Salvage Meeting Addresses Paper Shortage Crisis
Salvaga heads a serious Taylor County Defense Council meeting led by Burman T. Mitchell state executive secretary of the War Production Board. He warns the scrap paper shortage is long term with 80 mills dependent on scrap supplies and a 667000 ton monthly quota rarely met, as beachheads and combat areas are tapped for discarded packing materials. Paul Defenbaugh reports six tons collected in Grafton last Saturday, a creditable showing amid months of dormancy, with thanks to State Road Commission officials and local merchants.

Change in Allied Command Foretold by U S and British Officers
The piece notes that British critics were wrong about post invasion command. It states Eisenhowers move to France and personal leadership made the change inevitable. Montgomery would lead initial ground forces while Americans built strength, then an American led army group would take over for simplified command. Accidental US deaths rose 1,600 to 97,500 in 1943.
