(Chicago Tribune)
"My grandpap was in the

to impress the neighbors with
his spryncss when he acci
dentally knocked a cord of
wood oft grandmaw's back."
Gen. Elsenhower, European
Invasion commander, predicts
the war as far as Germany Is
concerned, will be over next
year. The Vice President, he

notions, agrees. That other
military expert, H. Hopkins, de

duly elected to anything, a yet,

The Beat News Yet
The best war news for a long time Is General
Eisenhower's1 confident prediction that the war In
Europe will be won in 1944.
There have been various predictions, arm-chair,
typewriter, horse-hair and what have you? And
they have been bandied about for a long time. . , .
But here Is one that MEANS something.
Not only because General Eisenhower knows
the actual conditions in Europe, but because he is
a man of extreme reliability and sound judgment
And more important than anything else perhaps
he is the man who will have to carry put the job,
and be responsible for it. -
It is inconceivable, therefore, that the General

DEVELOPMENT of labor-saving ' maphines and

ahead faster than ever with the advent of war,
and may help to magnify the post-war employment

Industrial leaders, along, with' their' worry over
what to do with the thousands of women who have
voiced their desire to remain at work after the war,
now are wondering what to do about the gadjets

Nor will any future action of

only point of this cold truth Is
we are still tn the preparatory

two years after Its start.
That none of us has fully ap

Is due to several natural reasons.
In the first place, collapse of
the German war mactvne was
anticipated because of a short
age of oil and raw materials, and
this proved unjustified.
Secondly, the air corps ex
pected bombings of German
cities to bring a possible capitu

and this may come any day, but
it has not come yet.
Furthermore, it was wise and
