However, Senate Majority Leader Alben Barkley popped the question that has had the capital worried because of those wild rumors about the Commander-in-chiefs health. How do you feu? asked tha Kentuckian. Great, replied Roosevelt. Ha added that he had got in 12 hours of sleep a night and plenty of sunshine. He was brown as a berry an.l buoyant as ever. However, congressional leaders noted that his face was a little thinner. Admiral Ross T. Mclntire, the Presidents physician, accepts responsibility for this.

This pillbox is of very heavy oncrete, quite small, extends only a foot or so above the ground and is extremely difficult to see from the air. The pillbox usually houses two machine guns, hitched together so that one man can fire both. One Nazi is in each pillbox so that if he is hit only one man is lost. But it takes almost a direct bomb hit to knock him out, so air pounding of them from overhead is not too effective.

JEEP For INVESTIGATION Government bureaucrats were taken for a sleigh ride behind closed doors when they attempted to justify budget requests for investigating jeeps, during hearings on the supplemental national defense bill. Engineering experts of the department of agriculture sprang the jeep scheme, claiming that they needed $15,000 to determine the value of the jeep for farm work as a substitute for tractor power.
