EUROPE:
Big Crack

First German lines to crumble
during the Allies big fall offensive
along a 460-mile front in the west
were on the southern end, where the
Nazi 18th army, under steady U. S.
and French pressure, was told to
abandon equipment, break into
small groups and beat it back, as
best it could, to the Reich border.
1ndica tive of the crack in the
enemy's lines was the French LIST
arrny's break through the. Belfort
Gap, and its swing northward up
the Rhine in maneuver designed
to trap some 10000 Germans who
had been holding the Vosges noun
tain passes to the west.
The rapid French dash was fol-
lowed by the U. S. 7th army's smash
through the Saverne pass in the
Vosges so miles to the north, which
had the effect Of forming nut
cracker squeeze on enemy forces
caught between the two pincers.
Only enemy rearguards retarded
the u. S. and French maneuver, but
the Germans prodted from the
nurky weather. which prevented
the superior Allied air force from
rising in full strength to smash the
knots of Nazi troops beating their
way eastward to the Rhine.

Hit jap Heart

AS U. S. troops punched forward
on Leyte island in the Philippines,
with driving rainstorm slapping
them in the face, huge BIG super
fortresses blasted the great indus
trial district in Tokyo feeding enemy
armies all along the far-f1ung Pacific
front.
Flying from newly established
bases in the recently conquered
Marianas, 1900 miles to the south
east, the BIOS took the first crack
at Tokyo since Lieutenant General
Doolittle's carrier based medium
bombers raided the Japanese capital
In the spring of 1912. Successful de-
velopment of the BIG attacks would
imperil the major portion of enemy
industry, concentrated in the Tokyo
district.
Speaking Of the operation, U. S.

Although enemy resistance on
Leyte continued stiff, u. S.
forces continued their encircling
advances, with General Mac
Arthur stating that our superior
artillery and infantry firepower
was cutting deeply into Japanese
strength, which had been fever
ishly reinforced in an effort to
hold up the Yank drive.
AS result Of persistent U. S. at

Blaskowitz assembled all kinds Of

unable to move across the Rhine on

Although less spectacular, news
from other sectors of the winding

the coal-laden Saar basin east of
Metz, and the U. S. LIST and 9th and
the British End armies maintaining
their terrific pressure on German
defenses east of Aachen. Even
though the Allies were throwing
masses of men and material at
them all along the 460-mile front,
the Germans expected still another
drive, this one in northeastern Hol-
land, where they said the British
planned to drive around the anchor
of the Siegfried line at Kleve down
into the Ruhr valley.

STERILIZATION:
To Hold Prices, Wages

With living costs already estimat-
ed at 80 per cent above January,
1941, levels, OPAdministrator Ches-
ter Bowles moved to check recent
small price increases, especially in
clothing and textiles.
Vigorous action to halt further
advances was seen as part of the
government indicated policy Of re-
tanning the disputed Little Steel"
wage formula, under which pay
boosts have been kept within Is per
cent of January, 1941, levels.
Because Of the permissible Is per
cent wage raises, plus large over
time earnings, it has been felt that
workers weekly incomes have bal
anced. price increases. But with
further rises in living costs threat
ening that balance, the government
was expected to press hard to main
tain present price levels.
Although the National War La
Dor boards recent findings that
living costs have gone up 80 per
cent since January, 1941, was
expected to bolster the CLIO and
AFL's campaign for wage in
creases over the Is per cent
limit of the Little Steep for
mula, the government has shown
no inclination to give in to their
demands.
On the other hand, it has been
suggested, with the Presidents ia
vor, that as long as overtime earn
ings are being paid, current wage
rates be retained. With trim-off
to the 40-hour week, however, it has
been proposed that wages be boost
ed to allow workers to take home"
the same average income as they
now do.
Under such a plan, workers would
get about 80 per cent raise in pay,
thus assuring continued high pur-
chasing power with resultant slim
ulation Of employment.
AS part of its program to main
tain the present cost level, OPA
was expected to take firmer stand
on manufacturers requests for high
err prices.
