ON PRODUCTION
Three and One-h One-half Times Greater Than November,’ "WPB Chief Says.
(Continued from Page One)
question was the production of combat aircraft. He stressed that WPB was taking every step possible to see that materials were
such planes. Supply Improves “The flow of materials is getting
added. Regarding the WEB “housecleaning,” Mr. Nelson said that he wanted WPB made up of the best men in the country and if he foundgthat his associates and subordinates
they were going to be dropped. He reported that the overall materials picture was “good” although WPB officials were working to see that they got the needed materials from mines and scrap. The WPB chief said that “millions of dollars” of materials had been taken out of unbalanced inventories held by some companies. He estimdted that 160,000,000 pounds of copper alone had been taken from inventories and more than a million tons of steel had been taken from “distress” stockse of factories closed by limiting orders.
Seeks Program Balance
Asked if the nation was going to make its production goals, he replied: “We are not going to give up trying.” Mr. Nelson said that the “big job ahead of us right now is to bring our program into balance and make sure that we use our materials and facilities ‘as wisely as possible. “We must speed up the slow items and slow down the fast ones so that the unbalance which now marks - part of the program is brought into adjustment,” he said. Referring to hte work stoppages and plant shutdowns, Mr. Nelson said that they were ii not general.”
Assails Steel Branch Critics
Mr. Nelson described as “absolutely untrue” charges that the WEB iron and steel branch is made up of steel salesmen. Commenting on the discharge of a WPB engineering consultant after a forecast of his criticisms of the steel program had been published, Mr. Nelson said: “One thing we have to have in WPB is a lot of people making reports. Wé don’t want. to clamp a censorship on anyone. But I have the right to insist that reports go to me before they go to the press.”
Kaiser’ $ Proposal Studied, Says Nelson
WASHINGTON, Aug.22 (U.P.)— The principal bottleneck in cargo plan truction is difficulty in obta engines, WPB Chief Donald M. Nelson said today. He told a press conference that every consideration is being given shipbuilder Henry J. Kaiser's proposal for construction of 500 flying freighters. He emphasized, however, that “there never was any intention of issuing a letter of intent to Kaiser, or awarding a contract, until we know for sure. that the plan is feasible.”
REPORT JUGOSLAV GUERRILLA RAIDS
LONDON, Aug. 22 (U. P).— Private Jugoslav advices reported today that Gen. Draja Mikhailovich’s guerrilla air force has attacked an axis garrison at Banjaluka and -a German troop column, inflicting many casualties. The reports said that in the attack on Banjaluka, Pilot Rudi Cajevaz, the first airman to join the Jugoslav guerrilla air force, was killed. For more than six months before the guerrillas obtained additional planes, Cajevaz operated as a “lone eagle.” . It was understood that the guerrilla force now has 15 planes and that a pilot of the Croat air force has deserted with his’ plane to Mikhailovich. In: reprisal for the Jugoslav attacks, it was reported, Italian planes destroyed the town of Kljuc after Mikhailovich forces had captured it.
SEES INCREASING AIR RAIDS ON NAZIS
SWANSEA, England, Aug. 22 (U. P).—Air Minister Sir Archibald Sinclair -forecast today that Anglo-American ' airpower in the next few months will hurl a “ruthless” offensive against the heart. of Germany. Sinclair said that 1000-plane attacks on Germany will become increasingly frequent. “The factories will send us a swelling flow of bombers during the coming ‘ months,” he said. “The Americans are coming—nay, they are already here. In a few months time the four-figure raid will be a
{less infrequent occurrence.”

