This is one of series of sketches
and commentaries by Bernard God
1Dfn, distinguished American portrait
artist.
"On this very island reported for my
first duty in the service. Truly that was
happy moment In my life," said 1t.
Gen. Hugh A. Drum as I sat in his
Office on Governors Island in New York
Harbor to make my sketch a short while
ago. A son of veteran soldier, the
man who has been intrusted with the
defense of the highly vital and densely
populated Atlantic seaboard, has seen
service in three wars and at Vera Cruz
and the Philippines.
Good soldier blood runs in his veins
His father, Capt. John Drum, was on
duty at Fort Brady, Mich, in 1879 when
Hugh A. Drum was born. Capt. Drum
was killed in action at San Juan Hill
in the Spanish American War.
BY a special act of Congress, Presi-
dent Mckinley was authorized to COM
mission in the Army four sons of officers
killed in action during the Spanish
American War and Hugh A. Drum was
offered one of these commissions. Then
18 years of age, young Drum accepted
the honor in memory of his father and
has given the Nation As years of con-
tinuous service ever since and has es-
tablished record which would have
made President Mckinley proud had he
lived to realize its .fulf1llment.
OF medium and sturdy build, Gen.
Drum carries himself with dignity be-
coming to q professional military man.
He has an oval head, large receding
forehead, long, thin, sensitive nose and
an exceedingly small, well-shaped mouth.
His silky hair, now graying, is not un-
attractive as 1t surmounts his ruddy
complexion. His eyes are gray-blue and
penetrating, his hands well shaped and
sensitive
The general gives you the impression
Of always looking shined up. His ra-
diant personality and good humor have
won for him host of friends both within
and without the service. He has a
friendly disposition and Arm manner
While you scarcely expect q soldier of
his experience to b interested In art

music and literature, these are his non
military attractions.
Gen. Drum was graduated from ST.
Xavier College in New York City and
was enrolled at Boston College preparing
for his entrance to the Military Academy
at West Point when he accepted his
commission from President Mckinley.
Shortly after joining the service he
served in the Philippines, and in 1900
was promoted to first lieutenant. In
1906 he became a captain and returned
to the Philippines, where he fought
against Aguinaldos insurrectionists and
won Silver Star Medal for gallantry
in action. He commanded a company
during the American occupation of Vera
Cruz, Mexico, in 1914. Gen. Pershing
selected him to join the small group
OF American officers to 60 to France with
the AEF commander in 1917 to organize
and train our American forces.
AS result of his outstanding work
he was promoted to colonel in July, 1918,
and to brigadier general in October of
the same year, when he was only 80
years of age. His rise from captain
to brigadier general in little more than
year had seldom been equaled in Army
history. AS Gen. Pershing's chief of
staff of the 1st American Army he Or
ganized our American forces which took
part in the Battle of st. Mihiel and
Meuse-Argonne.
Since the First World War he had
held many important commands. AS
deputy chief of staff under Gen. Mac
Arthur, he assisted in the creation OF
the General Headquarters Air Forces
and contributed to the strategical and
tactical planning which we see revealed
in the conduct of the global war today.
He served in Hawaii as the commanding
general and in Chicago as commanding
general OF the 9th Corps Area. In 1898
he assumed command of the I'd Service
Command. with headquarters in New
York City. After Pearl Harbor he re-
tanned command Of the 1st Army and to-
day commands the joint headquarters of
the Eastern Defense Command and the
LIST Army, in charge Of the Is Eastern
seaboard States from Maine to Florida.

There are those who believe that war

ing the labor shortage, particularly in
agriculture. If necessary, it is argued
they could be paid union rates with the
stipulation that a part of their earnings
be set aside and sent back to their home
land. The money would help to re-
habilitate families in Italy, providing a
nest egg for new start when the prison.
ers were returned.
At the end of his report Baruch said
emphatically that there were only three
ways out Of the crisis even after all DOS
sible manpower adjustments were made.
One was to increase the. efficiency of each
worker In industry. A second was to
scale down civilian life, cutting out all
frills and extras. And the third, which is
scarcely choice at all since 1t cannot be
considered until victory is won, is to cut
down the war program itself.

