Hutchison, com-mander of one of the wings of Lieut. Gen. George Kenny's bomber force In the New Guinea interior, now en route to his home In Madison, Wis., on leave, told me of a new tech-nique evolved on the spur of the moment by one of his night fighter pilots. The technique, however, is not recommended too highly for re-peat performances. This night fight-er took off to attack Jap bombers which were raiding Wake Island. Anti-aircra- ft gunners and search-light crews could hear his engine purring in the sky. Suddenly, over the radio they heard the pilot shout: "I am coming Into searchlightsl For Pete's sake shoot this off my tail." The fighter pilot roared Into the searchlights' beams with the Jap bomber close behind. The antl-- aircraft crews shot oil the Jap's tail. There's a big; treasure hunt going on at Lae, British New Guinea. Not lor Guinea gold, but for 200 cases Df prewar Scotch whiskey buried there by Manager Burns, of Philip Company, before the Jap invasion. Burns, who Is now In England with the RAF, intends returning after the war to dig up his cache. The Yanks, with everything from entrenching tools to bulldozers, meanwhile are ripping up the Jungle, hoping to beat aim to the swag. Some New Guinea points have a teal Broadway flavor these days. In one day I bumped into Maj. Abe Bchechter, former bigshot at NBC; Bgt. George McLemore, noted iports columnist, now a combat cor-respondent; Lieut. Jack Miley, the iports writer, still of approximately the same tonnage as the heavy truiscr on which he is serving; Lieut.

Jack Cross, Westchester tounty journalist (husband of Pow-ir- s model Betty Rlddell) and Capt. Dick Krollck, also a Journalist and tabitue Of East 45th street's famous Pen and Pencil bar; Eddie Dowl-ng-'s son, Jack, war correspondent tor a Chicago newspaper; Douglaa (Wrongway) Corrigan, ferrying planes for the Fifth air force, and Tol.

One f the biggest successes in New 3uinea, who, wiseacres thought, would be a flop, was Judith Ander-lo- n, who presented Shakespeare to the GIs, and they loved it. . . . Lee Vanatte, INS daredevil flying corre-iponde- nt with the Far East air force, tells the story of a combat lergeant who. physically unfit for further fighting, was transferred to army post office censorship to as-lu-duties ordinarily assigned to women. The disgruntled, disgusted lergeant reported to his command-ing officer, "Sir, I have come to re-place a WAC!" Jack Benny got plenty of belly-laug-from General MacArthur's GIs with his crack: "I am an old-tim- er in these Pacific Islands I used to spend weekends at Cata-lina- ." . . . Lt Cmdr.

CUTTER VACCINES & SERD Checks of Steel A Cleveland company presented the three winners of a contest held in 1932 with their prize money in a form that was symbolic of the firm's welding business steel checks on which steel letters and figures were welded. Although two feet long, a foot wide and three-sixteent- hs of an inch thick, the checks were honored and then can-celed with a sub-machi- gun, the word "Paid" being spelled out with bullet holes.

