after such a hard winter." And how seldom, on our shopping

trips, do we think of the "lift" so desperately, needed across Hie ocean -where nftev six winters of war and oppression, people are emerging" from eaves and . underground shelters, from plundered homes free once again, but with little more than rags for clothing. '. ; President Roosevelt has said that as many people in occupied Europe have succumbed to exposure from, lack, of clothing as have died from starvation, and it is reported there are about 150.000,000 in liberated countries who are in desperate need of garments, shoes, and bedding. The-efforts of relief agencies and private organizations alone is insufficient to meet' this great need. ' Consequently a United Nations Clothing Collection Drive bus been organized for the month of April under the chairmanship of Henry J. Kaiser. The goal is 150,000,000 pounds. This seems a sizable collection, but the WPB estimates there are at least 200,000,000' pounds of unused wearable clothing in the country. Americans seldom fail to meet a goal when opportunity is offered to give their generosity full piny. And they will wear their own new or last season's outfits with additional grace because of having shared their abundance. '."Sullivan's house-b-house collection will be April 21. Clean out that clothes closet now.

THE PARTY LINE

SECRET CODE . A girl showed up at the public library the other day to ask if they had any books on the Hawaiian language. She explained that her soldier boy friend, stationed on these islands, had written some words at the bottom of a letter that she couldn't make out, and guessed that he was pulling some native lingo on her. The words were "evol dna sessik." They could not be found in any of the books. Then one interested helper tried reading them backwards.

plates marrying a man of forty,

says a clergyman, should remember that when she is forty he will ba sixty. It is, of course, better for a girl of forty to marry a man of twenty then they'll reach sixty "round about the same time.

FUN IN THE NEWS A. classified ad in a New York paper appealed for "Chambermaids . . . full or part time.'.' A Gary paper, on the woman's jfige, advised readers: "Brides are ui'ged not to rush into marriage." And it's a safe bet the printer who listed Sergeant Bill Souse as a. guest at a fashionable party in Washington will get the "H" kicked out of him if Sergeant Bill Shouse ever catches up with him.

This Morning's Headlines LABOR CURB BILL TALKED. B, E. Hutchinson, vice-president of Chrysler Corporation and a director of the National Association of Manufacturers, revealed that the N. A. M. and the Chamber of Commerce of the United Stales have a joint committee working

on legislative proposals for outlawing strikes. He explained that existence of the committee was the principal reason why the N. A. M. did not join i.-i the labor-management charter for post-war industrial peace and that he is "very curious" why Eric Johnston, Chamber president; made the charter public when he did.A Chamber spokesman said that Hutchinson apparently "has his

facts wrong," that no joint committee of the two organizations exists.

SOLDIERS, PRISONERS FIGHT MISSISSIPPI FLOOD. Soldiers, German prisoners of war and thousands of civilians joined the battle against high water on the lower Mississippi River which has already covered a million acres of rich farm land and forced at least 40,000 persons from their homes. Levees were planked and sacked and weak spots repaired as floods from the rain-fed main river and

its tributaries, especially the Red River in northwest Lousiana,

spread over vast areas. New ited Cross estimates were that 8,737 families had left their homes. -

U-BOAT TOLL DECREASES. German U-boats sank fewer Allied ships in March than in February, the monthly Anglo-American

statement said Monday. The underseas raiders continued to increase

their effort, the statement added, but casualties inflicted on them were again severe. .

some 1,500 soldiers arrived at Boston aboard an Army troop trans

port, cheering wildly as they caught their first glimpse of American soil in the twilight of a mjid Spring evening. The same ship brought

home 3,000 soldiers on rotation furloughs.

BLAME MASS MURDERS ON WEHRMACHT CHIEFS. Two Wehrmacht field marshals and 86 other Germans were named responsible for the death of 577,000 persons in concentration camps in Latvia and the deportation of 175,000 others as slave labor,. - in a 6,000-word report by a Soviet investigating committee. Field Marshals Von Model and Schoerner, Army group com

manders, were blamed for the crimes in the report which a Moscow broadcast said was made by a group of prominent Soviet Latvians

and Russians.

The committee reported that the Germans had methodically de

stroyed lactones, public utilities, libraries, museums, hospitals and homes, had ransacked libraries and art galleries and had slain many Latvian intellectuals. At least 170,000 civilians, including women and children, were slaughtered in mass extermination camps near Riga, it was charged. ,
