INDUSTRY:
Must Take Initiative

Warning that industry must find
its own work when war conf acts
r no longer available, Donald Mel
son, chairman Of the War Produc-
ton board, told the house postwar
committee. that:
g.. it won't be the governments
job to find work for each company
in its present expanded position. It's
impossible to find a postwar market
for the 5000 airplanes we now pro-
duce monthly"
Stating that he was 100 per cent
in favoring governments assistance
in postwar planning for industry,
he said that he was against govern
ment running" small business. He
urged that companies now engaged
in war production use their own in
genuity and initiative in planning
their postwar programs.
He forecast a postwar "expan-
sionist" period in which private
enterprise rather than the govern
ment would provide the necessary
spark" Government pump prim-
ing would be at a minimum under
such conditions.

LIBERATED BAYEUX:
First Of Many

Eyewitness accounts described
great Joy in the streets Of Bayeux,
France, first city to be liberated by
Allied troops in the invasion Of west
ern Europe. On the main rail line
linking the big port Cherbourg to
Paris. Bayeux is five miles inland
from Seine Bay.
God save the King. We've wait
ed for this day. On to Paris! Vive
Tommy! Vive Amerique!" These
were some of the rejoicing cries
that greeted the first attachments
to march through the narrow streets
of the Normandy town. Cheering
men and women danced through the
same streets as the troops came in.
Cafe owners began throwing open
their doors with pianists striking up
patriotic tunes to add to the festivity
of that first day.
Europe was to see many towns
cleared of the enemy in the weeks
to come but Bayeux got its niche in
the history books when the Ere h
Tricolor was hoisted above it again
on the second day of the Allied land
ings in France.

HUTTLE.BOMBINC:
Russian Bases Used

New dispatches began carrying a
new dateline that read From a
U. S. Air Base Somewhere in Rus
STA" and this spelled historic mill
tary significance in cooperation be-
tween the United States and the
Soviet Union. For the first time,
U. S. planes had taken off from
bases in Italy, bombed German tar
gets, and continued flying eastward
to land at secret U. S. air bases set
up on Russian soil.
This new program opened the far
thest corners Of German territory
to bombing attack by Allied planes
based in Britain. Italy. North Africa
and Russia. American military
leaders had long wanted these Rus
sian bases but it took diplomatic
skill of the first caliber to get the
Russians to agree to the strategy.
They were finally convinced when it
became obvious that the U. S. and
England had the necessary planes
and the Russians did not.
First target was a Rumanian
freight yard in which the Nazis
had concentrated supplies for troops
fighting the Russians. American
Flying Fortresses were accompa.
MED by Russian fighter planes on
part of the mission.

LETTERS FROM THE
FIGHTING FRONTS
Interesting Letters From Any
Serviceman Will Be Printed
In This Column

The following is a letter re-
ceiced recently by Mrs. Marie
Stevens from her husband, Pri-
vate William Stevens, who is
stationed in the South Pacific
area:
My dear Marie:
Just a few lines this afternoon
to let you know I am still fine.
We are now somewhere in
New Guinea, in among the Japs.
We made this landing without
any trouble. We were among the
first to land, so there were
plenty of Japs here. But after
the air force got through bomb
ing and the Navy Smelling, they
took for the hills. They went in
such a hurry that they left ev-
erything behind. Their food was
still on the stove, untouched.
There are trucks all along the
road and some of them are in
good shape and are in use by
US now. Most of them are 1941
Chevrolets and Fords, although
there are a few older ones.
The day we made the landing
! helped bury a Jap and I hope
it is the last, for they certainly
are a sight.
The next morning three of us
went on a hike at daybreak. It
was certainly spooky. However
We didn't run into any Japs, so
we went through the stuff they
left behind.
We have been On several hikes
since, but have never run into
any. They are further back in the
hills. One of our boys went out
one day and brought two Japs
back with him. He is from Gus
ter, by the way. The boys on
patrol bring I'm some prisoners

Using headquarters, operating

customer goes to the regulation

chandise items today. He empha-
sized, however, that local deal

Sentialy to serve the steady and
large needs of existing home
