PRICE CONTROL:
Parity for Farmers
Under terms of the bill extending
the price control machinery of OPA
as passed by the House, processors
who fail to pay a parity price
for any farm commodity would be
allowed to charge only 90 per cent of
the OPA ceiling for the finished
article.
(Parity is a price calculated to
make farm purchasing power equal
to that prevailing from 1909 to 1914).
Farm leaders had the support of
the administration in putting
through the measure in this form
after the controversial cotton ceil-
ing adjustment provision had been
knocked out of the bill as passed
by the senate.
This cotton/ provision and the
parity issue were the main prob
lems between the house and senate
conferences.
Once in the President’s hands the
bill still faced the threat of a veto
because of amendment to it which
would throw all OPA regulations
open for legal tests in the regular
federal district courts.

THE INVASION:
Steady Progress
Supported by the greatest air
fleets in battle history, Allied forces
continued to expand their beachhead
area in Normandy in the face of
stiffening resistance on many fronts.
U. S. forces to the northeast of
Cherbourg surged past Montebourg,
which was still being contested, and
captured Quineville on the east
coast of the Cherbourg peninsula.
Hammering to the west across the
peninsula on a 10-mile front, the
Yanks met stiff resistance from
crack grenadiers of the fifth Ger-
man tank division thrown into the
Normandy fighting.
A communique from General Eis-
enhower’s headquarters said that
steady progress had been made w,est
of Carentan across the base of the
Cherbourg peninsula and between
the Elle and Vire rivers toward St.
Lo, key junction 15 miles southeast
of Carentan.
Battle Westward
All along a 10-mile front, units of
the American Fourth division and
the 29th Air-Borne division were bat-
tling westward against strong resist-
ance in a drive to pinch off the penin-
sula, and with it the prize port of
Cherbourg.
•Nazi Field Marshal Erwin Rom-
mel had thrown approximately 700
tanks into the fighting on the eastern
sector and appeared to be using
far more infantry than the German
command intended to use for the
defense of one comparatively small
section of the invasion coast.
Despite early successes on the in-
vasion front, a word of warning
came from Secretary of War Stim-
son who said that Allied troops in
Normandy soon must face fiercer
counter-blows “than any we have
ever met.” At the same time he
predicted they would smash ahead
until France is liberated and Ger-
many crushed.
While the troops on the Normandy
coast were fighting off the German
counter-attacks on land, residents of
England itself were dealt a serious
“anti-invasion blow” when a fan-
tastic stream of pilotless Nazi bomb-
ers rained fire and explosives across
the island. This was Hitler’s long-
awaited “secret weapon” and no
attempt was made by the British au-
thorities to minimize the effective-
ness of these robot, radio-controlled
bombing plane attacks.
CONVENTIONS:
In Chicago
As the advance guard of the Re-
publican party convention delegates
began arriving in Chicago, political
dopesters had all but awarded the
Presidential nomination to Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York, but
friends of Gov. John W. Bricker of
Ohio would not let their candidate
be counted out without a battle.
They said that the contest for the
nomination would go to the conven-
tion floor.
Bricker sources could not see a
first-ballot victory for Dewey. How-
ever, the New York governor en-
tered the convention with more dele-
gates actually pledged to him than
any other candidate, including Gov-
ernor Bricker.
Officials in charge of arrange-
ments for the Chicago meeting re-
vealed that the candidate selected
would probably make his acceptance
speech from the convention floor on
the day after his nomination.
Meanwhile the Democrats an-
nounced that Gov. Robert S. Kerr
of Oklahoma would keynote their
convention scheduled for July 19.
also in Chicago.

Jap base only 1,500 miles southeast
of Tokyo.
To wrest Saipan from the Japa-
nese, Americans had a job which
combined the worst factors of Ta-
rawa and Guadalcanal. For like at
Tarawa they had to land over a
well-defended coral reef and like on
Guadalcanal, the Jap had himself
well entrenched in good fortified po-
sitions which extended all the way
across that jungle island. When the
beachhead on Saipan was estab-
lished there was still a long way to
go but word from Adm. Chester W.
Nimitz’ headquarters indicated that
the Yanks were advancing.
Initial reports listed moderate cas-
ualties while the official bulletin re-
vealed that: “Virtually all heavy
coastal and anti-aircraft batteries on
the island were knocked out by naval
gun fire and bombing.’
While these no longer worried the
Americans, they knew their test

