M Arthur Faces
Problems in
Forming Staff

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Australia. March 81
ICUP).-Gen. Douglas Macarthur
is getting the unqualified co-opera-
ton of all United Nations officials
and services but still faces per-
picking problems in forming a
supreme command for a major
offensive.
The mountain of detail involved
in preparing for defense of Aus
tralia and an eventual offensive
against the japanese cannot be
eliminated in a day although the
work is being speeded. But in addi-
ton there are three major prob
lens that must be Solv to
achieve complete unity and au-
.thority.
1-MacArthur's comman d
does not govern Allied naval
forces. So far, this has not been
important but il will be most
essential that naval strategy be
closely integrated with other
operations in the offensive which
Macarthur envisageS.
1.-THE now separate or
ganization of the Royal Austria
liam Air Force must be inte-
grated with American air forces,
which are part of the army.
Some high Australian and
American air officials have said
that they were frankly uncer-
tain how the indignation OF
widely scattered and diverse or
CARNATIONS can be achieved.
3-There is considerable con-
fusion as to the extent TO which
Macarthur might countermand
or superSede orders of the Allied
governments and forces.
These problems admittedly are
fSeriouS ones in the United Nations
efforts TO match the Axis system
of complete centralized and unified
command for swift. smashing
Operations, but II is felt here thai
they will be solved.

Federal Lottery Plan
Broached Again in
House Measure
Romsoy Bill Embodies
Scheme Giving Return
To Each Ticket Buyer

| By the Associated Press.
A new congressional drive for a
Federal lottery, with War bonds as
the prizes, got under way today.
Backing it was Representative
Ramsay, Democrat, of West Virginia,
who introduced legislation autnor-
izing the Treasury Depar >lent to
operate a lottery plan developed by
Ernest w. Fogel, Beaver, Pa.
Unlike some systems, Mr.. Fogel's
plan would guarantee some return
to every ticket holder. Each ticket
will sell for $125.
Mr.. Ramsay said conservative esti-
mates of monthly sales would be
about 100000 tickets, or a dollar
volume of $25 900 900. Most of this
would be profit for the Government,
under whose supervision the lotteries
would be operated. Monthly cash
awards would range from a high of
S46,875 to the first winner, $37,500
for second and 1000 awards of 1875
each. All cash prizes would be paid
in War bonds.
The maximum operating cost was
estimated by Mr.. Ramsay at about
10 per cent of total sales. Deduct
ing this and the amount of prizes
from the total, the Government, he
Evening star., 1942-12-02

pointed out, would reap a profit of
about 100000 monthly.
Numerous lottery proposals have
been introduced in the past, but
Congress to date has frowned on
them as an unethical way of rails
ing money. One of the most per-
sistent lottery boosters, Representa-
tive Knutson, Republican, of Min
nesota, a member of the Ways and
Means Committee, said he would
renew at the next session his drive
for lottery legislation which he es-
timated would yield the Government
around 000,00C,O 900 annually.
Mr.. Knutson's proposal is for an
outright lottery managed by the
Government, with prizes similar in
value to those given in the Irish
Sweepstakes drawings.

Australia 5 Needs
In Machine Tools for
Munitions Stressed
Official, Here to Seek
Means Of Stepping Up
Output, Cites Coins

Australia badly needs United
States machine tools to enable her
munitions industries to provide a
bid dividend in terms Of production
Of small arms, guns, ordnance and
the like, according to Lawrence J.
Hartnett, director Of ordnance pro-
duction of the Australian Munitions
Department.
The squat 44-year-old Australian
told q press conference yesterday he
has already started discussion with
of1cials here on practical means of
accelerating aid for the Australian
munitions program.
Seeks to Help Self.
Mr.. Hartnett pointed out that
Australia is doing all she can to help
herself and is not merely attempting
to depend on the Allies. Although
admitting the need for machine
tools for Australian munitions pro-
duction is urgent, Mr.. Hartnett in
sisted that what we are asking for
from the Allied pool is in terms of
the total production and equipment
relatively little. but in terms of Aus
tralia it means much now and for
the future"
At the same time statement
made by Australian Prime Minister
John Curtin in Canberra yesterday
was released to the press conference
pointing to the intensified war pro-
duction program in Australia and
declaring:
Yet the fact still stands-we are
not sufficiently strong, not sufficient
ly equipped and deficient in phases
Of our organization. Mr.. Hartnett
has gone to America to assist In
overcoming them ."
Astounding" Effort.
Mr.. Hartnett said Australia has
produced great deal from very lit
tie, has improvised, adapted and
used old equipment.
The munitions effort OF Australia
has been astounding" he said.
He added that there is every in
dication" during the few days he
has been here that the Australian
problem is appreciated.
He also pointed out that Austria
liza is under reverse lease-lend, al
ready providing much food, housing
and other items for American troops
