Bomb Bursts And Out FEes-- a PIGEON!
By JAMES CULLINANE 'EA Service Staff Correspondent

Washington, Jan. 13-An ingenious bomb which blows apart in mid air and releases 8 pigeon is Americas newest war weapon.
 Tests with the bomb have been so successful that soon every fight ing plane will carry them. And hundreds of thousands of pigeons will be needed by the army.
 Considered as obsolete as the calvary sabre at the outbreak of the war, the homing pigeon has proven an invaluable ally to the fighting men of the United Nations.
 Pigeons are used when strategy calls for absolute radio silence.

Circus Troop Aided
In Leningrad Defense
Between Shows
BY OLGA POZDNEVA.

MOSCOW, Oct. Is (By Wireless
10 MANA, There isn't soldier
in the Leningrad sector who doesn'..
know and love the front line circus
organized especially for him. The
circus troupe is immensely popular.
1t has given at least 1000 perform
ances during this war and has
brought the soldiers much delightful
recreation.
With the difficult front line con-
ditions it would be impossible, of
course. to give an ordinary circus
show with trained animals and so
forth. So the clever idea was con-
ceived of showing Hitler. Goering
Goebbels and others. portrayed Ly
artists in special masks. In addi-
tion, the program was made up of
excellent performances by acropats,
lugglerS, conjurers, clowns and
dancers.
The troupe made its appearance
In Leningrad while the city was
buried under shell and bomb frac-
ments and on ships in the Baltic
It gave shows on the ice of Lake
Ladoga and on the only road con-
meeting Leningrad with the out
side world. All Al members of the
troupe received the medal for the
defense of Leningrad, for each one
of them wasn't merely an artist; he
was also participant in the heroic
defense of his native city.
The actors shared all the hard
ships and privations of the Lenin-
grad population. During one per-
formance in the kronstadt area an
acrobat was so weakened by hunger
that he could not lift his partner.
He was about TO repeat his attempt,
but commanders in the front rows
shouted, Don't bother!" and ap-
plauded heartily. 1t was perhaps the
first time in circus history that an
actor won applause for an unsuc-
cesstul number.
During their performances on a
highway across Lake Ladoga the
actors had 10 accustom themselves
TO the most unusual conditions. Low.
arched ceilings prevented them
from showing their numbers In
their accustomed way. For instance.
acrobatS were forced to do their
complicated tricks lying on blankets
spread on the ground. A juggler
found himself obliged to DO his
number seated on a low stool. Only
the dancers and clowns found some
consolation; the ice made an ideal
dance floor.
