Bending over backwards not to of fend the Nazis, the bulk of the Irish press seems positively pro-Nazt to a reader used to the Allied press. AL lied oomnuniques are treated as "claims"-lnuch as we would treat a German communique announcing the capture of Kansas City.
 German claims often take head line precedence over Allied claims. Press censorship is extremely rigid. Anything which might be called propaganda by the furthest stretch of imagination Is forbidden. I was told that speeches of such import ant democratic spokesmen as Secre- tary Hull have been blue-penciled by Fires press censors.
 DOUBLE.TALK
 Perhaps the most difficult trend for a non- -Irishman to fathom is the campaign to spread the Irish language. You'd have thought there were too many languages in the world already. Yet all official signs, including street signs, are printed in both English and Irish. Many shops have signs in the windows: Remember the patriot dead-speak Irish, buy Irish" Even the Ameri- can comic strips have summaries in Irish below them to encourage youngsters to learn 1t.

Suggests Variety Ration
For Feeding Show Calves

Boys and girls with calves in All
club projects will need to push their
animals along if they hope to have
them big and fat enough to show
advantageously. Many calves of ex-
cellent type and shape fall behind
some palmer but fatter calves in the
show ring. Since full feeding for 8
or 10 months is necessary to put on
sufficient finish, some variety in
the ration is helpful because of
such long feeding period.
Alex Edgar, beef cattle herdsman
at the University Of Illinois college
of agriculture, suggests the ration
he uses to fatten show steers. Ed
gar brings his calf gradually to
full feed, then twice a day he feeds
all the calf will clean up within an
hour. His mixture consists of 500
pounds of cracked yellow corn, 300
pounds of whole or rolled oats, 100
pounds of bran and 100 pounds Of
pea-sized linseed meal.
For roughage Edgar feeds about
four pounds of clover or mixed hay
daily, about all the calf will eat.
He prefers this to alfalfa hay,
which sometimes causes b1oat and
scours. Although he did not sweeten
the feed with dried beet pulp during
the past summer as in some pre-
vlous years, the calves stayed on
feed as well as ever and have
reached their usual high degree Of
finish. He does not mix salt with
the feed but keeps it always avail
able separately. !, /, 49, =,

JUNGLE FIGHTING
BY Ira WOlfart

ny Ara WOuart
(WNU Feature-Through special arrange
ment with Golfers Weekly
We could have taken Munda air.
port in single day by frontal as
sault, as we had taken Henderson
Field on Guada1canal. The Japs
would have scattered into the jungle.
But that would have meant another
Guadalcanal, another six months OF
jungle fighting. So we came in be-
hind the Japs to herd them down
onto the open air6eld and finish
them there swiftly, in blitz.
The beginning was jungle. The
jungle of New Georgia is so thick it
seems like an animal crouched 81
lently against the earth waiting to
kill you.
It is very quiet inside the jungle.
Not many animals live in it. They
can't see to kill or to run away
from being killed and they choose
more open woods.
But it is a place of death all the
same. The plants are locked in
silent struggle with each other. They
suck each others blood and stran-
gle each other with feshless
strength. Life is being srnothered
everywhere there, all the time.
Silence of Death.
The silence of the jungle is the 81
lence of death. The Japs there were
silent, too, when we landed. There
were 5000 or 1000 of them, living
the last days of their lives and they
were very quiet, like men praying
to themselves.
The jungle here grew out Of q
swamp. The mud began abruptly
at the edge Of the sand. Over the
mud was a network of vines and
brush. A shoe made the mud open
like a mouth and, when the shoe
was pulled out, the mud sucked like
a mouth.
Suck. scrape, squash. That was
the blitz marching. The first shots
came unexpectedly and from all
around, from ground we had just
walked over, too. The enemy was
in front of us and on the side of us
and shooting us through the wall
we had our backs against.
The shooting came in spatters
and angry little tears as if the Japs
knew what they were shooting at.
They were shooting at our area, but
don't think they could see, any
more than we could, anything to
shoot at.

8Y THE LEADING WAR CORRESPONDENTS 49,

49,
first night on New Georgia, it was
still raining. The darkness black
ened until it was so black that you
could not see your hand in front
of your face. You felt blinded. The
effect of the blackness was so stun
ming that you couldn't tell whether
your eyes were open unless you
gaped them wide enough to hurt.
I gaped my eyes and made them
hurt, wanted to be sure they would
see what could be seen. There were
curious birds scattered through the
area where we were. They well
coined the night with yelping little
banks. Some were close at hand
and some were quite far off. They
sounded like puppy dogs, but not ex-
actly; more like men initiating pup
py dogs.
Slept in Water.
The water was several inches deep
in our foxhole. I was using my jun
gle pack as a pillow, but in a little
while the water crept up about it
and got into my ears. I took off
my poncho and wadded it up and
placed it under my head. But the
rain kept falling and after another
while took off my helmet and rest
ed my head on that to keep the wa
ter out of my ears. lay that way
until dawn with the warm, sticky,
yellow water pudding and swirling
across my chest and up to my chin.
Time does not pass on a night like
this. 1t inches through the mind
like a black snake. When the dawn
came, stood up i'm the fOxhole.
Muddy water dripped off me and
there were streaks and clumps of
thick mud all over me.
1t rained all that day without stop
ping. The men again fought a will
O'-the-wisp enemy who was never
seen and who, when charged, was
not there-except for a few dead.
AT nightfall, it was still raining. The
men dug into the mud and lay there
i'm holes that were open to the rain
and to the night and to the Japs.
This fantastic rear-guard action
kept up for IS days and Is nights.
It got to seem like horror play.
The men slept in patches and bits
and in the daylight rose, fatigued, to
advance.
From a military point of view,
there was no orthodox sense to all
this. The objective of rear guard
is to slow the enemy and kill as
many of him as possible before he
reaches the point where you have
to stand and fight. Jap rear guards
would have killed lot more Ameri-
cans if, instead of knitting into the
foxholes they found, they had thrown
grenades into them. They would
have had a lot more time for killing
if they had not wasted so much time
retrieving their dead and wounded
and cleaning up the evidence after
each fight.

Fight 10 Block
Tax Compromise

WASHINGTON, May 81 QNS)
With the House scheduled 10
act tomorrow, three ranking Demo-
Gratis on the tax-writing ways
and means committee today re-
Ivealed they would fight the pend
ing pay-aS-you-go compromise in
an effort 10 get the lower branch
TO reject il.
They are Representatives Cooper
of Tennessee, Disney Of Oklahoma
and Dingell of Michigan. all three
of whom opposed the legislation
when it was being drafted by a
I14-man Senate-HouSe conference
committee OF which they we're
members.
Although House adoption Of the
compromise is regarded as certain,
Cooper nevertheless said:
II am opposed 10 the bill and
shall speak against it,"
Disney and Dingcll disclosed
they would Join Cooper. II was
a scathing speech by Disney which
was credited with defeat of the
Ruml tax plan two months ago
when the House lacked only four
votes of adopting IT,
This Is nothing but the Ruml
plan reduced by one fourth"
said Disney today. I'm times
like these when a sound fiscal
policy was never needed more,
must oppose such utterly un-
sound legislation"
Despite the announced opposition
OF the three ranking Democrats,
Rep. Doughton I'd Of North Caro-
lima. chairman of the ways and
means committee, predicted favor
able action by the House tomorrow.
