Led Raid Ov?r Roue* First all-American bombing raid oa the German-held Continent, which blasted railroad marshalling yards at Rouen in occupied France, was led by Brig. Gen. Ira C. Eaker (above), chief of the Army Air Force bomber command In Kurope. The American Flying Fortresses were escorted by RAF, Dominion and Allied fighter planee. (Central Press) War As It Relates To Home Front Is Reviewed for Week Far-Flung Battles Tied Close ly to What Happens Back Home in Kitchen Battles in the far comers of the earth are tied by strong, invisible hands to what happens in our kitch ens, our comer grocery, drug store, shoe shop, drygoods store, laundry, lumber mill, paint shop, hardware store, motion picture theatre. If we bought freely everything we wanted, many of our fighting men would lack shoes, clothing, mattresses, medical supplies. There would be fewer guns, tanks, planes and ships. Our enemies would profit from our "normal standards of living." Inflation Is Not Licked On the other hand, if the sellers of goods took advantage of that great ly increased national income which is competing for the limited amount of goods available, another kind of enemy?the war ogre, inflation ? would score a victory. The Office of Price Administration warns us that the threat of inflation, of high liv ing costs, is not licked. Our surplus buying power still is mounting, while farm products and wage are loopholes in the Price Control Pro gram which will need serious at tention. If living costs are not to soar as in previous wars, farmers will have to take less for their prod ucts, workers will have to give up the idea of unnecessary wage boosts, and business profits will have to be cut. Outside the uncontrolled danger zones, however, price ceilings are being steadily extended to protect our pocketbooks. Overalls and oth er staple work clothes, toweling, blankets, cotton goods, cold weather apparel, storm doors and sashes, fire and snow shovels, room heaters, saw handles, toys, games and Christmas novelties and equipment for winter sports will cost no more than they did last year. If we must economize on fuel oil, at least we can afford winter gloves, wool sweaters, ear muffs, and heavy shoes as long as the stocks last. Various services, too, will charge no more than they did last March? laundering, dry cleaning, shoe re pairing, to name a few. Even agri FIRST SALE!

Few Oil Burners Changed In Homes East Coast industrial plants have far outdistanced the domestic con sumer in taking precautions against the fuel and heating-oil shortage, ac cording to a report from the petrol eum industry August 24th to the Of-1 fipe of Petroleum Coordinator for War Ickes. John A. Brown, Chairman of the i Petroleum Industry General Com mittee for the East Coast area, re ported that the program for convert ing Atlantic Seaboard industrial plants from fuel oil to coal consump tion is making excellent progress, but that neither industrial nor do mestic consumers fully comprehend ylet the gravity of the fuel-oil sit uation. Mr. Brown informed the Coordina tor that East Coast industrial plants already had converted from fuel oil to coal in more than 50 per cent of the cases where conversion is pos sible, and, as a result, were saving more than 22,500,000 barrels of fuel oil annually. He said that conversion program in industrial plants should bring about eventually a saving of 42,000,000 bar rels, or about 35 per cent of the to tal industrial fuel-oil consumption on the East Coast. As contrasted with the progress being made in industrial plants. Mr. Brown reported that not more than 1 per cent of homes now heated with fuel oil have been converted. He said that home owners so far had failed to heed the Governmont warning that East Coast homes could be cold this winter unless home owners who can convert their oil burners to coal consumption make the change-over and get their coal supplies ordered and into the coal bin promptly. cultural services are coming with in the reach of price control. In the South some two million cotton rais ers, who have been paying about $65,000,000 annually to huve their cotton ginned will find that cotton ginners are restricted in their charges. More Articles Diverted to War Needs In many lines, as present stocks are exhausted and replacements are diverted to war needs, we must ex pect to save what we have or do wtihout. Rubber goods of all sorts, of course, will be at a premium, Wire coat hangers must be cheriiihed? cleaners now have a right to ask a small deposit for their return unless the customer brings his own. Paper dress patterns for home-made dresses will have to be no larger than the garments sold in stores. Cattle hair, the best material for bunk mattresses where the climate is damp, will go to the boys who have to fight in steaming jungles. Veneer made from white oak lumber will be missing from store shelves, and all grades and types of soft-wood lumber will soon be hard for the civilian to get. He may not even rent a new type writer, for modern war needs type writers are swift and legible ^com munication. Dried fruits take up lit tle space in cargo boats Canned Cal ifornia sardines will be a part of soldiers rations. Convalescents in military hospitals Must have canned chicken and turkey. Power Construction Halted The development of new sources of power, though desirable from the standpoint of production, eats into our national stockpile of vital mater ials?steel, copper and the like. Con struction in that field, therefore, has been halted Fortunately for the Pa cific Northweat, the Great Bonne ville-Grand Coulee Dam systems were completed in time to furnish power for the fifth war aluminum plant in that region. In many parts of the country consumers of electric light and power already are being urged to cut unnecessary use of elec tricity. Users of fuel oil will join buyers of gasoline in a broad program to save these liquids, a