African Preparations
For The Big Invasion
Continued from Page u

always tough. Hitler did not risk it
against England even when he was
riding the crest of the wave after
Dunkirk.
The fact that airpower is ex-
pected to play the most important
role is manifested not only by the
present fierce air battles which show
that the Axis still possesses hordes
of fighters but also by the existence
of huge Allied airdromes. No doubt
from a military view the Allies
could use plenty more planes but
to layman's eyes it looks like all
the airplanes in the world have
come to this arena for what may
develop into the greatest test of the
luftwaffe's strength since the battle
of Britain.
Welding all of these elements into
a tornado of explosion, fire and
bayonetting which will pulverize the
enemy when the proper time comes
staggerS the imagination. And SHOW
ing the organization of it along at
such rate that only few weeks
after the Tunisian surrender the
enemy doesn't know when or where
he is going to be hit next constitutes
one of the greatest feats of this
or any war.
One thing which strikes you here
is the absence of military ceremony
There is no time for much tradi-
tional ritual, but nevertheless there
is an occasional touch of it when a
distant bugle sounds or the shrill
piping of a boatSWain'S whistle
comes over the waters.
Some cities here resemble Holly
wood streets, crowded with Arabs,
yelled women, striking blends Gun
veiled, soldiers looking rumpled,
Sweaty sailors in shorts, French ar
chitecture, Enthusiastically ragged beg
gars, turbans, fezzes, steel helmets,
brunooses, kits, berets, big Ameri-
can cars, tiny European cars and
even some German VolkSWagonS -
those automobiles which Hitler was
going to put in every German ga
rage. Some of them were captured
when the Yanks showed up here in
North Africa.
War is in the very air you breathe,
grim and sinister. Nevertheless, with
all this picturesqueness sometimes
1t almost seems as if you were just
around the corner from Sunset and
Vine in Hollywood and you wouldn't
be surprised to see the people troop
into sound stage No. 20 after lunch
at the cafeteria on the studio lot
It's real, yet unreal. Like seeing a
man electrocuted.

New Head OF Realtors
Declares Free Press
Is Vital TO Victory
Money in War Bonds
Needed to Control
Initiation, Por.ey Told
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. Jan. 16-The new
president of the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards believes
that next to winning the war the
most important thing for this and
future generations is an absolutely
free, unbridled, uncontrolled press"
At his installation last night Cyrus
Crane Willmore told the closing
session of the associations annual
business meeting that a free press
means an economic freedom and
without it there could be no free
dom.
Mr.. Wlllmore, st. Louis builder
and a past president of Optimist
International, asserted that real
tors must stand ready to fight for
a free press" and I'VE must pre-
serve free enterprise"
Free Enterprise Basic.
without free enterprise this war
would have been lost months ago.
Too many people seem to forget
that America was built by free en-
terprise.
THE bulWark of democracy al
ways has been home ownership, or
at least it was until the days of
the National Recovery Administra-
ton. Since NRA, the greatest hope
for democracy has been in a free
press. So long as we have a free
press we will be able to have free
enterprise.
Should the press be stiled and
controlled by Government, the
America of the last $50 years literally
Will have flown out the window
Only an absolutely free, unbridled,
uncontrolled press can save free en-
terprise, initiative and opportunity
for all"
Declaring the associations No. l
aim was toward winning the war,
MIR. Wlllmore described imitation as
"a very real and alarming danger -
and said that money in War bonds
is needed TO win the war, to con-
troll imitation, to win, the peace"
Urges Easing of OPA Curbs.
He told the real estate men that
estimates indicated that 100000
homes will be needed annually for
10 years after the war and urged
sales OF real estate now to aid the
Government in its splendid fight to
curb imitation"
ut is our job to keep up the home
front for home ownership-the back
bone of America and American in
StitutiOnS" he said
He also urged an easing of OPA
restrictions on home ownership, re-
ferring to the OPA order which per-
mitted new construction of dwell
ings for rental, but provided that
tenants could not be evicted by sale
Of the house in less than three
months and that such houses could
not be sold without one-third down

Selected Stocks Up,
But Many Leaders
Are Backward
Late Prices Uneven,
With Goins q Shade
In Majority
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-Resistance
to the stock markets forward drive
developed today and, while favorites
continued to edge higher, many
recently buoyant leaders made little
If any headway.
Prices were best at an active
opening in which sizable blocks of
low and medium priced issues
crowded the ticker tape. Activity.
slackened later but the turnover of
around 100000 shares was one of
the largest for a Saturday in the
past several months. Near closing
trends were trifle mixed, with plus
marks having a shade the advan-
tage.
The fact that the list, on average,
had touched peak levels for more
than a year in the two previous ses-
sions apparently inspired profit TAX
ing. The opinion was expressed that
perhaps the runup of Friday on the
biggest turnover since December 81
last, called for at least temporary
correction. Investor purchasing Of
dividend payers as means of off,
setting heavy income tax demands
again provided a prop for individual
issues. The war news still was viewed
as bullish marketwise, especially for
equities with peace rating.
Steels displayed considerable in
decision after yesterdays lively per-
formance. Estimates of fourth
quarter earnings for the principal
producers in this field. while opti-
mistic as compared with the third

some analysts.
