That the lady of Nippon failed to reach the prisoner camp in one piece is certainly not Moffitt's fault. The patrol to which Moffitt was attached was making what has come to be a commonplace mission. Seven miles in the hills a new concentration of Japs had been reported. The patrol went

Gillie went on record last night as favoring price controls for at least another six months—so that food Items, particularly, may be kept in line. The congressman told representatives of seven locals and district nine of the United Electrical Radio and Machine Workers of America (C. 1. 0), in Ft.

Union representatives told Gillie they favored a change in the Little Steel Formula with a 20 per cent increase over the present ceiling.

Moffitt patched up the wounds and opened the only bottle of®plasma in his kit.
