SYDNEY. Australia Delayed =
1t took us only two hours and ten
minutes to fly from the field at
Melbourne to the field here, but we
were above the clouds most way, so
was glad We had seen the coun-
try on our previous flight.
This has been an easy day be-
cause we didn't begin our rounds
till we had fortified ourselves with
very good lunch at the hotel. AT
200 O'Clock the press came and
though I thought all the questions
that could be asked had been asked,
they thought up some more and
still seemed full of them. Then l
was told that we had to go to our
first engagement.
We visited the Red Cross officers
club, which was crowded With
young fliers down on leave from
New Guinea for a few days rest.
Then we went on to club run by
the Americans in Sydney, with the
help of their Australian friends.
General Eichelberger found two
young officers in whom he is in
terested here, and introduced them.

RELAX AT CLUB

We spent half hour at the club
run by the Red Cross for Army and
Navy Nurses, and they gave us
cup of tea. The General sat sur
rounded by his Army girls, while
Admiral Jones had the Navy girls
draped around his chair.
There are times when / think
the world is a very small place and
at other times, it seems very large.
This afternoon was one OF the oc-
casions when it seemed small, Tor
one nurse looked up and said, "Say
hello to Poughkeepsie for me, Mrs.
Roosevelt" I found she had been
at st. Francis Hospital there, and
knew my sister-in-law, who Is on
the board of the hospital.
Later, another girl said, If you
see Leo Casey, say hello for me. l
knew him at the hospital in SYRIA
cuse, New York" These girls revel
in having comfortable beds with
out nets over them, real hot baths
in tubs, and a chance to get hair
dos. I tried to make some OF them
tell me of their experiences and
they were slow to speak of them.
But gradually, one after another
contributed something to the pic
ture of day to day heroism.
One of them found rat in her
bed on waking. Another woke to
find rock python on the floor be-
side her bed. Rats steal your socks
if YOU leave them out, and the
crickets eat your clothes. One
group was without hot water for
DAYS and had very little water to
spare for their own use after max
ing the patients comfortable. In
fact, they went nine months with
out hot bath.
BEAR DISCOMFORTS
When these nurses first went to
New Guinea, I know they slept or
army cots. Their evening uniform
there is one piece slack suit with
socks into which the trousers are
carefully tucked. Clumsy G.. I
shoes are a final protection against
the mosquito, that may lay nurse
low with malaria as easily as II
attacks a soldier.
One nurse told me that she had
pinned Silver Star on her brother
twice. He is a Marine sergeant
James Kaufman, and was decorat-
ed for conspicuous gallantry in
repairing the lines of communlca-
ton between headquarters and the
forward area during the bitter
fighting on Guadalcanal. She Is
Lieutenant Mary kaufman and is
spending her leave here.
At 4:3O, I attended a gathering
of women at Town Hall, where the
mayor introduced me and spoke
At 800 o'clock several people came
to see me and at TOO I made q
fifteen minute broadcast after
which we dined and then went te
the Red Cross club for enlisted
men. where a dance was in full
swing. There I met young mar
who had been chosen by Helen Hal
for his job and felt a great re-
sponsibility to carry it out well. Il
is a tribute to Miss Hall wher
people tell of her achievements Out
here, where, to get things done, was
nothing short of miraculous. She
has left many warm friends anc
admirers in every place that have
been so far.

Isadore Prilly, 322 Pine street and Harry Birenbaum, 281 Pine street, could identify either Lewis or Gatling as having taken part in the disturbance, Attorney Weissman asked the court that the charges against these boys be dismissed. This was refused.
 The boys, dressed in modified zoot suits, testified in their own defense. All told the same story of youthful playfulness and adult eXcitability.

 Radar Great Help
 6. The attack on Attu never could have been accomplished with out radar, the new radio detection device. The weather was so bad at Attu that the water couldn't be seen from the decks of boats and ships were berthed and men landed by the use of radar.
 Some idea of what it costs to run an army in this war was disclosed in the breakdown of the total bill $11 ,5O5, ,686 0O0 for pay; $2,464 ,451 ,240 for subsistence; $1,890, ,988,133 for clothing and equipment; $620, ,oo3 ,UoU for medical department; $15,042,- 5220O0 for ordnance supplies and services
 The biggest cut made by the com mittee was $91 ,989 eliminated from a $749,oOoOOO item for "expe- diting production
 The committee approved $433,- off,ooo lIelll lOl Glle Wolllell Al lily Auxiliary Corps which will be ex- banded 21a times during the next year.
 The measure included a $4,969,- 967, ,668 item for Army lend lease. Of this total, an ordnance service and supplies item of $3,889, ,431 ,984 was the largest.
 While the committee expressed the hope that none of the Axis powers will resort to chemical warfare" the bill provided $1, 154,734, ,000 for chem ical war service, and voiced deter mination that the Allied forces Wip be ready should our enemies eIect to engage in this diabolical form of attack"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-06-18

Continued from Page D included men in the middle ground between De Gaulle and Giraud such as Gen. Georges CatrouX, commis- sioner for Moslem affairs, Jean Monnet, arms and supplies minis fer and Rene Massigli, head of for eign affairs for the committee.
 Most of the new members of the committee tended to attach them selves to these three regardless Of their personal affiliations with De Gaulle or Giraud.
 Henri Bonnet, 14th member of the committee, was expected to join them when he arrives here.
 At yesterdays committee session Massigli reported that he was con- vinced all the United Nations would recognize the committee as Frances de facto government once unity firmly is established.
 The situation involving army re- forms remained unchanged, with De Gaulle insisting that he be made de- fense minister with control of the navy and aviation while Giraud continues as commander in chief of the army.

