G.I.s Long for Civvies

Discharged GI.s are so anxious
to get back into civilian clothes,
survey of the Northwestern National
Life Insurance company showed,
that they want alterations on their
new suits "done in the next ten min
utes"; they shun cheap clothing and
buy good quality suits-averaging
about $45 in price; they don't shop
around, but go to one store and buy
as nearly complete outfit as the
store can supply; they usually pay
cash, even when they could charge
it," and they seldom shop alone.
Most returning servicemen like
fairly lively patterns; when they buy
dark blue, it is likely to indicate
wedding plans. Brown is favorite,
but nothing approaching the army
olive drab shade, thank you. The
younger veterans have generally
gotten too husky to wear the suits
they left at home when they donned
service uniforms. The older ones
commonly say they gave their suits
to younger brothers, cousins, and
sometimes to father upon enlisting.
So it's a fresh start from scratch
for most of them. And speaking of
a start from scratch, they're gen.

PACIFIC:
Mighty Strike

To Tokyo's 5000, 900 terrified resi-
dents, it was as if the whole host Of
demons themselves had swooped
from the skies; to American aviators
and sailors, it offered the supreme
satisfaction of slapping vicious en-
envy in his own backyard, and to mil
lions of people at home, it represent
ed the opening of the battle for Japan
itself.
Thus shaped Vice Adm. Marc A.
Mitscher's mighty strike against

and Avenger planes taking off from

screen Of fast battleships, cruisers

strong opposition, the aircraft shot
up enemy planes, cratered airdromes
and pulverized other military install
lations around the Jap capital.
While the major attack roared on,
with the once Wanted, since bat

challenge Mitscher's force riding 800

WAR COSTS:
200 Billion a Year

With this war costing the world
some 5000 billions year, or more
than $500 millions day, in direct
military expenditures alone, the an
nual expenditure is roughly equal
to the whole direct cost of the First
World war, estimated at 5000 bill
lions by the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace.
Staggering though these figures
are, they do not include indirect
costs of war, such as the value of
human life lost, property destruc-
ton, etc.
Direct expenditures of the United
States in this war are the greatest of
the belligerents at $50 billions for
the 1944-45 fiscal year, or somewhere
near half the overall total. For the
same period, British war expendi-
lures are listed at $40 billions at the
current rate of exchange; Canadian
at $41s billions, and the Australian
at the equivalent of $27a billions.
Latest Nazi expenditures can be
conservatively estimated at $50 bill
lions year and recent newspaper
dispatch put the Japanese mill
tary budget at about SIS billions.
