NEW YORK, Nov ia little
speck in the vast Pacific is the most
formidable barrier to the Allies
eventual thrust at the heart of ia
pan.
This shield is the sea fortress
known as Truk, q naval base be-
lieved to be as nearly impregnable
as any in the world and so located
that any attempt to assault Japan
or her holdings on the East China
coast must be highly dangerous as
long as 1t flies the flag of the Rising
Sun.
Truk's effectiveness as a shield for
Japan's East Asiatic sphere prob
ably will be tested shortly by the
mighty new forces the United States
has concentrated in the Pacific.
There is little doubt that the pres
ent Allied drives converging on Ra-
baul, on New Britain, are prelimi-
narles to smash at Truk.
Truk actually is not one island but

II didn't see a single torpedo

1t. Comdr. Donald White of New
York City and Ridgewood, N. j., said
the Japanese attack on the task
force was SO amazingly unsuccessful
because of poor attack methods and
lack of organization which made
the planes easy game for the Amer
leans.
Comdr. White, who led one tor
pedo squadron against the Japanese
sea force at Rabaul, said some of the
fighter pilots shot down as many as
six planes.

Comdr. Massey said the American

cloud hung over much Of the harbor
and the Japanese ships ran for pro-
lection in it.
Dive bombers plunged upon tar

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC ALLIED
HEADQUARTERS, Nov. l3.-The
several score persons from San
Francisco to New York who told me
emphatically that Gen. Douglas
MacArthur's Southwest Pacific COM
mand is receiving great increases in
war supplies and men. are mistaken
But it required $500 mile voyage
to make sure. Their constant rep
etition of the phrase, But Mac
Arthur is receiving much more now"
almost convinced me they might be
right, although I had left the
generals headquarters only a short
time before.
Only few short talks with key
men and common soldiers were
needed to learn that the constant
pleas for more men and more sup
plies, voiced for more than a year
haven't changed the situation mate
rally.
300 Planes Total Strength.
MacArthur's own headquarters
after the raid on the Japanese fort
ress at Rabaul in October, gave one
clue. 1t was the largest raid ever
staged by 1t. Gen. George c. Ken
ney's 5th Air Force in the South
west Pacific and approximately 300
planes took to the air to dump $50
tons of bombs on that New Britain
base.
The communique announcing the
raid said, every appropriate plane
was used" This meant the great
majority of planes able to take the
air on raid of that distance-ap
proximately 1000 miles from the
farthest participating Allied base
were used.
But the 300 figure looks small
compared with the thousand plane
raids launched against Germany
from Britain. Even the Indian
theater announced recently that
$4,000 tons were dropped on the
japanese in a single month for an
average of about 400 tons day.
Macarthur never has had suffi-
cient planes even to approach India S
monthly figure. His biggest single
raid was so tons short of India S
daily average.
1t was difficult during three
months leave in the United States
to determine the basis for the fixed
opinions of Midwesterners and East
