700 Trucks Of Tomatoes
Wait Outside Cannery
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAMDEN, N. j.. Aug. 21.-Seven
hundred trucks piled with ripe to-
matoes were stretched in line
nearly 20 blocks long outside the
plant of the Campbell Soup Co. to-
day as the company fighting labor
shortage, renewed an appeal for VOL
unteers to get the bumper crop
processed before it spoils.
Hundreds of farmers slept in their
trucks through the night in order
not to lose their places in line,
which crept slowly toward the plants
understaffed receiving section, part
of it closed.
Meanwhile, spokesman at Fort
Dix said the Army had reached no
decision on the company's request
for 1000 soldiers to help.
Army officers stationed here and
scores of enlisted men, among them
French and British sailors, took
part time jobs in the plant yester-
day, drawing civilian pay for the
work in addition to their regular
service pay. Mayor George E. Brun-
ner has asked businessmen also to
help.
The company said the emergency
was due to the simultaneous ripen-
ing of 10000 acres of tomatoes in
Southern New Jersey and Eastern
Pennsylvania.

UNITED STATES AIR FORCE
HEADQUARTERS IN BRITAIN.
Aug. 2l.-German airmen are flying
captured American Flying Fortresses
alongside Allied formations over
France and Germany, but thus far
have made no attempt to interfere
with our operations, 1t was dis
closed here today.
What the enemy's plan is has not
emerged-perhaps the hope is to
sneak one or more ships into the
raiding squadrons and open the guns
against all those about.
The American system of Identify
ing Fortresses among each other is
being changed at irregular intervals,
however, and the formations fly so
closely together that there is little
opportunity for successful effort
to sneak into them.
So far the German flown captives
have been kept a good distance
away.
The .50-caliber ammunition of the
type used by the Fortresses is not
manufactured in Germany. and If
the enemy attempted to change the
guns and mounts in the captured
ships it would be costly and doubt
full business.
The use of one Fortress to attack
another also is not very feasible, be-
cause the four-engined bomber Is
not designed for that work.
The Americans lost about $50
Fortresses in one year of operations
and of this number probably so per

Army Officials Confer
On Space A||otments
For Weapons Show

Representatives of the various
branches of the Army were confer
ring at the Pentagon today to get
their space allotments for the ex-
hibition of war equipment to be held
on the Monument Grounds begin
ming September 9, under direction
of the War Department and at the
request of the Treasury.
The show will be launched stimuli
taneously with the opening of the
Third War Bond Drive and will be
designed as a persuasive argument
for increasing purchases of bonds.
Every part of the Army is seeking
to lay claim to the best possible
exhibit space to display its equip
ment and to demonstrate its func-
tions. A layout of the grounds has
already been completed, and it was
expected that assignments to each
branch of the service would be
completed today.
Stage and Grandstand.
Wcrkmen are already busy erect
ing a stage and grandstand for the
feature events to be presented twice
oaily during the 18 days the show is
open.
Army officials, working under di-
rection of Maj. Gen. Alexander D.
Surles, chief of the War Depart
ment's Bureau of Public Relations,
are still working on plans to make
this the most elaborate demonstra-
ton ever presented to the public by
the service. One of the bombers to
be placed on display has such a tre-
mendous wing spread. it was report
ed yesterday, that it will have to be
partially dismantled before 1t can
be towed to the Monument Grounds
along either Pennsylvania or Con-
stitution avenues.
A corps of notable figures is being
recruited to participate in the show
and encourage bond purchases.
Some of the names are expected to
be released soon.
Equipment used by every branch
of the Army, much of it never before
shown to the public, will be demon
strated by troops especially assigned
to the show. The Army plans to
exhibit everything that can be
shown without violating military Sc
curity regulations.
Preparations to accommodate the
thousands of persons expected on
each day of the show were going
ahead. The arena itself, where spe-
cial programs will be presented every
afternoon and evening. is being ar
ranged to handle about 10000 spec
tators at each performance. The
grounds will be open to visitors from
IL am. to 10 pm. daily.

Danish King Appeals
To People 10 Stop
Anti-Nazi SABOTAGE
BY the Associated Press.


STOCKHOLM, Aug. 21.-The
Danish government and King Chris
tian X appealed jointly to the Danes
today to cease sabotaging German
war production and transport lines,
warning that the nation would face
loss OF Nazi-supplied food and coal
If disorders continued.
The appeal said continuation of
demonstrations and sabotage, re-
suiting in the Staying of both Ger
man soldiers and Danes, would have
"a devastating result on Danish
life"
THE government will do every
thing to create more stable condi-
tions in Denmark" 1t was said.
Viewed as Compromise.
The appeal, similar to proclama-
tion issued by the King last spring
was viewed here as a triumphant
compromise for Danish officials. who
apparently resisted successfully a
Nazi demand that prosecution of
Saooteurs be turned over to the Ger
mans.
The Swiss radio broadcast a
Copenhagen dispatch today re-
porting a general strike of trans
port workers in the Danish capi-
tai. 1t said the men were being
threatened with stern reprisals
unless they returned to work.
The appeal signed by Premier Erik
de Scavenius with the approval of
the King said. in part:
Lately there have occurred events
Of very menacing character. There
have been increased sabotage and
demonstrations Attempts have been
made to cripple railways and fac
tories.
Devastating Result.
IF the people are going to con-
tinue these tactics they will have a
devastating result on Danish life.
The import of food and fuel will be
stopped, upsetting all production in
Denmark.
If the government shall succeed
in saving Denmark from war, it Is
necessary for the people to work for
the same purpose.
In this critical situa ton for the
Danish government We are asking
the Danish people to keep from
being led into unlawful actions
Every one has to be loyal to his own
country"
