EUROPE: . British Strike Moving behind Gen. Bernard L. Montgomery's thunderous barrages laid down by heavy artillery massed jl few yards apart, British forces pressed forward in an enveloping at tack against the Nazi defense pivot of Caen on the east side of the French beachhead, while at Cher bourg to the northwest, U. S. forces worked feverishly to xlear the big port for Allied use. Unable to storm Caen in frontal assaults, Montgomery threw out a long pincer to the west of the town, in an attempt to work around It to the rear. As the nervecenter. of their resistance on this sector of the battleline, the Germans used Caen as a base for parrying British thrusts to the interior. , J Having captured Cherbourg after bitter hand-to-hand fighting against fanatical German resistance. Allied forces sought to restore the city's shattered harbor facilities to enable the convenient unloading of supplies instead of the perilous and laborious procedure of landing them on the beaches. Russia With four armies In the field pressing the drive, the Reds rooted out the German foothold in White Russia and ironed out the big Nazi bulge pointed at Moscow in . the north. .... In Finland, the Reds continued to advance in the lake country on the southeast, and cleared additional sections of the Murmansk and Len ingrad railroad, over which supplies from -the Allies could be shipped from the Barents sea. - Using U. S. equipment, the Reds threw the full weight of their power against German strongholds on the White Russian front, forcing the Nazis .to evacuate their fortresses, or risk encirclement from the rear. Italy - The Allied advance up the Italian peninsula continued, with the Ger mans offering spotty rear-guard re sistance as the main body of their forces fell back to prepared defense lines, guarding the rich industrial and agricultural plains In the north. In putting up stubborn rear-guard action wherever the terrain was suit able for delaying tactics, the Nazis reportedly aimed to kill as much time as possible so as to prevent the Allies from launching major attack against the new defense line this summer. In driving up the western coast of Italy, the Allies came into posses sion of a number of ports, which can be used for supplying their advanc ing armies from the sea, thus sav ing much laborious transshipment over the mountainous terrain. RECONSTRUCTION: , Plan to Aid Reds With estimates mat Rossia will be in need of 3 or 4 billion dollars of equipment for the reconstruction of factories, power houses, transports' tlon services and the like to repair war damages, U. S. officials report edly are drawing up plans for U. 8. supply of materials on credit. Under the, plan of extension of U. S. credit, the chief problem con cern r the Russian form of repay, ment, with suggestions that repay ment be made in strategic materials. On tour of Russia reportedly to "find out what the Reds will be in the postwar market for, Erie Johnston, president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, recently declared ' that Soviet purchases from this country will run into the billions of dollars. GOP: 1944 Platform Cooperative action with other self determining nations to preserve world peace, protective tariffs and a guarantee of labor's bargaining rights highlight the platform on which the Republican party will go to the people in 1944, under tne leadership of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York. Adopted by the 1,057 sweltering delegates to the OOP's Z3rd national convention held la Chicag s daring a steaming heat wave, the platform's foreign policy plank frankly dis avowed any connection with a world super-state. , In advocating protective tariffs, the platform sought to prevent the dumping of cheap foreign goods or even lend-lease material on the U. S. market after the war, and favored reciprocal trade agreements when mutually beneficial and subject to congressional ratification. The prin ciple of an - "American market price" to the farmer was recog nized, and a crop adjustment pro gram during periods of abnormal surpluses advocated. Other planks la the platform in clude government cooperation la financing soil conservation pro.1 grams; limitation of the presiden tial tenure, to two four year terms; and assurance of free enterprise by government's withdrawal from busi ness; reduction la ladividaal corporation taxes after the war con sistent with costs of government, and government repayment mt debt obligations. FARM MACHINERY: Output Lags I Despite an improvement over pre ceding months, output of farm ma chinery continued to las In Hay. with production 10.7 per cent behind schedule. . Although War Production Caar Donald Nelson declared that the) $668,695,000 farm machinery pro gram for the year ending last month would be "substantially achieved,1 production of harvesting equipment was 30.5 per cent behind at the end of May and output of combines lagged 30 per cent ' - Production of haying machines was 28.3 per cent behind schedule, barnyard equipment 20.9 per cent behind, and farm poultry devices 9.3 per cent behind. , ' '-. On the other side of the ledger, production of Irrigation equipment was 13 per cent ahead of schedule and wheel type tractors S 3 per cent over. , ' PACIFIC: . ; Bomb Strongholds ; While U. S. troops continued to overrun Salpan Island in the Marl- anas In Japan's inner ring of de fenses, American airmen ranged the Pacific to bombard other enemy strongholds. , : With the main Jap fleet having withdrawn to the Philippines to lick the wounds incurred in its short brush with U. S. forces. American ships rode boldly at anchor in Magi' cienne bay at Salpan, while the ground troops slowly compressed some 20,000 defending Nipponese on the northern sector of the island and placed the capital of Garapan under heavy fire. , While U. S. naval and army filers cooperated in blasting the Marshall and Caroline islands in the south west racinc, other U. S. airmen bombarded the Japs' northern out- poets of Faramushlro and Shimushu in the Kurlles. - - HIGHLIGHTS l f weefc'f news MAKE HAT; Members of the 24th Infantry regiment of the Massachu setts national guard we.e engaged in bayonet drill in a hayfteld near Hlngham. Suddenly an officer boomed over the loud speaker: "The lady who leased this drill field to the state wishes you to leave Imme diately so she can begin baying be fore the rain starts." , The soldiers evacuated swiftly."

The AGRICULTURE: Less Pigs , p With the department of agricul ture predicting a pig crop of 87, 823, J 000 in 1944, production was expected to dip 28 per cent below 1843 and 10 ser cent under 1042. , , ' With spring production down to 55,025,000 pigs ss compared with 73,-1 : 311,000 last year, the fall crop was; expected to dip to 82,000,000 as against 47,831,000 in 1943. Although anticipating a drop spring production,, the government only expected a 18 per cent decrease . instead of the actual figure of 24 per cent In sizing up the fall crop.' the government looked tor the small est production in, four years, and the second lowest since 1838.- Feed Wheat , , 1 With sales of feed wheat by the Commodity, Credit corporation con turning the upward trend begun sev eral months ago, CCC stocks fell to 83,721,000 bushels of wheat Total sales since July, 1943, approximate 315,392,000 bushels.

" . Total CCC purchases since July 1, 1943, now stand at 129,553,000 bush-, els from Canada, 86,487,000 from the States, and 768,000 from Argentina. CIO: : j Living Costs J In an attsck aimed at the War Lav. bor board's "Little Steel" wage poh ley limiting raises to IS per cent of the January, 1941, level, .the CIO declared that living costs have risen, 45 per cent since then and not jus 23 per cent as estimated by the U. S. bureau of labor statistics. - ' ' The CIO attributed the difference between its figures and those of the BLS to the letter's failure to consider quality deterioration of goods; disappearance of low-priced items; decline in special and week . end sales; greater Increases in res taurant prices than in the cott of food consumed at home; greater Increases in prices of ail foods than in the 61 sample foods selected by the BLS; forced shifts to higher cost stores; greater increase in rents for furnished quarters, and enforced purchase or rental of higher priced homes. .-.
