New Commander Of Fleet
Makes Statement Aboard
Sub al Pearl Hdrbor
PHILIPPINES MAY
FALL. SAYS MIMITz
Hawaii May Be Attacked
din-Ameri(an Cities
May Be SheIIed

The United States, this New
Years Day, gravcly foresaw the
possibility that the Philippines
will be swept under by the
japanese tide of war.
Through the eyes Of the
commander of the Pacific
fleet, 1t was visuaIixed that the
Pacific war may roll back in
full force to the Hawaiian Is
lands. II was also warned that
there may be possible Smelling
of American cities ON the west
coast by Japanese submarines.
Tall, smiling Texan Admiral
Chester w. Nimitz met report
crs today aboard a big new
submarine in Pearl Harbor,
three hours after he had as
sumcd command Of the fleet.
MAY SHELL WEST COAST
Asked about the chances Of
an assault on the Hawaiian Is
lands il the Japanese take Ma
Mia and the Philippines, Ad-
miral Nimitz said:
IAN attack on these islands
Is always possible. We will do
our utmost to keep them from
falling into enemy hands. 1t
Is relatively safe and simple for
a submarine to arise TO the
surface near some port and
throw a few shells into the
city. 1t is not beyond the
bounds Of possibility that Jap
anese submarines operating off
the west coast Of the United
States may attempt to lay
shells into cities before they
leave those waters"
LITTLE HOPE FOR MANILA
Meanwhile, hopes that Phil
ippine forces might stave off
the Japanese drive on Manila
dwindled hour by hour as the
nation awaited word from the
hard-pressed defenders Of the
Philippine Capital.
Latest official report from
Manila, through Washington,
was yesterday afternoons War
Department communique tell
ing of the removal of wounded
American and Filipino soldiers
to the hospital ship Mactan,
bound for Australia.
The only note added. per-
tanning to the military situa-
ton, was the terse statement
that: american and Philippine
forces are continuing their
stubborn resistance according
10 prearranged defense plans.'

WASHINGTON, Jan. IL doubt
if there ever was year in WASH
ington that wasn't full of mistakes
and the year just ended, because
of the size of the job, has had
some that will be written large on
the pages of history. That side OF
the picture I'm going to leave TO
history, but it's not to early To
toss out a few bouquets to some
whose foresight and effort make
the job ahead a little easier. For
example
To the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation which, within a few
days after war was declared had
arrested more than 5000 aliens
without angering our millions OF
foreign-bo residents. This was
the result of nearly ten months OF
careful preparation. 1t deserves a
story in itself and readers will get
it here just as soon as it can &c
told.
To Sen. Tom Connally and Rep.
Sol Bloom: to the respective Sen
ate and House Foreign Affairs
committees of which they are
and to Congress for the
speed with which they slapped
back at the Axis powers in our
declarations of war; proving that
democracy can move as fast as
dictators. Only those who know
how hard it is for congressman TO
refrain from the windy, verbal
flag-waving which this opportu-
nifty presented can realize how big

Continue 4H Beef
Work Practically

Increased production of food
crops, especially meats and meat
products, has been asked by the
Government in 1943. There
FORE" says L. I. Case, Extension
animal huSbandman of N. c.
State College, "the All Baby
Beef Club work should not only
be continued, but should be ex-
tended into more counties with
more farm boys and girls taking
part"
The only difference in the pro-
gram will be that steers must be
fattened on practical basis so
that, if necessary, they may be
sold at market prices without a
loss of money, Case said. Exhib-
its of all livestock may be out Of
the picture for 1913 and for the
duration of the war. This will at
least curtail the paying of pre-
MUM prices for All calves.
"Also," said the Extension
worker, 1--WE now have ceilings on
animal carcasses and on retail
cuts with the possibility that
ceilings will be placed on live an
imals in the near future. Meat
rationing is in immediate pros
pect and will probably limit the
purchasing of cattle for indivi-
dual family consumption"
This means, the animal hus-
bandman declared that less en-
phasis should be placed on show
ring standards. Furthermore, it
means that more home-bred ami
mails should be fed by boys and
girls. Where it is necessary to
acquire steers, they should be
purchased at commercial feeder