Pedestrians on Increase; Will Traffic Toll -

and their kin chuck their old “constitutional rights” notion and realize that it just doesn’t fit in with the modern traffic conditions. What
they want is the acceptance of a sensible philosophy of co-operation between the drivers and pedestrians. In some cities, like Detroit, they actually put teeth in it by handing out traffic tickets to pedestrian law violators. Indianapolis has a city ordinance describing pedestrian’s rights and duties but members of the police department say it is not enforced. Here they place it on the co-oper-ative basis. They advocate no radical changes in generally accepted habits. They just ask the pedestrian to observe a few .common practices designed for his own protection.
Between Intersections
Take crossings between intersections for instance. The J. Walkers certainly hang up a record there. Last year, 28 per cent of the pedestrian deaths in the nation were of that type. The percentage would be due for a big drop if pedestrians would stay on the sidewalks except when crossing the streets and do that at the corners only. That's ohe of the rules which the little’ Walkers take most seriously. At least twice a year the police visit schools to lecture on safety. And -they are really pleased with the results. In fact, Capt. Leo Troutman of the city police thinks children make twice as good pedestrians as their elders. About another 20 per cent of the pedestrians meet death while walking on rural highways. To guard against that the walker should keep well off the pavement and walk against traffic. At night the safe pedestrian wears sometfling white or carries a light in order to warn motorists of his presence on the road.
Stop and Look
Another 149 per cent of the Walker family is killed at -intersections where there are no lights. Here the old stop and look admonition is the best one. It is the pedestrian’s business, too, to wait at the curb if a car is so near that it cannot be stopped before reaching the crosswalk. Only about half as many des occur at intersections where th ere lights. But Capt. Troutman declares it is unbelievable the number of pedestrians who simply pay no attention to “Cross with the green light.” There's a large number, too, who refuse to see the pedestrian lane marked for their protection. And the pedestrian often conveniently ‘forgets that it is his business to keep an eye open for cars coming around the corner on the “go” signal. Tell No Tales
“Stay out from behind cars” is another cardinal rule. Almost 8 per cent of the nation’s pedestrians didn’t pay attention to that one last year and didn’t live to tell the tale. Around five per cent of the pedestrian - deaths last year were children playing in the streets. Safety officials and police are going after that problem through safety education’ in the schools. Gr It's really the oldsters that have them
more ‘complex than those for pedestrians, they point out, so that there is comparatively small excuse for the walker who is injured in traffic through his own carelessness.

“Second in command in the Gilbert battle, it was revealed, was President = Roosevelt's ' son, Maj. James Roosevelt. He was unscathed in the action, Japanese planes, sent under emergency orders to aid the enemy forces .on Makin island, bombed their own men and installations in their excitement. Marine losses were described as “moderate,” considering the nature of the engagement, which was a daring assault on a strongly-held enemy’ base in face of direct fire from the beaches. Lieut. .Col.- Evans F. Carlson, formerly American military observer in China, commanded the marines in the attack with Comm. John M. Haines leading the naval support force. The surphise attack on Makin was apparently made partly to create a diversion and prevent too great a concentration of Japanese strength in the Solomons area, but it was believed that the Makin attack might be only one of several such blows supplementing the Solomons action. Skirmishes Fought Daily Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, announcing the American victories in two communiques issued. at his headquarters here where the Pacific war began in the Japanese sneak attack Dec. 7, said that in the southern Solomons the Japanese had been driven back into the jungle and the hills which rise sharply a few miles inland in the volcanic islands. There are daily skirmishes, Admiral Nimitz said, in which both sides are suffering casualties. But it was clearly indicated that the Japanese losses were astonishingly high in proportion to: those of the marines and that as had been hoped, the Solomons offensive had become an historic - American victory.
Navy Works Over Wide Area
Close-mouthed Admiral Nimitz in the first communiques he had issued since the first days of the Solomon offensive, which opened Aug. 7, made it plain that the United States Pacific fleet, which the Japanese intended to wipe out in their sneak attack, is now doing its full job. Makin is 2400 miles southwest of Hawaii and 1275 miles northeast of the Tulagi area, of the Solomons. It is 3000 miles from the Aleutians where the navy and the army air force are operating against sneimy. held bases. iy Marines in the “Solomons are under the command of Maj. Gen. Alexander A. Vandegrift. Admiral Nimitz declared that they are adding “another page to history by their outstanding achievement.” He reported two battles to death on Solomons ‘this week. o Battles Reported On Wednesday the marines, with the loss of six men killed and 13 wounded, wiped out a Japanese detachment of 92 officers and men, who fought until the last man was killed. Thursday night the Japanese landed a force of “about 700 wellequipped troops from high speed boats” and attempted to break through marine lines to assist the Japanese already on one of the islands, which Adm. Nimitz did not name. For the rest of the night, there was hand-to-hand fighting. When daylight came one battalion held the front line against the Japs, while a second moved to the flank and forced the Nipponese back to the beach. By late afternoon, 670 of the Japanese were dead and the rest were prisoners. Marine losses were: 28 killed and 72 wounded.

A Plea to the Australian Girls
SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. 22 (U.

It is injurious to the mental and physical health of American womanhood to be permanently frustrated of the instinctive desire to marry and create a home.”
