Farm Income
U. S. farm income has continued
its rise in 1944, with the department
of agriculture now figuring. that the
total return for the year will run to
over 20% billion dollars for the na-
tion’s 6,000,000 operators.
The USDA’s estimates were based
on cash marketing and government
benefit income of 14%2 billion dol-
lars for the first nine months of
this year, a little less than a billion
dollars more than for the corre-
sponding period in 1943.
. Combined with steady debt reduc-
tion, wise utilization of the farm
plant without undue expansion and
the accumulation of large liquid re-
sources, the continued high income
further strengthened the farmers’
position for the uncertain postwar
period.
The new 30-caliber machine gun, used at Bougainville, is strapped on
the back of a GI. All that is necessary to put it into action is for the
Soldier to fall to the ground, hold still, and take the vibrations as this
rapid firing machine gun is busy mowing down the Axis forces. This meth-
od aids rapid maneuvers.

SAVINGS:
Well Heeled
What with total savings estimated
at $100,000,000,000, Americans should
find themselves able to meet a short
period of adversity in the postwar
world.
PACIFIC:
Hit Jap Heart
As U. S. troops punched forward
on Leyte island in the Philippines,
with a driving rainstorm slapping
them in the face, huge B-29 super-
fortresses blasted the great indus-
trial district in Tokyo feeding enemy
armies all along the far-flung Pacific
front.
Flying from newly established
bases in the recently conquered
Marianas, 1,500 miles to the south-
east, the B-29s took the first crack
at Tokyo since Lieutenant General
Doolittle’s carrier - based medium
bombers raided the Japanese capital
in the spring of 1942. Successful de-
velopment of the B-29 attacks would
imperil the major portion of enemy
industry, concentrated in the Tokyo
district.
Speaking of the operation, U. S.
air chieftain, General H. H. Arnold,
declared: “The battle for Japan has
been joined . . . (it) will be carried
on relentlessly . . . until the day of
land-sea invasion. . . .”

land, where they said the British
planned to drive around the anchor
of the Siegfried line at Kleve down
into the Ruhr valley.
Best description of the fighting
about Aachen was provided by this
Thanksgiving report from the battle-
front :
“For Lieutenant General Hodges’
1st and Lieutenant General Simp-
son’s 9th and the British 2nd
armies, knee-deep in mud in heavy
battles, this day at the approaches
to the Ruhr and Rhineland was
hard and bitter slugging, yard by
yard.”
German plan was to slow up the
big Allied drive by wearing down
U. S. and British strength, and to-
ward this end, the enemy launched
repeated counter-attacks with his
new King Tiger tanks.
As the Allied troops advanced,
they found Nazis in the forward de-
fense positions of inferior quality, :
the German plan apparently being '
to save their best for a last des- .
perate fight along the main line.
In the east, bad weather inter-
fered with the Russians drive upon
Budapest, and the broad Hungarian '
plains leading to the gateway to 1
Austria. i

