A lot of GIs whose overcoats were beginning to get a drape shape from serving as auxiliary blankets during the past weeks cold snap are looking more cheer ful these days. Reason-Supply has started issuing those warm, fluffy comforters that make sleep ing an even greater pleasure.
 eos, however, report trouble. Before the coming of the comfor- ters the reveille whistle had but to pierce a wool blanket. Now it must penetrate the two-fold thickness of cotton. That's big test for any cos lung power.

Bradley Field Gets World Series News Via PA System

Every afternoon during the World Series the Base public ad- dress system emits it's shrill whis- tie at various intervals and the voice of Bradley's own Red Barber is heard broadcasting the latest score to a waiting populace. Pete Luddy, who must definitely favor the Cardinals, gives the scores af- ter the third, sixth and ninth in- nings.
 During the first game his sten- torian voice was hushed to prac- tically whisper when the Browns went ahead by 20. In the second fray he shouted the result as the Redbirds forged to the front, whis- pered the news of the Browns ty- ing runs and nearly tore the sys- tenn apart when the Cards scored the winning marker in the last of the eleventh.

Camouflage School
 Shows GI How to Hide From All but Himself

Who was that bush I saw you out with last night?
 That was no bush. That was Sgt Magriel, camoufaged.
 All of which is our own some what pathetic way of explaining that although it's the fall season, the Base is literally blossoming with budding camoufeurs, the per ennial species.
 Last week an eight hour course in camoufage was initiated at the Base with daily schedule made up of units from the various Sec tions. The classes began at 080O and concluded at approximately 1880 with the morning devoted to lectures and films and the after noon allotted to visiting the camou- f1age exhibition near the West Gate. During the afternoon those attending the class get a chance to "hide" a truck, construct fox hole cover and learn how to weave a net. Conducting the classes is a group of camoufage engineers from Mitchell Field.
 As one camoufeur would say to another: Don't look now but your shine is showing" (See! We've even learned how to disguise the humor in this report.)

BradIey's Own Newspaper
 Completes Year or Service

It was just one year ago this coming Monday that the first issue of the Bradley BEAM was distrib- uted to waiting Air Base-if not world.
 Under the guidance of our pres ent Base Special Service Officer, Major Gilbert Fitch, and with the approval of Col. Ivor Massey, Base Commanding Officer at that time, the publication was "activated" in the latter part of September and a first edition date of Saturday, 9 October 1943, was set.
 Sgt. Bob Levi (then a Pfc.) and Cpl. Malcolm Hernandez (then a Pvt.) were assigned as editors. Correspondents from the various organizations at the Base were ap- pointed to represent their units with columns, the Photo Lab was put to work providing pictures and the Public Relations Office began to check the copy before publica- ton.
 PLENTY OF COLUMNISTS
 Since the first issue was published many columns have graced the pages of the BEAM with a good percentage of these writers now serving overseas or at other Bases S/Sgt. Edgar A. Lansing, who wrote Somewhere in Skunk Hollow" during the early his- tory Of the BEAM, is now in the ETC and has more recent ly written "A Tank in King Arthur's Court" exclusively for the BEAM. Sgt. Louise West, who wrote "Wac Facts and Fiction" is now It. West; T/Sgt. Max Dublin, of Con trol B0ald fame, is at Southern Base and the Bands former columnist, "SzOke," is neither here nor there as we can gather it.
 Sgt. Jack Brennan who wrote Disorder in the Orderly Room" for the 29th Air Base Squadron is still at this Base as is Cpl. Don Reichert who penned 'Out of Capsule" Miss Fletcher of the Library joined the BEAMS columnists in the first issue by intrOduc- ing "Joe Private" and the Windsor Locks USO Column, "You Said It Girls" has never missed an issue.

Finland S Reaction
10 Proeope Custer
Awaited in Capital
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.


Reaction of Finland to the State
departments order for Minister
fHalmar j. Procope and three of his
atties to leave the United States was
aSaited here yesterday as observers
wondered whether the Helsinki gov
eminent, now under virtual German
cSntrol, might use the occasion to
bleak the tenuous diplomatic ties
that still remain.
THE Minister, who has served here
since 1899 and was at one time ex-
tSemely popular with both the State
department. and Congress, is under
Instructions to leave as soon as his
transportation can be- arranged
Under similar orders are three coun-
sellors of his legation, T.. A. Va
hhrvuori, Urho Toivola and Rcsto
Solanka.
Foreign dispatches last night said
the Finnish people had not yet
heard of the action because of CEN
sorship control.
The administrations ousting of
Mr.. Procope, the fourth foreign
chief of a diplomatic mission in
American history to be declared
persona non grata while relations
were still maintained with the coun-
tory he represented, was charged
by the State Department with con-
duct "inimical" to the United
States.
Elaboration Not Made.
The department would not elabo-
rate on this accusation. In diplo-
matte circles, however, it was m-
derstood the Finnish diplomat fire.

war territorial status is likely to
arise.
Since the World War and the es-
tablishment of Finland as an inde-
pendent country it has enjoyed the
cordial friendship of America. Until
Finland became Germany's ally the
little country received more SYM
pathy and support from both the
American Government and people
than has been accorded, perhaps. to
any other small nation.
Remembering this, the Firms
probably will do everything possible,
within the limits OF their indepen-
dence under German tutelage, to
keep the friendship of the Ameri-
can people, realizing the support Of
this country may be all-important
to them when postwar boundaries
are determined.
Mr.. Knutson's speech yesterday
was taken as an indication of the
support the Firms still enjoy among
legislators having q large Finnish
element in their constituencies.
