War program details and draft impact on war effort
War Food Administration chief Marvin Jones outlined supports to lift egg prices in distressed areas, with purchases planned from 7 to 32 cents per dozen and storage expansion for frozen eggs.

South America cash balance boosts postwar trade
South America's growing stockpile of gold and foreign exchange, dominated by dollars, is shaping postwar economic activity. The U S Commerce Department says Latin American nations hold more than 2 billion dollars in cash that could fund foreign trade after wartime production ends. In 1943 the U S bought 1.3 billion and sold 800 million in the region, leaving a roughly 500 million balance. Penicillin production expands with 21 new plants costing 20 million dollars to treat millions of armed forces, but civilian access remains limited to those not helped by sulfa drugs. Costs have fallen 84 percent, yet supply remains tighter than demand due to mold-derived production limits.
