FLOODS:
Thousands Homeless

Familiar but tragic scenes were
reenacted again as the Ohio river
and tributaries rose over their banks
to flood surrounding lowlands and
send thousands of homeless refu-
gees scurrying to safety.
Operations of war industries in the
rivers paths were seriously affected
as the waters rose, and residents of
the great cities of Pittsburgh, Gin
cinnati, Portsmouth and Louisville
anxiously viewed the broadening
crests, which threatened to spill
over and flood their environs.
Of all the big cities, Portsmouth,
with its 10000 people, was most seri-
ously endangered, with rising waters
tapping at the 63-foot flood wall while
state troopers and volunteers strug-
gled to reinforce it with a sandbag
levee.
With rain-swollen rivers flooding
acres of low-lying farm land in Ten
nessee, Arkansas and Mississippi,
thousands of residents of these areas
also were forced to move to the up
lands.

PACIFIC:
Stubborn Foe

Despite the loss of over 225, 1000
men in the Philippine and Two
Jima campaigns, the Japs contin-
ued to offer stiff resistance to
American clean-ups in these Sec
tors.
Indicative of the tenacity of the
enemy was his withdrawal to the
hulks of battered ships in Manila
Bay to continue the fight with small
arms fire after having been driven
out of Manila itself. Although they
already had lost over $4,000 men
on both Leyte and Luzon, an esti-
mated $4,000 Japs fought on from
natural strongpoints against Yank
attempts to compress them in the
mountains lying to the east of
Manila.
With more than $4,000 Japs al
ready killed on Two Jima, marines
still were forced to inch forward on
the northern part of the tiny island
to flush enemy remnants from the
rocky hill positions. Because the
Japs could retire to underground
shelters during heavy aerial or
artillery bombardment, the Leather
necks were compelled to root them
out in close-in fighting.

Rejecting the nations increasing
air-consciousness, and the prospects
for greatly expanded civil aviation
after the war, no less than 81, 1000
student pilot certificates were issued
during 1914 as compared with 35, 1000
the year previously, the Civil Aero
nautics board revealed.
Interested in aviation because of
some relations service in the air
forces or because increased income
has permitted training, women rep
resent Is to 35 per cent of the new
students, the CAA said. Most youths
from 16 to 81 years of age intend to
enter the air forces later while the
majority of men over 80 plan to use
their planes for business travel.
AS further indication of the fu-
ture employment of the airplane in
American life, CAA said, country
doctors and priests have become in
terested in aviation as a means of
serving larger areas and thus over
coming the limits of vehicular
travel.

EUROPE:
Span Barriers

From the west and from the east
the great battle for Germany was
begun, with a sorely pressed Nazi
command, which once marshalled
it's legions in triumph, desperately
attempting to stem the Allied tide.
Most significant of the Allied
moves was the U. S. crossing of the
Rhine in pursuit of a disorganized
enemy, who had broken off the bat
tie to the west of the river and at
tempted to flee to supposed security
behind its broad span, previously I'M
crossed since Napoleon's time.
Smashing quickly through enemy
rear-guards, who tried to slow up
the U. S. and British advance and
give the main body of their troops
a chance to escape across the Rhine,
Allied spearheads not only reached
the historic river in short time but
also SPAWNED it with the intention of
affording the disorganized enemy no
opportunity to reform his ranks for
a stiff defense of the waterway.
To 1t. Gen. Courtney Hodges list
American army went the honor of
being the first Allied unit to jump
the Rhine below Cologne. Crossing
where the river measured a quar-

FARM DEBT:
Cut Sharply

At its peak in 1923 when it totaled
over 101s billion dollars, the ma
tion's farm debt dropped to 5A
billion dollars by January, 1945, with
20 per cent reduction taking place
within the last years.
AS result of the war-stimu-
lated economy, farmers have en-
joyed high income, as reflected in
the big increase of both realty and
plant value. Since 1910, worth of
livestock was nearly doubled, ma
chinery and equipment was up one
third, and land values rose about Is
per cent. In addition, farmers hold
ings of currency, bank deposits and
war bonds increased nearly 8 bill
lion dollars during that time.
In reviewing the farm mortgage
picture, the Federal Reserve bank
showed that federal land banks and
other agencies substantially in
creased their investments during the
1930s while those of individuals
declined. The proportion of farm
mortgages held by life insurance
companies has risen slightly while
commercial banks have experienced
only slight drop.

CLOTHING:
More for Riddles

In addition to cotton fabric pre-
viously allotted for low and medi-
um-priced children's clothing, addi-
tional yardage has been allocated
for the manufacture of about 61s
million more kiddies' garments, the
War Production board revealed.
Outing flannel, print cloths, broad
cloths, poplins, lawns and cham
brays will be among the material
allotted for the extra children's
dresses, overalls, coveralls, toddlers'
dresses, jacket type pajamas, one
piece pajamas, two piece button-on
pajamas, infants gertrudes, infants
kimonos, infants gowns, creepers,
rompers and crawlers.
WPB's ALLEGATION of the cotton fab
ric was part of it's program to in
crease the output of cheaper cloth
ing and thus help cut rising apparel
costs, which OPAdministrator Ches-
ter Bowles called one of the most
dangerous wartime inflationary
threats.

