British paratroopers in a C-47 transport plane as they started on
the journey which took them far behind the German lines in Holland
during the airborne invasion of the low country. They advanced about
30 miles in five hours after landing, met with strong opposition, includ-
ing a German trap, and were not able to contact their main lines.

This new type rocket ship opens the beach defenses as the first wave
prepares to go ashore during the invasion of Morotai island. Rockets
were released in showers as smoke billowed over the side to hide the
vessel. The effect was entirely satisfactory to naval operators and per-
mitted the marines to land without meeting serious opposition and
with few American casualties resulting.

little opposition was met on the part of civilians.

EUROPE:
‘Greatest Battles’
In what the Germans said was
"... the greatest battle of material
in the world’s history . . .” with
2,500,000 men facing each other on a
460-mile front, Allied forces moved
slowly on the Siegfried line against
stubborn enemy resistarice.
All along the curving battle-line
the Germans launched extensive
counterattacks, throwing in large
numbers of tanks to stem the Allied
drive on their all important indus-
trial belt along the Rhine.

my’s aggressiveness were Lieut.

For You To Feel Well
24 hours every day, 7 days every
week, never stopping, the kidneys filter
waste matter from the blood.
If more people were aware of how th®
kidneys must constantly remove sur-
plus fluid, excess acids and other waste
matter that cannot stay in the blood
without injury to health, there would
be better understanding of why the
whole system is upset when kidneys fail
to function properly.
Burning, scanty or too frequent urina-
tion sometimes warns that something
is wrong. You may suffer nagging back-
ache, headaches, dizziness, rheumatic
pains, getting up at nights, swelling.
Why not try Doan's Pills! You will
be using a medicine recommended the
country over. Doan’s stimulate the func-
tion of the kidneys and help them to
flush out poisonous waste from the
blood. They contain nothing harmful.
Get Doan's today. Use with confidence.
At all drug stores.

Do You Hate HOT FLASHES?
If you suffer from hot flashes, feel
weak, nervous, a bit blue at times—
all due to the functional “middle-
age" period peculiar to women—try
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound to relieve such symptoms.
Taken regularly—Pinkham’s Com-
pound helps build up resistance
against such annoying symptoms.
Pinkham’s Compound is made
especially for women—it helps na-
ture and that’s the kind of medi-
cine to buy! Follow label directions.

RADIO TUBES:
Small Surplus
With such scarce radio tubes as
the 12SA7 and 12A8 commanding as
much as $10 in black markets, army
release of 1,000,000 surplus tubes
for civilian use will tend to only
slightly ease the tight supply situ-
ation.
To be returned to manufacturers
for testing and packing before dis-
tribution to customers on an “equi-
table basis,” the 1,000,000 tubes will
not even approximate the produc-
tion of 1,754,000 in July, which met
only a fraction of the demand.
Because of the services’ extensive
use of radio equipment for com-
munications between units on the
fighting fronts, trade circles saw
little hope for increased civilian sup-
plies until Germany’s defeat per-
mitted a cutback in military orders.
FOOD STOCKS:
Orderly Disposal
With the War Food administra-
tion already feeding the govern-
ment’s excess stocks of food to civil-
ian outlets without disrupting the
markets, U. S. officials will make
every effort to maintain orderly dis-
posal of surpluses with the war’s
end, WFA distribution director Lee
Marshall said.
“We must maintain specified war
reserves no matter how favorable
the war may be going,” he said,
“but I, for one, don’t think it neces-
sary to build a separate stockpile of
the same foods for postwar relief
feeding.”
In disposing of surpluses, Marshall
said, salable goods would first be
offered to companies which furnished
the government with the products.
Others in the same business would
be given second choice.
WOMEN WORKERS
Tasting well the fruits of boom-
time employment, with many ad-
justing themselves to industry since
1941, seven out of ten women war
workers intend to stay at work after
hostilities cease, a survey by the
Northwestern National Life Insur-
ance company revealed.
Nearly two-thirds of the married
women and four-fifths of the single
women declared their intention to
remain in industry, the survey
showed. Only 19 per cent planner

