LOS ANGELES, April 1 (U. P.) —Mme. Chiang Kai-shek, who has not had time to see a movie since she arrived in United States, prepared today to meet the movie ‘stars in person—four hundred of them. They will be her guests at an informal reception. ‘ Mme. Chiang, admittedly a mo.tion picture fan, was understood to have requested that the party be included in her stay here. Kept ' hush-hush in Hollywood, so that no pressure would be ‘brought to bear on the guest list, the reception has thrown the handpicked 400 into a dither, and many stars reportedly have purchased completely new ensembles for the occasion.

What to Give

By HAMLIN WELLING Here are some inside tips— straight from the WAACs, WAVES and SPARS—on what to give and what not to give that girl in service. Don’t give a WAVE or a SPAR a brass polishing kit. It’s a good gift for a WAAC but a most undesirable gift for a navy woman. The WAACSs voted a feminine housecoat the most unpopular gift. The service women joined in voting rings the next most unpopular gift they don’t want to get. That doesn’t mean rings on the telephone, thotigh, ; All of this comes to you through a survey made by the magazine Department Store Economist. More than 1000 service women were queried on what they wanted from the folks at home: Army and navy women—with ‘the navy branch' including WAVES, SPARS and marines—did not jibe in gifts preferred. Some of that is because WAACs are/ issued their clothing while navy women are given an allowance for their necessities.” For instance, i per cent of the navy women put'their full approval ‘on pajamas, while only 26 per cent of the WAACs okayed them. About 82 per cent of the WAACSs said yes to an extra regulation shirt but only about 65 per cent of “the. ‘navy

women agreed.

“WASHINGTON, April 1 (U. PB). Be, Treasury figures showed today that| the government is lagging behind budget spending schedule averages despite a record of more than $50,- | 000,000,000" of war expenditures in the past nine months. Today is the beginning of the fourth quarter of the 1943 fiscal year.

On that basis he estimated for a net deficit this fiscal year of $57,461,000,000. On the basis of the record duririg the first three quarters of this fiscal year, spending, revenue and deficit will fall substantially below those levels although a final quarter spurt could achieve them. :

The two services got together on some gifts. Among the most popular are folding irons, regulation gloves, insignia stationery, portable radios (but small), dress hose, regulation scarfs, cameras and films, "wrist watches, overnight bags and pen and pencil sets.

Other things ‘the service women | clamored for are bonds and stamps, [letters (and still more letters), cleansing tissue (by the ton), bobbi pins, ‘toilet articles, cigaret cases (with plenty of refills)—and rolls of nickels for coke machines. On the blacklist are bulky, large, nonessential articles and, generally, civilian clothes. WAACs are allowed to wear mufti on off-duty hours and WAVES may do so for partici pation in sports. They also out: lawed bracelets, earrings and “doo: dads.” * The WAACs apparently are more studious than their sisters, for 32 per cent of them said “swell” to technical books, but only 11 per cen’ of the navy women approved them as gifts. It doesn’t appear that the bugler is bothering the WAACs—for 79 per cent of them put their approval ori alarm clocks. Only 45 per cent ir navy ranks agreed alarm . clocks were wanted. And, of course, don’t make the mistdke of sending a WAAC any-

thing navy blue.

MOSCOW, April 1.-— Hitler was unable in six months .of occupation to obtain a single barrel of oil from the rich Maikop and Malgobek flelds, from which the Nazis were recently driven in

Karyagin, assistant people's commissar for the oil industry. “ Karyagin said that the Nazis had imported machinery and technical experts in an effort to restore the fields which the retreating Red army earlier had wrecked. Two thousand Soviet workers had taken to the hills, however, and their constant raids were one of the large factors making operation of the wells impossible. Karyagin said that in many cases it would be ‘unfeasible to restore the former wells. New ones must be drilled instead, he declared. From six to eight weeks are required to sink wells tp relatively
