Production Is Key To Strength
The piece argues that strong production is essential to prevent or end future wars at the lowest cost in American lives. It calls for incentives to produce, fair profits for investors, fair wages, protections for inventors, and fair prices to raise living standards for all Americans.

Polio protection from gamma globulin lasts longer

Doses are larger than in Hammon studies, and gamma globulin remains the only proven polio defense until trial vaccines prove effective. Supplies are allocated by the Office of Defense Mobilization and aimed at neighborhoods, housing, schools, camps, and entire communities.
