LoUe Notes to Grandn,as

Women at Two Rivers, Wis, most
of them married and some of
them grandmothers, are receiving
love-letters from young American
soldiers.
When local aluminium manu-
featuring company made army
mess-tins during the 1914-18 war
many girl workers slipped notes
with their names and addresses
into the metal containers.
Thousands of the mess-tins, I'M
used at the time of their manu-
facture, are being distributed to
the new United States army, and
the notes are now bringing replies.

MISCELLANY:

Rio de Janeiro: Brazil had placed
Japanese diplomats under guard fol-
lowing reports from Tokyo that Bra
zirs ENJOYS had been held incom-
municado, and that the embassy
had been occupied by the military.
Burma: American-made tanks
were said to have arrived on the
British fighting front near Rangoon.
A second squadron of American vol
unteer 1iers also had arrived.
Austin, Texas: Texas oil wells
were told to shut down Is days this
month. Reason, lack Of transporta-
ton facilities.
Ankara: viet-Turkish relations
were reported acute following at
tempt on Won Papen's life. Three
Russians were said to have been

had declared that there were mil
lions of acres" of guayule in Mexico
which could either be harvested and
sent to the United States, or that
rubber sheet factories could be set
up in Mexico.
CONVOY:
To australia
A story from British correspond
ent had electrified Americans with
the news that our troops actually
were being put in Australian bases,
thus confirming the general belief
that the Allied offensive from that
direction was no pipe dream, but
the basic military plan of the ma
TONS war heads.
The censorship bureau had or
dered the press not to disclose the
port of entry, the size of the con-
voys, the number of troops, nor to
identify the bases where they had
been placed.
There were many who had become
somewhat jittery because of the
wording of the British dispatch
which was the peoples first infor-
nation of what was transpiring.
They had been thrilled to hear of
the hundreds Of pilots" of the
"brawny troops from the plains
states" but they were fearful when
the dispatch limited that the jap
anese navy was in contact with the
conveys through "spearheads" and
that naval battles "were in pros
pect."
But the information later given to
the press by the censorship bureau
had spoken as though the conveys
already had arrived safely, and that
the troops were ashore, in their
bases, and with that the public per-
force had to be content.
Secretary Knox of the navy was
considerably upset by the news
leak" that brought America word of
its fleet and troop movement
prior to any release from the navy
department, and said that he was
investigating it with great deal
Of vigor."
Oddly, the story had emanated
from a British newspaper man who
was riding with the convoy Secre-
tary Knox had been asked if he was
taking up the matter with the Brit
ish authorities. He replied:
eve certainly are"
He said that the British writer was
enjoying the courtesy of an Amer
lean ship with the understanding
that anything he wrote would get
official scrutiny"
The first intimation that American
troops actually were in Australia
came from Yates Mcdaniel, AP cor
respondent, and he buried" the in
formation at the end of long "col-
or" story about his trip from Bata-
| via.
There had been little information
in this dispatch save that Perth
was filed with American forces"

TIRES:
Real Shortage?

Real Shortage?
A New York rubber dealer had
sharply criticized those who were
taking the rubber right out from
under American automobile owners,
at least in prospect, and had de-
clared, among other things, that
there was a Connecticut manufac-
turer who, if given 1000 tons of
crude rubber, plus all the crepe rub
Der soles of shoes, could retread
35,000,0 900 tires this year.
He added that if this firm was not
allowed to have the crude rubber he
could do the same trick with re-
claimed rubber.
He had challenged Leon Hender-
sons statement that the retaining
rubber facilities of the nation could
account only for $50, 900 tons year,
and said:
HE overlooks that these facilities
could quickly be expanded to mil
lion tons or more by the simple re-
fixing of machinery and in second
hand machinery now available"
This was hurting a bombshel into
peoples thinking, who had readily
accepted Henderson's statement
that the would would take a million
cars off the roads by July, and that
within a year some $4,000, 900 autos
might be demobilized.
Henderson had said that the gov
eminent might even be forced to
take tires from the cars of some
owners and give them to others
whose uses for their cars was more
essential"
The New Yorker, Elliott Simpson,
went further. In his argument that
all was not being done that should
be in order to give the country a
sufficient supply of rubber, he said
there were thousands of tons of
wild rubber" in the upper Amazon
country, and in parts of Central and
South America.
As to rubber from guayule plants,
which Henderson said there was
''ittle chance" of realizing, Simpson

BURMA:
And India

With the British moving slowly
but surely backward on the Burma
front, and with many believing that
the fall of Java might be signal
for heavier pressure against India,
the puzzle of how the people of India
would react to the necessity of de-
tense was worrying Britain.
Many in England favored giving
the Hindus dominion status, with
Nehru as their head. Others thought
