...House last week gave Franklin Roosevelt one of the sharpest rebukes ever dealt a U.S. President. The Disney rider passed, 268-to-129, repealing Franklin Roosevelt's directive of Oct. 3, 1942, which clamped a $25,000-net limit on salaries...
Donets for Defense? If the Germans do succeed in re-establishing the Donets line, the net result of the Russian drive in the south will have been a great victory; Hitler's advances of a year will have been erased-almost. The Germans still hold all of the Crimea and the Novorossiisk beachhead in the Caucasus, which they did not have at the beginning of the 1942 offensive. But the net result will be disappointing, if only because hopes for the Russians had gone so high...

That figure was 35% above his 1941 earnings, came within 5% of equaling the total increase in Loew's earnings...
...February we believe we have achieved the best results against the U-boat yet experienced. . . . There still is probably a larger output of U-boats than the total numbers being killed, but the gap is being reduced." Thanks to increased production and reduced sinkings, there has been a net gain in Allied shipping since last August of some 1,250,000 tons...