Super Raid
From secret bases in China, not
from an aircraft carrier this time,
American planes dealt Japan proper
a smashing air blow, when a squad-
ron of the new Super Flying For-
tresses bombed Japan’s homeland.
Tokyo radio said industrial areas of
Moji and Shimonoseki were hit.
Only a dribble of official news
came from American sources on the
raid but announcement of aerial task
force attack of the giant B-29’s in-
dicated that they flew from the Chi-
na-Burma-India theater land bases.
This raid also revealed the for-
mation of a new air force, the 20th,
which would serve the United Na-
tions cause as a roving, globe-cir-
cling task force much like a naval
fleet. This air arm will not confine
itself to attacks on Japan but is
“able to participate in combined op-
erations, or to be assigned to strike
wherever the need is greatest.”
Before any official announcement
of the targets was made by the
army, a report in congressional cir-
cles hinted that Tokyo itself was
one of the main objectives.
ITALY:
Allied Drive Continues
German defenses on a broad front
50 to 80 miles above Rome were
shattered when Allied Fifth and
Eighth army troops drove north in
a plunge which netted them hun-
dreds of prisoners.
German resistance had cracked
all the way from the Tyrrhenian sea
coast around the northern end of
Lake Bolsena and down to Temi,
70 miles east of the Allied advance
coastal columns.
The enemy was in full retreat
from the entire Adriatic sector.
Their retreat was so fast that
speedy Eighth army flying columns
were unable to contact Nazi rear
guards. Even fresh German re
inforcements, hastened from the
north to halt the Allied advance,
were routed after joining the Nazi
14th army in a furious three-day
battle.

\Jn Bond Drive
Treasury officials announced that
the first two days of the Fifth
War Loan drive, individual buyers
purchased almost a half-billion dol-
lars worth of bonds. Goal for indi-
vidual buying in this drive is six
billion dollars.
At the same time the treasury
translated bond purchases into
equipment various sums would pur-
chase for the army and navy. Bonds
bought now will pay for more and
better equipment than a year ago.
For example:
A heavy bomber, listed at $500,-
000 last year, is now available for
$250,000.
A fighter plane costs $50,000 as
compared to $150,000 a year ago.
SECOND SCANDAL:
At Pearl Harbor
A second Pearl Harbor scan-
dal, revealing neglect and delay ir
the army’s defense preparations
prior to the Japanese attack or
December 7, 1941, has been r&
ported to congress by a houst
subcommittee on military affairs.
Responsibility was pinned direct-
ly upon Col. Theodore Wyman Jr.,
district army engineer at Honolulu.
Hans Wilhelm Rohl, California con-
tractor, who sought naturalization in
1941, 28 years after coming to the
U. S. from Germany, was named
Colonel Wyman’s collabora-
tor. The report stated that Wyman
constantly discriminated in award-
ing $125,000,000 in contracts to
Rohl’s firm. Rohl was to have built
a permanent aircraft warning sys-
tem. The contract was let on Decem-
ber 7, 1940. Rohl was to complete
the job in six months. One year
later the job was only partially com-
pleted. The subcommittee reported
that the approach of Japanese
planes would have been detected if
the system had been operating.
Colonel Wyman and Rohl were
frequently companions on wild
drinking parties, the report stated.

