War effort praised as shared Allied achievement
Under Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson told the Association of the Bar of New York City that American workers share credit with the Army and Navy for wartime gains, citing the Leyte invasion as proof of progress while warning that victory remains the nation's top priority. He warned against complacency and stressed the need to finish the war before postwar planning and demobilization. The report notes 18,000 killed, wounded, or missing last week and highlights the infantryman's harsh front-line conditions.
