Morton, but not much." thefn only 50,000. So now the Army Is coming to our rescue." Last September, GIs happily raided Paris perfume shops and by Christmas had sent home thou-' sands of gallons.

They don't stop with just "stop" and "go" signals. Here's a digest of what they aerial traffic cops do; Issue detailed Instructions to aircraft pilots for take-off, flight pattern, landing, taxiing, provide accurate up-to-the-minute wind and weather reports, know and be able to use code and voice radio transmission and blinker signal PARIS (U.R) The American Army will come to the rescue of the French perfume Industry, badly depleted by GIs. The Army will arrange for shipments of essential oils used in making perfumes here and will lend trucks and a small quantity of coal so that bottle factories can Increase output.

"GIs have purchased more perfumes In six months of liberation than we exported to America during a whole year In 1938." Jean Jacques Guerlain, leading Paris perfumer, said. "But we are faced with a grave shortage of essential oils, most of which come from abroad. We are down to our last bottles because there is no transport to take coal to our factories.

NOVELIST'S WIFE DIES PLAINFIELD. N. H. (U.R) Mrs. Winston Churchill.

71, wife of the American novelist, died at her home Saturday after a long illness. She leaves her husband and three IJOrtistY performer who ever had a king for a booking agent. Leopold of Bel-glum liked him so well at a night club In London that he had him engaged by the Royal Palace hotel in Ostend. His every-day friends are regular patrons of the Stork club and "21," yet the men and women who listen to him on the air discount such sophistication and are mindful only of the grand songs he sir.gs: Old Rugged Cross," Molly Malone," "McN'amaras Band" and the fact that he is the father of five children. His mail is full of crocheted knickknacks and "God bliss you" felicitations.

Downey's nail follows this pattern: "May I sav your voice Is sweet and lovely as ever and may God keep it so." Early in the winter, the tenor went overseas. Immediately his mail was bulky with bon voyage messages like: "My husband and 1 have listened to you for years go with God by your side. Morton." There is a steady flow of 500 letters a week. The number of people he reaches is extraordinary even for radio. He is heard over 348 stations and in some cities he can be liea id two or three times by tran-srription on the same day.

He made $1,700 a week more at the Plaza hotel this last However, when he has a night club opening, he can assure the management that the carriage trade will turn out and there won't be a bobby socker In sight. He frankly says: "From the time I went to ork for Paul Whiteman 1924.

From 60 to 100 men still are dying daily. Another 3.000 are almost hopeless cases. The corpses by the Nazis have been cleaned away, but their places have been taken by ne rows of bodies.

He said many of the men doomed to die miyht be saved if three things cojild be provided: First, three times as many medical personnel.

Second, twice as many niedic.il supplies. And third, a means of taking the worst cases to real hospitals where special treatment would be available. Dr. Flaha said that American medical authorities stationed nearby are "cooperating to the utmost," but there Just are not enough men, equipment, or places to take the patients. In any event, most of the cases left by the Nazis were too far gone to be sivrd no matter what was done for them.
