Mail for Sailors, Marines
Must be Dispatched Early
Navy Warns Relatives to Get
Christmas Packages Ready Next Month

No clothing unless it was spe-
officially requested.
No mailing of intoxicants, in
flammable materials, or poisons
prohibited by postal regula-
tons.
Because Of shipping space
shortages, size of Christmas
packages should not be larger
than an ordinary shoebox, or
weigh over six pounds.
Because most of the packages
must travel a long distance and
S d considerable handling,
they should be packed substan-
TALLY and covered by strong
wrappers. To facilitate censor
ing, they should not be sealed.
Parcels for men overseas
should show the name and adj
dress of the sender, and the
name, rank or rating of the adj
dressee, and, if in the Navy, the
unit or ship to which he is as
signed. The location of the unit
or ship, even if known by the
sender, should never be includ-
ed, and only two postoffice adj
dresses should be used on over
seas packages - care, Postmas-
ter, New York, or care, Post
master. San Francisco.
Inscriptions such as Merry
Christmas, or do Not Open
Until Christmas" may appear
on the cover if they do not in
terfere with the address. Post
age must be fully prepaid.
If money is sent, money or
ders should always be used,
since at many foreign posts,
there are local prohibitions
against importation of United

Heaviest Part Of Supplies
Direct Help Of U. S. Armed Forces
CoIIed Even More Important

to date, the Prime Minister add
ed.
Among the remaining so per
cent he listed machine tools
for increasing Australians own
war production, tinplate, raw
cotton, rolling stock, trucks. lu-
bricating oils and petroleum
products.
Even more important than
this lend-lease aid, however,
Curtin asserted. is the direct
help which Australia has re-
eeived from the United States
through the presence of Ameri-
can armed forces in Australia.
Successes achieved by United
States forces in the Coral Sea,
at Midway and in the Solomons
have been of vital Importance to
this commonwealth, he declar-
ed.
In reciprocation for the lend
lease aid she is receiving, Cur
tin said, Australia is providing
American forces here with va
rious supplies and services. He
listed some of these services as
follows:
Naval Z. S. warships and
auxiliary vessels are being re-
paired in Australian dockyards
and are being provided with
foodstuffs, oil and other items
from local sources. No charges
for any port facilities are made
by Australian authorities.
Army - Every American SOL
dier is being supplied with a full
ration scale and special camps
and stores have been arranged
for their accommodation. Ex-
tensive buildings have been pro-
vided for supply depots and one
of the biggest modern civil hos
pitfalls has been turned over for
the exclusive use of American
troops, Notwithstanding an acute
shortage of such institutions.
Field artillery, gasoline, oils,
medical and dental supplies also
are being provided.
Air Force - All existing air
fields have been made available
to the U. S. Army air forces and
large additional facilities are
being constructed for their use.
In addition, Curtin said, Aus
tralian manufacturers have di-
verted their plants to u. S. re-
quirements for production of
ammunition, spare parts for
planes and other necessities.

Parole Assured, But
Bride Didn't Wait
Torn from Wife's Arms
Five Yeors Ago, He Soys

NEW YORK, Sept. A -(P-
The bride from whose arms po-
lice snatched Michael Keller
five years ago won't be there to
greet him when he gets out of
Sing Sing prison around Christ
mas time, but his sister will.
Keller, then 81, had been mar
ried only an hour that eventful
day in May, 1897, and was on
his way home from Bronx Bor-
ough Hall with his new wife
when they arrested him and
charged him with armed rob-
berry.
Convicted and sentenced to 80
to 60 years Imprisonment as a
two-time feony offender, Keller
was sent to Sing Sing and his
wife, the former Sylvia Evans,
obtained an annulment and re-
married.
But Helen Keller, who believ-
ed her brother innocent, gave
up studying to become a nun
and devoted herself to trying to
free her brother or, at least, to
obtain a shorter term for him.
For five years she and her at
torney, Sam Goldstein, checked
records of old cases and finally
learned that through court
clerks error in 1881 her broth
er's first offense - that of car
rying a gun without license
had been listed as a felony in
stead of m S demeanor, to
which charge he had pleaded
guilty.
On Keller's conviction, Judge
Jonah j. Goldstein had no al
tentative to sentencing him to
30 to 60 years as second Of
fender, but yesterday j u d 6 e
Saul S. STREET., taking the error
into account, resentenced him to
10 to 20 years as the penalty
for the single felony.
Since Keller already has serv-
ed time since 1887 he is eligible,
with time off for good behavior,
for parole within four months.
Leaving the courtroom to re-
turn to prison, Keller turned to
his sister and whispered:
Thanks"

