PACIFIC:
Deadly Enemy

Pocketed by closing American
pincers on all Of the South Pacific
fronts, Japanese soldiers were des-
perately fighting to the last, with
U. S. troops literally advancing over
their dead bodies.
Following the heavy enemy loss
on Saipan, no less than 1898 enemy
dead were counted in the fighting
on Guam, with Japanese units still
resisting, while 5000 fell on Tinian,
with scattered bands directing
sniper fire from caves and dugouts.
To the south along the northern
New Guinea coast where a success
sion of u. S. landings between
enemy forces cut them off from one
another, fierce Japanese efforts to
hack their way out of the steel trap
were countered by heavy American
resistance.

u. S. BUDGET:
Near 100 Billion

Figuring on Germany's defeat be-
fore next summer but a longer war
against Japan, Budget Director Har-
old D. Smith estimated U. S. expend-
itures of 981s billion dollars during
the fiscal year ending next June 30.
Of the total of 981a billion dollars,
about 80 billion will be for the war,
Smith said, with possible increases
in the event that the European con-
fiict is prolonged, requiring a great
er output of munitions.
With receipts estimated at 451s bill
lion dollars, there will be deficit
Of over 521z billion, Smith predicted,
with the national debt rising to over
$50 billion dollars.

BIG BROTHERS.:
Business Epic

More than 40 years ago, two Of
the Fisher boys from Norwalk, Ohio,
came up to Detroit, Mich, to take
a job with the Wilson Body company.
Several years later, they started up
a business of their own, bringing
their four younger brothers in with
them as they grew up.
Building their business on the be-
lief that people preferred closed auto
bodies, the six Fisher brothers de-
veloped the famous body company
bearing their name, over which Cen
eral Motors corporation took con-
troll in 1919. Sticking with the com.

STRIKE:,
Philly Tied Up

Production Of radar, heavy artil-
lery, bombs and other ordnance was
seriously hampered in Philadelphia
when transportation lines running to
the surrounding war plants were
paralyzed by strike of 5000 bus,
trolley and subway operators over
the hiring of Negro drivers.
Adding to the transportation tie
up, which was only partially relieved
by OPA's increase in gas rations to
permit use of automobiles, were
scores of clashes between whites
and negroes, faring throughout the
whole city and accompanied by ex-
tensive damage to property and loot

ROADS: Unless highways through

as peacetime conditions return, the
National Safety council warns. The
huge number of old machines that

Because of an upward revision in

production must be speeded up by

Somervell said that contributing fac

jobs and the unpleasantness and low
er pay for work in such critical
heavy industries as forgings and

AS Allied lines heightened and the
pace of battle stepped up requiring
longer columns of transport and
more and more munitions, the need
for trucks, shells, bullets, etc.. will
continue to rise, General Somervell
said, demanding stepped-up output.
