NEW YORK.-In a little shop on
the East Side today as picked UP
a perfect reproduction of Currier
Autograph of New York as seen
from Brooklyn heights-the original
published in 1849 and showing the
East river full of high-masted ship
ping, river steamers and ferryboats
in the wide water tapping the shores
of Manhattan. Beyond the river
stand the old lighthouse at the Bat
terry, Bedloe's island, the original
Delmonico's, the stock exchange and
Trinity church. The first big post
Office building, st. Paul's gray stone
chapel, the Aston house, and the
outstanding red walled Bri C k
church rise farther up the island;
along with the United States hotel,
the North Dutch church, St.
Georges and the city hall. A long
graceful steamer, the Bay State, its
side wheels churning the water I'M
der the propulsion of a walking
beam, stearhs to its landing, while a
high-stacked river liner, the Van
derbilt, leisures along amidstream.
Little but the church spires and a
glimpse of the recently doomed old
Castle Garden remind one of the
New York of today.
Currier the publisher became
partner with Ives the photographer,
and together they produced the
most famous series of Autographs in
the world. =. Buyers of rare prints
have had many visits from persons
bringing copies of these pictures. In
the late '30s, when collectors were
securing the country for originals,
photographers cashed in by running
off copies which uniformed buyers
often mistake for first prints. An
original Currier and Ives is a most
valuable discovery. A mere copy is
worth no more than any other art
print, except to one who buys and
cherishes it for its historical value,
its often faultless detail, and its UNI
failing beauty.

BATHTUB DEBATE

Manufacturers of concrete bath tubs have come to town, determ- ined to wash their tubs reputation clean, as a result of findings by WIPE and the Public Health Service.
 The manufacturers are up in arms over a preliminary finding of Public Health that the resistance of concrete tubs to bacterial growth is inadequate" Makers of the tubs, organized under the Cast Stone h. stitute. declare that 0 m e b 0 d y brought a third-rate concrete cast ing to Public Health, which re- ported to WIPE that it was difficult to clean off the germs.
 But the latest models of concrete tubs are made of dense concrete, with a surface like a slab of marble The Bureau of Standards is getting out specifications which Federal Housing Administration is ready to accept. In fact, Earl w. Macy, bathtub expert for Federal Housing, says, T would use one of these tubs in my own home.

ed the great empire of her conquered islands, she could always obtain a compromise peace-a peace which would still leave her sufficient gains to pay for the itself and provide bases from which to launch the next war with better chances of com plete success
 The Allied victories from Midway to Arawe may have changed her mind regarding democratic decad- ence but as General Edson points out they have not changed her strategy, her ong-range plans. The answer to them has already been delivered in the Cairo Declaration which pledged the Allied Nations to strip her of all her conquess and to punish and restrain her aggression In addition, Generalissmo Chiang Ka-shek has declared that the Allies have pledged themselves to wipe all Japanese miitarists and to purge the Japanese political system Of every vestge of aggressive elements" with virtual invita- tion to the Japanese people to revolt and choose a new form of government
 These pledges in line with the hopes of what ever Japanse liberals have survived the many burgess for they know that only complete political social and religious revolution redeem their country They are also in line with the sentiments of the great majority of American people for every test of public opinion shows a growing bitterness against Japan. They are not in line however, with the sentiments of few intellectuas who have thus far refused to face the problem of Japanese idealogy nor are they in line with the appeasement sentiment proceeding from certain individuals who hope their former fleshpots in the It is to these elements, pre- sumably that General Edson has addressed his warning.

The Production Line
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 They said never could build efficient air. planes on production line basis. They said, when the United States set 500OO planes year as goal, that that figure could be reached But we have reached-and doibed-the 50000 annual quota And it was done on the production-line basis.
 Back in l940 it took let us say, 100 men to build a fast interceptor plane. Today with five men, we build faster nerceptor For each 100 men required in the construction of attack bomber back in l940 the aviation industry today nine men and turns out speedier more efficient plane. Our plants use only 10 men now for 100 formerly employed in the production of medium bombers-and here again the finished product is better suited to the evernew uses of battle.
 Tn leading airplane manufacturing companies out sonnel has increased only e33 per cent. In 1941 after the program really got rolling-the plants in creased production by fl per cent with an increase of only 58 per cent in personnel
 This amazing feat was accomplished in spite Of many difficulties. There were shortages of equip ment of material of power. There were thou sands of intricate production problems which had to be worked out; there engineering explorations which had to be carried to the last detail How best fighting ships placed on the production line is one of the greatest roances of the war When history tells it. in future happier time it will be seen that the American ingenuity and tenaclty which made such an accomplishment possible con- tributed tremendously to the defeat of the concepts of Nazisn.

JAPANESE HOPES

Returning from the conquest of Tarawa, Brig. Gen Merritt A Edson of the United States Marines reveals the fundamental idea underlying the whole present Japanese war plan in the Pacific The Japanese defensive strategy, adopted after the aban donment of the more ambitious attempts to invade Australia India and the United States, he says, is based on the hope that America will stop fighting be- fore attaining complete victory. For that reason, he explains Japan is prepared suffer heavy losses, such as she suffered on Tarawa, in order to make every advance of forces costly possible and thereby discourage us.
 General Edsons warning is in line with the views of the most careful students of Japanese policy, in cluong those Of former Ambassador Joseph c. Grew, who has repeatedly warned against Japanese peace offer similar those repeatedly launched by Hitler It was originally part of the Japanese credo as of Hitlers that the democraces in general and America in particular were weak and decadent, because of their 'individualisn liberalism, utiitarianism and materialism" and therefore no match for the inte- grated regimented and indoctrined national com munity of Nazi Germany andd Shinto Japan Japan in particular, thinking not in terms of today or tomorrow but of her long historic tradition felt herself safe in going to Even if she were unable to attain her maximum aim of crushing America and Great Britain and detating peace in Washington she felt confident that, firmly entrench-

 Were trying to figure out the strongest candidate to lead our party in the next election" replied White. Any ideas?"
 Nothing doing said Gillette. That's something you boys will have to work out yourselves. I'm in the other camp

 How about you, Arthur" asked White.
 Well, as I see it, military man will be the next President" replied Vandenberg seriously. I'm for Macarthur. We need a strong man like him to keep things from going haywire in the difficult post years
