A bottle of whiskey, no matter what brand, will get you a Jap officer's sword in a jiffy. A box of five cent candy bars will fetch a Jap battle -flag or a general s pants if there are any available.

A pilot from - another island landed on Guadalcanal prepared to buy some souvenirs. . The first thing he wanted was a Jap offi cer's sword. - "How much? he asked the , ma rine who owned it "A quart of whiskey and a box of 24 candy bars," said the ma rine. The pilot was stumped. He had only "money to offer. "Ill give you a bunded dollars for it," he said. "Nothing Doing, Bug," said the marine, "I'd rather have whiskey or candy." The pilot finally swung the deal by agreeing to buy the -sword for $100 cash and bring some candy tip on bis next trip.

Kaiser's shipyards in the Portland-Vancouver, Wash., area. The office of war information here, which released the an nouncement, said neither amplifi cation of this statement nor any further statements, would come out of a conference here to con sider charges of discrimination against negro shipyard workers. The conference heard charges that the AFL Portland metal trades council had opposed the elevation of negroes to skilled la bor classifications. National AFL officials attended. OWI said the statement was is sued on behalf of the maritime commission, shipbuilding stabili zation committee, war production board's labor production division, navy department and war man power commission.

The worry seemed to be in re verse. The latter, associate editor of the Post-Intelligencer, reported in her weekly women's page column that her mother had written of the enjoyment of visiting with her son, Elliott, and an aunt," "but I can't help worrying about everyone of you at home. "If she was worried about all of us," wrote Mrs. Boettiger, "I just wonder what she thinks we've been thinking about her!" Ship to Be Named John Whiteaker WASHINGTON, DC, Nov.

Nothing remains of Rommel's African corps in Egypt except its casual- ties in men and machines. The Suez canal and the eastern Medi terranean are again secure. In Russia, the .northern jaw. of. mat maae-in-aerun aevice de signed to throttle the Soviets into submission and to isolate and im mobilize Turkey is no less stalled. German retreat before an on rushing Russian winter, perhaps soon to be f anged with a mas sive soviet offensive, seems all but inevitable. Moscow and Ankara reports indicate It is already In the making. Significant abatement of the weight and fury of nazi air at tack on Stalingrad and in the Caucasus is noted by the Russians. That German air power is wing ing west and south to meet the rising allied threat across the Mediterranean is the logical ex planation. It is the first definite symptom of relaxation; of enemy pressure on Russia due to the al lied offensive in Africa. Turkish observation posts cap that with otherwise unconfirmed but plausible reports that nazi troops from Russia also are, be ing shuttled westward into the Balkans to man a new potential axis defense front in the south that reaches from the Pyrenees to the Dardanelles, from Spain to Turkey.

The odds seem heavily in. allied fa vor. ; ! . , . Turkish accounts of .heavy nazi troop movements from Russia to the Balkans are of special inter est. If true, they indicate Hit ler's apprehension over; the securi ty of the Greek-Balkan sector of his southern front as well as over its French or Italian sectors. His concern . is justified.: His most vital war asset, the oil to keep his planes, tanks and war in dustries going, is in the Balkans. Could allied major I strategists freely pick the place at which they could strike the most deadly blow at the axis, without question the Rumanian oil flow would take first ) place in their circulations.

Doctor for Marriage 'When You're Sure ; Against 'Weekends NEW YORK-iffr-To the would be war bride, Dr. Gulielma F. Al sop, physician . for Barnard col lege and co-author of a book on marriage, offers this advice: "Once assured fa your own mind, marry himthe soldier, the sailer,, the man of the sky before he goes to war " ;;' - t " Dr. Alsop thinks that "a lot of nonsense is being written and said about niarriages.' - ; - J ! After years of association with girls at the school, she said in an interview, she felt that r young women should not be too timid or cautious about marrying men they've known for a reasonable length of time. .' Young people today' are ro mantic, idealistic and ready for any kind of devotion," she said. "The heightened emotion that sweeps the youth of t nation in war time makes for permanence in marriage. - "The basis, of all marriage is responsibility and trust And the young woman of today is self reliant, capable, and determined. I have confidence in the young woman of today to make a suc cess of marriage and motherhood. "But I do not advocate the weekend marriage, which is the chief thing to be feared. The young woman who meets a soldier ; on Friday, marries him on Sat urday and parts with him per haps for months on Monday may have serious difficulties ahead." She advised war brides not to date other men, but to devote leisure hours to war work or to entertaining' soldiers and sailors at properly conducted community parties. v She also warns young war brides: "You will now always be judged as a member of a part nership, not as an isolated indi vidual. You must reflect your husband's ideals as well as your own. "You have become ' a part of the war. Win the war with him."
