What Send
To Our Boys
Over There
By ARLENE WOLF

The Allied invasion of Europe
means increased strains on supply
lines carrying the materials Of war
to Americas men overseas. So it's
of paramount importance now that
every package you send your SOL
der contains the things he actu-
ally wants or needs and not use
less articles to clutter up the mails.
Exactly what items the boys IN
France will be needing nobody
knows yet. But it's probably SAFE
tn assume that they will be able
to use the same articles they need
ed in England - candy, chewing
gum. popcorn, well packaged
cakes. cookies and groceries. In
England, cigarettes are ratloned TO
seven packs week, so If your I'll
smokes more than that, carton or
two will come in handy. But don't
load him down with clothing or
sweaters that he will either have to
throw away or jam into an alreacy
heavy battle pack.
War correspondents returning
from the various theaters OF war
have seen many a soldier open a
package that Travelled thousands CT
miles, only to find the contents
ruined or useless. What seems a
logical thing to send isn't always
useful-despite the cold in Alaska,
for example. Johnnie doesn't need
sweaters, mufflers or socks. The
Army supplies him with all t ii
warm clothing he can wear.
If he's up in Alaska, Johnnie
would appreciate soma fancy gro
ceries, powdered cocoa to make
warm drink, cookies or fruit cake.
Best of all he'd like electrical fix
tures-wall plugs, two way sock
cts, and electrical wire, to help
make t h Alaskan huts little
more like home. Even an electric
razor would be fine, if he had the
proper electrical connections. But
cigarettes and candy are useless,
because both items are unrationed
and plentiful in the Alaskan thea
ter.
Letters and snapshots are tops
CT any serviceman's list, w i h
good books, magazines and a SUBJ
scription to the home town paper
running next. Any CT who totes
q camera can use film, if you can
find it. Don't send salamis or bo-
lognas, unless your soldier re-
quests them specially, for most
boys find the Army feeds them
plenty of cold meats.
The correspondents agree that
any soldier would be Every en-
barrassed" to receive fox-hole
pillow, pajamas or other sissified
equipment. Stationary's exc SIS
baggage, unless the serviceman
asks for it, because most mail SER
geants have supplies. Cookies are
fine, but if you can't bake really
good ones, the boys would rather
have the commercial variety, with
less sentiment and more edibility.
In Italy and Africa, candy d
cigarettes are rationed, so they'd
be welcome in any parcel. So would
mild cheeses (packed in glass;,
jellies, socks, coldwater shaving
sticks and sweaters for the winter.
Boys in China, Burma or India
don't need cigarettes, because they
can get all they want. Large, hard
chocolate bars that can Withstand
the heat are fine, and so are tin
boxed candies tn won't melt
away. Extra socks, shirts n d
sleeveless sweaters come in handy
sometimes, but don't send any I'M
derwear. Also useful are fountain

To Keep Jobs

Millions of women in war work,
who were expected to return TO
their homes after the war, have
no intention of going back to
their kitchens, at least without a
fight, the national women's COM

today.
Pointing out that thousands of
women war workers who may
lose husbands, sons or sweet
hearts in the war must not be
faced with unemployment after
victory. the committee announced
a national UAW-CIO women's
conference will be held at the
Book Cadillac Dec. S and 9.
Among the many outstanding
speakers who will address the
conference are Mrs. K amor
Roosevelt, Mrs. Helen Gahagan
Douglas, congreSSwoman-elect
from California, and Miss Freda
Miller. chief of the women's
bureau, u. S. Department Of
Labor.

grade developed into hand-to-

at the center of the city last
night while combined forces
of Russian, Bulgarian AND
Yugoslav troops spread out
along the trans-Balkan rail
way to a distance'of ITS miles
south of the Yugoslav CAPT
tai.
This stranglehold on t h main
rail route leading north from
Athens threatened to choke off the
retreat of large German forces
from Greece even before the COM
bined drive westward had made
more than a dent into Yugoslavia.

que announced that the important
highway and railway junction of
Mis-, 125 miles southeast of Bel
grade had been captured by united
action.
Seizure of the, city already had
been announced Saturday by the
Bulgarians, who apparently, from
the language of the Russian COM
played the bigges role
in this action.
Moscow said: The Bulgarian
army, operating against the Ger
mans together with troops of the
Yugoslav national liberation army
and with our troops have captured

Moscow's announcement tonight,
however, said that this combined
drive had rolled Up additional Sue

far down as Vranje, 50 miles south
of Mis-. In the process the COM
bined forces captured Leskovac, 81
miles south Of Mis-, and punched
10 miles westward, taking Leblanc.
The liberation Of Belgrade itself
seemed imminent.
The Algiers radio, broadcasting
all account Of the fighting in Yu-

the city already had been freed
and that the Russians with Marshal
Tito's partisans had fought their
way to Belgrade's principal square.

Meet Little
Opposition

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-(R,-
An almost complete lack of enemy
air opposition in both the attacks
of B-29 Superfcrtress bombers
against Formosa was reported to-
day by the Goth air force.
A statement by General H. H.
Arnold. commander of the goth,
said that reconnaissance photo
graphs of the first mission made
two days ago showed that "an air
strips in the target area were in
operable due to bomb damage
and that at least so aircraft had
been destroyed or damaged on the
ground.
''Since our targets were some
what removed. from these air
fields" the statement added, "it is
presumed that most of the dam.
age had been inflicted earlier by
navy carrier-borne attacks, and
that the same navy operations
against the island of Formosa are
responsible for the lack of enemy
air opposition to the B-29 assaults
The result is that the B-29's had a
freedom of action for the accom-
plishment of their missions thai
might not otherwise have beer
possible. l.sea-------s q. sa.s4~--s
The second attack on Formoss
had been disclosed by the Wa
department earlier, which saie
the mission had been carried gu

Plane Reported Missing
By Tampa Army Air Base

TAMPA, Fla, Oct. 16.-tR>-The
Third Air force headquarters start
ed a widespread search today for
a missing transport plane carry
ing five officers.
The plane was last heard from
last night while over Cross City,
Fla, during a return flight from
the Athens, Ca, airport. 1t took
off from Athens at 6:24 p. m. and
while over Cross City at 1853 ask
ed for weather conditions in the
Tampa area.
The weather at that time was re-
ported good, and Drew Field Off
Gals expected the plane to land
within an hour. Nothing more was
heard from the ship, however.
Headquarters said the search
would continue until all possibili-
ty of forced landing in the gulf
or some remote section had been
exhausted.
