 This brought in real dividends one night when the Japs thought they had persuaded the chief to lead them through the jungle at night in an attempt to sneak around the marines and attack on the flank. The old chieftain. however, led the Japs straight into an American ambush.

 REVOLUTION IN THE PACIFIC
 Reports leaking out of the Dutch East Indies indicate that the Japs have done an excellent job of pro- pagahdizing against the white man. Their argument is.
 The white man took all your wealth And when you were at tackled he would not stay to fight. He ran away"
 Unquestionably, this propaganda has made headway and many ob- servers from the Pacific believe that the Dutch will have great difficulty taking back their South Pacific empire, regardless of the Japs
 They also believe that the British never again win occupy Hoilgkong or Singapore The Chinese will not let them.
 American officials recently re- turned from Australia also report that both the Australians and New Zealanders favor some kind of close tie-up with the United States after the war. One Australian cabinet member told a high U s. official.

Dodgers were liked by seven. and

who couldn't decide among them,
the Cards or the Reds.

Five players named Cincinnati

catcher, came out for the Chicago

their choices with the observation
that they were made on the basis

Winter Golf Rules

See in Such Step

CHICAGO, Feb. 12-Men who
keep the Nations golf courses in
trim want winter golf rules the
year around for the duration.
Members of the Greenkeepers
Superintendents' Association said
winter rules would prove beneficial
in the following ways:
Speed up play. thereby making
courses available to more people for
recreation; allow for longer growing
of fairway grass, which in turn
would reduce the danger Of turf
diseases; reduce the number of deep
divots. and probably most of all,
would save labor and offset an ex-
pected shortage of men available
for golf course maintenance work.
Winter rules permit improving
the lie of the ball by miving it with
the head of the golf club to any
position within a 6-inch radius.
