11-WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS-1
Western. Front Aflame as Nazis
Strive to Hold Allied Advance;
Congress Shapes Postwar Aid
■ ■ ROlonsaH ho «»«l.re TJ.e,.paper ttr.t,»
(EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinion* nr* expressed In these columns, they are those of
Western Newspaper Union’s nows analysts and not necessarily *1 this newspaper.)
Aa war cornea to their aoil, German civlliana pack belonginga and
move from battered viilacea in war tone to aafety.
EUROPE:
Battles Rage
In some of the bloodiest fighting
since D-Day, the whole western front
from Holland down to Switzerland
was aflame, with Allied forces slug
ging through stubborn enemy de
fenses and then holding their own
against German counter-attacks.
Especially bitter fighting occurred
on Lieut. Gen. George S. Patton’s
Third army front, where U. S. tanks
spearheaded a drive on Germany’s
famed coal and industrial Saar ba
sin, and the enemy lashed back with
strong armored forces. As Patton’s
men edged forward, the enemy fell
back on the rugged and wooded
slopes of the Vosges mountain^
where they were expected to make a
stand before retiring to the Siegfried
line to their rear.
Stiff German resistance and
repeated armored counter
attacks also slowed progress of
Lieut. Gen. Courtney Hodges’
First army to the north of Pat
ton's Third. In this sector, ene
my strength concentrated about
Trier and Stolberg In an effort
to throttle Hodges’ drives to the
great Rhineland industrial cities
of Cologne and Coblent.
In Holland, an estimated 100,000
Germans fought against entrapment
by Allied ground forces driving up
the eastern border of the country to
ward the Zuider Zee, and paratroop
ers dropped in their rear.
Effect of the Allies’ drive not only
was to threaten the pocketing of
these six divisions in western Hol
land, but also to put them into posi
tion to drive around the Siegfried
line ending to the south of this
sector and burst out into the Ruhr
valley.
Clawing through the battered
"Gothic line” under the cover
of the rolling barrage of their
massed artillery, Allied forces
looked out onto the rich Po val
ley in northern Italy, as German
armored formations sought to
stein their rolling advance in
this great agricultural and In
dustrial region.
Russ Break-Through
Heaviest fighting on the eastern
front centered in the north, where
the Germans claimed more than
600,000 Russian troops were attack
ing to clear out the Baltic states of
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Despite the Germans’ hard de
fense of their lines, built up in the
swampy lake country of Estonia and
Latvia, the Reds punched out size
able gains.
The old Polish capital of Warsaw
was a fiery inferno as the Reds
pumped shells into the German de
fenses of the city, and Red troops
surging across the Vistula river
came to grips with enemy units.
Armistice Terms
Calling on the nation to ", . . stick
to reality and try to build up . . .
existence with the opportunities that
are left to us,” Finnish Acting Prime
Minister Ernst von Born disclosed
Russian armistice terms to a heavy
hearted people.
Including restoration of the 1940
Russo - Finnish border; cession of
Petsamo to the Reds; leasing of the
Porkkala peninsula on the Gulf of
Finland for a Russian naval base,
and reparations payments of $300.
000,000, the armistice terms were
■described as “the hardest ... in
our history” by Von Born.
Restoration of the 1940 border
meant Finland's surrender of its
most highly developed industrial re
gion containing 10 per cent of its
population, and cession of Petsamo
meant the country's surrender of
rich nickel mines.
GAS TEST
Five hundred officers and en
listed men have been commended
by the chemical warfare service of
the army services forces for volun
tarily exposing themselves to lethal
gases in order to test a new anti
gas protective ointment.
As a result of the tests, during
which men entered gas-filled cham
bers and contaminated areas, medi
cal officers and research scientists
have conclusive evidence that the
M5 protective ointment will be ef
fective against gas warfare.

PACIFIC:
/Vo Pause
Even as U. S. marines and dough
boys cleaned up resistance in the
Palau islands, 600 miles east of the
Philippines, American airmen were
on the go softening up other enemy
strong-points.
Again the Philippines were the
principal targets. Hopping off from
New Guinea, army bombers blasted
the southern port of Davao, shuttle
point for enemy troops and supplies
in the area, and carrier planes op
erating In the Third fleet hammered
shipping, airfields and military in
stallations around Manila bay, nerve
center of the islands.
In striking the southern Palaus,
whose conquest placed U. S. forces
closer to the vital enemy water route
from the Irbies to Japan, American
troops encountered fanatical resist
ance, more than 7,000 Nipponese sol
diers out of a force of 10,500 fighting
to the death on the main island of
Peleliu.
