Informed of their forthcoming transfer to Russian -occupied sectorof Germany, many Nazi soldiers in-
terned at-Ranneslatt Camp in Sweden choge death rather than face that fate. Swedish policemen were
called out to stop suicides and escort Nazis to border.
Allies' Greatest
Hoax Of War
Strips Of Tinfoil propped By
Allied Planes Jammed Nazi
Radio Communications
Where was ,the German Luft-
waffe on the night before the
European invasion?
The question has been asked but
not answered, many a time since
that day, June 6, 106:4, when a tre-
mendous Allied fleet put ashore. in
Normandy—the greatest invasion
force in all history, writes •a corre-
spondent of. the Christian Science
Monitor, The men who manned the
ships and the soldiers who waded
ashore each thought it a very im-
portant question:
There were Luftwaffe units- in
the area, and the query 'still per-
sists. What were they doing, and
where were they?
The answer given to the- public
recently for the first time, hands a
well-deserved accolade to a small,
Tittle -known, but extremely hard-
working group of airmen.
From planes loaded with Od n4 -
Planes Loaded With "Window"
From air stations in the Midlands
and north of England on that
never -to -be -forgotten night, 30 air-
craft took off into the fast-growing
darkness .loaded with "window."
"Window" is the code name applied
to a thin metallic strip of foil, tile'
same kind of tinfoil used on chew-
ing guns anad candy wrappers be-
fore the war. This foil was tut
into thin strips and packaged, sever-
al thousand strips to a bundle
weighing two ounces, "Chaff" when
thrown from a plane has the same
• -effect on a radar scope as the plane
itself. A number - of these loosed
successively in tire air causes the
real targets to. become indis-
- tinguishable, and the effect can best
he likened to an electrical smoke
screen. -
Feint Successful
:These 30 planes rendezvoused
over the coast of England, across
from Calais. Flying at an altitude
an air borne mission toward France,
they threw out their "chaff." The
scopes of the German -radar warn-
ing net registered a great fleet of
:aircraft coming, and the Luftwaffe
Was ordered to intercept,
The Royal Air Force planes
bireled the area hi which the Ger
'than fighters were waiting, and with
Opecial transmitters jammed ground
sir radio' communications, keeping
the Germans in the air until out of
gas, preventing their diversion to
the actual invasion point. Allied
Planes flew' over naval vessels,
dropping "chaff" which gave the
same effect on German scopes as a
co-ordinated naval invasion armada,
All this was carried on around the
Calais area, while the real invasion
force went somewhere else!
Thus it was that a successful
feint was made through the use of
radar countermeasures and the first '
phase of the greatest invasion feat
in military history was on its way
without mishap.,
Industrial Use
of Atomic Energy
Prediction that the first peace-
time use of atomic energy would
be either for a big ,power station
or for boilers of a large ship made
by. Sir George Paget Thomson,
chairman of a group of British
natural scientists appointed in 1940.
to develop atomic fission.
"Gradually the new power will
spread to other purposes," Sir
George said. "Bart the internal
combustion engine will long re-
main the most suitable prime
mover for small powers.

WHAT SCIENCE
IS DOING
New Drug from Whey
Canadian farmers will soon be
playing an important part in the
control of such'. diseases as typhoid
and dysentry. Milk sugar extract-
ed from whey and fed to the
penicillium mould from which
penicillin is refined, will be used
to produce the new wonder drug,
Canadian Drug Manufacturers
streptomy,ems
are understood to be planning full
scale production of streptomycin
in the near future. This drug is
outstandingly effective against dis-
eases caused by gram negative
bacteria, comparatively few of
which are suppressed by penicillin.
Production of both drugs in
Canada has been made possible
by the Dominion Department - of
Agriculture's organizing the col-
lection of whey from cheese fac-
tories in parts of Eastern Ontario
and Quebec. Transported in tank
trucks to a condensery in New
York State, the whey .is; processed
into milk sugar- and whey powder.
Most of this milk sugar and some
of the whey powder returns to
Canada, the sugar for use in drugs
and baby foods and the powder
for enhancing the vitamin 'content
of livestock feeds.
Tens of millions of pounds of
Canadian whey have been con-
verted to these special products
in the past two and • one=half
years.
Princess Elizabeth
A Very Human Girl
Her Royal Highness Princess
Elizabeth has taken another step
toward full adult status by going
on her first after -theatre supper
party, unattended except by the
other -youthful members of her
party, relates the Windsor Star.
