EUROPE:
Normandy Drive
U. S. and British troops threw
their full weight at both ends of the
German lines in Normandy in their
effort to develop a full-scale drive
into the French interior.
On the Russian front to the east,
powerful Red forces continued their
steady advance on the northern
front, threatening the Germans’ po-
sitions in the Baltic states. East
Prussia and old Poland.
In Normandy, U. S. troops at-
tacked at the base of the Cherbourg
peninsula on the west end of the
front, while British forces exerted
pressure on the Nazis’ defense pivot
of Caen on the eastern sector. With
both sides increasing the scale of
their attacks, more and more troops
were being pressed into the battles.
One Nazi stronghold after the oth-
er fell into Russian hands as the
Reds moved westward over the an-
cient invasion route to Germany,
with the bulk of the enemy manag-
ing to detach themselves and avoid
complete encirclement and annihila-
tion.

Italy
Falling back under the heavy
pressure of the U. S. Filth and the
British Eighth armies, the Nazis con-
tinued their retreat to their new de-
fense line in northern Italy, guard-
ing the rich industrial and agricul-
tural plains about the Po valley.
As order was restored in the Rome
area, it was announced that $30,000,-
000 of U. S. investments in the re-
gion had been assessed and inven-
toried. and some already had re-
sumed operations with profit. Among
U. S. enterprises are American Ex-
press, Otis Elevator, International
Business Machines, Eastman Kodak,
General Electric, Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer, Paramount, Warner Broth-
ers. Singer Sewing Machine. Nation-
al Radiator and Helena Ruben-
stein's.
As the Nazis fell back in the north,
they not only took advantage of the
rugged terrain for defense, but also
converted every small village into a
fortress, requiring detailed firing
power to reduce.
ROBOTS:
Attacks Irksome
Although German reports that
their self-propelled robot bombs
have left south England and London
in a sea of flames have beer, dis-
counted, Prime Minister Winston
Churchill was scheduled to mount
the platform in parliament to dis-
cuss the critical situation caused by
the new weapon.
Presumably launched from ramps
from the French coast, and power
driven by fuel and compressed air
and automatically piloted by three
gyro-compasses, the robots have fal-
len blindly on residential and other
districts, causing material damage
arid casualties.
Surprised at first by the flying ro-
bots. the British quickly coordinated
their anti-aircraft and fighter plane
defenses to combat the missiles,
which zoom at 300 or more miles per
I hour at low altitudes and suddenly
slant off on a 30-degree angle to
plummet to earth, exploding with
the force of a 1.000-pound bomb.
Declaring that Hitler’s regime
would have lost a good share of its
standing with its own people had the
Germans failed to retaliate for Al-
lied raids, an authoritative Nazi pub-
lication said that the robot attacks
had bolstered the morale of the
heme front.
PACIFIC:
No Rest for Wicked
On land and sea, U. S. forces
harassed Japanese forces commit-
ted to a defense of the enemy’s in-
ner ring of island fortifications
guarding the high road to its "Great-
er East Asia’’ sphere.
Most jolting of all attacks to the
Japs, was the U. S. advance upon
Saipan island in the Marianas, ap-
proximately 1,500 miles from Tokyo,
and the fall of the administration
center of Garapan, with the rem-
nants of 20,000 enemy troops pressed
back into a narrow corner of the
isle.
As U. S. forces moved forward on
Saipan, other Doughboys under com-
mand of Gen. Douglas MacArthur
invaded Noemfoor island off of
Dutch New Guinea, one of the step-
ping-stones to the Philippines to the
northwest and the East Indies to the
southwest. Dropped from the skies
from huge transport planes, para-
troopers joined amphibious forces in
their tank-led drives to secure air-
fields on the embattled island.
On sea, U. S. naval forces prowl-
ing in far eastern waters shelled the
strategic Bonin islands, some 700
miles from Tokyo, inflicting heavy
damage on four destroyers and a
cargo ship.
TEXTILES:
Prices Up
Complying with provisions of the
new price control act directing that
costs of major tex-
tile items be re-
vised to reflect par-
ity on cotton. OPA
Administrator Ches-
ter Bowles ordered
an increase on
about one-third of
such goods.
Although Bowles
estimated that the
average increase to
mills would amount Chester Bowles
to about $150,000,000
a year, he said that it wouK.be diffi
cult to determine consumers’ costs
until OPA worked out ceilings for
converters, cutters, wholesalers and
retailers.
Cotton goods affected by the new
order include denims, sheets and pil-
low cases, most combed yarn fab-
rics. knit cotton heavyweight under-
wear. some cliambrays and most
combed and carded cotton yarns.
In accordance with another provi-
sion of the new act, retailers would
be able to carry higher priced lines
than they did before the outbreak of
war.
THE CEUNA RECORD
SHOES:
Supply Tight
Because of the army’s increased
use of leather in the new combat
boot and announcement of the need
of 200,000.000 pairs of shoes for lend-
lease, there is little prospect of an
easing in shoe rationing.
Recent government releases oi
rubber and plastic scrap for soles
and an increase in production facili-
ties for their manufacture, however,
reflects the improved condition in
output of non-rationed shoes, which
totaled over 25,000,000 pairs in the
first four months of 1944, away above
the 5,000.000 made during the same
period last year.
The expanding leather supply due
to increased cattle slaughter offers
some possibility for more non-ra-
tioned shoes toward the end of the
year, but demand is expected to far
outstrip stocks. Leather imports
continue below normal.
MINERS:
Buck Lewis
Once one of John L. Lewis’
staunchest boosters while president
of the Illinois district of the United
Mine Workers, Ray Edmundson
now is rallying support for his fight
against alleged union domination by
appointed officials.
Although Edmundson claimed that
21 out of 31 UMW districts repre-
senting 75 per cent of the union
membership do not elect their prin-
cipal officers, and that his support-
ers represented the consensus of
thinking of the miners, his move-
ment attracted only 80 delegates
from 14 districts to a meeting in
Cincinnati.
Purpose of the meeting was to de-
velop a program for district self-rule
for presentation to the UMW’s con-
vention in the same city September
12, when Edmundson himself will
be a candidate for UMW chieftain
against Lewis.

