SIT DOWN STRIKE High ranking officials of the agriculture department are frank in say, ing that farmers are impeding the war effort just as much as striking coal miners when they stage a strike on corn. Feed corn is desperately needed by poultry farmers, dairy farmers, and corn processors. But corn is not moving to market because farmers are holding for a higher price. The typical farmer in the corn belt today is looking at his bins full of corn and reasoning that he might as well hold it for a while, since he doesnt need the cribs yet, and since the price might go up. Washington is partly to blame for this. The attacks on OPA, the firing of Chester Davis, and the congressional demands to set aside the price ceiling, all have created uncertainty. So the farmer sits tight, saying, Ill just wait till they make up their minds. But when thousands of farmers do the same thing, it creates a scarcity which throws the national economy out of gear just as much as the lack of coal production. The patriotic thing to do, say Washington officials, is to send your corn to market now, especially since the farmer is guaranteed the benefit of a price rise, if it comes. Meantime, the corridors of the department of agriculture are seething. Pressure for a corn rise is terrific. This is Marvin Jones first big battle.

He stood in the grocery store watching the shoppers, while Mrs. Wickard did the buying. He noticed a crush in front of the meat counter, while the vegetables, including potatoes, were going begging. Thats human nature for you, mused Wickard. Only a few weeks ago, when potatoes were short for a few days, there was a great howl from the public, and potatoes were sold in the black market. Now theres plenty of potatoes but everybody wants meat. When Mrs. Wickard appeared from the crush, she announced with pride that she had some meat. How much did you pay for it? asked Wickard. Nine points, replied Mrs. Wickard. No, said the secretary of agriI mean how much money culture. how much a pound? Oh, I dont know, she said. All I know is it cost nine points out of my red stamps. Wickard shook his head. Thats the trouble with you women, he said. Youre not thinking about the cost of food, but only whether you can get it or not. How do you expect merchants to hold to the price ceilings, if you dont even know what you pay? Mrs. Wickard promised to do better next time. Want to Move Fast. The method used in invading Sicily was a compromise among land, air and naval elements, resulting in the peculiar amphibious operations Churchill talked about. But the air forces believe they can move even faster and more effectively in conquering other parts of Italy if they dont have to be tied down by classical warfare. For instance, with bases in Sicily, army airmen think they can so pulverize the industrial plants of northern Italy that they can bomb that country out of the war without waiting for huge landing operations to come up and help them. Then with air bases in northern Italy, they are within range of the hidden synthetic gasoline and rubber factories which Hitler has moved into Austria and Czechoslovakia. Thus, step by step, the air forces believe they can knock out the enemy without resorting to classical warfare. Axis Planes Knocked Out. Here is one significant thing army airmen point to. During the ten days just before we invaded Sicily the Nazis had been sending a lot of new planes into Sicily and southern Italy. But after one day of fresh Axis air strength, which was heavily damaged by U. S. planes, there followed a day or two of weak resistance. In other words, Axis planes were knocked out and had to wait for reinforcements. These reinforcements kept coming up until about two days before the invasion, after which Axis air resistance was light. CAPITAL CHAFF C Since the Washington Post exposed the use of diplomatic cars for driving to dinner, many a Washington diplomat has been going out on foot . . . Among five Washingtonians who were penalized for pleasure driving was John Quincy Adams. C. One reason for the Nazi announcements that an Allied invasion will a date is that start on if the invasion does not materialize, Hitler can boast that it was called off because of German strength. such-and-su- ch n CHAPTER II For the most part we lived on our boats had to, because we never knew when we would have to haul out into the bay in case of a attack. Anyway we had a base again. Next, we found our barges loaded with gasoline in drums which had been towed out into the bay for us by the navy if they got smacked by bombs, they didnt want them burning near the wharves. There was nobody in charge but a watchman. Each boat holds two thousand gallons, and of course it was a job pouring all that through a funnel. We noticed, as we poured, that this gas had both water and rust in it yet there was no way to strain it out; we had no chamois. What we couldnt then know was, this gas had been sabotaged. Well never find out when or where the guy who did it is safe, if hes alive. But someone had dissolved wax in it wax which congealed inside our gas tanks in a coat half an inch thick .wax which clogged our filters so that sometimes wed have to stop and clean them after an hours run. Thats the fuel we had to fight the war on, we were to find out. Then I went over to the section base to make arrangements for our food, and we got another bump. The navy already realized a food shortage was coming and cut us down to two rations a day breakfast and supper. All you got for lunch was stomach cramps about noon. There was plenty of them. I also thought Id better have the doctor look at my finger. Id snagged it a few days before and