Skin Can Show Type Of Blood
Some Persons Alergic to Plasma and Serum Types
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov Dr. Milton Levine University of Minnesota medical school has developed skin tests to use in connection with plasma and ransfusions in order to determine the type of trans fusion which may be administered safely to ndivid- uai patients.
 Levine believes his development will aid in saving the lives of many wounded who formerly have died because the plasma or serum used in a transfusion was type unsuited to the individual.
 Heretofore, it believed all plasma and serum from the four blood groups could be indiscrimnately administered in transfusions.
 But Dr. Levine in his experiments in the bac- terolOgv department, discovered that some persons are alergic to more of the pasrna and serum types.
 Test Takes 10 Minutes
 Symptoms of patient found sensitive to the plasma or serum administered to him include head aches, dizziness, nausea difficult breathing and in some cases, shock resulting in death Dr. Levine said
 During six months research he found a simple way of determining senstvy or allergy to the pasrna and serum types by skin tests which require only ten minutes for positive negative reaction
 II bit of plasma or serum is injected under the top layer of skin, and redness and swelling in the n- Jected area results after 10 minutes that particular plaslna or serum is the wrong type, Dr. Levine said
 Tests must then be repeated with other groups ne said, until the proper type is found.
 Dsproves Old Belief
 Plasna is distinguished from serum as the lio- uid portion of human blood which has not cotted Serum is the liquid portion of clotted blood
 Dr. Levine'S development disproves former con ception that all types of plasa and were harm less in transfuson As result of this belief the blood bank, where all types pooled came into being. However, Dr. Levine pointed out that even plasma and serum pooled in ''blood banks" may be used in emergencies for patient known to be sen sitive to certain type This is possible because the percentage of the harmful type administered to the allergc patient in transfusion would be extremely small, he said

Jap Tactics In Solomons Similar
 To Hitler's In the Low Countries
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON = Naval officers who have re- turned from the Pacific summarize the Japs tactics as similar to those Hitler used on the land when he first went into the Low Countries. It's combination of air and surface sneak attacks
 Furthermore the Japs have developed small air bases all over the Pacific, so that almost every little island is a stationary airplane carrier
 Meanwhile, the American Navy has been operat- ing on the old-fashioned rules of warfare the equi vent of the French tactics when they still put their faith in the Magnot Line.
 Naval officers back from the Solomons point out that if could get the JapS out in the old-fash toned line of battle. with all battleshps cruisers carriers and destroyers operating unit the enemy would be licked However the Japs don't fight in this anticipated Battle of Jutand style The last thing they want is to face our fleet in full formation Their tac ties are to isolate small groups of American vessels pop them off before help can come thus gradually whittle down the U. S. fleet

First Solomon Defeat

For instance, when the Japs dodged into tie Soomons on the night of August they had only tWo cruisers and four destroyers. This such an n- significant force compared with the American armada which lay guarding transports that the U. S. com mander dreamed they would have the nerve to attack
 Yet they did it, and sank about three times their weight They did by perfectly timed, perfectly cuted strategy Their arplane flares lit up Tulagi har Dor at exactly the right minute. Their ships closed in ours and opened fire at exactly the right minute It their clockwork precision plus nerve plus our stupidity which caused defeat.
 In contrast, American senior officers are accus- toned to operating with big fleets and according to long established rules of warfare. Peacetme naval maneuVers largely matter of routine. Every body knew pretty we'll what the enemy fleet was going to do; and if the 'enemy' commander made an unexpected move, frequently he criticized among his fellow officers

It's not a matter of being yellow, some men just aren't constituted for para chute jumping
 Each man, of course, car ries an auxiliary para chute in case the first one doesn't open. He is taught to count, "one thousand and one, one thousand and two, one thousand and three" when he steps out of the plane. If by the end of the lone thousand and three' the first para chute hasn't yanked him up, it's time to look for the second ripcord.
 The 'chutist doesn't have to worry about the rip cord on the first umbrella. That's automatically taken care of by a long cord at- tached inside the plane which pulls the chute op- en at the right time and then cuts loose.
 First jumps are made from an altitude of about 1,200 feet from a transport plane cruising at a speed of about 100 miles an hour. Later the men will learn to jump from lower attitudes.
The Nome nugget., 1942-11-25
Halseys Attack For instance, fiery Admiral William F. Halsey,

new commander of the fleet at the SolomonS once commanded a destroyer squadron in peacetime naval maneuVers and received order to attack, simulat- ing battle conditions.
 HalSey laid down a smoke screen and ordered his destroyers full speed ahead dashing among the en- enly cruisers Later he ordered up before board of inquiry the grounds that he had needessy risk ed naval property by daShng full speed through cruiser squadron Before the proceedings started Hal sey asked if he wanted officer from the Judge Advocate Generals office to defend him. He said he would present his defense. That defense was:
 I was ordered to attack attacked.
 After the first disastrous defeats in the Soomons Admiral Halsey was placed in commando is hoped not too late
 U. S. SOldiers-U S. Farmers
 Fortnight Senator McNary comes from Oregon where the farmers have had lot of trouble this year getting pick their fruit and harvest their wheat
 So McNary wrote to Secretary of War Stimson pointing out that there were two Army cantonments in Oregon, that it might be excellent thing for the nations food supply and for national cooperation gen. orally if some of the soldiers were given furloughs and allowed to help Oregon farmers with their crops
 Secretary of War Stimson wrote back rather tart ly that soldiers of the U S. had to work at war and that the idea preposterous
 little later Senator McNary noticed newspaper accounts of the way American soldiers in England had taken time to help English farmers harvest crops So he wrote Stimson again.
 The work of our men in training for war must be shot to pieces in England" McNary said 'in view of the fact that American soldiers are working in the harvest fields"
 The Secretary of War replied little lamey that if American troops in England were working in the harvest fields, they doing it on their own time But he welcomed more suggestions about helping farmers here at home

