The bicycle Is back again, in prin!

place in the wartime life Of the in

Sky trucks which can deliver
fleld-fresh fruits and vegetables
within reach of the average pocket
book in all seasons have become a
postwar probability.
The most productive fields in a
thousand miles or more of Washing
ton already are inside the easy reach
Of present air transports, which can
cut the "vine-to-mouth" time from
days to hours.
Air carriers and marketing ex-
perts now are making studies and
experimental shipments with a view
to reducing the ton-mile cost. In
other words, the luxury market is
already at hand; broader trade In
select produce is probability, and
bargain possibilities remain some
thing to speculate about.
The type of cargo carriers which
will be released after the war can
be expected, carriers say, to help
many Americans get their first taste
of tree-ripened peaches, figs, man
goes or papayas-fruits which If al
lowed to develop their full flavor on
the tree are too ripe to survive long
surface hauls. Strawberries, rasp-
berries, tomatoes, lettuce, canta-
loupes, mushrooms, etc., are other
probabilities.
In an address here last week,
Stanley E. Russ, a traffic manager
for Transcontinental e. Western
Air, Inc, said q survey of market
analysts, traffic managers, engineers
and economists found them agreed
that the present cargo ton rate will
be cut to third within five years
after the war. At such a rate the
5000 tons carried in 1899 would be
increased to 100000 tons annually,
it was predicted.
These calculations were based on
present aircraft, however, although
far more efficient types are in the
works. "As a matter of fact" Mr..
Russ said, there are airplanes op-
Grating today which, while not tn
commercial service, win transport

The Kuriles were bombed and
from there to Halmahera various
enemy positions were struck. Yap,
Davao, on Midanao Island In the
Philippines; Nauru and islands in
the Marianas were hit.
During the week 1t was announced
that American submarines had sunk
18 more enemy ships and an Amer
ican bomber probably sank a Japa-
nese cruiser of Hong Kong.
Enemy losses on Guam, Saipan
and Tinian were said to have totaled
44.956, about a 10-to-1 ratio with
American losses
Friday the Japs claimed to have
repulsed an American attempt to
land in the Mapias Islands of New
Guinea, an action which found no
confirmation here.

commander signed an order calling
upon all his troops to cease fire.
In Gen. Patton's sweep to Paris,
1t was stated that the Germans
had lost 109,575 men, 11,025 OF
whom were killed, the rest being
wounded and captured.
Badly battered Nazi forces along
the Seine River front were caught
IN huge traps as part of Patton's
mechanical forces drove from their
bridgehead across the river at
Nantes, Is miles from Paris, down
toward the coast. while three other
armies wheeled westward to isolate
and pin down portions of the Nazi
divisions to the river across which
they strove desperately but gen.
orally Intellectually to escape.
Attempt a Dunkerque.
Realizing the hopeleSsness of the
situation, the Nazis attempted a
Dunkerque from LIE Havre, sending
many light naval craft and other
vessels out of the harbor with troops
from the city and its environs. They
were subjected to merciless attack
by Allied planes for eight solid
hours, with heavy loss.
In the meantime on land the
Allies drew the net closer and closer
until yesterday the Nazis along the
Seine were confined in a pocket
about Is miles deep and 20 miles
long. The casualties were occurring
at sickening rate. Canadians had
driven to point only miles from
LIE Havre and the remnants of the
Nazis north of the Seine were re-
ported falling back to the old
Somme -Marne line.
The victorious Patton units moy-
ing southeast of Paris had reached
Troyes on their way toward the
Rhine and probably had gone be-
yond that city. Another column
had captured Rheims and was
pointed toward the Meuse. River
near Sedan.
Bayonne and Bordeaux on the
Bay of Biscay were in Allied hands
and throughout the interior of
France more than 100000 Maquis
were going steadily about the busi-
ness of mopping up isolated Ger
man garrisons.
In Italy, Florence was completely
in Allied hands and some advances
were scored In the upper Arno
Valley. Generally speaking, how
ever, the Allied forces were biding
their time until the time is ripe
for a new drive northward.
Allied air forces kept up a con-
slant attack throughout the week
striking mainly at airfields and
synthetic oil plants and giving air
support to the ground forces in
France.
Double -barreled Raid.
In the Pacific, most spectacular
action of the week was the double
barreled air raid on Kyushu Is
land by the B-29 Super Forts. va

pal target of a. daylight attack and
when a second wave of planes came
over at night, fires from the first
raid were visible while the planes

Throughout the week Allied air
craft kept up incessant pounding at

LONDON-Some bars offer free
beer to any one who can put $4 in

The Grave Diggers of France
By Pertinar. doubleday, Do

In four operations, Andre Geraud,
known as Pertinax and French
political columnist of the North
American Newspaper Alliance, dis
sects the nature and conduct Of four
men who, in his view, are chiefly
responsible for the downfall OF
France. The men are Gamelin,
Daladier, Reynaud and Petain. AS
the reader will see, the man COM
monty held to be Frances arch
traitor, Laval, is not included in the
group. Mr.. Geraud disposes Of him
briefly-had there been no Petain
he says, there Would have been nc
Laval. He sees that particular COL
laborationiSt as one of q swarm
which rushed in after the great
trattors-or failures-had made the
original breach tn Frances walls.
It is beyond the scope Of a news
paper review in this time Of paper
shortage to follow the brilliant, de-
tailed and merciless analysis which
Mr.. Geraud offers in every case
Sufnce it to say that he builds ur
a psychological picture on the basis
Of historical facts, that he recon
structs each man in terms of the

these things tend to prove that
Britain is frantically attempting tc

This may be intended to insure
