Judge Alfred J. Talley warned in a public address that prohibition drives crime as the nation faces a war more alarming than the one with Germany. Reports from New York state a $50 million Christmas bonus for Wall Street clerks and messengers. The Empress of Scotland sailed from New York with 500 passengers on a 120 day world cruise. The United States lost 318 ships in 1942, the most in a single year of enemy attacks.
