FISHING
With BILL ACKERMAN

Maryland trout streams are in
midseason form, with normal levels
and clear as crystal But with a
continued shortage of rainfall the
same conditions prevailing last sum-
mer may be repeated. Another two
weeks without sufIlcient rain may
find the levels below the danger
point. which would mean many of
through the summer. The woods are
dangerously dry. The Monocacy
usually a turbulent, muddy river at
this time. is flowing at August
levels. and is so clear it is a chal-
lenge to bass fishermen.
Trout anglers in Maryland are
finding better fishing than they
have enjoyed for many years. We
cannot remember when the dry fly
enthusiast has caught more and
bigger fish Trout measuring 20
inches and over have ceased to be
curiosity.
Your old fly fishermen seeks to
approximate the matches coming of
the water as he fishes. They have
been known to tie flies right on the
stream and have adhered strictly to
accepted patterns. This season we
have noted so many new patterns
that resemble none of the insect life

imaginations of the home tiers con-
ceiving them. Yet. they are catch
ing trout. Could it be the fish like
change too?
The northeaster which blew. not
hard but for many days. along the
coast must have had some affect
on the fish in bay waters for a
promised fine early run of big hard
heads failed to materialize.
Down in North Carolina it piled
up such a break on the bar at Ore
gon Inlet that those who went there
for channel bass turned to striper
trolling in the sound and didn t
fare SO badly. There was no real
size, 4 pounds being about tops.
Anglers preferring the large
mouth bass fishing in Curratuck
caught limit bags in jigtime.
We often wonder how many local
anglers remember the days when
herring roe was to be had for the
walk down to the waterfront docks
Then the fish houses sought only
the fish for sailing down. And
how about the great sturgeon which
visited the Potomac each spring in
numbers? One in a half dozen
years now is an oddity. Demand
for their roe brought prices to such
height that this grand fish was
killed indiscrininately.

WAR BROUGHT ON
RUSH FOR JOBS

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 17-(UP)--
Entry of the United States into Che

for jobs in defense industries, U. S
Employment Director Maj. Leonard

More than $1,000 applications were
received in December at employment
offices throughout the state, Ma
loney declared.
"This sudden rush of job appli-
cants was not due alone to prior
tiles unemployment, but in large
measure came from a very wide
spread and sincere belief by many
people that they wanted to be per-
forming useful, productive war
work"
Nearly 10000 of this total. accord

Ambona, on Ceram island, east Of

as signs increased that the JAP

Those nations and, to a lesser de-

Failure OF Frontal Assaults
on Macarthur Leads to
New Tactics
SMALL BODIES SEEK
TO ENCIRCLE LINES
New knowledge OF Exact
American Lines; Corre-
gidOr Is Last Resort
BY HARRISON SALISBURY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

BY HARRISON SALISBURY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, January IL
(UP) General Douglas
MacArthur's battle hardened
forces - having beaten off
repeated japanese frontal
assaults - faced a new and
possibly critical threat to
their mountain and jungle
lines in Bataan Province to-
day. The Japanese appeared
to have ordered a sudden change in
tactics in an effort to force Mac
Arthur to divide his small army
and compel him to face attack on
more than one front.
Today's army communique was
expected to reveal how well Mac
Arthur has managed to cope with
this new threat which appeared to
be copied from the methods the
Japanese found successful in their
surprisingly rapid push down the
Malay Peninsula.
Change Tactics
Apparently finding that Mac
Arthur's field sfortificstions and
artillery fire were too strong for
frontal penetration without great
losses, the Japanese were sending
small bodies of picked men across
the hills and deep fOrestation OF
northern Bataan in an effort to
encircle the American lines and snap
their communications.
The combination Of new troop
lands and the dispatch OF small
groups of japanese specialists
ranging in size, 1t was presumed,
from dozen to SO to rs men-into
the U. s. lines confronted Mac
Arthur with a major problem.
If he WeakenS his front lines to
troops to deal with the
small maraudlng bands Of Japanese,
he may not be able to hold his main
lines against japanese attack. If
he fails to stamp out the small Jap
anese parties individually, they may
join and advance upon his fortitlca-
tons in considerable numbers from
the rear.
Exact Lines Unknown
There has been no American re-
port of the exact lines Macarthur
Is holding in northern Bataan. 1t is
presumed, however, that they are
somewhere just south Of Hermosa,
probably a few miles north of Ba-
langa, the largest eastern Bataan
town. He probably holds key posi-

Now the vast, complicated organ

The first work has been to estab-

This was necessary to avoid any
OF the many misunderstanding
which might have handicapped the
Allied war effort in this area.
1t was understood that the high

affairs have succeeded in etfecting
an understanding and have already

The fundamental plan was agreed

details.
There has been disappointment In
the Netherlands East Indies, and
some popular criticism, because no
officer in the Netherlands forces has
been given key post in the COM
