Forestry Service
Feeling CCC Cut

Fire fighting activities of the State
Forestry Service will be handicapped
this year because of the decrease in
personnel of the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps in Maryland, F. w. Bes-
ley, State Forester, declares.
Only three CCC camps in the State
are now working for the forestry
service, two of these being located in
this county at Swallow Falls and
Meadow Mountain. The third is in
Worcester county. Four years ago
eight CCC camps were attached to
the forestry service.
Mr.. Besley said the work of the
CCC boys was very helpful in fire
control.
The CCC began to rctrench in 1888
as a result of reduced appropriations
and an upswing in business. Only
thirteen CCC camps remain in the
State out of a one-time high of
twenty-one. The abandoned camps are
being held in readiness for military
use during the war, according to S.
G. Smith, liaison officer for the CCC
in Maryland.

BY the Associated Press.
Younger officers who believe in
taking the offensive must be placed
in key Army and Navy commands If
victory is to be won, Senator Hill,
Democrat, of Alabama, believes.
The Senate Democratic whip ad-
vocated this as one Of -four steps to
win the war" in a Nationwide
broadcast last night.
The other three steps he proposed
were establishment Of unified COM
mand over land, air and sea forces:
removal of war industries to the
protected interior of the country
and taxation out of existence Of all
war profits.
AS for the need for younger men
In strategic positions" In the armed
services, Senator Hill said:
TT is young men who will take the
offensive, strike the enemy quickly
and decisively at a place of our
choosing, and who will carry the
war to the heart of the enemys
citadel
I'VE cannot win the war by de-
Tending something in the United
States; we cannot win the war by
defending something in the Western
Hemisphere. We have but two OBJ
jectives in this war-one is Berlin
and the other is Toxic When we
have reached these objectives, we
have won the war"
Senator Hill declared that many
older officers were TOO welded to
archaic concepts of warfare and
have come through the years too
imbued with the old Maginot line
defense idea"
Their places" he added. must be
taken by younger men with daring
and imagination, who recognize and
accept the necessity for new
strategy and new tactics if the war
is to be Won"

'Scorched' Oil Fields

Dutch Petroleum Official
Says Restoration Will Be

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 81 Delayed) -
The unprecedented thoroughnesS Of
the scorched earth policy in the rich
oil fields of the Netherlands Indies
turned them into costly shambles
and made it extremely unlikely that
they would be Of any value to the
japanese for some time, a Dutch
authority declared today.
J. B. Aug. Kessler. managing di-
rector Of the Royal Dutch Petro-
leum Co., which owns the greater
part Of the oil wells in the Neither
lands Indies, told of the extent Of
the destruction in an interview given
to Henry van Dam, staff correspon-
dent of Aneta, Netherlands Indies
news agency.
Mr.. Kessler said that whole settle
ments we're destroyed, that Dutch
families sacrificed their homes and
all they had in he world as their
share in the effort to beat Japan.
$50 of Supply Cut Off.
Each area was turned into an
ocean Of flame which gradually
changed into dismal desert ruin"
the oil official said, telling how oil
tanks, pumping stations, power
plants, pipe lines, storehouses and
the conveniences Of swimming pools.
canteens, playing fields and theaters
were destroyed.
BY wiping out the oil centers Of
Tarakan, Balikpapan and Palem-
bang, the Dutch cut off SO per cent
of the total oil available in the
Netherlands Indies, it was said.
Mr.. Kessler smiled grimly when
asked whether there was any hope
Of the Japanese patching up these
wells and getting at least a small
quantity of oil within short time.
II don't think So" he said. AT
Tarakan, of course, where the oil is
such that it need not be refined,
they might within a few months be
getting a small supply of crude
fuel. But elsewhere. not much hope
Little Chance to Restore Plants.
He pointed out that IL TOOK years
for the Dutch to import the COM
plicated and massive machinery for
oil production and expressed doubt
the Japanese could transport such
machinery and erect it-even if it
were available-without the Allied
fleets or air forces stopping their
little game"
Some wells were plugged, he said.
and Japan will have to do mighty
lot of drilling before she can hope
20 get even small quantities of oil"
Even if Japan could get the
men and even if she obtained the
help of German technicians. I very
much doubt whether she would get
the chance to restore these wells as
long as there is an Allied air force"

equivalent to Army non-coms shall