PACIFIC:
Air power
Long is the reach of America’s
famed B-29 Superfortresses, which
have flown to the wars to hamstring
the flow of enemy supplies to his
widespread Asiatic front by striking
at principal Japanese industrial cen-
ters.
With recent improvements permit-
ting the carrying of heavier bomb
loads, no less than 100 of the B-29s
flew the equivalent of from Atlanta,
Ga. to the Arctic circle in attacking
manufacturing plants in Anshan,
Manchuria, second largest steel-
making center in the Japanese em-
pire.
, While the B-29s were on the wing,
other U. S. army and navy planes
struck at Jap positions along the
whole Pacific front in attempts to
soften the enemy against further ad'
vances.
Jap Resistance
With Japan possessing many stra-
tegic materials in the home islands
and Korea enabling her to increase
war production; with the country ca-
pable of putting 8,000,000 men in the
field, and with American supply
lines stretched, U. S. victory in the
Pacific may require from 1%2 to 2
years after Germany’s defeat, the
Office of War Information said.
To America’s advantage in press-
ing for victory, OWI said, was its
own tremendous war output, capa-
ble of turning out 8,000 planes a
month to Japan’s 1,500; the threat
to cut the enemy’s supply lines from
the Indies area and blockade the
homeland, and the overrunning of
his outer defenses which has brought
U. S. forces close to the inner ram-
parts.
Far from slaking the Japs’ fervor,
Germany’s fall might strengthen the
enemy’s determination to resist,
OWI said.
POSTWAR GERMANY:
Allied Plans
With Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau’s proposal for stripping
Germany of all of its manufactories
and reducing the country to an agri-
cultural basis rejected, Allied post-
war plans looked forward to the
malntenance of the Reich’s industrial
machine under close" supervision.
Challenging Morgenthau’s posi-
tion, Secretary of State Hull and
Secretary of War Stimson declared
that not only did Germany turn out
certain essential industrial products
for the rest of Europe, but that its
business also put it in the market to
purchase other countries’ goods.
In order to check German indus-
try’s war-making capacity, Allied
plans call for control over all strate-
gic materials, with possible elimina-
tion of factories adapted to arms
production.
BUTTER:
Tight Supply
With only 12,000,000 pounds of but-
ter in storage earmarked for civil-
ians and consumption on a day-to-
day basis, the point value on the
product was raised from 16 to 20
points per pound, OPA officials said.
Despite the government’s plans
for withdrawing from the butter
market in October until production
climbs in the spring, no immediate
relief in the tight supply was seen.
Said OPA Administrator Chester
Bowles: "... We civilians are go-
ing to have to get along with less
butter than formerly, at least during
the next 90 days or so. . . .”
Besides reserving 126,000,000
pounds of the present stocks of 138,-
000,000 pounds, the government has
been purchasing great quantities of
butter fat from producers for pow-
dered milk and other uses.
Cars
Thinking in terms of a utilization in
space and weight. Ford Motor company
officials are working on plans for large-
scale production of the lowest priced
automobile since Ford's model A.
Declaring that the vehicle would not be
of a miniature doodlebug type, Henry
Ford II declared: “Such a car would be
in addition to our regular line. IF hat it
will sell for, what it will look like, are
matters of conjecture at the moment. The
logical result . . . would be a better auto-
mobile for the American family.'* a sa

/on A lunging for the
Aa coal-laden Saar
basin beyond
Gen. Dempsey Metz and Nancy.
In Holland,
strong German counterattacks
were aimed at thwarting Gen-
eral Dempsey’s Tommies from
pressing past the northern an-
chor of the Siegfried line at
Kleve, and of throwing an arm
to the great water basin of the
Zuider Zee to the northwest to
cut off an estimated 200,000
Nazis still engaged in the lower
extremity of the country.
In addition to employing masses
of tanks against General Patton’s
men before the Saar, the enemy
also made good use of the hilly and
wooded terrain in the sector to re-
duce the valiant doughboys’ advances
to yards.
As the fighting raged to the north
and south, Lieut. Gen. Courtney
Hodges’ First American army
launched a heavy attack between
those two sectors east of Aachen,
fighting its way through thick woods
to draw up within 27 miles of the
great industrial center of Cologne.
Having smashed through the
upper reaches of the Germans’
PRICE CONTROL:
Must Stay—Byrnes
Until total victory is achieved in I
the Pacific, price and wage controls 3
must be maintained to prevent an
under supply of goods and overly ,
stuffed pocketbooks to set off a dan-
gerous inflationary cycle, War I
Mobilization Director James F. |
Byrnes declared.
Stating that figures of the bureau !
of labor statistics showed only an j
increase of 25 per cent since Janu-
ary, 1941, Byrnes said that farm in-
come rose 81 per cent and the aver-
age weekly pay of workers 51 per
cent during the same period.
“The stabilization program has
hurt neither the farmer nor the
worker,” Byrnes asserted. “The
white collar workers and the people
with small fixed incomes have fared
less well during the war, but the
only way to help them is to continue
to hold the line against inflation.”
Seek Higher Wages
Even while Byrnes spoke, organ-
ized labor pressed for revision of
the government’s stabilization pro-
gram, urging that the formula for
limiting wage increases to 15 per
cent over January, 1941, levels be
junked.
In appearing before the War Labor
board, CIO Chieftain Philip Murray
argued that public members of a
WLB panel had found living costs in-
creased almost 30 per cent since
January, 1941, rather than 25 per
cent as claimed by the bureau of
labor statistics.
Declaring that both labor and
management were entitled to a
quick settlement of the wage ques-
tion so as to be able to solve im-
mediate and reconversion problems.
AFL leaders joined the CIO in the
assault upon present wage stabili-
zation.

spite desperate German attempts
to stem their drive, the Allies
pushed on, with Lieut. Gen. Mark
Clark’s American Fifth army
threatening to close an escape
i route for stubborn enemy troops
ringed between it and the Brit-
ish Eighth army to the east.
As the remnants of Germany’s
Baltic armies pulled out of Latvia,
the spotlight on the eastern front
swung back to East Prussia in the
north and Hungary on the south,
where the Reds pushed offensives to
crack these anchors of the Nazis’
eastern front.
While the Germans could fall
back on swampy, wooded lake coun-
try in East Prussia to slow the Rus-
’ sian drive, they had no such advan-
tage in Hungary, where the Reds
pressed for the broad open plains to
the southeast of Budapest.
I Having landed on the western
coast of Jugoslavia, strong Allied
forces worked inland to cut off the
retreat of an estimated 200,000 Ger-
mans moving northward from the
lower Balkans.
LOANS DOWN
Index of economic conditions,
loans on life insurance policies out-
j standing in midyear approximated
i $2,100,000,000, lowest in 15 years.
! During the critical depression pe-
riod of 1932, loans reached $3,800,-
000,000, almost double present fig-
ures.
Offsetting a decline in civilian
mortality, increased deaths among
policy holders in military service re-
sulted in an 18 per cent rise in in-
surance benefits paid out so far this
year. ,
