 The Japanese radio yesterday an- nounced that American bomber crewmen who parachuted from damaged ships would be killed by the Japanese people. Some of the Doolittle raiders were executed"
 China repeatedly has accused Japanese commanders of using gas. On one occasion President Roose- welt threatened reprisals if Japanese gas tactics could be proven. Some responsible American military men believe gas woul abe more effective and more humane than other wea- pons under certain conditions. For instance, in clearing cliff caves of isolated Japanese garriSonS there is not much argument among military men that gas would be the best weapon from the standpoint of conserving American lives.
 Against the use of gas it was ar gued that it would be as hard on friendly native populations in the area as upon the Japanese. Some military men intimated that prin- cipal obstacle to any recommends ton that we utilize gas is a belief that the American public would not stand for it.
 A few more murders of Amer ican airmen forced down in Japan might change that, assuming that the officers were correct in believ- ing that the American public was not ready now to support the use of gas against its enemies. The most persuasive argument in aligning

 A triumphant Moscow coIn- munique revealed that the Russians were pushing out to the west ana northwest at top speed, raising the double threat of an invasion drive to the Austrian border, barely 100 miles away, as well as an envelop- ing thrust around the southern flank of Budapest.

Mink Story
Another Good

was very much interested in
reading the account of Mr.. De
Rosia's experience with mink, but
] can go him one better, in fact two
better, in recounting similar ex-
perience | had a number of years
ago. After a successful forenoon's
fishing in a mountain stream tenn
ing with small trout, | sat down OH
a log at the very edge of the water
to clean my catch. 1t was the very
same log | had used the previous
evening while cleaning the trout
caught that afternoon, and | noticed,
and wondered why, there remained
no signs of the offal left on the
rocks or edge of the stream. The
explanation was soon apparent. In
cleaning the fish / would throw the
offal into the shallow water next
to the shore, where naturally some
of it would lodge, and place the
cleaned fish on the rocks between
my feet. After cleaning several fish,
this was before the days of legal
limits on your catch, a mink sud
denly appeared on the scene, ran
out to the waters edge and soon To-
Gated some offal which it carried
into the brush behind me. In an
other minute or SO, two more mink
put in their appearance and all
three became busily engaged in
transporting offal into the bushes.
! continued to clean fish, but kept
throwing the offal on the rocks
nearer and nearer to where | sal
until the mink were almost at my
feet. They paid no attention to me,
being evidently completely engros-
sed with the business of carrying off
all the food | had to offer them.
making no attempt to eat any of it
but hurrying back and forth as fast
as they could go. After my fish
were all cleaned and there was no
more offal for them, one of the mink
came boldly up and grabbed one Of
my cleaned fish from between my
feet and started for the brush with
it. / had to scramble after and slap
him with my hand before he would
drop the fish.
One interesting thing | noticed
was that they used their sense of
smell almost entirely in locating
the offal. Their eyes are placed
high on their heads, and they would
hop around shifting the air, ap-
parently not seeing the offal at all
and would be right on top Of, to
them, delectable bit, before their
sensitive nose would locate it.
| have often thought of this ev-
perience and wished that / could
have had with me at the time q
small modern movie comera so thai
the scene could be shown in pic
lures to those interested in wild
life, and especially to some doubt
ing people who think that the &C
count of it was Just another fish

Uncle Sam, with millions upon

plus supplies on his hands, will
soon be going into big business
and the City of Detroit is already
rracttitte fef-tts Peeketbeek-te-be-
come one of his biggest and stead
lest customers.
When Uncle Sam fights a war,
he doesn't buy the bare essentials
Tor victory, He figures out what
he will need and then doubles or
triples the order, Just in case the
lob is twice as hard as he figured.
As a result, on the floors and IN
the Storerooms Of American fac
tories, on the docks and ware
houses of our shipping centers, IN
army camps and naval bases and
even on the battlefields are tons
OF goods which may never be used
in the war.
With the exception of weapons
and ammunition, most OF the
things which an army uses are
also the things a city uses. These
range from typewrlters 20 bull

construction machinery office
supplies. foodstuffS. fuel, medical
supplies, clothing and textiles IRON
and steel products and school and

Mayor Jeffries became inter-
