NEW YORK - The m a or

Generally speaking, the two RI

Do these items make any sort OF

the short, rather dreSSy dress with

night-lifer shows a strong deter

One thing is certain. hair dos are

example a slim black crepe with

cuffs heavily embroidered with gold
braid. Stunning was no word for 1t.
But l must not forget to add the
gold flower poised high in the wear
er's upswept hair-do. -
Unless one wants to look posi-
lively prehistoric. it's necessary to
do something about ones hair:
something must be worn in or over
it. The nights Of simply running a
comb through 1t are gone, IL not
forever at least for the winter of
1943.
Speaking OF hair reminds me of
lots of things about hats I've neg
lected to mention. one being that
you have got to 60 back to hatpins
unless you adopt the bicycle clip
fastening. There's this about hat
pins. they are part of the decora-
tive scheme; some have tiny bows
at their heads, others a flower.

Burma Bomber,
Crew Return

:. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. CUP -
The B-24 Iiberator bomber, Ran
COON Rambler, has rambled back to
the United States with it's crew OF
10-the first bomber crew to return
from the India Burma theater
Crew members have plenty OF
hair raising tales to tell of action
over the Japanese-filled jungles
where everything from monsoons
to Japanese Zeros spell death to
American airmen.
Their most exciting raid, they
said, was the low level bombing of
strategic bridge deep In enemy
territory. The Rangoon Rambler
swept up the river so low it was
below the edges of the bank, straf-
ing Japanese on docks, boats and
shore and then skip-bombing the
bridge and leap-frogging over it.
The crew, all decorated with one
medal or another, included Capt.

The sentences climaxed the gov

Of Changteh
In Bitter Battle
BY UNITED PRESS

The Japanese high command
claimed today that the strategic
city of Changteh in central China
was occupied yesterday after
Chinese resistance described as the
stiffest in six years was crushed in
week-long battle.
In one of Tokyo's rare acknowl-
edgements of stubborn Chinese OPP
position. a Dofnei (Japanese) news
agency dispatch quoted command
er as reporting that I'VE have never
met such stiff resistance from the
enemy since the Shanghai opera
tions."
Last reports from Chungking said
the Japanese maintained foothold
inside the east gate of Changten
but that Chinese troops still firmly
held the Human province highway
center west of Tungting lake guard
ing the way toward the major city
of Changsha.
Tokyo made great fanfare Of
the alleged success, describing in
war dispatches how the Chinese
fought in the streets until 80 per
cent of their troops were killed or
wounded
A high command communique
failed to report on Japanese casual
ties at Changteh but said that in
the drive through the rice bowl
around Tungting lake started n
month ago, $50 japanese had been
killed in action. The report claim

Captain Oliver r. Franklin, Hon
olulu, the bombardier, stood on the
catwalk over the open bomb bay
and held the severed gas line until
the valve could be shut off. Gaso-
line was squirting all over the aft
quarters, Sgt. Edward Herbert,
Stockton, Calf, gunner reported.
Tubing patched up the hydraulic
gear, but the bay door was left
open because of gasoline fumes
while the crew worked on the nine
inch catwalk, preparing for the
landing.
"We thought it might be our last
song, so we put everything we had
into Who Put the Drawers in Mrs.
Murphy's Chowder'," Corporal
Frank Ryall, Vallejo. Calf, ex-
planned.
After hours of precarious flying
over the Pacific, Col Hegy made a
safe landing despite the refusal of
the flaps to let down. The landing
wheels had to be lowered by crank.
Everyone got in the rear of the
ship to keep the rear down for the
landing.
