Abandonment o f the enormous quantity of equipment on the fighting fronts of Europe will mean waste o f millions of dollars, but it will probably result in shortening the global war and consequently save thousands lives, be cause munitions can be made much more quick ly in American factories and shipped to the or ient than they can be gathered from all parts of Europe, overhauled and sent to the Pacific. There is doubt as to whether the equipment could be satisfactorily salvaged, so that it will probably be sold in the countries in which it is abandoned. Military men feel that months wo uld be required to move it to the Pacific theater _ o f operations. With the war moving at such a rapid pace in the Pacific, troops there will be in a position to use large quantities o f equip ment soon. Although the program will shorten the war and save lives, civilians must realize that the plan will require continued large-scale product ion of military goods and result in slower con version to peace-time manufacturing. However, in the final analysis, everyone will be benefit- ted, with the exception o f a few profiteers, be cause the final conclusion o f the conflict will mean the resumption o f normal lives for most o f us. r Frances Langford, star o f radio, stage and screen christens Lockheed Bomber ‘‘ March o f Dimes,” at opening o f The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis’ 1945 Fund-Raising Appeal, January 14-31.

He had attended college, was well dressed and had lived in several big cities. The other man was nearer 30. spoke with the accent of the delta country and was obviously a prac t ic e dirt farmer with very limited schooling. The conversation was about rice. The older man insisted that rice was not grown in Arkansas. " I t would be so foolish.” he said scornfully.
