Decisive Battle
Three yea'rf befdre, Gen. Douglas
MacArthur had left Luzon in a small
torpedo boat In the dead of night,
with the Japanese breaking thalast
shred of U. S. resistance in(^ the
Philippines.
But he returned in a brilliant
comeback, puffing hard on his corn
cob pipe at the rail of an American
warship, one of 800 vessels in a 70-
mile^fong convoy which poured thou-
sands of troops and tons of supplies
on the sandy beabhes of Lingayen
gulf in noriheasiern Luzon, 120
miles from Manila.
Coming shortly after the U. S.
conquest of Leyte island to tKe
southeast. General MacArthur's
latest invasion was'a bold stroke,
setting the stage for the decisive
battle of the Philippines, Japan's
last,great defensive bastion before
the Asiatic mainland, a battle in
,'which the enemy was expected to
commit 200,000 troops.
Fleet Aids
r" Preceding the Yanks' landings,
U, S. warships subjected the cres-
cent-shaped Lingayen beaph to a
murderous three-day barrage,"anST
mine sweepers ploughed in to brush
away surface obstructions.
Lack of heavy enemy resistance
to the landings, and the absence of
any formidable beach defenses, in-
die gied_thatjthe_ Japanese command
resolved to reserve its forces for
concentrated onslaughts inland in-
stead of spreading them along the'
shores.
Heavily reduced by previous sus-
tained U. S. army and navy air
force raids, a pared Japanese aerial
fleet offered desperate resistance
to the spearhead of the huge Ameri-
can convoy steaming toward Ling-
ayen? with preliminary repprts-in-
dicating 79 enemy planes shot down
by fighters and anti-aircraft fire.
MANPOWER:
Act on Shortage
Its efforts to solve the nation's
Critical manpower problem brought'
to a head by the President's appeal
for a national, labored raft in his 12th
annual message to
congress, the gov-
ernment moved
■wiftly to channel
workers into essen-
tial war plants and
provide additional
men for the serv-
ices.
. .Although asking
for a national labor
draft to " . . . as-
sure that we have
the right number
of workers in the right places at the
right times. . . ." the President spe-
cifically recommended action to-
route 4,000,000 4-Fs into war work
and induct nurses into the services.
Although generally opposed to a
national service act, but at the
same time anxious to solve the man-
power problem by less drastic
•means, congress considered legisla-
tion to compel 4-Fs to go into
essential work or face induction into
labor battalions without service-
men's benefits. With 20,000 nurses
needed now and recruitment drives
paving failed to enlist sufficient
numbers, the lawmakers also re-
luctantly backed the drafting of
nurses.
While congressional machinery
ground into action, selective service

pecting that smaller war expendi-
ture will result in decreased tax

porations and bring revenues

j AGGRESSORS:
Future Treatment
Postwar treatment of Germany,
and Japan will be complicated by'
the important part these nations
have played in the peacetime econ-
omy of their respective regions, dis-
cussions of experts indicate.
Once called to attention by Secre-
tary of War Stimson at the time
Secretary of the Treasury, Morgen-
thau proposed the deindustrialization
of the reich, Germany's industrial
importance' to "Europe was reempha-
sized by Eugene P. Thomas, presi-
dent of the National Foreigij Trade
council, who said that the country's
productive machine should be used
toward the rehabilitation of her
1 neighbors as reparations.
J Pointing out that as the industrial
| hub of Asia Japan supplied much
| of the region's goods, Chinese repre-
| sentatives . at a conference on Far
j Eastern affairs 'at Hot Springs, Va.,
| stated that continued existence of the
! enemy's productive capacity might
[be necessary to help restore peace-
time economy. ^

