After a lull of five months, more than 1,000 carrier planes from the
Pacific fleet returned to direct attacks upon Tokyo. This map graphically
illustrates what they had already been given. The data is based on toll
taken by B-29s. Percentages show industries destroyed.
TRUMAN:
And Big Three
Through chilled North Atlantic
waters, President Truman arrived
in Potsdam to keep his rendezvous
with Prime Minister Churchill and
Marshal Stalin.
It is believed that they will be
concerned with problems dealing
with control of Germany, planned
on long-range basis; disposition of
territories—Italian and some 30 dis
puted boundaries to be settled;
political and economic questions,
including Italy peace terms, what
to do with Spain and other “neu
trals,” which might include Japan.
Diplomats say that the Big Three,
while discussing the San Fran
cisco conference, their present work
will not tie in directly with the
West Coast conference and United
Nations charter.
Berlin Rule
The rule in Berlin has been split,
and for the first time the American
and British military governments
have moved in and taken up their
responsibilities in the German capi
tal.
Rules and regulations established
in American and British zones of
Berlin, as established by the Red
army, will remain in effect until
General Clay and General Lyne and
their staffs can formulate perma
nent methods of operation. Russian
policy has been declared to be
more realistic than those adopted
by other Allies in other sections, and
high sources seem to think there
will be little change made in Ber
lin.
Each Allied military government
will provide food, coal and other
necessities from their part of oc
cupied Germany to take care of
German civilians within Berlin.
There will be exchanges of differ
ent kinds of goods among the Brit
ish, American, French and Russian
authorities due to scarcities of
some items in different sections.
BIG HOMECOMING:
Ahead of Schedule
When eight transports docked in
New York one day in mid-month,
they brought back 35,000 happy vet
erans of the European war—the
largest number returned in a single
day since V-E Day. Twenty-eight
thousand soldiers were Americans,
7,000 Canadians. Five infantry regi
ments, a hospital unit, various
groups of the 8th air force, and nu
merous smaller units were among
the arrivals. The number of troops
now back in the states is approach
ing the half million mark.
The giant yueen Mary carried
more than 15,000 men, includ
ing 6,000 of the Canadian contingent.
The West Point, which is the navy’s
largest transport, had 7,600 soldiers
aboard, and the John Ericcson about
the same number. Three thousand
men came home on the James
Parker, and four smaller trans
ports returned a total of 1,500.
Aboard the West Point were 33
men who were not happy about the
trip. They were Japanese diplo
mats taken into custody in Europe.
An unlisted passenger was Nat
ale Piavallo, nine-year-old Italian
orphan, who was smuggled aboard
the General Bliss by soldiers of the
8th division. He was liberated from
a German prison camp by Ameri
can troops. He will be placed in a
private home pending decision of
immigration authorities.
‘DIES’ COMMITTEE:
Neiv Chairman
Representative Wood (Dem., Ga.)
has been elected by the house to
the chairmanship of the committee
on un-American activities, succeed
ing Representative Hart (Dem.,
N. J.), who resigned due to ill
health.
Representative Rankin, who has
been acting chairman of the group
since Hart resigned, called Repre
sentative Wood, outstanding and one
of the finest Americans in the house.
Moncke Business
A “monkey wrench” is not so f
named because it is a handy thing |
