The Red army’s drive to coincide with the Allied invasion of western
Europe has brought the Russians nearly 200 miles nearer to Berlin. The
map above shows how the Russians put the squeeze on strategic Minsk,
gateway to Warsaw and Berlin. All routes of escape, except dirt roads
through marshes and forests, fell into Russian hands.

Not far behind the Allied Fifth and Eighth armies who are pushing the
Germans out of Italy come the hundreds of refugee families who are tak-
ing the road back to their homes. This family is typical. Lacking trans-
portation, the family uses its man (and woman) power to haul its worldly
possessions on a farm cart.

suit of the manpower complications
resulting from the war, is the un-
loading of grain cars at wheat mar-
kets, with permits needed for ship-
ments from 11 points in the south-
west.
With no less than 22,000,000 bush-
els of wheat standing in Kansas,
Oklahoma and Texas because of the
unloading situation, it was predicted
that about six months would be re-
quired to move the crops from these
states and Colorado instead of the
usual 60 to 90 days.
Large crops and insufficient rail
cars were said to be contributing
factors to the terminal crisis, but,
except for bad weather, there is no
threat of grain spoiling in the fields.

now go on a full schedule again be-
cause of the new receipts.

BUSTLES: Something faintly re-
sembling the old-fashioned bustle
has made its appearance in the New
York fashion shows. It’s only a little
bulge, it’s true, sometimes in the
form of a stiff bow, sometimes a se-
ries of fishtail ruffles in the center
of the back, but it’s a legitimate de-
scendant of grandmother’s day. So
far it has only appeared on after-
nocn gowns and cocktail suits.

Basing their discussions on a pro-
gram drawn up by a U. S.-Mexican
commission created as an out-
growth . of President Roosevelt’s
visit with President Camacho in
1943, Hull and Padilla announced
that the two governments agreed to
" discourage trade barriers which
may. unduly interfere with the eco-
nomic development of Mexico and
trade between the two countries.”

FOURTH TERM:
F.D.R. killing
One week before the Democratic
national convention met in Chicago,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, looking cool
in his seersucker pants and white
shirt, but wriggling nervously, told
a gathering of 200 quiet newspaper-
men that if the people of the U. S.
decreed, he would be willing to
serve a fourth term as president.
With the country’s objective being
a speedy end to the war, a durable
peace and the creation of a prosper-
ous economy, F. D. R. said that he
would have to accept a fourth term
as a “good soldier” if the people
again called upon him to remain at
the helm of state.
F. D. R.’s announcement was
front page news the world over, with
both British and Russian papers
playing it up without comment. The
German radio disclaimed interest,
saying: "... One is convinced
here (in Berlin) that military and
political issues which are now at
stake are not to be influenced by this
or that President of the United
States.”

AGRICULTURE:
Bumper Crops
Overcoming machinery and man-
power difficulties, U. S. farmers are
expected to turn in bumper crops in
1944, the department of agriculture
reported, with the wheat harvest
anticipated at an all-time high of
1,128,000,000 bushels, 119,000,000
over the former top of 1915.
Prospects were reported good for
all grains, with the corn crop ex-
pected to approximate 2,980,000,000,
the fifth largest in U. S. history.
Although near record harvests were
predicted for hay, fruits, vege-
tables and soybeans, and a 20 per
cent increase in truck produce for
the fresh market is anticipated, the
department lgoks for smaller dry
beans and peas, peanuts and potato
crops.
Harvested acreage was set at

it may be caused by disorder of kid-
ney function that permits poisonous
waste to accumulate. For truly many
people feel tired, weak and miserable
when the kidneys fail to remove excess
acids and other waste matter from th*
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
rheumatic pains, headaches, dizziness,
getting up nights, leg pains, swelling.
Sometimes frequent and scanty urina-
tion with smarting and burning is an-
other sign that something is wrong with-,
the kidneys or bladder.
There should be no doubt that prompc
treatment is wiser than neglect. Use
Doan’s Pills. It is better to rely on a
medicine that has won countrywide ap-
proval than on something less favorably
known. Doan’s have been tried and test-

