HUGE ORDNANCE DEPOT
“ SOMEWHERE IN BRITAIN ” INVASION PREPARATIONS (Rec. 10 p.m.) LONDON, Mar. 6. The Sunday Express publishes a reporter’s description of a mammoth ordnance depot “somewhere in Britain, 7 . where bedding, cooking utensils, tools, and general service stores are piled in row after row each 20 feet high, filling one of Britain's largest warehouses and overflowing into warehouses and buildings elsewhere. A senior ordnance officer who was asked where all this was going replied: “That is a secret known only to those at the Casablanca Conference and a few at the War Office. I do not know myself. You are the first civilian to see this tangible evidence of the fighting that is to be done this year in a war theatre yet to be opened.’’
