WASHINGTON, Jan. I'll!
may not seem important nov, lat
anyone who remembers the ak
heaps of war material t.4t kiied
up after the last war will realize
how important it will be some
day that the Department of Agri-
culture has proved that jeeps nay
become the all-purpoSe farm vc-
hicle Of tomorrow.
Before we got into this war,
several Congressman announced
that some day they would intro
duce bills to sell surplus jeeps to
the farmers at notwithstanding.
The idea was brushed off with a
few smokers as a political gesture.
However, it started some people
thinking.
AS a result, research officials of
the Department of Agriculture, in
cooperation with one Of the major
automobile manufacturers which
PRODUCES jeeps, have, just complet-
ed field tests near Auburn, Ala,
and Toledo, o.

In Alabama, the jcc2 pulled a
16- inch plow, cutting a finch
f,,rrow over an acre of cotton bot
tom land in an hour and three
quarters on 2.32 gallons of gaso-
line.
In Ohio, where the all-purpose
tests were made, the ieep hauled
a l,700-pound wagon, loaded with
$500 pounds of corn, 13 miles and
returned unloaded on one gallon
of gasoline.
The jeep has proved itself also

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-The ILL
nois state police are bringing
scientific crime detection to small
er communities with mobile lab
oratory and emergency unit that
can be rushed to the scene before
the evidence gets cold.
Mounted on a truck chassis and
resembling a highway bus, the l6-
ton laboratory is another achieve
msnt of Leonardo Keller, Chi
cago criminologist and inventor
of the lie detector. The unit, built
at a cost of $4,000, is better
equipped than many police depart
ments, said Keeler, and its ser
vices are free to city and county
officials.
It is fitted out with such induce
ments for suspects to tell all as
a lie detector, sound recording
equipment, fingerprint kit and
che nicaIs for nitrate and blood
stain tests, restoration of numbers
on metals and analysis of unknown
substances. e-..,.
There are also microscopes,
magnifying glasses and motion
picture and other cameras, a re-
fractometer, an ultraviolet (biacK
light lamp, equipment for max fSG
ing plaster molds and an x-ray
unit carving a 2O0-foot extension
for examining suspected bombs at
a safe distance.
Used For Riots
Although developed primarily
! to give local police assistance in
solving crimes, the big blue and
white van has been equipped for
disaster and riot service, and Gov.
Dwight H. Green has called it an
invaluable" safeguard against
sabotage.
1t has powerful searchlights to
illuminate the scene of train
wreck, mine disaster or similar
catastrophe; an emergency cleo
tric power station and radio trans
Elitter; fire extinguishers, extern
sion ladder and hose; asbestos
suits. fire blankets and stretchers;
acetylene torches for cutting
through wreckage; and oxygen
masks and resuscitation equipment
flor rescue work.
In the rear of the truck is a hos
rital where two operations can be
performed simultaneously, COM
plete with surgical tools and sup
plies.

saws is tough enough to handle
anything short of an army tank"

stories, a little verse and a score
of plays stand between today's
Booth Harrington and the baby
born 70 years ago in Indianapolis.
But Harrington, almost unique
among famous literary men, still

always has.

Baronial Home
You ring, and a maid answers.
You enter dim little room, light
ed only by the lamp that illumi-
mates a tapestry on the wall. A
good tapestry. You cross great

Harrington has stuck by Indian

He thinks Washington should

cut us off altogether. But he does
not like for the neighbors to be
made into SPIES, to see what you
do with your supply.

} NEW5kEN KILLED ON
 FIGHT FRONT

LONDON, Sept. 30.-Three Bri- tish war correspondents with the American Fifth Army have been killed near Naples.
 They are A. B. Austin of the London Herald, Stewart G. Sale of Reuters News Service, and William J. Munday of the Sydney Morning Herald and London ws-Chronicle.
 The British newsmen were with the leading units of Clark's armor advancing on Nocera after they had seen enemy opposition wiped out on the outskirts of the two in which they were killed.
 Basil Gingell, Exchange Tele- graph Correspondent, said the three newsmen were killed by a German shell. He was standing with them on a street corner watching the assembly of armor when there was a binding flash, a terrific explo- sion that shook the ground. I was flung great distance and buried in falling debris. When I was able to look around, I saw my compan- ions were dead"
 Gingell suffered only scratches.

 Fight Now
Disposal of Fleet Present Problem-AIIies Are
 Eager fo Man Ships

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, Sept. 30.-Dis- posal of the Italian fleet is one of the knottiest political problems of the war.
 The Italians have been allowed to keep their fleet which is of great value to the Allies, but the Italians have shown little inclination to fight with the French.
 The Allies have reserved an officer and seaman pool of 25.000 men, eager to man the Italian ships either on the Atlantic or Pacific. The Dutch, Greeks and Norwegians also have sailor pools ready to fight if the ships are furnished.
 It would take considerable time to train new crews for battelships but destroyers and small cruisers could be put into action quickly
 Some military minds doubt that the Italians military value justifies the shipping space needed to keep them in the war The Italians want clothing for 100000 persons includ- ing troops which attacked Albania. The matter may be settled by the Mediterranean Commission that the Allies are now setting up.

By EUGENE BURNS Associated Press War
 Correspondent

PEARL HARBOR, Sept. 30. - A greater frankness in war news pres entation will prevent a cynicism and lack of confidence in our leaders later, United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., said in an inter view after war front visits where T saw the reaction of our fighting men to habitually optimistic news reports"
 Lodge will report to Congress Our fighting men are mad because of the false optimism coming from our news reporting, our communi- ques, our radio commentators and our desk writers" He noted that the censors perhaps overlook the fact that unlike the last war the news they censor gets back by radio within 24 hours to the men who make the news, men who are wound ed and who have fallen comrades. Lodge said: Our present news censorship as I saw it at the front enrages and disillusions our fighting men. In truthfulness to their lead CTS at home it breeds apathy. Whom our rosy censorship helps, I don't know; if anything, it helps the en- emy by getting us to underestimate him.
 our fighting men are rapidly learning that our propaganda which makes all our Allies good and all our enemies bad is the bunk He told of seeing American soldiers be- friend Italian and German prison CTS, but said no such comaraderie exists in the Pacific.
 "Our fight with the Japs is 8 fight to the finish and the Japs made it that way" He said Sen- ator asked writer who was a cor respondent in the Aleutians the re- action of the American soldiers tt the news received while driving tho Japs out of Attu, an official all nouncement by radio that the enemy was defeated except for mopping III in the first week, whereas actually the main fighting had not com menced.

 The Germans have been routed out of their mountain strongholds after six days of heavy fighting and they are in a general retreat, leav- ing the Allies in complete possess ion of the Sorrento Peninsula that separates the Bay of Naples and Gulf of Salerno.
 The American. and British troops began the final attack on the enemy in the extremely strong mountain positions at dawn on Monday and by noon had captured Nocera, the vital road center on the coastal plain and leading to Naples.

 Castellammare, the important naval base on the southern shore of the Bay of Naples, also fell quickly into Allied hands as the Germans withdrew in a flight that may not cease until they reach the river Ventura on a line well north of Naples.
