About the Change in Time

TATE officials remain in quandary about whether
- to swing Michigan to daylight saving time
February with the rest of the country. They argue
that actually Michigan is daylight saving and
that to advance clocks hour would be to put us
sort Of three-star special daylight saving basis
If state clocks do advance hour next month it
would be wise for the Detroit board of education to

Macarthur, Fox Of Jungle.
Ou+smar+s Invading Japs
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. -
w General McArthur's losing
defense of the Philippines will
live forever as one Of the most
skillful strategic maneuvers of
history. There was nothing
defective in the Jap scheme of
attack. 1t was smart. One thing
wrong with IT was that Mac
Arthur was smarter.
The Japs have thrown 225.0O0
troops into Luzon. They had
everything, a tank division, con-
troll of the ocean which was I'M
disputed, except feebly from the
air. d-based bombers from
Formosa which could he shut
tied against the Philippines one
day and Malaga the next (63 is
the largest number they sent
over Macarthur in any one
batch). On the last narrow
mountain fighting front across
Bataan peninsula, they out
numbered the American jungle
fox. 10 10 !.
In seven weeks Of clever war
fare, they have surrounded him,
chased him. even defeated him,
but they have not caught him.
The corner they have him in,
on Bataan. is a corner he chose.
And at his back is the island
fortress Of COrreCidor where he
can expect to hole in if chased
again.
HOW Macarthur did il can
III now be understood by fill
ing in the vacant spots between
the daily communiques. What
happened in the Philippines Is
now ready for telling.
The Japs started by feintlng
at the far northern coastal
points of Appar and Nigan, Pri-
marlly, they wanted 10 draw
MacArthur's army north, so
they could slip in behind him
from the sea, halfway down
toward Manila at Lingayen
Bay. and cut him off from the
capital. The fox did not bite.
He sent nothing north except
his few planes. Zone Of those
planes sank the first Jap battle
ship Haruna off ApparD
Macarthur always expected
the main attack at Lingayen
and was ready when the laps
tried him there two days after
tho initial attack in the north.
With wcll-placed artillery along
the south shore. he sank two Of
their II transports and pre-
vented the landing. Ton days
passed before they came back
with 10000 men and so trans
ports. This time they tried the
north shore. The bay is large,
100 miles around the Shorclinc.
Macarthur could not cover all
landing spots Yet he repulSod
them at every point except ono
ACoo This landing cut off
some Ot his north shore troops,
but all fought their way back
20 his main line facing AGoo
from the north.
Shckcst Of the Jap strokes
came "a hours later They
slipped possibly 10000 men
ashore from 20 transports south
east Of Manila AZ Atimonan on
Lamon Bay landing also at
LcCaSpi and other southern
points.
This meant Manila was gone.
Macarthur did not have enough
troops 10 defend il on all new
fronts. The Jap plan was now
clear From all sides, with over
Whelming numbers, they were
10 drive him back into Manila
where they could bomb him
into surrender. NTH Such-SiI.
+ perlority, how could they fail :?
THE Jungle Fox showed them
Il He also had a plan Just a
little smarter. He drew in hi,

That is what Capt. Colin p. Kelly, Gen Douglas
Macarthur and now Lieut.. J. d. Buckley have done
They have put their creed into their deeds.
The latest American to write his name high up on
the walls Of the Pantheon Of heroes is our 30year-od
Lieut. J. D. Bulkelev-the hero of -Rinanga Bay
With eight brave men, Buckley rocketed swift
torpedo.boa into a Aotla Of Japanese warships and
torpedoed a 5OO0-ton Japanese vessel
And he lives to do IT over again
Ouch feats as Bulkclcys and kellys are worth ton
- Of recruiting posters.
They inspire youth 10 emulation.
They put envy the souls of all middle-aged Ameri-
can men.
They give the lie to the oft-repeated croak of the
dctators that deocraces "decayed' that their de-
Tenders are "softened by easy life, peaceful life.
For that which inspires such heroic deeds as young
Kelly and young Buckley lies not so much in the muscle
as in the sprt-the soul.
THAT spirit is the spirit of America.
Il is the roar of the hon aroused
It is the mighty galvanzng force of our youth fight
Inc for freedom and for flag that has meant for them
opportunity and success
America sautes Buckley of Binanga Bay
He is a product-an incanation--of all that
