came a dangerous fighting outfit,
killing Japs, blowing up trains, raid
ing Jap outposts. 1t activities finally
extended all the way from Indo-
China to the Cobb Desert.
SACO intelligence allowed the
18th Air Force to mine costal waters,
forcing Jap shipping out to sea,
where they were attacked by Amer
lean submarines, on information
from SACO.
Weather information helped the
Navy decide when to stage ~invasions
on Jap islands and raids on the Jap
homeland.
Usually it was possible to enter or
depart from Jap territory by air, but
SACO Americans became adept at
Chinese DISCUSSES and, guided by
SACO Chinese, slipped through
enemy lines when they chose.
Through months and years not one
SACO member was detected.

pigs knuckles. and liberty cabbage, St. Louis is the place.
 Leave Fancy Pants at Home
 Chicago is great city. too, gents. but I don't know whether its for you. It takes a brave man to wear spats in Chicago. Striped trousers don't go so well there either. It's a dusty town, even though it's fresh out of gangsters, but leave your fancy pants at home to enjoy it.
 Baltimore, friends, is the place where oysters come in assorted flav- orS and ladies spend Saturday morning scrubbing their front steps. In summer you can buy crabcakes for a nickle from the street ped- dlers. There's good eating, cheap, in Baltimore.
 I don't know how well-heeled you diplomats are, but if you run short of pin money, Denver is your place. You can prospect for gold in Cherry Creek or sink a silver mine outside of town.
 Philly Leads In Fish
 Claremore, Okla, should be in- spirational This is where Will Rogers came from; he was no slough, himself, as a statesman. It is breezy in Claremore and the drinking water is excellent.
 If it's cultural background you want, give Philadelphia a look. Here is where the mayor takes a padded hammer and rings the Lib- erty Bell on state occasions; it sounds, pflung. The best fish res taurant in America, bar none, is in Philadelphia.
 Then, fellows, there is a locality called the Bronx, which loves you. Only I don't know whether you'd love the Bronx. One block looks like another block in the Bronx and of all the. places to get lost, like a mouse in a Russian scientists maze, the Bronx is it.
 Black Hills for Air If you 1anc to be surrounded by plenty of nothing except scenery and fresh air, take the Black Hills. Should you be thinking about Bos- ton, I urge that first you see play called ''The Late George Apley." l never have eaten first class Boston baked beans in Boston, but maybe you caviar boys don't like beans. z
 You have seen San Francisco for yourselves and you must admit it's quite place, but why it wants you I don't know. It's got so many peo- pie already, pedestrians have to travel piggy-back on Market street. That may be temporary condition. Where else can you have fun riding cable cars?
 Hollywood has its points. Metro Goldwyn-Mayer could throw you up pink plaster headquarters with gold doorknobs overnight Warner Brothers could furnish it with an- tiques and petit point in 30 minutes fiat. Paramount could place a sweater girl at every typewriter. No obligation, either, except to give the movie boys a credit line in your off, ficial program.
