MACARTHUR COMES
THROUGH ONCE MORE
(Oroville Mercury

(OrOVllle Mercury
Chalk up another one for Macarthur.
We began to like Macarthur specially
we'll after he had Joined his two armies
on LuZon and had eXtricated them by Il
brilliant maneuVer from a Japanese trap,
placing them in previously prepared posi-
tions on Bataan. 1t enabled him to offer
prolonged resistance that damaged the
Jap timetable and bolstered the morale
of the United Nations.
We liked him again when he took
charge OF Australia's defenses and won
the confidence of the AuSSies. Obviously
our forces were in good hands there.
That our confidence was not misplaced
was demonstrated Monday when wait
ing world learned that Macarthur was
ready at Milne bay when a strong Jap
naval force landed numerous reinforce
ments and supplies at that point to out
flank Port Moresby.
The radio hummed Sunday morning
with the bad news. 1t seemed that the
naval force of one cruiser and destroy
ers had slipped into Milne bay under
cover of a tropical storm and had with
little resistance landed forces that We're
to overwhelm the Australians and Amer
leans there. 1t was a japanese coup and
spoiled the good news of the Solomons
actions that the navy finally had sum-
married for us. We had been outflanked
in turn and Port Moresby, ideal jumping
off point for the Japs for an invasion
of Australia. was likely to fall
Only "a hours later came the news
that the new Jap force was being ami
hilated. Macarthur had prepared in ad-
vance for just such japanese move. He
had his men ready in sufficient force
not only to wipe out the Japs but to do
it so eXpeditiOusly as to seize their sup
plies.
Macarthur is measuring up to his job
1t takes brains to win wars.

THE DRAFT OF
WOMEN AND CHILDREN

(Watsonville Register-Paj ajaronian)
The meaning of total war was made
sharply clear last week when Clifford
BrittOn, farm placement representative
Of the United States employment service,
declared that the women and children of
California must be looked to to harvest
the crops of 1943 The farm labor short
age Of the present is acute, Mr.. BrittOn
said-but he termed the current lack of
men for farm work only comparatively
serious in view Of the prospect for next
year.
"At present there are $4,000 farm
workers in southern California fields,
he said; "but by January l the farmers
will need 10000 more. And during this
same period the shipyards will require
10000 more workers, aircraft industries
100000, and general factories 100000
In other words the nations man-poWer
will be utilized to the full in direct war
effort, with the men not in the armed
forces Communicated to keep the war
industries at peak production. Women
and children must fill the breach of la
Dor shortage on the food production
front: not in gay uniforms, not in CLAM
our but in hard labor for long hours
under a hot sun.
Americas enemies built their diabolic
power by the methods Of total war this
country must now adopt But the grim
picture has its bright side. If it takes
the last able-bOdied woman and school
boy to meet the test, this nation will
meet it. One hundred and thirty million
Americans, fighting for freedom, cannot
be beaten.

MODERN RANGERS

The name rangers" is apt for the
American version of the COmmandos.
In war that features use of the most
ultra-modern instruments of death and
destruction we have been driven back
to the methods Of stealth and man-tO-
man combat in which Rogers Rangers
outdid the very Indians from whom they
derived their methodolOgy.
The services of Robert Rogers back
woods militiamen were invaluable to the
Anglo Americans during the Seven Years
War against the French in North Ameri-
ca. They accomplished feats which no
regular troops, however skilled and cour-
ageous could have achieved That is what
the modern Rangers will do with modern
enemies.

