Largest additional grant was 4973 ton3 for the Philadelphia (Pa.) Bulletin. The Chicago Sun was er. roneously listed by the W.P.B for "additional" allotments of 9017 tons during the first quarter and 8418 tons in the second, but W.P.B. officials later explained these figures should have been an additional grant. They explained that the allotments are based on paper consumption in 1940 and that there is no basic allotment for the Sun, since it was founded in 1941.

(U.R) The War Production Board reported today that during the first half of 1943 newspapers were granted 106,879 tons of newsprint above regular quotas, magazines were allotted 7721 additional tons and extra amounts were authorized for book publishers.

(JP) Peter Krug, German prisoner of war who was befriended by the Detroit restaurant owner Max Stephan and who testified against him later at Stephan's treason trial, was reported tonight to have made another escape from prison camp. Krug, a lieutenant and bomber pilot who has escaped several times before, was swimming with fellow prisoners at an officers' camp in the Gravenhurst district today and did not report at roll call afterward. If he fled the it probably was in swimming shorts unless he had cached clothes somewhere in anticipation of the break. After fleeing April 17, 1912, and after being aided by Stephan, Krug roamed the United States for weeks, covering 3000 miles and visiting Chicago and New York before his capture at San Antonio, Tex.

His testimony against Stephan clinched the government's case and Stephan first was sentenced to be hanged July 2.

(JP) The War Manpower Commission told restaurants in labor shortage areas today it would help them hire or retain workers only if they "reduce their services to those of strictest utility." Among other things, the W.M.C.

said, restaurants seeking its aid must "eliminate finger bowls, cloth tablecloths and napkins, service plates, separate vegetable dishes and other refinements." They also must "simplify menus, with a la carte and table d'hote choices reduced to a minimum." Night clubs, "luxury restaurants'' and eating places maintained in connection with places of amusement will have to get along on their own, as will any restaurant employing cigarette girls, doormen and other attendants who give personal service. W.M.C. Chairman Paul V. McNutt said "guests, too, will be expected to assume much of the labor wherever possible," such as pouring their own drinking water and serving themselves cold dishes from buffets.

These odd personal items I have seen tucked away as Fortresses were having their bomb bays loaded at midnight for a dawn take-off. I have had a pilot or bombardier or tail-gunner call to -me as he clambered in his ship, "I'll hring your stuff back to you. Brother.

Don't fret about it while I'm gone." I hadn't been around our air bases in England very long before I ran out of things that could be divided. So I started giving away the darndest things for good luck pieces to boys I lived with on the bases. Billy Medole is flying an old Baseball Writers card that I dug out of my wallet. Willie liegeman has proof that he is a member of the International Club of Chicago's Drake Hotel. FLEW CLARK GABLE Billy Southworth can cash a check at any Knott Hotel he comes across in Europe.

Billy Calhoun, the boy who flew Clark Gable on his first flight, can get in any P.G.A. golf tournament free if he happens to run across one up there at 27.000 feet. He has my P.G.A. badge. My membership card to the National Press Club in Washington is tacked in -the cockpit of the Thunderbolt piloted by Tommy Pittman.

I hope that the rest of these boys won't give me the jolt that Elmer did. I'm looking forward to the day when all the lucky charms come home to roost and the boys who carried them just come home. to sins for the faithful who vis ited the chapel of Our Lady FLEEING Peter Krug, Nazi flyer befriended by Detroit man, flees prison again.

Annulment Suit Charges Fraud Wed to a man who represented himself as a prosperous psychiatrist but who turned out to be penniless, according to her complaint, Mrs. Sadie Louise Russell, 32. model, yesterday petitioned the Superior Court for annulment of the union. Mrs. Russell brought the action against Francis Bruce Wellington Russell III, 41, whom she charged with making the represantations on which she says she relied when she was married to him last July 24.

On discovering the asserted fraud five days later, Mrs. Russell adds, she left him.

Shuts Down Argentine Trade WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. (JP) United States export trade with Argentina was virtually suspended today with a blanket revocation of individual export licenses by the Office of Economic Warfare, which indicated the whole picture of such exports will be reviewed to make certain that shipments to the Argentine go only to "satisfactory consignees." The order, announced last night and made effective this morning, was described as having the approval of interested Argentine authorities. journeying in search of Monte rey Bay. Pro-Axis Argentine Paper Suspended BUENOS AIRES, Aug.

2. (JP) The pro-Axis newspaper Bandera Argentina has been ordered suspended for 10 days because of "insulting comment against the chief of state of a friendly nation," the government announced tonight. Under the headline "Insolent Ultimatum," the paper yesterday published comment on President Roosevelt's Friday statement asking neutrals not to give refuge to Axis leaders. NEW YORK. Since I have been back any number of people have said to me what a shame it was about Elmer.

They referred to Capt. Elmer McTaggart, the lanky P-47 pilot about whom I had written several stories. The first story I wrote about Elmer was how he cooked me some hot chocolate in his bleak little room at a fighter base somewhere in England, and showed me a beautiful letter from his mother, which I reprinted. The second story was about how we swapped lucky charms I giving Elmer a little green porcelain elephant with big ears, and he giving me an old silver dollar. The third story and I'll never forget writing it was when I heard that my green elephant, which was pinned to the firewall of his Thunderbolt, had failed him and he had gone down under a Focke-Wulfs fire.

ELMER TURNS UP This is the fourth story about and it's the happiest one. Just about a week before I left London there was a knock on my door and there stood Elmer. All six-feet-something of him, grinning from ear to ear. 1 don't know where he had been, what had happened to him. or how he arrived at my door, because he wasn't at liberty to tell any of those things.

All I know is that it was swell to hear him say, That elephant of yours was half-gcod anyhow. Now you cook me some hot chocolate, only don't make it hot chocolate." I only hope that all of the other so-called lucky pieces that I handed out to our flyers work as well. Funny thing about the kids who are flying the bombers and the fighter planes over there they prefer a lucky charm that can be divided in two parts so that they can take half of it. LIKE CUFF LINKS I only took one new pair of cufflinks to England and I often wished that I had taken dozens of pairs. The boys like to carry one cuff link with them on their missions and tell you as they leave, "I'll bring it back to you.

I won't ruin that set for you. The one link you have wouldn't be a bit of good without this one." It seems to give them a tie to the earth and to living to have something that they feel they must return. I.have one garter that has been on 15 missions by now and I hope it will be returned at the end of the war, ragged though it may be. I have a pocket knife without a chain. The chain may be sweeping over the coast of France right now.

Perkins, whose job as executive director of the Board of Economic Warfare was yanked from under him when the board was abolished as an aftermath of the Vice-President Wallace-Jesse Jones feud, is leaving with his wife Aug. 15 for a vacation in Mexico.
