YANKs IN ACTION

Our war in the Pacific is only month and
half DID, but it has already added many tales of
American bravery heroism, resourcefulness and
age to the military annals of the nation
yesterday President Roosevelt made the welcome
disclosure to our allies in the Far East that the
"Yanks are coming" Already, the Japanese invaders
have had a sample of what the handful of "Yanksg
already hand in the Orient accomplish e
Outstanding, of course, is the record of some
G000 American and $4,000 Filipino soldiers under
Gen Douglas Macarthur in the Philippines, not only
holding their but actually driving back some
100000 japanese in sectors of the islands.
But tales of individual heroism less
striking. Out of the first burst of warfarethe sur
prise invasion OF Pearl Harbor December 7-came
the account of Lieut. George R Bickell whose plane
was shot down by the Japanese attackers. Lieut.
Bickel swan safely ashore, climbed into another
plane and renewed his counter attack against the
invaders Mrs. Margaret Bckel. his wife, of
the first evacuees from Hawaii to reach the United
States. eye witness to the incident.
When we record deeds of daring, must not
overlook the valiant of u S. submarines, who
have piloted their submarine craft into the very
teeth Of the enemy to sink five ships in Tokyo Bay.
Look at your map and note that both Tokyo and
Yokohama the two most powerful Nippon strong
holds located this piece of water and you
will fully appreciate the feat
Two days ago, the Navy Department wrote a
new name on its rolls of heroes and added one
more ship the Japanese losses in the Philippines.
The name that of Lieut.. John Buckley 80, of
Long Island, New York who rocketed his swift
motored torpedo boat into the enemy held Bay of
Binang and torpedoed a 5000-ton Jap vessel despite
storm of violent fire. Thus Buckley and his crew
of eight seamen introduced the Navy's PIT
boat into the Pacific in spectacular fashion.
And it goes. These but few outstand-
ing and scattered incidents-bits of heroism from
our viewpoint and violent headaches for the
japanese
With A.EF either landed in the Far East
battle now their way there, the slant
eyed invaders have many headaches in store
for them. We predict the war lords will add
generous rations of aspern to the quotas of whskey
already being issued to Japanese siege troops.

LANCER is unfit to sit in the SEN
ate. But there are enough doubt
full Senators to make the outcome
of the contest uncertain if it is
decided that two-thirds vote is
necessary to unseat him.
Actually, Langer's fate will be
decided by majority vote, be-
cause the Senate's stand on which
rule applies will be decided by
such count.
LANCER contends that since he
was seated when he presented his
credentials last year, it requires a
two-thirds ballot to GUST him. The
opposition denies this, pointing out
that he was seated without preju-
dice 1t is contended this means
that the Senate expressly left open
the door for future consideration
of his eligibility and that his sta
tus, therefore, is the same as a
newcomer seeking admittance to
the chamber.
This argument will be settled by
the Senate by majority vote, Sc
that this vote, in effect, actually
will determine whether LANCER is
allowed to remain in the Senate or
is sent packing

FRIDAY. JANUARY %

FRIDAY, JANOAft1 ID
This should be a fairly favorable
day for routine work of every sort,
but initiative may not be lucky
The aspects are of i'll omen to
countries under Nazi control.
HEART AND HOME: This is a
date promising to young folk and
fortunate for Inequalities. Cook
ing and the preservation of foods
should engage the attention OF
housekeepers who study diet lists
where many vitamins may be
sought in inexpensive menus. In
crease in the cost of living will be
evident as budgets are studied. New
fashions in simple living will be
started with New York and WASH
ington setting novel modes for
dress and entertaining. Uniforms
for women will multiply, but clever
girls will be careful to wear dainty
feminine attire when they are not
on duty in defense work or in Of
fees of shop or factory.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Changes
in personnel may be troublesome
in many lines of business and in
dustry. Employment for all who are
we'll trained and even for novitiates
in the trades will cause general
good feeling, Prosperity will mark
the closing weeks of winter al
though there will be many shifts
in shops and factories where wo-
men will begin to replace men in
large numbers Hotels and reStaur-
ants will profit. but there will be
depression among dealers in auto
mobiles, while factories turn out
tanks by the hundred.
NATIONAL ISSUES; The proc
lem of equalizing the burdens of
war will be discussed by statesmen.
While certain men profit through
the defense program others will
suffer injustice through their sac
rifices necessary in mobilization
for war training. Women also will
feel the difference in their duties
or their services. Some will gain
much while others will lose a great
deal Cheerful adjustments must be
made and these spell real patrio-
tiSm.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS S,
Necessary secrecy regarding much
of the peoples business in Wash
ington will arouse criticism. A trend
toward initiation will disturb finan-
ciers. Preparation for move of
greatest potential results will be
pushed rapidly and a surprise in
the form of sudden aggressiveness
is forecast. Our troops are to cross
many seas and to prove their
splendid quality. Portents of great
achievements and also serious frus-
trations are discerned by astrolo-
gers.
Persons whose birthdate it is

