ITALY:
Rome Is Goal
Salerno's beaches won, American
and British troops turned to the
northward, with Rome their imme-
diate goal.
Having failed to throw the Allies
back into the sea at Salerno, Gen.
Albert Kesselring's German forces
withdrew toward the Naples area,
where they were expected to put
up another stiff rearguard action
in the mountainous terrain.
After sharp, brief attacks on Al-
lied shipping at Salerno, German
aircraft disappeared from the skies,
and American and British bombers
roamed over Italy at will. Seeking
to halt the flow of German re-en-
forcements to the south, Allied
planes ripped railroads and high-
ways.

Nazis' destruction of the city, indi

that might be of use to occupying
Allied forces.
Flanking the Italian mainland,

fell to Allied troops. In Corsica,
Italian soldiers joined with "Free
French” units in fighting to oust
Nazi elements.
RUSSIA:
New Lines
With the Dnieper river in sight,
the end of a long German retreat
along the whole central and southern
front in Russia neared. It is along
the entire 750 miles of the broad,
winding river that the Nazis evident-
ly intend to make a final stand in
Russia. Should the Germans fail to
nold the Dnieper line, they would
oe compelled to fall back into Eu-
rope itself.
In the north, the Russians drove
past Smolensk, threatening the
Nazis' communications with Fin-
land, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
In this sector, the Reds were only
115 miles from the old Polish border.
Only in the extreme south did the
Germans hold the Russians at long
arm's length from the Dnieper. Evi-
dently, the Nazis were bitterly re-
sisting in the area so as to allow the
sscape of many German troops in
Ihe Crimean peninsula, which con-
nects with the Russian mainland in
.his section.
Generals Form Union
Calling upon Germany to over-
ihrow Hitler and establish a govern-
ment having the confidence of the
people and the strength to bring
about peace, 100 former Nazi gen-
erals and other officers hooked up
with the "Free German” group or-
ganized by Russia.
Captured at Stalingrad, the for-
mer Nazi commanders appealed to
Germany to . . end the sense-
less, futile war” which "might any
day cause a national catastrophe.”
Germany today faces a worse isola-
tion than in 1918, they contended.
Addition of the former Nazi mili-
tarists to the "Free German” com-
mittee undoubtedly was for the as-
surance of order it might promise
in case of Germany’s internal col-
lapse. Russia's creation of the
"Free German” committee has been
seen os a move to Incorporate the
always potentially strong German
nation into Its own European order,
independent of Anglo-American plan-
ning.
ALLIED CHIEF:
Marshall Named
Congress was working itself Into
a pother over rumors of Gen. George
C. Marshall's re-
moval as Ameri-
can chief of staff
when it was re-
ported that he has
been named com-
mander- in- chief
of all Americnn-
Britlsh forces
throughout the
world.
According to
the rumors that
threw Washington
into ferment, Gen. George
Marshall had C. Marshall
clashed with Brit-
ish military authorities over the
opening of a second front in Europe.
Report of his appointment as com-
mander-in-chief of all Allied forces
with control over the British army,
however, seemed to spike the ru-
mors. As American chief of staff,
General Marshall was in charge of
all army planning, of operations and
supply, and his new' post undoubted
ly was to carry the same responsi-
bilities.
Against Island Hopping
Even as air-borne Australian
troops landed in northeastern New
Guinea in another daring move to
cut off the Japanese from supply
bases, Gen. Douglas MacArthur re-
emphasized the pattern of his stra-
tegic battle-plans in the Southwest
Pacific.
Assailing the principle of "island
hopping”—that is, taking one island
after the other—General MacArthur
declared: "Key points must, of
course, be taken, but a wise choice
of such will obviate the need for
storming the mass of islands now in
enemy possession . . . (which) is
not my idea of how to end the war
as soon and as cheaply as possible.”
Replying to talk he would be
shelved, Gen. MacArthur said: "I
have no personal military ambitions
whatsoever, and am perfectly con-
tent in such role as may be pre-
scribed for me."
MANPOWER:
War Needs
Testifying before the senate mili-
tary affairs committee on the ques-
tion of drafting dads, Gen. George
C. Marshall and Adm. Ernest J.
King declared they were Interested
only In meeting the services’ quota
for 1,200,000 men by the end of the
year.
According to the war manpower
commission, 446,000 fathers will
have to be inducted if the services’
demands are to be met. Marshall
and King left the problem of raising
the men up to the WMC, but warned
against lowering physical standards
in reclassifying 4-F's, or of taking
childless married men over 38.
In leading the fight against imme-
diate induction of fathers, Senator
Burton K. Wheeler sought to estab-
lish that production was exceeding
requirements in certain lines, result-
ing in a waste of manpower which
could be used to better advantage
in other industries behind schedule.
Wheeler also sought to probe claims
that certain employers were over-
staffing their concerns and raising
costs to assure larger profits on con-
tracts.
Distribute Production
While congress stewed over the
whole manpower question, Chair-
man Donald Nelson
of the war produc-
tion board issued a
directive ordering all
war agencies not to
^$^■1 place contracts in
arcas where labor
shortages exist if
■ *«■ thcy can lje filled
elsewhere.
In this connection,
the WPB also dc-
clared that war con-
Donald Nelson tracts should be ne-
gotiated, with small-
er firms being paid premiums to
meet higher production costs, so that
full use may be made of all manu-
facturing facilities.
In connection with curtailing em-
plbyment in industries whose pro-
duction exceeds needs, WPB an-
nounced that hereafter such employ-
ment would be cut in communities
where there was a scarcity of labor
in other essential lines.
POST-WAR PEACE:
Vote to Cooperate
The question of nationalism and
internationalism came to the front
In the house of representatives and
both sides came off with honors
even.
With congress’ adoption of the Fill-
bright resolution, the international-
ists won a point through the meas-
ure’s provision calling for America's
co-operation in joining with other
nations in preserving world pence
by any seemingly proper means.
On the other hand, the national-
ists won a point, too, through the
resolution's stipulation that congress
must approve any plan for such
American co-operation.
The bill went to the senate, where
it faced strong opposition on the
grounds that the house was trying to
cut in on the senate's constitutional
privilege of advising and consent-
ing to foreign treaties.
WHEAT:
CCC Rations Stocks
Tightening of transportation is
complicating the Commodity Credit
corporation's distribution of Its
wheat stocks for feed. The same
difficulty has interfered with the
CCC’s program for purchasing 15
million bushels of Canadian wheat
weekly.
Because of the difficulties encoun-
tered, CCC has rationed wheat to
buyers, with big operators formerly
ordering 165,000 bushels being cut to
50,000.
As of September 11, the CCC re-
ported, 57,483,457 bushels of new
wheat were held in loan, compared
with 144,038.388 at the same time
last year- Some 1942 wheat also is
being held in loan. CCC efforts to
call these loans to replenish its
stocks, however, probably would re-
sult in farmers offering the grain
on the open market for sale above
the loan price.

