1100 AIRMEN RELEASED
Rec. 1 p.m. LONDON, September1 1. j Eleven hundr.ed American airmen who had been prisoners in Bucharest were liberated when the Rumanians broke with Germany last week, says the Bucharest correspondent of the Associated Press.
An American serviceman's interest in the patriotic activities carried out for the New Zealand Forces in the Pacific was shown by a contribution of five dollars he made to the New Zealand patriotic funds through Major C. W. O. Brain, National. Patriotic Fund Board commissioner in the Pacific. He also wrote a note. "I thought," he said, "that I might return your kindness and friendship by this written note. I have appreciated deeply the chance to talk and observe your work as well as. to see the New Zealand troops. I have been thinking that the National Patriotic, Fund could spend a contribution, so enclosed is an amount I wish were more. For the present at least I trust this will help someone in need."