LOLLIPOPS AND MlTTS
JOIN BATHING KIT

A lollipop of busting powder,
brought out BY n noted house for
hot weather comfort and chann,
is making talk among the campus
bound customers.
The big round terry cloth puff
on a wooden stick, is done III siA
color combinations, white With reda
or blue or green trim, rose with a
touch of white, turquoise with

social usage by answering the fol-
lowing questions, then checking
against the authoritative answers
below:
/. How is a brides wedding ring
usually marked?
2. If she wishes, MAJ the bride
give the Bridegroom a wedding
ring?
8. Does the best man usually
take the responsibility for seeing
that the clergyman gets his fee?
4. If you hear that a friend who
lives at distance has recently
been married, should you write and

ANSWERS
l. F.C.L. and H.IR., Oct. g. 1912.
2. Yes Unless he objects to
wearing a wedding ring-as some
men do.
3. Yes. Though the money of
course, is given to the best man
by the groom.
4. Yes. Weddings in wartime are
likely to be hurry-up affairs and
the fact that you didn't received
an invitation or announcement
would not indicate that you were
deliberately ignored.
5. Yes.

METAL SCRAP
WAR NECESSITY

Steel is the bottleneck of bottlenecks
in our war production and strategy.
Ship shortage is cramping us, both in
importing raw materials and in export
ing the materiel of war including armies.
Rubber is cramping us by depriving us
of a recreational escape and by threaten
ing to keep men away from work for
lack of transportation.
But if we had enough steel we could
solve these other shortages. We don't
even have the steel with which to build
the plant to make the steel we need.
AT the end of this year it is estimated
officially that we shall have the capacity
to produce 92,OOO,000 tons of steel an
nually. But with that, the experts, we
shall not make more than S5,000,000 tons,
Notwithstanding the crying need for the
metal both for direct use production and
for expanding our plant.
The reason? Not reluctant capital
Not shirking labor. Not lackadaScal Of
ficialdom And not inefficiency.
We can't use our steel plant to capac-
ity because we do not have enough scrap.
In this situation the nations 10000
automobile graveyards, eyesores for so
many years, have acquired enormous
value A WPB survey indicated that on
May ! these places were harboring a
million and half discarded cars.
The average iunked automobile con-
tains 1900 pounds of steel. Multiply this
by a million and a half cars, and there
is more than a million tons of scrap.
Mixed half and half with pig iron, the
automobile graveyards are capable of
contributing to the making of two and
quarter million tons of steel. A lot OF
guns, bombs or hand grenades, dedicated
to the NaZis and the japanese, can be
made from that.
But in addition, we must find other
sources from which to get another two
and half million tons of scrap, if we are
to work our steel plants to capacity from
now on
The British have met similar problem
with civilian sacrifices not yet even Sug-
gested on this side of the water.
The government over there has confis-
Gated all iron gates and ratings except
the few of genuine historic, artistic or
safety value. All the parks have been
reft of their metal ratings Those around
nine famous London churches provided
the makings of six medium-siZed tanks.
We are not being asked for such sacri-
fices as these, yet. Probably we won't
But if there is any justifiable accusa-
tion of lackadaisicalness or inefficiency
to be made, it arises out of the fact that
no real attempt has been made to awaken
our public to the seriousness of the scrap
situation

WE
the Women
By RUTH MILLETT

How much nerve" do you have
Nerve enough to:
Ask a friend to return an article
to a department store because you
don't like TO do that sort of thing
yourself?
Ask a friend to mail a letter at
the a1stoffice when the errand
means finding a parking place and
dropping a coin in a parking meter?
Ask a friend to cash a personal
check or to stand in line at a
bank to cash a check or make a
deposit for you?
Ask a friend to shop for you,
even though you know she has only
her lunch hour or one afternoon
a week in which to shop for herself?
Say gaily How about taking me
along with you?" when a friend
mentions driving to another city on
business?
Let your children play in the
yards of neighbors so that you can
have peace and quiet?
Borrow an article and ask its
owner TO take it home when you
have finished?
DON'T BE A RIDE-HOPPER
Let it be understood among your
friends that you expect someone
to give you a lift to and from every
party or get-together?
Ride regularly to and from work
with a friend and make no effort
10 repay the person in any way?
Expect to use a friends house as
a hotel whenever you are in a city
where you have an "old friend" you
don't even bother TO keep in touch
with between visits?

