' Br Jack Gulnn United Press Correspondent New Delhi, India (U.R) Amer icans at home who may think the present generation of young citizens has lost the inventive genius of their pioneering an cestors, and are no longer capa ble - of building houses with wooden pegs and the like, should take a trip around the China Burma India theater of of war. Americans fighting the Jap anese in this part of the world have invented everything from 45-caliber pistols to electric fans, including such other lux urious articles as burglar alarms, semi-comfortable beds, reading lamps, portable cook- stoves and means of cooling beer in a hurry. All of which, stacked up against grandpa's wooden-peg house, puts him pretty much in the shade. Down below Mogaung, and in ether sections of the theater where living conditions are on the minus side of Park Ave., American GI's have devised a bed which, taking everything into consideration, is rather comfortable. In that section, everybody sleeps in a jungle hammock. Sleeping in a jungle hammock requires a certain sense of balance without which the sleeper is liable to have to be extricated from his bed with knife. To avoid rolling over in the air, GI's have built a rectangular frame from bam boo, covered it with a ground sheet and then placed the ham mock above this. Thus, when the GI gets in his hammock, it rests on this cot-like frame and acquires considerable stability. In the same sections, where the time of arrival of flashlight batteries is a question which is not even debated any longer, inventive GI's have constructed general utility lamps, used for everything from reading to lighting oneself to bed. These lamps are made from discarded C ration cans, a short length of parachute rope as a wick, and a fuel, believe it or not, of in sect repellent. How to Cool Beer Cooling beer, when a GI can get beer, is another trick with gasoline. A hole is dug in the ground and the been is placed in the hole and then covered with dirt. Gasolhie is poured over the covered hole and ig nited. WKen it burns out, the beer isiug up and it's cool. One burglar alarm, of a sort, was built by a unit which kept missing articles of , clothing mm' a 1 Jmm'f Come to Wards1 fS THE FEATURE ;0F EVERY TOY JTEM AT WARDS!

The boys in the unit finally tied 220 volts to the line, which made wet drawers too hot to 'handle. The electric fan was recorded in the Gremlin, published by the personnel of an air base in India. The fan is made from an electric razor. - Says the Gremlin: "The process is simple. The men simply take the razor mo tor out of the case, remove the cutting head, and place a paper fan blade under the screw on the spinning wheel. Then place the motor back in half the case upside down. The gadget puts out a real breeze, and is easily hung Inside the mosquito net." HANNEGAN CUES PAPERS SHOWING HILLMAN CLEAR New York. Nov. 3.

Hannegan branded as "a de liberate lie" Dewey's statement in Boston that the democratic chairman had been instructed by Mr. Roosevelt to "clear everything with Sidney." Hannegan predicted that Dew ey s "smear win prove oiien- sive to many catholics wno De lieve Mr. Roosevelt's doctrines of social justice are essentially those that Catholic leaders have been advocating since the time of Pope Leo XIII.

Eisenhower's order against fraternizing with the Germans Is being enforced so rigidly that doughboys in Ger many now refer to chatting with civilians as "the $65 offense."- The chatting is held to be an "unnecessary contact" and may bring fines of $25 to $65 for the offending soldier. The thoroughness with which the order is being enforced was revealed by Lt. Col. C. P. Rus sell, executive officer of the 38th armored infantry regiment. He said no effort would be spred to prevent relaxing dough boys from mingling with Ger man civilians who will include, in increasing numbers, German agents seeking military infor mation which they may com municate to their military offi cers in unoccupied areas.
