complete tabulation for the year

Army. navy and marine corps
fliers shot down at least 2.587 en-
envy planes last year. That figure
does not include the hundreds of
planes listed as probably destroyed.
In addition, hundreds Of enemy
aircraft were blasted out of the
skies by anti-aircraft fire.
American aircraft losses last
year totaled 600. Some were shot
down by anti-aircraft fire; others
Just never returned from combat

most Of the 609 losses resulted
from combat with enemy airmen.
Navy and marine fliers together
accounted for al least $500 enemy
planes while they themselves lost
in combat about 300 planes.
The war department summary
reported that last year 987 enemy
planes were shot down by its air
men and 1862 others probably de-
stroyed. The enemy loss figure
does not include planes downed by
anti-aircraft fire.
American army plane losses to-

to have been shot down in combat

A whole Purim dinner of ira

for no rationed food except cup
or so of sugar and some prunes.
Made to order for those who have
always celebrated the occasion in
proper gustatory fashion, and
particularly for those who in hu-

verbOten decree on any marking
of the day in German-occupied
territory intend this year to join
the festivities in this land of free
dom to the hilt.
Many items featured in the Lu-
cullan feasts of other years-and
other centuries might as well be
sidestepped this time, out of re-
spect for both the digestive pro-
cesses and the OPA dicta. Poppy
seed Hamantaschen, favorite of
many, must give way to those
filled with prunes, now that the
poppyseed is unobtainable. That
will prove no hardship for those

latter. Cheese kreplach must be

are to stick to our streamlined,

been the vogue. Turkeys, with
chickens and geese close runners

A Purim poem written by an
italian Jewish poet some time be-

festival food predictions of the
day: "Salted chickens necks and

But food, though there could De
no banquet without it, has ira
ditionally played only a secondary

serve honey-nut candies, thorough
