A letter argues railroads must receive measures to operate profitably, including dampening Justice Department pressure to dissolve the Association of American Railroads. It warns against reforms seen as hindering the system for bureaucrats and New Dealers' benefit.
The piece argues the President must hasten a summit among the Allied leaders to resolve conflicts over Italy Greece and Poland. It warns that delay or division risks Allied unity and a potential fiasco, urging concrete action despite divergent interests and war fatigue.
Railroads posted 1944 gross revenues of 9.5 billion dollars, the highest in their history, yet net income will be about 25 percent below 1943 due to higher wages materials taxes and absence of wartime rate increases. Despite this the industry shows strong solvency with reduced debt and doubled working capital though future postwar demand and tax changes may curb gains.
The piece critiques the postwar portions of the budget message, arguing for restraint and debt reduction. It notes projected deficits near 300 billion by July 1956, escalating interest costs, and proposes private industry and local procurement as attainable paths to some goals such as education, malnutrition relief, rural poverty reduction, and social security expansion.
The Stars and Stripes rise over Luzon two years nine months after Bataan as General Krueger's Sixth Army lands on Lingayen Gulf. Initial Japanese resistance appears light, but invaders face a tough, ongoing campaign toward Manila. MacArthur declares the decisive battle for the liberation of the Philippines is at hand.
The article notes the landing in Lingayen Gulf shifts the war into the enemy rear. It credits naval, air, and ground forces for a splendid start, saying the Philippines is cut from Japanese supply lines and Luzon fighting will proceed with available resources, moving toward avenging Bataan and Corregidor.
A Washington consultant reveals a baby broker market exploiting expectant mothers for adoption fees of up to 2000 dollars. Brokers offer cash and relinquishment papers, while reputable agencies scrutinize health, home conditions, and parental rights to ensure safe, ethical adoptions.
The piece analyzes the buzz bomb scare as echoed by Admiral Ingram's interview and press coverage. It notes no new evidence of attack plans, stresses public alarm versus precautions, and cites official statements that Germany is not more likely to attack now than in 1944.
Readers recall the 1862 fire that destroyed their home near the church and the chimes that once rang across the city. Garnet D. Saltimore of Troy shares childhood scenes, while other letters discuss government money, boxing patriotism, MacArthur's age, and tax return help in Troy community letters.
Washington columnist David Lawrence weighs how to define unconditional surrender for Germany. He notes debate over treating civilians versus military forces, argues for a clear plan, and warns against signaling weakness amid Allied offensives.
Washington column notes friction between President Roosevelt and adviser Jimmy Byrnes over battlefield and domestic policy. Byrnes bypassed departments, triggering tension with Morgenthau and Will Davis, while Roosevelt’s attempts to keep Byrnes in line stall. The piece also covers GOP tactics, parliamentary moves, and a lighthearted Nazi surrender gambit in France.
Reactions to President Roosevelt’s derisive remark about newspaper columnists reveal regret at his targeting of the craft.
