CoL. CARLOS p. RoMULo,

COL. CARLOS p. ROMULO,
~ formerly publisher of chain
of newspapers in the Philippines,
was the last man out Of Bataan
before the surrender of the
valiant American and Filipino
defenders to the Japanese.
He spent four months in the
foxholes Of the peninsula and
the stone tunnel on Corregidor.
He was on General Mac
Arthur's staff and was with
Lieutepant General Wainwright
after General Macarthur left.
He was cited as a member OF
the units that planned and di-
rected the delaying actions that
made possible the withdrawal OF
the North and South Luzon
forces into Bataan and that
planned and directed the evacua-
ton of Manila.
1t was Colonel Romulo who
was heard daily by his people
over a crudely rugged radio on
Corregidor during the battle of
Bataan-"You are listening to
the voice of freedom!"-giving
them words of encouragement
in the struggle against the
brutal invader.
He left his 17-year-old son
fighting with the army on
Bataan.
OF his wife, Virginia, and her
possible fate, Colonel Romulo
prefers not even to think.
THE Japs had a price on his
L head because he was one of
their most implacable and ar
ticulate foes.
He was educated at Columbia,

Socialist Representative
Criticizes Dies Talk

Following Is a statement by Albert
Hamilton, Washington representa-
tive of the Socialist party. in answer
to the radio address last night by
Representative Dies:
MIR. Dies in his charge last night
that Socialists and other liberals in
the Government service were mis-
using their positions, himself mis-
used the authority granted him as
chairman of the House Committee
Investigating Un-American Activ-
tiles. In attacking Socialists, he is
attacking an American party much
older and far more respected than
he and his committee. OF course,
there are Socialists employed in the
Federal Government, as there are
Prohibitionists, various branches of
Republicans and Northern Demo-
Gratis.
Despite radio speech by Mr..
Dies, there is nothing illegal in the
employment of any of these people
by the Federal Government. If
some OF the quotations he credits
to Socialists in Government service
are American, then so are the
speeches and writings of Lincoln,
Jefferson and some of his own
congressional colleagues.
THE attack by Mr.. Dies on So
cialists and liberals of all kinds
makes one wonder whether he is
deliberately determined to aid the
Communists and Fascists. Nothing
must have delighted them more
than to know that Mr.. Dies was
attacking the people who in the
labor movement have fought every
effort of Communists and Fascists
to achieve control"

WiIheImshaven Hit
Again Without Loss
Of Raj Plane
Bombers Raid Germany
For Sixteenth Time
This Month
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 25.-RAF bomb
ers attacked the Nazi naval base
at Wilhelmshaven and detectives
in Western Germany last night
without the loss of a plane, it
was announced today.
Allied flyers last hit Wilhelms-
haven Friday night. The latest at
tack was the 10Th on Germany this
month.
The Air MiniStry's terse an
nouncement said:
Last night aircraft of the bomber
command made another attack ON
Wilhelmshaven.
Bombs were also dropped on OBJ
jectives in Western Germany. None
of our aircraft is missing"
The blow at Wilhelmshaven ap-
peared to assure the RAF new rec
ord for the number of tons of bombs
dropped on Axis targets in a single
month.
In single raid on the submarine
base at Lorient earlier this month
more than 1000 tons Of explosives
were dropped by Allied flyers, and
other forays promised to raise the
monthly average of $500 tons main
tanned in the record period of June
and July, last year.
At the same time came the off,
cial announcement this morning
that during darkness there has
been no enemy activity over Brit
ain"
The Berlin radio reported that
British planes were over both North
ern and Southern Germany last
night, and said the raiders caused
some damage and casualties in both
areas.

the Government and by the official
acts of the administration in pros
ecuting and outlawing the various
Nazi, Fascist and Japanese organ
izations which we exposed long
ago"
In the United States recently, Mr..
Dies continued. there has been a
trend toward totalitarianism.
Federal bureaucrats have been
gradually taking over the functions
Of State and local governments and
Transforming the latter into sub
serVient agencies OF the Federal
Government" he said.
Sees Congress Losing Power.
Congress and the courts have lost
much Of their constitutional power
and responsibility because some of
the bureaucrats have used the blank
check appropriation made by Con-
gresS and the vast delegations of au-
thority to the Executive as means of
increasing their own power at the
expense of Congress and the courts. 3"
emergency as confronts the Nation
today that the executive agencies OF
government be greatly expanded, he
said the committee is much con-
cerned over the possibilities that this
expansion may present new oppor-
tunities for n-American elements
to lnflltrate into the Government.
Some Of the Federal bureaus, Mr..
Dies charged, are directed by $50
claliSt bureauCrats. who are not in
sympathy with our American sys-
tenn. The presence of these So
ciallStic planners is not accidental" 4"
he said, ''It is the result of their
carefully laid plans to subvert the
American form of government. These
professional do-gooders long ago
saw in this expansion of bureaus a
long-awaited opportunity to impose
their socialistic schemes upon an un-
suspecting country"
A year ago, Mr.. Dies pointed out,
Congress appropriated 100000 to
be expended by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation in finding out what
Government employees belong to
subversive organizations. Though
the FBI did thorough job, Attor-
ney General Biddle, he declared,
has refused to submit to Congress
the FBI reports concerning the
subversive affiliations of several
thousand employees, including the
l,124 employees whose names and
records our committee submitted to
the Attorney General at his request" ;"
Other Investiga tions.
1nvestigative agencies of the Civil
Service Commission and other Fed
eral agencies, according to infor-
nation received by Mr.. Dies, also
have submitted reports on hundreds

