He warns invasion of the homeland may involve unprecedented aerial bombardment and mass destruction, weaponized by 2,060,000 tons of bombs next year, risking a collapse of Japanese industry before invasion.

Odd Turns of Luck in the Secret Service Draft
Washington reports a draft anomaly where Secret Service staff tied to the White House, including supervising agent Michael F. Reilly, were sent into the Navy after a 1943 order. The plan aimed to clear their records with draft boards while preserving Treasury credibility. Some agents resisted, fearing loss of commissions they had been offered.

Allies Discover Hitler’s Model Orphans Home In Hohehorst
Fifty one towheaded children play on the grounds of a grand Hohehorst estate in northern Germany. Built as a lavish Nazi run maternity home, it housed the offspring of top SS and Gauleiter partners.

The passage argues that mothers often allow children to grow, but spouses require similar patience as men mature emotionally.
