side road leading down the mountain
to Itogen. There were number of
Army trucks and buses and cars,
all moving slowly in our direction.
Curving steSply downward the
road came abruptly against a hill
side. A side road swung off to the
right, straight west. Army buses
were parked for a half mile along
it and the map showed it was a
dead end. Another road curved to
the left. The soldiers told us it
ended few hundred yards down
and that it led to the trail to San
Nicola and Tayug.
An American major was in charge
Of the soldiers, who were mostly
Filipino scouts and I tried to con-
vince him to take over our car,
which was no longer of any use to
us. I wrote out a receipt, dated
December %, 1912, received of
Carlos, one Ford sedan, 1888
model, reimbursement to be made
after the war" He was holding it
in his hand and looking at it, when
some one shouted, "Planes"
There were three of them, twin
engined Navy "96" bombers, flying
low and straight up the valley. The
soldiers scattered for cover Juan
and I ran a few yards down the
left-hand road. He scrambled up
the bank and I jumped to the left,
off the road. The slope was much

to drop. 1 grabbed brush, but it
tore out in my hands and then I
grabbed a rock and it held. The
planes looked us over and then went
on without dropping any bombs
or strafing. Juan came down and
gave me a hand to get back up to
the road
We went back to talk to the major
when a lieutenant colonel drove
down and called the major over to
his car.
What are you doing here? Your
orders were to go down the south
road from Baguio and point our
forces behind Lingayen Gulf"
Il started down. sir. but we ran
into Jap machine guns at the
bridges and turned back"
Where are your 75s?"
Some of them we destroyed by
pushing them into the rivers on the
south road. The others are here.
7 left them discussing what to do
next. Later learned that most Of
them were cut off in the hills,
where they were operating as
guerrillas for the next few months
and may possibly still be fighting.
We couldn't sell our car to the
major, so we drove on down the
left road. Around the bend we ran
into more busses and trucks. Sol
dies were pushing them over the
bank into a 250-foot ravine on the
left. We went through the car and
took the things we thought we
needed.
Carlos sprinkled some gasoline
on the car, and threw a lighted
match while Juan and I gave it a
push. Flames shot up as it crashed
over and down into the gully. Car
los said, "Adios, Fordcito."
We walked on down the road,
crossed a stream by jumping from
boulder to boulder, and started up
the path on the other side. Our
map showed that the trail we want
ed followed the course of the San
Nicholas River most of the way.

The next two days are a con-
fused tumble of impressions: wildly
beautiful vistas of terraced rice
fields and the river far beneath us;
heat and fatigue and hunger; the
blessings of cool streams flowing out
of the mountains every few miles,
where our fellow refugees stopped
to cook and rest, and where we
drank greedily and bathed our faces

NAZI PSYCHOLOGICAL
WARFARE

Beware of false rurnors about
Germany. The Germans, masters
of psychological warfare, are watch
ing every opportunity to take advan-
tage of American credulity. They
know that Americans are optimistic
by nature and that we are prone to
believe any story about miraculous
victories or fortunate events.
Apparently it was this method
of psychological warfare which
prompted the reports that Hitler
had been deposed in favor of mill
tary authorities.
1t has now been definitely estab-
lished that no such event took place
State department officials now say
fatty that the whole thing was a
false report, from beginning to end.
1t was so generally reported, how
ever, that they believe it must have
been prompted by Germany. The
motive in such a case would have
been to make Americans rush to
the conclusion that Germany was
tottering and the war was not far
from finished. This would have the
effect of weakening our bond drives
and similar efforts.
Note: The Nazi news report of
Hitler's ousting came via Spain.

TURKEYS AND THE ARMY


The army is beginning to wonder
if it hasn't over-extended itself on
the business of turkeys. 1t has ruled
that civilians may not buy turkeys
for their Thanksgiving or Christ
mas dinners-or for next Sunday S
dinner, for that matter-until the
army has acquired IL million pounds
for the armed forces overseas.
That sounded all right, until some
body in the quartermaster corps be-
gan figuring out what you could do
with II million pounds of turkeys.
For generous portions, you can fig
ure that 100 pounds of undressed
turkey will feed 100 men.
The number of men in the armed
forces overseas, including army, ma
wy, and marines, is around two mil
lion. Allow each man a pound of
turkey for Thanksgiving and anoth-
er for Christmas, and you reach the
total of four million pounds.
But the amount reserved for this
purpose is three times four million,
or II million pounds.
When certain food experts in the
quartermaster corps realized this,
they started to do some fast tele-
phoning. When last heard from,
they still didn't know what two mil
lion men would do with Il million
pounds of turkey-except eat 'em.

her love for her employer. 'His

letter goes on. Both of them were

feels that she will be as willing to
get divorce as he is. I am not

great deal of trouble. I see the rea-
son for that; it's not romantic, but
it's practical, and I think women
too often put their emotional de-
mands first and forget that man is
provider as well as a lover. So
we must wait until either his mother
in-law dies, which she may at any
time as she has a bad heart, or
until some circumstance makes his
divorce and our marriage possible.
viii you tell me what's wrong about

Boss Poses Problem.

sand yet, if the boss wants to be
friendly" q girl said to me many
years ago, what can you do? He
asks you to stay after hours to take
some letters, then he asks you if
you would mind having bite of
dinner with him, and then, if you
are seen, there are questions and
criticisms. A girl knows all the
time what his pleasant remarks and
kindly interest are leading up to-"
went on this wise young woman,
"but she has her job to consider,
too, and once the boss gets the no
ton that you are an unfriendly,
stiff little prude, you don't improve
your chances for promotion. So the
only thing to do" she concluded
cheerfully, ''if you find yourself in
an Office where all the girls warn
you that the boss is too susceptible,
is to get out and get yourself an
other job. But it's too bad" she
said, "that girls have to be bothered
that way. There ought to be some
way of letting the wives know what
goes on"
One tragedy about these affairs
with married men is that they keen
girls from happier and more natural
friendships with other men; friend
ships that might lead to marriage.

alton with married men in the office.

ARMY,s FAvoRITE FOODS

Since the Truman committees in
vestigation of food waste in the
army, the quartermaster corps has
been as frugal as a Dutch house
wife. Elaborate studies have been
made of what the soldiers eat and
what they leave on the plate, with
the idea of cutting down the per-
centage of garbage.
After watching the eating habits
of $4,000 soldiers at Chanute Field,
H., the quartermaster corps gave
each dish rating, according to its
popularity.
Roast chicken and apple pie rated
100. So did roast duck and roast
ham. But creamed ham rated only

NO TIRES FOR RUBBER CzAR

Col Bradley Dewey, who succeed
ed Big Bill Jeffers as rubber direc-
tor, says he wishes he could get
his hands on a set of synthetic
tires. He is now in charge of the
program which promises to produce
80 million synthetic tires by the end
of next year, but he is not able to
try synthetic tires on his own car.
st WISH" says Colonel Dewey,
"that OPA would let me have a set
of the new tires. I'd like to try
them out. I understand they skid
less than natural rubber Not that
I drive at skidding speeds, mind
you, but I'd like to see what they
would do.
''Some of the taxi drivers out in
Akron have new synthetic tires, and
they swear by them. But I'd like
to see what they would do for me-"
Reason for Dewey's inability to
get tires is that though he is in
charge of the entire program, he is
obliged to apply for tires through
OPA, like any other citizen. And
since his present tires are reason
ably good, he can't get any new
synthetic tires.
