enforcement of the regulation
pending action on the referendum
in the next election.
The police board plans to enforce
the regulation after a survey has
been completed to determin
whether some automobile owners
will be permitted to park their cars
over night in school yaros, parks
and other city property.
Plans are being completed for
an open meeting on the question Of
the parking ban, to be sponsored
by the citizens group, Mr.. Werth-
elmer said. 1--WE plan to invite the
members of the police board, the
Mayor, the Corporation Counsel,
Police Chief and Fire Marshal" he
said. 1--WE shall want the benefit of
their advice, as public officials, on
the matter"
The date and place of the meet
ing have not been decided on, he
continued, but it is possible that
the group will request permission to
use the auditorium of Wildly high
school.
Not Good Judgment
Commenting on the action of the
police boar yesterday, when they
declared that the ban, would be
enforced, Mr.. Wertheimer declared,
Their action was contrary to good
Judgment, and without regard for
the merist of the proposition before
them" He said that the attitude Of
the board in dealing with the mea-
sure was obstinate and stubborn"
In the event he receives any COM
plant that any car has been towed
away or tagged for violating the
regulation, Mr.. Wertheimer said
that with the permission of the
owner he would take the case to
superior court and request an in
junction restraining city officials
from enforcing the measure.

With Boys At Front
With Gen. MacArthurs army in
the Philippines, Feb. l9- CUP) -
Gen. Douglas MacArhturs Philip
pine troops have wiped out Japa-
nese regiment in the most successful
American cour ter-attack of the war,
and frustrated what was to have
been the start of a major japanese
drive.
In the battle, which is now in the
hopping up stage after a week of
savage and difficult fighting on the
American left wing, the Filipino
troops whom Macarthur organized
ard trained, answered the most
vital question of the campaign.
That was whether they would be
able to stand up in battle against
veteran japanese regulars. They an
swered it with positive and in
spring affirmative. Side by side with
the famous Philippine Scouts who
are a part of the American regular
army, they met and disposed of a
crack japanese regiment including
its commanding colonel.
ut should be noted that Hewlett's
dispatch covers a battle already
ended, in its main phase, and does
not conflict with official dispatches
indicating that the Japanese are
launching new major offensive.D
The battle was founght on the
Americai left wing.
The Filipinos, many Of them
recruits, fought with the bayonet
and hand grenade cody and cum
ningiy under their young Amer
lean officers, who by personal BRAY
cry set the example as they battlad
beside the hardened, seasoned
scouts.
High Officer As Leader
A high officer. here at the front,
gave an illustration of this leader
ship
The company in which First
Lieut.. Willibald Bianchci, of New
Elm, Mimi, was an officer was In
reserve.
Bianchi, carrying a rifle, volun-
tarily took part of the company in
to action.
Early in the fighting, he was
wounded in the left hand.
He threw away his rifle, drew his
pistol which he could handle with
one and, and continued to lead his
platoon.
1t was not long before Bianchi
and his men were advancing into
the fire of japanese machine gun
nests.
Bianchi's men located the nest
and he disposed of it with a hand
grenade.
Later he spotted another machine
gun and directed fire against it.
AS he did SO he was wounded again.
The platoon kept on, Bianchi in
the lead. 1t reached an American
tank which had been abandoned
the previous day when land mine
disabled it.
Bianchi climbed, despite his two
wounds, into the tank and with its
gun wiped out the second machine
gun nest.
He was wounded a third time,
this time seriously.
The officer who told me this story
said he had just heard from a field
hospital tat Bianchi had passed
the crisis and was expected to re-
cover.
In the same action, first Lieut..
r. K. Roberts, of Bisbee, Ariz., led
his infantry platoon and himself
wiped out an enemy machine gun
nest with hand grenade.
He reached his objective with
only two of his men. The rest had
fallen before Japanese machine
gun fire.