hadn't paid much attention, but now it was swollen about as thick as a walnut. I guessed maybe it was a minor strep infection. What I didnt know was that out East the streptococci are bigger, and meaner than bulldogs and not to be fooled with. He took one look and began to talk about the hospital, but 1 said the hell with that. I was the second officer of the squadron and badly needed. We settled that Id come over to see this doctor daily. dive-bomb- er The big alarm came at noon on December 10 wed pulled up alongside a mine sweeper for water when word came that a large flight of Jap planes was headed toward the Manila area, coming from the direction of Formosa. We pulled away from the tender, out into open water, and fifteen minutes later we saw them several formations I to twenty-ncounted about twenty-seve- n ine planes in each bombers lovely, tight, parade-groun- d formations, coming over at about 25,000 feet. But, I thought, when our fighters get up there and start rumpling their hair, those formations wont look so pretty. Only where were our fighters? The Japs passed on out of sight over the mountains, and then we began hearing the rumble of bombs only first we felt the vibrations on our feet, even out there in the water, and we knew something was catching hell. But what? Manila? Maybe Nichols Field? Or even Cavite, our own base? We couldnt know. I did, said Bulkeley laconically. I was there, at Cavite. The Admiral sent us a warning that they were coming from Formosa, and headed on down in our direction across Northern Luzon. So we hauled our boats out into the bay. They kept beautiful formations, all right. The first big V had fifty-foplanes in it, and they came in at about 20,000, with their fighters on up above to protect them from ours only ours didnt show! We couldnt figure it. First they swung over Manila and began to paste the harbor skipping. It was a beautiful clear day, and I remember the sun made rainbows on the waterspouts of their bombs. They were from a hundred and fifty to two hundred feet high, and it made a mist screen so dense you could hardly tell what was happening to the ships. It turned out nothing much was they only hit a few. But then that big beautiful V pivoted slowly and moved over Cavite began circling it like a flock of buzzards. They were too high to see the bomb bay doors open, but we could see the stuff drop slowly, picking up speed; only as we watched we found we had troubles of our own. Because five little dive bombers peeled off that formation, one by one, and started straight down for us. When they were down to about fifteen hundred feet, they leveled off and began unloading. Of course we gave our boats full throttle and began circling and twisting, both to dodge the bombs and to get a shot at them. Our gunners loved it two-mot- two-ho- ur well-disciplin- ed ur or j U.FEATUREJ t was their first crack at the Japs. Manila I saw something very queer I remember Chalkers face; hes shipping of all descriptiona was machinists mate from Texarkana pouring out of that Manila breaka ghootin Texas boy.

And then I saw was set. Houlihan, who was firing them a big formation of about the other pair of 50's, was the same. ven bombers. By then I was They'd picked out one plane and beginning to learn that if we saw were pouring it up into the sky, when planes in the air, they would be we saw the plane wobble, and pret- Japs, not ours. Then came another er twenty-se- ty soon she took off down the bay, weaving unsteadily, smoking, and all at once, two or three miles away, she just wobbled down into the drink with a big splash. So we know the 35 boat got one. Meanwhile the 31 boat had shot down two more. After that the planes didnt bother strafing the MTBs. Guess the Jap pilots sack at their Formosa base passed the word around. We went on back to Cavite and offered to carry more wounded. The big base was one sheet of flame except for the ammunition depot. Only a piece of the dock was left, and through the shimmering flames you could see only jagged walls. Then we saw Admiral Rockwell he was directing the fire apparatus which was trying to save the depot. He is a tall man, a fine figure of a sailor, but his head was down that day. In a dead voice he told us wed better get out that the magazine was liable to go up any minute. We offered to take him with us to Mariveles, but he said no, his job was here, to formation of twenty-ninand still another of twenty-siIf they were after shipping, we shouldnt get too close to the other boats, so I changed course. They wheeled majestically around the bay's perimeter, and each time they Passed Manila a load would go whistling down and presently huge columns of black and white smoke began rising we could even see some fires, although we were still eleven miles away. Where in hell is our air force? our crew kept asking me. Why in Christs name don tf they do someI thing? But the thing thJ really got me was that these big J)ap formations, circling the bay like it was a parade maneuver, each time would sail impudently right over Corregidor! Didn't they know we had t guns? They knew all right, but it turned out they knew something I didnt. For presently all twenty of Corregi-dor- s opened fire, and it made me sick to see that every one of their shells was bursting from 5,000 to 10,000 feet below that Jap formation. Those pilots were as safe as though they'd been home in bed. Later I found out what the Japs apparently already knew that the ft Rocks guns didnt have the range. And only then did it begin to dawn on me how completely impotent we were. e, x. anti-aircra- Diplomacy What is the difference between a woman and a diplomat?

