The maritime service boys In training at St. Petersburg, Fla., think
that Katy Turner has the laav of gravity licked when it comes to riding
the end of her aquaplaning board, as in this picture. 8he puts It on
edge at nearly a mile a minute off the Florida coast, where the service
men have taken up this form of sport.

Voice of America
EUROPE:
Press Through Mud
As American forces extended
their holdings about rubbled Aach'
en, and other Allied units pressed
against the reich through fall mush,
the U. S. and Britain laid down
regulations for strict military gov-
ernment of occupied German terrl
tory and Adolf Hitler called on eV'
ery able-bodied male between lfl
and 60—and "if need be, women
and girls’’—for guerrilla warfare
against the conquerors.
Focal point of fighting continued
around Aachen, where Doughboys
rooted out German defenders house
by house in the once proud, now
shattered, city of 165,000, and strong
enemy units assembled to the east
of the metropolis in an effort to pre-
vent the Americans from bursting
Into the vital Rhineland.
Action also flared on the Dutch
frontier to the north, where British
troops pressed toward the German
border below the pivotal Siegfried
bastion of Kleve, gateway to the
Industrial Ruhr valley. So bitter
was the fighting in this sector, that
desperate Nazis made every house
around the village of Venray a
stronghold, with hand-to-hand strug-
gles even carrying into the hallways
framed with miniatures of Dutch
masters.
Fighting was equally Intense on
the lower end of the 460-mile front,
where the U. S. Seventh army edged
up the foothills of the Vosges moun-
tains guarding the Bavarian border,
and lashed at approaches to the 25-
mile-wide Belfort Gap to the south.
PACIFIC:
Return to Philippines
Pursuing the tactics he employed
In the Solomons, New Britain and
New Guinea in separating enemy
forces, General Douglas MaoArthur
struck at Leyte island in the center
of the Philippines.
As the general’s grand strategy
shaped as the U. S. Sixth army, sup-
ported by the U. S. Third and Sev-
enth fleets and carrier planes, not
only were the Japanese on the main
island of Luzon in the north divided
from their uulfs on Mindanao to the
Brazilians Bound for Italy
With approximately 30,000,000
Americans living on farms, the
farmer’s vote is the most Important
mass vote in the country. Here a
poll reporter questions a New Jer-
sey farmer, who has plenty to say
about price controls, farm subsidies
and the election. Like the thousands
who are being polled by various
agencies in the country be votes for
the next President.

Strict Control
In extending military government
to occupied German territory, the
Allies demanded strict obedience to
regulations, and decreed death for

thorized possession of firearms or a

*By Every Bush!’
In calling up the guerrilla army
to operate behind Allied lines, Hitler
said:
"Just as in 1939 we are facing
the enemy alone. In a first enor-
mous effort of our German people's
strength, we succeeded then; Ger-
many's second all-out effort must
and will succeed. Relying on our
own force, we will not only break
the enemy’s will of destruction, but
we will throw him back again . . .’’
Addressing the reich from a bar-
racks in East Prussia, under siege
of Russian forces driving in from
the north, east and south, Home
Front Commander and Gestapo
Chief Himmler ordered the defense
»f Germany ". . . by every village,
every house, every farm, every
ditch, every forest and every
bush. ..
Massed Attacks
With the Russians attacking in
force in East Prussia, driving into
Czechoslovakia through the north-
ern Carpathian mountain passes and
battering enemy armored columns
on the Hungarian plains, the Ger-
mans were hard pressed to hold their
lines in the east.
Referring to the bitter fighting in
East Prussia, where the Reds were
employing upwards of COO tanks, the
Nazi radio exclaimed: . . The
country is enveloped in smoke and
belching (lames and above it hangs
the never ending din of battle. . . .”

south, but the Americans’ foothold
put them in position to threaten the
enemy’s supply lines farther to the
west carrying vital raw materials
from the Indies region up to the foe’s
home industries.
Under cover of an extensive air
umbrella and the big guns of the
U. S. warships, supplies were
poured ashore to the American
troops, who held a wide strip reach-
ing southward from the principal
port of Tacloban, and who girded for
a showdown fight with an estimated
225,000 Japanese in the Philippines
under Field Marshall Count Juichi
Terauchi.
General MacArthur’s Invasion of
the Philippines, fulfilling his pledge
to return after the Japanese con-
quest of the islands less than three
years ago, followed In the wake of
the Third fleet's continued aerial at-
tack on enemy shipping and aviation
units in the Formosa and Manila
regions, which prevented their free
dispatch to counter the big invasion
of Leyte.
The presence of substantial ele-
ments of the Third fleet in these wa-
ters, with warships as well as air-
craft carriers In full array, also
scared off the vaunted Japanese
navy’s Incursion Into the invasion
waters, the enemy turning tail be-
fore large-scale action could develop.
General MacArthur’s return to the
Philippines was personal, the com-
mander having directed the opera-
tion from a warship and then sef
up headquarters ashore.
FUEL:
Warm. Winter
Due to a combination of high pro-
duction of coal and efficient trans-
portation, U. S. homes will be well
warmed this winter, even though the
government continues to advise con-
servation to assure orderly con-
sumption to meet wartime needs.
With production having passed the
500,000,000 ton mark so far, soft-
coal output is running 25,000,000 tons
over last year. Not only are rail
deliveries moving up to snuff, but
careful planning has permitted the
transport of great quantities of coal
over the Great Lakes for distribu-
tion to adjacent territories.
How much foreign countries may
draw on U. S. coal supplies remains
undetermined, with British produc-
tion lagging and miners threatening
to strike for higher wages, and un-
certainty existing as to what ex-
tent output may be resumed ip lib-
erated nations to help meet solne of
their own needs.
Oil Output
Rich in coal, the U. S. Is equally
rich In petroleum, with oil produc-
tion estimated at approximately
5,500,000 barrels daily.
With Its western and coastal fields
alone yielding over 1,000,000 barrels
daily, Texas, with Its seven produc-
ing areas, leads the U. S. In output
with over 2,000,000 barrels. With al-
most 900,000 barrels dally, Califor-
nia runs second.
Other big producers with their ap-
proximate daily output Include Lou-
isiana with 360,000 barrels; Oklaho-
ma 340,000; Kansas 265,000; Illinois
200,000; New Mexico 100,000; Wy-
oming 98,000 and Arkansas 80,000.
With 50 barrels daily, Florida is at
the bottom of the list.