to monkey with. The tool was in
vented by a London blacksmith,
Charles Moncke, and named after
him. The origin of the word was
later obscured and corrupted into
“monkey.”
JITTERY JAPS:
Get More So
Japan homeland has become jit
tery over continued large-scale air
assaults against Tokyo and other in
dustrial centers of its islands.
Broadcasts, changing from hour to
hour, all indicate that Japan ex
pects invasion of the mainland at
any minute by Allies.
Military spokesman for Japan ad
mitted that to defend the islands
it would be necessary for the Im
perial government to devise some
adequate defense of the homeland
against continued air attacks.
Navy Score
The U. S. navy alone has de
stroyed more than 17,000 Japanese
planes since Pearl Harbor, Under
secretary Artemus L. Gates of the
navy has reported. During the same
period the American fleet plane loss
has been approximated at 2,700. It
is believed that the army has ac
counted for as many Jap planes,
considering the large number in
the last few days.
Navy carriers now total nearly 100
with a tonnage of 1,250.000, the
largest single portion of total com
bat tonnage. More than 26,000 air
craft built since Pearl Harbor were
deployed to the fleet last year.
TYPHOON:
Hits U. S. Fleet
Five weeks after a raging typhoon
lashed Admiral Halsey’s 3rd Fleet
with 138-mile-an-hour winds virtual
ly every damaged ship (there were
21 hit) was back in action. The
havoc wrought by the storm was de
scribed as greater than any Jap
blow ever administered to the fleet.
The cruiser Pittsburgh miracu
lously stayed afloat after its bow was
torn off in the churning sea. It has
now been refitted for action.
Among the damaged ships re
paired and back in action were three
fast battleships and two Essex class
carriers. Only one life was report
ed lost.
Adm. Chester Nimitz’ announce
ment of the incident did not specify
where the typhoon struck but pre
sumably it was in the western Pa
cific area between Okinawa and the
Philippines. This area is known as
the “typhoon cradle” where violent I
storms strike without warning.
JAP HOSPITAL SHIP:
In Bad Shape
A Japanese hospital ship, boarded i
by an American naval party was j
found to be dirty and overrun with
vermin. Food and medical supplies
were entirely inadequate for the
1,000 patients, who had been re- !
moved from Wake Island under
truce.
Many of the Japs appeared to be
starving. A doctor admitted that
many would die during the night.
While the sick men were kept
clean, the wards and galleys were
filthy and insect-infested, and the
standard of cleanliness on the ship
was below par everywhere. A stench
emanated from the ship that could
be smelled 1,000 yards away.
Curiously, the Jap officers were
polite and anxious to please. The
skipper offered American officers
tea and liquor. He was interested
in American baseball, as he had
played third base on a Jap navy
team, and was especially inter
ested in the present standing of
the Yankees.
CONVERSION POST:
To Treasury
The Office of War Mobilization
and Reconversion will become a
part of the treasury department
when Fred M. Vinson, present direc
tor, becomes secretary of the treas
ury, according to Washington.
Vinson has already indicated that
he intended to keep his top OWMR
personnel. Eventually treasury of
ficials look for a further consolida
tion of some of the independent fiscal
agencies into the treasury.
Needless Eyestrain
Discourage the youngsters from
the bad habit of reading funnies on
the floor and you’ll protect them
from the risk of needless eyestrain.
One rule of “see-ability” demands
that the reading page should be
approximately 14 inches away from
the eyes.