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 4-(P)
Tight boots on a fighter pilot
may lead 10 his death in flight.
This report, one of the new,
surprising conditions found in
flying Which differs from all pre-
Vious human experience, was
made today TO the Aero Medical
Association, an organization OF
military and civilian physicians
specializing in the peculiar med
ical and physical problems of
flying.
The bad place for boots to be
tight on a pilot is around the
calves. This tightness has not
the least bad effect on his feel
ingS or his health. But under
some circumstances. frequent IN
war, the leg pressure causes him
10 breathe about 80 per cent
more oxygen than he does with
out tight boots.
This means unexpectedly fast
exhaustion of the oxygen sup
ply in his plane. AT high alti-
tudes this can mean death.
The report was by Capt. Jose
Raoul Delucchi, NJ. D., Argen-
tine military aviation, Republic
of Argentina. He is chief of the
psychological and physiological
laboratory of the headquarters
of military aviation.
Aviators breathing pure oXy-
gen, as in high altitude flights,
took the tests. 1t was found that
pressing with one.foot on board
in imitation of the foot pressure
used on the rudder of a plane,
increases the consumption of
oxygen. This was due as antici-
pated to the. increase in muscu-
lar work.
Then the tests were taken
wearing boots which army Off
GERS considered a little tight.

much difference. But when boots
were fairly tight, the work of
pressing on the rudder caused
the consumption of oxygen to
shoot up far more than without
the boots.
An odd fact was that at rest
with these tight boots, oxygen
consumption dropped rrder that
of rest with no boots. Capt. De-
lucchi did not attempt to explain
the reason for the great increase
in oxygen consumption with
work. but presented the expert
ments because he said they are
important in military aviation.
For example, he said, if men
are ordered to 60 to 5000 feet
with an oxygen supply which is
just about adequate for such a
trip, il will not be enough for a
man with tight boots. and that
man will be in trouble.

Finserprinting
Drive Renewed

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 Up
- A renewed campaign TO re-
quire the fingerprinting of every
man, woman and child in the
country developed today with
the announce m ent by Rep.
Hobbs DALAI of the House
Judiciary Committee that he
planned TO draft legislation TO
that effect.
Hobbs, after preliminary
conference with Justice Depart
ment officials, said he would
urge speedy enactment of man
datory fingerprint bill, as civ
ilian defense measure, as soon
as Congress resumes ECU r
sessions about the middle of this
month.
Once previously considered
but pigeQnholed because of its
cost, the propos measure
found new strength on Capitol
Hill with the nation at war.
Hobbs reported that m r c
than 30,00O,000 persons in this
country - nearly one quarter
of the population-aircady- have
been fingerprintcd as result
of the war, and the basic ma
chinery is set up for obtaining
the records of the others.
He declared that countrywide
fingerprinting would prove dou-
bly, valuable in wartime, par
ticularly in the event of bomb
ing attack, for checking cas-
ualties.
Under Hobbs proposal, the
work of obtaining the prints
would be handled by the De
partment of Justice. In testify
ing before the House Appropri-
atoms committee early this year,
Attorney General Francis Bid
die declared that even then 1.-the
increase in military fingerprints
and those under the various
plant protection programs has
been phenomenal"

buyers at reasonable cost.
