"You will need every bit Of prep

a hasty marriage does not always

1T is probably wiser not to curtail
your preparation for life by hasty
marriage because your beau Is going

She made it clear that she did
not allude to any marriage resulting
from a friendship "over period

an individual decision.
Besides cautioning against fhasty

Jops Lose Heavily
In Philippine Thrusts

War Department communique Nc
IS, issued at $50 am. today, follo,Ds
/. Philippine theater.
During the past "a hours the
enemy attacked on the right and
left of our troops in Batan. These
attacks were repulsed with heavy
japanese losses. This action was
a continuance of the fighting
which has been in progress dur
ing the past few days.
Attacks were launched on the
east and west sectors by the 18th
and 65th Japanese Divisions. un-
der command of 1t. Gen. Nara.
These assaults were co-ordinated
and timed to take place simul-
taneously. Headlong thrusts were
made on the west coast, aimed
at what the enemy mistakenly
thought to be our flank and rear.
Picked troops known as Tatori
executed simultaneous attacks at
several points along the west
coast line, like the fingers of q
clawing hand. Captured aerial
maps showed the Japanese plan
and the urgent character Of the
mission. There was savage fight
ing in the underbrush. Our in
fantry, supported by artillery and
mortar fire, forced the invaders
back to the coast. Those who
attempted flight by sea were
drowned. The others were de-
stroyed or captured.
In the east sector the Japanese
65th Division attempted a frontal
attack and an development in
the Pillar area. The frontal at
tack was made by the 142d Jap
anese Infantry. A simultaneous
attempt at development was
made by the Japanese 141st and
122d Regiments of Infantry. The
frontal attack was stopped by
our artillery fire before it got
well under way. The envelop-
ment was repulsed with heavy
losses to the Japanese.
With reference to the fighting
on the west coast, Gen. MacAr-
thur said:
All enemy thrusts on the
west coast have now been COM
pletely mastered. The enemy
troops employed in this des-
perate venture were his best.
They were shock units especially
trained and selected. They have
now been entirely destroyed.
They resisted with the courage
which is characteristic of Jap
anese troops, but at the end were
glad to surrender. They are being
treated with the respect and con-
sideration which their gallantry
so we'll merits.

the shining new cars OF today will
be hopelessly outmoded when peace
comes again.
Veteran engineers and machinists
were sad when they watched the
products which were the pride of
junk. The great Chevrolet plant
hardly could be called a collection
of machines. 1t is one great, in
fnitely complex machine-one of
the three or four most gigantic
machines on earth. One might as
we'll have taken hammer and
smashed it.
Getting rid Of the machine is
only the first part of the job. Mass
production cannot go on without
similar machine with thousands
Of parts. Ever since the factory
knew what was to be its part in
war production, its engineers and
draughtsmen have been working
night and day designing the essen
tial elements of titanic robot
which will make armored vehicles
in the same way the old one made
Chevrolets.
The Major Problem.
That Is not so difficult. The job
is to break down the new product
into its smallest parts and devise
the precise mechanisms which will
make those parts. Then they can
be put on the assembly lines.
But it will be major problem to
get the new machines. Neither
Chevrolet nor any other branch of
the General Motors Corp. is equipped
to make them. They must be or
dered from machine tool COM
panies, installed at enormous labor
and expense, and workmen given
the training not a great
deal-needed to tend them.
Probably in six months, it is be-
lieved, the new instruments of war
will be rolling off the line about in
the same manner as Chevrolets
have for the last 10 years. Mean
while such machinery as is not too
specialized is being salvaged and
adapted to new jobs. Men are be-
ing trained so far as is possible in
the absence of machines with which
to train them. But the Michigan
Unemployment Compensation Com
mission will have to take care of
thousands Of them for a few months
until the engineers can get the new
line started.
