NEW DELHI, India, May Us
(P0-Still full of fight after a
hell of beating in Burma
and a weary march of 140 miles
through wild Burmese jungles,
Lieut.. Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell,
declared today that Burma can
be - and must be retaken
from the Japanese.
The American came out of
Burma the hard way. He re-
fused lift from United
States Army plane because he
still had a job to do.
Then, when it became clear
that withdrawal was the only
course, he and a group of sold
iers and native nurses started
from Wuntho May A. They made
more than half of their 20-day
trek afoot, hidden from aerial
searchers by lush tropical for
ests while their food supplies
dwindled. General Stilwell flew
here on the last leg.
He said he regarded Burma as
a vitality important area for re-
entry into China, now blocked
from the Burma Road supply
route. After comforting with
General Sir Archibald p. Wav-
ell, British communicating chief
in India, he is going back to
China to talk to Generalissimo
Chang Kai-Shek.
TOOK A BEATING
Here, in his own salty words,
is what happened to the allies
in Burma:
81 claim we got hell of a
beating We got run out of Bur
ma and it is humiliating as hell.
l think we ought to find out
what caused it, go back and re-
take it."

EIGHT TO FACE COURT
Eight persons will face the
Judge, two were reprimanded by
chief of police and one will
report to Mount Clemens police
today for disposition of his case
as the highspots of Macomb
county's first total blackout.
Oddly enough the most fla
grant violation in the entire
county occurred in Mount Glenn
ems at the county building itself
where a brightly blazing radio
beacon atop the structure would
have served as an excellent
guide-light for enemy planes at
distance of good many
miles. Officials explained that
the beacon is under the jurisdic-
ton of the Federal Radio Com
mission and SO could not be ex-
tinguished.
In the earlier test blackout,
the postoffice at Richmond was
one of two violators in that
community's total blackout and,
of course, the beacon on the To-
cal county building blazed
brightly. The other violator at
Richmond at the earlier test was
the Kroger store. Night watch
man Scott Burke of Richmond
reported a 10 per cent blackout
last night.
REALLY CRACK DOWN
Mount Clemens and st. Clair
Shores were the only two coun-
ty communities who really
cracked down on violators al
though Sheriff Jacob Theut sent
his deputy sheriffs out on sew
eral violations. Mount Clemens
and Sheriff Theut acted under
the provisions of the newly-en-
acted state blackout act and st.
Clair Shores acted under h G
provisions Of the village black
out ordinance.
A parked car in front of the
Little Tavern at AZ Broadway
in Mount Clemens drew the fire
of Mayor Donald r. Westendorf
upon its owner, John Klein, 81,
of Clintonview drive, in Clinton
township.
Air wardens flashed word to
headquarters a few minutes aft
er the alarm sounded that the
car with its head lights and tail
light blazing was locked so that
the lights couldn't be shut off.
