I don't think anybody would hoot at a man whos singing, said CBS Correspondent William Downs in suggesting the songiest. I arreed It was worth trying, try-ing, and It worked. We reached reach-ed a British-held airfield and sent reinforcements to the four other Americans still . holding out In besieged American Amer-ican headquarters. . We had gone to the headquarters headquar-ters for lunch, only to wind up In a tighter spot than we ever had been In reporting me war in Europe. It had been eerily quiet as we drove our Jeep to the headquarters, headquar-ters, and we had to detour around several road blocks made from trees. Japanese sentries at the gate saluted at we entered. Decide to Wait The table was laid, but we decided de-cided to wait a few minutes for Lt. Col. Peter Dewey of Washington, D. C. and Ma. Herbert Bluechel. Suddenly yelling and shooting broke out along the. road iuu yards away. From a field in front of the house appeared the bedraggled figure of Bluechel. He had a .49 automatic in his hand and was pumping shots toward the road as he half-staggered into the front garden. His head, neck and left side were covered with blood. "They've killed the colonel!" he shouted as though In a daze. "They've killed the colonel." By this time, a yelling crowd of Orem perhaps 100 or more Annamltes were nearing the house. dhel. "They're trying to get us." He reached the house' and collapsed into a chair. He. said he and Dewey had ran into a road barricade and had told Annamltes they wished to drive through. "Americans, Americans," they shouted, he said. But the Annamltes opened up with machine-guns and blew off Dewey's head. Bluechel made his way afoot to the headquarters, shooting as he came. Bluechel miraculously escaped unhurt. The blood on him was from Dewey. By this time, bullets were spattering spat-tering against the house. We quickly took stock. There were six of us altogether, augmented but not much by Japanese sentrlps. We ran into the garden. I flopped flop-ped behind the stono wall and looked up to see Downs standing a few feet away firing with a carbine into shrubs beyond. All Take Stations Somebody in. the garden yelled "There goes one!" The reply came from a second-floor second-floor window: "I can get him." There was a shot, then: "I got the sonuvabltch!. "Nice shooting!" came a shout from the garden. We all took stations along the garden wall. 1 felt pretty helpless with my .45, but there were no more carbines left. For about a half hour we shot at Annamites on the road, in the road before headquarters, and in shrubbery along the side. Then during a break, we dashed for the house. 1 went to the roof with two others. We shared a carbine. car-bine. Occasionally an Annamite would run across the field or a clearing in the shrubs and we'd shoot. m i i ii . t l . i!3. vnarioiic win isit--iivu en- tertained the Devere club at her; home Tuesday evening, the house was beautifully decorated with gladiola and other lovely fall flowers; A book review was given by Moorlan Snow entitled 'Leave Her to Heaven."

Nelson, MMMlc has arrived in tne states ana will be, discharged soon after spending the past four years in the U. S. navy. It became pretty obvious that help would have to be summoned. We went Into a huddle and Downs and I volunteered vol-unteered to walk to a British- held airfield a mUe and half away to get a message out. We struck out across the fields giving a wonderful imitation of two scared guys trying to act non chalant. Then Downs had his inspiration in-spiration and we burst into song not good, but apparently effective. We met three Gurkhas near tha airfield and addressed them in Pidgin English. They answered in perfect Oxford acents and promised prom-ised to go to headquarters. At the airfield, we found Air Transport Command Ma). Frank Rhoads of Wilkes Ban e, Penn. He telephoned British readquarters. INQUEST CALLED INTO FATAL CRASH MOUNTAIN HOME, Ida., Sept. 29 (U.R) Coroner Pi S.

KEEMLE Military victory by peace loving lov-ing nations la not enough. - The sentence Is Quotation from a 'report prepared by the leading engineers of the United States for consideration by the1 government. The repotr is entitled "Indus trial Disarmament of aggressor states" and aeaia with Germany in this first of a series In which other oth-er aggressor nations will be dis cussed subsequently. The authors represent a Joint committee of the five major engineering Institutes of this country. The chief Interest of the report re-port lies In Its mixture of cold scientific approach and political po-litical reality. The engineers, like the chemists who helped develop the atomic bomb, are among the men who make modern warfare tick. Their viewpoint on how to prevent a one-time aggressor from repeating his offense Is therefore there-fore valuable. The distinguished men who compiled the report, headed by Robert E. McConnell, present the' practical ideas of science In re lation to political post-war ad' Justment. Their analysis Is particularly par-ticularly timely in connection with the meeting of the council of Allied foreign ministers in London. . The report is strong and defin ite on the subject of depriving aggressor nations for long time to come of the power of further aggression, it says: "History has proven that the perversion v of morals and ideas, In which total war hat its Incep tion, will continue as a dominant characteristic of aggressor peo- Eles for many years. Unless the fatted Nations retain tha power, through good will, collaboration and force, to dispose for the aggressor ag-gressor peoples of inflammatory Issues, man will be .enmeshed In continuing conflict. "Military victory by peace loving lov-ing peoples Is therefore not enough. There must be subtracted from the aggressor peoples, for a long period of recuperation, the fundamentals of their Industrial war potential for armed aggression." At the same time, the report recognizes a principle which some observers feel has not been sufficiently stressed in Allied discussion of Germany's place In the peace-time economy of Europe.! Eur-ope.! Much the same thing presumably pre-sumably applies to Japan in the far east, although the present report re-port deals only with Germany. The report warns: "Elimination of. German industries, in-dustries, leaving agriculture as the sole occupation, would produce pro-duce an economic dislocation and social chaos of destructive magnitude, magni-tude, not alone in Germany but throughout Europe. Adequate en-forement en-forement would be practically Impossible. "Furthermore, severe re- strlctlons of this nature would I be repudiated by world pub- lie opinion, la s relatively abort time, resulting to a repetition re-petition of the aftermath of World War V It Is recommended that 'Germany 'Ger-many be limited rigidly in the production of synthetic fixed nitrogen, ni-trogen, synthetic liquid fuels, aluminum, atomic energy and steel and ateel products. The result would not be mora than about a five per cent4ls location of labor In Germany, tha report says, adding that such a turnover could easily be absorbed in peace-time agriculture and consumer goods Industries. It adds that the recommended procedure should not be considered as a substitute for the maintenance of ah adequate United Nations police force In Germany for as long as the danger of re-armament exists. r cl Crilarlct vl he rrr nfl 6$ INTRODUCTORY SIZI M.25 OTHERS $2.25.