Washington, D. C.
When the story of the present war
is written, the outstanding logistical
novelty—the feature which differs
most from the methods employed in
the movement of fighting units in
previous wars—will be the use of
airborne troops.
Already the airborne units have
been revealed as vital factors in
the invasion landings, where they
have been used on a scale which
dwarfs anything heretofore from the
first widely publicized Russian ex-
periments in 1930 to the German air
invasion of Crete or the remarkable
achievements of smaller units in
Burma.
Since it is taken for granted that
the United States is going to carry
the major burden in the later phases
of the invasion, it is a matter of
satisfaction to know that the idea of
transporting troops by plane was
first developed by the United States
army.
No one will be surprised that it
was that stormy petrel of aviation,
Gen. “Billy” Mitchell, whose wings
beat so futilely against the hide-
bound brasshats of his day, who is
credited with arranging the first
demonstration of troop transporta-
tion by air.
The report of his first fruitless
demonstration is buried so deep in
the war department files that I can
only quote from lay sources con-
cerning it. But it seems that in 1928
ten soldiers parachuted from a Mar-
tin bomber onto Kelly field in Texas.
With them went machine gun equip-
ment. All landed safely and in three
minutes after they hit the ground
the machine gun was assembled.
Officers who observed the “stunt”
(which is what it was then con-
sidered) were not impressed. That
is, the American officers. Some Rus
sians were present. They made
notes, and some two years later
their paratroopers were descending
to earth to the “ohs” and “ahs” of
American movie audiences.
Germany observed but went to
work in silence, with the results with
which we were made painfully
familiar from the days of the in-
vasion of foland on. But “Billy”
Mitchell’s idea slumbered in the
files and he did not live to see its
renascence here four years ago.
Nazi Refinements
These facts have been forgotten
by most people who probably think
that the Rusian experiments were
the first. The Germans picked up
and improved the Russians’ tech-
nique, working out their paratroop
plans as a part of the developments
of their then peerless Luftwaffe,
whose threatening shadow moulded
European diplomacy before the out-
break of the war.
The German paratroopers demon-
strated their real value in the blitz
against the low countries.
It was not until April of 1940 that
the United States troop carrier com-
mand, which carries troops in trans-
ports and gliders, was organized.
Now it is larger than the whole of
our air force of three years ago.
The airborne force, created a few
weeks earlier, is now numbered in
entire divisions, as we know from
German reports, and includes tens
of thousands of fighting men and
technical personnel.
The British paratroopers were
used effectively as far back as 1942
and they made the first contact with
German troops in North Africa in
November of the same year.
The U. S. airborne forces are
made up of both paratroop and
glider forces. They are separate
from the troop carrier command
which transports them, just as the
foot soldier is distinct from the sea-
man who carries him from shore
to shore.
The paratroopers (a part of the
airborne forces) alone serve fre-
quently as aerial commandos, seiz-
ing enemy airports of suitable ter-
rain where the t-roop transports or
glider planes cannot yet land.
The Paratroopers
When operations require large
numbers of men and more compli-
cated equipment, such as those per-
formed back of the shore defenses
and even much farther inland in
France, paratroopers are supple-
mented by the troops landed from
transports and gliders. This fre-
quently means that the paratrooper
FACTORY WAGES: In April earn
ings of factory workers on an hourly
basis reached a new high at $1,057
per hour, the National Industrial
conference reports. Because of a
shorter work week however, total
earnings were somewhat lower, be-
ing $48.08 on the national average,
down .7 per cent from March. Av-
erage work week was 45.2 hours in
Aoril.
HOUSEHOLD GOODS:
More than 12,000,000 families
would like to buy alarm clocks, a
survey conducted by the census bu-
reau for the War Production board
during April indicates. The study
was made among 4,500 representa-
tive families to guide the WPB.
The survey covered demand for
56 household articles. It showed
that the percentage of “satisfied buy-
er demand” ranged from 98 per cent
for sewing thread down to 5 per cen1
for wash boilers and lawn mowers.
must capture or prepare air strips
for this purpose.
Allied airborne troops were used
effectively at the landing in Sicily,
where General Montgomery said
they shortened the campaign by at
least a week. They also proved of
great value in New Guinea.
The full extent of their per-
formance in the invasion of Europe
has yet to be revealed but we have
General Eisenhower’s own word as
to their value and his praise has
been unstinted.
The chief function of the soldier
of the air until recently has been
the destruction of enemy communi
cations and installations such as
ammunition and supply dumps,
dynamiting bridges and wrecking
railway junctions behind the lines
Now they are prepared to engage
the enemy in large-scale operations
which reached major proportions
for the first time in France. Pre-
ceding the Normandy landings, one
of their jobs was to prevent de
struction of certain points like
bridges and other installations
which the troops advancing' from the
beachhead wanted to make use of
later. In this case, they had to take
the bridges from the enemy defend-
ers and then hold them against
counter attacks of the local re
serves, armed with tanks and field
artillery, until their own advancing
ground troops or air reinforcements
arrived.
Such action is possible because
jeeps, one-ton trailers, howitzers,
heavy and light calibre machine
guns, mortars, mines, and other
equipment including food, medical
supplies, water, and of course am
munition, can be transported by the
troop carrier command. The troops
have food and ammunition suffi
cient for about three days suste-
nance without replenishment.
The pilots of the troop carriers
are trained under most difficult
conditions and must have an extra
share of courage and intelligence.
They fly slowly and about their only
escape from the speedy fighters is
to skim the hilltops, dodge the hay-
stacks, keep as low as possible in
valleys or between obstacles like
trees and buildings which serve as
protection.
Glider Pilot’s Job
Although the glider pilot has no
engine to worry about, he must
know meteorology, navigation,
aerial reconnaissance, photography,
maintenance and radio communica-
tion. He must learn to land quickly
and near trees or other obstacles
where the troops can take cover;
one means of making a quick land-
ing is purposely to snag a wing on
a tree trunk or the bottom of the
plane on rocks. The men inside are
protected by a steel framework.
And then when the pilot lands, all
he has to do is fight his way back
to his own lines with the rest of his
one-time passengers. Like them, he
has to know all the commando
knows.
Some of the tales which have al-
ready gone into the growing saga of
the airborne forces are marvelous.
One is told of an adventure which
took place early in the invasion of
France.
A glider, its towline cut, was sud-
denly left in the dark of the moon,
Some light is necessary for a land-
ing, of course. In the period when
the moon was clouded, there was
nothing for the pilot to do but to
keep on descending. He did and
landed unexpectedly but on very
smooth terrain. The troopers quick-
ly debouched and sought cover as
they are trained to do. But there
was no cover. They found they were
on the wide, flat roof of a building.
They found an entrance through
the roof and cautiously crept down
the stairs. To their surprise, they
discovered they were in a building
full of German soldiers and which
housed the German headquarters
for that area. But the Americans
were armed, and needless to say
the Germans were somewhat sur-
prised. They surrendered without
much trouble.
However, it is not always as easy
as that and since it is an axiom of
military history that for every new
arm of offense, an arm of defense
is developed, we may expect fresh
obstacles to be created which these
youngest sons of Mars will have to
meet as they grow older.