MEAT:
1945 Prospects
More veal, about the same amount
of beef, but 15 per cent less pork—
that’s the meat prospect for 1945,
the War Food administration re-
vealed.
I The continued stringency in beef
will continue because 31 per cent of
the supply will go to the armed
forces, it was said.
Increased supplies of better
grade beef were in prospect for
domestic consumers, with re-
ports that midwestern farmers
were aggressive buyers of stock- l
ers for fattening, what with feed I
stocks at high levels. Much of
the beef on sale this year was of I
the utility type coming from
grass-fed range cattle.
Meanwhile, cattle slaughter re-
mained heavy during October, with
an all-time record of 1,450,572 beef
animals put on the block, along with
: 919,599 calves. The total of 4,223,255
hogs butchered was 1 per cent be-
, low the 5 year average.
Although enemy resistance on
Leyte continued stiff, U. S.
forces continued their encircling
advances, with General Mac-
Arthur stating that our superior
artillery and infantry firepower
was cutting deeply into Japanese
strength, which had been fever-
ishly reinforced in an effort to
hold up the Yank drive.
As a result of persistent U. S. at-
tacks, the enemy has been unable to
concentrate his forces on Leyte for
counter-attacks, General MacArthur
said, rather being compelled to
throw in his troops here and there
in an effort to check the U. S. of-
fensive.
STABILIZATION:
To Hold Prices, Wages
With living costs already estimat-
ed at 30 per cent above January,
1941, levels, OP Administrator Ches-
ter Bowles moved to check recent
small price increases, especially in
clothing and textiles.
Vigorous action to halt further
advances was seen as part of the
government’s indicated policy of re-
taining the disputed “Little Steel”
wage formula, under which pay
boosts have been kept within 15 per
cent of January, 1941, levels.
Because of the permissible 15 per
cent wage raises, plus large over-
time earnings, it has been felt that
workers’ weekly incomes have bal-
anced price increases. But with
further rises in living costs threat-
ening that balance, the government
was expected to press hard to main-
tain present price levels.
Although the National War La-
bor board’s recent findings that
living costs have gone up 30 per
cent since January, 1941, was
expected to bolster the CIO and
AFL’s campaign for wage in-
creases over the 15 per cent
limit of the “Little Steel” for-
mula, the government has shown
no inclination to give in to their
demands.
On the other hand, it has been
suggested, with the President’s fa-
vor, that as long as overtime earn-
ings are' being paid, current wage
rates be retained. With a trim-off
to the 40-hour week, however, it has
been proposed that wages be boost-
ed to allow workers to “take home”
the same average income as they
now do.
Under such a plan, workers would
get about a 30 per cent raise in pay,
thus assuring a continued high pur-
chasing power with a resultant stim-
ulation of employment.
As part of its program to main-
tain the present cost level, OPA
was expected to take a firmer stand
on manufacturers’ requests for high-
er prices.

Latest of the ivartime juvenile prob-
lems to plague authorities was a shop-
lifting spree among ’teen-aged “bobby-
sock” girls in Portland, Ore.
Carried on by girls stealing for per-
sonal use rather than resale, the spree
reached alarming proportions, with
losses so heavy in one big department
store that auditors first thought there
must have been a bookkeeping error in
the amount of merchandise originally
listed.
One 12-year-old was caught with $150
worth of sweaters, beads and bracelets.
A 17-year-old said she had stolen $700
worth of goods in seven months for her
sailor sweetheart.
Sobbed one tearful culprit: “I guess
it is stealing, only I didn’t think of it
that way. It was an adventure sort of.
The other girls were doing it.”

COTTON EXPORTS
With cotton exports down to an
average of 1,235,000 bales for the
four crop seasons from 1941 to 1944,
the trade looked to the recently in-
voked War Food administration
export subsidy program for pos-
sible increased shipments.
Estimates as to the amount that
might be sold under the WFA’s new
program varied, with the volume of
shipments depending upon the avail-
ability of cargo space, it was
agreed. Exports have been lowest
since the Civil war.
EUROPE:
Big Crack
First German lines to crumble
during the Allies’ big fall offensive
along a 460-mile front in the west
were on the southern end, where the
Nazi 19th army, under steady U. S.
and French pressure, was told to
abandon equipment, break into
small groups and beat it back, as
best it could, to the Reich border.
Indicative of the crack in the
enemy’s lines was the French 1st
army’s break through the Belfort
Gap, and its swing northward up
the Rhine in a maneuver designed
to trap some 70,000 Germans who
had been holding the Vosges moun-
tain passes to the west.
The rapid French dash was fol-
lowed by the U. S. 7th army’s smash
through the Saverne pass in the
Vosges 50 miles to the north, which !
had the effect of forming a nut-
cracker squeeze on enemy forces
caught between the two pincers.
Only enemy rearguards retarded
the U. S. and French maneuver, but
the Germans profited from the
murky weather, which prevented
the superior Allied air force from
rising in full strength to smash the
knots of Nazi troops beating their
way eastward to the Rhine.
In an effort to extricate the bulk
of his 19th army, Col. Gen. Johannes .

Of the huge amount of sav-
ings, $36,883,000,000 are in war
bonds, it was revealed. About
81,000,000 people, or 60 per cent
of the population, held these se-
curities in comparison with about
25 per cent in World War I.
Next to war bonds, bank and pos-
tal savings deposits constitute the
largest source of savings at over
$36,000,000,000. Of this amount, over
$34,000,000,000 were in bank deposits
held by about 33 per cent of the
people.
Life insurance forms the third
largest source of savings, what with
50 per cent of the people paying in
over $33,000,000,000 on their policies
it was revealed.
