Military Planning
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enqulrer)
 There is considerable public misunderstanding about the reported shortage of certain types of munition and other war materials Many Americans are of the opinion that United States soldiers at the front being to battle with only handful of cartridges; that big guns often are forced to shut down" because their crews have run out of shells. Such picture does not reflect the true state of the ammunition shortage"
 In drawing plans for any military campaign, a tremendous factor is allowed for reserves and un- expected contingencies. There always is a great cushion, both of men and materie in several zones of support lying behind the actual of operation Each of these support is equipped with szable armies and great quantities of guns, tanks trucks, food and oter necessities of battle. And behind the last support zone case of America, lies the home land with it's gigantic warehouses
 Thus after an operation begins if original esti- mates of the rate of use were too low the first support is called upon to fill the breach. I'm mediatey there is movement from each of the support zones take up the slack-to fill the vacant spots in the zone immediately forward n as is apparently true today inventories in the homeland thus drained fall below what military commanders believe to be a safe total production is upped and the margin Of safety is restored. In war such we are fighting in Europe, military planners do not feel that the margin is really safe" unless it is great enough to support military operations for many months on a full scale every production center in the United States forced to close.
 There is no reason for us to suspect that because General Eisenhower calls for doubled production in certain lines, there is pressing lack of those items in the field of battle. If that the sort of mli tary leaders we had, would have been defeated monthe ago. We will, the General asks, speed the manufacture of the materials needed We will fill the gaps at once never allowing the present short ages be reflected in campaign operations along the European front.

MOTOR CAR OUTLOOK

Among automobile manufacturers and dealers alike opinion is practically unanimous that the era of automobile purchase and use which will follow the end of the will be far the most active that the country ever has seen. The year 194l marked the high point in passenger-car registration, when 29,- 507l33 registered. The figure for 1943 was 26 0l9432, and there has been further heavy decline this year. The 1914 almanac of Automotive News quotes survey by Nash-Kelvinator which makes the forecast that in each of the first five postwar years a minimum of 350O00O will be scrapped, but that
 total of 34 00O 900 will be required by 1850 Produc tion figures of at least 6000000 units year fore seen the peacetime automotive machine really begins to roll again.
 While the more radical predictions of new-car design unlikely to be fulfilled, after the period when dies and jigs in storage have been used to make the first postwar models, the consensus is that the cars which can be called new from a design standpoint, will be better looking, comfortable and economical to operate, although

 HEART AND HOME: Officers in the armed forces will commend the heroes on the battlefronts, bringing much pride to American home circles. The stars seem to promise rewards for women who have worked and sacrificed during the war period.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS American merchants and manufacturers will see on their books substantial fig ures that reflect tremendous achievements in production and distribution. Scientists and invent ors will continue under stimulating aspects that promise continuance of magic powers.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Although taxes will not decrease in 1945, they will have attained a special sig nificance in the United States since they made possible amazing ac- complishments in the World War There is sign indicating increase in the nations financial responsi- bilities which include wholesale re- lief for war victims in many coun- tries.

stepped up.
Nine new raids in two days against
six atolls were announced yesterday

These raised to 48 the total num-
Der of air missions against the mid

The most telling effects of these
ralds-damage caused to airfield
facilities and wharves by bombing

up to 80 per cent of the target areas
had been destroyed.
These attacks have been concen-
trated largely on Jaluit and Mill

turned to the pressing problems of
the Districts. private hospitals by
statements given by two visitors,
Mrs. Millard E. Tydings, wife Of the
Maryland Senator, and Mrs. w.
Warren Barbour. widow of the late
Senator from New Jersey.
Chairman McCarran said "ques-
tion of doing something to provide
proper hospital facilities for the
District" was brought up at the in
stance of Mrs. Tydings and Mrs.
Barbour, who had been giving their
services to hospitals as nurses
aides. Their reports, he said, indi-
cate that all but one of Washing
tons private hospitals (this was
assumed to be Doctors Hospital, the
Districts newest) are sorely in
need of additional beds. additional
equipment, additional facilities such
as linens and the like, and addi-
ticnal equipment of all kinds
Continuing, Senator McCarran
said: I'm some instances contagious
cases have been handled loosely, SC
as to jeopardize the welfare OF
others in the hospitals. In many
instances beds have been placed in
Railways and corridors and some OF
our hospitals appear to be infected
with a large breed of cockroach and
other unwelcome forms of life"
When the question was raised as
to what could be done, he said 1t
was developed that most of the hos
pitfalls lack sufiicient financing. that
they have been depending on dona-
tions, annuities and endowments
many of which sources had disap-
peared.
Senator McCarran said:
I'VE and the Commissioners pro-
posed to make an immediate study
and to confer with Federal author
tiles to see what can be done for
Washington hospitals. All this goes
back to the study made by this COM
mittee over year ago, when the
chairman and others sought pro-
vision of extra beds, when our ef-
forts were turned down.
There we're statements to the
