New Cold-Weather
Clothes for Army
WASHINGTON, (jF)—The army
has approved for future use a new
cold-weather, combat clot h i n g
outfit for field troops.
The army said yesterday, how
ever, that the new garments will
not be ready for general use until
the stocks of present uniforms are
exhausted.
The quartermaster corps devel
oped the new uniform as a part of
its research program aimed at im
proving food, col thing and equip
ment.
The outfit follows the “layer
principle” of the present wet-cold
field uniform—that is layers of
woolen clothing beneath outer
cotton garments which are wind
re s i stant and water-repellent.
Some of the new items will be
lighter in weight but warmer.
The new items include a double
lined jacket. It will be lighter and
less bulky.
The present high-necked sweat
er will be out. But in the new
lineup will be: pajama-type un
derwear. Wool shirts with square
tails that cen be worn in or out
side the trousers.
If some people had more horse
sense they could say “nay” a lot
oftener.

In Tokyo, U. N. commander
Gen. Douglas MacArthur celebrat
ed his 71st birthday busy at his
desk as usual. He predicted:
“He (the enemy) will reach a
point where he cannot put any
more equipped troops at the front
than I have—and that will be bad
for him. We’re going to give the
Chinese a bloody nose somewhere
in the South.”
Interest in the security of em

The entire city of 12,000 people

A mound of solid ice more than
three feet high surrounded a fire

The mound had to be melted

pick and shovel.
