Hoard
Case Has
Comic ENDING

Otto Knittle, 40, whose oat
bin gave up 80 pounds of hoard
ed sugar, today can blame his
plight on his fondness for home
made wine.
Knittle told OPA agents, who
confiscated the sugar, that he
had hidden it without the knowl-
edge of his wife, Fanny, and
that he intended to make some
homemade wine.
According to Senior OPA En-
forcement Attorney Samuel As
trow, of Detroit, no prosecution
is planned because Mrs. Knittle
made no false statement last
May when she declared only 10
pounds of sugar with the Ma
comb County Ration board. Be-
sides, Astrow said, Knittle is a
hard working War worker with
out a previous blemish on his
record and it was his wife he
sought to fool.
OPA agents seized the sugar
Wednesday after Detective Paul
Ritter, of the Romeo State Po-
lice post, learned it was there.
Knittle agreed to donate the
sugar to the USO.

Red Cross ArTonsss
to Send Messages

Relatives and friends of pris-
oners of war or military men
missing in action in the Far
East have been urged by the
American Red Cross to 60 inn
mediately to their local Red
Cross chapter to file messages
for them. The message will be
carried on the exchange ship
"Gripsholm," soon to sail on its
second voyage.
The procedure for those wish
ing to send messages is:
First, the message is to be
filed with the local chapter of
the Red Cross on Form 1916;
second, complete information as
to name, number, rank, mill
tary unit and last known address
must be given; third, where pos
sible, relatives and friends
should join in sending one mes
sage; and fourth, the message
must be confined to Is words.
The American Red Cross an
nounces that these messages will
be mailed on the "Gripsholm,"
addressed to the International
Red Cross delegate in Japan,
who will make every effort to
see that they are delivered. The
Red Cross can give no assur-
ance of delivery, but this method
has been adopted in agreement
with the State, Navy. War and
Post Office departments, be-
cause the Japanese government
has not yet furnished official
lists of the majority of American
prisoners in the Far East.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 18-
Up Describing Japan as our
most formidable enemy. far
tougher than Germany, former
Ambassador Joseph c. Grew
told a war rally luncheon here
today that the Germans cracked
in 1918 and they will crack
again, but the Japanese will
fight until they are utterly
crushed.
Grew, who was an American
diplomat in Berlin in 1917 and
American Ambassador in Tokyo
in 1941, indicated he was pro-
foundry shocked to hear people
in this country talk as If Ger
many in time would be defeat
ed land then we'll mop up the
Japs."
He agreed with those who be-
lieve German morale will not
survive a series of setbacks. But
he added, in a prepared speech
broadcast over the NBC net
work:
MUST BE CRUSHED
THE Japanese will not crack.
They will not crack morally or
psyohologically or economically,
even when eventual defeat
stares them in the face only
by utter physical destruction or
utter exhaustion of their men
and materials can they be de-
feated."
That" he said, els the diff
ference between the Germans
and the Japanese. That is what
we are up against in fighting
Japan"
1t is difficult for Americans

OTTAWA, Sept. Is - R -
The Canadian government dis
closed today that two-thirds of
the Canadian armed force used
in the Dieppe raid Aug. 10 was
lost, dead, wounded or miss
ing, and said that "a very high
price was paid" considering
what was gained.
The government announced
that 5000 Canadian troops we're
used in the attack. Canadian
casualties, which had been an
nounced earlier, totaled $3.50.
A 4,000-word review issued by
Defense Minister j. L. Ralston,
the first comprehensive official
statement on the operation, sum-
med up the raid as follows:
For lessons learned and the
advantages gained, the forces,
and particularly the land forces,
paid very heavy price"
The Canadian Army furnished
all but a small part of the land
forces and suffered $3.50 casual

and 2,547 missing - in the cost
