WASHINGTON, March PIP
Nine shiploads of foreign
brides Of American soldiers
have been brought to this coun-
try without one left unclaimed
on the Army's hands.
That's the record to date, said
Lieut.. Col. Russell F. Cakes
of the Transportation Corps
whose job it is to work out
plans to bring foreign wives
and babies to this country. The
assignment won for him
among his fellow officers at
the pentagon the title of COM
modore of the Diaper fleet.
Aware that some American
soldiers after they got home
had repented that they had
married those charming for
eigners and were seeking
divorces, the army was appre.
hensive lest it bring an I'M
wanted wife to the United
States and have no place to put
her.
In order to get transportation
to the United States, the for
eign bride has to write a let
ter saying she wants to come
and her husband has to write
that he wants her to do SO, ex-
planned Colonel Cakes.
''There have been a few mis-
understandings but so far ev-
erything has worked out all
right" said Colonel Cakes.
Some wives feeling that their
husbands should be on the dock

to meet them when they arrive
are disappointed and can't
quite realize why the army in
the interest of getting the wives
and children to their new
homes as quickly as possibly
has discouraged this unless the
husbands live nearby.
Some women from foreign
lands don't grasp rea.- lily the
distances in the United States
and can't understand why
husband in the Midwest can't
be at the port when they land.

Spectacular Mexican
Volcano On Rampage

URUAPAN, Mexico, March 2
R)-Mexico' spectacular volcano
Paricutin-again erupted ominous-
ly today, spouting lava and ash in
increasing quantities.
The volcano first rose from a
field in 1913, and laid waste a
number of hamlets in its vicinity.
The present flare-up, first major
eruption in a year, is said to be
so intense that ash already has
covered an Immediately surround
ing area.

ARMY AIR FORCES
 PROBE 100000 FIT.
 AND HIGHER ATTITUDES

.HDQ. ALASKAN DEPT. - Army Air Forces airmen will be sale from biological effects of cosmic rays up to an altitude of at least 100,0O0 feet, the Office of Air Surgeon Headquarters, AAF esti- mated today. Knowledge is very incomplete concerning greater all titudes and it is possible that spe- cial protective precautions may have to be taken at attitudes con- siderably above 100000 feet, since high energy radiations in the cos mic rays may become dangerous to human beings at higher alti- tudes where the rays increase in intensity.
 The scientist exploring the ef- fleets of the cosmic ray for the AAF hope to obtain valuable mat erial from high-altitude tests to be held with V-2 rockets, which will be fired into the upper stra- tosphere carrying special instru- ments in the war-head. These in struments will be elected and low cred by parachute. The test may determine the possible detrimental affects oA cosmic radiations on both personnel and material to be employed in guided missiles of the future. Future tests will include the use of accelerometers to mea- sure the thrust of rockets and de- rermine if the human body can
 withstand the comparably high forces of propulsion.
 The AAF study of the cosmic rays in cooperation with promin- ent civilian scientists, has been going on for years, but has reach ed its greatest activity with the current experiments under the di- reqtiOn of. the Guided Missiles Branch of the AAF Research and Development Division.

Tismsnta. roads. railroads. coast lines, islands, lakes and other com mon map features.
 Preparation of this up-to-date map of Alaska was made possible by reason of an intensive program .of mapping of the territory of AL aska and adjacent regions carried on jointly by the Geological Survey and the Army Air Forces to meet emergency wartime map require ments, using every modern map and during the war period. . ..
 It supplies detailed information on large areas heretofore either unmapped or shown in generalized and incorrect manner.
 The new map shows cultural features such as towns or settle ments, railroads, highways, politi- cal boundar ies, airfields and cer- tain of the higher mountain peaks in black; water features, such as glaciers, ice fields, rivers, lakes and ocean areas, in blue. Land areas of Alaska are distinguished from near by foreign areas of the Soviet Union and Canada by distinctive buff shades. One inch on the map represents a distance of approxi- mately 40 miles.
 The map is designated Alaska Map E, and measure 50 inches east-west by about 33 inches north south. Copies may be now pur- chased at fifty cents each from local agents or from the Geologi- cal Survey in Washington, D. c.