DO’S AND DON’TS
The future means advancement but the past
means achievement. Youth would show wisdom to
respect old age.
Feed Practices
If you want to produce hay or
grass silage, alfalfa should have a
prominent place in the mixture,
provided the soil is well drained,
aot too heavy and is well limed and
ertilized. If the soil tends to be
■noist and heavy, include Ladino
:Iover. The first growth may be cut
'or hay in the spring, then the sod
pastured the rest of the season. But
•otation grazing should be followed
vith both these crops, with a long
period of recovery between graz

Wyoming guaranteed women suf

A picturesque legend revolves
about the Guatemalan quetzal. The
quetzal, an almost extinct bird, sym
bolizes the fierce Guatemalan love
of freedom in that it quickly dies ir

Save Juice
Avoid loss of juice in preparing '
meat, poultry, and fish by never
soaking in water. Meat may need
to be wiped off wdth a clean moist
cloth, and poultry or fish may need
to be rinsed after cleaning.
Deer Crowding Hazard
To Herd Population
Ten per cent of all of Wisconsin’s
millions of acres of deer country
creates the entire present Wisconsin
deer problem and Wisconsin can
have no more deer than the 10 per
cent of the land permits, the con
servation department said. Wiscon- [
sin deer insist on congregating on ■
10 per cent of their range during
severe winter weather and the total
deer population depends on how
many animals can annually sur
vive their self-imposed confinement
on the food depleted concentration
aeas.
The department emphasized that
it has found no way to change deer
nature. The animals have no food
problem as long as they roam about
freely on their great range, as they
do in summer. But in periods of
deep snow, a condition that prevails
for long periods in most winters,
deer concentrate in shelter area's
that they have used for many gen
erations and either survive or die
according to the supply of food
available in their places of concen
tration. The department estimates
that there are more than 500 such
concentration areas in the state,
ranging from small to miles in size.
Wet Cleaning Tidies
Cotton Wash Dresses
Some cotton wash dresses will not
wash satisfactorily — for instance
those which will shrink a good deal,
or those with colors that aren’t fast.
In the long run, cottons do not dry
clean very satisfactorily; but your
dry cleaner has another trick up his
sleeve which is neither washing or
dry cleaning—that is, wet cleaning.
In wet cleaning, special soaps
and lukewarm water are used.
The garment or fabric is laid out
on a board and brushed by hand
gently. It is also important that
the process be completed quickly.
This is quite different from the
lengthy treatment with warmer wa
ter involved in washing. Even non
fast colors can often be handled
satisfactorily under these circum
stances.
Homemakers can take a tip from
the dry cleaner to keep wash clothes
in condition between washing, or
postpone washing or pressing when
the garment is only wrinkled, by
sponging lightly immediately on re
moving.
Transport Differs
On water as on land, all kinds of
methods of transportation are found
among the republics to the south.
High up on Lake Titicaca, 12,500 feet
above sea level, sail traditional “to
tora” boats, named after the reeds
from which they are woven. These
boats or “balsas” glide along un
der sails also made of totora, while
river boats, ocean-going freighters,
and barges are other links of Latin
America with the world’s com
merce. On the rim of the continent
are great ports on whose modern
docks ocean liners load and un
load precious merchandise. Above it
all is heard the hum of planes, the
hundreds of passenger and freight
planes that fly daily on the sky lanes
of the Americas. Trips that used to
take many days by mule pack can
be made in an hour or two by air.
From Mendoza, Argentina, planes
make the hop over the Andes to
Chile. From La Paz they cut swift
ly overland to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
From Barranquilla, Colombia, they
wing over the Caribbean to Havana
and Miami. In 1943 there were 113,
929 miles of air routes in 20 Latin
American countries. “Even though
the challenge that lies ahead in the
field of transportation is formidable,
by working together in the inter
American spirit of cooperation” the
Americas have and can accomplish
what might have seemed impossible.
Candy Output
By 1941, there were more than
1,200 candy manufacturers, produc
ing more than 2% billion pounds of
candy in more than 2,000 different
types, .with a wholesale value of 500 1
million dollars.
Window Washing
A little vinegar stirred into the
water used for washing windows in
the wintertime helps to keep the
water from freezing.

Foreign Insurance
The life insurance companies of
the United States have never shown
any great inclination to write life
insurance in foreign countries, add
ing that today there are few Ameri
can companies operating outside the
continental limits of the United
States. Several Canadian companies,
however, have a fairly large life in
surance portfolio overseas. In this
connection the countries chosen by
the United States and Canadian com
panies operating in the foreign field
are generally more stable and con
sequently there is less risk of dis
turbance to foreign corporations in
such countries.

who were the children of fathei
bluejay and mother bluejay. The
family lived in a little nest at the top
of an old maple tree. One day when
mother and father were hunting for
worms, the three children climbed
on a limb and were going to try to
fly. Now there was one little blue
• jay who thought he knew everything,
he stood up straight and quickly
jumped from the limb. Little brother
was hurt badly.
Soon mother and father bluejay
came home. They found their son at
the bottom of the old maple tree.
They picked him up quickly and
flew up to their nest. And then "The
Three Little Bluejays” never tried to
fly without their parents’ permission.
