DETROIT, Dec. % - UP -
Packard Motor Car Company
has worked out three-point
postwar program-annual pro
duction Of 100000 cars, double
any previous peacetime output;
a peacetime design of the Pack
ard marine engine used in Navy
PIT boats; and limited output of
aircraft engines, Geo. T. Chris
TOPPER, president, said today.
The automobile goal, he add
ed, lis not an opportunISt answer
to a war-sWollcn car demand,
but one set before Pearl Harbor
We are confident of meeting 1t
and are making reConVersion
plans for the expanded output in
the field as we'll as in the fac
tory.
Work on aircraft engines al
ready includes research in ad-
vanced development, facilities
for which are now being COM
pleted in the companys Toledo
plant and at the Willow Run
Army Air Base, he said.
Until the war is won," Chris
topher concluded, major con-
Germ of Packard will be produc-
ton Of aircraft and marine en-
gines and our plans will center
on war production as required in

Food Industry
Maps Growth
More Nutritious
Eotins is Studied

NEW YORK-UR)- The long
range outlook for the food in
dustry appears favorable, Clar-
ence Francis, chairman, General
Foods Corporation, said today.
The public is eating better
and more nutritious foods than
ever before" he stated. 1T can
be expected that these new and
better eating habits will carry
over into peacetime.
Progress in research has
continued to accelerate during
the war and this should result
in creating Of new activities in
this industry. Various food
manufacturers have indicated
that they plan expansion as soon
as possible after the war is over.
Our No. l JOB is TO do the ut
most toward winning the war.
The No.2 Job is to be ready for
peace. The food industry is tack
ling both jobs witn vigor."
On the unfavorable side at
the present time, Francis listed
operations under handicaps of
manpoWer and material short
ages and other wartime reStric-
tons. Many manufacturers, he
noted, ARE squeezed between
higher costs and fixed ceiling
prices.
This squeeze, in combina-
ton with high taxes, tends to
reduce profits below preWar
levels. Through 1914, increasing
sales have partially offset this
trend. Food industry sales fol-
low closely tn pattern Of gen
eral industrial activity. If gener-
al activity declines after the
war, with a lowering of food
sales levels, postwar develop
ment in the industry is likley TO
be retarded until current condi-
tons restricting profits are cor
rected.
This food industry will do
everything possible to maintain
its war record of helping to
feed the fighting forces and of
keeping the civilian public the
best fed nation in the world. At
the same time, the industry can
be depended on to provide jobs
for returning servicemen and 20
plan for future expansion as
circumstances may warrant

WITH THE CANADIAN FORCES
LANDING IN FRANCE, June T.
In two hours and As minutes OF
fighting yesterday the Canadian in
vasion forces won it's beachhead and
showed on inland. The Canadian
beach area was narrow, but pro-
vided base for further penetra-
ton.
There was stiff street fighting In
the little coast towns and consid-
cradle enemy fire on the beaches
as the assault troops worked their
way through the defenses and
forced clear of the numerous steel
and wooden obstacles from the
beaches which are covered by water
at high tide, and were intended to
wreck the landing craft.
BY 10 a. m. the troops were 1000
yards inland and going strong,
meeting but small pockets Of Ger
mans.
Airborne Canadian and British
troops in this sector captured and
held several important bridges.
Cruisers gave excellent support,
knocking out troublesome artillery
battery a mile and half inland
with six direct hits.
Allied air cover was very COM
plete with Spitfires and Lightnings
over the beachhead every few min
utes.

The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
cit. Col Robert s. Allen now on active
service with the Armyo

WASHINGTON Both SIDES are
playing it down in the news. but
a red hot COP controversy is rag
ing round the large and not easily
moved frame of Wendell Willkie.
The tug-of- war is to get him
committed to go along with the
Republican candidate = and there
doesn't seem much doubt that the
candidate will be Dewey. COP
leaders with their ears to the
ground figure that Willkie has a
big bloc of do-or-die followers who
will follow him to the bitter end,
and that these followers could tip
the scale between victory or defeat.
They figure that a million votes
at a minimum could be swung away
from the Republicans to Roosevelt,
should Willkie choose to support
the President
That is why men close to Willkle,
such as Harry Luce, publisher of
lime, Lie anu rOftuilc, iidNC bCCii
urging him to get on the Dewey
band-wagon.
On the other hand, a few die
hards such as Clarence Burlington
Kelland, Arizona novelist who was
deposed as publicity chief OF the
Republican National Committee,
have been passing out word that
they don't want WILKES support
for Dewey. Kelland is a close
friend of Herbert Hooyer's, was one
of Hoover's guests at the famous
Bohemian Grove celebration near
San Francisco. However, it is not
known whether he voices Hoover's
ideas when he wants Willkie to be
spurned.
simultaneously, certain 9th r
COP leaders. apparently worried
about Kelland's sour-grapes atti-
tude, have been making advances
to Willkie. The last thing they
want is to lose the Willkie bloc
of votes.

AN INVASION PORT, June T.
Assault troops of the first invasion
wave hit the beach near Cherbourg
and didn't see a single German.
During the first hour demolition
work destroyed the concrete tank
barricade, according to the prear--
ranged plan, with dynamite charges
They blasted the barricade SO the
Allied tank column could charge
through.
The only evidence they saw of
the enemy was a lone Messer-
schmidt which appeared overhead
and promptly fled when American
fighters dived on it.
A few shells were lobbed over by
German gun batteries after the
landing, but casualties are described
as light.
Here's One Story
That is the story of one beach
sseed as told by wounded evatuees
who reached this port at a.. m.
Among them was Cpl Johnny La
dognata, %, of Brooklyn, who suf-
fered a slight fracture of the left
wrist. Johnny hit the beach with
the first wave as part of a de-
molition team of % combat en-
gineers carrying explosives to de-
stroy the concrete tank barricade.
They were carefully briefed in
advance as to the precise location
OF the wall and just how to reach
it SO the tanks could get through.
Johnny said: I'VE crossed the
Channel in an assault transport,
and were put over the side in a
Higgins boat for the 10-mile run
to the beach. I was scared as hell
on the transport, but once we got
our little landing craft started for
the beach forgot all fear, but we
were soaking wet and almost sea-
sick.
Fight Like Hell
las saw the beach loom up
ahead, I was SO damned mad I
just wanted to get in there and
fight like hell"
Johnny and his buddies said the
bombardment which preceded the
landing was magnificent"
I'VE planted our charge, blasted
hell out of the wall without los
ing a single one of our men, then
zing, shell came over and ex-
ploded nearby. A hunk of shrap-
mel smacked my hand.
We'll, I guess my part in the
show is over" Johnny added.
