Reconversion 1942 Prices To Be Held
Washington officials say reconversion prices can stay at 1942 levels in many cases even if wage controls are loosened. OPA economists note producers may absorb increased wages by early 1942 prices, with some firms expecting to price consumer goods for 1942 after Germany’s defeat. Wage hikes for steelworkers are under study, but a broader increase may fit within limits.

Capture Bridge Holds In Arnhem Area Amid Fierce Battle
German forces declared the First British Airborne Division largely wiped out near Arnhem while Americans clung to positions on both sides of the northern Waal Branch. Reports say the isolated airborne unit may still hold at least one river crossing as German counterattacks intensify. British and American forces press toward the Rhine crossings as a vital concrete bridge at the Waal becomes the focal point of a 24 hour struggle. Dutch and Canadian actions skirt the Rhine as Allied efforts advance toward Cologne and the Siegfried Line.
