soldier, cool, even tempered, poised,
admired by his staff and men,, pre-
pairing to do a titanic job despite
heavy odds against it.
Even the generals air-tiight Of
1000 miles to Australia had a touch
of the dramatic to it. For the zone
over which he and his officers and
aides flew in two planes, has
been conceded as being the 'hot
spot of the southwest Pacific. This
is the zone where both enemy and
Allied planes are continually on the
alert. Fighters, bombers, and in
t%erceptors, always ready for bat
tie. When you look at a map and
see the territory you will fully real
ize that Macarthur has not lost
any of his holiness. 1t is such dar-
ing, skill, and calm that has put all
the confidence of the Allied nations
people directly on his shoulders.
The Yanks, and Aussies, being what
they are in temperament. and dis
position as to being ready for a fight
at all times, now have a man as
their leader they know will not fail
them.
Congressman Behind Him, Too.
That this attitude even goes for
officials and congressman in the ma
TONS capital is noted in the COM
ment of various congressman on the
day that MacArthur's safe arrival
was announced in a special official
war department communique. Sen.
Willard E. Tydings, 3D., Md said
that Australia now has real leader
ship that he was very happy to
know that Macarthur was down
there where a man such as he is
needed.
Rep. Joseph J. Mansfield, 3D.,
Texas put in a comment which all
Americans fully understand. He
said that Macarthur is sure going
to raise hell" with the laps pro-
viding we can keep him supplied
with a continuous line of supplies
and men.
House Minority Leader Joseph w.
Martin (R., Mass.), said he was
happy to hear of the famous SOL
dier's appointment. He further add
ed that such an appointment will
add to the confidence of the Ameri-
can people.
The day that MacArthur's appoint
ment, and successful flight to Aus
tralia was announced, the President
in his press conference also had
words of encouragement for the
American people. He said that the
purpose of the transfer was not to
develop further defensive measures,
but primarily, and definitely to win
the war" President Roosevelt said
at that conference that he felt, too,
that every American man and wom-
an held the same admiration for the
fighting, brilliant general that he
held.
Maj. Gen. Jonathan M. VAIN
wright, close friend Of Macarthur,
and his right-hand man in the Phil
ippines, is still there in the Bataan
peninsula to carry on against the
Japs. There, the odds are still 20
to l, or even more, against the
American forces, but Wainwright
will carry on. For he, former com
mandant at Fort Myer, Va, is re-
garded by those who are familiar
with his capacities and abilities as
being one of the army's shrewdest
students Of modern warfare. Off

That is what thousands of persons said, some of
whom might have said it to you, when word was flashed
from Australia that General Douglas Macarthur was down
there to assume the supreme United Nations command in
that region.
Ever since the war in the Pacific region began, the story
of the ground warfare has been continually, and dishearten-
ingly the same but with one exception.
Newspaper and radio accounts have related of continual retreats and,
finally, surrenders by the Allied armies. But the brilliant exception to all

BEST SELLER
 AT CHRISTMAS
 IS THE BIBLE
By JOHN SELBY Associated Press Arts Editor

NEW YORK.-Everybody knows the Bible is the best seller of all time--especially at Christmas-but not everybody understands that it is one of the most tinkered- with books in history. Publishers. schol- ars, and the laity cant keep their hands off it.
 In l940, there were 5,267 ,529 copies of the Bible, New Testa- ment and Gospels sold in war drained China alone, and the American Bible Society estimates that 25 million copies of the Bible, or some portion of it, were sold throughout the world last year.
 The Bible tinkers are not the many translators always at work, either. These take care of great languages such as Chinese and Arabic; of little languages such as Miskito, which serves only 25,000 people on the central Am erican coast Nor are they merely laymen with an itch to express themselves.
