has flown over 65 tactical recon
naisance missions since arriving in

the 10th, 11th land 12th oak leaf
clusters to his air medals for meri
torious achievement in combat fly
ing. Currently Lient. Fuiten has be.n
flying missions in the vicinity of
Aachen and Dusseldorf. Information
gathered from observations of Ger
man rail and river activity on these

THUMBNAIL OUTLOOK FOR 1945
Look for these developments: Farmers' cash income will approxi
mate that of 1944, which was $20 billions. Botth bituminous and
anthracite mining will run 5 below la year ago. Petroleum out
put will be upped 5. Iron and Steel will decline 10. A similar
drop is in prospect for chemical manufactures. Lumber output
will increase 5. The paper and shoe industries will run along
on the same levels as during 1944. Industrial employment will
be 7 less and factory pay rolls will decline 10. Greatest
single expansion will come in the construction and buildiing group,
which will show an increase of 25 from the low levels of 1944's
first six months. Look for a sharp drop in retail trade, especially
in luxury items. Electric power output will be reduced 5 as
war contracts are cut back. For basically the same reason rail
road freight ton mileage will fall 15.