program brought about by the shipping short age. The tankers sung off our East ern coast have drawn into their ver tex consumers of fuel oil and gaso line from Maine to Texas, from North Dakota to Louisiana. Regula tions designed to free some 5,000 to 7,000 tank cars for service on the East Coast will affect 20 states in ad ditoin to those where rationing al ready is in effect. We are learning painfully that in total war what touches one of us touches all of us, one way or another. Manpower Problem Grows TTiis principle applies both to the individual citizen and to our great pools of manpower. All sound and physically fit men face the possibil ity of being called into selective serv ice. Their places must be filled by women, older men, and those whose military usefulness is slight. But the production of raw materials is also pressing, to keep the thousands of war plants at uninterrupted work on finished products. A basic prob lem is to keep men at work, all the time, and to keep them at work which most directly contributes to our fighting punch. Absenteeism?the two day layoff from the job for that fishing trip? definitely sabotages the war effort Right now, when we need every ounce of copper we can get, we're faced with a serious shortage of cop per miners. An effort is being made to shift miner* from the gold and sil ver fields to more useful employ ment in other mines. To our mobilization of manpower and womanpower we are about to add mobilization of our youth and of our children. The National Insti tute on Education has called upon ed ucators from all parts of the country to consider the most effective way to make use of aU the students in the oountry, frcra elementary grades through college, In war service. The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts already have shown their metal in various drives, but the new program will go View of Camouflaged British Plane Carrier This is the latest picture of the Formidable, a heavily-camouflaged British aircraft carrier, as seen from the quarter Jock of the H'arspitr, veteran British battleship which has taken part in numerous sea fights in World War 11. (Central I'ress) New Addition to U.S. Sub Fleet The Navy's latest-built submarine, the Harder is shown sliding down the ways at the Electric Boat Company's yards at Groton, Conn. The sleek underscas craft was sponsored by Mi*s Helena M. Shafroth, of Washington, D. C., daughter of Rear Adm. John F. Shafroth. Tiny War Worker Thrusting himself through s wing pontoon hole, 10V4 inches wide and 8^4 inches high, is midget George Barrett. He is employed by the Goodyear Aircraft Corporation in Akron, 0., to climb inside airplane wings and reach ordinarily inacces sible places. George drew his entire body through the aperture after this photo wm taken. further. Schools may furnish volun teer battalions for harvesting, ra tioni^g programs, civilian defense, and other activities, while school buildings will be used for classes in radio operating, war work training, and pro-military preparation in spec ialized subjects. The need for a better distribution of manpower is matched in import ance by the need for scrap to feed the plants and furnaces. The scrap "drive" is not for this month or the next, it is for the duration and must be sustained if we are to meet the unending need for steel. A sizable contribution continues to come from auto graveyards which in the past four months have turned up 1,633, 369 tons of salvaged metals, in July alone, 434,448 tons of iron and steel and 18,698 tons of scrap rubber. War Pi-eduction Soars All these far-flung and diverse efforts add up to just one thing - our common will to defeat our enemies. This national determination was un derstood in WPB Chairman Don ald Nelson's second War Production Report. Munitions output in July was 3 1-2 times as great as our output in November 1941. For that month air craft production was up 11 per cent over June, ordnance 26 per cent, nav al construction 22 per cent, and mer chant ship tonnage 6 per cent over the previous month. The War Pro duction Drive, with its 1,250 Labor management committees serving plants in which nearly three million men and women work for victory, htts?had a?great deal to do with speeding production. Concentration of production?the pooling of industry's resources?is being studied by a committee of WPB. This may help small plants and businesses which have been threatened - by loss of material sup plies The principle can also be ap plied to larger units making similar products. "Utility Models" will take the place of a variety of types and standards of manufacture . . for the first time, a reasonably complete picture of the supply and demand in American industry is now available. This will he of immense help in achieving the "balanced" production program which is the immediate aim of WPB In South Bend, Ind., a one-week community nutrition i paign resulted In a 10 per cent in crease by typical city families in knowledge of food values, interest in healthful foods, and use of healthful foods . . . The Office of Civilian De fense will accept the services of con scientious objectors who volunteer for civilian defense work . . Repre sentatives of 20 CIO and AFL unions have been invited to meet with War Production Board officials on pro duction policies . . . Mail deliveries will be cut and many mail boxes will stand idle for the duration, to save time and manpower . . . "Thrill shows" by daredevil drivers of auto mobiles and motorcycles have been banned. They use up rubber and gas Sightseeing buses, taxis for "rub bernecks" and "drive-yourself" cars for pleasure are out . . . Violators of various official regulations dealing with price ceilingij and the sale of commodities are finding out that the Government can get them . . Laun dries, dry cleaning establishments and motion picture theatres will not be able to replace equipment for the duration.
