The Hitlerite flag atop Elbrus unpacks a Prussian myth
War analyst DeWitt Mackenzie probes the Elbrus ascent as Nazi propaganda. He links it to Prussian psychology, a longing for dominance, and the Aryan myth, noting similar flag displays on Paris Eiffel Tower and Olympia, Greece, and Berchtesgaden. The piece argues Nazism embodies a supremacist urge to be seen on top.

Meatless day period looms in Roosevelt plan
President Roosevelt said a weekly meatless day could free 30 to 40 cargo ships for munitions and transport if instituted. He noted uncertainty on timing as transportation effects are studied and cited talks with New Zealand Prime Minister Peter Fraser. A meatless day would shift meat movement to Atlantic routes while reducing imports from New Zealand Australia and Argentina. In Williamsport the carpenters voted to end a five day strike at the Pennsylvania Ordnance Works accepting 1.243 per hour raise amid continued consideration of higher pay.