As the Allies delivered their trip-
hammer blows against them, the
Germans, who frequently counter-
attacked to relieve pressure on their
lines, were looked upon to withdraw
to a new defense arc around St.
; Vith, but four miles from the Ger-
man border.
Reacting quickly to the Germans'
diversionary thrust in Alsace, the

strong Geffpan armored forces

Budapest, and the Reds tended to
offset this heavy pressure by push-

mile above you, you can't tell where
it's headed. It could strike anywhere
within a mile on any side of you.
That's the reason it spreads its ter-
ror so wide.
" ' But our pilots have to hand it to
the Germans on the ground. They
have steeled themselves to stand by
their guns and keep shooting. Pilots
say the Italiansr-would shoot—until
the bombs were almost upon them,
then dive for their foxholes, and
then come out and start shooting
again after the bombs had exploded.
But not the Germans—they stick, to
their guns.
Maj. Ed Blaijd, a squadron lead-
er, was telling me about coming
suddenly over a hilltop one day and
finding a German truck right in his
gunsights.
Now it's' the natural human im-
pulse, when you see a plane cojne
upon you, to dive for the ditch.
But the German gunner in this
truck swung a gun around and
started shooting at Bland. German
and American tracer bullets were
streaming back and forth in - the
same groove in opposite directions,
almost hitting each other. The Ger-
man never stopped firing until
Bland's six machine guns suddenly
chewed the truck into complete dis-
integration.
Our dive bombers don't have
much trouble with German fighters.
The reasons are several. For one
thing, the Luftwaffe is weak over
here now. For another, the dive
bombers' job is to work on the in-
j fantry front lines, so they seldom
get back where the German fight-
ers are. And for another, the In-
vader is $uch a good fighter itself
that the Jerries aren't too anxious
to tangle with it.
Flying Allotment. """
For several months the posting
p?rjisd back to America was set
at a certain number of missions.
Then it was suddenly upped by
more than a score.- There were
pilots here who were • within one
mission of going home when the or-
der came. So they had to stay and
fly a few more-months. Some f
them never lived to finish the new
allotment '
" • • - • •
Nowhere in our fighting forces
is cooperation closer or friend-
ship greater than between
Americans and British in the
air. 1 have yet to bear an
American pilot make a dis-
paraging remark about a Brit-
ish flier. Our pilots say the Brit-
ish are cooler under fire than
we are.
They like to listen in on their ra-
dios as the RAF pilots talk to each
.other. For example." one day they
heard one, pilot call to another:
"i say, old chap, there is a Jerry
on your tail:" ' - ~
To which the imperiled pilot re-
plied:
"Quite so, quite &o..^thanks very
much old man."
And another tinje, one of our In-
vaders gotHshot up over the target.

altitude. He made flo?"Tfie coast all
alone, easy meat for any German
fighter that might^come along. He
was Just barely staying in the air,
and he was a ^pd and lonely boy
indeed.
Then suddenly he heard over his
earphones a distinctly British voice
saying: . ^
-"'Cheer up, chicken, we have
you."
He looked around and two Spit-
fires, one on either side, were
mothering him back to his home
field. ~
Platoon Leaders.
Buck Ever'sole is a platoon ser-
geant in an infantry company; That
means he has charge of about 40
frontline jighting men.
He has been at the front for more
than a year. War is old ,to him and
he has become almost the master of
it. He is a senior partner now io
the Institution of death.
— His -piatoen.has turned over many
times as battle whittles down the
old ones and theJ replacement sys-
tem brings up the new ones. Only
-a-.handful now are veterans.
"It gets so it kinda gets you, seem'
these new kids come up," Buck told
me one night in his slow, barely
audible Western voice, so full of
honesty and sincerity.
"Some of them have Just got '
fuzz on their faces, and don't<
know what it's all about, and
they're scared to death. No mal^
ter what, some of them are
bound t9 get killed."
We talked about some of the other
old-time non-coms who could take
battle themselves, but had gradual-
ly grown morose under the responsi-
bility of leadihg. green boys to. their
-slaughter. Buck" spoke of one ser-
geant especially, a brave and
liardened man, who went to his cap-
tain and asked him to be reduced
tea, private in the lines.
"I know it ain't my fault that
they get killed," Buck finally said.
"And I do the best I can for them,
but I've got so I feaJ like it's me
killin' 'em instead of a German. I've
got so I feel like a ntuvderer. I hate
to look at them when the new one/
come in."

