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

in the unit finally tied 220 volts

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

cutting head, and place a paper
fan blade under the screw on
the spinning wheel. Then place

HANNEGAN CUES
PAPERS SHOWING
HILLMAN CLEAR
New York. Nov. 3. (U.R)
Robert E. Hannegan, democratic
national chairman, speaking on
a nationwide broadcast with
President Roosevelt last night,
cited three Catholic publications
to prove that Sidney Hillman,
chairman of the CIO Political
Action Committee is not a com
munist. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, re
publican presidential candidate,
and other republican speakers,
have accused Hillman of "front
ing" for the communists in an
attempt to secure control of the
government.
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.
Hannegan said the three mag
azines were America, the Com
monwealth, and the Liguorian.

Dwight D. 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

38th armored infantry regiment.
He said no effort would be
spred to prevent relaxing dough
boys from mingling with Ger