FDItems and G-Maneuvers
In the gangster film about Roger
Touhy and his gang the producers
lost a few good tricks which appar-
ently the gov’t agents didn't tell
them about—after Touhy and his
mob were recaptured. . . . Frix-
ample: When the FBI went into the
rooms of two of the gang—they
didn’t notice a match stuck at the
top of the door. ... To let the
gang know if anyone entered during
their absence. One mobster had
started opening the door when he
realized the planted match was
gone. ... So he started firing his
revolver. . . . The agent came out
shooting too, and two of Touhy’s
pals were hit by the marksman and
went to heaven.
Women in the News
Then there’s the episode in the
butcher shop. ... A uniformed
chauffeur turns out to be one of
the Touhy gangster.. He went to
purchase meat in the neighborhood
for Touhy (and the others) who
didn’t risk coming out of the house.
. . . The butcher shop, however, was
staffed by G-Men. . . . After a signal
from one butcher a bike-rider
G-Man tailed the chauffeur to the
scene where Touhy was hiding. . . .
But the confederate was not dis-
guised as a chauffeur in the actual
kidnap. . . . The movie people ap-
parently didn’t want to offend the
devout by sticking to the facts. . . .
The disguise worn by the gangster
in the meat shop was that of a
priest.

BLACK MARKETS:
Drive On
With federal men filtering into
many of the big markets. OPA ap-
pears determined to stage a deter-
mined drive against the reportedly
extensive black market in beef.
In conducting its first thorough
drive. OPA was said to consider all
packing plants under suspicion until
cleared by investigation. Many
packers compelled to pay over ap-
proved prices for cattle and then
sell the finished product at lower
ceilings, hoped the probe might re-
lieve this situation.
In going after the black market,
investigators may examine books of
commission men in tie various
yards to find packers paying over
approved prices for cattle. Trans-
actions taking place from these
packers all the way down to the re-
tail level may then be traced to un-
cover any illegal operations.

HAY SHORTAGE: With 20 per
cent less hay available for each farm
animal this year, farmers are faced
with an acute shortage of other
feeds, says the Middle West Soil Im-
provement committee. To meet tills
situation, pasture improvement in-
cluding the application of nitrogen,
phosphorus and potash is essential

age. it states.
SEA SERPENT: A "sea serpent”
35 feet long, “with humps on its yel-
low, shell-like back” was reported
seen in Payette’s lake, near McCall.
Idaho. The strange creature has
been observed periodically for the
last 10 years, it is said. One pre-
vious scoffer. Walter Bowling, was
among the group on shore who saw
the "thing.” He is now convinced
that it exists.