Since his return from the Alaska trip, Roosevelt is seeing more people than In the last six months, is growing more aware of domestic Issues. 00 DUMBARTON OAKS Secretary Hull's message to the jpening Dumbarton Oaks peace par-ley had whole paragraphs parallel-ing Woodrow Wilson' statement of January 16, 1920, on the eve of the Brst League of Nations council meeting. . . . "It Is our task here," Hull said, "to help lay the founda-tions upon which, after victory, peace, freedom and a growing pros-perity may be built for generations to come." . . . Twenty-fou- r years igo, Wilson said: "It will bring the League of Nations into being as a living force devoted to the task of assisting the peoples of all countries In their desire for peace, pros-perity and happiness." INDIAN TYPHOON When Amb. William Phillips' fa-mous letter advising Roosevelt that India was a U. S. problem leaked Into print, the British government lent Instructions to all British con-suls in this country to inspire let-ters to editors, plus editorials in the local press. One man In New York slone wrote 76 letters to different newspapers. . . . Later, British con-suls sent copies of editorials, etc., to the British Embassy, with accom-panying notes, showing what a good job they had done. ... In the Em-bassy, Jossleyn Hennessy, British public relations man for India, left off the accompanying notes, sent the editorials to Sir Olaf Caroe In New Delhi, so Sir Olaf could see what a food job Hennessy had been doing. Sir Olaf then sent them to London. ... Sir Olaf also cabled London that he had been able to keep the Phil-tip- s letter out of India so far, but "under existing conditions" it was ure to be smuggled in, in which case it would be published by the Indian press and there was nothing be could do to stop It. ... By "existing conditions," Caroe meant anti-Britis- h subversion on the part of Indian officials who smuggle news Into India despite censorship. Once Inside India, the British can't pre-vent publication in Indian new-spapers.' o o o WASHINGTON PERSONALITIES Breath-takin- g Bob Gros, California lecturer, has the faculty of coming to the nation's capital every year and interviewing more big-wig- s per hour than anyone else In the U.S.A. He has just finished one of his breathless trips and sizes up per-formers on the Washington merry-go-roun- d as follows: Wendell Willkie "The thlnklng-es- t, guttiest guy on the merry-go-roun-politically unastute." British Ambassador Lord Halifax "Worst dressed, but one of the most charming. His sleeves were patched with red thread, he had on almost threadbare gabardine pants." Donald Nelson "Determined that small Industry shall have a chance to reconvert now, before the ar-mistice." Economic Stabilizer Fred Vinson "The best balanced." Secretary of the Navy Forrestal "Quick, likable, expounds this phi-losophy: 'Administration consists 95 per cent of smoothing out human frictions. The secret of American success is driving, restless energy that makes you have ulcers.' " Secretary of War Stimson "The most arbitrary." Small Business Administrator Maury Maverick "The most two-flst- ed and dynamic." Jim Farley "The most realistic political analyst, the most bluntly and disarmingly frank." In general, Gros found Washing-ton taking the war in its stride; officialdom much more settled dowa than last year; less excitement, less hysteria, more efficiency. MERRY-GO-ROUN- D C, Senator Hiram Johnson, who rare-ly appears on the senate floor any more, still occasionally attends night baseball games at Griffith sta-dium. . . . Other ball fans are Sena-tors Chandler of Kentucky, Walsh of New Jersey, Stewart of Tennes-see, and Mead of New York, all frequent box-holde- at the ball park. C John L. Lewis faces the greatest rebellion against him In years when the United Mine Workers hold their annual convention In Cincinnati. A few drops of vinegar or lemon juice added to the water used in poaching eggs will help hold them together. If anyone has a rusty wire clothes line which can not be re-placed for the duration, it can be made nearly as good as new by painting with black automobile enamel. o If the surface of a piece of your furniture becomes scratched, rub it with a piece of walnut kernel. The scratch will disappear as if by magic. Dip the ends of rag rugs in starch after washing and they will lay flat on the floor instead of curl-ing on the edges. House plants should have an oc-casional cool soap and water bath to remove the dust and dirt from the leaves. This may be done by laying the pot on its side, and carefully sponging each leaf with absorbent cotton dipped in cool suds. Then rinse in cold water to remove the soap, taking care that soapy water does not get in the soil. Save the core wax paper comes on to wrap your doilies on to prevent wrinkling after launder-ing. A "costume box" is suggested where there are children to amuse. Into a certain box put dis-carded articles of clothing which have "costume" possibilities. Children love to "dress up," and if the box is reserved for certain occasions such as Halloween, vacations, etc., it is enjoyed more than if it is available all the time. Don't do without a grater just because such articles are scarce in the stores make one! Take the lid from a mayonnaise or peanut butter jar, and drive nail holes from the inside out. Put them fairly close together, and the rough surface on the outside does the grating. A rag moistened in milk helps to whiten the piano keys.
