Distilleries Are Now
Running 24 Hours
For the first time in the history of
the beverage distilling industry, a
24-hour-per-day production schedule
has been adopted by a distilling cor
poration. Distilleries are now entire
ly devoted to the making of alcohol
for war uses. The total output of
these plants?high-proof alcohol and
'high wines' which are dedistilled in
to 190-proof alcohol?goes to help
meet requirements for smokeless
gunpowder, synthetic rubber, chem
ical warfare, lend-lease and other
The 43rd Week
Of The War
The Navy announced that U. S.
Army troops, "covered and support
ed by units" of the U. S. Navy, have
recently occupied positions in the
Andreanof group of the Aleutian Is
lands. Occupation was effected with
out enemy opposition. This chain of
some 24 islands stretches for 240
miles and the largest of the islands
is about 275 miles from Japanese-oc
cupied Kiska and is well adapted for
use as an air base. The Navy said U.
S. heavy bombers and fighter craft
are already operating from air fields
in these islands.
During a week of heavy fighting
in New Guinea, Gen. MacArthur's
ground forces drove the enemy back
some 40 miles from a point 32 air
miles from the allied base of Port
Moresby past Efogi Village, last im
portant Japanese base on the south
em side of the Owen Stanley Moun
tains, Gen. MacArthur's headquar
ters reported October 5th. American
Flying Fortresses based in Britain
attacked an airframe factory at Me
aulte and a German airfield at St.
Omer October 2, and returned with
out losses after shooting down 13
enemy fighters.
U. S. submarines operating in Far
Eastern waters sank five enemy
ships and probably sank two more,
and damaged another. Army, Navy
and Marine corps fliers from Sep
tember 25 to 28 destroyed 42 Japan
ese Aircraft and damaged three oth
ers in the Solomons, without com
bat loss of any U. S. planes, and hit
two enemy cruisers, damaged an
other ship and probably sank a large
transport. The Navy reported the
8,378-ton Naval transport George F.
Elliott and the small transport Greg
military uses. The round-the-clock
schedule has stepped up the com
pany's production to an annual rate
in excess of sixty million proof gal
lons?or its equivalent of 30 million
gallons of alcohql.

Ship welders Working to Defeat the Axis
Along with sailors and merchant marine seamen, shipyard repairmen are doing their best to keep 'em
sailing. This unique photo was made in the Todd shipyards in Brooklyn, N. V., as a crew of welders
use acetylene torches to repair a giant vessel in one of the drydocks. The men are removing bent plates
from the side of the ship. {Central I'rctt)
ory were sunk in the Solomons but
most of their personnel was saved.
The Navy announced October 5 that
the 1,526 ton submarine Grunion, has
been overdue in the Pacific for some
time and "must be presumed to be
lost." The normal complement of the
vessel would be 65 officers and men.
The torpedo smking of four more
United Nations Merchantmen was
announced.
War Production and Small Business
Following an 8.754-mile two-weeks
tour of the Nation?kept secret as a j
special wartime safeguard? Presi
dent Roosevelt said the War Produc
tion program is going, on the whole,
extremely well, allowing for a norm
al small percentage of lag in a pro
gram made a bit higher than hu
man ingenuity could carry out. He
said he thought the production pro
gram would be achieved to the ex
tent of 94 or 95 per cent of the goals
outlined by him last January. The
President said the war spirit he
found in all parts of the country was
in excess of the war spirit in Wash
ington, and the people of the country
are ready to sacrifice for the war ef
fort to a greater extent than any
steps yet proposed in Washington.
American shipyards produced 93
vessels during September, a rate of
three ships a day, the Maritime Com
mission announced. The total dead
weight tonnage of 1,009,800 was the
greatest record in world shipbuild
ing history, the Commission said, and
assures that the goals of 8,000,000
tons this year and 16,000,000 tons
next year will be met.
WPB Chairman Nelson asked Con
gress tor immediate creation of a
war liabilities adjustment board to
help protect the small businessman.
Commerce Under Secretary Taylor
also recommended establishment of
a permanent agency whose task
would be to "husband small busi
ness." He estimated that 300,000 re
tail stores face failure before the
end of 1943 because of government I
restrictions, material shortages and
the draft.
Army and Selective Service
The War Department opened an
intensified campaign to recruit 18
and 19-year-old volunteers for the
Army. Ttiey may now volunteer for
the Quartermaster Corps, Ordnance
Department, Chemical Warfare Serv
ice, Medical Department and the
Corps of Military Police, in addition
to the previous choices. The War De

Things To Watch
For In The Future
The Ruml pay-as-you-go plan for
paying income taxes the same year
the income is earned, by "skipping
a year," apparently has been shelved
for the present, but he and many
others insist the plan is still very
much alive . . . There likely will be
a general readjustment of automo
bile liability insurance rates after
gas rationing becomes nationwide . . j
Canning science has now figured a
way to put that "all-time all-Ameri
can" combination, ham and eggs, in- j
to tin-canned form, for the soldiers
. . . Plywood will get a big oppor
tunity in the three 125-ton cargo
planes called for in the Kaiser
Hughes contract, with a type called
partment said approximately 270,000
checks totaling $19,500,000 in family
allowance payments are being mail
ed to some 405,000 relatives and de
pendents of soldiers October 1-10,
including 135,363 first payments. No
vember payments are expected to be
twice as numerous as in October.
Selective Service Director Her
shey said he hoped mobilization for
the Armed Services will reach its
peak this year and will go downward
with the start of 1943, but no one can
make a prediction with any high de
gree of certainty because of world
military developments.
