@. What Is the maximum range Of q B-2S
with a full bomb load?-P. L. B.
A. According to the Department of the Air
Force, the Boeing B-29 Super Fortress has .
"cQhbat radius" of more than 1000 miles It
can carry tons of bombs a distance of $500
miles. Some B-2es have gone greater distances
than this by using cruise control" methods,
in which a careful control Of power settings
is observed to attain the most economical
operation of the airplane. The longest B-2S
f1ight-the Pacusan Dreamboat's distance fight
from Hawaii to Cairo-was 9,444 miles. 1t car
ried no bomb load.
@. How did the cardigan jacket happen to
get this name?-M. G.

airy If the famous charge Of the Light Brigade
at Balaclava in the Crimean War, 1854, and
the first 2nglishman to reach the Russian lines.
Q. Was Shakespeare college graduates-
W. D. D.
A. william Shakespeare was not q college
man. He probably entered the free grammar
school in Stratford In 1871, when Walter Roche
was master. The instruction that Shakespeare
received was mainly confined to the Latin
language and to literature. His fathers fnan-
cial difficulties doubtless caused Shakespeare's
removal from school at an unusually early age.
Q. Please define the current terms gray
market."-W. D. S. .
A. This successor to the black market origi-
mated in the shortages OF many materials and
end products which. in spite of record peace
time production, continued throughout ls47
and into 1948. Technically It consisted Of q
form of profteering in which spectators
bought up all available supplies Of scarce ma
terials with the intention of selling at exces.
sive prices.
g. What abbreviations of State names are
approved by the Post ONCE Department.
c. McC.
A. They are as follows: Ala, Ariz, Ark. Calf,
Colo Conn, Del, Fla, Ca, Ill, Ind. Kans., KY,
La. Mass, Md, Mich. Mimi, Miss, Mo, Mont,
N. c., N. OAK, Nebr., New. N. H., N. j., N Mex,
N. Y, Okla, Greg, Pa, r. l., 8. c., 9. Oak.
Tenn, Tex, Va, VT, Wash, WIS.,, w. Va. Wyo.
Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Ohio and Utah are not
abbreviated.
g. Have the English always used the broad
"a" pronunciation?-R. B.
A. The broad "a" apparently did not become
general in England until late in the 18th
century and was probably due to the influence
Of David Garrick, who was regarded as one OF
the greatest actors on the English stage.

The truest statement in "A Teachers" COM

To the Editor OF The Star:
J. j. Sperry's letter printed in The Star
regarding the natural dead" of Buchenwald
shocked me deeply. The $4,000 human beings
who died at the camp within q few years
were murdered by the SIS, and Camp Com
mander Kochs Frau Ilse was free to run
amuck to satisfy her bloody hobby.
Now, perhaps the rate of death of one in
mate an hour, day and night, for six long
years does not seem too high in the view Of
Mr.. Sperry. But it should be remembered
that Buchenwald was only q concentration
camp and not an determination camp. The
methodical Nazs made fine distinction there.
In the determination camp at Auschwitz,
for example the Nazis killed and burned to
death more human beings-unarmed and help
less people-than the German army, navy,
air force and civilian population lost during
the entire war from 1899 to 1945, viz. total
German losses: 3,500,000; murdered at Ausch-
witz: 100000. Records of the International
Military Tribunal and the Department Of the
Army should be made available to the doubtful.
Has Mr.. Sperry ever been at Buchenwald?

IFS Cherry Ff0ezlng Time
While sweet cherries are on
the market in plentiful supplies,
now's the time to make sure that
this tempting fruit will be avail
able for winter-time desserts.
Here are a few directions re-
Gently received from Inez Eek
blad, extension nutritionist al
WSC. Frozen sweet cherries will
have most Of their bright color
and flavor when dished up for the
family in January or February
if these directions are followed
carefully.
Fist, select variety that will
freeze well, either Bing, Deacon,
Lambert, Republican, or Royal
Anne. Use tree-ripened fruits in
the soft ripe stage. These are
best for freezing as far as flavor
is concerned. Green umderripe
fruit may be bitter when frozen.
And overripe fruit is usually
mushy when thawed for use.
Stem, wash and pit. Prepare
and chill a sugar syrup. Allow
about one pound Of sugar to fou,
pounds Of fruit. Dissolve the SUI
gar in water, using one cup Of
sugar to 1 1-2 to two cups Of
water.
Pack the cherries in a suitable
liquid-tight or moisture-vapor-
proof container, leaving about an
inch Of headspace for expansion
Barely cover the cherries with
the chilled syrup. If cherries are
to be used for sauce, pitting them
will allow the syrup to sweeten
more than If frozen whole.
Seal and. label with the name
Of the product and the date. Place
containers in the refrigerator as
soon as they are filled. Then
rush them to the locker plant
or place them Immediately in the
home unit.
Another freezing aid to busy
housewives is to make three or
four patches of cookies or cakes
while In a baking mood. Save
out what the family wants now,
and put the rest in the family's
frozen food locker.

Dear Folks:
Peace be unto you!

Shirt and pajama makers
are wearing an air of worried
prosperity.
Mems sport and dress shirts
now pour from factories at the
dizzy tempo of over 200 mil
lion a year. That's comfort
ing spectacle to shirt men. But
they can't help rejecting that,
in pre-war days, every time
they turned out anything near
such record volume they soon
became mired in over-produc-
ton.
Last year an estimated "a
million pairs of pajamas were
made. That's three pairs of pa
jamas for every two made in
pre-war years. AS with shirts,
it conjures up the over-produc-
ton spectre.
