I NNOKT HAFRICA. July 13—i/P)
-Genet d Dwight D Eisenhower,
tbi Allied commander in chief,
returned today from a visit to
tic* United States and Canadian
forces on Sicily with the declara-
tion that the coordination of his
invading armies "could not have
been better had all the forces
been those of some single nation."
A former top-flight motion picture star, Melvyn Douglas (right)
is congratulated bv Cr>l. LeRov E. Nelson (leftb Commanding Of-
ficer at Camn Wallace, Texas after Douglas was sworn in at the
camp as a soecial services officer with the rank of Captain. Cap-

Padre of the Paramarines
monts between governments had
been approved by the Rio Janiero
convention of foreign ministers
and that such accords between
neighboring countries were par-

that tin* control and treatment of
disease would be intensified and
public works connected with san-
itation would be created or am-
plified. indicating the program
might be carried out in many parts j

THE WAR
TODAY
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
War Production Chief Donald
j Nelson "voice of doom" speech,
| hurled at the Axis from Toronto
just before the Allied invasion of
i Sicily, answers by indirection a
troublesome question which a
| reader of this column has sub-
mitted, namely, what concrete
evidence have we to substantiate i
claims that the German-Italian j
combine is short of resources and !
is on the down grade in produc- j
lion.
Well, there's much satisfac- (
tory evidence that the Axis is
cn the skids. I should say that
mere than l little support for
this is to be seen in the United
Nations' triumph in Tunisia and j
the present manner in which
they have invaded Sicily—one
of Mussolini's main strongholds.
We also have substantiation [
from Allied secret agents, from
captured documents, from admis-
sions by prisoners of war, from |
shrewd calculations by Allied ex-
perts. However, if you demand !
precise figures to show the de-
cline, it must be admitted that it
isn’t easy to find them.
Now along comes Mr. Nelson
and shows us in a few graphic
words that it doesn't matter hew
much the Axis is producing be- :
cause the United Nations are do-
ing so much more. We can
smother the enemy at their best.
Chairman Nelscn says that the
North American continent alone
will outproduce the Axis in mu-
nitions this year by nearly two
to one. All the United Nations
will make three times the Axis
output of arms, and next year
four times.
"These figures speak to the
world in a big voice," he declares
“and if the Nazi and Jap war-
lords are not completely insane,
they will recognize that the voice
is the voice of doom.”
And then in making a plea for
greater production, Nelson pro-
phesied: *
"You will shortly see gigantic
battles in which unheard of war
materials will be consumed.”
In the comparatively few hours
since that prediction was made the
first of these great battles has gut
under way. The test is begun.

CAIRO, July 13 i/F). — United
