sixth of the men under arms are

STRATEGIC SITUATION
The Far East, China, India and
all their teeming millions, will be

Because California is on the west
coast it will become the jumping
off place for the Orient
Winning a peace SO that these
vast markets may be utilized, is
important, Phillips said. But right
now the most important thing is
winning the war, which must be
done at any cost, he declared.
He spoke of the duties of the
chambers of commerce in provid-
ing national unity, SO necessary to
successful conduct Of tho war. He
outlined the paths that the cham

This is the first request VIC have
had for high school students to help

perintendent Guy Weakley said Sat-

Junior and senior volunteers de-
clared they we're glad to do the work
as a patriotic duty. They were to

so cents an hour.
Barring a few blistered palms, the
students stood the work we'll up to

Runway Revision
Delays Opening Of
Marine Base Here
Station to Open After
End of Year; Bigger
Planes Accommodated

Opening of the $5,00O,0OO
Ell Centro Marine corps air
training base has been de-
layed until the end of the
year because of extensive
changes being made there, the 11th
Naval district announced Saturday
Under original plans the base
would probably be in operation by
now and 1900 enlisted Marines and
officers would now be stationed
there.
However, necessary revision III
plans, changing the long runWayS
has held up final opening, the Navy
officials said.
Several large bombers have al
read used the base as nesting
place. Consolidated B-24's have been
observed taking off and landing
there.
Original plans called for much
shorter runWays than the ones now
being completed. The longer rib
bons of hard surface material will
allow much heavier craft to light
there.
When the base is completed it will
consist of hangers, repair and stor-
age buildings and barracks for per-
Sonnel.
/ 1t has been deemed one of the
major military developments in the
entire southland by the Navy de-
partment.

Army-NavaI Journal
Defends Censors
For Hiding Losses
News Suppression Held
Confusing to Enemy,
Aid to us. Strategy

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.
(UP)-The Army and Naval
Journal today defended as
wise military strategy the
a:my's suppression of news
of our losses in the Tokyo raid and
the navy's deferred announcement
of American ships sunk at Midway
and the Solomons.
In the same editorial, the unoffi-
cial publication said there would
be reprisals which "the Japanese
people will never forget" If the sus-
pended sentences given the captured
Tokyo raiders are carried out.
B.; omitting part of the truth OF
the Doolittle raid, the Journal ex-
planned, "the japanese were given
no hint to direct their hunt for dis
abled ships. For months they were
in doubt as to whether the crew
they captured belonged to Brig.
Gen. james, Doolittle's command
In the meantime, public opinion
forced the government to recall
planes from battle areas. and to
reorganize its home air service, and
thereby added to the confusion that
prevailed.
ITO satisfy that opinion premier
TOTO had to go to the length of
court-martialing the prisoners for
alleged 'inhuman acts and give
them suspended sentences. If these
sentences should be carried out,
there will be reprisals which the
Japanese people will never forget
"Assailed also is the navy depart
ment for deferring the announce
ment of losses. Yet this deferment,
together with their own heavy losses.

carrier yorktown, to disSuade the
Japanese from renewing the Mid

mons to cause them to increase their
force in that area to equalize at

naval and air activities elsewhere.

Married men who have an" job

him for his autograph.
She looked at him closely, be-
lieving he must be motion picture

her. She didn't know him from a
load of hay. Her attendance at
picture shows is about nil so the
