ANSWER TO PROBLEM

Richard Fernbach. staff mem
Der, who presented the plan TO
the commission, said that develop
ment OF the extensive project in
stages was the answer to the
city's long discussed problem of
beautifying the river front.
AREAS east of the Belle Isle
Bridge can be developed at rela-
lively low cost, inasmuch as a
great deal Of the land Is already
publicly owned" Fernbach said.
"In the area west of the
Belle Isle Bridge 10 Third ave-
nue., progress will be relatively
slow, due to the existence of
buildings and other develop
ments which may be useful for
a number of years and which are
probably too expensive TO re-
move in the near future"
12-POINT PROGRAM
The commission approved a p
point program proposed in the
report. Major recommendations
were these.
THAT the seven mile 1,400
square mile area be redeveloped
to provide the highest possible
social uses" that industrial and
commercial uses now existing
in the area be limited to those
requiring water front, those with
extremely high property valua-
tion which would prohibit re-
location for great many years
and those directly servicing the
east side.

CHALLENGE IGNORED

No opposition to the American

Post-mortem arguments over the

CONGRESS-:
Rolls Up Sleeves

In assembling for its first session,
the 10Th congress faced a stiff job
on both foreign as well as domestic
issues relating not only to the sue
cessful prosecution Of the war, but
to permanent peace as well.
In international affairs, of course,
recent incidents in Poland, Greece
and Italy are expected to lead to-
ward congressional pressure for a
stricter definition of our foreign
policy, while attention also will be
devoted toward the development of
an organization to preserve the
peace with proper respect toward
the interests, of all nations.
On the home front, the manpower
problem will remain foremost, with
need for maintaining an adequate
production force and at the same
time meeting military demands for
more men. The line against inf1a-
ton also will have to be held in the
face of higher wage and price de-
mands.

PACIFIC:
Step Up attacks

With General MacArthur's forces
consolidating their positions in the
central Philippines, U. S. airmen
stepped up their attack on enemy
shipping and installations about the
main island of Luzon to the north.
At the same time, carrier : borne
aircraft blasted the Japs' big air
bases of Formosa and Ryukyu, serv-
ing as reinforcement centers for
the Philippines.
The anxious Japs themselves
looked nervously to an American in
vasion of Luzon, with the enemy
trying to comfort himself with the
assumption that he had sufficient
forces to meet thrust there, and
shorter supply lines favored him.
Not only did U. S. bombardment
of shipping about Luzon hamper the
movement of materials about the
main island itself, but it also i'm
periled the movement of material
to the southern islands.

CIVILIAN GOODS:
1915 PROSPECTS,

11FO TOSpeCCS
With the European war having
taken an unfavorable turn, and the
nations total resources needed for
continued record production of war
materials, there will be little i'm
provement in stocks of civilian
goods through 1945, the War Produc-
ton board predicted.
With the frozen stockpile down TO
$4,000 units, and resumption of pro-
duction unlikely until after the Euro
pean war when almost six months
will be needed for reconversion, me-
chanical refrigerators will remain
practically unavailable. If manufac-
turers can start on production Of
375,000 all-steel ice-boxes, civilians
will receive about $4,000 quarter
in 1915.
Of $4,000 electric ranges author
lied for 1915, civilians are to get 65
per cent, while about 100000 cleo
trio irons will be assembled. Some
aluminium kitchenware will reach
the market but output of cast iron,
enamel and galvanized utensils
probably will remain down, primari-
ly because of manpower shortages.
Although WPB authorized produc-
ton of 319, 492 vacuum cleaners in
1945-a fraction of the peacetime
output of 1,903,0 900 annually-actual
manufacture may fall short of goal.
Because of the increasing scarcity
of lumber, the supply for furniture
is expected to remain short. Produc-
ton of innerspring mattresses will
be negligible for at least six months.
Only for small electrical appli-
ances are prospects described as
brighter.

