WAGES:

With a special committee of the
National War Labor board finding
that living costs have risen about 30
per cent since January, 1941, or-
ganized labor's demand for an up-

strengthened.

These German civilians are being marched through Kunrade, Holland,
to work on Dutch roads. They were formerly German guards over
Dutch workers, who were forced to work for the Nazis. Now the Dutch do
the guarding and the ex-masters do the working. This is typical of the
Uberated countries of Europe.

Leyte in the Philippines remained
the focal point of U. S. ground fight-
ing in the Far East, with General
MacArthur’s forces continuing tc
press down on Japanese troops
squeezed into the northwestern por-
tion of the island, with encircling
attacks designed to nip off the en-
emy from the rear.
Slugging forward against stiffen-
ing enemy resistance well en-
trenched in the rugged Leyte jungle
country, Doughboys' difficulties were
accentuated by another sweeping
hurricane with its heavy downpours
washing out bridges and flooding
streams and highways.
In China, where Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-shek shook up his gov-
ernment to revitalize its war ef-
fort, Japanese forces numbering
250,000 met below Liuchow and thus
sealed off the entire eastern coast
of the country. The juncture gave
the inaugural—to make a decent liv- i
ing. . . . James Wechsler, the bril- 1

Roll on Mountains
Soviet armies sweeping westward
over Hungary’s broad plains near
Budapest approached a loosely-
linked chain of mountains angling
roughly 225 miles across the coun-

These mountains screen the gently

tending to the border of German-
annexed Austria known as the Kis-
Alfold or Little Hungarian Plain.
The mountains offer breaks

upward pay boosts with Ger-
many’s defeat to counter-bal-

Prospects for a revision of the
“Little Steel” formula met with
mixed reactions in the capital. Geor-

EUROPE:
Allied W eight
As the full weight of the Allied
. armies was brought to bear on the
western front, the once proud, now
harassed, German high command
was sorely pressed to shore up its
lines and prevent a break-through to
the vital industrial belts of the Reich.
Greatest battles of the mighty Al-
lied November offensive centered in
the Aachen area, gateway to both
the vital Ruhr and Rhineland val-
leys, and it was here that the Ger-
man chieftains concentrated the
bulk of their strength to meet the
full force of the U. S. 9th army’s
drive under Lieut. Gen. William
Hood Simpson, and the U. S. ist’s
push under Lieut. Gen. Courtney
Hodges.
With the Germans massing their
thinning strength in the Aachen
area, superior Al-
lied forces punched pea aah
through the south 632
ern end of the se 185122
The epidemic of suicides (who
have been "committing sidewalk”)
was stopped by a newspaper pho-
tographer. ... A woman frantically
telephoned a newspaper and said
that her girl friend (who lived
around the corner from the paper)
had just phoned that she was going
to jump from her window. . . .
“Please,” she urged, "do something
to stop her!” . . . The editor as-
signed a photographer to the scene.
