British spokesman revealed
that the Burma town of Tiddim,
40 miles south of the Indian FROM
tier, had been abano oned by the
allies without fight, presumably
when the Japanese first launched
their drive northward along the
Tiddim-I -Imphal road some weeks
ago.
Its fall was not regarded as inn.
portant to the British frontier ce-
fense, however since their main
lines were drawn up about Is miles
further north and the town appar-
emily had been by-passed previous
ly by the Japanese.
FROM THREE POINTS
An allied communique revealed
that Japanese invasion forces had
fought their way to within striking
distance OF Kohima from three di-
rections. Two advanced units cut
across the Imphal-Kohima high
way south of the town and other
raiding parties stabbed into the
British lines from the north, while
the main attacking force drove in
from the east.
simultaneously, it was revealed
that another Japanese column had
driven Is miles into India from
Tamu to reach the Ft1el urea, only
20 miles southeast of Imphal.
Gen. Sir Claude J. E. Auchinleck,
command noer-in-chief in India, re-
ported to the assembly in New Del
hi that the. Japanese had reached
the main British defenses around
Kohima and that stiff fighting has
been under way for the past two
days.
BRITISH MAKE STAND
Auchinleck declared that power
full British forces are defending
both Kohima and Imphal, and
pledged determined fight to hold
both towns.
Our commanders have no in
tention that Imphal should fall
into enemy hands," he said.
THE enemy's object" he added,
appears to be to establish himself
before the monsoon in the Imphal
and Kohima area and then attempt
to strike our rail and river COM
munications from Calcutta along
the Brehmaputra (river) into north
eastern Assam"
The allied communique, mean
while, said one Japanese raiding
party had established a temporary
road block on the Imphal- Kohima
road, Wednesday, damaged bridge
and ambushed "one or two motor
transports" before being driven off.
On Thursday, however, a second
enemy force reached the hills Just
east of the road and opened fire
on British transport with trench
mortars.
JAPS CLAIM SUCCESS
A japanese communique said the
invaders cut the highway at point
about 20 miles below Kohima. The
allied communique did not locate

up Rance Baker to find out what
comes next.
He was evasive. He limited at
tremendous things to come. Baker
talked vaguely OF putting in crop

of alcohol from farm products. He
also said he was interested in corn

Frenzied questioning wore Baker
out at last and he finally confessed.

us. Faces Postwar
Shortage Of Scientists
. By the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated PreSS.
DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur says the
Nation faces a dangerous shortage
of scientists and technicians in the
critical postwar years unless Gov
ernment manpower agencies agree
on deferment of certain students as
essential to the national welfare.
The chancellor of Stanford Uni
versity, who is chairman of the War
Department Advisory Committee on
Army Specialized Training, told
press conference yesterday that the
number of scientific students in
American colleges and universities
is less than one-third the normal
number, "and We never had a sur
plus"
The committee of IL college ad-
ministrators which he heads has
presented a resolution to the War
Manpower Commission, selective
service and the War and Navy De-
partments, asserting that "it would
be national folly" to fail to select
and train an adequate number Of
students in such fields as chemistry,
physics, advanced engineering, bac-
,teriology, biology and premedical
and prudential studies.
THE War Manpower Commits
sion, the selective service and the
two departments need some CO.
ordination, and they don't seem to
be able to get it," DR.. Wilbur said.
His committee has not prepared
any plan for selection and training
of students, DR.. Wilbur said, be-
cause plan would be useful only
If the Government agencies saw the
need and were prepared to act.
DR.. Wilbur said Britain and Can
ada, suffering the loss of their most
promising youths in the World
War, have learned their lesson"
and now exempt qualified students
in restricted fields from military
service and assign them to con-
tinued study.

Corner
BY MARY DOUGLAS

Maryland berries are now at their
best. and we are being reminded to
make the best use of them, by using
them fresh, or putting them up in
various ways for next winters use.
Miss Margaret McPheeters. spe-
cialist in nutrition for the Maryland
University Extension Service, says
that canning berries is easy if these
few simple rules are carefully fol-
lowed:
Use "water-bath" Gamer with a
good-fitting lid and rack. Keep the
water | to inches above the jars
and boiling all the time. Start count
ing time when the water is boiling.
Can fresh, firm, well-ripened ber
ries. Wash, drain and sugar the
berries, using 2 tablespoonful TO
Il cup of sugar for each quart of
berries, depending upon the tartness
of the fruit The sugared berries
may be heated Immediately or let
stand for few hours or over night
Heat slowly to boiling Pack the hot
berries in hot, sterilized jars and ill
with hot berry juice. Shake the jar
to arrive out air, adjust the lid and
process Is minutes in water bath
If you prefer to fill the jars with raw
berries, shake down well and cover
with syrup made of pure berry
juice and sugar Adjust lid and pro-
cess 20 minutes in water bath The
berries sugared down for several
hours and packed hot will give a
better pack, a more natural color,
and better favored product.
Berry jelly is made of "a ripe and
"a slightly under-ripe berries. Elk
tract pure juice without adding wa
ter To each cup of pure berry juice
add "a cup of sugar. Heat slowly
until the sugar is dissolved, then
boil rapidly until the sheet test
when two drops of juice go into one
and tear or sheet off the spoon. Re-
move from hre, skim, and pour into
sterilized glasses When jelly is
"set," cover with smoking hot paraf-
fin and tight-ftting lid. Store in a
cool, dry place.
Berry Jam is made by heating the
berries slowly to boiling, without
water, and boil until the mixture
begins to thicken. Then add to
" cups of sugar to each quart OF
berries. Cook as rapidly as possible
without scorching until done; that
is, thick enough to hold shape with
out spreading. Fill containers, seal
and store in a cool, dry place.
Corn syrup can replace "a of the
sugar in jam and jelly, and even
more in canning.