the destruction of the enemy, which is our great purpose"
 His deputy chief of staff, Lieut. Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, described the bill as "the biggest ill history "colossol," and added:
 "This description fits the military effort These decisive dollars will be translated into decisive stra- tegic and tactical plans"
 The money for the air corps will pay for 36,OO0 bombers, 38000 fight CT planes, 12,000 transport planes and 5000 training planes; provide for maintenance of 90 airfields, and make possible the training of 302,000 technicians, 8O,OO0 pilots, 12000 bom- bardiers, and 18,OO0 navigators.
 The committe said it was aware that some estimates in the bill "lean toward the liberal side." but pointed out that it was virtually impossible to antcipiate demands in prosecut- ing a war worldwide in scope.
 Not a dollar has been subtracted from an item that can be said would initiate against the war effort" the committees report said. Guns, tanks, airplanes, ammunition, chemi- calls, and war munitions of every kind and description are provided for in accordance with the departments recommendations"
 The committee in general compli- mented the War Department on the difficult job it is doing and only in minor instances did it cut budget estimates or criticize. One instance was in the departments request for $8OO,0O0,0OO for travel of the army. That was cut 10 per cent, the com mittee explaining that it felt there has been entirely too much unneces- sary travel and that there could be and should be better control and regulation"
 The committee released simultane- ously with it's report testimony taken at hearings on the budget requests. It revealed that:
 1. The army as of now plans a net increase of only 1,020, ,473 persons in uniformed personnel during the 12 months starting July 1, and more than a quarter of that increase will be women. The figures appeared to foretell a sharp decrease in the rate of inductions, and possibly a postponement of the time when general drafting of fathers will start.
 3. The weapons of the U. s. army have been proven generally superior and always equal" to simi- lar Axis material. The chief of army ordnance especially was en- thusiastic about American artillery.
 3. Preparations are being made for 100000 prisoners of war in this country by December 31. The care of them will cost an estimated $271,- 100000 of which more than $55 ,0OO,- 900 will be for pay to those who work.
 4. The Army has cut the time lost to venereal disease in half since 1941 and the general health of the Army is better than it has ever been. The ratio of deaths in battle to total casualties is the same as in other Wars-battle deaths are about about 20 to 25 per cent of total cas- ualties.
 5. Five Army ordnance plants have been closed to meet "the fluid condition of the war;" It is not

 it plans a net increase of 802,397 persons in it's uniformed personnel, including Women's reserves. It in- cluded a net increase of ITS, 5,192 men.
 The increases of 75,192 men for the Navy and 733,390 men for the Army mean that 1,508,572 men plus, presumably, replacements for fatalities-will be called into the two services during the next year.
 That would be an average of ap- proXimately 125,000 men a month. But since the Army presumably will take most of its additional men during the next six months, the in- duction rate may well level off at 100000 or less month after Jan. l. Another indication that the Army expects to level off it's induction rate in the near future was a statement by Lieut.. Gen. Brehon B. Somervell, chief of supply forces.
 Discussing construction of Army housing facilities, he said that "the strength of troops to be housed in the continental United States will increase only slightly in the first half of the fiscal year 1944'-the last six months of calender 1943- and will decrease rapidly there- after. ."

 We can't hold down war expen- ditures as long as the Army and Navy have the sole determination as to their needs. But we d have no trouble in financing one half of the war effort if the armed services would content themselves with $75,- 00O,O00000 year.

JAPANESE KILL
 UNFIT BUDD|ES
Medical Officers Put Seri= OusIy Wounded Soldiers
 to Death
BY RUSSELL ANNABEL Limited Press Staff COrrespOndentl

Massacre Bay, Attu Island. May 31 - Delayed) - CUP) - Seriously wounded Japanese soldiers, unfit for further fighting after a futile aS- sault on U. s. positions May 29. were shot and killed by Japanese medical officers, American troops reported today.
 That the attack was "one-way" venture conceived by Col. Yasuyo Yamasaki, Japanese commander on Attu, was indicated by that action and evidence that the enemy had no previously ly-arranged rendezvous point in case the assault failed.
 Army authorities do not know the fate of Yamasaki and his sec ond in command, Lieut.. Col. Koy- oski Yonagawa. They may have been killed in battle or committed suicide as many of their troops did. They also may be hiding in the barren hills above Cape Khlebnikof, where column of enemy was seen when U. s. forces occupied Chi chagof village.
 Only about 200 Japanese still are believed alive on Attu but only in widely scattered bands with meager supplies of food or ammunition. Among them probably are a num- Der of enemy civilians who were forced to fight.
 But one of them, shivering and forlorn in a snoWbound foxhole, de- cided he would rather be live cap- tive than a dead civilian when he saw his comrades moved down by American gunfire or kill themselves during the battle in Sarana Valley.
 He tied white handkerchief to a bayonet scabbard and waving it wildly came down the tan grassy hillslope. At the bottom, troops searching for hidden weapons, stripped him of his trousers. Some how in the rush, the trousers were lost and the civilian was escorted to headquarters with blanket tied around him.
 After establishing that he want ed to surrender, his only request was for his pants. Last night in telligence officers still were look ing for them.
