FARM MACHINERY:
Output Lags
Despite an improvement over pre-
ceding months, output of farm ma-
chinery continued to lag In May,
with production 10.7 per cent behind
schedule.
Italy
The Allied advance up the Italian
peninsula continued, with the Ger-
mans offering spotty rear-guard re-
sistance as the main body of their
forces fell back to prepared defense
lines, guarding the rich industrial
and agricultural plains in the north.
In putting up stubborn rear-guard
action wherever the terrain was suit-
able for delaying tactics, the Nazis
reportedly aimed to kill as much
time as possible so as to prevent
the Allies from launching a major
attack against the new defense line
this summer.
In driving up the western coast of
Italy, the Allies came into posses-
sion of a number of ports, which can
be used for supplying their advanc-
ing armies from the sea, thus sav-
ing much laborious transshipment
over the mountainous terrain.

cerns the Russian form of repay-

While U. S. troops continued to

With the main Jap fleet having

the wounds incurred in its short
brush with U. S. forces, American
ships rode boldly at anchor in Magi-
cienne bay at Saipan, while the
ground troops slowly compressed

the northern sector of the island and
placed the capital of Garapan under
heavy fire.

1934 to meet possible losses is still

$10,000,000 appropriated in 1941 to
cover possible losses on war housing
programs is almost untouched. As
a result of the favorable operat-
ing record, insurance funds were in*
creased by $15,472,000 in 1943, the
money representing the difference
between income and operating ex-

The FHA has insured mortgage
loans to 1,055,000 small homes dur-

closures were necessary of this great
number. All but 26 of these fore-
closed propertTes have been sold.
Losses on these sales have been
more than compensated for by pre-1
payment premiums on mortgages'
paid in full before maturity, it was
reported.
About 6,000,000 other home-own-
ers have received some assistance
through combined FHA and private
