Jap Hunter
Gets His Good
Nelus too Soon

MUSHROOM, Mich, Dec. Il
-R)-Upon the joy which Cap.
tain Melvin Schulz experienced
on the New Guinea front al
news of a second sons birth
there must now follow sorrow.
Commanding officer of crack
sniper hunters, the Muskegon
Mich, Army captain had told an
Associated Press war CORES
pendent that he was "tickled ia
death" over the news.
Yesterday, how yer, Mrs
Schulz confided that the baby
had died Dec. 4 and that she
had sent the word to her hus-
band.
1T may be some time before
he learns of it," she said, land
I'd prefer that he receives first
word from me-"
Word of her husbands safety
helped Mrs. Schulz bear the loss
of the baby.
How can I ever thank you
fully" she said, "for telling me
the good news that my husband
is safe and well?"
The son was born Oct. IL.
Captain Schulz had been given
the news through Army COM
munications.
Captain Schulz commands pri-
Yates Charles luke of Big Rap
ids, Mich, and John Combs of
Chattanooga, Tenn, whose ex-
ploits in hunting Jap snipers
were recited in detail in dis
patch from correspondent Muir
lin Spencer yesterday.
The other Schulz son, Thorn
as, is ID months old. The cap
tain's brother, Arthur, is a war
worker here. His mother, Mrs.
Catherine Schulz, lives on a
farm near Shelby, north Of
Muskegon.
AS for Charley luke, born in
a log cabin and reared on a
backwoOds farm, his friends in
the Big Rapids area were not
greatly surprised at the account
of his craftsmanship against the
Japs.
luke had a reputation as a
hunter, and his rugged life help
ed to fit him for the job in the
New Guinea jungles. He helped
his 76-year-old father, William
luke, clear the back 40 of the
80 acres of hilly land which
grandfather bought 81 years
ago.

Charley to shoot at the way he

The elder luke said his son
was an excellent stalker of game

had been handy with a gun since
boyhood, when he walked two
miles to country school and hur-
ried home to milk the cows.

Army is believed to have re.
treated we'll west Of the Wadi
Matratin, beyond the British
wedge.
Besides bringing at least part
of the enemy to battle, military
commentators in London said
the British now have faced him
with the dilemma of leaving his
rear forces uncovered or of pull.
ing back more tanks from the
line of retreat.
The splitting of his forces al
so has spoiled the German pro-
paganda that he was withdraw
ing unmolested, they said, and
there is now overwhelming evi.
dence that he is beaten and in
full flight.
INCREASED ACTIVITY
On the opposite side of the
Axis narrowing last foothold on
the south shore of the Mediter-
ranean, ground forces in Tunisia
stirred into new action and the
Allies appeared to be preparing
for a new drive as abating rains
promised an end to the mud
which has begged down both
sides.
The Morocco radio, saying it
quoted authoritative sources, re-
ported that axis forces already
were falling back from the re-
gion of Medjez-El-Bab, import
ant highway junction at the gate
way to Tunis and Bierte.
This was the reverse of an
earlier Vichy broadcast saying
that allied troops had withdrawn
from Medje-El-Bab. 35 miles
southwest of Tunis.
1T can be said," the Morocco
radio added, that the course of
the battle already is changing
under the weight of allied air
superiority"
AERIAL SUPPORT

emily was the result in large

Following a nigh. of intens-

munique said, "Our bombers and
fighter bombers yesterday con-
tinued to attack the retreating
enemy"
It mentioned good targets
particularly in the Zauta En- Nof-
lila area, about 100 miles over
land west of Ell Agheila, and
said they "were bombed with
excellent results"
Rommel evidently had been
so intent on avoiding just such
a pitched fight as t, British
pocket forced on him that only
feeble rearguard patrols were
put out to delay the British,
whose pace was checked princi-
pally by a long supply line and
the elaborate maze of mines
Rommel left behind.
The German communique, for
the first time, acknowledged the
renewal of RommeIs flight
which it said was developing
according to plan."

under his name.
Two of the pamphlets were en-
titled America Has No Enemies in
Asia and The High Cost of Hate"
The Japanese committee bought

sentatives Of the government of
Japan"

there was no news on that and
that he had Endorsed nobody.
He repeated this when his atten-
ton was called to reports that he
would have no objection to the
nomination going to State Attorney
General John J. Bennett. These
reports were circulated last week
end, following visit to the White
House by James A. Farley, Demo-
cratic State chairman, who Is re-
ported to favor Mr.. Bennett.
Gov. Lehman said after con-
ference with the President earlier
this week that his candidate was

To a query whether there was
any news on coalition attempts to
defeat Representative Fish, Repub-
ican, from his home district, the
President said there might be some
thing on that from Dutchess, Orange

the district, but not from the White

SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTH
PACIFIC.-The Coral Sea battle
was the first naval battle in his
tory In which all damage was done
by aircraft.
Surface craft used their weapons
only as anti-aircraft weapons and
never were in range of each other.
Both sides had aircraft carriers,
cruisers, destroyers and submarines
in the action and shell fragments
from shells larger than 8 inches,
which were found in some American
planes, indicated the possibility one
Japanese battleship took part.
The battle was not decisive. but
in these respects was an American
victory:
l. United States forces, although
outnumbered, broke up a Japanese
invasion fleet and drove it back to
it's bases-the first time that had
been done.
2. This gave valuable time to
strengthen Australia and Pacific
island bases.
3. The japanese lost at least Is
vessels. Those were far greater than
United States losses and especially
important because the United States
can replace its losses more readily
than the Japanese.

commanded by Rear Admiral Frank
j. Fletcher, were in the vicinity OF
the Coral Sea when the battle
