Gill. RAF pilot, recently crossed the .u.anlic Ocean in a Canadian-built number in six hours and eight minutes The Captain traveled 2,500 miles He almost made four hundred mile.1 an injur. If this thing keeps up, il will soon be possible for a man to i-at bieakfast in New York, lunch in London and supper in his own home the same night.

In establishing land bases on the islands of the Pacific, to help our push across the ocean, we had to leave them behind as the tide of war moved onward. In the carrier strikes against the Central Pacific banes of the enemy, however, the carriers, after performing one job, moved on to the next. Clothing Prices Chester Bowles, OPA administra tor, says that price rises in clothing in the last eighteen months "have been the greatest threat to the pro gram to hold the line on the cost of living." Pointing out that food prices drop ped four per cent while clothing rose eleven per cent, the OPA chief says that further increases will endanger the stabilization program and, for this reason, an effort will be made to prevent them. Mr. Bowles says that the decrease in food prices has compensated for the increase in clothing prices ana I that "the cost of living has been I practically stable for the past year i and a half." ' Already governmental agencies are ! taking steps to cut the price of clothing and to provide a larger supply of low-priced garments on dealers' shelves. similar decision forced upOn enemy. All of these indications re inforce and explain the report from the Aachen-Cologne front that the Germans continue lo throw fo fresh troops. "" ' " . k'T'! The Allied command for 'some time has made plain its Willingness to force a decisive' battle for the Ruhr. The Ninth and First Ameri can Armies are consolidating "take off positions and regrouping units. The pattern of the intense air at tacks, reveals a continual hammering at communication centers serving the Cologne sector. The actual break-through may oc cur north or south of the great battlefield, but it is here that the test of reserves is being made, and the Germans are either willing or are forced to have it so. Christian Science Monitor. uyciatimi , ikvw "-"jr- -ne . . . ,. nrjuttLAuiaw ENTERTAINS BRIDGE CLUB "Best ... In The World" The United States has "the best army, navy and marine corps in the world today," declares Vice Admiral Marc A. Mitscher, who commanded a carrier task force in the Pacific for t past two years. The Admiral believes that half of the Japanese Navy has been wiped out, that Japanese naval aviation has been practically eliminated and that the Jap fleet will come out again. ProbuMy the most argumentative phase of his discussion of the current war is an expressed preference for carrier-based, instead of land-baaed, planes. The Admiral points out that Test Before Cologne It looks more and more as though the Germans have decided to stake at least the winter's decision on the great battle west of the Rhine, be tween Aachen and Cologne. They have the chance here to break the momentum of the Allied offensive and thus gain a breathing spell un til spring, and at the same time to save the Ruhr industries. The military events of the last few days point to such a conclusion. It is casting no reflection on the skill and drive of the American Third Army to say that their push across the iSaar and impending occupation of the Saar Basin is possibly linked with a decision by the German high command that both the Saar and the- Ruhr cannot be held, and that re serves must be rushed north toward Cologne. Nor is it detracting from the credit due the Eighth and Fifth Armies in Italy to deduce that their capture of Ravenna and substantial Mrs. R. E. Vickers was hostess to her bridge club on Wednesday even ing at her home. The house was beautifully decorated with holly, evergreens and a Christmas tree.
