...Highway. Even more illogical to the Committee is the vast horde of trucks held by the War Department, while the 4,500,000 civilian trucks are rapidly falling apart. This year civilian truckers got only 54,000 new trucks, about one-tenth their 1941 truck replacements, and only 31,000 vehicles are left in the reserve pool...

Another, perhaps more important factor: the phenomenal bags of German fighters (American bombers...

Significance: knowledge of its structure may well lead to synthetic manufacture of biotin. So far not more than one-tenth of an ounce of pure biotin has been isolated. Cost: more than...
