Hint for War Bride: Make Combination
Chest and Cupboard From Old Dresser

dresser and chairs are painted
cream color and quaint Dutch de-
signs in gay colors are stenciled
on them. The chair seat covers

Pieces of the cracked mirror of
the old dresser are cut to fit paint

Dutch tulip designs are stenciled
on the glass.
NOTE: The painted and stenciled de.
signs used by Early Dutch settlers in
America are full of sentiment for us to-
day. The Dove Of Peace and Hearts and
Flowers were favorites. Mrs. Spears has

Of Amboina.
Today's reports emphasized air
punches delivered in the South
west Pacific sector in contrast with
others recently telling of heavy
American raids in the South Pa
cific (Solomons).
The only Allied air activity re-
ported today in the Solomons was
a torpedo and dive-bomber attack
on gun positions near the Japanese
air base of Villa on Kolombangara
which caused large explosions.
In that area alone, since Sep
TENDER II, United States bombers
and fighters have destroyed 100
japanese planes and reduced in a
large measure the value of the
Kahili and Ballale airdromes.
In desperate effort to prevent
the fall Of their remaining Solo
mon bases the japanese h e
brought in heavy air reinforce
ments and requirements for more
than 600 planes destroyed by
American pilots since the start of
the offensive last June 30.
The Monday communique of
General Douglas Macarthur re-
ported three surprise night raids
against Kahili and Ballale follow
ed by a daylight attack on Ballale.
In the latest assault on Ballale
IA of 60 Japanese interceptor
planes were shot down compared
with loss of two American bomb
ers and four fighters.
Since September II American
plane loses were reported as only
one for each six of the enemy.
In New Guinea the battle against
the enemy was carried on by a
1e-ton bombing raid in the Finsch-
hafen area, 60 miles northeast OF
the Lac air base captured last
Thursday by Australian and Unit
ed tates soldiers.
Three Japanese cargo S h p S
were sunk or damaged by other
Allied aircraft in New Guinea and

The Japanese made two weak
raids, one against Hopoi, shore
settlement west of Lac, and the
other against Fenton airfield. near

DANES REJECT
NAN PROPOSAL
ON GOVERNMENT
DETAILS ARE GIVEN
Germ ans Demand That
Parliament Be Dis
missed Permanently

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 90 R "A
dispatch from Denmark said to-
day that a committee represent
ing the 'big five" Danish politi-
cal parties had unanimously re-
iected a German proposal which
would reduce the kingdom to the
status of a puppet and disband its
parliament.
Details of the German plan to
replace the military control, with
Nazi Minister Werner Best assum-
ing power as the Reich's protec-
tor, were presented to the Danish
cabinet September 10, the Danish
press service said.
Under the proposal, non-polltl-
clans would administer and issue
laws, with Germany reservlng con-
troll of the press and radio and
retaining all legal power acquired
under the present state of emer-
gency.
The Germans demanded h t
Parliament be summoned to en-
power the new government to is
sue laws and then be dismissed
permanently, the news service
said.
They demanded also the abolish
ment of the war ministry because
of the de facto mobilization OF
Danish defense forces.
The Parliament leadership, on
the same day the demands were
rejected, decided to take no ac-
ton toward converting Parliament
because both King Christian and
the government chiefs, who alone
have such power, have been "sus-
pended" by the Nazis.
Meanwhile, sabotage against
German production and transport.
which resulted in the Nazi occu-
patton, were reported to be con-
tinuing at an undiminished pace
with five new bombings reported
today.

Badoglio Calls On Italy
To Drive Nazis From Land

| ing for the war into which they
incautiously threw the country
Badoglio referred to partnership
of the Americans, British and 1tal-
ians in the last World war and
declared the Allies did not hest
tate to state that their ultimate
aim is the rebirth of strong and
united Italy" and asserted they
will not withdraw their help from
US when the time comes to repair
the havoc of war"
Although Italians are reported to
have fought with the Germans in
many parts of the peninsula in
spontaneous outbursts, this W a S
the first official instruction for
them to take up arms, Ell h e /
against the Germans or fellow
Italians who remain loyal to Hit
Ter.
In his original instructions upon
announcing the armistice on Sep
TENDER s. Badoglio had ordered his
countrymen to cease fighting
against Americans and British and
to resist only if attacked from any
other quarter.
Just before the proclamation was
published today, an American who
had talked with the Italian chief
tain gave the first authoritative
account of Badoglio's escape from
the near clutches of the Germans.
Badoglio, who formed an italian
government on July Is, the day
of Mussolini's fall, realized that
German troops surrounded Rome
and intended to seize the capital,
himself and King Vittorio Emanu-
ele. the American said.
Before dawn on September 8,
few hours after announcing Italy's
unconditional surrender to the AL
lies, he and his military advisers
made up an automobile caravan
and sped to a port on the Italian
coast. A few hours later the Ger
mans occupied Rome.
At the port, Badoglio and his
party boarded an Italian ship and
proceeded in broad daylight down
the coast to Allied occupied ter
tiroty without sighting any pur-
suing Germans.
