A prominent plumbing manufac-
turer is asking the women Of Ameri.
ca to make suggestions for the kind
of sink they want when the war Is
over. Some Of the questions asked
are: Should faucets be hand oper.
ated or knee operated or have foot
pedal control? Is an exposed swing
faucet or a pull-out rubber hose with
spray preferable? Should there be q
built-in rubber covered drain rack,
an electric towel dryer. a pull.out

London, meanwhile, quoted Stock

had transferred $4,000 Allied war
prisoners from camps in Poland and
Silesia to Central Germany because
of the threat of the advancing Rus
slams.
The same reports said there was

prisoners in Camp Stalag Luft Z at

Royal Air Force personnel-were

Pending receipt of assurances, 1t
was said at the War Department
that it was assumed the same pro-
cedure will be followed as in the
case of Americans liberated by the
Red Army advances through Ro-
mania and Bulgaria. In those in
stances the men were cared for by
the Russians and released as quickly
as possible to American authorities.
There was no information i'm
mediately available here as to the
number which might be freed by
the present operations on the east
ern front or might already have
passed into Russian hands. At one

ground force officers were held at

northwest of Inowroclaw, the cap

London reported Saturday night
that the Soviet government had
assured the War Office that British

on hard board hunks over which are
thrown brown sackcloths filled with

While he was there, Mr.. Allen says,
the Germans gave American pris-
