Yugoslav vessels sunk; survivors land in U.S.
An East Coast port (UP) –
Twenty-seven survivors of two Yugoslavian vessels sunk by enemy action in the Indian Ocean last June have arrived at an East Coast port, the 3rd Naval District announced today.
Seventeen were from a vessel whose 26 survivors were picked up after one day in a lifeboat and brought by a Greek ship to a Portuguese East African port. From there, they proceeded to South Africa, where the 17 sailed for the United States.
The entire crew of 33 on the other vessel, a freighter, was saved.
The crew landed on the eastern coast of South Africa. Natives guided them overland to a South African port, where 10 survivors embarked for the United States.
So you mean a peanut butter caused a japanese casualty?
No, just that peanut butter spread is now a casualty of war.

This is pretty funny. Indy should add peanut butter to his casualties when the war is over

Roosevelt admits slip in referring to Serbia
Washington (UP) –
President Roosevelt today admitted having made an error in nationalities during his recent speech to the world’s youth, but blamed it on his hobby of stamp collecting.
He was asked about his praise for “Serbia” in resisting the Nazis, the questioner suggesting that perhaps he meant to say Yugoslavia.
The President said he would have to confess that he made a slip and should have said “Yugoslavia.” He explained that the slip was due to the fact that in his younger days, he collected stamps from Serbia and the name stuck with him.
Serbia is the old pre-World War I name for a large portion of the territory which later became Yugoslavia.

U.S. uses wooden tanks, Nazi says
Vichy, France (UP) –
Manfred Zapp, former German Transocean News Agency correspondent in the United States, asserted before an audience of 250 in the Vichy Casino last night that “the entire American war effort is a bluff.”
Zapp asserted:
They are training with wooden tanks and have lost all their sources of raw materials. The cost of living has risen 32% and they won’t be able to build sufficient ships to compensate for sinkings before 1946.