Pacific Front

The Toxic radio. in a gross under
statement of the situation Monday. told
the people of Japan that development of
the war situation hereafter warrants abb
solutely no optimism. 1t was pointed
out that the Americans were carving on
day and night raids without let-up in
the Solomons and New Guinea, in which
100 to 200 planes are employed.
Wednesday, the radio announced the
surrender of Italy and declared that the
Japanese government deems this most
regretful." However, the announcement
went on to say that Japan has resolved
to crush America and Britain to the
very end and thus put the Emperor "at
ease" The situation reverses that when
Japan undertook to defend herself. no
matter how deeply she had to push into
China to accomplish the defense. Now
her forces are going to crush Britain
and the United States, no matter how
far back she draws her extended lines
of conquest
In the actual fighting, the Japs in
the Lae-Salamaua area, numbering
some 10000, have been caught in a trap
by paratroopers who We're dropped to
block their path of escape to the junales.
Gen. Macarthur, passenger in one of
the planes taking part in the operation.
expressed his satisfaction with the
manner IN which the men were thrown
across the Japs only outlet and with the
dropping OF small artillery to bolster the
line.
In fact, Gen. Macarthur took personal
command OF the veteran Australian
troops who stand poised now to DESTROY
the enemy garrison. The Allies. striking
suddenly at Lac while the Japs were oc-
cupied at Salamaua, made a landing
just east of Lac, though under heavy
enemy plane attack. Many bombers.
escorted by IS fighters struck at the
task force engaged in the operation but
communicating P38s destroyed 21 Of
the enemy to the loss of two of the
Alghtnings. Two landing craft were
damaged by bombs and forced ashore.
Looming much larger in Japanese eyes,
the two boats were reported to Japan
as cruiser and six transports.
Tuesday the Markham Valley airfieId
OF the Japs was taken, to be followed by
the landing of the paratroopers and the
entrapment of the enemy.
An announcement by the Nevy De-
partment, detailing the action at Marcus
Island, which was the target of a sur
prise attack by a naval task force the
week before, declared that the island, less
than 1000 miles from Toxic, had been
thoroughly plastered with bombs and
that at least 80 per cent of its facilities
had been destroyed.
Otherwise the week was quiet in the
Pacific theater.

event in the attrition which has gone on
for months.
Still third theory was that the
United States Fleet was batting the
japanese main fleet to fight in the
northern Zone of equality" between
Paramushiro and Wake Island, where
both fleets would be equidistant from
their bases. Under these circumstances,
the United States Fleet might claim
superiority-or at least equality con-
dition that would not exist If the fleets
fought nearer the japanese home
grounds.
Appearance Of the United States Fleet
In northern waters also indicates the
strength Of the Macarthur forces in the
south, probably to the degree that his
air superiority removed much Of his for
mer dependence upon surface units.
Air raids on Paramushiro and Marcus
show that two anchors of the japanese
inner defense zone can be brought under
attack, although the Japanese mainland
itself still is out of reach Of bombers
operating from Pacific island outposts.
1t is along the loop OF Japans outer
defense line that some experts look for
major sir-sea operation, although it
may not come until developments in the;
European war make. units Of the British
fleet available. A possible line Of at
tack would involve simultaneous naval
operations by British and American
fleets, with the British striking through
the Indian Ocean at Rangoon and the
Americans swinging up. from Australia
and the Solomons. Y
Evening star., 1943-09-12

In the light of recent history, the
Battle of Midway, in June, 1912, was
more than United States naval victory
1t was the point at which Japan passed
from seven-month offensive to a stra-
tegy of defense.
Since that climactic battle of the car
riers, the forces of Macarthur, Niraitz
and Buckner have taken the initia tive
in the Pacific, from New Guinea and
the Solomons to the Aleutians and Par
amushiro.
Many observers believe the Pacific sit
uation now has been shaken down into
clear strategy pattern, with Japan
prepared to fight defensive war behind
two strong zones of protection, and
Allied leaders setting up the arc of at

casualties, captured prisoners, DESTROYED
munitions and oil dumps and wrecked
radio and meteorological equipment.
The island thus has changed hands for
the third time in the war, Germany
having seized 1t shortly after the out
break OF hostilities only to lose it about
two years ago. There has been nothing
to indicate that any large Allied gar
rison was on the island
Other than that one setback, the
Allies continued the same story which
is told week after week-devastating
bombing of German industrial cities.
Monday probably 700 bombers of the
four-engined type dropped between 900
and 1,5o0 long tons of bombs on the twin
cities OF Mannheim and Ludwigshafen
and American flyers followed up the
British night attack with further bomb
ing in daylight. The night attack was
the third successive night raid on the
continent, during which the Rhineland
and airflelds in Northern France and
Belgium were struck.
1t was reported Monday also that the
Germans are moving all civilians back
from a coastal strip SO miles long near
Montpelier and to have brought 10000
engineers into the area around Toulon
and Marseille to prepare against in
VaSion.
Tuesday Stuttgart and Munich were
heavily bombed and throughout the rest
Of the week minor targets were hit in
Northern France, Belgium and in the
German industrial areas.
Reports received in Sweden declare
that the havoc caused by the raids on
Berlin has been so great that the city
is without gas with which to cook and
that field kitchens have been established
to feed the people. At night, it is said,
the terror stricken population takes to
the Grunewald Forest. The approach
of winter makes the problem of shelter
for the people bombed from their homes
with the loss of their furniture, blankets,
heavy clothing and other property, in
creasingly serious. Many are described
as badly dazed by the effect of the huge
block busters which have rained down
on their capital.
