...Have Failed." Said cherubic Senator Byrd: "America has the capacity in labor and raw materials to outproduce any other nation. ... In that job ... we have failed, and miserably failed. . . We have not sent to England the aid we should have sent her, and our own preparations have dangerously lagged . . . We have spent for national defense nearly $10,000,000,000. What have we to show? . . . The colossal sum of $53,000,000,000 has been authorized and appropriated. This is twice as much as the cost of our participation in the last World...

Transportation Commissioner Ralph Budd announced a program to collect 232,000 tons of abandoned streetcar rails. But Cleveland's Daily Metal Trades reported that steel mills are still using more scrap than they...
...Leon Henderson, all he could do was go back to his office, announce more price ceilings, hope that by some miracle they would be obeyed. Last week he put ceilings on raw sugar, burlap, copper, pig tin, pine lumber. But bootlegging has put holes in Leon's previous ceilings and doubtless will continue to riddle his new ones...
