ELECTRIC IRONS are certain to be among the very first civilian items to go back in production in a short time. Other more complicated things such as washing machines are apt to run into production difficulties. Irons are made by a comperatively simple procedure and require small, easily available fittings. WPB is now mulling over the results of its survey of the most essential consumer needs and will try to get essentials in production in «spite of apparent difficulties.

There were only 1000 enemy troops on Makin but some 4000 to 5000 on Tarawa and adjacent islands, which were attacked by marine veterans of the Solomons. On Makin, the Americans gained extensive military installations, radio station, muntions dumps, barracks, a seaplane ramp and several piers into the lagoon. One enemy plane was destroyed.

In the darkness, Reese escaped and when officers entered they found only the frightened parents who pleaded: “Don’t kill us!” A short time later Reese tried to force his way into the home of Mrs. Arthur Gemmer, 8585 Washington blvd. He was seen by a neighbor, George W, Crawford, 324 E. 96th st., who did not know of the gun battle, but fired at him and is believed to have wounded him. It was a radio report of a prowler at the Crawford home which resulted in Reese's capture.

The call was answered by Sheriff’'s Deputies Virgil Quinn and Edward Summers. - Parking in the driveway, Quinn got out and started for the porch, while Summers answering his first call, remained in the car. A bullet aimed at Quinn was fired by a man hidden in the bushes. Quinn fAred back twicec The than fell and crawled around to the car, opening the door and pointing a rifle at Summers.

By UNITED PRESS Despite developments of the last few months, Adm. Tanetsugu Sosa, retired Japanese naval officer, believes the Germans still might bomb New York and Washington “if stratosphere flights are successful,” Tokyo radio said today. According to an article by Sosa in the magazine Jitsugyo No Nippon, the Germans were understood to have “tested successfully” special long dispatch planes. He sald arrangements for mass production already have been made and that when the ‘Nazis have -enough they will “carry out air anacky on America.”

The London Dally Mail's air expert, Colin Bednall, said thé death of Berlin as a wartime capital “may well ‘be in sight" as result of the terrific aerial bombardment, whose | bomb tonnage for the three nights alone probably totaled more than 5000--only 2500 tons short of the weight of the entire 11-month German “blitz” against London.
