United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, May 3-(UP)-Paul-
cite Goddard, weather-beaten and
tanned, cried today as she describ-
ed her tour through Burma, India
and China where the American
soldiers smelled her hair, kissed her
cheek and called her Madame
Cheescake.
1T was a tremendous emotional
experience" she said.
In many places, she said, sne was
the first American girl the Amer
leans had seen ain ages"
They are wonderful, fine Ameri-
can guys" she said, sobbing as she
spoke Of their high morale and gay
spirits despite frightening" condi-
tons.
Il always tried to look my best"
she said. II wore shorts and a. halter
with a lot of flowers in my hair-or
those bare-midriff dresses with Sc
quins on them that the boys like.
Even when it was cold I stripped out
of my wooden undies and put on
bit of glamor for them"
In many places on her tour of the
far eastern battlefields. she slept in
sleeping bags on the ground or in
specially erected tent.
She washed her face in left over
tea, creamed 1t with castor oil and
scrubbed her teeth with grapefruit
juice, she said
"One boy asked please, could he
smell my hair" she said. He said
I was the incest thing he'd smelled
since he left home"
Madame Cheescake
While the American boys called
her Madame Cheescake," she said,
the British soldiers were more form
al and called her "P. c." The Chi
nese she said called her American
girl of electric form" and Miss
Precious Cargo"
Once, Miss Goddard said. she pos
sibly escaped death when scheduled
to fly over the hump Of the Himal-
ayas. The weather was bad, she
said. and the pilot suggested they
drop behind for a night. She agreed,
and another plane which essayed
the flight that night crashed In
the mountains.
Another time, she said. her plane
was caught in a wind pocket and
she tainted as 1t plummeted 5000
feet. A flight surgeon grounded her
for three days after that, she said,
describing her illness as pilots
fatigue"
Generals as wei: as enlisted men
appreciated her visits. Miss Goddard
said, urging more actresses In the
flesh" TO tour the China Burma
India theaters. Mai. Gen. Claire !.
Chennault. she said. gave her flow
ers to wear In her hair, and 1t. Gen.
Joseph w. stilweli-"who has Q

BUY WAR BONDS . STAMPS
Evening star., 1944-01-17
Token Questions Answered

WIFI TaClOu tokens scheduled to
come into use February ~, the fol-
lowing questions and answers have
been issued by the Office of Price
Administration to help consumers
understand how they will buy with
this new ration currency:
q. When will begin to use ration
tokens?
A. Consumers will begin to re-
ceive tokens in change from their
retailers on February q. They can
be used Immediately.
Q. Will OPA give each consumer
a certain number of tokens when
this new program begins, just as
everybody was given a supply OF
ration stamps?
A. No. The only tokens you will
get are those your retailer gives you
in change.
Q. Why will I need ration change?
So far. except for receiving one
point meat stamps in change, have
just counted out the right number of
stamps to. give my retailer when ]
have bought rationed foods.
A. You will need change when
tokens go into use because each red
and each blue stamp in your ration
book will be worth 10 points. 1t
will no longer be SO easy to give
your dealer an exact number of
points as it was when you had 8
5. and l point stamps to use
@. If each stamp will be worth 10
points will I have more points to
spend than do now?
A. No. You will have almost ex-
actly the same number of points
that you have now. You will simply
use fewer stamps during any one
ration period. That's one advantage
OF the new plan, since handling
fewer stamps will cut down the work
of your retailer and will make your
ration book last longer.
@. When each stamp is worth 10
points, how will OPA adjust the ra-
tlonlng program so as to give me
the same number of points per
month that I have now?
A. At present, three sets of proc
essed foods stamps, a total of IL
stamps, are worth 48 points. Under
the token system, five blue stamps,
worth 10 points each, will have a
total value of SO points. This small
difference of two points can be ad-
justed by slight change in the
point value of processed foods.
Q. Will meat stamps be handled
the same way?
A. Yes. At present each con-
sumer gets Is meat points a week
or 80 points every two weeks. Under
the token system three red stamps,
worth 10 points each, will give him
80 points to use during the first two
weeks of token rationing. AS in
processed foods rationing the small
dlfference of two points will be ad-
Justed in the point value of items
rationed under the meat order.
Evening star., 1944-01-17

@. What will consumers do with
their tokens?
A. They will use them very much
as they now use pennies. A con-
sumner who buys items worth 23 blue
points, for example. will give his
retailer two blue stamps Ca total of
20 points, and three blue tokens
leach worth one point. If he has
no tokens he will give his retailer
three blue stamps go points and
receive seven blue tokens in change.
@. Is there any diff lrence be-
tween the meat and the processed
food tokens?
e A. The only difference in the two
kinds of tokens is in their color.
The colors match the stamps with
which they will be used, blue stamps
and blue tokens for processed foods,
red stamps and red tokens for meats
and fats.
@. If I have no blue tokens may
I use red ones to pay for proceSsed
foods?
A. No. You will use two kinds of
Evening star., 1944-01-17

tokens Just as you have always used
two kinds Of point stamps-one set
for ,processed foods, the other for
meats.
9. What Is the advantage Of using
tokens?
A. Tokens are expected to make
rationing simpler, both for con-
sumers and for the trade. There
will be point currency of only two
denominations-all stamps will be
worth 10 points; all tokens, one point.
Consumers who have long used
dimes and pennies will find it easier
to figure than when they. handled
ration stamps worth eight, five. two
and one point. 1t will be easier for
retailers to count stamps and to
make change than when they had
to examine each stamp to determine
its point value. Tokens are also
easier to handle than stamps.
@. Will I turn in my ration tokens
at the end of each ration period?
A. No. Tokens have no expira-
ton date.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 18.-(R
Nays powerful Middies tuned
up for that all-important December
2 date with unbeaten Army today
by pounding out a five-touchdoWn
tattoo against gambling "shoot
the works" Purdue team, beating
the Boilermakers 2 to 0 before
about $4,000 in Municipal stadium.
The 1943-co-champions of the
Western conference reached Navy
territory only once-the 32-yard
line-as they absorbed their first
whitewashing in 10 contests. The
Navy line stopped all Purdue
threats, but the Boilermakers
never stopped trying, attempting
to plunge for yardage several
times on fourth down deep in their
own country.
Navy used four full teams in
romping to the victory, including
four complete backfields, and it
didn't make much difference who
was in there. The Middies cashed
two quick touchdowns in the first
period, got another in the third,
and then raced to two more in the
last session as the Indiana squad
tired.
Two of the touchdoWns came on
plunges, and three on passes,
while three threats were halted in
the shadow 4sf the Purdue goal
posts on fumbles, intercepted
passes and stolen balls.
Little Hal Hamberg, the 150-
pound Navy half back from Lon
oke, Ark, was the Navy spark
plug. The youngster, out with in
juries most of the season, set up
the first touchdown with runs OF
