and new battle for that river
barrier, one of the classic defense
lines of the last war, now is under
way, official reports said.
There was no tendency here to
deny that the Germans had achiev-

in scope. Had the Allies managed
to advance as far eastward as the
Germans have westward in the last
II days, Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hoWer's armies now would be
across the Rhine and in possession
of such cities as Dusseldorf, Co.
logne and Essen.
There also was the encroachment
on the Allies main lines of COM
munications, threatening to sap
the strength of counter-dr on
either flanks which were reported
making slow progress Tuesday

German plans for an immediate
crossing of the Mouse appeared to
have been thwarted by the quick

LITERARY CUIDEPOST

By JOHN SELBY

The Army Air Forces have done quite job on themselves, and unlike most military organ izations, they have decided to take the public into their conf dence completly. We'll - com pletely, up to a certain level.
 What they have done is to work out a statement of what they are and what they do. This is called
The Nome nugget., 1944-08-09

ties of the men, their insignia, their rate of pay, and what is done about airmen returning from overseas. The makeup of crews, elements, flights, commands and such is explained.
 The reader can find some as- tonishing things, 100. For exam pie, the AAF tells right out how many planes, trucks, boxcars and such are needed to move a heavy bombardment group to new base, and describes in detail the way in which wounded are evac- uated, how airmen are prepared for survival in various regions of danger such as the Arctic and the desert, what foods are bad for high altitude work, how the AAF has run a radio beam around the ofworld and why, the classification of bombing targets and the opera ti onof the photographic swing.
 This is only a meager sugges- ton of the information contained in the book. Strangely, although in a group-prepared text such as this, one would not expect the writing to be notable, there is some very good, tough prose to be found as well. There are "war calendar and a chronologi- cal survey, and very good in- dex.

"AAF: the Official Guide to the Army Air Forces" possibly the most detailed description of a striking force ever issued in war time. It is the sort of book an air man can use for reference throughout his career, and that probably was the reason for con- piling 1t. But then it was decid- ed to offer the book to the gen. eral reader, and to give the pro- fits 10 the Army Air Forces Aid Society.
