Chinese Garrison
Smashes THROUGH

Bv DARRELL BERRIGAN

WITH THE CHINESE ARMY ON
THE TOUNGOO FRONT IN BUR-
MA, March 81 Delayed - up
The outnumbered Chinese garrison,
without artillery or air support, has
battled its way through superior
japanese forces and retired to the
northeast to join the main Chinese

it was surrounded, for seven days.
The Chinese break-thru, achiev-
ed yesterday was an heroic feat and
q tactical success in view Of Jap
'anese superiority in numbers, Wea-
pons and air power
BY joining the main units of
China's fifth and sixth armies north
Of Toungoo, t..e garrison now will
help defend the plains below Man
dalay.
For the past week. the Toungoo
garrison had been under almost
constant artillery and aerial bomb
ardment in addition to continual
japanese infentry attacks.
Since March "a, when the enemy
envelCped the city, the seasoned
Chinese defe hders fought an un-
equal battle They had no planes
or guns TO counter the enemy aerial
and artillery power, but were def
initely superior in every clash with
the Japanese ground attackers.
Despite the fierce resistance, the
japanese managed to enter the city
through its northwest gates and
hold the outskirts. A Chinese coun-
terattack on March 81 drove them
out again.
That night, a small Chinese force
withdrew into the eastern Fart Of
the town behind the Rangoon-
Mandala" railway. This manueVer
paved the way for the eventual Chi
nese break through to the east of
the city.

ARMY IN OUR DESERT

(RiverSide Press)
OffSetting in part the vast tragedies
of war are certain benefits. The devel-
opmant Of the airplane in World War
and the further advance of aircraft in
the present conflict for the ultimate
good of mankind are such benefits They
are negligible in contrast to humanity's
suffering during War-but they are often
of tremendous consequence in later years.
Therefore when the Army announced
that it was organizing a desert corps,
with an original strength of 5000 troops,
to be centered in the eastern desert dis
trict Of Riverside county, there was an
acknowledgment among county residents
that there was an obvious benefit aSSO-
ciated with this military move
For Years Riverside county has antic-
ipated the development of its vast eX-
panse Of rugged desert lands, which hold
extensive ore deposits but which have
been so inaccessible as to MAKE CONNER
clal development impractical
With upwards from 5000 troops in the
area, it is certain that routes of access
will be developed in the region which
in the past haVa been only dreams Of
fantasy. And when peace comes and
commerce returns to normal, these roads
will insure the growth of the region.
1t is noted that Iron Mountain was
designated as one of the sub-bases of the
new desert corps. Iron Mountain, it is to
be observed, is in the very center of the
mineral district which is proposed to be
the source of the iron ore for the steel
mill to be situated in the nearby Fontana
district
If the Army is to have base at Iron
Mountain, it will require roads; if roads
are there. then a district which has been
difficult to reach and impossibue of de-
velopment will be readily accessible for
commercial USE if commercial develop
ment is feasible. it is certain to occur be-
cause there is not another such undevel-
oped iron ole reservoir in the nation as
exists in our own county near iron Noun
