...Munich, Regensburg and Heidelberg, Army recruiting offices posted signs in five languages informing persistent hungry, ill-clothed Germans and D.P.s that only U.S. citizens are eligible for the well-fed, well-dressed U.S. Army...

The Chicago price for full-fed steers hit an alltime high of $28.40 a hundredweight, then rose another $1.60. First day this week, the torrent turned into a deluge. Trucks loaded with hogs and steers were lined up 30 blocks waiting for the yards to open. By sundown the number of steers received was approximately 40,000, just a cut or two under the famous...
