keeping the 'ruIe." Most of the
japanese simply didn't know what
hit them" Typical was the fate of
a Japanese patrol which was spot
ted moving down river - they ap
parently believed the nearest en-
envy to be days march away. But
a party of Fijian5 was in ambush
on the river bank and every man of
the patrol was killed by the Fijian's
first vollev.
The idea of training Fijians as
commandos was put forward Joint
ly by a district commissioner and a
senior Fijian chief who had served
IN World War l. They quickly inter-
ested the government in the prof.
ect, and soon the formation of
commando units began. There were
SO many volunteers that the auth

New Zealand instructors found
the Fijians apt pupils and discov-

In the art of concealment. One
story tells how, as part of their
training, the Fijians were required
to make a night attack on the
camp OF some European troops. No
bullets were to ! e used, but the
F1Jians were given pieces of chalk
with which to make cross on any
object they managed to reach un-
observed, and which they could
therefore claim to have DESTROYED.

Poor Morgenthau!
Secretary Of Treasury Unable to Buy Single Bond
in Coming Campaign Prohibits Him,
u s. Treasurer, From Investing
- Penalties for Violation.

q written opinion: Yes, IL was all
right for Mr.. Morgeanthau's chill
dren to buy these bonds, but there
was q stipulation: They must buy
them with their own money. Their
father could not purchase them for
the account Of his children, they
said.
Then what about Mrs. Morgen-
thaup Was she allowed to buy
Government bonds2 the Secretary
inquired. Randolph Paul, general
counsel for the Treasury, gave an
opinion on that: IF your wife uses
her own separate funds, that is,
funds in which you have no in
terest, and II she acts on her own
responsibility and without any
previous arrangement or UNDER
standing with you, am inclined to
the view that q purchase Of United
States Savings Bonds by your wife
would violate no Federal statute.
However, 1t appears to me that the
purchase might result In criticism
because Of ethical implication.
