STORES FOR NEW WAR THEATRE
Mammoth Ordnance Depot (Rec. 10.10 p.m.) LONDON,- March 6. The Sunday Express displays a reporter’s description of a mammoth ordnance depot somewhere in Britain where bedding, cooking utensils, tools and general service stores are piled row after row, each 20 feet high, filling one of Britain’s largest warehouses and overflowing into warehouses and buildings elsewhere. The senior ordnance officer, 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 don’t know myself. You are the first civilian to see this tangible evidence of the fighting to be done this year in a war theatre yet to be opened.”
