Key Positions Seized
Huge numbers of airborne Allied
troops have seized key positions and
have helped throw back the Nazis
in tangled counter blows.
The Germans likewise rushed in
parachutists.
For four months the Germans
have been building up an airborne
army just for this purpose. The
Allies for the past several months
have been aggravating the Germans
by making various feint attacks on
beaches to keep the Nazis forces
worried as to where the big strike
would be made. The Germans claim
they knew where the landings would
be made but their coastal guns made
no reply except to fire on navy craft

constant fighter patrol over sixty
mile square of France near Le-
Havre, approximately at the north

are protecting it every minute, and
enemy planes which attempted to
penetrate it are virtually condemn

LINER PLAYS BIG
ROLE IN INVASION
BY JUDsON O'QUINN

LONDON, Oct. 8. -(P)- The An
con, an ocean liner which the Unit
ed States turned into a floating
military headquarters, has gone
home after successfully leading
four invasions of two continents.
Now the roles this brains ship
played off the beaches of French
Morocco, Sicily, Salerno and Nor
mandy may be told.
Originally built as a $5,O00,00O
passenger and cargo liner intended
for the Caribbean tourist trade, the
Ancon first served the army as a
transport taking American soldiers
to Australia.
The "children's play ROOM be-
came the admiraFs cabin, and the
bar and grill were taken over by
staff and intelligence officers.
The Ancon landed doughbcys on
the beaches of French Morocco in
the invasion of North Africa in No
vember of 1912.
She carried the leaders of the
thrust against the Italian mainland
at Salerno. Aboard her were Vice
Admiral Henry K. Hewitt, directing
all naval operations, 1t. Gen. Mark
W. Clark. commander of the Fifth
army, and other high ranking Am
erican and British officers.
She stayed in Salerno bay and
withstood four flaming days and
desperate nights. While she was
being attacked is times from The
air in less than Is hours her ra-
dio intercepted a German message
ordering her sunk at all costs.
But the Ancon lived through 1t
and on June 6. 1914, was back for
the greatest single movement Of
ships and men the world has ever
seen.
Rear Admiral John Leslie Hall,
Jr.. commander of one of the two
divisions of American task forcet
assigned to the Normandy invasion

and Beardsley Ruml Of pay-as-you'
go tax fame, came promptly to the
defense of their figures. They were
backed up by DR.. E. A. Golden,
weiser, director of the division OF
research and statistics OF the led
eral reserve system.
'"The widespread impression that
the war placed the American PEG,
pie upon a much higher plane Of
national income" says digest OF
DR.. Mayors study, ''is due to fail
ure to take account Of the abnor-
NAL current increase in wages, prl-
ces and unemployment, as well as
to confusion of thought and In
sound statistical procedure"
DR.. Mayer assumes that in l947,
a date selected as the first settled
postwar year, there will be no ap-
preciable change in the general lev
ell of wages and prices, and

for site near the Hudson termi-
nal in lower Manhattan.
Tallest for the midtown is a A.
story proposition for the Sixth ave-
nue blockfront where the old Hip
podrome once stood. This building
would rise 495 feet, provide 1884,
900 square feet of office space and
cost $9,375,0O0.
The garment center, which ex-
tends from Times Square south to
the Pennsylvania station neighbor-
hood, would see three structures
added to its crowded array, call
ing for 30 to AZ stories each and
costing $4,000, 900 to 100000.
Real estate experts doubt that
some Of the proposed skyscrapers
actually will be erected to the
heights planned. In the downtown
district it is considered doubtful
that financing could be obtained
for an area in which office vacan-
cies were serious problem before
wart i m governmental leases
brought temporary relief. In the
garment center it is noted that the
proposed new building sites are in
the very district where owners pro-
tested Mayor F. H. LaGuardia's
scheme for an 100000 fashion
center on the grounds of an over
abundance of rentable space.
However, postwar construction
that does not materialize probably
will be the exception to the rule.
Necessity underlies most of the
plans. Truck haulage, for instance,
requires accommodation to the
point where the Port of New York
Authority is ready to proceed i'm
mediately with a So, 100000 truck
terminal. This project, a thousand
feet long, will occupy three Man.
haitian blocks in the Holland tun-
mel zone and will create about sew
en- acres of floor space for trucks
and trailers.
To meet the demands of post
war aviation Idlewild airport is al
ready under construction in Jamai-
ca Bay. This $5S,O0O,0O operation,
scheduled to be finished by the
fall OF 1945, covers $500 acres and
dwarfs LaGuardia airport.
OF the $1,270, 900, 900 involved in
the public works program, $780,
90O, 900 is provided by federal
funds, $164, 10000 by New York
state, $578, 100000 by the city, $4S,-
800, by tunnel, bridge and hous-
ing authorities, and $8,50,O0O pri-
vately (by museums and institu-

ton 20 per cent above that of 1910,
when the net national income was
given as $50, 400, 900, 900.
"The gain, however, is deceptive
so far as real income is concern
ed due to the extensive rise in pri-
ces," the digest says. Further
more the increase in the proper
ton taken by the government in
taxes leaves less for consumption
and savings"
The Mayer conclusions are based
on these assumptions
/. That there will be no sharE
boom or precipitous collapse follow
ing the war.

rates will be approximately the
same as in 1943, and that there

Question of Reality
Of Sin, Disease And
Death Topic Of Sermon

"Are Sin, Disease, and Death
Real?" was the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon in all Christian
churches and societies yesterday.
The Golden text was from
Psalms 30:2, 3. 80 Lord my God,
cried unto thee, and thou hast
healed me. o Lord, thou hast
brought up my soul from the
grave; thou hast kept me alive,
that I should not 60 down to the
pitt
Among the citations which COM
prised the Lesson-Sermon were
the following from the Bible:
NOW therefore hearken, o Israel,
unto the statutes and judgments,
which I teach you, for to do them,
that ye may live, and 60 in and
possess the land which the Lord
God of your fathers giveth you.
Unto thee it was showed, that
tnou mightest know that the Lord
ne is God; there is none else be-
side him" Oeut. Al, 35).
The Lesson-sermon also includ-
ed the following passages from
the Christian Science textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: "Sin, sickness, and death
are comprised in human material
belief, and belong not to the divine
Mind. They are without a real
origin or existence. Immortal
Mind is the only cause, therefore
disease is neither cause nor an
effect. Mind in every case is the
eternal God, good. Sin, disease.
and death have no foundations in
truth pages 276, 415).

A conclusion that Mr.. Average

won't be as well filled as other es-
timators have led him to hope is
reached in study made public

The study, by Joseph Mayer,
