A column mix covers the FBI’s unfinished kidnapping cases, Goebbels era commentary on This Is the Enemy, Eddie Davis and Road to Morocco credits, notes on Louise Atwill, and Major General Marshall's quiet Senate briefing. It notes small North Africa losses, Darlan’s role, Murphy’s diplomacy work, and optimism on Allied airpower and Buna progress.

A tribute to Dan J. Callaghan, admiral who died in the line of battle in the South Pacific. The poem recalls his leadership, the fierce clash with Japanese forces, and the impact of his sacrifice on naval morale and the fight for victory. It highlights Halsey’s role and the wide act of defiance by Callaghan during a night engagement.
The War Production Commission advocates efficient farming, soil conservation, and fertilizer use to combat labor shortages and prevent soil mining. It notes potential 10 to 30 percent crop gains from rotation, legumes, phosphorus and potash, terracing, and contour plowing.
A satirical roundup mocks wartime rationing issues with quirky anecdotes about animal trainers, a bloodhound sheriff, a 1942 chop house, and a beef dinner committee. It lampoons President Roosevelt and General Rommel with punning headlines and jokes about war coverage and architecture.
The text discusses how the sun's roar is inaudible through air liquids or solids and proposes light travels via a non material Ether.
