WRITTEN DAY OF RAID
A few days ago, after the miss

was written on the morning of the
raid, somewhere in the English
Channel in the boat that was
speeding Private Flat to his
death. The letter follows:

Ad Tipped0ff
.Dieppe Raid,
London Hears

LONDON, Sept. Is QNS).-
The startling information that
British military intelligence Of
Ificers are investigating the posi-.
bility that the German high
command may have been tipped
off to the Commando raid against
lDieppe was revealed today by the
Daily Mirror.
The newspaper said the intelli-
lgence officers were investigating
a newspaper advertisement which
appeared four days before the
Dieppe assault on August 10.
Hundreds of letters from anx.
ious amateur spy catchers were
received by the war office follow
ing the appearance of the ad.
lvertisement. which was labeled
Beach Coat From Dieppe."
TIP-OFF CLUES
The advertisement showed a
woman pruning rose bushes with
a pair of wire clippers. In an
accompanying description of the
coat, mention was made of four
buttons and six button holes.
The letters from the amateur
S euths said that the word
"Dieppe" referred to the locale of
a coming raid, while the coat
itself meant the attack would be
a combined operations, or Com
Imando, attack.
The wire clippers and word
beach" were seen as an indica-
ton of a beach assault, while the
four buttons and six button holes
were interpreted as meaning the
attack would come between
a. m. and 6 a. m.
(E EDITORS note-The Com
mandos made landings on six
beaches along a 10-mile front
starting at 4:50 a. m.)
An unnamed advertising COM
pany, employed by the govern
ment to publicize its campaign OF
l"Careless Talk Cost Lives" was
reported being extensively in

"Dear Dad; When you read

have "A job of snlping to do and
am going 10 do my best"
The letter, addressed 10 George
Flat, father of two sons reported
missing in the Essex Scottish raid
on Dieppe, meant much more than
the official, curt report of the gov
eminent.
Flat, who lives at 1865 Brainard

"She Is taking IL pretty hard,

International Paper Curbed
As Wage Act vioIator

By the Associated Press.
MOBILE, Ala, Oct. 29.-The In
ternational Paper Co. and its sub
sidiary, Southern Kraft, were barred
today from shipping paper goods
manufactured from pulpwood pro-
duced in violation of the, Wage and
Hour Act. --
The Federal order was embodied
in a consent decree signed yester-
day by Judge John c. McDuffie and
was described by Joseph c. Noah,
regional wage-hour director, as end
ing litigation of long standing pend
ing in several States.
The decree followed filing of
complaint in behalf of L. Metcalfe
Walling, wage-hour administrator,
in which it was alleged that the
companies violated "hot goods"
clause of the Fair Labor Standards
Act by shipping in interstate COM
merce wood pulp, Kraft paper,
wrapping paper, paper board, paper
bags and other allied paper prod
ucts made from pulpwood produced
by suppliers who had violated the
minimum wage and overtime COM
pensation provisions of the law
since its effective date, October "a,
1898. &
The complaint listed International
Paper as operating newsprint mills
In New York and Canada, and
Southern Kraft as owning eight
paper mills or factories in Alabama.

During a brief respite last night,

Asked if she felt any ill effects
from her 2l-hour War bond stretch

Smith replied:
Il was not worn out a bit. I have
plenty endurance. But two days
later I had stiffness in my shoul-

She has come long way since, as

for the first time before an audience

voice now is heard daily by millions

spread throughout the world.
