Allied fighters destroyed several
of the bombs in the air before they

ploc ed in the air when neither

An appeal for ten volunteer sales
men to make special bond sales

THE sale to special buyers has
been neglected and volunteers have

Twas Lit Up

MEXIA, Tex, June 81. CUP)-
The mystery of those glowing
roaSts and steaks has been solved.
1t was caused by pSeudomonas
phosphorescens.
That's a tWo-dollar word for a
tiny organism which was respon-
Sibie for lit up meat sold by
five city meat markets. The Pc
culiar ghostly glow given off by
the meat was discovered by a
Negro who reported the incident
to the police.
DR.. j. S. Watson, city sani-
tartan, said the pSeudomonaS
phosphorescens thrives in damp
cold places such as storehouses
and apparently penetrated meat
shipment to MeXia.
Health officials said the glow
ing meat was not poisonous but
advised housewives to wash their
roastS and steaks in vinegar be-
fore cooking.

Ukraine Is Sea Of Mud as
Snow Melfs Strong
holds Taken

MOSCOW, March 7. - The Red
Army brought the war closer to
Rumania, all but isolating General
Won Mannstein's Southern Ukraine
Army from Germany and Poland,
and are swinging on despite weather
SO bad the Soviet dispatches de-
scribed it as almost impossible"
AT some places where the Rus
slams have taken strongholds on the
Odressa- Warsaw railway. Sovie t
units are 81 miles from the Ru-
manian border beyond the Moldav-
ian Republic. This refers to the
border established in 1910 when Ru-
mania was ceded Bessarabia and
northern Bucovina.
Frontline dispatches said the snow
Is washed away by heavy rains and
the wide fields of the Ukraine are
ponds and areas of mud. Red Star
dispatches pointed out how the lack
of roads and mud brought about
the parallel chasings" of the Ger
man army, which indicated the Ger

PREDICTING
BIG. SMASH
Undersea Craft Are Doing
Great Work-Another
AtoII Is Captured

WASHINGTON, March Z. - Adj
miral Chester w. Nimitz reported
on his arrival here for series OF
conferences, that American forces
have occupied Majuro Atoll in the
Marshall Islands and also that our
submarines may deliver killing
blow on the Pacific.
Admiral Nimitz said the American
troops encountered no opposition
when they invaded Majuro, a for
mer supply base. No Japs were
found on the Atoll, Admiral Nimitz
told the newsmen, adding the little
island will provide the American
forces with a good anchorage for
advance positions in the mid-Pacific
Marshalls.
Admiral Ninitz declined any dis
cussions the new base might be
used for.
AS for the work of the American
submarines, Admiral Nimitz said
They are taking such heavy toll
of Jap shipping that the lack of
shipping may be controlling fac
tor in the war against Japan. Our
submarines are increasing in num-
Der and efficiency even though the
number of targets is slowly de-
creasing."