He replied: "Yes, of course, 14

plied: "And you are a German"
. . . The citizen said: "How did._
you know?" . . . The soldier
replied: "1 know because I've
killed a lot of them the last two
months in Italy.and I'm on my

citizen of German ancestry
looked at the uniform of the sol-
dier and saw on it a Presidential
citation, the Purple Heart and a
few other campaign ribbons.

self, he said: "Boy, was 1 em-

Ernest Hemingway went to Chi
cago years ago after working in
Kansas City. He hadjived in Oak
Park, 111., and was an old school-
mate of Ted Tod's, now working for
Warners' . . . At the time, Tod was
working for the Chicago Herald-Ex-
aminer as a reporter, and Heming-
way hoped Tod would try to get him
j srjob on the paper . . . Tod went in
the ether. They kept throwing gr7 to Frank Garson' the city
nades over the house at each
other without success. Finally Buck
stepped around one corner, of the
house and came face to face with the
German-, who'd had the sarr^ide^).
Buck was ready and gulled the
trigger first. His slug hit the Ger-
man just above the heart. The Ger-
man had a wynderful pair of binocu-,
lars slung oyeT-his shoulders,, and
the bullet smashed' them to bits.
Buck had wanted some Germax>
binoculars for a long time.
The ties that grow up between
men who live savagely and die re-
lentlessly together are ties of great
strength. There is a sense of fideli-
ty to each other among little corps
of men who have endured so long
and' whose hope in the end can be
but so small. —
One afternoon while I was with
.the company Sgt. Buck Eversole's
turn came to go back to rest camp
for five days. The company was due
to attack that night.
Buck Wgpt to his company com-
m^der^and said, ''Lieutenant, I
don't think I better go. I'll stay if
jMWiwed me."
The lieutenant said, "Of course 1
need you, ^Uck, I always need you.
But it's your turn and I want you
to go. In fact, you're ordered to gq."
The truck taking the few boys
away to rest camp.|eft just at dusk.
It was drizzling and the valleys
were Jfwathed in a dismal mist Ar-
tillery of both sides flashed and
rumbled around the horizon." The
encroaching darkn *a—wa# heavy~
and foreboding.
Rest Not Welcomed by Sergeant
Buck came to the little group of
old-timers in the company with
whom 1 was standing, to say good-
bye. You'd have thought tie was
leaving forever. He shook hands all
around, and his smile seemed sick
and vulnerable. He was a man stall-
ing off his departure.
He said, "Well, good iuck to
you all" And then he said, "I'll
b« back la Just Ave days." He said
around
and
slowly
goodbye all
started away.
I walked wUh Mm. toward the
truck in the dusk. He kept his eyes
on the ground, and I think he would
have cried if he knew how, and he
said to me very quietly:
"This is the first battle I've ever
missed that this battalion has been
in. Even when 1 was in the boa
pital they were in bivouac.
T-editoJtv-. He told-him all about Hem-
ingway—what a good writer he was
. . . He said: "He hasn'4, worked in
Chicago, but he knows it, knows
names, etc." . . Carson looked up
and ho-humrri'd: "Does he knoto any
Chicago coppers?" . . . "No," sai^
Tod . . "Well, I don't care how
good a writer he is," replied Carson.
"Our reporters have to know the
Chicago coppers" ... So Heming-
way didn't get the job. Instead he
went to Canada—worked on a To-
ronto paper and from there started
his climb. >
If it hadn't been for his not know-
ing any Chicago*p&licemen, Heming-
way might still be working ofi the
Chicago pdfcer.
All this talk of what to do
with Germany—and, of course,
It la more than talk, It Is a
grave, great problem—reminds
me of this tale . . . An apostle
of. conciliation once asked the
late Georges Ocmenceau If his
hatred of the Germans was
based on knowjedge. "Have you
ever been to Germany?" he In-
quired.
"No, Monsieur," replied the
Tiger, "I have not been to Gere.,
many. But twice in my lifetime
. the Germans have been to
France." \

It happened at an army training
