Vo the standard of living throughout the Americas and the world. Re- * duced to its simplest terms, there are upward of 300,000, 000 people in the Americas. If ‘their average per capita income were raised by 50 cents a week it would increase their aggergate purchasing power by more than seven billion dollars
annually. The total population of the earth is approximately two billions. A similar income boost would ' add 50 billion dollars a year to the peoples’ spending | money. But as each dollar in circula- | tion .is said to change hands about 10 times a year, the total turn- |
over would be increased by some- | thing . like 500 billion dollars. | And that would provide millions | of jobs and buy a tremendous lot for the rank and file.
Canada to Get Bid
This may be an oversimp lifica= tion, but it gives the general idea within the Americas, including Canada if she accepts the invitation to join the rest of the Americas, soon to be issued to her. The sponsors of the plan hope its ambitious aims can be realized through the development of natural resources, increased industrialization, improved transportation, modernized agriculture, more

Through all this devastation | and violent death our signalmen have strung their wires to command posts, our engineers have cleared many of the streets of rubble and searched them for mines so that vehicles may pass safey.

Airpower Makes Gigantic Strides in Year, Losses Cut

with 10,000 pounds of extra ammunition, and tackled the pride of the luftwaffe. From the Alps to Rbgensinirg and back, the bombers battled 300 German fighters. ; We lost 52 bombers in 100 minutes; 390 American airmen were lost; 190 bailed but onto German soil. But on the other side of the balance sheet, the bombers tore the heart out of the lutftwafle reserve. Never again was the luftwaffe able to fight in such strength. “That was the turning point of the war in Europe,” said Gen.
Today's great attack showed the difference in one year. .It was the same kind of weather and we used the same route, We flew in a formation nearly 100 miles long—an air train of 595 heavy bombers, escorted to the target and back by 334 fighters. There were 6284 Americans in the air on today’s strike. Not
one German fighter arose to attack. Instead of losing $2. homibers out of 177, we lost nine out of 595 (to flak). Instead of losing 580 men, we lost 90. Instead of one climactic day's effort over Regensburg this is the 13th conSecutive day Gen. Twining’s air force has put around 1000 planes over German-held territory. The exact figure is 13,261 sorties in 13 days. The German fighters have practically disappeared in the last year. But German anti-aircraft fire has increased murderously— month by month—in volume, concentration and accuracy. The fliers pay little attention to light flak, but the high, heavy stuff is fantastic to see. The usual notation on the operational blackboards says, ‘heavy flak, intense, deadly.” As Hitler contractsrhis defense

NEW PARI-MUTUEL
MOVEMENT STARTS
The pari-mutuel betting proposal, which has been presented to every session of the legislature. for many {years despite continuous defeats, is back again. © A resojution was introduced in the house yestérday by Rep. Earl B. Teckemeyer (R. Indianapolis) and Rep. Russell Fortune Jr. (R. Indianapolis) providing for a legislative commission to study the possibility of legalizing pari-mutuel betting in Indiana as a revenue-raising plan.

{ranges from $2,000,000 to $18,000,000 lin other states and suggested that {the commission study the “feasabillity of using such revenue for educa-~

TRAINING PROTEST
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 ‘(U. P).
—Senator Robert “A. Taft (R. O) today carried to War -Secretary Henry L. Stimson his complaint against using 18-year-old boys in combat with what he called inadequate training. Taft told reporters he was writing a letter of protest to Stimson following up his speech in the senate yesterday on the subject. “I'm sure they can do something about it,” Taft said. “At least they could set up replacement training programs behind the lines of combat in France and give these boys some training there. There certainly is no use for having these boys join units while they are in combat.” Taft told the senate yesterday that 18-year-old boys have Been sent into combat units with no more than 13 weeks basic training. He protested that it was contrary to congressional policy and to prin-