So we picked up from the gutters and streets a lot of cans of food we knew we would need they were from the bombed warehouses stacked them in the boat, and set out. I was back there a couple of days later after the fires were out, g said Ensign Cox, a -haired youngster from New York. They were burying the dead which consisted of collecting heads and arms and legs and putting them into the nearest bomb crater and shoveling debris over it. The smell was terrible. The Filipino yard workers didnt have much stomach for the Job, but it had to be done and done quick because of disease. To make them work, they filled the Filipinos up with grain alcohol. That raid gave me my first big shock of the war, said Lieutenant Kelly, but it wasnt the damage they did. From over in Mariveles I couldnt see what was happening after the Jap bombers disappeared over the mountain. I got my shock after they had unloaded and flew over us on their way home the same beautiful tight formations not a straggler. Where was our air force? From over towards Cavite we could now see that huge column of smoke rising into the sky a- - the Japs left the scene. But it wasnt until Lieutenant dropped in at four oclock in the 41 boat that I knew how bad off we were. He said the Cavite base was a roaring blast furnace the yard littered with those mangled and scorched bodies and furthermore that all our spare parts for the MTB's engines and everything had been blasted to bits. Machine shops completely gone. Not so much as a gasket left to see us through this war, with the factory halfway around the world. Also he said the Cavite radio had been hit. That still left the short-wavvoice stuff to talk with Manila or Bataan or the Rock, but of course this couldnt be secret from the Japs, so they would be depending on our six boats for courier duty to relay all confidential stuff. So I wasnt surprised, said when early the next Bulkeley, morning I got a hurry call to report to the Admiral in Manila. As our 34 boat cleared the mine fields around Bataan, looking over toward yellow- good-lookin- up-sta- te De-Lo- e ng When the Japs cleared out, continued Bulkeley, Kelly and I headed for Manila and docked about three oclock. When we reported. Commander Slocum told me the Admiral was considering sending our three boats on a raid off Lingayen, and were we ready? We said we were rarin to go. So he said to stick around a couple of hours, and meanwhile to load the boats with files, records, and so forth, because they were moving headquarters. It had escaped so far, but right here on the water front it was too vulnerable sure to get smacked. Through the open door we could see the Admiral conferring with his chief of staff. But just then, said Kelly, "Commander Slocum looked down at my arm, which was in a sling, frowned, and said I should get over to see the fleet doctor. The doctor took off the bandage and began to talk tough. Said he couldnt do anything, and that I was to get that arm to a hospital as fast as I could. 1 was dead set on that raid, but I decided it wouldnt be tactful to bring that up, so I said, 'Aye, aye, sir, and skipped it. We loaded the boat with records, and then went back to headquarters, where we were told that the Jap convoy off Lingayen included eight transports and at least two battleships (one of these must have been the one that Colin Kelly later got), but that we werent going to be sent. They were saving us for bigger things. My God! my junior officer said later, I didnt know they came any biggerl What do they think we are? Anyway the Admiral patted Bulkeley on the shoulder and said, We know you boys want to get in there and fight, but theres no sense sending you on suicidal missions just now. So that was that, and we went on out across the bay, to our thatched village. You might call the next few days quiet for us, although my arm began giving me hell. Presently Bulkeley dropped in on us in the 41 boat, bringing us some stuff issued by the navy to replace everything we'd lost at our quarters in Cavite a shirt each, underdrawers, a few tubes of toothpaste, and razors two for each boat, one for the men and one for the officers. But with each razor there were only three packages of blades, so we saw beards in the offing. Bulkeley had heard about my hand from a pharmacists mate and asked me if I could stick it for two more days until he could relieve me. He himself had to be on call for consultation with the Admiral, while they needed DeLong and his boat for courier duty. I said sure. But the next few days were hell. The whole arm began swelling, and my hand was the size of a catchers mitt. The nights were worse because I couldnt lie down for any length of time. Also I had to keep my arm held up, or blood running down into it would drive me nuts, and it stiffened that way. The doctor at Mariveles kept offering me morphine, but I didnt dare. There might be an emergency where wed have to get the boats out to sea quickly. Bulkeley had left me in charge, and morphine might make me sleep so hard d I couldnt waken for an alarm. The worst thing was the flies they kept buzzing around trying to get into that open incision in my finger as I held my hand up in the air. And also I was running a little fever about four degrees. air-rai- (TO BE COXTIMEU) Ancient Refineries Petroleum refineries built more than 2,000 years ago are still operated by natives in Irak. reo woken no surra rcsu ot mim K ywu suffer from hot flashes, (llxni-uea- s, dietrees of 'lrragularitlas', art wank, nervous.
