Line Advances
The joint British and Ameri

away, but was advancing at
about the same rate as the allied

Captured documents showed
that the Germans, as usual, left
Italians to cover their defeat.
It was indicated that only some
units, of an Italian coastal di

army north of Taormlna.
The Italians had been ordered
to hold a five-mile line running
inland from Roccalumera, 18

By EARL WHITLOCK
If you've been worrying
about any depression that's go
ing to hit the country after the
. war, set your
mind at rest. I
have just seen
one product I
suppose it will
sell for about
$1,000, that 10,-
000,000 men
are going to
want and they
are not going
to be complete
ly nanny until
they get it, either.
That is the Amphibian Jeep.
And what a wagonl A steel
boat body on that tough Jeep
chassis, rather shovel nosed. A
turtle back deck. And the
wheels are recessed for about
half their diameter, up into the
bottom of the boat. I didn't see
how it is propelled possibly
that's a military secret, as yet.
-But every man who has flick
ed a fish line over water, every
man who has taken up a cold
gun and gone after game of an
early morning, is going to
yearn for one. And there's ten
billion dollars worth of busi
ness ready for the manufactur
ers to take on, in that one item
alone.
' Someone tells me the army
slang for these contraptions is
"Seeps." .
Imagine a tough, little buggy
that will take you anywhere,
through . dense woods where
there's no road or up the face
of a mountain. And then, when
you get to that stream or lake,
there, away back or beyond, it
will jump In and carry you
across or it will swim you
around for an hour's trolling.

McNutt Announcement
In announcing the sweeping

McNutt said: . .
'The time has come when
every worker must justify him
self in terms of his contribution
to the war effort
"The necessary allocation of
additional men with critical
skills to war jobs and the fail
ure of many thousands of men
in critical labor shortage areas
to transfer to war work have
placed practical limits on our
ability to fill military calls with
safety to the war production
