NEW YORK, Dec. 28-(U,P-
The nations industrial corpora

forced to shelve their RECEIVERS

banded military demands, APP
pear likely to let dust gather on
their peacetime plans until the
United Nations smash Germany
and pile up enough equipment to
crush Japan.
Military leaders, who not long
ago were predicting the col
lapse of Adolf Hitler's Wehr-
macht before the end of this
year, have revised their est
mates on when We day will oc-
cur, with some placing the end
in the summer of 1945.
The revision of opinion on the
duration of the European con-
flict threw a wet blanket on
plans for return TO peacetime
output-in some areas limited
reconversion already had start
ed-and placed new emphasis
on the urgent need for critical
weapons of war.
Best evidence of the sudden
change in production policy was
seen in December when the Ma
tional Association of Manufac-
turers changed the name Of its
49th annual meeting from the
Reconversion Congress of Amer
lean Industry in recognition Of
the need for concentrating on
munitions production.
300,0 900 WORKERS NEEDED
Military and vernm C n t

for at least 100000 additional
workers for war output, told in

met, and in turn were pledged
support by the NAM members.

WAR COST REACHES
QUARTER TRILLION

Informed observers estimated
that war production, expected to
hit S64, 900, 100000 in 1914, will
run around $50, 900, 100000 next
year. The United States from
Jan. !, l94l through Dec. 81,
1914, spent nearly S250,000,000,
900 on war or national defense
measures, it was estimated.
The national income continued
TO soar to record levels, attain
ing an estimated $158,000,O00 in
1914 against Sl47,900,000,000 in
l943, but some quarters look for
drop next year if We day
comes before the close of fiscal
year l945. Employment contin-
ued to taper off from the all
time peak of 64,600,O0O persons
set in September, 1943, and it
was estimated it may continue
to slide in 1945.
The Federal Reserve Board S
index of industrial production
declined from month to month
during 1914, although war output
was stepped up late in the year.
Many important items, how
ever, set new record highs.
STEEL OUTPUT A RECORD
Steel output was estimated at
a record 100000 net tons
compared with 88,836,366 for
1943. Carloadings made a new
all-time top on a tonnage basis.
Bituminous coal output hit a

Electricity production rose to a

 General Macarthur said that one other enemy destroyer and two freighter transports were so severely damaged in the 36-hour running fight, they may also have been sunk.
 The dead were left in the burn ing waters.
 Fifty Japanese planes were re- ported destroyed in the battle and the Americans lost eight.
 Only one Japanese vessel was able to escape unscathed, that one being destroyer.
 This furious battle of Lightn- ings, and the speedy hard-hitting PIT boats, occurred off the north west coast of Leyte Island. This convoy will be sadly missed by the Japanese ground troops, who are being pushed into the north west corner of the island.
 About 30 Japanese planes att tackled the American convoy from the supply run to Ormoc at dawn On Sunday, but were met by marine fighters, which down. ed II of the enemy craft.
 The American supply ships suffered some damage, the com- munique added.
 Later reports from the western and northern parts of Leyte showed little change on the ground.
 The 77th Division is still cleaning up and consolidating their position around Ormoc, while the 32nd Division at the northern approaches of the Or moe Valley, are maintaining steady and heavy pressure against tough artillery back Jap anese opposition.

STARK REALISM
FEATURES FILM
NOW AT CAPITOL

To David l.. Loew and Albert
Levin belongs rousing cheer from
Imoviegoers everywhere for their
brilliant film translation of great
and famous book-Somerset Maug
hams The Moon and Sixpence."
Their film production of this ex-
citing yarn opened last night at
the Capitol Theatre thru United
Artists and was rated as extremely
welcome by the audience.
Not one line of this hardy classic
has been deleted or softened to
spare the feelings of screen audi
ences. The script, which blends
stark realism with vivid drama and
romance, is literally sailed with di-
alogue of the sort that may cause
the ladies to rise and shake their
fists; but they are not likely to ig-
more it,
Albert Levin, who wrote the
lscreenplay for The Moon and Six
pence" and also directed the pro-
duction, has indeed earned himself
many new laurels This film is a
rich, down-to-earth picture that
rings the bell on all entertainment
counts.

B0GART VILLAIN
AGAIN IN DRAMA
AT 10Th CENTURY

Bad guy Bogart returned to his
rods and robberies yesterday IN
Warner Bros thrilling gangster
film, The Big Shot" which OPEN
ed at the goth Century Theatre.
The temporary reform he under
went for The Maltese Falcon and

ed terseneSs, ruthless action and
sharp ongued retorts still make Bo-
CART the screens number one tough
guy no matter which side of the
law he's on.
Appearing opposite Bogart is
Irene Manning, who makes her film
debut in The Big Shot Her charm
plus her acting ability assures this
young lady of very successful

THE Big Shot" is loaded with ac-
ton and suspense, coupled with b.

three time loser who is over-cau-
tious against any future acts which
will send him up for life.

History

Maybe lot of our readers are like
some friends Of ours who, during
recent discussion, were equally di-
vided on one point. \
One preferred Bourbon, and the
other, Rye. But, neither knew how
these two American WHISTLES got their
start-Bourbon in the South, and
Rye in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
When the first settlers came to
Virginia they were initiated into the
use of a new food product maize.
Maize, or corn, was grown by the
Indians as provender crop in the
neighborhood of the first Virginia
colonies They introduced it to the
colonists, who made it one of their
staples.
When the land was cleared, con-
siderable corn was raised and sur
plus developed in possession of the
miIlers who were paid with part of
the crop for grinding the grain into
flour. Eventually these millers dis
covered that their surplus corn could
be more easily stored in liquid form
than in the grain, so they distilled it.
They made whiskey.
Later on, in the days of Daniel
Boone and Henderson, when tho
restless Virginians went westward
across the mountains to seek new
homes, in what is now known as Ken
lucky, they took corn with them and
continued their early Virginia prac-
tees. Then Bourbon County in Ken
lucky was born, and it became ia
nous for its distilleries. The whiskey,
made from corn, became known as
Bourbon whiskey. 1t is still famous.
Pennsylvania became favorite
territory for early German immi-
grants. Rye was their favorite bread.
So, when they came to the new
world, they brought rye with them.
Ii was planted and milled, like corn
in Virginia, and the surplus was
made into whiskey.
Maryland, too, became a producer
of this type of alcoholic beverage,
and then followed preference for
rye in the central and northeastern
colonies.
Corn made the trek westward with
the Vrginians, and it became
staple food crop throughout the
South and Southwest and far West.
These became known as Bourbon
territories.
But, during the past few years,
great progress has been made in the
field of blended WHISTLES. Many of
these WHISTLES have no definite Rye
or Bourbon characteristics, and yet
are very popular with those who
have preferred Rye or Bourbon.
The skillful blender Is responsible
for what appears to be an unmistak-
able trend to the lighter blends. He
has discovered that people today
eat lighter food, wear lighter cloth
ing, prefer lighter tobaccos. So, he
strives skillfully to create light, pal
atable blended WHISTLES which have
a universal appeal.
The next time you enjoy your
drink of fine blended whiskey. re-
member that a lot of pains have
been taken to please your very mod
ern, sensitive tastebuds.
