(Price Administrator Leon Henderson, speaking in New York last night, said that 1942 war production would cost the nation more than $50,000,000,000 and soar to at least $75,000,000,000 in 1943.

Because of the vast outlay necessary, Henderson predicted the "level of living" in the United States would sink quickly below the lowest point of the last depression.) McKellar told the Senate yesterday that "practically all" of the allocated to the War Department in the pending money bill would be poured out in this calendar year. There were some exceptions, such as ordnance items, that could not be completed until later, he said. In addition, he said, most of the $1,502,000,000 allocated to the Maritime Commission would be translated into new cargo ships in that period and all of the direct Lend-Lease appropriations of would be spent before 1943. Senator LaFollette had questioned the wisdom of making such large appropriations so far in advance of the time when they would be spent, but said he would bow to the com war gases, mustard and lewisite.

Soon'after Pearl Harbor and long before the Normandie disaster, the organization started its campaign for more adequate protection of the water front. Extensive surveys by bitterly that it will probably be a long time before the western world will believe this sort of thing. Unfortunately, this is probably true; but it is worth noting that every prediction, every indication, furnished by the Chinese intelligence service thus far in the war has proved 100 percent accurate. It is the only Allied espionage service that has a real Fifth Column of considerable dimensions working behind the enemy lines.
