The Alps, rail tunnels Lotschberg Simplon and Gotthard, anchor defense and act as major transit routes for money, information, and agents, making Switzerland a critical but vulnerable neutral hub in the global conflict. Charles S Foltz Jr. notes the Alpine republic hosts both Axis and Allied agents amid a web of transactions and communications.

Hog Prices Rise Without Ceiling Action
Chicago reports no Office of Price Administration ceilings on hog prices, triggering further quotes gains. The top price reached $15.10 per hundred pounds, near a 22 year high, while the average price for all hog weights and classes neared a new high since 1920 at about $14.85. Heavy hogs sell lower per pound than lighter hogs though fat may be redirected to lard amid dwindling lard stocks. The domestic lard supply on September 1 stood at 82.8 million pounds versus 288.1 million a year earlier, with ceilings not needed unless approved by the Agriculture Department.

No Big Change in Allowables in Oil Likely
Texarkana Ark Sept 23 With market steady waste minimal and conditions unchanged with summer director A M Cromwell noted the commission expected possible major changes in production allowables for Arkansas controlled fields. Field allowables were to be fixed while new Texarkana gas condensate pool rules and sour gas production in Macedonia Dorcheat and MacKamie were discussed. The Texarkana field gas lacked heat value for commercial use but could be blended for fuel. sour gas in older fields remains just enough to drill wells. A sweetening plant by Arkansas Louisiana Gas may open a new market by November. MeeKamie steam plant won’t be ready for sour gas until January.