FARM AWARD: Farmers who
have achieved “exceptional" pro-
duction records will be recognized
by an "Agricultural Achievement
award” to be presented by the War
Foods administration to some farm-
er in each county. There is also an
award for processors. State agri-
cultural war boards are asked to
make nominations.
U. S. NAVY:
Greatest in History
With 613 warships and 18,269
planes, the U. S. navy ranks as the
greatest in world history. Since 1940,
333 combatant vessels and 15,567
planes of all types have been added
a multi-billion dollar construction
program.
In addition to the warships, Sec-
retary of the Navy Frank Knox dis-
closed that 1,274 mine and patrol
craft have been built, along with 12,-
964 landing vessels and numerous
other smaller boats.
Since the outbreak of war, the
S. has lost 1 battleship, 4 air-
craft carriers, 9 cruisers, 32 destroy-
ers and 12 submarines, or a total of
warships.
FARM:
Manpower Wastage
Approximately 1,300,000 farm fam-
ilies are prevented from producing
at their maximum because of a lack
of financing, James G. Patton, presi-
dent of the National Farmers union,
declared.
Because they cannot get the credit
for purchase of equipment and other
facilities, Patton said, these families
are producing below their level and
thus wasting badly needed manpow-
er. To help them increase produc-
tion, Patton suggested creation of a
billion dollar loan program.
Another source of manpower wast-
age, Patton said, was the freezing
of farm labor in most of the nation’s
3,000 counties. Under provisions of
public law 45, Patton pointed out,
federal funds for recruiting and
transporting farm labor from one
area to another are advanced only
on approval of the county agent.
POST-WAR:
Spending Seen
Sixty-four per cent of the people
interviewed by the U. S. Chamber
of Commerce plan to buy one or
more major articles in the six
months following the end of the war.
During this period, they intend to
spend three billion dollars on auto-
mobiles: over one billion dollars on
household appliances, chiefly radios
and kitchen mixers; over 700 million
dollars on household furnishings, and
seven billion dollars on new homes.

a “Leatherneck," it has nothing to
do with the epidermis of his neck.
Years ago the Marine uniform was
equipped with a high stiff leather
collar. From that time on, "Leath-

Marine. The word for his favorite
cigarette is “Camel”—the favorite
cigarette also of men in the Army,
