Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: Indiana State Police gather slot machines, pinball machines, and similar devices so that the metals they contain can be reused. Trial of suspected Nazi saboteur(s) taking place. Davis of the Office of War Information is publishing twice-daily bulletins to keep the public informed. Oil wells in southwestern Indiana are producing almost 40,000 barrels per day. A suggestion that consumers buy unripe tomatoes and let them ripen at home on windowsills. Tomatoes are usually left on railroad cars to ripen; if people buy them green, the cars will be freed up sooner. Public asks why pork prices keep rising if 60 million pigs are expected in the next crop. Knechts elephant responds that most of the pork goes to American and Allied soldiers and sailors.
Davis, Elmer Holmes, 1890-1958; Barnhart, Hugh A. (Hugh Arthur), 1892-1986
