The W ashing ion Merry Go Round
WASH MERRY Go-MOORE mi
By DREW PEARSON It. Col Robert s. Allen now on active
 service with the Army)

WASH MERRY GO-MOORE mi
 WASHINGTON - Those in the know inside of the Pentagon Building say. that if there is ever a thorough army probe it will show that U. s. Intelligence fell down even mora badly than former Chief of Staff, Gen Peyton c. March, indicated regarding advance pre- parations for the German break through. Even American news dis patches told of German activity behind the lines and lights burning at night.
 Military experts also say, how ever, that other factors contributed to the serious setback, one of them being failure to have experienced colonels and lieutenant-co colonels as field commanders. They trace this back to a ruling by the late Gen. McNair, commander of the ground forces, that no colonel over 48 could serve in combat overseas.
 This meant that many of the Regular Army, Nationa al Guard and Reserve Officers who had been under fire in the last war, trained their men in the United States, went. with them to the port of embarkation, then were left be- hind at desk jobs in the United States. Youngsters, who were only lieutenants and captains in 1941, took their places. These youngsters had all the courage and vigor in the world, but they lacked one thing so all-important in battle experience under fire.

BODIES ARE
 BURNEDpAST RECOGNITION
Charred Remains Taped, Wrapped for Removal
 from Gutted House

Two blackened corpses were found by members of the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department this morning after they subdued the blaze that gutted Charley Towards home between the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company's power plant and the government hospital So burned are the bodies that immediate iden- tification is impossible. Neither could the officials tell whether they were man or woman.
 The alarm was turned in at $40 o'clock this morning by Pauline Smith, of the staff of the Govern ment Hospital
 Shortly before the alarm was sounded Dr. H. Kaack, accompan- fed by Mike Johns and Oscar Pear son ran to the house to try to arouse the occupants. They kicked in the bedroom door and were near ly flattened by the flame and smoke issuing forth. They could arouse no one and could see no one in the smoke-filled house.
 The bodies were found in bed, one in the large, white metal bed and the other on the steel cot One body. the smaller one. was burned almost in half and morticians had to tape and wrap the remains to- gether before they could be placed in basket-stretchers
 Chief of Police John Monagle said efforts would be made this after nocn to have them identified at Carters Mortuary, job which one Of the policemen said would be hard this time of the year, as many of the natives and whites living in that area are out of town.
 Acting Fire Chief Minard Mill said the fire in the two-room house evidently started in the bedroom, as most of the flames were there when firemen arrived on the scene. Flames were mostly confined to the bedroom. Many of the people on the scene thought the fire may have started from a cigarette, but officially the cause has not been determined
 Officials called to the scene were U. s. Commissioner Felix Gray. As- sistant District Attorney Robert L. Tollefson. Deputy Marshal Sid Thompson, Chief of Police John Monagle and Patrolman Ernest Gil- llgan.

pointed out, was 5000 below the
ceiling set for the Army by the War

said to be far under the require

Plans are being worked out for

today.
Meanwhile, 1000 medical officers

Cheat the Moths;
Store WOOIens

Clothe5 are expensive and diff
ficult to buy, so save them from
moths.
Sunlight, dampness and dirt are
other enemies that call for early
storage of winter woolens. Helen A.
wellington, instructor in textiles,
clothing and related arts at Mich
igan State college, suggests that it's
not too early to begin preparing
the clothes that are no longer being
used for the summer hide-a-way.
The first rule is to have clean
clothing, for the clothes moth
glories in CRIME, but dislikes clean
illness. Most of the clothing prob
ably should go to the cleaners, but
check all Of 1t for spots, stains and
dust. Clean out the pockets, give
everything an energetic brushing
and let the garments watt in the
spring breezes while preparing a
place to store them.
More of the dislikes of moths
should be considered In choosing a
storage place. Usually a closet is the
homemaker's best bet, but only if it
Is alright, dry, cool and dark. 1t
should be alright to prevent fumes
from the spry, flakes or balls from
escaping: dry to prevent the growth
Of mildew in precious fabric; cool
to prevent growth Of moths; and
dark to keep colors from fading.
To discourage moths and car
pet beetles, use the moth spray,
flakes or balls generously, but avoid
putting the flakes or balls directly
on the woolens, as they have been
known to fade garments. Since
fumes from the flakes or balls go
downward, the best place for them
is on a high shelf, or in a cloth
sack hung from a high hook on the
ceiling. Wooden clothing placed in
sealed or closed garment bags can
then be hung in the closet.
In storing blankets, sweaters,
draperieS and other flat woolens,
see that they are clean and then
wrap in several thickness of paper
making the package air-tight by
sealing with Scotch or brown tape.
Then place in a cool, dry, drak
place.
