A wartime editorial urges American women to volunteer for all military branches, noting proved value, increased quotas, and the need to counter male reluctance, rumors, and wage temptations. It cites British, Russian and Chinese women as examples and calls for nationwide education and persistence to meet wartime needs.
Churchill and Stalin reportedly agree on a future strategy for Germany and a postwar order. The article argues a concert of strongest powers backed by police power is needed to deter aggressors, and emphasizes disarming Germany and Japan to prevent a repeat of past mistakes.
An analysis argues that while land borders should be tightened, the key target is Germanys vast wartime production facility. It warns disarming Germany and preventing rearmament hinges on monitoring this plant, as its revival would pose the real threat, more than territorial concessions. The piece urges vigilance and a firm approach to curb rearmament.
Redemption of E F and G bonds in early November reached nearly 23 percent of sales, with thirteen percent for the current year and three and a half percent last year. The pattern suggests possible inflation risks and greater Treasury reliance on banks if redemptions rise, prompting calls for lower individual sales quotas and alternative financing if war bonds are to remain a stable investment rather than a cash drag.
The piece recalls trench warfare parallels in Italy with 25 year old lessons from World War One. It notes mud and foxholes in places, mobile combat elsewhere, and the severe Russian front winters as a contrast. The essay reflects home front stoicism and credits medical advances for reducing death tolls, citing General Sherman’s enduring view on war.
Thousands of American youths hold part or full time jobs with pay checks far higher than they will earn later. The piece warns of lasting bad work habits and risky recreation as labor scarcity fades, notes schools guiding youth toward prudent use of earnings, and foresees social strain when wartime pay ends including dependent adults and higher wages among women and factory workers. It also briefly references political campaign weight loss and a crude jab at women in politics.
The Buffalo News laments wasted canned goods and meat in warehouses as the nation urges conservation. It cites Army ordered destruction of tomatoes and beans rotting in Rochester, urging accountability for mismanagement amid rationing and Lend-Lease.

Additional letters touch on soldier addresses and a wartime Thanksgiving anecdote from Evangeline.
Allied commanders on the Italian front say blue skies are essential for air support to break through mountain positions where artillery is limited. With adverse conditions, infantry must press on inch by inch while German forces reportedly counterattack and shift reserves as rains and weather delay full use of airpower.
Former Kansas governor Alf Landon faced a barrage of queries from G O P freshmen on Wendell Willkie and the 1944 nomination. He read a dull diatribe against the New Deal then declined to name Willkie, denying any certainty on the party’s nominee, while recounting a near cabinet appointment and a canceled White House luncheon with Frank Knox.
Diplomatic chatter hints at a biting satire in Sidney Baron’s One Whirl from State Department insiders. Ohio hopes lift Taft or Bricker as GOP standard bearer. Reynolds recalls Huey Long, noting a shared past in politics and showmanship.
Washington analysis notes inconsistency as Senate shifts stance on federal control of soldier voting for 1944 election. After outlining a mechanism, it leaves the matter to states, likely forcing governors to call special sessions if legislatures do not meet. The change links to southern Democrats and states rights Republicans, contrasting with views on poll tax legality. Continued on Page Thirteen.
