Air Evacuation
Saves 900 Wounded
ROME (UP) — Some !K)0
wounded Yugoslav partisans and
a few Allied airmen were whis-
ked right oul from underneath
the Nazis noses in I he war's
greatest air evacuation of wound-
ed.
The unarmed transports —big
C-17 Douglas skytrains — were
escorted by Mustangs and Spit-
fires during their flight over
hundreds of miles of German
held Malkan territory How
many transports actually per-
formed the feat is not known,
but it's estimated that at least
10 would have been needed to
handle the !)()() wounded.
The mercy planes flew
low through twisting val-
leys of the Yugoslav moun-
tains to a runway huilt es-
pecially for them among
wheat fields within sound of
the guns* of a nearby bat-
tle.
There they found the parti-
sans. who had been drifting in-j
on foot or in litters carried by j
women stretcher bearers.
Win?; Commander James Pol- j
son of Glasgow, Scotland, who j
went along the trip, says "a great, j
sea of wounded were lying
among the dazzling white rocks
and shrubs which surrounded
the strip."
And he adds, "some of them
had marched for months before
reaching the strip. They consid-
ered as walking cases anyone
who could stand upright and
breathe."
you see we wrrc pretty busy oui
there this last time."
And another paragraphs of t.h ■
letters says that "if the enemy
battle fleet will just accept tli •
engagement that it has been of-
fered so many times in recent
months, the end may bo niucn
rh.ser than most folks at home
dare to hope for."
Other than the disclosure tha'.
the expedition was a dramatic
and daring one. the navy main
tained strict silence.

rDR Asked To Relax
!Little Stce! Formula
CHICAGO (CP) —'The exe-
cutive council nf the American!
I Federation of Labor has adopted
! ■> resolution asking President
Roosevelt to use the same execu-
tiv< powers which froze wages
to effect a relaxation of provi-
sions of the Little Steel formula.
The president of the AF of L
I —William Green — asserts that
unions entered a no-strike agree-
! nient with the understanding
| that wage matters placed be-
! f0re the war labor board would

i i hat the wage formula would
: no: lie an unvielding regulation.
Green points out that living
costs have advanced 13 and 5-10
per cent since adoption of the re-
-triction And because of that he
.stresses that some adjustments
are necessary.
The executive council also has
granted charters to two new
unions — the International Che-
mif;11 Workers Union and the
international Office Workers
I'nion. Both groups have about
no.000 members.

Patterson, Somervell
Confer With General
Eisenhower At Front
SUPREME HEADQUART-
ERS, AEF, Advanced Command
Post, Normandy tUP) — Under-
secretary of War Robert Pat-
terson and Lt. Gen. Brehon
Somervell, chief of the army ser-
vices of supply, have conferred
with General Eisenhower.
And though the topic of their
discussion is secret, the meeting
provided a thrill for at least two
young servicemen. One was Lt.
Robert Patterson Jr. who flew
over from England for the first
visit with his father since last
Christmas. And the other was
Sergeant Robert Hopkins, son
of Harry Hopkins, president
Roosevelt's advisor.
Hopkins, an army signal corps
photographer, was taking the
Eisenhower picture along with
a crowd of news cameramen.
Suddenly the Allied supreme
commander spied Hopkins and
called out "Hello there," and
held out his hand. So the
astounded sergeant shook hands
with Eisenhower, while the oth-
er photographers grinned and
took their colleague's picture.

Court of Appeals
Withdraws Opinion
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) —
The U. S. circuit court of ap-
peals has withdrawn an opin-
ion handed down in June, 1942.
The opinion invalidated pat-
ents of the Wisconsin Almni Re-
search Foundation for a process
by which rickets are treated
with vitamins. The court held
at that time that vitamins, being
derived from the sun, could not
be patented. A year ago, the
foundation asked for a rehearing
of the case, which charged a Los
Angeles company with infringe-
ment of the foundation's pat-
ents.
No explanation has been giv-
en for the withdrawal, which
is said to be almost unprece-
dented in court procedure.

Casualties Says Mead

enough new firms started busi-
ness to leave the 500,000 net de-
crease.
The hardest hit companies

stores and gasoline service sta-
tions.

Farmers Now May
Get Plenty Of
Lumber For Needs
Farmers who buy lumber in
| Nolan county now are entitled to
small, amounts for essential
j maintenance and repair of im-
plements and farm service build-
ings by simply signing an appli-
cation at he lumber yard, accord-
: ing to .J. R. Cooper, chairman of
I the Nolan County Agricultural
| Conservation committee.
Three hundred board feet I:;
I the largest amount that can be
jxibtained from the dealer without
lirst getting a farmers' lumber
| certificate. Cooper said.
j Any farmer who needs more
j than .'ion board feet of lumber
I should apply to the County AAA
I Office at Sweetwater courthouse
j for a certificate. The committee
j has author!tv to issue farmers'
lumber certificates for essential
| maintenance and repair use and
| for new construction (other than
residences) where the cost is not
j more than $1,000, per farm per
calendar year. The committee al-
so will issue certificates for lum-
| her needed for emergencies. For
j construction which must be an-
: proved by the War Production
i Hoard, the ACA Committee re-
; ceive farmers' applications and
! makes recommendations, but
dc°s not. issue serritieates.
Farmers' lumber certificates
rank as e:! i! icd and rated" or-
- . Ith -ratings as high as
an;.- assigned to non-military us-
: ers. Cooper stated. Dealers can
use the ratings when they place
| orders. "In fact". Cooper said,
j "these ratings offer the only op-1
portunity to keep enough lum-
j her in the county to meet our
j essential farm needs."

Over Industries
FORT WORTH —(UP) —State

; needs."
I Belk also says that WMC or-
| del s are now mandatory in all
parts of the state. Such orders
: have heretofore been mandatory
only in areas of acute labor short-
i age.
We are at a vitally import- j
j ant stage of the war. Today, as
!never before, American women!
lean speed the Allied victory by!
enlisting in the Women's Army

Reason For Silence
On Liberation Of
Paris Is Revealed
LONDON (UP) - The re t. on
for the sflenee of Allied head-
quarters on the liberation of
Paris now has been r< ealed.
Allied quarters in London admit
that arrangement . fur announc-
ing the Allied occupation of the
French capital developed into a . J
first class muddle.
Early this week, when it ' •
came certain that occupation of
Paris was at hand an iron clad '
arrangement was made '-where-
by Allied headquartt r in Lon-
don would issue the official
statement with a pn >\•• -r fan-
fare of accompanying material.
However, the commander <-f
the French forces <>:' inter-
ior— Major General Foenkr ■ —
apparently did not undei ,- tand
the arrangement. He n. a i
own announcement without;
