Shaw Says Simplified Spelling Could Fund Allied War Effort
George Bernard Shaw writes in the Times letter column that simplifying spelling would cut costs enough to cover part of the Allied offensive and the war. He cites replacing "phone" with "tone" and envisions a 42 letter alphabet to spell words with fewer letters. The savings, he argues, could finance multiple wars or more Shakespearean output.

Seek Bill To Aid Operators Of Gold Mines
Western members of Congress and mining representatives urged the Senate Mining Committee to approve S344 to grant a moratorium on obligations for mines shut by the War Production Board. The bill would let operators borrow from the Reconstruction Finance Corp to cover costs and protect properties until after the war. Senator Murray argued the WPB order caused chaos and could wipe out the industry without relief. Analysts said the measure would pause payments for a year after the war.
