Coleman Jennings. chairman of
the s4,800,0O drive. said yester-
day as he announced that only
It's per cent of the goal has been
contributed since the drive start
ed October 5. Scheduled to end
yesterday. the campaign has
been continued until Mr.. Jen-
nings is sure every one in the
city has been asked to con-

The eyes of the world are on
Washington Mr.. Jennings said
German and japanese propagan-
dists would love to tell their people
that Washington failed to meet the
needs of its own fighting men, of its
Allies and of it's citizens on the home
front"
In addition, he said. veterans ap-
pearing at fund rallies here have
told solicitors bluntly that morale
on the war fronts will suffer seri-
ously from failure of fund drives at
home.
Bitterness at the Front.
Men in the foxholes talk bit
terly,' Mr. Jennings quoted the vet
Grams as reporting, when civilian
drives to meet servicemen needs fail
miserably or take long time to ac-
complish.
They expect us to back them up
he said.
Mr.. Jennings added that War fund
drives in Toronto and Montreal,
Canada, are already oversubscribed
Canadians have been at war longer
and carry heavier tax burden than
Americans, he pointed out, and yet
completed their War fund drives in
short time.
Among cities which have gone
over quota in the United States, he
said, are Houston. Tey; Milwaukee,
Wis; Dayton, Ohio, and Atlanta,
Ga.
The talks of veterans have already
had some effect on the drive here,
Mr.. Jennings continued. Solicitors

Gen. Douglas MacArthur's commu-

a 22-ship japanese convoy to the
house of representatives, then add
cd:
"I'..;i sure the house would like for
ne to express to Macarthur and
the gallant forces under his dircc-
ton our pride and admiration at
this success. I do not know how
lone the war will last, but we may
be certain that it will not be longer
because of an deficiency in our
fighting forces OF because OF the
skill with which they are led.
Never before on so many fronts
has there been cause for such JUS
tification of confidence in the final
results
Arthur w. Fadden, former prime
minister, replied: This is not only
pleasing news for the people of Aus

Fire in Fighting
Against Marines

NEW YORK, March 4-CUPD -
A 22-year-old Brooklyn corporal
who weathered the bloodiest fight
ing of the Guadalcanal campaign
the Battle of Raiders Ridge -
said today that the Japanese used
liquid fire during the height of
the engagement.
Here for treatment at the Brook
lyn naval hospital for wounds he
received in the Raiders Ridge ac-
ton, Cpl. John Joseph Conroy said ;
I'm the Ridge battle, the night
was continually pierced by screams,
followed by the weird, savage shout
'Banzai.' Somewhere on our right
flank in the vicinity of the raiders
lines there would come a flash OF
light-then the screams The Japs
were using liquid fire.
But it only made us fight harder
afterward-to the Japs' sorrow
That place wasn't called bloody
knoll for nothing
Asked if the japanese really are
fanatics in battle, Conroy replied
"Tojo issued a proclamation to
this effect: On Sept. 16, the Japs
were to attack; on the 18th, Hend-
erson airfield was to be captured
on the 18th, all marines on Quad
alcanal were to be dead"
Then he added:
We'll, the Nips did attack us on
the 10th, but on the 18th, the field
was still ours. On the 18th, most
Of the marines were still alive but
most of the Japs were dead. 1t