MONEY:
World Plans
Meeting in Bretton Woods, N. H.,
under the presidency of U. S. Sec-
retary of the Treasury Henry Mor-
genthau, delegates from 44 nations
discussed plans for the stabilization
and lending of money in the post-
war world through international
banks.
Stabilization of money would be
achieved through the creation of
an 8-billion dollar fund from which
nations could dnjw to uphold the
value of their own currency when
there was no demand for it, or to
pay off interest charges, etc.
A fund of 10 billion dollars
would be used for long-term loans,
with the money primarily used to
guarantee money let out by private
bankers of the various nations.
U. S. participation in each of the
organizations would approximate 2
billion dollars.
Although plans call for U. S. con-
tributions totaling well over two bil-
lion dollars for each project, con-
gress will have final say on whether
this country will participate.
SYNTHETIC RUBBER:
Russ Get Patents
In accordance with its policy of
giving the government free rights
to its patents and processes for
military purposes during the war.
Du Pont’s has made available its
procedure for manufacturing neo-
prene synthetic rubber to Russia.
In the first large-scale agreement
of its kind, the Russians will re-
ceive full technical details necessary
for building and operating plants to
produce neoprene, the first success-
ful general purpose synthetic rubber
ever developed. While Russia is at
war with Germany, the Soviets will
not be compelled to compensate Du
Pont s, and payment in the postwar
period will be dependent upon the
volume of Russian production.
Adaptable to many civilian as well
as military uses because of its resili-
ence and resistance to flame and
abrasion and deterioration by sun-
light, heat and oils, neoprene was
developed by Du Pont chemists
working on original discoveries of
Father Julius Nieuwland of Notre
Dame university.
PUBLIC LANDS
Public lands that would yield oil
if developed shouid be opened to ex-
ploitation by the states and thus re-
lieve the shortage of gasoline, ac-
cording to Warwick Downing, chair-
man of the public lands committee
of the Interstate Oil Compact com-
mission.
Senator Hatch, chairman of the
senate public lands committee, ad-
vocated the rewriting of the act to
clarify many points and to encour-
age exploratory operations for oil
and gas on the public domain.
The average newspaper read-
er. recalling Touhy’s mob, will
think tiie snatched man is the
rich Jake the Barber, victim of
that gang. . . . But jn the film
the producers purposely switched
things to give the story more
pep. . . . Jake the Barber’s
real tortures cannot be screened
or even written about—so vile
were they----So Tor the screen
the authors and director bor-
rowed several interesting items
from the kidnappings of a
wealthy youth named Rosenthal
(in New York) and the Urschel
snatch in the West. ... All the
kidnappers are now rusting and
rotting in prison on sentences
for life.
The most frightful moment in Di-
rector J. Edgar Hoover’s entire life
happened that terrible 5 ih the
morning—when the night was still
black. . . . Hoover and some of the
agents attacked the Touhy mob
from the rear of the building—other
FBI men covered the front. . . . Mr.
Hoover, revolver in paw, climbed
over the back fence and tread softly
to the back door, where he let out
the most piercing shriek ever heard
anywhere in the whole world. ... It
seems that a poor, little, inoffen-
sive, sleeping black cat was stepped
on by the most famed of ail G-Men,
and it let out one screetch, which
the startled G-Man tried to out-hol-
ler.

’WORLD 5 LARGEST SEILER AT 10
FBI agents the other day were in-
vestigating a theft of gov’t-owned
cigarettes destined for overseas
shipment . . . The foreman, who
had denied any knowledge of the
theft, produced a package of cigar-
ettes bearing a give-away gov’t
label. . . . The agent, who had
mooched a cigarette with a definite
purpose, forthwith arrested the
foreman, who was charged with the
crime.

One of the problems confront-
ing the FBI these clays is the
apprehension of individuals ob-
taining money fraudulently un-
der the Servicemen's Depend-
ents Allowance Act. Sixty-nine
convictions have resulted during
the first ten months of the 1944
fiscal year. An oddity in the
FBI’s files on this subject has
to do with a Louisville, Ky.,
woman who, when questioned
by FBI agents, offered to return
fourteen $50 checks she got ille-
gally, but hadn’t spent. She said
she had kept all the checks ex-
cept one, which the soldier him-
self cashed, and that she was
most willing to return them to
the Government.

Ihe alertness of G-Men was dem-
onstrated again the other dav in
Los Angeles. An agent spied a man
on the street whom he recognized as
a fugitive—a wanted notice had been
issued a few days before. Although
the suspect produced phony selec-
tive service cards, the G-Man was
persistent and took his fingerprints
whereupon die fugitive admitted his
identity as Walter Ray Carroll,
wanted in Washington State in con-
nection with a $25,000 narcotics rob-
bery.
