Mel OFT, opening his third term
as boss of the giants, told his
pIoygrs at Lakewood, N. j., be-

sifiei Ia but had no idea when
he might be called up. OFT, 35-

said that he did not expect to be
called for examination until mid

next big Black Sea detectives, the
ports of Nikolaev. IS miles north

through which the Germans must
retreat along the Black Sea coast
