Defeat At Arnhem
Dims Hope of 1944
Victory in Europe
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 (AP)
The failure of allied airborne
troops at Arnhem, in the opinion
of OWI Director Elmer Davis,
make "more remote" the chances
of victory in Europe this year.
Davis said the "Arnhem af
fair" had made out of date an
OWI report which had predicted
Germany would go down "before,
or not long after, the end of
1944."
He referred to the heroic 11
day struggles to hold a bridge
head across the Rhino at Arn
hem, Holland, against superior
forces.
"Everybody agrees," Davis told
reporters yesterday, that the de
feat of the heroic airborne divi
sion makes German collapse
"more remote than when our re
port was put together" three
weeks ago.
The report was not intended
for .publication, but it "leaked"
aftej- 8,000 eonles were prepared
and some 4,000 were distributed
to persons in the advertising bus
iness. On rationing, the survey gave
these as probable trends follow

Butter and sugar Probably
will remain rationed.
Cheese, fats, milk and cream,
and better grade meats Short
supplies for first six months, with
rationing uncertain, but plenti

Processed foods, fresh fruits
and vegetables Adequate sup
