DULUTH, MINI, April 9.-With

as the Moros and Igorots who live
in the more primitive parts Of the
Philippine Islands, 1t. Edward w.
Bergstrom Of Duluth, Navy
bomber pilot just returned from the
South Pacific. recounted this story
yesterday Of the type of opposition
the japanese are running into:
When the first Jap landing party
broke into Lingayen Gulf, the in
vaders were repulsed with heavy
losses by American forces, but some
Japanese were able to make shore
and escape into the nearby jungles
where welding Igorots live.
Three days later the Army was
surprised to see the Igorots come
marching single file out of the will
derness, spear over each shoulder
and a Japanese head on each spear.
The entire Jap landing party had
been beheaded.

Japans potential weakness is

drive. Japan's potential weakness is
the long length OF its communica-
tions line. II Manila Bay could be
used as a way base for this line. the
japanese would be able to strengthen
their weakest point.
Furthermore, so long as Corregidor
stands, Japanese face the threat
that superior American fleet action
will recover Manila.
The planning for Corregidor is
said to have prepared the fortress
with an adequate water supply for
a long siege. Water failure con-
tributed to the fall of two other Is
lands important in the Asiatic war
since December 7, Hong Kong and
Singapore.
Battan has been the strong point
of encouragement for all the United
Nations during the grim months
when Singapore, Java and Rangoon
were falling. Battan held the Allies
civilian and military morale when
there was nothing else to hold 1t up.
Bataan fashioned the greatest
military reputation of this war-ths
reputation of Gen. Macarthur. He
went to the Philippines In 1885 to

veteran soldier who had accom-
plished great things. Now. MacAr-
thur is the commander in chief of

Dawn in the Orient today lighted
the close of saga Of American her
oism that will inspire our descend
ants with pride in the American
spirit for centuries to come. Bataan
and its foxholes now belong to the
japanese.
The defense of Bataan. . small
peninsula of jungle-covered noun
tains, began on January 8 under the
command OF Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur. This little piece Of land re-
manned a sharp thorn In the jap
anese side for 96 glorious days.
The American-Filipino operations
contributed much to the dislocation
of general Japanese strategy, but
the name Bataan has come to mean
much In the chronicles Of affairs far
wider than simple military matters.
After the defense Of Bataan now
comes the defense Of Corregidor, the
island fortress at the entrance to
Manila Bay. Here the Allies can
continue for an indefinite period to
thwart the japanese In their hopes
of full use of the Philippines. So
long as Corregidor stands, Japan will
be unable to base any naval forces
on Manila. 1t. Gen. Jonathan M.

SALEM, Oreg., April 9.-Julius
Peter Paulson, 29-year- -old former
South Dakota farmer who came west
to seek his fortune, was doing all
right until he tried to pay part of a
mortgage on 80 chickens.
Now, despite a six-month legal
fight in which he was aided by Port
land clubwomen who offered to pay
off the $100 mortgage, got him
lawyer and posted $500 bail, Mr..
Paulson faces extradition and trial
for selling mortgaged property.
The Oregon State Supreme Court
has held that extradition pro-
ceedings against Mr.. Paulson, who
has a wife and threessmall children,
were proper and placed him on the
mercy Of Dakota authorities.
He now works at Portland ship
yard, but last September things were
not going so well on his farm near
Elk Point, 8. OAK, and Mr.. Paulson
mortgaged his poultry to a Beres-
ford, S. Oak, bank for 500. When
the money failed to better his cir
cumstances he decided to take his
family to the Pacific Coast, so he
sold what he says he believed were
his possessions
Soon after his arrival he obtained
a job in a wood working plant and
saved enough to forward a payment
on the South Dakota mortgage. In
stead Of a receipt for the payment
he was shown q warrant for his ar
rest and taken into custody.
Circuit Judge James w. Crawford

