POSTWAR AIR.
World Traffic

As representatives from Allied
and neutral nations met in Chicago
for the international civil aviation
conference, principal question aris-
ing was in what way could coun-
tries best cooperate IN the develop
ment Of extensive postwar traffic.
At the opening session, three
methods were proposed. The U. s.
suggestion advocated q free devel-
opment between friendly and pro-
gressive states, with an internation-
al body which would merely consult
and advise on ALLEGATION of air
routes, rate fixing and regulation Of
competition.
On the other hand, the British
called for the regulation of postwar
air traffic through a strong inter-
national authority, which, like the
u. S. civil aeronautics authority,
would assign routes and have q
voice in rate making.
Australia and New Zealand pre-
scented the extremist view Of pool
ing all aerial resources into an in
ternational operating company.

pushed the enemy back to the noun
famous western portion Of the is
land.
Because of the terrain, difficulty
was encountered in the speedy cree
ton of air fields on Leyte, but, as
construction progressed, increasing
numbers of fighter planes took off
from the new bases to join carrier
borne aircraft in attacking shipping
seeking to reinforce the entrapped
enemy troops on the island.
With her back being pressed
closer and closer to the wall,
Japan's Premier Koiso called for
greater war production, declaring
that many troops had died for lack
of munitions. Almost as Koiso spoke,
the enemy reported B-29s recon-
noitering over Tokyo. F

WAR PRODUCTION:
V-E Cutbacks

One-third of all war contracts will
be terminated within three months
after the defeat of Germany, a War
Production board official announced,
with speedy settlements with manu-
facturers assuring smoother recon-
version.
To date, the government has let
1926 billion dollars in war contracts,
it was revealed, with competitions
totalling 240 billion dollars. After
cancellations, about 65 billion dol
lars of contracts are now outstand-
ing, one-third, or about 20 billion
dollars worth, of which would be
terminated on We day.
Of $1,000 contracts valued at 0
billion dollars cancelled thus far,
$4,000 have been settled for $40 mil
lion dollars, WPB said.
re Shipping
Germany's defeat will not lessen
the demand on the U. S. merchant
marine, the Office of War Informa-
ton reported, with military and re-
construction traffic continuing to and
from the continent, and more ship
ping needed to transport increased
forces and supplies over vast dis
tances in the Pacific.
Three times the amount of ship
ping presently engaged for the Euro
pean war may be required for the
Pacific conflict, it was said, and east
ern ports will be used to relieve
some of the tremendous traffic that
will be imposed on those in the
west.
Presently, owl revealed, no less
than 100000 tons of shipping are
being used just to transport sup
plies from overseas bases to fight
ing fronts.

:UT FROM a - q BOARD

uERE is pair of gifts that will
L bring joy to any homemaker.
The salt box has the graceful pro-
portions of those used in Colonial
kitchens, and the rack with cup
hooks screwed in place for hot pan
holders is designed to harmonic
with the box.
Both box and rack are easy to
cut out of plywood or scraps of
thin lumber-either by hand with
a coping saw or with a jig saw.
The quaint stencil design may be
applied right on the wood with wax
crayon and then shellacked to fix
the color. This washable finish
brings out the brilliance of the
crayon colors and at the same time
gives a soft antique finish. The
stencil also may be used with oil
paint if preferred.

FEED:
Outlook Good

Despite smaller supplies of con-
centrated feed for the 1944-'45 sea-
son, more will be available per ami
NAL unit, however, because of re-
duced livestock population, the de-
partment of agriculture reported.
Because of the record production
Of corn and sorghums for 1914,
USDA said, the domestic supply Of
feed grains will approximate last
years at 100, 500, 900 tons. Stocks of
by-product feeds will be slightly
larger than last year. With de-
creased demands, moderate price
declines were anticipated.
According to USDA, local feed
grain supplies are smaller than last
year in the east north central and
the western states, but slightly
larger in other sections. Except for
the west north central and the west
ern states. hay supplies are smaller.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1944-11-17

Biggest boon, however, is in the
governments lifting of restrictions
on the use of colors, with women
promised spring wear In green, lib
erty red and blue jacket blue, and
mems shoes in shades from army
russell to turf tan.

was revealed, with differently col

German and Hungarian armies
were hard pressed to hold broad
lines across the country's rolling
plains, gateway to Austria. o5q
Even as the Russians rolled for
ward, thousands of Budapest's
civilians were put to work in the
erection of entertainments and forti-
fications, and the Germans vowed
that they would make this city,
once one of Europe's prettiest, into
another Warsaw, battle-ground.
Sacred Soip
AS the Germans and Hungarians
dug in for stand about Budapest,
the Nazis fought fiercely on the East
Prussian front to slow up the Rus
SLAMS advance across the sacred

Junkers.
AS the Germans braced in East

20 miles inside the border, the Rus
