ations hundreds of patients will

last minute shaping rush. Thej

stallation have taken on the sem-
blance of Santa's workshop a,
hundreds of sick and wounded
patients turn out handmade leath-
er billfolds and purses, hobby
horses, fable lamps, rugs, ash-
trays. toys and many other inter-
. csting items.
Miss Edna Vehlow, chief occu-
■ pntional therapist, reported 1800
convalescing patients participat-
' ing in the program.
“The bed patients are snowing
unusual interest," she said, “To
give you some idea of this vast
project, during the past two weeks
642 ambulatory patients have
made 3210 articles in one shop,
1 estimate their production of
leather goods alone would be in
the neighborhood of $22,420 at
retail prices.”
Bill folds and purses seem to be
most popular.

finish two more of these,” he said.
"I promised them.”
An infantryman with the fifth
division, Pfc, Leroy Miller of
Highwood, 111., is instructing in
(he photographic laboratory while
awaiting his new artificial leg. He
specializes in portrait photograp-
hy and is assisting some 30 or 40
G. I.’s with portraits for their
families.
“These guys are good, and their
friends will get excellent prints,
it’s not a bad deal either when
you consider it doesn’t cost them
a cent. Just a little of their time,”
he commented.
One of the most industrious
and hapiest pworkers is Sgt. Jun-
lous F. Ricketts of Lubbock, Tex- |
as. Known os “Project J" to his'
friends because of 40 months he
sj>ent as a Japanese prisoner,
Ricketts is making up for lost
time.
"Man, I never knew how im-
portant Christmas really is," he
grinned, as he hustled back to an
almost completed calfskin bill-
fold.
Wooden hobby-horses, wheel-
barrow's, doll houses and all sorts
of toys were displayed in the art
department's paintshop. Plastics
and plexiglass received consider-
able attention as attested by hun-
dreds of bracelets, watch straps,
picture frames, ash trays, and
lamp bases. Bookeuds, .bowls and
vacs by the score are coming off
the production line at the pottery
shop.
Captain Richard L. Green, dir-
ector of the reconditioning divis-
ion, explains, “It’s mighty good
medicine.”
Greed For Oil
Inspires Reds
In Iran Grab
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8—t/T*)—
Iranian Ambassador Hussein Ala
today said there “might be some”
connection between Northern Iran-
ian disorders and his country's
refusal to grant Russia oil con-
cessions there.
The blame had been placed by
Russia m a note made public earl-
ier in the day bv the state depart-
ment, on "reactionary elements
which have opposed the extension
of national right" to people of the
affected area.
Russia also made it clear that
she would not withdraw all her
troops from Iran before March 2,
1946.
The United States in the note
on the uprising had suggested
that the United States, Great Brit-
ain and Russia all pull out their
forces by January 1. A tri-partv
treaty previously had fixed the
March 2 date.
The ambassador also told his
news conference he had "rea-
son to believe" that while Russ-
ian forces "ostensibly had evac-
uated Tehran", Soviet agents
were organising a "sort oi fifth
column in the city."
He did not know, however, he
said, whether it was the aim of
those “secret agents” to overthrow
the Iranian government.
Ala reiterated his previous
charges that the Russians were
“continuing to support the reb-
els” m Azerbaijan Province and
said Russia’s refusal to allow Iran-
ian reinforcements into the terri-
tory to “restore order” was il-
legal.

land waterways

Marines Fire
Into Village
When One Slain
TIENTSIN, Dec. 8 —r^)—
American Marines fired 24 mor-
tar shells into a village northeast
of here Dec. 4 after two Chinese
gunmen killed one Marine and
wounded another “in cold blood",
the Marines announced officially
today.
A Naval board of inquiry was
investigating the incident. Sea-
soned American combat men es-
timated, meanwhile, that the vil-
lages could have been wiped out
if all of the 60-millimeter mortal-
shells scored direct hits.
Maj. Gen. Keller E. Rockney,
commanding the Marine Third
Amphibious Corps, said the Ma-
rines opened fire after the gun-
men fled into the village and the
villagers failed to give them up
to the Marines.
His formal statement said a
Marine officer had given the vil-
lage a half hour to surrender the
two Chinese and issued the order
to fire when the deadline expired.
Major targets of USAAF-RAP
bombings were transportation
facilities in the Reich. Chart,
above, prepared from the re-
port of the U. S. Strategic
Bombing Survey, shows weight
of explosives dropped on Ger-
man transportation facilities.