Mass Plan Used For
 

Helena, Mont, Nov. - The army is using mass production to jump out of airplanes and land the 1st Special Service Force now with both feet on the ground-and guns blazing.
 On an average of 300 SOL diers bale out of transport planes over Fort Harrison every day, most of them making their first para chute jumps.
 The 1st Special Service Force, composed of select ed volunteers from both the Canadian and U. s. armies, is the first interna tlOnal unit to be formed as part of the American fore eS.
 It is scheduled to receive special training encompass sing winter, desert and mountain tactics as we'll as the parachute curriculum.
 Officers explained that the parachute, for men of the lst Special Service Force, is simply a means of transportation and little emphasis is placed upon the niceties of the chutist's trade. T h e men don't learn to make any trick jumps.
The Nome nugget., 1942-11-25
Packers Jump Too

They just learn how to step out of the plane, how to guide themselves to where they want to land, and how to take up the shock of landing" an of ficer explained.
 Parachutes at Fort Harri son are packed by profess sional packers who may be required at times to pick one of their own 'chut es at random and make a jump. Special Service men don't need much condition ing; they're well toughen- ed up before they come here.
 Some of them particular ly the Canadians, already have seen overseas duty = in France, Egypt or the Far East. And a few of the Americans are veterans of Pearl Harbor.
 During the preliminary training the men are taught to fall properly by having them jump from two. four and six foot heights. They learn to ab- sorb the shock with both feet and then roll over Imply.
 From wooden mock ups for facsimile fuselag- es, they learn how to step out the door of the trans port, giving themselves a half turn. as they go. And in swings stimulating para chute rigs, they learn to control themselves in the air.
 Most of the men freely admit they are frightened before the first jump, but there are surprisingly few who balk at the door when the time comes. Those who do are simply told to step aside and let the next man go. They are never given another chance, but are i'm mediately sent back to their original outfit which they left to join the para chutists.
 Carry an Extra Chute
 Officers explain his prac- tice thus: If a man can't jump the first time, he may not be able to when the critical times comes.

WPB Restricts Copper Use
For Uniform Insignia
4y the Associated Press.

1y the Associated Press.
Because copper is scarce the War
Production Board yesterday restrict
ed its use for uniform insignia and
limited sales of the insignia in an
effort to halt the practice by women
of wearing Army and Navy emblems
as costume jewelry.
WPB said a curtailed use OF copper
in cap and uniform insignia would
save 300 tons year, based on the
present size of the Army.
Copper still may be used to some
extent, but the order prohibited en-
tirely the use of aluminium, nickel,
nickel silver, chromium and some
other metals. Most silver colored
insignia are made of nickel silver or
chromium, and with the these pro-
hibited officers face the prospect OF
buying sterling silver insignia.
The sales restriction permits sales
only by Army and Marine Corps post
exchanges and Navy ship service
stores.
Retail stores, tailors and others
who have handled insignia in the
past may dispose of stocks on hand,
but sales may be made only to per-
sons who present official War De-
partment Identification.
Because of the lower mark-up in
post exchanges, WPB estimated that
insignia which under the old sys-
tenn would have cost officers s2,500,-
900 will now be available for 81 ,000,-
600 in sterling silver"

4"our coming victory
Arturo Toscanini led the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. Symphony
Orchestra, enlarged to ITO members
to meet the demands of the vast
work, through the brilliant score
written under the bombs and shells
of the German siege of Leningrad.
The NBC network carried the
music throughout the United States,
and shortwave stations took it to
other countries. The performance
was dedicated by NBC to the cause
of Russian war relief.
Given Wild Acclaim.
For 70 minutes, specially invited
audience in Radio City listened to
the solemn and majestic harmonies
which progressed with gathering
force to a moving climax.
Then the distinguished audience
burst into wild acclaim-for the
Russian composer, still taking part
in his country's desperate struggle,
for the consummate skill of Maestro
Toscanini and for the playing Of the
great orchestra.
The musicians played from photo
static copies of the score. Shosta-
kovicf's original score was brought
to this country by airplane and
motor car from Kuibyshev, Russia
preserved on microf1lm, packed
securely in small tin can.
Toscanini and Shostakovich ex-
changed fluctuations by radiograms
before the premiere.
This glorious musical occasion
guarantees the opening of new cul-
tural relations between the United
States and the U. S. S. r" Tos-
canini said. "just as the recent his
toric agreement between our re-
spective governments for the speedy
opening of a second front in Europe
guarantees victory over Fascist bar
barism this year"
After expressing confidence in
Toscanini's "superlative skill" the
Russian composer sent this message
to the millions of radio listeners:
"The symphony is being performed
by an orchestra conducted by the
brilliant master, Arturo Toscanini.
on a day when freedom loving ma
tions are waging battle against the
common enemy-Hitlerism.
Wrote Amid Siege.
when I was working on the
seventh symphony, my thoughts
were of hatred for the enemy and
love of people-of the trials OF pro-
eressive mankind and our coming
victory. I wrote my symphony in
my native city of Leningrad In
those days when the enemy tore at
the gates of this beautiful city.
my music is my weapon and I
have endeavored to vest my SYM
phony with those feelings which
grip our people. We fight for light
against darkness, for freedom
against tyranny, for humanism
against barbarity.
"Hitlerism is the enemy Of cul-
ture and civilization. During these
grim and strenuous days our culture
and art must not stand aside from
this historical fight. Let us muster
all our strength for an active and
decisive struggle in the name OF
Righteousness.
