(Canadian Press) Strict secrecy
that has cloaked the mass move
ment of fighting planes from the
United States to Russia over the
Canadian and Alaskan wilder
ness route was lifted today after
nearly two years 01 me neavy
lend-lease iramc.
It was learned from U. S. mili
tary sources here that approxi
mately 10,000 American-built
planes have been sent to soviet
f. tntB dnM tho fall nf 1Q41
with about half of them being
flown via tamonion ana r air
banks, Alaska.
a rtT-oom nf 79011 nlanes have
gone to the Russian fronts over
this route in me iirsi iour raonuis
of 1944 alone, it ws reported.
During heavy weekend traffic,
Edmonton residents have seen a
mighty aerial parade, miles in
length. The Red Star of Russia
has been borne through Cana
dian and Alaskan skies on many
types of aircraft.
Officers reported that losses

' The Russia-bound planes fol
low a route to Alaska pioneered
by Canadian airmen and devel
oped by Canadian engineers.
American ferry pilots fly the
ships from Great Falls, Mont.; to
Fairbanks. The Russians take
over at Fairbanks and fly to Si
beria via a 54-mile leg to Nome,
on the Bering sea. The Great
Falls-Edmonton hop is 600 miles
and the leg to Fairbanks is near
ly 1000 more.
. Russian airmen have been
seen frequently here and have
been acclaimed at public gather
ings. Russian women also have
participated in the flights from
Alaska, but none have been seen
here. . ;
Only once has any publicity
been attached to tho Russian
ferry route.- It was Undersecre
tary of War James J. Patterson's
reference to .it before a senate
committee )'". Washington, but a
blanket of secrecy promptly en
veloped, it. again.

The three recruiters will have
their headquarters at the WAC
office in the postoffice building
here. They expect to be in
Klamath Falls about a week.
. WACs assigned to the ports of
embarkation serve the transpor

the most vital responsibilities in

LAND The officers and men
of the armament and ordnance

of Montague, Mass., claim to
have established a record when
they recently loaded their B-24
Liberators in one hour and 15
minutes for an attack on the in
vasion area in France.
Ordnance and armament per
sonnel are accustomed to little
or no sleep on many days as a
matter of course, but on this
day among those who could
hardly recall when he last slept
was Staff Sergeant W. S. Shu

as in daylight-
This group recently received
official commendation from Lt.
Gen. James H. Doolittle, com
manding eighth air force, for
combat achievement on their
first mission which was against
Berlin. It was the longest initial
assault ever flown by any unit
in tne European theater and the
heaviest daylight, bombardment
of the German capital on record
up to that time.

Reflecting reduced supplies and
a lower level of livestock produc
tion, civilian meat supplies dur
ing the fall and early winter
may be 8 or 10 per cent below
those available in the first half
of this year.
. This forecast was given by the
agriculture department today in
a reDort on the food situation
1 which said that food supplies as
a whole will be relatively plen
tiful during the fall and winter.
. Reduced suimlies of meats and
dairy products will be offset, the
report said, by larger supplies
of fresh fruits and vegetables
and cereal products.
The department said tne civil
ian food supply is being main
tained at present levels despite
large war requirements because
of the "tremendous increase" in
total food production since the
beginning of the war- The vol
ume of agricultural production
of foods for sale and farm use in
1944 is expected to be 38 per
cent above the 1935-39 average
and almost 5 per cent larger than
last year. Most of this increase
over 1943 will be in food grains
principally wheat , fruits,
truck crops and meats. ... . ,

Strikes Ove r N a tio n
By The Associated Preas
A sudden work stoppage
among 6000 employes . of the
Philadelphia Transportat i o n
comrianv. and a controversy af
fecting 2200 Montgomery Ward
and company employes in De
troit, brought the nation's total
number of workers idle because
of labor disputes to nearly 28,000
today.
The Philadelphia stoppage re
sulted in hundreds of thousands
of the city's workers being left
stranded on street corners, some
of them getting to work two and
three hours late and others sim
ply staying home.
A spokesman for the company,
which operates the city's entire
transportation system, said the
management understood tho buj,
trolley and subway drivers quit
in protest against hiring of negro
operators. A union spokesman,
however, declared there was no
strike. Many drivers had report
ed in ill, telling reporters they
were "too sick to take the cars
out."
Montgomery Ward and com
pany appeared in the picture
again. Three Detroit area stores
and 2200 employes were affected
in a -controversy whlc.i Jen
Craig, international representa
tive of the CIO United Retail
and, Wholesale Employes, called
a lockout resulting from failure
of the company to pay overtime
to supervisors working on inven
tory. The company declined com
ment.
The Montgomery. Ward case
was certified by the war labor
board to federal labor concilia
tors and company and union of
ficials were summoned to a meet
ing today. The big mall order
house and the Chicago local of
the same union were involved
in a bitter dispute in April, cli
maxed by temporary govern
ment seizure, with the aid of
troops, of the company's Chi
cago facilities and forcible ejec
tion from his office of beweli
Avery, Montgomery Ward board
chairman. Final settlement of
that case is still, pending.
In another Detroit dispute,
7000 workers were idle and five
plants of the General Motors'
Chevrolet gear and axle divis
ion were virtually closed. This
case involved complaints by
spokesmen for' Local 235 of! the
