YANKS WARM FOOD ON SUR1BACH1 GAS By JAMES LINDSLEY IWO JIMA, March 4.—(Via Navy Radio)—®—Suribachi vol cano,. on the southern tip of Iv\*> Jima, acted up a bit today and as a result American Marines in that sector had hot rations for the first time in several days. During the night the 560-foot cone began erupting hot sulfurous steam from hundreds of little fis sures on the northern slope. “It didn’t take the boys long to get wise,” said Capt. E. R. Mc Carthy, of Medford, Mass., com manding officer of a weapons company. “They began shoving cans of rations into the cracks and in 15 minutes took them out pipipg hot.” McCarthy said an unusual num ber of Japanese were observed scuttling out of volcanic caves in the early morning and he specu lated that sulfur fumes might have driven them into the open. A huge gray cloud envelops the summit of Suriabachi on which the American flag was planted February 24, after a frontal as sault by Marines. Lieut. Harold C. Blair, of Tot fenville Station, Staten Island, N. Y., observation pilot, reported af 1 ter a dawn flight that “smoke is billowing from the crater and from smaller holes around the summit. The crater itself, which has been a gray brown, has taken on a greenish tinge and the edges are rimmed in black. I couldn't detect flame or lava flow.” There is still a force of the Fifth Marine Division on the mountain. These Leathernecks have been flushing Japanese die hards out of caves since the Y..nks took control of the sector. On the other side of the ledger, nature gave the Nipponese a lift today when heavy rain fell dur ing the morning. The Japanese apparently were short of water as several cisterns and storage basins were wrecked by Ameri can shells. One Marine officer said that rain which has fallen thus far today has given the enemy enough water for three days. -V-—— IN 111 ' - ■ --- roots AND HER BUDDIES- H0W UTTERLY rY EDGAR MARIrP I DIRECTING FIRE ON IWO JIAAA JAPS Liberated Prisoners Form Line At Santo Tomas Camp Scales To Check Poundage MANILA, March 4 —One of the longest queues in Manila is at the Santo Tomas scales. As liberated internees and pri soners of war await transportation home they are eager to restore as much of weight as possible now that good food is plentiful. There is only one scale and every day they wait in line—persons who lost as much as 100 pounds under Japanese captivity — to see how many ounces they have put on daily. All have gained appreci ably in the last couple of weeks, some enormously-. -V Third Marine Division Praised By Gen. Smith IWO JIMA, March 3.— (Via Navy Radio)—(/P)—Maj. Gen. Graves B. Erskine, Marine commander, re layed to his Third Division Leath ernecks today a congratulatory message from Fleet Marine Force Headquarters for “relentlessly leading the three Marine divisions drive through main Japanese de fenses.’’ (The Third Division played an important part in the capture of Motoyama Airfield No. 2 in the center of Iwo.) The mess.age singling out the Third Division for its leading role was from Lieut. Gen. Holland M. Smith, Marine commander of the Pacific, and “extended congratula tions to all officers and men of the Third Division for their exem plary conduct and slashing attacks against enemy positions on Iwo Jima since February 21.” -V British Princess Enters ATS As Second Subaltern LONDON, March 4.—(U.R)—Prin cess Elizabeth, 18-year-old heiress presumptive of Great Britain, has joined the ATS, counter-part of WACs, it was announced today. She received the honorary rank of second subaltern from her fath er, King George VI, and has enter ed training in southern England as an officer-driver.

CAREY Associated Press Science Writer WASHINGTON, March 4.—(AP)— More than 200 prisoners in three American penitentiaries are act ing .as volunteer “human test tubes” in experiments designed to conquer malaria. Inmates of the U. S. Peniten tiary at Atlanta, Ga., the Illinois State Penitentiary at Joliet, and the New Jersey Reformatory at Rahway have exposed themselves to hazardous experiences in order to help science test the efficacy of new and relatively-unknown drugs against one of mankind's worst scourges. They are cooperating in the search for a drug that actually will curb or prevent the disease. Quinine and the synthetic drug, Atabrine, are effective in keeping it in a mild stage, and they have effected some cures, but neither is cabaple of eradicating it com pletely. Half of the men have submit ted to mosquito bites capable of infecting them with the same form of “relapsing malaria'’ that has been suffered by large num bers of our troops. And they are being treated with chemicals which, if effective, will be re leased to the armed forces, and later to civilians. The remainder of the volunteers, while not yet infected with' mala ria, are taking increasingly lar ger doses of new drugs for long periods of time in order to prove that the drugs may be used safely against the disease. The new research was describ ed today by the Committee on Information of the National Re search Council’s division of med ical sciences. The drugs under test were not identified by the committee which merely said the materials had previously been successful against malaria in experimental animals. Nor did their report outline -any of the results obtained in the hu man tests which have been un derway for about a. year. Congress Held In Favor Of Real Estate Control WASHINTON, March 4.— (U.R) — Proposals that the government de :lare war on a real estate boom which is inflating the values of aomes and farmlands, are winning strong Congressional support. Whatever the reasons for- the boom—overcrowding in war cen ters, hedging against an uncertain future, increased war time incomes or profiteering — “it may under mine the mortgage structure of the entire country,” Price Adminis trator Chester Bowles declared. “A wave of foreclosures during the postwar period such as oc curred in the depression years would be disastrous,” he said. Last week w'e warned Lie Senate Banking Committee that both real estate and commercial rents should be brouhgt under price control. Chairman Robert F. Wagner, (D N. Y.) and Sens. Robert A. Taft, (R-O.) and Hugh A. Butler, (R TITOVn inflation is worse in the lower price brackets. Moreover increases have been greater in the West and South than in the Eastern and North-Central States. It said that residential values have increased 59 per cent in Los Angeles and by 28 per cent in Washington. Some centers in the Southwest have ex perienced 75 to 100 per cent hikes. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., and Chairman Marriner S. Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board are showing inter est in proposals for a special tax on real estate profits. A roll-back of land values would have to be authorized by Congress as part of the Stabilization Act which is up for renewal. Prices would be pegged to a base date, probably some time in 1941 or 1942 when values were more or less stable. impressed by Eowle’s testimony. Equally worried about the scramble for real estate are the Federal Reserve Board, the Trea sury and the National Housing Agency which say that much of it is speculative and therefore an inflation threat. Prices of farm lands have risen 43 per cent since March, 1939. Residential prices have gone up 36 per cent since 1942. Bowles pre dicted the farmland increase would go to 50 per cent this spring and that home prices would rise an other 12 per cent. The NHA reports that property ACROSS 1. Platform 5. Young horse 9.

The former president of East Carolina Teachers College is on trial on charges of embezzlement of more than $18,000 of special col lege and student funds. Meadows’ counsel said at the close of last week’s court session that only one more witness would be called to the stand, thus indica ting that the defense might rest its case late tomorrow. The State has not indicated how many witnesses would be called in its reply, but court officials have* predicted the trial might go into its seventh week depending on the number of prosecution witnesses offered in rebuttal and the length of attorney speeches to the jury. Judge Clawson L. Williams of Sanford is presiding over the trial. \ -V Lippi is the name of three distin guished Italian painters of the 15th 16th and 17th centuries. j.y. cirange 20. Calamitous 23.
