the boys who lost their lives on
that quiet Sunday morning two
years ago and to rededicate
themselves to the task that lies
ahead.

On one advance up-coast, our
contingent got lost in the jungle.
The trail was cruel. We had ford
ed one river Is times. We had
spent nearly two hours crossing
one morass in slime and water
above our hips. When it rained,
which was often, all equipment
had to be covered.
EXHAUST RATIONS
At night we slept restively.
The monotone of pouring rain
was broken only by the roaring
of planes overhead and the
wheeling of mosquitoes for the
attack.
We had even reduced our &c"
rations, but they gave out even
tuafly. AS I ate the last bit, l
thought of my mothers admon-
ition when l was a youngster:
Some day you'll be glad to
nave what you nave TO eat now.
She was right, as usual.
We got out of the jam by fol-
lowing a river dow , to the sea.
AT small mission there we
found another unit which gave
us place to sleep and our first
real meal in three days.
Although we could see their
air patrols every day and occas-
ionally heard distant bombing by
our own planes, we had every
reason to believe our own ad-
vance still had not been detect
ed.
We wanted to keep it that way.
We had whipped the jungle and
were knocking at Buna's gates.
One more step forward and we
would close with our real enemy
the Japanese.

know, because l have just
come back from there-the first
American civilian to return
since our soldiers took over a
major role in pushing the Japa-
nese across the mountains and
jungles to the sea at Buna.
AS an accredited war photog-
rapher, I accompanied our forces
from the time they left Port
Moresby until, sweeping up the
northeast coast, they closed their
side of the trap on the enemy.
From the very first it was ap-
parent that there were to be no
heroics about the job. When the
Japanese, last fall, pushed to
within 35 airline miles of Port
Moresby, the hardest thing we
all had to do was wait.
So we waited in and around
Port Moresby for marching or
ders. Work was plentiful. Sup
plies had to be unloaded and dis
tributed. Living quarters were
improved constantly. There was
training to adapt our men to
mountain jungle conditions they
would have to meet.
JAP RAID A RELIEF
Our u. E. Engineers, many of
them Negroes, were busy cut
ting Jeep trails through virgin
jungles and mountains to our
jumping off point. The only re-
lief from mosquitoes, flies, heat,
rain and work was the daily Jap
air raid.
Meanwhile, the Australians
were driving the Japanese back
up the trail and across the noun
tains. We heard Kokoda had
fallen and then, after Austral:
ian Commands entered Coma,
we got the signal to start.
This was real war-minus the
shooting. There were no Japan
csc. There was no sudden death.
But neither was there any sun,
nor water to drink, nor rest, for
long hours which often added
up to days.
There was only the intermin-
able struggle with the jungle.
Every foot was won with terri
fic exertion. With heavy knives
the men hacked and chopped

Cubs Are Reported
Seeking Derringer

CHICAGO, Jan. 21-R-Big
Paul Derringer, Cincinnati Red
pitcher for 10 seasons, may find
himself wearing a Chicago Cub
uniform this season. Reports cir
culating here say the Cubs want
him and the Reds would be will
ing to part with him. The hitch,
these reports add, is that the
Reds desire a left hand hitting
outfielder, of which the Cubs
feel they have none to spare. =

through dense, matted vines and
under growth. They struggled
along with field packs through
thick, sharp kunai grass, seven
to eight feet high, which stings
hands and face. They forged
through treacherous, foul-smell-
ing swamps where sludgy goo
weighted down feet.
A mile in two hours was max
ing good time. At the start, rest
periods were 10 minutes out of
every 60. This was soon revised
to 10 minutes in every 80, and
still wasn't enough.
And there were other things.
Mosquitoes which bored in like
Stukas, flies in swarms, rain
which streamed down prodigal-
ly. Streams and deep, rushing
crocodile-infested rivers had to
be crossed and recrossed dozens
of times. And rarely was there
dry place to sleep or anything
but strongly chlorinated water to
drink.
All were rested. Our next
move would be to stab north
ward at the under side of Buna,
where the Australian were al
ready closing their arm of the
pincers.
HOME COOKING RECALLED
So skillfully had the Ameri-
cans moved into position that
the Japs had no idea we were
there.
Hoping to run into action
which would make good picture
material, / started going out
with our patrols. Like the SOL
diers, l wore a green camouflage
uniform. My cameras went along
in duffle bag.
1t was typical jungle. On my
first patrol we covered only Is
miles in two days. After the first
two or three hours soldiers light
ened their packs.
At night we fashioned our
own beds. The base was two SIX
inch-wide logs laid parallel the
width of a pallet. Across these
went branches and twigs. 1t was
the only way to avoid awaken
ing with your head under water.
Our men INDUCED in some
good-natured gripping when the
going got too tough. But most of
the time they talked of what
they would like to be doing back
home. Mothers cooking was the
preferred topic. Many men had
painted names OF wives, child
rem and sweethearts on rifle
butts and helmets.

New Laws Go Into
Effect On June 1

Under the Maryland Constitu-
ton, which sets June as the
effective date for legislation passed
by the General Assembly unless
otherwise provided, the State has
on its statute books today several
hundred new laws, some of which,
it is confidently believed, will go
far towards providing a solution
for many of today's problems.
In the tax field new law pro-
vides for continuous Statewide
assessment of property for tax
purposes, and sets up an Appeals
Tax Court in some of the counties.
In the field of transportation a
new Motor Vehicles Code governs
all phases of the law dealing with
the ownership or operation of
automobiles or trucks. This law,
based on the uniform code pre-
pared by the National Safety
Council, has been hailed as for
ward-looking legislation by many
experts throughout the country.
In the field of conservation are
new laws giving the Tidewater
Fisheries Commission broader
powers for the planting of seed
oysters, as well as authorizing
regulation and control of the crab
bing industry. Another law pro-
vides for establishment of forest
conservancy areas with regular
Boards authorized to promote
forestry and numbering.
Tobacco growers of the State are
expected to benefit from new
legislation regulating the sale and
handling of leaf tobacco.
In the field of unemployment
compensation, Maryland now has
authorization for experience rat
ings for employers with good en-
ployment records, plus a liberali-
cation of unemployment compen-
sation payments.