MANPOWER:
Showdown Near

With the senate still strongly op-
posed to compulsory labor, work
or fight" legislation headed for a
showdown in conferences with the
house, with sentiment strong for
the grant of additional power to the
War Manpower commission to con-
tinue to exert pressure toward the
channeling of workers into needed
industry.
At the same time, congress
moved to draft unmarried nurses to
provide the 10000 needed to attend
the growing battle casualties. Under
legislation considered, nurses would
be given the right to appeal induc-
ton, would be offered commissions
even if drafted, and would be eligi-

the senate pushed a substitute
bill under which the VINO would
set the limit on the number of en-
ployees any establishment could

ter mile in width and its banks fiat
tened out, Hodges men steadily ex-
panded their bridgehead for thrust
across the rolling hill country lying
just below the vital Ruhr valley.
AS Hodges troops poured across
the Rhine in the wake of Germans
struggling inland, the enemy tried to
chop up the American beachhead
with mortar and artillery fire, and
armored elements launched limited
counterattacks in an attempt to trim
the expanding foothold.
While Hodges famous LIST attained
the singular honor of becoming the
first military force to cross the
Rhine since 1918, the U. S. 9th and
British and Canadian armies to the
north and the U. S. 3rd army to the
south also drew up to the river in
record time, poised for the leap after
having cleared huge pockets of en-
envy troops to their rear.
Meanwhile, the Russians launched
a broad about assault on Berlin, with
Red infantrymen, paced by armored
columns, smashing deep into the en-
envy defenses west of the Oder.
Thus did the Allies breach the
Germans two river barriers guard
ing both ends of the Reich to carry
the battle into the fiatlands lying be-
yond, where the comparative level
ness afforded their armored columns
opportunity to wear down an enemy,
whose recent strategy had called for
extended use of terrain to economic
dwindling forces.

u. S. INVESTMENTS:
Foreign Holdings

American investments in foreign
countries totalled over IS billion
dollars in 1941 while foreign holdings
in the U. S. approximated 81s bill
lion dollars, the National Foreign
Trade council reported in an ex-
haustive analysis based upon treas
ury department testimony at recent
congressional hearings.
OF the American investments, al
most two-thirds were divided be-
tween Europe and Canada. Of the
billion in Europe, Ia billion were
in Germany, and over billion in
Britain.
Besides the 4 billion dollars in
Canada and Newfoundland, U. S. in
vestors put more than 11s billion in
South America and more than "
billion in Asia. Of the amount in
Asia, 40 million dollars were in the
Philippines, 165 million in China and
Manchuria and 80 million in Japan,
it was revealed.

Etiquette Poses
Difficult Problem

In diplomatic circles it has been
carefully explained that De Gaulle
could not accept an invitation from
a peregrinating president to call
upon him in French territory, which
it was explained was a sort Of
"come down and have picnic with
me in your backyard, I'm too busy
to call on you in your parlor."
To which American diplomatic
circles explained: it wasn't an in
vitation to De Gaulle to come to Al
giers, which is French territory, but
an invitation to call on the Presi-
dent aboard u. S. warship, which
is American territory.
Peut-etre, was the reply, but the
chief Of great power, indeed an
empire, cannot be expected to be
treated any better than the rulers
of such minor domains as Arabia,
Egypt or Ethiopia, royal-blooded
though they be. (Roosevelt enter
tanned the gentlemen earlier.)
There the discussion begged
down in mutual chagrin with all but
two of the leading French newspa-
pers Zone conservative and one
communist) insisting that De Gaulle
was right and the apologists for
Roosevelt explaining that the Presi-
dent could not undertake what prob
ably would have amounted to a
visit of state and a triumphal
tour of France, when he had war
to win. 1t was also recalled that one
thing Mr.. Roosevelt prides himself
on avoiding is making the mis-
takes Wilson did. Wilson received
wild ovation in France and Italy BE-
FORE the peace conference, and
suffered the results of most pain
full reaction afterward.
How great part Roosevelt's fail
ure to pay a visit to De Gaulle in
Paris played in motivating the gen.
erals refusal, or, if it were the chief
cause, how much was personal
pique on the part of De Gaulle and
how much a feeling that his nation
had been sighted, it is impossible

to say. My own impression gar
nered from conversations with
persons thoroughly familiar with the
French attitude is that difficulties"
were expected to arise in Franco
American relations the moment it
became clear that France was not
invited to participate in the coun-
sells of the Big Three. 1t was not
expected that the role her armies
are able to play would make her
eligible to join the military councils
at Yalta but the French were ardent
ly DESTROYS of having a place at the
general negotiations which made up
the second part of the parleys. Gen
eral De Gaulle was in no mood,
when he received the Presidents
invitation, to brook what he consid-
cred a further slight.
It was clear, on the other hand,
that the President felt he had sound,
practical reasons for emitting any
visit to Paris before the San Fran
cisco meeting. He also felt there
were sound, practical reasons for a
conversation with De Gaulle. He
said there were number of points
that had to be cleared up which re-
quired French action before the
United Nations meeting could be
held. Indeed, / imagine, he felt
that he was showing especial regard
to France when he offered to review
the accomplishments at Yalta per-
sonallv for De Gaulle.
