Press to APP soldier who spent
the last few days pitching hand
grenades into advance pockets of
Japanese troops and following them
up with bare steel explained the
virtues of the bayonet to me today
My old man always said bayonet
was no good except for opening
tins, and he stent all through the
last war" this hard-bitten Australian
said. He should have been with US
and seen how good 1t was. We got
into them good and proper and I
can't say remember much about it.
except that 1t made me feel pretty
good reckon that was the way
with the rest of the company by the
way my pals were yelling all the
time"
The bitter action has been taking
place about 100 miles or more north
Of the vital naval base Of Singapore.
Every soldier has a story to tell.
Last night I spoke to a wounded
driver, moving toward the back lines
with his arm in a sling. He told me
he had been with forward troops
during heavy action. and low-diving
planes bombed his truck, blowing it
OF the road and wounding his arm.
Wanted to Go Back.
Somehow, he got the truck back
to the bomb-blaste strip of road
and drove it back to quieter area.
where he found a recovery unit. The
unit went to work on the truck and
had it back in running order again
in a short time. The driver was
just about to climb aboard and 90
back into action when an ofiicer
ordered him to an ambulance
The wound was worse than he
thought, but he still wanted to get
oack into action I talked with the

Passage Of Bill to Bon
Liquor in MiIitory Areas
Is Urged at Meeting

Passage of the O'Daniel bill or
similar legislation to ban liquor and
vice in the vicinity of Army and
Navy establishments was urged last
night at a meeting of the United
Dry Forces of the District In
Foundry Methodist Church, Six
teenth and p streets NV.
The group passed resolution ask
ing the action because of what it
called "the Decentralization of our
armed forces due to drink and vice,
after hearing Senators Capper OF
Kansas and Brewster of Maine
speak in Defending Our De-
Tenders
Gas. Alcohol Wont Mix.
Even the liquor industry admits
that alcohol in the driver and gas
in the automobile do not mix" Sem
ator Capper said. I'm this me-
chanical war. where planes. tanks
and ships are Of primary import
ance, fitness is essential to operate
them"
Prohibition was in force in the
Army and Navy in the last war,
Senator Capper pointed out, and 1t
should be in effect in this one.
If Hitler wanted to assure a vic
tory. he could we'll begin by blocking
the passage of the O'Daniel bill.
the Kansas Senator said. Il am
sorrv that Senator O'Daniel failed
to get his bill Oh the floor OF the
Senate"
The Senate on Friday voted down
an attempt to have the bill acted on.
The o. P. NJ, which has told
distillers that go per cent of their
output will be required to make
alcohol for smokeless powder. should
have made the figure 100 per cent,
Senator Capper stated.
Opens Five-Month Drive.
Senator Brewster said that the
presence of liquor must now be
Justified, since everything must be
closely examined to see II 1t worthy
Of existence In war time.
Sale Of liquor at Pearl Harbor has
been forbidden since the outbreak Of
war, Senator Brewster declared,
which is an example OF how liquor
is viewed in an alert area.
Last months meeting opened .
five-month drive by the United Dry
Forces for . return Of prohibition.
The speakers were introduced by
the Rev. Thomas E. Boorde, presi-
dent of the United Dry Forces Of the
District and pastor Of the Anacostia
Baptist Church.
DR.. Boorde pointed out that the
Dry Forces were seeking q scientific
test for drunken driving cases and
suppression Of offensive liquor ad-
vertising.

from the Australian ambushing
party have rejoined their unit after
perilous trips back through enemy.

Among them was q company CON-
mander who had made the danger
Gus trip back together with his men.
He described the whole thing to-
day as - soldiers dream. His
party had blown up 4 bridge and
seen over 30 Japs 60 sky-hish with
the explosion.
A second later the Australians
were firing like demons into the
JSpanese column on the road. 1t
appears now that enemy tanks soon
got across the wrecked bridge by
filing the gaps with timber.
These tanks tore some miles
down the road and met the main
body of the Australians, but the
Australian ambush party kept fol-
lowing the tanks, fighting . running
fight all that night and the next
day.
At one stage whole Japanese
company opened fire on them as
they sneaked through 4 rubber plan
tation. The Australian captain or.
dered his men to drop to the ground
and not to return the murderous

Aussies Get Going Again.
Then. however, the Aussies got
going again and reached the river
near our lines in the dark. For q
while they rested in . golf house and
. few minutes later they had left
1t again to seek their way over the
river.
Our guns opened q terrific fire
destroying the golf house in the
f1rst few salvoes. Finally. the Aus.
sizes got back to their unit, where
they were given an enthusiastic
reception by their comrades, who
had almost given up hope Of seeins
them again.
The captain estimates that his
men killed 600 japanese soldiers
this before their tanks contacted
our main body. where many more
were wiped out.

