The piece notes Rochester prisoners refused to return to cells due to heat and police used a fire hose on them, illustrating the folly of stamp price logic and hot weather in detention.

Rochester, N. Y

Cryptic clue list hints and a tongue in cheek war dispatch

A humorous piece mocks wartime press writing claiming generals in the Red Chinese army help guard camp grounds and perform K P duty. It notes a sigadier brindle climbing ranks to Yard Bird, First Class alongside pop song recording history since 1941. It ends with a jokey line about Red China planning a man made moon satellite.
