in net incomes, and others like the
wholesale and retail group report
ing a 1875 per cent drop. profit Of
259 leading big businesses for the

last year, but 10 per cent below 1941.
At the same time. an analysis Of
operations of so manufacturing COM
panies for l943 showed that costs

MEAT:
Plenty on Hand

Reduction Of government pur-
ehases Of meat in the face Of
crowded warehouses and heavy hog
receipts at markets resulted in
OPA's removal OF meat rationing
except on beef steaks and roasts.
On April l, warehouses held a
near record of l,246. 813. 900 pounds
Of meat compared with 780. SOC. 900
pounds a year ago. Packing facili-
ties were being stretched to the ut
most as farmers continued heavy
hog shipments, partly because of
the tight feed supply recently aggra-
waited by the governments embargo
on all private corn sales in 125 mid
west counties to divert stocks to in
dustrial professors.
As a result of the governments
program, virtually all wet corn
millers were operating. with enough
grain pledged for four months.

critical battle areas, u. S. and

AS the zero hour approached, the
Nazis sought to sur against Allied
landings in Holland by preparing to

POLITICS:

The ticklish problem Of supplying
U. S. soldiers with political Informal
ton on the 1914 national elections
was bravely approached by the war
department, with emphasis firmly
placed on impartiality.
Although doughboys will be per-
mitted to read their favorite maya
zine or newspaper. the war depart
ment ruled that in radio broadcasts
and service publications, equal time
or space must be granted to both
sides.
Motion pictures and entertain
ments also drew the attention of the
war department, with no partial ma
terial to be tolerated in either
source, and commanding officers to
closely guard against the revision of
scripts violating the regulation.

AIR
Monopoly Debated

Burning question in aviation
circles today is whether various
u. S. lines shall form a single COM
pany for International service or
whether they shall compete for bust
ness as separate organizations.
Although only two Of l9 U. S.
lines favor a single company, there
is strong pressure for such a setup
on the grounds that its operation on
a volume basis could allow it to
compete against foreign air lines
which undoubtedly will be finan-
cially supported by their govern
mentS.
In opposing the single company
idea, no less than II U. S. lines feel
that competition could be expected
to result in improved service and
promotion Of air travel. without fet-
tering free enterprise.

knotty problem of allowing produc-

Despite the admitted surplus OF

the grounds that such maj fracture
