marched onto the beaches with hands raised, as If in surrender, and then flung last grenade at those who would take him prisoner. He approached the beaches swim ming behind logs; slipped through sentry lines disguised in the uni- form of slain Marines, or called out commands in English to spread con- fusion.
 He crawled out from under rocks and limestone caves: slid out of tree tops; rlested in jungle underbrush and came dropping down steep cliffs like vermin. Knives, rifles, grenades and pistols flashed and thudded and groans filled the day and night as the Raiers sought to stamp him out. And this they finally did.
 It was best summed up by a sailor, Bernard Riley, electricians mate, who by chance witnessed their work. Riley said:
 "Those Raiders didn't seem to give a damn whether they lived or died, so long as they died shooting Japs!"
 How did the Raiders get that way?
 As short a period of time as last fall these grim-faced fighters were fuzzy faced boys-the high school gridiron heroes and the youth who delivered your groceries: the good- looking boy at the corner gas sta- tion-you know, the one with the wide grin; the smart cracking soda jerker at the Main street drug store and the kid who whistled at s a. m. as he swung up the hill to the coal pits or hurried down to the shoe factory on the river. Just kids who hated algebra and geometry and loved baseball and football, jitter- bugs who ate double pc gan sundaes, worshipped Gene Autry, and name band leaders; read comic books and had just started shaving for dates.
 Remember?
 You remember when they left for Paris Island, South Carolina - some of them taking a train for the first time. Then their pictures be- gan to appear in the local paper as they graduated from "boot camp and became "full-fledged Marines. Pretty soon they were writing from New River, N. C., and then theii letters came from somewhere ir the South Pacific" They were or, the coral beaches of the southern most Jap-free Solomons, in New Zealand, New Caledonia and Samoa
 What he was doing was closely guarded secret, but bit by bit the Navy Department has permitted the picture of the Raider to be revealed To Legin with the Raiders are Marines, which has become synonym for toughness. And the Raiders are the cream of the Ma rine Corps, skinned off from a flood of volunteers who were al- ready adept at close-range fighting and schooled In amphibious war fare.
 The Marine is a combination of both soldier and sailor. The Raider is these and something more. To their equipment for battle they added the tactics of the Comache and the western outlaw the street gamin and the gangster, the guerilla methods of the Chinese hillmen and the innovations of the Spanish Reds.
 They practiced landings under live machine-eun fire, ripped uni forms and flesh to the bone crawl

 No one disputes that alaim these days-and least of all the Japanese The verse is from the proud boast of "Carlson's Raiders the men of the United States Marine Corps, who "knifed" into the Japanese lines of communications on Maxim Island and the Solomons.
 Whirling out of the South Pacific like typhoon and equally as dew astating the Raiders tommy gunned, bayonetted, knifed, hacked

a view 10 strengthening the de-

rushing plans for construction OF
a pioneer road linking Mexico with

The State Department disclosed
that arrangements have been CON

dor. Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa

OF the emergency highway at the
expense of the American govern
ment.
The new road will he approx
mately 625 miles long, and will
link about 900 miles of highway
already constructed in Central
America and Panama.
Necessary surveying IS already
under way, and construction work
VIII shortly be started -0Hee-the
road has been completed. 1t Will
link the continental United States
with the Canal Zone by a wholly
overland transportation system and
will facilitate the quick transport
of troops and military supplies
should an emergency develop in
the Canal area.
In addition to Strengthening the
defense system Of the Canal Zone
the new road will alleviate in some
degree the transportation Difficult
ties of the Central American re-
publics. These countries normally
depend in large measure upon water
transportation and the shipping
shortage has had a serious effect
on their internal economy.
