GA Brides
 Due oddv

Boston, May 23.-(UP)-About 120 foreign brides who had married GI's overseas were due here today on the last lap of their journeys to meet their American in-laWs,
 1ncluded in the group were per haps 20 babies whose soldier or sail or fathers still were on duty in the European tneater of war
 Like modern pilgrims they had come from England, Ireland, Scot land, France, Holland and Belgium to await the arrival of their hus- bands before setting up homes in a new world.
 Some of the girls had been wed since 1942, taking as their husbands some of the first American soldiers who landed in northern Ireland and Scotland during that year to begin building bases from which to assault the Nazi-controlled continent.
 The trip was fostered by the American Red Cross and represen- tatives of this organization were in constant attendance on the party during their voyage.
 They were to assemble in South Station where a special waiting room and a nursery had been set up to care for the party until they were met by relatives-by-marrlage

 WOOLENS SAVED
 Tons of discarded Woolen clothes and cotton underwear dumped into inspection rooms for segregation are sorted and filed. Some return to stocks, some are routed to sewing rooms where delft needle-women put garments back into shape, and those beyond repair become rags, to be re- processed and given rebirth in a brand new life.
 If cotton garments can't be sal vaged as such, off they go to make paper. To French textile fac tory goes all irreclaimable woolen clothing, to be broken down into shoddy and converted into thou sands of new blankets.
 Seventy-five per cent of the battered canteen cups, flasks and plates dumped in for re-molding re-shaping, cleaning and paint ing goes back into mess gear as good as new. Ditto helmets, tens of thousands of which tell no tales of hammers that iron out dents or metal refinishers that re- store surface. From the metal lurgists' bath come once-battered field ranges which Army cooks on the Pacific fronts can wheel back into battle for more punishment from enemy fire and weather Stretched out in lofts covering an entire block of Q-256 are tents made of critical cotton. for repair of every tear or rip, removal of every mud and blood stain
 Here to make a. documentary film of this salvage campaign, Capt. Clay Shaw, secretary to the General Staff for the Disc Sec- ton, says: Heres proof that Un- cle Sam practices the ccnserva- tion he breaches. and sets an eH- ample for every home-front Amer ican."

Japs' Balloon-Bomb
 Termed Fantastic

With the coming of warm Wea- ther and the end of the school sea son, it is desirable that people and especially children living west of the Mississippi river be warned of this possible hazard and cautioned under no circumstances to touch or approach any unfamiliar object.
 The War and Navy Departments make this statement so that the public may be aware of the possible danger and to reaSSure the nation that these attacks are so scattered and aimless that they constitute no military threat. They should not be viewed with alarm.
 Due to the large areas of the United States and the variable na- ture of the winds, the possibility of a hit in any specific area is re- mote. The chances that any given place would be hit by these attacks is only one in many millions.
 Newspaper and magazine readers and radio listeners should under stand that reports of the Japanese balloons are being omitted from the news columns and radio summaries by editors and broadcasters to keep from the enemy further information of balloon attacks on the western hemisphere.
 The War and Navy Departments take the liberty of recommending that civilians themselves take the same patriotic course and refrain from spreading news of any specific balloon incident of which they may | hear"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-05-23

Washington May 23 - (U.P0 - Japan has been sporadically attack ing the western U. s. mainland for months with balloon-borne bombs, the War Department revealed to- day. It said mo property damage has resulted"
 The War Departments word for the Japanese attempt to visit long range destruction upon the United States was fantastic"
 During the past several months, Japanese free balloons are known to have landed or dropped explo- sives in isolated localities" the an- nouncement said.
 These balloons cannot be control led by their launchers, the War De- partment said, and the chances that any given place would be hit by these attacks is only one in many millions"
 This Japanese attempt to under take against the United States at- tacks which the Germans launched with infinitely greater success against Great Britain was handi- capped so greatly by distance that it has been able to cause no dam age to property, the War Depart ment said.
 Apparently they were loosed to drift with wind currents toward this continent.
 ''These balloons are grey, white or greenish- paper about 33 feet in diameter" the War Department said. They carry few small bombs suspended beneath the balloon. It is believed that the main purpose of the bombs is to set brush and forest fires. They are dangerous and should not be touched by anyone not familiar with bombs"
 The War Department said that thus far the bombs had not succeed ed in their apparent purpose of starting forest fires.
 The balloons, it was said, have landed or dropped their explosives from time to time in isolated areas mostly in the mountains, forests or deserts.
 There is no indication that any of them ever carried enemy personnel.
 The armed services decided to re- veal the nature of the attacks to foreWarn civilians against possible damage and personal injury. It was held that the possible saving of even one American life by publishing the warning would mere than offset any military gain to the enemy from the mere knowledge that some balloons actually had landed explosives in this country.
 The services warned, however, that it would aid the Japanese if they should learn exact informa- tion as to the time, locality and ef- feet of any specific incident, or the number of balloons which have landed or been sighted.
 This would permit the enemy to evaluate results and possibly to cor rect methods.
 The Army and Navy paid tribute to newspapers and radio stations for withholding facts about the bombs which have become known from time to time.
 The announcement pointed out there may still be unexpioded bombs in isolated areas, possibly buried ir snow.
