It is known that Donald Nelaon, head of our War Production board, has been working very closely with Mr. Lyttleton, so that those who hold to the opinion that we are now plan ning for a shorter war have a strong argument on their side in quoting Mr. Lyttleton’s opinion. However, a more plausible expla nation of the shift from long term planning to concentrated, immediate production is the known fact that we ffei are now on the offensive whereas we were on the defensive when the ori ginal commitments werfft made by the WPB. Being on the offensive natural ly calls for quickest possible delivery and exports, the committee had de leted the part of the bill which would have given the President the power to scrap immigration laws. Since there was considerable oppo sition to this measure by the present congress, it appears doubtful if the new congress, which will include many additional opponents of the President, will pass such a “power” measure without considerable modi fication. For all practical purposes, how ever, legislation must, from now on, be thought of in terms of what the new congress will do about it since the few present members, who are' still in Washington, will just time until the end of the year. vice Command at Camp Campbell,!]'’ *<j ail rj writing a line to let you!

The letter further stated that while great progress has been made at the plant located here, that a consider able operating loss was sustained. This operating loss, the communica tion stated, is accounted for by two principal factors — that during the first part of the year the plant broke in and trained almost 100 per cent of its employes, since little skilled labor was avaiable. In the second half of the year the job had to be done all over, Mr. Woodward stated, when a laYge part of the plant’s pro- n was turned over to war Dr. William P. Jacobs, president of the college, in commenting on the work. While these factors kept the plant operating at a loss for the big gest part of the year, the losses were offset by profits from other sources. In regard to the future, the com- Without too much to go by, some analysts here have it all figured out that Italy wil be out of the war by spring, Germany will be defeated by the end of 1943 and Japan’s defeat will come around the end of 1944 or the beginning of 1945. Although it is comforting to picture such a sched ule, it seems foolish to put much stock in it since there are so many things which can happen which will speed or delay the results. But not. since the war began has there been such a show of confidence here that victory is in sight, even thought its final accomplishment may yet be a long way off.

The new plan for 1943 is being dictated by the War Production board. In general, the new plan seems to call for the discontinuance of cer tain construction projects already i started but which would require Garner and attended the funeral. “PERILS OF NYOKA,” Chapter 6. 10c and 25c 10 A- M.

Instead of using materials and manpower x>n such projects, the WPB seems to tje concentrating on getting maximum output from factories and yards already in operation. Some observers hint that this may indicate a more optimistic opinion on the part of war leaders as to the length of the war. So far the Presi dent and most others who have the facts in Washington have refused to make any predictions as to how long it will take to defeat the Axis, but lesser authorities here recently seem ed inclined to agree with the head of England’s War Production board, Sir Oliver' Lyttleton, whou admitted the TO OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS The new year gives us an opportunity to pause and reflect upon the fine spirit of cooperation given us by our friends and patrons in Clinton and elsewhere during the year now closing.
