a APRIL 29, 1944 ROLL CALL FOR INVASION—NO. 6

" Transportation Corps Ready

To Move Our Invasion Forces

By TOM WOLF NEA Staff Writer LONDON, April 29.—Until the transportation corps could answer “Ready” to the invasion roll call, the Germans didn’t have to worry much about being invaded. But lest this give the enemy any consolation, it should be added that for longer fhan a year, every troopship sailing from anywhere to anywhere in the world has been’ sailing on schedules made to tie in with the continental invasion.

The transportation corps’ job is the movement of all troops (exborne) and supplies to the field — and then keeping the necessary r e placements pouring in. N e cessarily, the biggest of all transportation corps problems is the “Iifting” of the initial assault troops and supplies. The first problem is getting the

Tom Wolf right ships into the right ports at the right times.

Pre-Stowed on Paper

Next comes the question of getting the supplies from the depots to the right ports in the right order of loading. In practice it will work like this. Commanders of depots all over the United Kingdom will be ordered by the chiefs of the services of supply to send a certain amount of suppliesto a certain place in a specified order. Depot commanders then supply the transportation corps with details about the size, weight and priority of items to be shipped from each depot. Because of the ever-present danger of air raids, supplies cannot be shipped to British ports in advance, as they can be in the States, Transportation corps has to work out, on ‘the basis of rail capacities and ship schedules, the exact time when each depot will send each item to the ports. This means that every ship involved in the operation must be pre-stowed on paper.

WARTIME LIVING—

The size |

and capacity of every inch of every ship must be known before this pre-stowing can be done. The stowing of supplies for an amphibious assault is done according to the task force commander’s wants. He tells the transportation corps exactly what items he wants to take and in exactly what order he wants to unload them.

Factors Limit Load “Combat loading”—of a ship which will be unloaded directly into action—involves two big problems, Normally, ammunition would be loaded first because of its weight in relationship to the cubic feet of space it occupies. Trucks, on the other hand, normally would be loaded almost last. Their weight is only a third to a fifth as great in relation to space. But in combat loading, an assault commander will probably want ammunition before he wants trucks. This means that combatloaded ships are likely to carry only a fraction of their normal

capacity.

Another faeior which limits a ship’s combat-load capacity is the time there will be to unload. If you figure you will have only an hour to unload before being attacked and forced to move, there isn't any point putting two-hours’ -worth of supply aboard. To complicate the situation still further, ships loaded in British ports are loaded by powerful shore cranes. When they are unloaded in an assault, they must be handled by ship's gear. Even shipping itself is only one phase of the job. There's the entire railroad transportation system of the continent. There must also be truck transport to supplement rail, or to supplant it in case of rail failure.

Check Dimensions Before Buying Overseas Package

By ANN STEVICK NEA Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 29.—Watch your package girth when buying a box in which to pack things for your soldier overseas. Some containers are reported on the market which exceed post office limits of 36 inches for girth-plus-length. That means the distance around “the package the small way plus one length. A general do-over on packaging is coming up as part of the war

production board struggle to make paperboard go around. Shipping _ boxes for soldiers’ packages will certainly con - tinue to be made. Predictions are, however, that special gift packaging of retail purchases will generally disappear. Packaging of cosmetics in sets will be more limited, but not

Ann Stevick very sharply as far as'what meets

the shopper's eye. Paper thrift will be managed by reducing the weight and redesigning packages rather than cutting down numbers. You won't see any of that chrome the allies are to get from Turkey on civilian gadgetry. It's to be used for hardening metals for military uses. When and if the irons, alarm clocks, and nec-

essary appliances are made, they are supposed to be plain and functional. There won't be any need for shiny chromium to, beckon buyers. You should find three new items on the grocery price lists. Cashmere Bouquet soap at 10 cents, or 3 for 27, Cameo cleanser at 9 cents, and Par powdered soap at 26 cents, 53 cents and 69 cents have been added to the things which have nation-wide set prices. . The war production board is acting to shake loose the sheepskin shearlings released by the army after air corps requirements were filled. Most of them have remained in stockpiles so far, but they are to be moved out for civilian jackets and warm sheepskin slippers for next winter. . .

YOUR VICTORY GARDEN— Pumpkins, Squash Grow Easily With Good Care

By HENRY

PREE

Scripps-Howard Staff Writer Squash and pumpkins are of two general kinds, the bush varieties

and. the long running varieties.

Their culture is similar.

As a rule the bush varieties are early and the vines run very little,

if at all.

Bush squash and pumpkin may be planted as close together as 3 by 3 feet in the home garden.

The long running varieties, when

» grown on well fertilized soil, attain a length of 20 feet and should be

grown in the larger gardens, spacing hills 8 feet apart. Pumpkins and squash are easy to grow, if planted in loose, ____ well fertilized £¢ soll and given plenty of mois- (gC. ture. One side §&: dressing of plant food, ap- § plied when the vines have reached a spread of 2 to 3 feet, is advised. Feeding beyond that time is apt to force over-vigorous vine growth at the expense of quality fruit. Bush seeds, four or five, are sown in each hill and the two best plants allowed to remain. Long running seeds, six to eight, are sown in each hill, and before the plants begin to vine, are thinned to two plants. Seed treatment is with red copper oxide. Seeds are planted an inch deep as soon as the soil has warmed up. Cucumber beetles, squash bugs and vine borers are to be watched for immediately after the plants have begun to form. For control, keep the plants. covered with rotenone dust until Aug. 1. For further insurance against vine bore, encourage rooting of the vines at the leaf joints by covering them with an inch*or more of soil. Do not thin too soon, _ to allow for loss from these pests.

there is a marked difference in fruits produced from seeds of crossed varieties. To avoid complications, do not save your seed for next year's plantings. The recommended bush squashes include: Golden Summer Crookneck, maturing in 53 days: Zucchini Bush, 56 days; Yankee Hybrid, 50 days; Cocozelle, 65 days; Acorn or “Des Moines,” 58 days; and Butternut, 100 days. The two last named varieties are ideal for the small home garden since they provide the greatest number of fruits per square foot of area occupied. The Italian ‘Marrows, Zucchini and Cocozelle, are good eating at

any stage of growth; when ma- |

ture, they reach a length of 24 inches and a diameter of 6 inches. Long running squash, Boston Marrow, 100 days; True Hubbard, 115 days, and Buttercup, are excellent varieties, (April 29, 1944)

Corn Freeze to Continue in

Northwest Indiana, Official Says. ‘

gion of the AAA, said yesterday. Mr. Smith, meeting here with farmers who said that the freeze order was working a hardship on them, declared that very effort is being made to protect the livestock and poultry interests. “Farmers are asked to sell only their surplus corn to the Commodity Credit Corp. for disposal to manufacturers,” he sald. “Feed wheat is being rushed to persons unable to obtain corn. “We are hopeful that’ the freeze order will be in effect only a few weeks at most. That will be up to the farmers.” The corn being purchased by the government is being turned over to processors for -the manufacture of war-vital materials such as penicillin, glucose and alcohol.

RAHWAY, N. J, April 29 (U. P.).—S. Sgt. Elmer Truax, on emergency furlough from the South Pacific to see his sick baby, is expected to arrive home by plari¢’ ténight. The child, 19-months-old Therese, suffering from often fatal leukemia, a blood disease, was returned to her home last week “slightly improved” from a New York hospital.
