BERLIN, Jan. 26 (Oficial Broad
cast "A German dispatch from
Madrid today reported that the s..
473-ton Spanish freighter Navemar
was sunk Saturday by British sub
marine $50 miles west of Capt st.
Vincent, Portugal, and that the
entire crew of 36 was believed lost.
The cargo included $500 tons OF
grain destined for Switzerland, the
dispatch said.
The Navemar had a long history
of difficulties in New York harbor,
starting in January, 1887, when a
United States marshal seized her
during the Spanish civil war.
Last August, four of 1,100 refugee
passengers crammed aboard her on
a voyage from Spain died before
reaching Bermuda and six others
were left there for hospital care.
When she sailed for Havana, her
generators broke down and by the
time she reached New York her pas
sengers said the only ordeal worse
was life in a concentration camp.
Thirty-three of her passengers,
charging they weer overcrowded in
TERED hunks under matches, abused
by the crew and badly fed, filed suits
totaling $676,500. -

Nelson Due 10 Name
Planning Division
Idea Mem Soon
Job Will Be to Discover
Potential Snoes in War
Production Program

The idea men" OF the new War
Production Board, who will be en-
trusted with the an-important Job
of discovering potential snags in the
Nations war-production effort be-
fore they actually are encountered.
probably will be named by Chairman
Donald M. Nelson before the end
Of the week, sources close to his
office said today.
These men will comprise Mr.. Mel
sons planning division and will
represent q function completely
lacking heretofore in the war-pro-
duction setup. In announcing his
reorganization, Mr.. Nelson said this
division would be of utmost i'm
portance in the w. p. B.
Two other top divisions, those on
progress reporting and requirements.
are expected also to be stated this
week.
Nucleus Of Organization.
Together, these three agencies
represent the nucleus of Mr.. Mel
sons organization. What is done by
the other divisions-materials, pro-
duction, industry operations, civilian
supply, purchases and labor-wiH'
depend largely on reports made by
them to the W.'P. B. chairman.
The planning division will be made
UP of five or six members. it was
understood. Who they will be was
not indicated at the w. P. B. today,
but it was considered unlikely that
the membership would be drawn
from existing agencies under Mr..
Nelson's direction.
Although they will have no ad-
ministrative functions, the planners
will be expected to make definite
recommendations to Mr.. Nelson as
to production program alterations
that should be made to avoid pitt
falls.
Other Officials Named.
As head of the progress report
ing division. Mr.. Nelson already has
| named Stacy May. director of the
Bureau of Research and Statistics.
This agency will observe closely
steps taken by the various divisions
to stimulate war production and re-
port periodically to Mr.. Nelson him.
self on what has been done. .
Likewise. the head of the require
ments division already has been
named. He is William L. Bait, who
also is the chief of the materials
division. The requirements agency
will be expected to maintain close
touch with the Army, Navy, Lease
Lend administration and civilian
supply, and will determine alloca-
tion of critical materials to these
consumers. This division also will
answer directly to Mr.. Nelson.

Indies Sinkings Real Disaster
For Joponese-Their First
War News Over Week End Is Good. but People
Are Warned Agcinst Overconfidenee

able people throughout the country,
tells me he is much concerned over
the apparent complacence Of good
many folk over the war. He feels
that far too many fail to recognize
the gravity Of the crisis.
All Out Effort BY All.
Perhaps we're too far removed
from the battle front to feel the jar
of the big guns and bombs. Maybe
the Axis submarine raids along our
Eastern seaboard are real kindness
on the part of the enemy, for they
are likely to stir us up to the fact
that we are up against a life and
death struggle.
We all know that the Allies should
win because of their vastly superior
resources. But victory presupposes an
all-out effort by every man and
woman to bring these superior re-
sources into play. A pistol will kill
more people than mountain of iron
that hasn't been fabricated.
The outcome of this conflict de-
pends on the amount of war aid We
can throw into the balance, not a
year from now. but in the immediate
future. If Hitler and his minions
can muster the strength to break
through to fresh resources in the
next few months, there's no telling
how far they may 60.
The coming spring WIZ be the
most important to us since the
revolution.
Agents Working Overtime.
Axis agents and Quislings are
working overtime with propaganda
to lull us into a spirit of self salts
faction. Writers who are trying to
keep our public posted on the war
constantly receive threatening letters
from these fifth columnists who try
to frighten us into silence.
I have one before me now from
q fifth columnist who is running
about loose in Worcester, Mass. He
wants to know who the hell are
you to tell us that we shall sacrifice
totally?" He uses all the favorite
Nazi phrases, and boasts of the
upheaval to come in this country
when the mob viii take care of me
and others Of my kind.
Well, I'm not worried about my
life. for I've had it threatened before,
but 1t is q mater of concern that
these fifth columnists are moving
about among us and plotting our
downfall. This in itself should arouse
us to the necessity of that same total
sacrifice by all. If we don't stop the
Axis, we most certainly will get the
mob work that this Worcester Axis
agent boasts.

