Five weeks of urgent battlefront
appeals for more munitions show
ed concrete results Thursday in an
official report that production of
B-29 Superfortresses went up 30
per cent last month and that Is
other critical programs are begin
ming to catch up with military
needs.
Acting WPB Chairman Inland G.
Batcheller said that November arms
output was wonderful but he eau
toned that schedules call for ire
mencouS" increases in the months
ahead.
Batcheller's observations broke a
month-long gloom that character
lied virtually every statement on
production by government leaders.
Though brimming with optimism,
the acting WPB chief said that
new army and navy requirements
could be met only by using all our
resources in manpower and facilit-
les"
B-29 SuperfortresSeS are now roll
ing off the assembly line at a rate
that can be called "a production
miracle" with November procue-
ton about double that of June,
Batcheller said.
At the same time. he disclosed
that additional facilities costing
possibly S50.000,00o would be built

Housing Dearth
Remains Acute

Fifty prefabricated houses are in
process of construction 5cr the site
south of the baseball field, at total
cost of between $4,000 and $780,
00O Twenty-Five have been erected.
The remainder are delayed indefi-
nitely by material shortages, notably
of lumber, plumbing supplies and
cooling devices, j. S. Rodgers, local
manager for the Shumaker-Eva
company, Phoenix, which is building
the houses, said.
Some of these houses have two
bedrooms, are 81 feet long inside.
Others. with one bedroom, are 25
feet long inside. They are II feet
wide. Each is equipped with toilet
and shower
They are being constructed by
the Federal Public Housing Admin
istration. and will be administered
by the Ell Centro office of the hous-
ing authority, Rodgers said.
They will be available, when fin
ished. for employees of war industries
and civilian personnel of military
or naval establishments, but will
not be available to military or navy
personnel.
Again, they do not come close to
meeting the housing problem i'll

much less as it will be soon.
William G. Duflcck, manager of

said that his rather extensive cor

sources of housing aid thus far have
got him nowhere.

The fact that these plants cam
not possibly get into operation be
fore late next year gave added
emphasis to speculation that the
Allied high command may be pre-
pairing for the possibility Of con-
tinued operations in Europe through
much of l945. Only two days ago
the army suddenly doubled its &C.
nand for heavy winter clothing,
another possible hint that the Eur

for some time.

Wives of servicemen stationed at

With the steadily increasing en-

In the case of qualified teachers,
it is a matter of only two weeks at

Japs eyed the American soldiers
who confronted them with ready
rifles. Then one of the enemy
made a lunge for a nearby hand
grenade. When the smoke had
cleared two of the Japs were
dead and the third had been TAX
en- prisoner.
THE Japs, it was learned from
the prisoner, were members of
a patrol which had been sent out
from the enemy garrison in My
itkyina a week before. All but
three of the patrol had been
killed trying to get through Am
erican perimeter defenses, and
the remaining trio sought refuge
in the nearby jungle. Hunger
finally drove them into Corporal
Green's camp, where they were
foraging for food when discov-
cred.
Corporal Green's outfit was
flown into this vital river town
in July while heavy fighting still
was raging and was put to work
at once installing communica-
tions between Myitkina and Mo-
gaung. The Signal Corps crew,
harassed by Jap patrols and snip
ers, pushed the line through 40
miles of flooded jungle land in
ten days. In many places, the
men found it necessary to swim
from pole to pole with the loose
end of the wire tied around their
waists, as they pushed the line
forward, even though they had
assault boats to carry the equip
ment across the inundated areas.
Green, who is. a graduate of
Pascagoula High school, has.
served overseas IL months in
the China-B urma-India theater
of Operations.
