At the school, on a tropical island" just of the Florida coast airmen destined for duty on the Burma or Pacific islands fronts are taught how to keep themselves alive if ever they are stranded in the jungle. After attending lectures. the students are put on an Atlantci island alone and must survive a six- day Laboratory test" by living oI the island.
 They are taught that rattiesnake. alligator or land turtle steaks are delicious and make a filling meal if served with a side dish of boiled water hyaeinth flowers, a mixed salad of hearts-of- -palm, Yucca flowers and seaplnes and sliced mango or prickly pears. On the island they have to put their knowl- edge tO practical use or go hungry for six days.
 Generals G0 Native
 Not only the lower grades among the flying officers, but two generals, hundreds of majors have gone na- tive" on the island proving ground, The island teens with game-alli- gators, turtles. rattlesnakes, as well as snails, mussels, oysters and small iish-tO be eaten raw.
 It. R, A. Howard, of Haryard's faculty, a 26-year-Old b0tanist and biologist and member of the Society of Fellows, a research group, pre- pared the practical course in Rob- lns0n crus0e survival tactics, He deyided flora and fauna into edible and poisonous and taught the air- men the differences,
 Since almost 70 island has pure water, the CTusoes are taught to drink eocoanut milk or to slice the thick stems of the lianas, the wild- grape vines of tropical forests, and drink the sweet clean sap that pours out.
 The Howard method warns wOuld-he jungle survivors against nibbling, He urges them to stick to the usual three meals a day be- cause nibbling spOils the appetite and does not relieye hunger, He realizes that not much Of the jun- gle food Is appeti2lng, especially the Tattlesnake steaks, but he believes that an appetite can be worked up simply by aFranging all the finds daintjly on a broad banana leal while collecting the maktngs Of 6np- per. The meal can he made more attractive by using big shells as dishes,
 4 fundamental rule Is never to take of your shoes, because many island plants are poisonous and snakes are also menaee,
 The survival class Is taught to make its own cooking utensils by cutting thick stalks Of bamboo, Eaell segment cut between the dla' phragms makes Q perfect boiling kettle, If the bamboo Is green ll will not burn, Just as Q preeaUtl0D against real starVati0n, each candidate IS gwen box of K-ratl0ns for "RuFylyal emergency" but most of them pride themselves on their ability to get along without it.

Never before has Britain or any
other nation taken such stringent
measures as this one designed to
insure that no inkling of the COM

While the British governments
action was not seen as accusing
any of the Allies or neutrals of will
fully divulging secrets, it was
designed to keep innocent-looking

the safety of tens of thousands
of British and American soldiers.
Both the United States and Rus