Perhaps one of the most basic

adage that exceptions prove the

The rule is that clothes do not

which proves it is the fact that in

kind of military or semi-military

or of the Nazi party.
Ludendorf
Struck Keynote
The day war broke out about one
third of the German people were
literally clothed in the panoply of
war. This was not an accident. It
was part of the Nazi policy. The
Allies themselves more nearly
reached a state Of total warfare at
the end of World War I than did
the Germans of that time. Luden-
dorff read this fact out of the bitter
ness Of the defeat Of 1918. He said:
total policy must in peacetime pre-
pare for the peoples life and death
struggle in time of war in such a
way that even under the impact of
war it cannot be shifted, broken or
completely destroyed by enemy
measures"
Hitler reaffirmed this thesis and
what is more Immediately put it into
effect as q policy, first by elini-
mating all organizations not under
either the party or the army. A law
was passed as early as March, 1885,
which stated that "in wartime every
German man and every German
woman, beyond CONSUMPTION, is
bound to render service to the
fatherland."
Let us look at some of the "organi-
cations" which grew up under this
policy Of total war. First in inpor-
lance, historically, is the 'Sturmab-
telling" translated "Nazi Storm
Troopers" abbreviated 'SA" and
usually called the Brown Shirts"
Although this group contained mill
tary units, it was planned as a
political army" and was abolished
as such after the Roehm purge of

UN-AMERICANISM:
To Resume Inquiries

The new house had barely settled
into its seats before Rep. John Ran
kin (Miss.) set is agog by pushing
through the formation of a new COM
mittee on un-American activities to
succeed ex-Rep. Martin Dies de-
funct investigating committee, bit
ter target of liberal elements.
Representative Rankin resorted to
a legislative coup in having the
house approve the organization of
new committee, suddenly inserting
his proposal as an amendment to
the rules being considered for the
current session. Seventy Democrats
joined 1877 Republicans in voting for
the proposal while 1856 votes were
counted against it.
Unlike the Dies committee, which
concerned itself with investigation,
the new committee on un-American
activities will have the power to
draft legislation for correction of
abuses and submit it to the house
for passage.

EUROPE:
Tables Turned

With U. S. forces having reacted
quickly to Field Marshal Won Rund-
stedt's great winter offensive, which
carried deep into the billy Ardennes
forest, the big German bulge in
southeastern Belgium shrank under
the steady hammering of the Ameri-
can First and Third armies plough
ing forward in swirling billiards..
AS elements of the First and Third
armies punched at the western nose
of the Nazi bulge, other units of
these tried battle forces gouged into
the north and south tanks and adj
vanced within dozen miles of each
other, threatening to cut the German
sack in two.
But even as the First drove
southwark from Malempre and
the Third northward from Long
champs, Won Rundstedt was re-
ported setting up a new defense
line halfway back from his
deepest penetration, with strong
Nazi armOred formations throw
. ing in constant counter-attaeks
in deadly battle of attrition
to cover up the move.
. With both sides bringing their
heaviest weight to bear in the with
ering battle of Belgium, and with
Won Rundstedt seemingly deter
mined to continue the fight in the
hilly Ardennes, the enemy appeared
to have temporarily succeeded in
turning the struggle away from the
vital Ruhr and Saar valleys, heart
of his heavy industries.
AS the Allies threw their full
weight into the battle, it was re-
vealed that elements of the Brit
ish Second army joined the US.
First in the attacks on the north
ern flank of the bulge, and Field
Marshal Montgomery was given
overall command of forces in
this sector. Not only the British
Second but elements of the US.
Ninth and Seventh armies also
were moved into the line to
mount increasing pressure, the
NaZis said.
With the withdrawal of the major
strength of the Third army from the
southern end of the western front,
~. S.. troops dropped back from ex-
tensive holdings in the Saar and
'Palatinate in the face of heavy Ger
man pressure designed to exploit
the realignment of forces. ss
