This Changing World
U. s. Forces, Fighting "a Hours Day in SoIomons,
Declared Facing Problem Of Fuel Supply

q situation which did not exist
before October 12-and any short
age Of oil and gasoline might
prove fatal while the Japanese
are on constant lookout waiting
for an opportunity to strike with
all the forces they keep ready
within a few hundred miles OF
their main objectives.
The Japs, on the other hand,
do not have the same problem.
The island of Truk and some
other bases are being kept re-
plenished with the needed fuel
from captured areas, particularly
Borneo.
The British and the Dutch did
good destruction work on the re-
f1neries and the oil wells on
Borneo but apparently the Japs
have been able to drill new wells
and organize some sort of re-
f1neries. 1t is also believed the
japanese probably will be able
to transport oil from the Neither
lands Indies where the destruc-
tion work wasn't as complete as
desired because of the rapidity
with which the enemy captured
Java and Sumatra.
No Fear of Rear Attack.
The exact size of the enemy's
naval and air force has not been
publicly revealed but it is assumed
that the bulk of the japanese
naval force is now concentrated
in the area between Truk and
the Solomons. The Japanese,
fighting a war on only one front,
are In position to concentrate
their forces wherever strategic
necessity requires.
They are not afraid of an at
tack in their rear. The Chinese
are not in position to do much
harm because of their lack of
modern weapons; the British in
India are not yet in position to
Evening star., 1942-10-22

assume a large-scale offensive
and the japanese high command
feels quite sure the Russians in
Siberia won't break Russia's neu-
trality and cause trouble in ia
pan. Therefore, the Japs are
able to concentrate at a given
point and strike with as much
power as they believe will win.
The American high command,
which is not in the same happy
situation, is not discouraged, how
ever, and the chances of our
forces holding out in the Solo
mons are still fair. thanks to the
heroism and abnegation of our
men.

Langley Field Pilot Killed
In Plane Crash BaiIout

By the Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Va, Oct. 22.-Second
1t. Burl J. Finch, flying an Army
fighter plane on routine fight
from Langley Field, was killed yes
terday when he bailed out of his
ship over suburban Meadowbrook
and his parachute failed to open.
Langley Field authorities did not
give the pilots address.
The plane burned after crashing
into a home and two garages. 1t set
the house on fire.
A resident of the neighborhood
said the plane apparently had struck

An evening with the papers: 1t
is fun to read the news carefully
and put scraps of this and that to-
gether. Sometimes they make a
picture.
We see American labor pretty
solidly opposed to legislation COM
pelling man to work where the
war needs him.
Forced labor Is no good, says Ia
Dor. But the Wall Street journal,
in a thorough survey, reports that
labor opinion is one of the chief OBJ
stacles Though not the only one)
to the hiring OF Negroes. especially
in the East. Forced idleness is no
good, either.
1t looks as If every labor resolu-
ton against manpower legislation
should be accompanied by reso-
luton asking that all shops be
opened to Negroes. Not one Of
those nice, wholesale national reso-
lutions, either, but a lot of nice, re-
tail resolutions, down in the in
dividual locals.
Otherwise, that subtle revenge
which race prejudice always takes
on its friends will come about. White
labor will be drafted the faster, in
exact proportion to the degree with
which it denies us the work of Ne
groes.
I see by the papers that tin is
very important. We have gone to
the trouble OF flying A tons Of 1t out

the time he took up aviation in

Farrow set down his thoughts as
follows:
The time has come to decide
what rules 1 am going to set myself
for daily conduct. My aim is de-
cided-I am going into some branch
Of aviation. I have only to apply
myself daily toward this end to
achieve it. First, ! must enumerate

nate them. Then I must seek to

only way. Work with a purpose is
the only practical means of achiev-
Ing an end. First, what are my
weaknesses?

plication.

Second, what must I do to de-

The Beavers easily polished off

COUGARS FAVORED
Oregon, which showed surpris-
ing strength in losing to the St

by one point last week, will be a
short-ender against Washington
State at Pullman. The Cougars
jumped to the top of the confer
ence heap by defeating Stanford
and are always tough to get by
on their home field.
The annual Stanford-Santa Clara
classic, shifted this year from Palo
Alto TO San Francisco because Of
