It is clear tnat Americans can 25 years and could not afford to live on a government salary. Batt has been under fire because the parent SKF company in Sweden has been shipping ball-bearings to Germany, without which the nazis could not build airplanes. While Batt's SKF company in Philadelphia is in no way responsible for letting the nazis have ball-bearings, many have felt that he might at least resign in protest against the policy of the Swedish affiliate. However, he hasn't. In contrast B.

FAY Associated Pkm War Analyst While armies at Germany'i western doorway wrestle fiercely in a temporary stalemate, an equally important battle of logistics goes on far behind that front.

The prizes are the great deep-water Atlantic ports, of which the allies have won only two and put only one into anything like full operation up to now. To this extent the Germans have attained some negative success in the battle of service and supply. They have denied the use of ports to the allies for weeks while the fighting front swept eastward and expanded north and south to multiply the demand for men and munitions. For this time-saving strategy (to give the nazis opportunity to mend their own west wall) they have paid a not exorbitant price a garrison of at Cherbourg, 36,000 at Brest, a correspondingly smaller number at smaller ports. Cherbourg is the only major port in allied hands known to be in anything like full operations.

Brest, most famous of World "War I ports, fell last week, with its facilities riddled by demolition charges. Now, weeks after the allies surged out from the Brittany peniusula, stubborn garrisons continue to deny to the allies the ports of St. Nazaire and Lo-rient. The result of all of this is that the main stream of allied supplies and reinforcements is squeezed through Cherbourg. The smaller ports handle what they can and, presumably, over-the-beach handling of men and material continues at some points.
