NOW THEY CAN BE TOLD
 Before the United States airmen bombed Tokyo our "brains depart u1ent1 built replica (exact in ale most every detail) of Japan's lead- Ing city - in Florida =. The estreets'' were the same measure n1ents as those in Tokyo-and the buildings exactly the same height with the exact number of windows We even went to the extreme of selecting the same wood used in Tokyo buildings Our think department" in Washington decided that if we were going to set Tokyo on fire we should see beforehand exactly how it would burn .. Experiments in Florida revealed that when we bombed Florida Tokyo" and fires started-other bombs ext.nguished the flames .. This was why: It seems that with the buildings razed to the ground --there was not enough draft to keep the fires blazing Our scien- ttsts finally found the right in- gredients for such bombs .. We then dropped 'incendiary bombs followed by anti-personnel bombs. . The incendiarieS started the fires and the anti-personnels kept Jap firemen from rushing through Tokyo streets to fight them!
 The English had whole fields filled with poison gas alerted (throughout the war) with planes ready Cat the first use of poison gas by Hitler on British territory to dump the entire capacity of Bri- tish gas on all of Germany. That's why Hitler never used his.
 Remember Disney's film of Major DeSeversky's Victory Through Air Power? It was an entertaining pie ture, wasn't 1t? Well, it was more than that to alert and clever BritisherS When they saw the film-they noted one of Disney's animated ideas-a bomb that deeply penetrated into the earth before ex- ploding "Hmmm," hummm'd one British genius, mot bad idea. attawl, attawl." He proceeded to experiment with Disney's gag (. The British always hoped for a bomb like 1t to smash the giant submarine pens which were made of solid concrete many feet under wa ter Britishers finally experi- mented with two such bombs-two was all they needed to do the job of destroying Hitler's sub pens .. It should thrill Walt Disney to know that British history books will call them Disney Bombs"
 Some paratrOOpers (on certain missionS) were equipped with com- passes. The JapS never found them The reason: These miniature compaSSes were concealed in our paratroopS' military buttons!
 You didn't really read about "the last shots of the war" because the actual last shots haven't been re- pOrted-until right now A So- viet tank division, lined hub to hub, crept toward Berlin <. Finally the Sons of Boches flew the white flag and ceased firing The Rus sians halted as a Russian major and two of his aides left their tanks and walked toward the German lines. .. They hadn't walked very far when the major was shot dead by sniper His aides carried the body back to their lines, and then the Russian tank division steadily boEnbarded the Germans for the next 24 hours.
 The point is that no German com- mander issued an order to fire on the major. It was the revenge of some Nazi screwball But the Russians, who loved their major, gave that no consideration .. One Russian major, they decided, was worth more than all of Berlin, so they evened matters by shooting at 1t for an entire day and night.
 There probably will be a plague in Berlin this Winter, and our oc- cupation army there (along with the Russians, British, French, etc0 may be ordered to evacuate, too. . Conditions are so filthy there that observers cannot understand how Berlin can escape plague One time, for instance, when its water works were dynamited-the city was flooded and over 10000 women and children. were drowned 5000 of the bodies are still in one of the canals.
 The con-men around the circuses, tent shows and state fair grounds used to prosper with this gag: Soul venir collectors were sold teeth (for their watch fobs) that supposedly came from the mouth of George Washington The same dodge was used in the First World War the teeth allegedly coming from General Pershing's mouth Tn this war nearly every person brings | back some souvenir" with the lat est racket being pulled on Dan Golenpaul, founder of the radio show, "Information Please" | Mr. Golenpaul returned from over seas proudly displaying bit of a | rug which he said Hitler actually |
