Postwar Products
TO Be Good Value

Postwar cars may include a
businessman's model with filing
cabinet, work table and two-way
radio, according to John B. Breen,
associate of Raymond Loewy, in
dustrial engineer. Immediate post
war products, however, will not
be revolutionary.
Industry must choose" he ex-
plains, between giving people,
quickly, products which they need
but which are much like prewar
models, and putting out new prod
ucts not fully tested. They will
choose the former"
The governments taxation pol
icies, in many cases, will deny in
dustry immediate funds for ex-
perimentation, so that the first
postwar purchase money will "go
into a capital fund that industry
will need for developing and per-
fecting new products.

 It was the fourth attack on Omu- ra, and the third carried out by in- strumentS; the targets in the first three strikes were the aircraft fac- tories and one of Japan's biggest navel air installations.
 Several of the crewmen over Omura also had taken part day earlier in the record attack by a variety cS lanes on the HankoW docks ard warehouses. Their to- tai combat mileage for the two days was about 4,0OO miles, or twice across the United States.
 Some of the big ships flew to Comura and then returned to other targets to drop their bombs. Light anti-aircraft fire and fighter opposition was reported. Several Japanese fighter formations were seen, but the airmen said they did not press an attack.
 Some use of aerial bombs against the American formations was re- ported.
