...Baltic seacoast, southern and northwestern Ger many; over factories making planes, tanks, dyes, submarine parts, aircraft motors, artillery, ammunition. Russian four-motored bombers roared out of the dark ness over Poland to batter the power stations and railroad centers at Königsberg, in East Prussia; and the machine-tool plants, warehouses, chemical factories and shipyards at Danzig on the Baltic...
...prodding by Government agencies--are opening fields hitherto closed to the Negro. Shipbuilding, the converted automobile industry, the iron and steel plants are leaving their doors ajar, and a few Negroes are slipping in.

Notable exceptions to the no-more-new-plant decision: synthetic rubber (already dangerously behind schedule) and aviation gasoline...
Jinnah, whom the Congress calls a British tool, last week stepped up his pip-squeaking with a self-contradicting attack on a speech by the Viceroy, Lord Linlithgow. The tired Viceroy had again claimed that "agreement cannot be reached between the conflicting interests of this country as fro who is to take over responsibilities which we are only too ready to transfer to Indian hands." First Jinnah called Linlithgow's speech "most inopportune and likely to shatter what little hope of settlement had been created," then he gave substance to Linlithgow's claim by ranting...
