SINGAPORE, Jan. a. They
needed high explosives up north to
delay the Japanese flooding down
the western side Of the Malayan
Peninsula, to send bridges leaping
skyward and to make the way more
suicidal along Malay's smooth-rock-
ballasted roads for Japanese suicide
squads. They had to have gelignite-
fast.
Half q ton of the tricky stuff was
loaded into what used to be q trans
port plane, q De Haviland 80 from
. little Malayan airline. The pilot
started northward. A few miles
from the handkerchief sized field
In the jungle he saw 80 Jap fighters
darkening the sky, and, hugging the
treetops, he managed to make the
field at Ipoh.
Here they come" he told ON
cials at the field. "And say, whered
you want me to put this half ton
of business"
Get 1t down to the far end OF
the field, away from our other
planes" said the ofncer in charge.
Feeling like a leper, the gelignite
porter TAXED to the other end and
concealed the plane. Although Gus
tomarily he flies unarmed, he also
obtained q machine gun.
Bombs Rained Down.
The Japs came over, peeled of,
and dived with guns splitting as
bombs rained toward the other
planes at the far end Of the field.
The gelignite porter turned his gun
loose and met one rush with fire
from . point least expected. His
bullets Topped OF the Japs' ar
mofed sides, but managed to dam
age one plane badly enough to cause
1t to fall.
That's Just one Of the wartime
Jobs Of Malaya's least known body
Of heroes, about whom little has
appeared even in the local press

VICTORY WILL CONE
on THE HONE FRONT

It's no use looking to the man on the
fighting front to win victories They're
doing all they can, and more than any
one would normally expect Of them. The
trouble lies here at home. The rest Of
us have failed our fighting men.
This war is going to be Won on the
home front Planes and guns and tanks
are produced at home Efficiency starts
at home. The only thing thai originates
out there is the realization that were
going to los th., war unless Ne get over
our foolish complacency and buckle
down TO real effort. Il is d tragedy that,
so far, the realization has not come to
the home front.
Don't blame the boys who are doing
the fighting They can't help it if the
enemy has four planes to their one, and
t9n men to their one. We haven't given
them what they need.
The time is late. but not too late-yGt.
It's up to US 10 see that it does not be-
come too late.

provided.
The regulations direct that all

Strike
CONTINUED from Page ~

Edward McMorrow, lnterna-
tional vice-president of the un-
ion. had told the DSR workers
that contemplated strike action
was dangerous, foolhardy, IL
legal, irresponsible and unpatri-
Otto"
Nevertheless, picket lin es
were formed at seven DSR barns
at 3 a. m.
A portion of the city's trans
portation equipment rolled out
past the picket lines to provide
at least partial service. The most
acute curtailment of service was
reported on east and west side,
cross-town and northern lines.
MINORITY
DSR officials expres e d
belief about $50 employees, dis
tinct minority, were involved in
the strike. Fred A. Nolan, gen.
eral manager, said that opera
tors who refused to report for
work are being replaced where
it is possible to do it,"
The strikers who halted buses
to eject driver and passengers
operated in private automobiles,
chasing buses to force them to
the curb, police said. These tao
tics were reported used on East
Warren avenue and Vernon
highway east.
At noon the strikers shifted
their activities from Highland
Park to the Schaefer highway
terminal of the DSR. from which
come the vehicles operated on
Grand River avenue, principal
thoroughfare to Detroit's north
west section.
Police detained three men
they said were throwing stones
at buses near the Schaeffer ter
minal.
Police Superintendent Louis
L. Berg placed all motorcycle
crews on strike duty and order
ed 12-hour shifts for all police
men.
