Italy COM
bined.
Once looming as the great bottle
neck in Allied war plans, Americas
industrialists overcame the shipping
hurdle with a mass production tech
nique which also has given the U. S.
supremacy in aircraft construction.

flowing overseas in great numbers,

GAS:
Sees More for East

Completion Of the .'big inch" pipe
line to the East which will supple
ment the railroads transport Of oil
to that section of the country, will
result in a reduction Of the "A'' and
possibly the "B'' and "C'' gas ra-
ton cards in the central states, Pc
troleum Administrator Harold l..
Ickes indicated.
At present, "a" card holders in
the East only receive III gallons
per coupon, while the same coupon
draws A gallons in the central states.
Ickes indicated that central states
allotments may be cut down as much
as two gallons.
Gas rationing in the central states
has been primarily enforced for the
preservation Of rubber, Ickes said.
Because oil was relatively plentiful
in these states as result Of INSULT
cient transportation facilities to haul
it to the East, rations were more
liberal. Now that facilities are avail
able for increasing the haul, how
ever, Ickes felt that the supply
should be 'equalized" as much as
possible throughout the country.

SICILY:
Yanks' Test

More than three divisions Of Adolf
Hitler's crack German troops took
up positions around San Stefano in
northern Sicily to await the assault
of Gen. George S. Patton's charging
American Seventh army.
The San Stefano region doomed as
the Axis northern anchor for their
shrunken lines in the mountainous
corner of the island where they
found themselves pocketed. Much
like the Tunisian terrain, great diff
cu1ties confronted Patton's Yankees,
who were faced with a tedious crawl
up rocky slopes in the face Of stiff
machine gun and mortar fire.
To the west Of the Axis defenses,
stood the Canadians, encountering
the same obstacles as the Ameri-
cans. To the south, Gen. Bernard
Montgomery's British Eighth army
poised for action against strong Ger
man forces, which had held them
up in the plains after a slashing
tank attack.
Thus the final phase Of the battle
of Sicily opened.

FDR:
Help to Servicensen

Declaring that Americas service
men and women must not be de-
modified into an environment Of in
fiation and unemployment, to q
place on bread line or selling ap-
pies, President Roosevelt outlined a
six-point program for postwar re-
covery.
The program was the highlight Of
speech in which the President de-
clared Mussolini's custer was the
first crack in the Axis, and the mi
tial step in Italy's democratic re-
constitution.
The Presidents six-point program
for rehabilitation includes: l. Mus
tering out pay large enough to cover
the period before employment is OBJ
tanned; 2. Unemployment insurance;
8. Opportunity for education or trade
training at U. S. expense; 4. Credit
for unemployment compensation,
old age pensions and survivors in
surance for the period they were In
service; 5. Adequate disqualification,
medical care and rehabilitation Of
disabled servicemen; 6. Sufficient
pensions for disabled in armed
forces.

DOCTORS:
Face Draft

Out of the nations 10000 doctors,
$4,000 already are in uniform, and
out of the 10000 dentists, $1,000 are
in the services.
However, the army has requested
a substantial addition to these num-
bers, and to meet the need, the War
Manpower commission has planned
to draft doctors and dentists be-
tween 38 and As years of age.
Under the WINGS plan, the army
would waive its prohibition against
the drafting Of doctors and dentists
over 81. Faced with induction as
privates, the men will rather seek
commissions which their professions
ordinarily are granted when en-
tering the service.
Heretofore, local and state COM
mittees have recommended induc-
ton Of doctors and dentists.

Said General Eisenhower: l. Only

possible immediately under honor

Recently Leonard Lyons, New

aviator-author, who is back on the
fighting line again although he is 43
years old, wrote to his American
translator:

Food Program,


1t was cooler and more peaceful
day than many which had preceded
: it in Washington. The President
was in genial mood when he met
the press and radio representatives
The administration, he said, is
working on new food program.
A few days before, I talked with
a member of the administration who
said to me: Frankly, if we have
a food program, / can't find it." And
he was very anxious to locate it be-
cause a lot of his friends had been
asking
The President, at the conference
I referred to, explained that he'd be
tickled to death if anyone would ex-
plain to him how he could reduce
prices in accordance with the sta
bilization under the present limita-
tons set by congress.
A little bit later, I heard it said
fatty: "We've got to increase prices
If we expect the farmers to raise
enough food to meet the present
goals"
Now, Howard Tolley, chief of the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
(whose business it is to figure out
what is needed, not how we'll get
it, says this:
Increased Consumption
eff the United States carries out
its proposed international pledge to
do all that is needed to provide
better diets for it's own people, the
consumption of dairy products here
would have to be increased 40 per
cent"
That is just one product-repre-
senting, of course, milk, butter,
cheese.
In order to bring the national diet
up to the standard set, truck crops
would also have to be increased
about 80 per cent, eggs more than
20 per cent, fruit about 20 per cent,
according to Mr.. Tolley, and to raise
crops for such a market would take
about 40 million additional acres of
cropland or about one-eighth more
than is now cultivated.
With the present full employment,
Tolley says that this extra output of
the farmers product could be abb
sorbed. And this leaves out what
would be sold abroad.
Right now, industry is working on
plans to maintain this "full employ
ment" by converting war plants to
peace plants. Industry is trying to
compete with the government in
postwar planning in this field.
How many farmers are interested
enough to get up and say their say"
In favor Of plan that will keep
enough people at work so that they
can buy this extra 40 million acres
worth Of food they need to be
healthy?
