COLOGNE RAIDED (Continned Fruw rag* 1) Turkish government recently has given several indications of increasingly close ties with the United Nations. Meanwhile southern Europe has nothing on its mind but invasion. The well-known Fascist writer. Vlrglnlo (Sayda, says the Allies have massed one million soldiers The office of price admin istraticn has ruled that rationed meats may be brought across the .Mexican border even though the meat* are not a form which appears on the official OPA table of point values.

One of them, who calls himself “Hill,” has broadcast an admission that the United States may win the war after all. So he is worried a brut the peace. Says Berlin Bill: "Wnen we American* win the war. we must remember that only a just and equitable peace should he written.” — o — — Production of glasts containers in IMO was M percent greater than in 1929.
