An outstanding example of the
war effort of various youth organ
izations in the Detroit area is seen
in the activities of the Boys Ath-

bcrS into the armed service within
the last Is months.

Lesson From Reds

COMMUNICATES have been speak
inc tersely of night assaults by
the Japs against Wainwright's line
in Bataan. limiting at a new win
kle in warfare, stolen from the
Russian book.
There are new wrinkles. but not
very well pressed. As the JapS
use them. they are Just gloriiied
raids against outposts, organized
more extensively than usual, so
they can employ artillery and NOR
tars in the dark.
In preparation for the night at
tack. aerial photographs are made
of certain American positions. The
guns are set and when darkness
falls they blaze away at the fixed
invisible point.
Generally this night artillery
barrage prepares the way for in
fantry assault against machine
gun nests, the locations of which
are plotted out on paper in day
light.

aircraft fire from a small prepared
rocky fort apparently can make #

tions permit building Of safe bomb
shelters. beyond reach OF the
thousand-pounderS.
Large 3-inch anl-aircrait guns
can erect impenetrable walls OF
fire in defensive circle above the
fort. The bombers are thus forced
so high their chance of hitting
their target is virtually nil. and
most OF their bombs are wasted.
Unfortunately ships al sea and
cities cannot maintain such de
lenses. Only the larger ships can
carry three-inch A-A'S and Their
aim is hindered by the rocking OF
the vessels. Cities have their Nalu-

Confused Fighting

Fortunately, most of Bataan is
a jungle so deep and dark it can
hardly be penetrated in daylight.
The JapS. therefore. have concen-
trated their night attacks gencr-
ally on the Abucay plain, an open
level space near the east end OF
Wainwright's line, where a stream
falls into rice paddles.
Wainwright does the same thing
TO the JapS, but only as tar as his
daytime vision permits planning
because he has no aerial recon

RECORDS NEEDED
 FOR GOVERNMENT
Broken Monograph Plates Partial Substitute for
 Shellac Supplies

Gone are the days when broken photograph records were used as ammunition by certain vaudeville comedians.
 Today, according to release from the state office of Price Adminis- tration, all kinds of records-broken used. dreary and worn-out are much in demand by manufacturers as @ partial substitute for the cri- ticau limited supplies of shellac re- quired in the manufacture of new records.
 The demand has recently become so sharp that the OPA now re- quires retailers who purchase rec- ord scrap to display a placard in their establishments showing the maximum prices they are allowed to pay.
 Broken records, for instance, can't be bought for more than four cents per pound.
 Other maximum prices allowed are two cents for a 10-inch solid stock record: three cents for 12- incher; cent for 10-inch lam- mated record; and l-2 cents for 8 l2-incher.
 A laminated record is one whose playing sides are separated by a disk of paper, while a solid-stock record is one without the paper.
 The maximum scrap prices were established, the OPA points out, to prevent the growing demand for scrap from boosting the buying prices sky-high.