Invention Licenses
Urged by Kaiser 10
Speed War Output
ShipbuiIder Proposes
New Agency With Power
To Compel Compliance
By the Associated Press

| By the Associated Press.
Henry j. Kaiser recommended to-
day creation OF an independent Fed
eral agency to license all new inven-
tons and distribute their benefits
among all industry to speed war pro-
duction. -
+ II am in. favor Of compulsory
licensing of all new inventions and
developments without compensation
for the duration of the war;" the
West Coast shipbuilder informed a
Senate Military Affairs Subcommit-
tee studying chronological mobiliza-
ton.
He said he believed his position
might be considered revolutionary,
but Il believe that industry will
eventually be more productive if
patents are distributed among those
in industry" with postwar COM
pensation going to individual in
ventors rather than groups and
trusts"
Predicts War against Chaos"
The emphasis on more and more
production" should be continued
when peace comes, Mr.. Kaiser de-
clared. I'VE are at war now against
the Axis, but we will confront a war
t against chaos after 1t is over"
Mr.. Kaiser declared his own in
terests made their scientific develop
Aents available to other builders and
at the same time benefited from the
/ advice of others.
Meanwhile, q suggestion that some
outstanding American, like Britains
Ernest Bevin, be drafted to handle
Americas manpower problem was
before a Senate labor subcommittee
today as 1t continued hearings on
proposal to centralize- war procure
ment, production and manpower
'ynder one director.
Daniel Tobin, president Of the
International Brotherhood of Team
sters a. Chauf1eurs, told the COM
mittee yesterday that Labor Min
ister Bevin had full authority in
England to handle the distribution
Of manpower. He said Mr.. Bevin,
whom he visited in England, had
been successful at his task.
Chairman Pepper called Frederick
w. Conant, vice president of the
Douglas Aircraft Co., as the first
witness to testify at a closed session
on production experience and needs
in war industry. Proponents Of a

have expressed an intention of COM
pleting the hearings by December I.

Knox
Continued From First paee

If the Japanese come back to the
Southeastern Solomons with
strong naval force, our forces would
again defeat them.
He replied. I'VE will defeat them
Il don't know when or in what
action"
Mr.. Knox said the enemy had
numerical superiority in the theater
Of action during the period of the
battle ended last week end, but the
American triumph had been won
In spite Of that.
Il cannot speak in too high praise
of the qualities displayed by the
Navy in this action.
"Nimitz. Halsey. Callaghan and
others not only met and drove from
the field . numerically superior
force, but. also, they employed the
most daring type Of action to &C.
complish that result" he said in
naming the admirals largely con-
cerned.

Admiral Chester w. Nimitz is

replied, lis that they will come back
and that is exactly what we are
making our plans for"
He said that as result of this
most recent battle it obviously would
be more difncult for the Japanese to
come back, but declined to say that
they might be greatly impeded by
their losses.
Asked why each side was investing
so heavily in the battle for control
OF the Southeastern Solomons, Mr..
Knox said the islands were obvious
ly OF flrst-class Importance to the
United States because they flank our
lines of communication and supply
with Australia and from them the
japanese could make direct attack
on those lines.
I'hey are important to the jap
anese, he continued, because they
could serve as a base for hammer
ing away at Australian supply lines.
In commenting on the construc-
ZION OF American warships as COM
pared with the enemys construction
program, Mr.. Knox said the speed
OF delivery OF our combatant ships
Is one of the most gratifying phases
OF the whole picture" and that the
process of converting large non
combatant ships into aircraft car
rlers was going along with graft
flying speed"
He was asked whether this country
would not be able to replace easily
and quickly its losses in the Solo,
mons battle OF two light cruisers and
SIX destroyers. In reply he simply
reminded the conference that on
Armistice Day the Federal Ship
building Co. yard at Kearny. N. j..
launched four destroyers.
Mr.. Knox called the Solomons bat
tie the greatest surface action of
this war to date" and said that while
it was apparently the greatest sur
face action since the engagement
between Britain and Germany at
Jutland in the North Sea during the
World War it was not greater than
Jutland.",
Marines on Guadalcanal will be
ultimately: relieved by fresh troops.
the Secretary said. but he did not
indicate when that could be done,
