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 Cam
ada are equal to the task Of supply

said in an address to the Canadian
club. ~. $50 az
IA Since the outbreak of the war,
Nelson said, the two countries have
turned out $4,000 airplanes, and be-
fore the end of the year, our capaci-
ty will be $4,000 annually.
More than 5000 large caliber
guns have been made, he contin-
ued, and more than 1900, 900 ma

1,600,0 900 trucks and nearly 10000

CONGRESS-:
Adiour1,s 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 q
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
100, billion dollars was appropriated.
Observation-Disclosures 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 $4,000 was re-
pealed. Spurred by the walkout Of
the nations coal miners, anti-strike
Legislation was passed over presi-
dental veto. Although both houses
took favorable action on the Conn
modify Credit corporation and ag-
ricultural department bills, they
killed 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
1913 was up two billion dollars over
last year. 4. A.sz
Total income amounted to So, 1885,
100000. OF. this, $6,412, 100000 was
gotten from marketing, while $780,
100000 was obtained in government
payments. II,
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 comrnod-
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.

RUSSIA:
BIitz Again

Seeking to wipe out the big Rus
sian bulge on the central front, $780,
600 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 adj
mitted that the Nazis had scored
early gains. According to the Rus
SLAMS, the Germans were backing up
their forces with masses Of tanks
and airplanes. In action was new
tank, bigger than the 60 ton
Mark vi.
From dispatches, the battle as
sumed the old lines Of German blitz-
kreig. The Nazis concentrated their
strength at certain points and then
threw their whole weight against
them. AS their forces streamed
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.

Diary of a Broadcaster

The Washington atmosphere af-
fects strangers who tarry long with
in the shadow Of the Washington
monument or the Capitol dome. It
affects not only the so-called higher
species but the citizens of cat-and-
dogdom as well. Today, came
down town at an odd hour-an in
teresting hour. was little later
than usual. The war workers and
the clearinghouse cats and the al
ley pups, which wait until the work.
ers are out of the way, had vanished
on their various duties; only an in
dolent and disreputable Tom still
paused to massage its hips against
a garbage can, and yellowish part
fox terrier, certainly part, and from
his brush, certainly more fox than
terrier, lay in the exact center of
the alley where anything that ran
down the middle gutter would even
tually reach him.
These creatures sniff at protocol
and treat it as they do anything
else they sniff at. But that hour, is
also the hour of the pet parade, for
the handsome creatures that strain
at leashes. The most unhappy per-
son meet at this bewitching hour
is a thin little relic of butler, who
is literally torn between losing his
dignity and his grip on one of the
embassy great danes.
No men like to walk dogs. All
dogs like to walk men. But one
gentleman. dog nurse dared me to
stare him down. He was being led
by stiff-legged aristocrat, a young
wired-haired fox, as white and
starched as if his proud mamma
prepared him for birthday party.
Then there was the sad-eyed cocker,
who dropped its eyes, sadder still
when it realized I had noted that
its mistress was wearing a far too
informal house dress for polite
street wear.
And then, there was the little one
by-five, it undulated along with q
rather forced smile. It was a dachs-
hund and probably anti-Nazi. 1t was
hustling along like a caterpillar in
high gear, trotting with its hind
legs, and hopping with its little tur-
tle-paws in front.
I even met feline on leash, a
great big tortoiseshell Thomas-it
looked as if it was safer that way
for the rest of us-all I could think
of was tiger, tiger, burning bright
in the jungle of the night"

GIRAUD
Welcomed in Capital

While $4,000 residents Of Mar
Unique repeatedly rioted in support
of Gen. Charles DeGaulle, Gen.
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 Cen
erals Giraud and DeGaulle. The COM
mittee already had appointed a mill
tary commander over the territory.
General Giraud's stock in Allied
circles rose with the U. S. govern
ment's announcement that it had UNI
covered a secret document, showing
that General DeGaulle's followers
have sworn to perpetuate him in
power after the war, contrary to the
promise that the French people
would be permitted to freely choose
their own leaders following the lib

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 3ts 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, mill for rolling steel plates
will be completed to round out the
construction, and this building alone
will be LOO feet long and 800 feet
wide.
Built in consultation with the Unit
ed States, Bethlehem and Republic
Steel corporations, the Fontana mill
has cost SO million dollars. The
RFC advanced the funds.
