Carl Spaatz finds himself with a new honor for his collection, that of the Legion of Merit. He already had the DSC and the DFC. He won the DSC during World War I when he was a major in the 31st aero squadron of the AEF. In September, 1918, after a tour of duty, as an instructor in the American Aviation school at Issoudon, France, he was ordered back to the United States. Before he left, he wanted one last whack at the Germans and he got it. In a terrific air battle over St. Mihiel he brought down three enemy planes. The decoration followed. He obtained the DFC through a peacetime exploit. Back in 1929 when endurance flights were in vogue, he kept his plane, the Question Mark, aloft over Los Angeles just a few hours short of a full week. General Spaatz has been flying ever since 1916, just two years after he was commissioned at West Point. He spent those two years with the infantry out in Hawaii. After World War I he was made head of Kelly Field, Texas. He has gained rank as he went along. He is 52. His latest award is for the organization work he did as chief of the American air force in the European theater, a post which he was assigned in July, 1942. The Germans of late have been learning to their horror just what a swell job that was. the i sunnandaeg, oriAnglo-- day of the sun, the first day of the week having been dedicated to the sun by the pagans; Monday, from monandaeg, day of the moon; from tiwesdaeg, Tuesday, Tiw, the god of war; Wednesfrom Odin, wodnesdaeg, day, the god of storms; Thursday, thunresdaeg, day of Thor, the frige-dae- g, god of thunder; Friday, day of Freya, goddess of HARSH LAXATIVES? RATION POINTS: Increased Sharply Because of declining production, the office of price administration has raised the point value of butter from 12 to 16 points, the total allotment of red points per person each week. At the same time increases in points on nine items, and reductions in four others were announced. The following increases have been ordered, based on the No. 2 size can: Apricots, from 27 to 36 points; red sour cherries, 14 to 25; other cherries, 14 to 23 ; figs, 13 to 21 ; grapefruit juice, 10 to 18; plums and prunes, 7 to 15 points. Grape juice was raised from 3 to 6 points a quart. Asparagus and mushrooms also were elevated in point value. Reductions were ordered for canned green or wax beans, down from 10 to 8 points for the No. 2 can; com, from 16 to 13, except for which whole kernel vacuum-packewent down fro 20 to 18 points.

ITALY: Take Big Air Base Clinging stubbornly to the mountainous terrain, German small artillery and machine gunners slowed the progress of Lieut. Gen. Mark Clarks advancing Fifth army in the Naples area. The whole German line facing the Fifth army, however, was in danger of encirclement, following the British Eighth armys capture of Foggia, 80 miles to the northeast. With the British threatening their rear, the Nazis could continue to hold out only so long as it would take Montgomerys men to cross the mountains and get behind their backs. Thus, a slow and bloody German withdrawal up the Italian mainland loomed. . Possession of Foggia gave the Allies a network of airfields from which they could blast southern Germany and the Balkans. From Foggia, Munich is 500 miles, Vienna with its airplane factories 465 miles, and the Ploesti oil fields of Rumania 580 miles. Feet in Both Camps With the restoration of Fascism in northern Italy under German auspices and the re- ported recognition of King Victor Emmanuels government as a partner by the Allies, Italy appar ently has stuck a foot in both camps.

SERGEJ INGR, commander-in-chief of the Czechoslovak army, has a broad, kindly face with sad eyes. Yet in his broadcast to Czech Army Chief Utters Fierce Old cries: Beat Hussite Battle Cry them, kill them, leave none alive! Referring to the coming day of uprising he says, Everyone should look around now for the most appropriate weapon to harm the Germans most. If there is no firearm at hand, any other kind of weapon that cuts, stabs or hits should be prepared and hidden. The generals career makes his righteous wrath sufficiently plain and quite understandable. Born in Moravia, into Austrian oppression, Ingr began fighting Germans in the First World war. He was a lad of 20 when he fled from Austria to enlist in the Serbian division at Odessa, Russia. Later he joined the Czechoslovak army, organized in Russia, and received the rank of a lieutenant of infantry. After Russia faded out in 1917, he found his way to France and served as company commander in a Czechoslovak regiment there. He was 24 when the happy year 1918 brought his country its freedom.

Strong to a gathering of ranking labor leaders and newspaper executives. As chief of military intelligence, General Strong revealed that the Nazis now have three times as many combat divisions as they had when they invaded Poland, and their domination of conquered countries has given them a labor force of 35 million workers. Despite recent heavy losses, the Nazis air force exceeds its pre-wstrength. Japan can call upon four million soldiers for action, General Strong said, and, like the Nazis, her conquests have given her a vast pool of manpower and natural resources, ar RUSSIA: Last Ditch ABOUT RUBBER Heat and friction ar the greatest enemies of rubber.

The Nazis sought to wipe out these detachments before they could establish footholds. In the oil rich Caucasus, the last German troops were thrown out, relieving the threat to the Russian fuel supply. In all the Reds have regained over 300,000 miles of the territory overrun by the Nazis. m'M 303333 |