Dies Sees Committee
Guarding u. 5. From
Fascist Bureaucrats
Tells Forum Listeners
Drive on All Domestic
Foes Will Be Pressed

The House Committee on Un-
American Activities, which recently
was extended for another two years,
can render greater service to the
Executive and the country by ex-
posing radicals who would slip into
Government positions" to promote
their aim of converting our Govern
ment into a Fascist bureaucracy,
Chairman Martin Dies declared in
the National Radio Forum last
night. The forum, Blue Network
feature originating in Station
WMAL, was arranged by The Star.
-Four four and half years it has
been the duty of our committee to
discover and unmask the domestic
foes Of this country" Mr.. Dies said.
During that period we have inves-
tigated and exposed more than a
hundred Nazi, Fascist and japanese
organizations.
"As a result of our exposure, these
organizations have been compelled
to fold up and discontinue their
activities. Our committee also has
ferreted out and exposed the various
Communist and Communist front
organizations in this country, with
the result that fully so per cent of
these front organizations have been
forced to discontinue"
Cites House Confidence.
Pointing out that the House for
the sixth time has expressed it's
confidence in the committee, Mr..
Dies asserted that the American
people may rest assured that it will
continue without fear or favor to
investigate and expose all domestic
foes of this country, regardless of
the brand OF totalitarianism which
they promote"
He added:
I'm spite OF the campaign of
ridicule, abuse and misrepresenta-
ton which has been conducted
against us from the very beginning
Of our work, the significant fact
remains that fully 80 per cent OF
all the findings of our committee
have been confirmed and recognized
by the findings of other agencies of

Registration Points
Delayed by Failures
To Clip Declarations
Rution OfficiuIs Renew
Request as Some Schools
Run Out of Forms

AS the third day of registration
for war ration book No. got under
way, school officials issued a new
plea for applicants to bring with
them declaration forms clipped
from newspapers.
Although this declaration has
been reproduced in The Star and
other newspapers during the past
week and registrants have been
urged to clip it out and bring it
with them, officials reported large
numbers OF applicants came to the
schools yesterday without the forms.
In several instances, it was said
schools ran out Of the small ouan-
tity OF declarations which had been
supplied by the OPA and had to
turn down applicants until they had
provided themselves with their own
forms.
212,9O6 Books Issued.
Only $4,000 forms had been pro-
vided for the Districts $4,000 resi-
dents by the OPA, which relied
largely on applicants clipping these
forms out of the papers. Actually,
considerably fewer than $500 dec
!aratlons were needed because most
OF the applications contain the
names Of several persons who are
members Of the same family unit.
The War Ration Board reports
that 2l2,906 ration books were issued
yesterday. The number of declara-
tions turned into the boards was
89,513.
The number Of excess cans re-
ported was l50,443 Excess pounds
OF coffee held by consumers on No
ven1ber % were reported at 1884.
L Through r Sign Up Today.
Residents with names beginning
with letters from IL" through "R"
were supposed to sign up today.
Tomorrow, the last day OF registra-
ton, those with names from IS"
through ~" are to register. Regis
trat1on officials again urged appli-
cants to come as early in the day
as possible.
Of1cialS have been surprised dur
ing the past two days by the unex-
pectedly small amount of canned
goods on hand being declared bv
reglstrants. Figures for the first
day indicated that an average of
less than one excess can per person
was being listed by applicants. No
figures were available on the
amount Of coffee in excess of one
pound per person on November %
being declared, but it was estimated
that such listing would be low.
School officials recalled, however
that coffee had grown extremely
scarce during the weeks before No
vernber % when rationing began
and that most grocers were restrict
ing the amount sold to each GUS
toner when it was available.
Praise for the manner in which
the registration is being handled
by the schools came from Robert
K. Thompson, District OPA di-
rector. He said the assembly line"
system set up in most of the schools
to expedite registrations lis work
ing 100 per cent"
'I can't emphasize too much the
Job the school system is doing" he
said. "TThe teachers and their vol
unteer helpers are working long
hours to make this a successful
job"

Il am convinced that there are
hundreds of Federal officials and
employees who should be dismissed. "
he said: only handful have been
discharged. The reason the others
have not been dismissed is that
certain bureaucrats who have the
power to discharge have refused to
do so because they do not believe
that affihation with subversive or
CARNATIONS or expression of opposi-
ton to our form Of government

the public for its cooperation in
the registration. He said reports
indicated that just about half of the
Districts residents had registered
during the first two days, thereby
eliminating the possibility of tre-
mendous rushes on the last two
days.
The OPA director also explained
that reports from school officials in

over backwards" to declare all of
the rationed goods they had on
hand last Saturday.
Except at those schools which ran
out of declaration forms, yesterdays
registration proceeded smoothly.
