over hilltops and be sure Peggy
wouldn't surprise them.
meanwhile Buckley was report
ing to the Admiral daily and was
formulating a plan-Which he would
talk over with me, as 1 was his
second officer-for what we would
do when our gas ran out. We had
damned little left, and the army
couldn't spare us any.
'Our first plan was, when we got
down to our minimum, to get out to
Australia. The navy patrol bombers
had planted caches of gasoline
among the islands like stepping
stones, and the Admiral gave us
their location. But the first STEP
pingstone was Singapore, and the
Japs were working their way down
the peninsula, closer and closer to
it. Could we get there first? Of
course we wouldn't leave the Philip
pines until all of our torpedoes were
gone and we had just enough gas
left to make the final run. But
then, as you know, Singapore fell
and also the southern islands
Celebes and Zamboanga. The route
with the cached gas was closed
that plan was out.
$50 then we said, who wanted to
go to Australia anyway? Our job
was to defend Manila Bay-wasn't
that our part in the war plan? Yet
even then it kept coming up: sup
pose the worst came to the worst
and Luzon folded up-the whole ar
chipelago-even Java-what then?
"Then Bulkeley here hit on real
plan. When our gas was down to
just what we could carry on our
decks, instead of waiting around to
get captured by the Japs, we'd take
our boats to China to continue the
war. At first glance you'd say that
was crazy-the Japanese holding
most of the Chinese coast-but not
the way the skipper had it thought
out. He knew China from the years
he'd spent out there on a gunboat
while l was there on destroyer.
1.-The Japs were closing in on
Hong Kong-that was fine for us!
We'd make our daSh-shoot our last
few remaining fish at their gathered
transports just where they least ex-
pected an attack, and then head
north toward the region of Swallow.
"Of course the Japs held that
coast too, but Bulkeley had worked
out an answer, all in the utmost
secrecy. He'd gotten in touch with
Colonel Wong, the Chinese military
observer. Wong had cabled Chung
king to investigate the vicinity.

REAL SECOND

 BY RED STAR
Allies Missing Chance Dur. ing Soviet Summer Cam
 pdign = Shorten War

MOSCOW, Aug 18-Red Star official army newspaper, comment ing on the Roosevelt Churchill conference in Quebec, said the Allies have failed to take advan- tage of the opportunity afforded by the Soviet summer offensive to strike Germany from the west. It repeated the call for a second front asserting "only such an operation can cut down the length of the war to any considerable extent"
 The newspaper continued: The Allied Command has carried out well prepared landing operations in Sicily but added, the struggle in Sicily, however, failed to divert single German division from the Soviet German front.
 "A German military observer, Captain Sertorius, said a few days ago that not a single German plane was shifted to Sicily from the Soviet front; consequently all the possibilities opened by the victori- ous offensive of the Red Army have not been used so far to strike strong blows on Germany from the Vest

THOUSANDS MORE SEARS
 ARE NEEDED

SEATTLE, Aug. 18. - Although more than 5000 STARS now are on duty with the Women's Reserve of the Coast Guard, thousands more are needed to fill the 15,000 quota established for the service, says Lieut. j.g) Dorothy Bevis, SPAR procurement officer for Seattle.
 Already there are approximately 200 STARS now on duty in Se- attle alone, Lieut. Bevis pointed out.
 "These patriotic young women have relieved many men for duty at sea and for shore jobs at re- mote outposts," Lieut.. Bevis de- clared. AS STARS become more thoroughly indoctrinated, more and more Coast Guardsmen will be re- leased for the fighting fronts"
 The service, she explained, offers an opportunity for young women to broaden their knowledge and ex- perience through travel, special training and duty assignments of an unusual nature. All SPAR re- cruits from the Northwest area now are sent to Palm Beach, Fla, for their preliminary training.
 After completion of their train ing course, new STARS travel again to reach the scene of their duty assignment. Young women from inland cities especially enjoy their work with the STARS be- cause activities of the service al ways center at interesting seaport cities, Lieut.. Bevis pointed out.
 Women 20 to 36 years of age with at least two years of high school education are eligible to become STARS. Information con- corning enlistment in the service is available by writing or visiting the SPAR Procurement Office, AL aska Building, in Seattle.
