ROAD BUILDINC
Huge Program

With urgent highway construction
in the early postwar years exceed
ing 10 billion dollars, the vast guam
titles of labor, material and equip
ment needed for carrying on the
program should act as a stabilizing
factor in the future economy, the
American Road Builders associ-
atoms engineer-director, Charles
M. Upham, declared.
By next October, the states will
have drawn up plans for. n billion
dollars of highway construction de-
ferred because of the war, and city,
county and local road projects will
amount to another billion.
Postwar plans of business and
industry call for greater production
and distribution of goods" Upham
said. "That means roads and streets
must carry greater burdens. OBJ
viously, inadequate roads and
streets will hold back business and
industrial activity"

of its abandonment by 25, 1000 Nazi

Junker military caste. Calling pam
ger formations into action along
roadways leading to the heart of
the province, the Germans sought to
stall the Russians advance west
ward, originally paced by an esti-
mated 600 tanks.
Compelled to throw additional
forces in Hungary to stave off the
Russian drive on Budapest, the Ger

broad gateway to Austria from the
western end of the country. In
raging tank battles, the enemy sue

News for Consumers

On the home-front, consumers
heard this news:
There will be less meat for civil
ians in November but more of the
better grades. There will be less
cheese but the same amount of but
ter as in October.
Approximately 300 plants were
authorized to produce 152 million
dollars of civilian goods during the
next year.
Infants and children's clothes
were expected to be in greater sup
ply next January, February and
March. Cotton textile controls will
be maintained after Germany's de-
feat.
Possessing available facilities
and labor, the 800 plants will be
permitted to manufacture vac
uum cleaners, bed springs and
innerspring mattresses, auto
motive parts, building materials,
plumbing and heating items,
household aluminium ware, cleo
trio irons, lamps, lawn mowers,
furniture, church goods, fountain
pens and sporting goods.
Because of pent-up demand, made
wen more formidable by swollen
purchasing power, the mount of
goods authorized represents virtual
ly a drop in the bucket.
To assure production of more in
fants' and children's wear for the
first three months of 1915, the War
Production board moved to release
material for 80, 600, 900 gar
ments, and also laid down specifica-
tons for the type of goods and work
manship to be employed.
The WPB hurried the program
as its chairman, j. A. Krug,
announced that because of drops in
of cotton textiles due to labor
controls will be extended
after Germany's downfall to prevent
acute shortages.

Previously, federal agricultural

years after the war.

Air
Power

To regard IL as a recent In
novation is simply to ignore the
history of aerial warfare.
THE Germans turned their
i fighters into bombers in the
Battle of Britain.
The mistake they made was
10 use these fighter-bombers
for strategic rather than purely
tactical missions.
BY adding bomb racks to
their fighters they sought to
supplement their bombing
force. which happened to be in
adequate for strategic demo-
lition.
1t should be noted. neverthe-
less, that the Nazis did use
some of these fighter-bombers
to attack airdromes--which is
exactly what we are using them
for today in Fortress Europe.
In the Libyan campaign, too,
fighter bombers were utilized
TO good effect by Allied leaders
in support Of their ground
actions. JUnr
bomber has long been an IN
, tegral part of surface opere-
tons. entirely familiar to all
airmen. so that they are
shocked to find II treated as an
accidental discovery of recent
vintage.
I had occasion some months
ago to comment In these dis
patches on the increasing use
Of the fighter to bomb surface
detectives.
I alluded at that time to an
occasion in 1917, In the last
stages of the war. when we had

mand OF the fighter force.
In this war our forces have

hawks and other fighters for
bombing tasks In the Tunisian,

The conversion of some PATS
for bombing jobs Is In no sense
an innovation. II was merely a
matter of an established routine
practice.
