TIME has acquired its standing with foreign audiences almost by accident. I can personally report to you only what happened in the Mediterranean area, but our files are full of evidence that exactly the same sort of thing happened elsewhere. It began when TIME started printing special editions for our armed forces abroad-editions which eventually totaled nearly a million locally printed copies every week...
Here & there a city got to work. Example: Newark planned 300 temporary houses (needed: 7,000).

Said the report: six atomic bombs dropped in the Los Angeles area could completely wipe out the giant Southern California plane industry. What must be done, said the report, is to disperse the aircraft industry. This could best be accomplished by letting coast planemakers trade some of their present plants for Government-owned facilities inland. The moving costs should be paid by the Government...
