Production Lag
Many days after Under Secretary of War Patterson
first announced that arms output had fallen off in
May, WPB Chairman Donald Nelson tempered the
bad news with an explanation.
Production of aircraft was held up by design modi-
fications in fighter planes which resu I ted in com-
pletely new ships/7 Also, changes in priority account-
ed in part for the apparent recession. So it may be,
though probably we never shall know for sure, that
the May drop was more apparent than real. The same
considerations are said to apply to June production
This explanation is gratifying. The present would
be a very poor time for the output of armament and
munitions to slow down. And up to now acceleration
has been so rapid that the pace cannot be maintained
forever.
From now on we must be prepared for fluctuations]
arising out of a consideration which Mr. Nelson ex-j
plained briefly. Production is measured in dollar
value, which at best is a very unsatisfactory yardstick
but for which there seems to be no usable substitute, j

Paramushiru, naval-air base at the northernmost tip of the Japa-
nese empire, is on the American bombing schedule now, and may
some day be an invasion target. Used as a supply point for the
Jap base at Kiska, Paramushiru is well within bomber range of
U. S. bases in the western Aleutians. Knockout of this island in
the Kurile chain is an initial step in the march on Tokyo.
40 Warplane Attacks
On Kiska In 4 Days
As the tides of war change and new plans call for
new emphasis on differing types of equipment, the
dollar measure of output may fluctuate considerably
though actual production is proceeding smoothly and
satisfactorily.
“For instance," Mr. Nelson said, "a tank is a very
expensive piece of apparatus. When the tank pro-
gram is cut back, as it has been, it makes a consider-
able difference in the dollar value of output/'
Presumably when tanks were "cut back" emphasis
hqs placed upon other items, more needed for the
moment, which represent smaller payment and there
fore tend to drag down the apparent deliveries of war
goods.
We have now come so close to our potential maxi-
mum that overall production can be forced into actual
decline by temporary delays and shifting of empha
sis.
This emphasizes the necessity for utilizing every
pound of material, every man-hour of labor, to the
fullest. We may have thought that the pressure was
on before, but it wasn't. It's just about to go on.
Overlooking Brains
Dr. Minnie L. Maffett, president of the National
Federation of Business and Professional Women's
Clubs, complains that the war is being slowed down
because the government is not making use of women's
brains. ' v
Not to be bitter, and conceding that there are many
exceptions—there are those who hold that the war is
being slowed down because of the government's fail-
ure to use brains.
Russians Co-operate
The Russians are co-operating again with Hitler—
but this time not quite to der Fuehrer's taste. In fact,
he probably wishes that the Reds wouldn't be quite so
helpful.
Experts believe that the vicious drive launched by
the Nazis on the eastern front was designed to
straighten out the line so as to release a few divisions
for use elsewhere - perhaps on the second front that
is impending. Hitler couldn't straighten the line, but
the Russians are straightening it for him—in the other
direction.
In the long run this probably will do the Austrian
corporal little good. The Reds love variety, and they ese planes, probably destroyed ,,ear. William E. Warne informa-

Germans Claim
li Ships Sunk
LONDON, July 28—UP)—1The
German high command asserted in
its communique today that 11 Al-
lied ships and boats had been sunk
and 11 others, including a light
cruiser, had been damaged in va-
| riuus air and sea actions. The
I claims, broadcast from Berlin and
II eeorded by the Associated Press,
were without Allied confirmation.
The actions were listed as fol-
lows:
U-boats sank eight ships total-
ling 44,241 tons and damaged six
freighters and a light cruiser in
the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
Long distance bombers sank two
merchantmen and damaged three
m an attack on a convoy in the
Atlantic. Other German broad-
cast' said this action was off Por-
j tugal.
German patrol boats engaged
British motor torpedo boats off
the Dutch coast and sank one and
i damaged one.

the total the Germans reported
I for June.

A tropical hurricane which cut a multi-million dol
lar swath along the Texas gulf coast was along the up
per coast today, leaving an uncounted toll in property
damage and crops.
Although disruption of communications had ham-
pered a survey of storm damage, Galveston's damage
was estimated at $1,000,000, and the damage at
Goose Creek, Baytown, Pelly tri-citics area was con
sidered to be about the"
same figure Destruction
at Houston was heavy.
No loss of life or serious in-
juries had been reported.
Terrific winds averaged around
75 miles per hour, bettered 100
miles per hour in gusts and
reached a velocity of 132 miles
an hour at the Houston Municipal
Airport.
Streets of the storm-hit cities
were littered with wreckage and
broken glass. Ninety per cent of
the plate glass windows in the
main business section of Goose
Creek were blown out. Wind tore
off the roof of Baytown’s new
$500,000 Baptist Church. Hundreds
of pine trees in the city were
uprooted and crashed into houses.

PILOT DIES IN CRASH
WASHINGTON, July 28— 'AP>
—Aii forces of the Pacific com-
mand striking Japanese defenses
with unprecedented fury, made 19
attacks on Kiska island in the
North Pacific Monday and Tues-
day, the navy reported today, and
again raided Wake Island in the
Central Pacific.
The 19 raids in two days an-
j nounced in a navy communique
raised to 40 the number of at-
tacks which bombers and fighter-
bombers have made on embattled
Kiska in ,i four-day period.
The island has been raided 60
times this month as airmen blasted
the way for expected conquest of
the enemy stronghold by Ameri-
can amphibious forces.

The worst of the storm struck
Galveston at 1:45 p. m. yesterday

with a barometer reading of 29.10.
Many small houses were blown
down at Galveston and the busi-