AXIS Is KIDDED

One of these childrens stories
for groWn-upS is titled Three
Men in a Boat In simple Ian
guage it tells how Mussolini stayts
out in an old tub to look for his
fleet He picks up Hitler, and later
TOTO. The tub flies over America,
and they see the U. S. war pro-
duction.
II know that the Americans are
deaf" cracks Hitler, because I
told them such production was i'm
possible" Later he says, Nobody
| believed me when I said I would
conquer the world" To which Mus
solini replies, Neither did l." Any
way, they finally find Mussolinis
| fleet - at the bottom of the ocean.
All this, and a lot more
that can't be told about, is the
work of the Overseas Publica-
tiOns Bureau of the Office of
War Information.
Most familiar aspect of this
overseas propaganda is of
course the short wave broad
casting beamed to foreign cOun-
tries.
But the job of telling the world
- particularly the neutral coun-
tries which are potential allies -
can't all be done by radio or by
! dropping leaflets or safety matches
out of a plane. A lot of it has
to be direct contact work and for
that job this Overseas branch of
Owl has set up an outpost bureau
which has established offices all
over the world.
Into places like Turkey, for in
stance, go Americans whose job 1t
is to spread the American story
through established media in that
country.
One of the strangest assignments
given by this overseas branch was
to open an outpost office" in Lon
don. to help explain and interpret
the American war effort to the
British. If the British have to be
sold on the benefits they are re-
ceiving from Lend Lease, you can
see how difficult the job would be
in Brazzaville or Burma.

A native of-wen, say Java, Bur-
ma, occupied China or even japan
itself, plodding along the road or
coming into the streets of his ma
tive village after an American
plane has passed over, may one
of these days find at his feet a
paper of matches of the kind given
away in the U. S. with every pack
age of cigarets.
Matches in the rest of the world
are a darn sight scarcer than they
are here, so the chances are even
that the native will pick up this
not-so-insignificant gift dropped
from the skies.
Inspecting the matches he will
find that the match cover present
face of the typical toothy Jap,
each Of the matches being tooth
in the Jap jaw. There is a slogan,
"Yank out Tojo's teeth" and, sure
enuogh, every time a match is pull
ed from the paper, a tooth dis
appears from the printed face.
This novel notion is supposed to
be one of the latest touches of put
ting over propaganda in foreign
lands. There are similar striking
ideas, to match that, for distribu-
ton in other lands. Cracks at La
val for France, gags on Mussolini
for Italy and you know who for
Germany.
The propaganda, of course,
isn't confined to matches. There
are reproductions of Henry
Wallaoe's speech advocating
world in which everyone will
have a bottle of milk a day,
printed in little booklets. There
are statistics on American re-
sources and American war pro-
ductiOn, illustrated by cartoons
and gagged-up graphs, indicat-
ing the eventual United Ma
tiOns victory There are pretty
little stories for the children,
printed on rice paper to make
them thin enough TO hide in
school books.

Negligent Maxi
Officers Shot

NEW YORK, March 30-(P
Trustworthy advices received
from Europe today by the AS
ISOLATED Press said travellers
who recently visited Paris re-
ported that six German officers
were shot and a score of others
sent to prison camps in Poland
on charges of negligence at the
time of the Raj raid on the
Paris area March 3.
These reports said that almost
all the officers in charge of the
air defenses of the city were at
tending a gala party at a luxur-
ious night club, the Bal Tabarin,
that night and knew nothing
about the raid until the bombs
had been falling for some time
on the big Ranault motorcar
plants on the Seine.
Among the officers at the
party, il was said, were those
responsible for sounding an
alert.
These reports said the noise
of the party was SO great that
the officers failed TO hear the
bombs and probably would not
have known of it until it was all
over had not the manager hap
pened to go outside and return
ed to inform them.
