German war capacity collapses as the loss of the Ruhr Saar basin and Silesia removes major coal, coke, steel and synthetic fuel sources. British estimates show steel output plunging from 36 million tons to about 14 million, with only Bohemian and upper Silesian iron remaining. The loss of the Ruhr and Saar is portrayed as irreplaceable during the war.

Solons Hear Opposition to Flood Control
In Sacramento the Water Resources Committee of the State Senate heard opposition to a 31 million dollar bill for flood control costs tied to a federal food program. Critics argued the Table Mountain dam on the Sacramento river would devastate 150,000 salmon annually and question if any flood plan can save fish. Proponents argued flood protection justifies the project while amendments to consider fish and wildlife were discussed.
