CATTLE:
Less Slaughter

Because cattle slaughter for the
first nine months of 1943 dropped
to 100000 head from the 9,067,-
0O5 killed during the same period
last year, 700 million pounds less
beef have been produced.
During the first few weeks of
October, however, cattle slaughter
showed an increase over preceding
months, with 406,961 head killed,
On October 10, 20 major markets
received 100000 cattle for record
run, with Kansas City receipts of
$1,000 setting an all-time mark.
According to reports, many thin.
grass-fed cattle were finding their
way to the stockyards instead of to
the feed lots of the Midwest's corn
belt. Prime fed cattle were selling
only slightly below the July peak.

1913 will fall below President
Roosevelt's announced goal of
125,OOO planes, the Office of War
Information said. War Production
board officials have cut estimates
of output to 10000.
In reviewing the aircraft pro-
gram, OWL noted that the period
of experimentation has passed
with the result that production is
now being concentrated on proven
models. Engine improvements have
given American fighter planes in
creased speed and climb, while de-
velopments in armor and gunnery
have added to the strength Of
heavy bombers. Dwarfing even the
famed flying Fortress, new long
range bomber capable of carrying
heavier loads will soon make its
appearance.

Dnieper Battle RGges

The titanic struggle on the Dnle-
per river increased in violence as
the Russians poured more troops
across the broad waterway and
the Nazis rushed reinforcements to
bolster their sagging lines.
Although apparently successful
in stabiIizing their lines in the
north, the Germans found the GO
ing rough in the central and south
ern sectors. The Russians were
successful in shifting their at
tacks from one point to another
and keeping the Nazis off balance.
These tactics were evident in the
Kiev, Melitopol and Kremenchug
regions. After being held near
Kiev, the Reds switched their at
tack to Melitopol to the south.
When the Germans rushed rein
forcements to the area, the Rus
SLAMS then shifted to heavy at
tacks on Kremenchug to the north.

johnson, intimating, perhaps,
that he will take the matter to
court, pointed out that the board
had merely ordered st. Pierre back
to active duty, that it had not
given its reasons and conclusions
for so doing-reasons and conclu-
sions. johnson said, that he wanted
to be on record.
He said that was the only rea-
son for his appearance before the
board.
The board concurred and
forthwith drafted a motion to
the effect that st. Pierre's
mental condition, for which
he had been retired several
months ago, had, upon re-
examination, been found i'm
proved and that he had then
been found fit to return to
duties as a police officer.
Chief of Police Tom Ross, TAX
ing exception to Johnson's con-
tention, remarked that while it
was true st. Pierre could not
handle many duties of an outside
patrolman, he was given work
which it would have been neces-
sary to have some able bodied
patrolmaE perform. Therefore.
Ross concluded. st. Pierre's work
could be described as that of a
patrolman.
With his return to the force,
st. Pierre's pension was halted
and his regular salary of $3.50
month for active duty resumed
net loss of some $500 a month
for him, considering that he was
making a total of approximately
$500 a month from his shipyard
job and his pension.

the war manpower commission
which has the job of pre-deter-

Meanwhile the private builder,
with an idea for possibly so new

overstep any bounds on size or use
of material. The completed paper

to get permission to build and to
see if priorities can be had for
the materials to build the houses.

Once his plans have been ap-

The committee also adds that he
will start hunting for labor TO build
the houses at the same time with
the hope that all the workers will
not be in the shipyards or drafted
into the armed forces by the time
his materials are on the lot and the
driving of nails and pouring of con-
