which matched the SCATTERING
aerial blow at Hamburg, Septem-
Der 20, 1913.
Of the 10000 men, 1000 were
flying personnel. About 1900 men
were required to load the planes
with bombs.
The 1000 planes used 1000, 600
gallons of gas and thousands of
gallons of oil. Machine guns on
the planes were loaded with $780,
900 rounds of ammunition.
About 43 planes were lost on
the mission, the 18th heavy as
sault on the German capital.

strikes is through upward revision of
wage rates, or even more effective
ly, by rigid reduction and control
of prices of the necessities of life"
While Senator Austin (Vt.) con-
tended that labor draft would re-
duce turnover in war plants and al
low the War Manpower commission

Green said the act would amount to
Involuntary servitude, since civilian
workers would have to take jobs in
plants operating at private profit.

EUROPE:
Beachhead Battle

With the sea at their backs, U. S.
and British troops traded heavy
blows with the Germans on the An
zio beachhead below Rome, as the
big battle for the Eternal City ragged.
While other Allied troops crawled
forward up rugged mountain slopes
about Casino, the forces at Anzio
fought with tanks on leveler ter
rain, countering the full weight OF
the enemy's famed panzer units.
In assaulting the beachhead, the
Germans concentrated on the north
ern sector, 10 miles above the port
Of Anzio, through which supplies
were streaming to Allied forces.
With the area under fire Of enemy
artillery and bombers, Allied troops
fought hard to keep the port open.
Bloody fighting continued on the
Casino front, with doughboys talk
ing one by one concrete houses
made into fortified pillboxes by the
Germans, and other Yanks strug-
Cling up monastery hill to gain COM
mand over Nazi positions and the
supply road leading to Rome, which

RUSSIA:
Firms Talk Peace

Russian troops made further gains
along the Estonian border on the
north end of the 300 mile eastern
front, while reports indicated that
the Firms were sounding out Mos
cow for peace terms.
AS the Russ continued to chew
into Nazi defenses below Leningrad,
the Germans fell back to avoid en-
circlement from the rear, and each
step backward found them closer to
Estonia and the other Baltic states
of Latvia and Lithuania.
Russo-F Finnish peace repeatedly
hung on terms Moscow might offer,
with the Films receptive to proposals
based on the 1910 border, but op-
posed to occupation Of their military
and naval strongholds by the Reds.
With the Russ again in possession
of much Of the mining region Of the
southern Ukraine, Finland remained
one of the last sources Of nickel for
the Germans, and Hitler repeatedly
sought to prevent F'inland's deser-
ton of the Axis to protect these de-
posts.

WAR COSTS:
Cut BY Army

Because of industry's speed in de-
veloping production efficiency, and
also because of the arny's insistence
that savings be reflected in reduced
prices, costs of military goods have
been cut by 20 per cent since 1941,
Brig. Gen. Albert J. Browning, di-
rector of purchases, declared.
In all, savings have amounted to
about $4,000, 100000, and an addi-
tional 81, 700, 100000 will be saved in

Because the army has worked for

War II.
CHRISTIANITY: Natives Of one
of the atolls Of Kwajalein in the
Marshall Islands asked Maj. Gen.
Charles Corlett's permission to hold
religious services after American
troops had occupied it. The Japs,
they said, had discouraged Christian
services. Missionaries have been
working in these islands for many
years.
TRANSPORTATION: The WPB
has released nearly two million tons
of steel, copper and aluminium for
domestic transportation needs for
the second quarter Of the year. This
is enough metal to make 1880
freight cars and $50, 900 tons of rails.
The automotive industries request
for 1877, 900 tons of carbon steel for
replacement parts was granted.
RETIRING: Representative Will
Rogers Jr. of California stated that
he would not seek reelection in No
venber, but would retire from poll
tics and reenter the army in which
he holds a second ieutenant's COM
mission.
BRITISH HENS: The banging OF
the anti-aircraft guns around London
has had an adverse effect on egg
production. Older birds ignore the
noise, having become accustomed to
it, but young hens seem to be
suffering from shell shock and are
laying fewer eggs.

PACIFIC:
Strike Westward

! Two years and two months after
the Japs' assault on Pearl Harbor,
u. S.. air and sea forces struck back
at the enemy's own big Pacific base
of Truk in the Caroline islands, CEN
trail hub Of Jap naval operations for
their extended empire reaching into
the Philippines and Indies.
Preceding the attack on Truk by
several hundred planes operating
from carriers shielded by a strong
armada of battleships, cruisers and
destroyers, long-range Liberator
bombers plastered the other big Jap
bastion Of Ponape in the Carolines.
Centrally located in Japan's Pa
cific empire, both Truk and Ponape
serve as a radiating point for enemy
naval and air forces to operate
against an attacking force while
close to home stations. Loss OF the
Carolines to the Japs would mean
loss of their advantage of operating
close to defensive bases, and, vice
versa, give the Allies the advantage.
/ AS the Liberators took to their
wings to plaster the Carolines, U. S.
ground forces were putting the fin
ishing touches to fighting in the Mar
shalls where small islet garrisons
were being rooted out, and in the
Solomons, where Allied landings to
the north trapped $4,000 Japs hold

CONGRESS-:
Ban Subsidies

With congress voting against con-
tinuance of subsidy payments to re-
duce retail prices Of meat, butter,
milk and other food items, COP
house members served notice that
if the President vetoed the bill they
would attempt to make 1t part of
the measure to extend price control
after June 80, thus forcing the Presi-
dent to accept it or kill his whole
anti-inf1ation program.
To assure continued existence OF
the Commodity Credit corporation in
the event Of a presidential veto Of
the subsidy clause, congress wrote
in an emergency provision extend
ing its life until permanent 1egisla-
ton could be passed.
In voting against consumer SUBJ
sides, congressional foes Of such
payments said they could only save
the average family about II cents
day, during time when national
income was at an all-time level. Ad-
vocates of subsidies, however, said
abolition Of such payments would
bring about z per cent increase in
the price Of the foods affected, and a
3 per cent rise in the general cost
of living, leading to clamor for
higher wages.

Gas From, Coal

With government officials warning
Of only a 14-year u. S. oil reserve
at the present rate of consumption,
Rep. Jennings Randolph CIV. Va.)
introduced a bill which the house
speedily passed, calling for an ex-
penditure of $3O,O00,000 on the con-
struction of experimental fuel plants
to obtain gas from coal, oil, shale
and agricultural and forest prod
ucts.
The U. S. bureau Of mines labora-
tory at Pittsburgh, Pa, already has
developed oil from coal through a
chemical process utilizing hydrogen,
but costs have amounted to Is cents
a gallon, compared with costs Of
only S cents for getting fuel from
oil.
Whereas u. S. oil reserves have
been estimated as sufficient for ID
years, the bureau Of mines said U. S.
coal resources could furnish materi-
al for gas for 5000 years.