FIGHTING SHIPS:
Allied Might
Recognized naval manual of the
world, the 1943-'44 edition of “Jane’s
Fighting Ships” noted the increasing
strength of Allied might on the high
seas and the continued decline of
Axis strength.
Indicative of the growing power
of the U. S. navy, “Jane’s” revealed
that it numbered 4,167 ships last
January, exclusive of thousands of
landing craft, with high watermarks
including the scheduled launching of
two new 45,000-ton battleships this
year, the development of a fleet of
100 aircraft carriers, and the con
struction of new 2,200-ton flotilla
leaders.
Referring to Axis naval strength,
"Jane’s” reported that disablement
of Germany’s Tirpitz and Gneisenau
removed its last big capital ships
from service, and despite the launch
ing of two new 45,000-ton battleships.
Japanese shipbuilding facilities were
running behind demands.
CONGRESS:
Charts Reconversion
With the fall elections rapidly ap
proaching and congressional leaders
pressed to assemble sufficient quor
ums, the house and senate made
preparations for handling the post
war economic crisis and then moved
toward a recess until November.
First bill to get an O.K. and be
sent up to the White House for the
President’s signature was the one
providing for a three-man adminis
trative board to supervise the dis
posal of an estimated 100 billion dol
lars of surplus war goods, with no
As the first major step to enable
the automobile industry to prepare
for peacetime manufacture, the 1Tar
Production Hoard authorized Chrys
ler, Ford and General Motors to per
mit technicians to plan correction of
weaknesses in 1942 models; bring
material specifications to date; map
plant layout, and design minor
changes in 1942 models. None of the
com/atnies are permitted to spend
more than S25.000 monthly for labor
or material in this work.
discrimination to be shown against
little business and sale of all war
plants over $5,000,000 subject to con
gressional approval.
The second bill passed called for
establishment of an office of re
conversion, which would coordinate
the work of all government agen
cies in the switch-back to peace
time conditions, and also authorized
the lending of funds to states if need
ed to meet unemployment compen
sation payments.
MISCELLANY
NELSON: Having concluded con
ferences in China looking toward the
reorganization of the rickety Chi
nese industrial machine, Donald Nel
son was scheduled to head for home
to work out America’s participation
in the project.
BULLETS: Army ordnance ex
perts have developed a new incendi
ary bullet capable of penetrating
self-sealing gas tanks.
GREAT BRITAIN:
Buildinn Needs
That rebuilding will provide the
base for Great Britain’s postwar
economy was indicated by the gov
ernment’s recent announcement that
1.250.000 workers would be needed in
the construction industry to repair
bomb damage.
Contributing to the tremendous
damage wrought by the war have
been the deadly German robots,
some of which have individually
wrecked as many as 1,500 houses,
with the average being 400. About
200.000 square yards of board, 500,
000 window frames and 400,000 doors
have been ordered to help repair
buildings damaged by the flying
bombs.
At the present time 380,000 peo
ple are engaged in the construction
industry, it was revealed, with many
thousands of these women.
Postwar Wages
That British labor will put up a
battle to retain its wartime wage in
creases In the postwar world was
indicated by the strike of 14,000 auto
workers in Birmingham, England,
over assignment of employees to the
assembly of a reputed peacetime
product at lower wages than those
being paid in the munitions depart
ment.
Under the stimulus of wartime
conditions, with manufacturers bid
ding for labor, British wages shot
up from about $15 a week to $25 for
men, and from about $6.50 weekly
to $13 for women.
Because of the competition be
tween themselves and foreign coun
tries, however, British industrialists
are expected to resist present high
wages unless production costs are
chopped through an increase in la
bor efficiency or greater use of ma
chinery.
AMERICAN LEGION:
Wants Strong V. S.
American cooperation with other
nations to keep the peace, forceful
occupation of Germany and Italy to
bring the lessons of war home to
their populations, and compulsory
military training for youth, were
among the resolutions adopted by
the American Legion at its 26th an
nual convention in Chicago.
Also advocated was retention of
necessary bases, maintenance of the

navy at full strength; preservation
of free enterprise within the U. S.;
stoppage of all immigration until un
employment should fall to around
1,000,000, and deportation of all sub
versive aliens to their native coun
tries.
Active in Legion affairs in his
home state, where he was credited
with bringing Legion membership
up to 85,000, Edward N. Scheiberling
of Albany, N. Y., was elected na
tional commander. Mrs. Charles B.
Gilbert of Norwich, Conn., mother of
two sons in service, was elected
president of the Legion Auxiliary.