By w. H. sHIPPEN. Jr.

At the age of 81, which he reached
today, Gen. Douglas Macarthur
brings a wealth Of Army experience
to the last-ditch fight he is waging
in the Philippines.
He began to absorb the iore OF the
islands at the knee of his father,
the late 1t. Gen. Arthur Macarthur,
last military Governor Of the Philip
pines, and during his long military
career he took repeated "refresher"
courses.
Today the four-star general, at
the climax of a useful and active life,
can draw upon a broad knowledge
of the Philippines in the execution
of his tactical plan for holding the
Japanese invaders at bay as long as
possible.
Birthday" Victory Lauded Here.
The brilliant maneuver he exc
cuted to hand the Japs smashing
defeat yesterday dt was already his
birthday, Manila time) prompted
some of the generals friends in
Washington to boast that he still
has 'indomitable resolution and
courage in rallying broken lines and
in reforming attacks, thereby max
ing victory possible"
The War Department. normally
restrained in its language, used the
words smashing success to hail the
Macarthur triumph, which further
dislocated the Japanese timetable
for conquest in the South Pacific.
The of1cial communicates ref
erence to the operation as bril-
liant maneuver" testified to the ad-
miration felt by official Washington
and the Nation for his last-ditch
fight in the Philippines.
Personal friends among Army
offlcers assumed, as a matter OF
course, that the anniversary found
Gen. Macarthur at field headquar-
tiers on the embattled Batan Penin-
sula actively directing the con-
tinuing struggle They dismissed the
notion that a man of the generals
mettle could be persuaded to direct
the fight from the relative security
of Fort Mills, on Corregidor Island.
Family at CorregidOr.
However, the generals wife and
his young son. Arthur, were believed
to be on Corregidor. Although the
wives and families of most service
personnel were evacuated from the
islands before the wars outbreak,
Mrs. Macarthur stayed behind with
her husband.
At 81 the general is displaying
even greater skill and personal lead
ership than in October of 1918 when
he won an Oak Leaf Cluster and the
above citation, . which specified
further: "As brigade commander
Gen. Macarthur personally led his
men and by the skillful maneuvering
of his brigade made possible the
capture of Hills 288, 242 and the
Cote de Chatillon On a field
where courage was the rule, his cour-
age was the dominant feature"
The generals knowledge of tactics
and experience in battle are backed
with intimate knowledge of the COM
plex layout Of the islands and Of
the people and their customs. He
Is said to have great faith in the
Filipinos as courageous, able and in
telligent soldiers-a confidence re-
turned by the troops under his COM
mand.
The small but competent army
he built in the Philippines, experts
say, has cohesion, teamwork and
high morale. Whatever the army
lacked in numbers and equipment
was never the fault of the general,
who for years contended with polit-
ical indifference and interference to

ton in the Army's tactics, equip
ment, training and organization.s
Gen. Macarthur was commended
further for the logic, vision ands
accuracy" in the formulation Of
sound defense policies and the en-f
actment of progressive laws for
promoting the Nations security"
The general, in addition to many
decorations by foreign powers, holds
numerous honorary degrees from
universities, including the Univer-
sity of Maryland, Western Maryland
College, University of Pittsburgh,
University Of the Philippines, Penn
sylvania Military College and Nor
wich University.
