...flag was hauled down from the Bardia Government House; at 1130 the next afternoon Bardia officially surrendered. The British raised their estimate of prisoners taken to over 25,000, including General Annibale Bergonzoli, leader of Fascist volunteers in Spain, and four other generals.* Forty-five light tanks and five medium tanks were captured or destroyed. Australians were already carrying supplies in Italian trucks, dispatches on Italian motorcycles. They were ensconced in Italian quarters, eating Italian food...
...Martin Airport near Baltimore, cut the sky at 340-360 m.p.h., landed for checkups by Martin engineers and Army Air Corps observers. It was one of the Army's (and the R. A.

Oliver is the only man who has successfully crossbred any of the 1,100 species of earthworms. For feeding chickens, frogs, etc., he produced a meaty hybrid ten inches long. Another hybrid, short and thick, yields a colorless, odorless, volatile oil useful in medicine. A medium-sized hybrid, very tough and vigorous, can be used to recolonize soils whose worm populations have been killed off by strong fertilizers or poison sprays. Oliver calls it his "soilution worm." In California and elsewhere there are several hundred farmers who have planted great batches of eggs, raised earthworm armies in their soil. Some...
Light-tank production (mostly by American Car and Foundry Co.) has zoomed to 125 a month; both divisions by last week had more than their allotted complement. But for the missing mediums they used old, twin-turreted crocks ("Mae Wests" to their crews). Production of the real thing is lagging at the Army's Rock Island (Ill.) Arsenal. Chrysler Corp. also has an order for medium tanks, has had to postpone its first delivery date from next March to next September...