RAIL TRAFFIC:
Safety Problem
Answering Sen. Burton K Wheel
er’s charges that railroads have
failed to heed congress’ direction for
the installation of safety equipment
which might prevent fatal train
wrecks, company officials declared
that many wartime accidents could
be attributed to inexperienced help.
Because human failings more often
than not have been shown to be the
cause of many accidents, a large
number of the roads have broad
educational programs, it was said.
In addition to a reliance on new
help and inability to obtain materi
als for safety devices because of pri
ority restrictions, rail officials said,
the vast increase in wartime freight
and passenger traffic has multiplied
the chances of mishaps.
Pointing out that congress em
powered the Interstate Commerce
commission to order the railroads to
install safety equipment 24 years
ago, Senator Wheeler said the gov
ernment may be compelled to force
such action if the ICC failed to press
for action.
STARS TO TOUR
Eleven active players and six
managerv will form five troupes of
major league baseball stars who will
visit front line battle areas to enter
tain troops under the auspices of
the U S. O camp shows.
Managers lined up to make the
trip include Mel Ott of the New
York Giants: Leo Durocher of the
Brooklyn Dodgers; Frank Frisch of
the Pittsburgh Pirates; Luke Sewell
of the St. Louis Browns and Steve
O’Neill of the Detroit Tigers.
i Farm Woodlands
Good Income Source
Most Wood Items
Can Be Homemade
Farmers make up one of the larg
est consumer groups for forest prod
ucts. Construction and maintenance
of farm buildings require 3% billion
board feet of lumber annually, with
another 2Vi billion going into boxes
and crates. In addition, pulpwood
requirements for cartons and bags,
plus wagon wood stock, wood for
farm machinery, and other uses take
still more lumber.
Specific uses of forest products on
farms include repair of farm build
ings, repair of farm implements
such as wagons, wood stock for
wagon tongues, eveners, wagons,
■MpykT — — ~«-_a«aasa*a
boxes, hayracks, tool handles, new
buildings to house expanded crop,
livestock and poultry production,
fence posts and gaies, and new
buildings for replacing losses caused
by tornadoes, fires and storms.
Marketing the fruit and vegetable
crops only in 1944 will require some
190 million new baskets and ham
pers, 450 million berry cups, 50 mil
lion wirebound veneer boxes, more
than 300 million nailed boxes and
crates, and large quantities of paper
and pulp products for wraps, liners,
pads, bags and cartons. Additional
containers will be necessary for
other farm crops.
Increasing farm woodland produc
tion will help in meeting such mar
keting needs which are essential to
the food production program, ac
cording to WFA, which reports that
the many veneer mills, basket and
crate factories, and pulp and paper
mills look to the farmer for a major
portion of their supplies of logs and
bolts.
Limestone Will
Save War Crops
It has been estimated that farm
ers in the United States, excluding
the arid and semi-arid areas
where the natural supply of lime is
adequate, could profitably use 35 to
40 million tons of ground limestone
or its equivalent every year. This
goal has never been approached.
The nearest that American farmers
have come to it was in 1942, when
it is estimated that they used almost
21.000. 000 tons. Of this, 18.971,000
tons, or about 90 per cent, was ap
plied under the AAA conservation
program. Owing to shortages of
labor and transportation it is esti
mated that the quantity used fell
of! to around 16,000,000 tons in 1943.
This year, it is hoped that at least
22.000. 000 tons will be available.
The active ingredient of super
phosphate is phosphorus, which gov
ernment soil scientists sa£ is the
element of fertility most often de
ficient in corn belt and other Ameri
can soils. While superphosphate,
like other commercial fertilizers,
has long been used on cropland, the
need for supplying it to hay and
pasture land has been less generally
recognized. Yet tests have shown
that seven 1,000-bushel carloads of
corn or oats take from the land as
much phosphorus as is in the plowed
surface of the average acre. Ten
13-ton carloads of mixed hay, or half
that quantity of alfalfa hay, carry
away as much phosphorus as seven
carloads of corn.
From the inception of the agricul
tural conservation program in 1936
through 1942, 4.049.000 tons of super
phosphate (in terms of 20 per cent
available phosphorus) had been
applied in the continental United
States under the AAA. Of this, 1,073.
000 tons were applied during 1942.
In 1936, the figure was 121.000 tons
The estimated United States pro
| duction of superphosphate, 20 per
cent basis, was 5.353.000 tons in 1942.
It increased about 20 per cent to
6,400.000 tons in 1943, and a further
increase may be obtained this year.
Agricultural Facts
One hundred and fifty thousand
farmers will be unable to contribute
food to the nation’s war effort next
year because it will take all their
I time and labor to raise food for rats.
