COMMANDOS PICKED

Gen. Macarthur Pilots Are
Smashing Jap Planes in
New Guinea

BY FRANCIS L. MCCARTHY
United Press Staff COrrespOndentC
General MacArthur's Head
quarters, Australia, May /. -
(UP) - Commando units
are being trained in the
Allied forces in Australia on
a considerable" scale, Lieu
tenant General Sir Thomas
Blamey, commander Of Allied
land forces in the southwest
Pacific revealed today.
Biamey indicated that the Com
tnando units, selected from picked
men Of the UiiAtec EfAfes and Alls~
tralian forces, were expected 70
play q big part in the fast forming
plans for the United Nations Of
fensive, which must strike first at
the japanese invasion zones north
east and northwest Of the conti-
nent.
At his first press conference,
Blamey said the Allied forces were
determined to take the offensive
and were pointing steadily toward
the moment when they would strike.
But there is also determination
not to do this until we are ready and
convinced of our capacity to carry
it out successfully" he said.
Second Front Problems
"All advocacy Of a second front
is wrongly based right now. It Is
the determination of Allied leaders
to establish such a front when we
are certain It will not be a waste
but that we shall be able to make
a good job OF It,"
Explaining the organization OF
the Allied forces, Blamey said he
hoped a great many American ofIi-
GERS would be given operationaI
commands.
He said he did not favor indis-
criminate scrambling OF American
and Australian personnel and that
the mingling would be confined to
the high command and big forna-
tionS.
He explained, for instance. that
an American division under its own
major general might be included
In an Australian army corps OF
several divisions, but that gener-
ally speaking American troops
would work under American COM
manders and regimental and bat-
talon units OF Americans and AUS
tralians would be kept intact.
He said equipment would not be
pooled, because the troops were
trained TO use their own types Of
weapons.
He added that army air corps
cooperation was already well nndsg
way,
japanese Reinforced
Discussing the strategic situation
he said the japanese had definitely
reinforced their men on the north
eastern side.
Port M0Fesby and Darwin, he said,
were threats To the Japanese bases
IN New Guinea and TinoF and that
Increased japanese activity meant
the enemy had some new plan IN
operation,
II might be that the Japanese
hoped 10 Selze Allied ontp0sts; II
might be that they meant 20 try
70 cut the supply line from the
United States, he suggested,
I'VE are building up our forces
IN these areas and We are now Is

Euac Walton Auxiliaries
Are COnserUutiOnists
BY Frances Lide.

If you're talking to a member
Of the Women's Auxiliary, Izaac
Walton League, don't make the
mistake of assuming that she
Is necessarily 'flsherwoman."
"Conservationist" is the term
as the auxiliary is forced to
point out time and again.
Still young-it celebrated it's
second anniversary recently
this women's group furthers ef-
forts of the Izaac Walton League
to restore the outdoor America
of our ancestors"
Each member pledges her laid
and support in the protection
and restoration of Americas
wood waters and wild life" She
also promises to help increase
opportunities for outdoor recre-
alton and to safeguard public
health: to hunt and fish in &C
cordance with the law and to
respect the property rights of
Others"
The war temporarily has
curbed the program in some di-
rections, but meetings are held
monthly. In the summer they
are usually outings. Winter ses-
sions are more formal, featuring
speaker on a subject related
to conservation.
The group also has given sew
eral noney-raising parties-pro-
ceeds being turned over to the
Red Cross, the USO, the Navy
Relief, China Relief and the
Blood Bank.
Formed originally to meet
social need, the Washington aux
iliary developed from plans for
the leagues national convention
held here last year. Local Izaac
Waltonians-determined to make
a success Of the first convention
away from Chicago-called in a
group of women to see what could
be done to help entertain wives
accompanying their husbands.
Up to that time, members say,
wives at conventions were like
stray sheep-no place to go and
no one to care"
So we'll did the local unit full
fill its purpose that the national
auxiliary soon was chartered.
Membership, however, is not
limited to wives or relatives Of
those in the mems chapter.
Mrs. John c. Bell is the new
president of the Washington
auxiliary, succeeding Mrs. Lewis
Radcliffe. The first president of
the unit-when it was on a tenn
