BUGS:
Mans Allies

Acting in conjunction with the
U. S. department of agriculture. the
nations farmers are turning preda-
tory bugs upon destructive insects
to assure crop growth.
In Illinois alone. more than 40, 900
wasps and flies were released to
combat corr borers threatening the
states rich grain fields. No sure-fre
remedy in themselves. however, the
work of the predatory insects can
only complement clean farming
and deep blowing. agronomists say.
When turned loose. the predatory
insects crawl through the corn
borer's tunnel in the stalks, with the
wasps penetrating its body to lay
eggs in it, and the flies depositing
eggs on the outside. As the eggs
feast on the borer even in the pupa
stage. they eventually destroy it.
while emerging themselves.

PACIFIC:
Subs Take Toll

With the Allies pressing closer to
Japan's inner supply lines feeding
her booming war industry, U. S.
subs and air forces can be expected
to take an increasing toll of enemy
shipping, navy secretary James
Forrestal declared.
In reporting that U. S. subs re-
Gently had sent is Jap cargo ves-
sells and two warships to the bot
tom, Forrestal said such losses
crimped the enemy's whole war pro-
gram, since he must move about rs
million tons of water-borne freight
into the home islands yearly, in
Guiding rs per cent Of his oil and
gas supply from the East Indies.
Despite heavy marine losses, For
restal said, the Japs have lightened
the effects through use Of huge
stockpiles of materials built up be-
fore the war, lessening Of trans
port to encircled South Pacific
areas, and the utilization of surplus
prewar shipping tonnage.

EUROPE:
Yanks Cain

developing their offensive on the
western end Of the French battle
front, U. S. troops drove through
marshy land to envelop the COM
munications hubs of La Haye and
st. 10 against the bitter opposition
Of an enemy taking every advan-
tage of the soggy ground and hedge
rowed landscape.
On the eastern end of the front,
British and Canadian troops battled
large concentrations of German
forces on the approaches Of the de-
fensive pivot Of Caen. from which
Field Marshal Rommel was sending
out strong attachments in counter
attacks to impede the Allies thrust
inland toward the important Paris
region.
As the Allies nudged forward in
Normandy. Berlin announced the re-
placement Of Anti Invasion Chief Won
Rundstedt by Field Marshal Won
Kluge, who led the Nazi sweep
through France in 1910, and was at
the helm during the drive on Mos
COW during the first year Of the Rus
sian war.
Other Fronts
Calling massed artillery into play
from dominating heights, the Ger
mans poured fire on Allied troop
movements in Italy to slow their
steady drive up the long peninsula
to the rich agricultural and industri-
al regions Of the north.
In Russia. German forces contin-
ued to give ground before strong
Red armies massed along a 350-
mile front in the north to escape
enlightenment and destruction. Near
Wilno, the Reds milled on the thresh.
old Of the Baltic states. while farther
to the south their pressure forced
evacuation Of Kowel. bending the
enemy line farther back toward
Warsaw.
Focal point Of German resistance
In Italy was below the famed port
of Livorno Neghorn). whose cap
ture promised to give the Allies an
other good Mediterranean harbor for
the easier transport Of troops and
supplies for the crucial fighting in
the north.