SECOND FRONT:
Hedgerow Battle
Beautiful in peace, treacherous in
war, the hedgerowed fields checker-
ing Normandy’s picturesque coun-
tryside were the scene of some of
the bitterest fighting of World War
II, with desperate Nazis using them
to conceal their rifles, machine guns
and artillery to impede the relent-
less advance of the American
doughboys.
Farther to the east, Gen. Bernard
L. Montgomery’s British and Cana-
dian forces girded for a large-scale
assault against strong concentra-

tions of German armor in the plains
below Caen, while enemy units con-
tinued to jab into their flanks to un-
settle their positions.
As the Allies edged forward in
northern France and received a con-
tinuing stream of reenfor,cements,
some allegedly direct from the
U. S., American and British avi-
ators were swooping down on Ger-
man communications lines in efforts
to disrupt the flow of enemy re-
serves and supplies to the flaming
front.
German Soil
No longer able to maneuver freely
on the vast spaces of Russia, and
with its back to its own homeland,
the German army on the northern
sectdr of the eastern front found it-
self confronted with the problem
of being forced to stand up and
fight or allow the Reds to carry the
war into their own country.
As the Russian army became the
first Allied force to approach the
threshold of Germany, bitter fight-
ing continued to rage before the
enemy’s “Gothic line” in northern
Italy, where the Nazis again took
advantage of the high mountain
country to slow up the Fifth and
Eighth armies advance to the rich
agricultural and industrial regions
beyond.
As the Germans fell back toward
their East Prussian border in the
north, German propagandists made
no bones about the critical situation,
declaring that the time had come
for the complete industrial and mili-
tary mobilization of every man in
the Reich capable of working or
bearing arms.
PACIFIC:
Spotlight Shifts
The spotlight in the ever widen-
ing Pacific warfare shifted back to
northern New Guinea, where 45,000
desperate Japanese sandwiched be-
tween U. S. beachheads all along the
coast, repeatedly attempted to break
through the iron ring being forged
around them.
In the islands farther to the north,
U. S. warships and planes con-
tinued to pepper the important step-
ping stones to the Japanese main-
land, with Guam below captured
Saipan the major target.
Despite the ferocity of their at-
tacks in New Guinea, the position
of the Japanese forces was hopeless,
with Yanks occupying large patches
all along the 600 miles of coastline
to their west, and other Allied forces
firmly entrenched to their east.

DRAFT:
Depends on War
Future induction of the over 30
group depends entirely upon the
course of the war, Selective Service
Director Lewis Hershey declared, in
discussing present draft policies
calling for the induction of all pos-
sible able-bodied men under 26, and
all men between 26 and 29 not neces-
sary to an essential industry.
In revealing that there were
1,217,000 4-Fs, selective service offi-
cials told a congressional subcom-
mittee that one-third of the U. S.
population was physically or men-
tally unfit, and recommended a pro-
gram of public clinics tied in-with
private doctors, to improve civilian
health.
In commenting on draft policies,
Hershey said that unless the mili-
tary situation should take unfore-
seen turns, maintenance of the size
of the present army would continue
to determine induction calls.
POPULATION:
Big Shifts
As a result of military and civilian
migrations in the U. S. between 1940
and 1943, the south and west gained
more than 4,000,000 inhabitants
while the north-central and north-
eastern states lost approximately
2,000,000.
Twenty per cent increases were
noted for Arizona, Florida, Nevada
and California, with the latter state
alone, with its great shipbuilding
and aircraft industries,* showing a
boost of 1,559,135.
Montana, North Dakota and South
Dakota lost more than 10 per cent
of their populations, but New York
showed the greatest numerical de-
crease, with 620,939.
TURKEYS
So that servicemen will be as-
sured of plenty of turkeys for
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Years, the War Food administration
has ordered that all birds produced
and marketed within 24 states and
parts of three others, shall be re-
served for army and navy purchas-
ing agents until the necessary quan-
tity is obtained. Last year supply
services bought 35,000,000 and it
is expected that this year they will
want even more to satisfy festive
doughboy appetites.
