MacAfhur's S Men Send
$4,000, Back Home

BY the Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
AUSTRALIA. Nov. 2 CDelayed) -.
Gen. Douglas MacArthurs soldiers
have sent back nearly $4,000, 900 OF
their pay to the Government and to
their families.
And. says Col. Louis w. Maddox,
finance officer for the United States
Army forces in the Far East, COM
bat troops have contributed more
OF 1t on man-to-man basis than
their untried comrades.
The money has gone back to the
United States in the form of War
bonds, Government insurance, SOL
dier deposits and allotments.
War bond sales, Col. Maddox re-
ports, are comparable with those OF
other war areas, and more than "a
per cent of the soldiers in this the
ater are insured for an average of
nearly $500.
Even in the most advanced posi-
tions and remote fronts soldiers get
their pay promptly on the first of
the month. When an invasion force
goes out on mission, a finance task

Overseas Service
Limit Under Study,
Army Aide Says

Efforts to formulate definite
policy limiting overseas service Of
soldiers have been revealed by a
War Department official. who said
that at present men sent to Pacific
theaters OF war are in for tour of
duty for an indefinite period.
The disclosure of War Depart
ment attempts to Ak some policy on
the length of overseas service came
yesterday in a letter to Representa-
tive Rogers, Republican, of Massa-
chusetts from John w. Martyn, ad-
ministrative assistant in the depart
ment. Mr. Martyr said this problem
had been under constant study since
Pearl Harbor, but that there was one
insurmountable obstacle "insuffl-
cient shipping facilities"
The letter was in reply to one
written by Mrs Rogers to both Sec
retary OF War Stimson and Secre-
tary of the Navy Knox after she had
received requests from eight VIM
chester (Mass) mothers whose sons
had been stationed in the Pacific for
the last 81 months.
Secretary Knox informed Mrs
Rogers that sailors were likely to be
given furloughs home after 10
months of hazardous duty af1oat or
in outlying stations"
The War Department spokesman
said present policy gives the COM
mander of any area discretion as to
when any individual should be sent
home
Primary emphasis" Mr.. Martyr
said, is placed upon rotating per-
sonnel from station to station within
the theater In order to provide relief
for those on duty at remote and
small stations, as well as for those
serving under severe climatic con-
ditions
Shipping conditions in the South
west Pacific area are such that there
will probably be no return Of units
to the United States under the rota =
ton policy for an indefinite period. .
He added that the same situation
applied in the South Pacific area.

Poker Player Gets Answer
On Hand From Eisenhower
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press
GREENSBURG, Pa, Nov. 10
Simon Davis, who wrote Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower telling him
about a hand of poker in which he
called for and received three kings
and a pair of jacks, got this reply,
dated October l9, to his request for
odds on such q deal:
although I'm afraid my power of
gauging percentages In filling poker
hands is bit overrated, I do like to
figure them in my spare time. I
haven't had time to go too deeply
in the exact figures of your chances
of drawing three kings and a pair
of jacks-but I'd say they are about
l in 1,082, 900 times.
ANY mathematician will prove
that I'm completely wrong, but any
way don't count on doing it in a
pinch"

EUROPE:
Bombs Moue Factories

AS Allied bombers continued to
plummet destruction on Axis Euro
pean industrial and transportation
centers, evidence mounted that the
Nazis were seeking to cushion the
impact of these raids by moving
their war industries to less vulner-
able spots in Hungary, Czechoslo-
vakia and Austria.
The dispersal of German industry
eastward was further indicated by
the fact that Allied reconnaissance
had disclosed no effort to repair or
clear such key installations as the
Focke-Wuf aircraft works in Brem-
en- or the Renault plant near Paris
wrecked by Allied bombs weeks ago.
Grimly and steadily, however, the
Allied airmen continued their mis-
sion of disaster as Axis city after
city was checked off the schedule.
Examples of this thorough job were
Dusseldorf and Dortmund, coal and
transportation centers of northwest
ern Germany, where 1000 tons of
bombs were dropped on successive
nights by the RAF. The munitions
making city OF Essen was likewise
blasted again, while daring RAF
Mosquito bomber pilots penetrated
to the central German city Of Jena,
home of the Zeiss factories making
optical instruments for the Nazis.
Meanwhile, invasion's prelude was
paced by a series of port-wrecking
raids by U. S. and British planes
from French Africa on Italian ship
ping cities.

CHINA:
Jap DriUes Menace

Chinese official observers had fire.
quently warned United Nations head
quarters that a collapse of their re-
sistance against japan was possible
unless Allied air and military aid
was speeded up.
The stark truth of these warnings
became evident as a four-pronged
Japanese drive along the Yangtze
river had reached within only 275
miles of Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek's capital of Chungking.
Doggedly the Chinese defenders
had contested every mile of territory
with the invaders, even winning To-
cal successes in some areas, notably
Ichang where Chiang's soldiers had
blunted the enemy drive.
But the threat of Nippon's might
was still poised within striking dis
tance of Chunglzing and the Allied
high command still faced the prob
lem of abating that threat.

NEW DIKES':
To Stem, Initiation

From the obscurity in which his
retirement had shrouded him, Leon
Henderson, former OPA director,
emerged to warn the nation that
"another set of dikes" is needed to
dam what he called the rising tide
of threatened imitation in the United
States.
''New dikes, new types of controls,

WHITE HOUSE:
african Precedent

The late Booker T. Washington
had been a dinner guest of Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt in 1901,
but Edwin T. Barclay, president of
Liberia, was the first member Of
the Negro race to spend the night
in the White House as the nations
guest.
Head of the Negro republic Of
Liberia founded by repatriated AT
rican freemen after the Civil war,
Barclay was repaying President
Roosevelt's visit to him after the
Casablanca conference last January.
Including his meeting with high gov
ernment officials and members Of
the cabinet, as well as his address
before the house and senate, Presi-
dent Barclay received the full hon
ors accorded all top-ranking foreign

RUSSIA:
Red Po,Uer Rises

After the Nazis had tested the
Reds mettle on four separate Sec
tors from Velili Luki on the north
to the Caucasus on the south, the
Russians themselves provided the
fireworks by hurting $50, 900 infantry
and tank men in a vast assault
against the Axis Kuban lines in the
Caucasus.
While early Russian accounts of
this movement were characteristic
cally laconic, a Berlin radio dispatch
conceded that the first Russian
waves had thrust the German lines
back more than mile on the Kuban
front protecting Novorossisk and
added that Nazi defenses were TAX
ing terrific battering everywhere
along their last remaining Caucasus
foothold. Berlin said the Reds en-
ployed 10 divisions, at least ITO tanks,
200 planes and strong artillery
forces.
Whether this Russian move herald
ed the long-awaited summer battle
was still a matter of conjecture
among observers.
