Adolf Hitler told his people last September that the conquered Ukraine in Russia was a priceless prize of war, rich in farmlands and factories, already a scene of reconstruction and exploitation. Last week, as the Wehrmacht reeled farther & farther back into the Ukraine (see map), the Germans were fast losing this vast (172,000 sq. mi.), heavily populated (31,000,000) territory, and the Russians were regaining one of their greatest centers of wealth...
Sometimes the best clue to the man-of-the-week's identity is a map (like the map of the middle Mediterranean which identified Lord Gort as Governor of Malta).

Stettinius Jr. spent three pleasant hours citing Lend-Lease accomplishments (TIME, Feb. 1), tracing the flow of U.S. goods on a map which made committee members proud. For the few challenges hurled his way, Ed Stettinius had ready answers...
