...last summer for stopping the Russians at the Vistula. Balck had shown defensive ability in the Ukraine, and after the Allied invasion of southern France he succeeded in bringing the remnants of his Panzer corps back to Germany. Now, wherever possible, Model and Balck are sacrificing substandard troops to save good ones. At sensitive spots they still counterattack with great force and frequency...
...could the tide be rolled back in time to save Kweiyang, now the last forward U.S. air base? By this week the Japs had snaked in past Pachai, only 65 miles east of Kweiyang, apparently had bypassed the Chinese units set out for distant defense of the city's rail and road approaches. Another strong enemy column had speared beyond Hochih, stood astride the railroad only 75 miles southeast of Kweiyang...

Thus, the incentive will be to turn out cheap instead of expensive goods. Bowles estimates that this will save consumers $17,000,000 a year on cotton goods, another $21,000,000 on rayon. And it will distribute between the manufacturer, the jobber and the converter the 5% boost in the cost of cotton goods caused by the amendment of cotton-loving Senator John H. Bankhead to the Stabilization Extension...