corpus, and Herbert B. Galton, at

PORT MORESBY, New Guinea
April 9.-Only one Australian off,
Ger and three privates were at Sala-
maua, on the north coast Of New
Guinea, when it was attacked by a
large japanese force on the morning
of February 8, but this tiny garrison
put up a valiant defense and blew
up the airport under the very noses
of the invaders.
The officer and his three men
played hide and seek with the Japa-
nese for some time, shooting one
high Japanese ofncer from point
blank range of less than yards,
and lodging and confusing them
until they were able to reach the
plunger which set of the explosives
planted in the airport. Frequently
the officer and his men were within
a few PAGES of the invaders, shooting
at them from different points and
giving the Japs the impression that
they were a much larger force.
Capt A. G. Cameron of Mel
bourne was the officer. He arrived
at Salamaua after fighting against
the Japs in the Malaga campaign.
After three previous contacts
with the enemy" he said, 81 had no
doubt about retaining whole skin
even at such close range. II our
soldiers show determination, it is
inevitable that large numbers of
Japanese can be killed with no
great losses to ourselves"

OTTAWA, April 9.-Hunters and
trappers of Canada's Far West, rough
and ready men who handle a gun
as easily as most use a toothbrush,
are being organized into small guer-
rilla formations which will function
as welcoming committees for any in
vading Japs.
About 40 such guerrilla units
already have been organized and
as many as $50 may be formed, said
an announcement by Defense Min
lister J. l.. Ralston.

the laborers now are unemployed
since the firm couldn't afford to
keep them on payroll while the plant
was shut down waiting for the
Government to decide what 1t
wanted done. Many key men have
left seeking jobs elsewhere and our
field crews have been almost hope
lessly disorganized.~
I'VE have employed many men
for many years" he wrote. but
never before have we been placed
In the position OF treating our EN- :
ployes as we have been forced to
do in connection with this work, and
we hope never again will we be in
such a position"
One man wrote he did not blame
any individual Government agency
for the condition. but was only ask
ing that the Government recog-
nize that business is not as usual
and that II they want industry to
operate on an all-out basis they
must do likewise"

out, supplied the Government with
nearly $1,000 houses in l94l. De-
spite this, and the added fact that
their plans we're approved by Mr..

men, specifications still are being
changed. Some changes are neces-
STATED by newly arising shortages
of critical" materials.
Mr.. Williams first was brought
into the housing picture by MI
Palmer on a consulting basis. He
had made an independent study of
the possibilities of prefabrication
and sold the Federal Works Agency
on the idea After the Pearl Har-
Dor attack. Mr.. Palmer placed Mr..
williams at the head of q commit
tee OF experts to make a quick,
though comprehensive, survey of
prefabrication factories.
Trhe study, completed the first of
the year, showed some ~ 500 houses
could be erected In 80 days after
proceed orders. 1t revealed a huge
number Of available sites in defense
areas completely served with utili-
ties. A few days later Mr.. Williams
said he received a virtual presi-
dental mandate through Mr.. Palmer
and he he accepted the job as spe-
cial assistant
Shortly afterward Mr.. Newman
began buying the approximately
5000 demountables on letters of
intent" with the $153 3,0O0, 900 made
available by President Roosevelt.
Although it was his job, Mr.. Will
liams said, to expedite the program,
he was more or less divorced from
it. He said Mr.. Newman never con-
suited his survey which had initiated

ing field He warned the other de-
tenders who were hopelessly out
numbered to leave the town which
was being invaded at three points.
Then, with three men, he decided
to wait until the enemy reached the
airport before he blew it up. One
group of 80 Japs came within 20
yards of his tiny party before he saw
them. They were dressed in black,
dark green or blue suits and wore
rubber -soled shoes. One OF the
privates with Capt Cameron ap-
preached the Japs, saw one of their
officers, dived into a drain and shot
him at less than S yards range.
The private then escaped in the
high grass.
The other two ran behind a house
where the plunger connected with
the dynamite planted around the
flying field was located. The Jsps
occupied the house and then sur
rounded it. Capt. Cameron broke
through their lines, reached the two
men at the plunger and, with the
Japs only a few yards away. fired
the explosives.
Then followed a dramatic battle,
with Capt. Cameron and his men
lodging from point to point. taking
cover in houses, garbage dumps and
shrubbery, firing as they went and
probably, killing some of the enemy.
The Japs opened up with everything
they had-rifles, tommy guns and