The picture of this young woman
dancing until past midnight in a
public restaurant is an appealing
one. It means something to Bri-
ton all over the world.
In few monarchies, could such a
precious personage go about so un-
protected and in such perfect safe-
ty. Few of her rank in other coun-
tries would want to do so. The.
sheltered little Princess is growing
up :lite a very human young wo-
man, and, every such incident in
her career brings her closer to the
hearts of her people.
They Shouldn't Die
Children are dying of diphtheria
says Major General'Chisholnt, 'be-
cause of the ignorance, prejudice
and negligence of their parents",
and the time will come "when par-
ents allowing their children to die
unnecessarily will be charged with
manslaughter', Strong statements,
but true, says the Ottawa Citizen.
Use of CoalOnce-
Considered Illegal
Coal is front-page, news today.
It is- difficult to realize that
there was .a time when coal was
highly unpopular. Legislation was
introduced to prevent its use, says
Toronto Saturday Night.
In the reign of King Edward 1
coal was regarded with the deepest
suspicion and disfavor. Its use was
forbidden in London,
,The penalty against infringe-
ments of this law wasmostsevere
—a large fine or even the suspen-
sion of a business. One Londoner
was convicted and sentenced to
death for breaking it, - ,
In winter the staple food for the
Eskimo is boiled seal and walrus
meat.
First Known Cases '
'of DDT Poisoning
The firstknown case of fatal
poisoning by DDT was reported
Test week in the current'. issue of
the .:British Medical Journal,
'The Journal Said that - the 1.9 -
months -old child of a .West' Afri-
can soldier died after drinking ap-
proximately one ounce from a bot-
tle of DDT - and crude paraffin
°Mixture. Tests, the Journal said,
proved' the insecticide and not the
paraffin caused the death,
The Journal also reported that
tests at the Royal Naval Physio-
agical Laboratory had revealed'a
grave hazard of "DDT intoxica-
tion" for persons using concentra-
tions of the 'insecticide.
I£ saki persons' exposed to DDT
were alfected by smarting of the
eyes, tiredness, heaviness and ach-
ing of limbs, irratability and a feel-
ing of mental incompetence.
One subject of the experiments
had to stay in bed for a day, it
added. ,
Rationing Ensures
Even Distribution
From the'great mass of figures
presented to the food production
conference one thing stands out—
that Canadians are eating today
more of almost everything than
they did before the war, and this
despite rationing, says the Ottawa.
Journal. In other words, consider-
ing -the country as a'witole, ration-
ing is no hardship, but is an effec-
tive means of even distribution,

It Takes Time
To, Learn Trades
No man can become' a skilled
workman ,is1a fewmonths; 0, car-
penter who has had four years'
apprenticeship is just beginning to
be capable : of good work, and
bricklaying takes just as long to
learn, says the Peterborough Ex=
anainer. Boys and young men now-
adays do not want to take the time
M learntrades, at low wages; they
do not like the .discipline' Which
learning a trade .involves. Appar-
ently they would rather be unskil-
led workers, subject to every lay-
off and whim of fate, than skilled
workman who are always' sure of
Sobs.
Rations Down Under
Will Not be Lifted
There is noprospectof meat and
butter rationing being lifted in Aus-
tralia before 1947, according to Fe-
deral Commerce Department ex-
perts. Although the end of the war
brought a sharp: decrease in service
demands for these two commodi-
ties, all surpluses above minimum
hone consumption requirements
will have to be exported to main- •
tain the peoples of Britain and re-
lieve distress in liberated areas.
Officials disclosed that Australia
already, is sending substantial sup-
plies of processed milk to Borneo,
Singapore, Shanghai, and Hong
Kong.
Have You Heard?
"I „called to make an ap-
pointment with the. .dentist"
"He's out just now."
"Ah, when do you expect
hint to be out again?"
After a very thorough exami-
nation the Army doctor eyed the
tall . and very thin recruit in si-
lence.
"Well, doctor,"- said the recruit
at last, "how do I stand?"
"Goodness 'knows," replied the
M.O. "It's a miraelel".
Jane (to the policeman on
the corner. "Please, Mr, Po-
Beeman, have you seen a lady
without a little girl that looks
like me?"
The lost chord was surely elusive
And caused a - composer worry;
But have you looked, brother and
sister,
For string when you're in a
hurry?
