French Gals Decked
Out in Lingerie
Made of Parachufes

US. BOMBER BASE IN ENG
LAND Aug. 24-(P)-Women
in southern France were doubly
pleased when US. Flying Fort
resses dropped guns and supplies
to the Maquis-they used the
silk parachutes TO make under
drawers.
Facts behind three fortress
missions to the guerrillas, kept
secret for months, were dis
closed today. An American in
fantry general and American
Marines were on the ground
with the Maquis.
"The French women really
went for those silk parachutes," "
said Col. Karl Truesdale. Jr..
Washington, DC, whose group
led the first two missions. "They
made drawers out of them. They
had a choice in colors, too. Red,
white and yellow parachutes
were used"
BY a pre-arranged signal the
Maquis on the ground told the
Fortress crews where to drop
arms and ammunition used in
the fight against the Nazis. On
several occasions sergeants hung
by one hand over open bomb
bay doors to cut the shrouds
of parachutes which opened up
inside the planes. 80

Plant Wheat
after Sept. IS
Expert Advises

Macomb county farmers plan
ming to sow wheat this year are
advised by County Agricultural
Agent William Murphy TO do so
after Sept. l8 TO avoid damage
from Hessian flies.
This date, which varies
throughout the state, is based
on the observations of entomol-
osists that in each locality after
certain date each year, there
is still time before winter to es-
tablish a stand of wheat but
not time for the adult Hessian
flies to lay eggs between the
leaves of wheat plants. These
dates are based on latitude, alti-
tude, and nearness to the Great
Lakes.
The Hessian fly does its DAM
age to young wheat stands
while in the larvae or maggot
stage. The larvae obtain food
by scraping the plant tissue,
thus weakening the stem and
interfering with the supply of
nutrients to the head of the
plant. Injured plants lodge and
show withered heads. In severe
infestatiors, complete loss of
the crop may result either from
the fall or from the spring at
tack.
Owing TO the necessity of
getting wheat established be-
fore cold weather it should be
planted as soon after the fly
free date as possible.

COMMUNICATION

Editor. The Empire, Dear Sir: There is a vacancy in the Terri torial Senate which is to be filled at a special election called for De- cember 2T.
 I am a candidate for that office, and believe the voters should be informed as to what I consider to be my qualifications.
 have been in Alaska since 1897, and have always been interested in the Tcrritory's activities and its problems.
 I have served four sessions in the Legislature, and in both Houses. Experience in handling governmental problems is just as valuable as ex- perience in business or the profes- sions.
 I have voted for such progressive measures as the creation of cur labor administrative agency, an overhaul and more efficient tax 5ys- tenn for the Territory; a measure designed to increase and liberalize the coverage under the Alaska Un- employment Compensation Law. l introduced and pressed for passage the bill setting up our modern school administration, the present Board of Education.
 I strongly advocated and voted for T bill providing for a common or aonpartisan primary ballot.
 1 have been called a conservative. If being conservative means keeping your head level and your feet on the round, then I believe am con- servative, and proud of it.
 l have no prejudices against any one or any group that would prevent me from supporting any measure proposed which in my judgment merits support.
 My present position on taxation is that we should run along on an even keel if possible until the war is over and Alaska settles down to a normal condition and We can take stock of our economic situation
 However, I believe the Legislature should make adequate provision, re- gardless of cost, to properly care for the needs of the returning eervicemen.
 Signed ALLEN SHATTUCK.

DONALD NELSON
 NEW ROOSEVELT
 REPRESENTATIVE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-Donald Nelson has been designated as the personal representative" of Presi- dent Roosevelt, and because of his rank, on cabinet level, will occupy offices in the White House.
 The appointment was confirmed by letter shortly before Nelson, former WIPE chief, left the United States on his second mission to Chungking to create Chinese War Production Board.
 It is learned that some friends of Nelson believe the appointment an interim device, emphasizing Nelson's role as direct economic en- yoy between the President and heads of foreign governments. It will probably be followed up by a more precise title.
 Congressional sources report that the President had picked Former Gov. Robert Hurley, of Connecticut, as Chairman of the Surplus War Property Disposal Board.

TWO 5UpER5 LOST IN BIG
 AIR BATTLE
Indicated Greatest Fight So Fsr Occurred Over
 Japan, China

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-Super- fortresses. plunging probably into the greatest air battle over the Jap homeland, yesterday lost two and possibly three of their number to enemy fighter planes, todays com- munique says.
 This is the first time that the Jap airmen have succeeded in bagging a Superfort since the in auguration of the 20th Bomber Command last June Is.
 Twenty Jap fighters were downed, 19 probably lost and 20 others damaged in the three -pronged strike by a large force of B-29's from China, aiming principally at the Omura aircraft plant at Kyu- shu, the southernmost home island of the Jap archipelago.
 Tokyo broadcasts claimed that 63 Superforts were downed or dam aged over Kyushu and China as a result of Tuesdays operations None of our planes were lost at the secondary targets-ports of Nan king and Shanghai military facili- ties, says the communique, which went on to explain that weather forced partial diversion of the assault on Omura.p
 Two Superforts were definitely lost to enemy fighters in the mis- sion to Omura, and one other was "unreported under circumstances which lead to the presumption that it was lost,' the communique con tinued.
 The communique added the losses resulted in what early reports in- dicate was the largest air battle in which the Superfortresses have engaged"
 Unofficial compilation of g communiques issued prior to today's showed that 13 Superforts have been lost or are missing

 Still another threat to the Ger mans in that general sector is seen in the Berlin announcement that the Russians mcorked fresh push in Czechoslovakia, southwest of Ungar, 75 miles northeast of Mis- kolc.
 A Moscow communique said Ger man forces pocketed in southwest Latvia, made 40 vain counter attacks in a single day, below Jel- gava, losing 13 tanks, but the an- nouncement still didn't confirm Berlin assertions the Russians had begun a major offensive Sunday.