RICKEY 'IN' AS
 NEW DODGER G.M. SAYS WILLIAMS
SpOrtswriter Insists Deal Has Been Made to PrO-
 tect Hickey, Jr.

New York. Oct. 23-(UP)--Joe Williams, sports columnist of the New York World Telegram, says in an exclusive story today that Branch Rickey is the new general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, succeeding It. Col. Larry MacPhail.
 Formal announcement to this ef- feet can be expected at any time, today, next week." Williams says. "In any event, it has been definitely decided"
 Hickey, general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, comes to the Brook lyn club on Q long-term contract at compromise terms, the details of which are unavailable yet, accord- ing to Williams, who states that George Weiss, secretary and vice. president of the Yankees. was Rick ey's only opposition for the job.
 Too Much Money
 His story continues: "Rickey was the first choice, the only formal choice to replace MacPhail. He was offered the job after the first game of the World Series in St. Louis, at which time he took it under consid- eration. Later he came here to pre- sent his terms. They proved to be too stiff. Presumably he demanded the same arrangement MaePhail had worked under, namely $50,000 flat salary and certain bonuses. A year ago this added up to $S5, 900 for MacPhail and made him the highest priced man in baseball, not exclud- ing Landis.
 Compromise
 "This was practically peacetime money and Hickey was finally per- suaded, or persuaded himself .. the latter being more likely .. that he come to Brooklyn for less. At 8 meeting this week compromise was effected, so he comes for less. The added fact that the Weiss boom was growing hotter and hotter may also have influenced him. There could have been another consideration: Branch Hickey, Jr., is head of the Brooklyn farm system. There Is no telling what might have happened to junior under new regime and fathers like to see their sons get Q full run"

WEST POINTERS. TO STAY AWAY
 FROM ANNAPOLIS
No Special Trains ; Tickets Not on Sale in Washing
 ton or Baltimore
BY nrERRrMAN SMITH

United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 Washington, Oct. 23 - (UP) - Thousands of Eastern football fans including probably the Secretaries of War and of the NAvy--were war casualties today by virtue of Presi- dent Roosevelt's order that only residents of Annapolis, Md, will be permitted to buy tickets to the Army Navy game there on Nov. 28.
 The White House announced the decision to move the gane from its traditional site at the Philadelphia Municipal Stadium, capacity 102,000 to U. s. Naval Academy Stadium at Annapolis, capacity 23,000.
 Coupled with the announcement were specific orders from MT. Roos- evelt, himself, that tickets for the best crowd-attracter of the regular football season "be issued only to residents of Annapolis-no to out siders" in order to conserve tires and rubber.
 The president also directed that every precaution be taken to pre- vent persons living outside of An- napolis-in Washington or Balti- more or cher nearby places-from securing tickets of admission to the game"
 "Big Shots" Barred?
 Judging from these tight restric- tions, even Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox and Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson will not be able to get tickets for the game.
 Two reasons were given by the White House announcement for the unusual ticket arrangements: No railroad facilities afford means of transportation to Annapolis on reg ularly operated lines" and there is compelling need to save gasoline and rubber
 Tt is the presidents opinion" the White House said, that the exigencies of the war with their admitted needs for economy and sacrifice-at least until the war is won-can be served only by the im- position this year of these unusual limitations.
 "The fact that the game was scheduled before the war was de- clared and its cancellation at this late date undoubtedly would cause great disappointment throughout the armed forces, in and out of the United States, was discussed at length before the decision was reached to permit the holding of the game this year."
 Last Game?
 Thus, the announcement seemed to indicate that the game at An- napolis might be the last Army Navy football contest for the dura- tion, although similar arrange ments might be made in another season if regular football sched- ules are maintained next fall.
 The game at Annapolis probably will contrast sharply with the usual games in Philadelphia. The Cadet Corps from West Point will be absent, as will be the Cadet band. MT. Roosevelt ordered that the only people who should make i the trip from West Point were the players "and such other officials whose presence is needed for the actual playing of the game"
 Instead of the 59 special trains that hauled the crowd to Philadel- phia last fall, there may be two or three coaches or busloads of Army players.

Clemson Best, 18-6

Columbia, S. C., Oct. 23-(UP)- The Clemson Tigers walloped their traditional rivals, the University of South Carolina, lS-6, in the an- nual Palmetto state gridiron classic yesterday.
 The gamecocks scored first when Ken Roskie plunged through the center of Clemson's line for touchdown in the second period but Sossaman failed to convert.
 Clemson tied the score soon after on a pass from Butler to Clark, after a drive featured by an intri- cate forward lateral pass play that netted the Tigers 36 yards. Sweatte's try for the extra point was blocked and the score at half time stood at 6-6.
 Butler passed the Gamecocks dizzy in the third period and the Tigers scored again when Stacy snagged one of his aerials for a touchdown.
 Clemson clinched the game in the opening minutes of the final period when streaked 4 yards to cross the Carolina goal.
