US. Neighbor Policy Played
 By Senator
Nebraska Democrat Butler Says Program Should Be
 Technical Assistance

WASHINGTON, Nov 27. = De- scribing United States aid to Latin American countries as "naively con- ceived, badly coordinated and boon- doggling' Senator Butler. Nebraska Democrat, told the Senate the pro- gram should be changed to one of technical assistance and cultural understanding.
 Reporting on his 10000 mile tour of Central South American coun- tries, Sen. Butler said the present good neighbor" policy is based on sentimental dreams, which are merely reflections of our own ideas and not theirs and are tolerated by the Latins solely because they are accompanied by liberal dona- tions from our treasury"
 Declaring only 3 of the 20 coun- tries he visited can fairly be called democracies, Butler said "all the rest have dictatorships of the most autocratic sort, generally militaris- tic dictatorships at that"

5WEDE5 TELL OF
 RAIDS ON BERLIN
 AND AFTERMATHS

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 27. The Tidningen said it had learned that German officials ad- mitted the fourth Royal Air Force Services attacks Monday and Tues day nights destroyed Berlin.
 Two Swedish eyewitnesses, En- gineer Sund Lundquist, and explo- sives expert Major Olof Nordzell said the damage was largely locat- ed in the city's center.
 Upon arrival in Sweden they said some few houses are still intact among the ruins. We would say destruction in the center of the city runs between 50 to 100 percent"
 They gave this highlight picture of conditions in Berlin: No bread or milk for sale Thursday, crowds waiting fruitlessly in front of shops for supplies; thousands of workers laboring day and night to clear the streets and get traffic in operation: many homeless people sleeping pights in the debris of Uttered streets: firemen so busy they were unable to dig the ruined air raid shelters for bodies.

 Months, SdysKnox

WASHINGTON, Nov 27 = The United States Fleet is now the largest in the world, doubled in the past II months, and now bristles with SIT fighting ships in cluding more than 40 aircraft car riers.
 This disclosure was made today by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, who further said this is the answer to the Japs, and their fleet will soon be drawn into action ard wiped out.
 The construction of 4l9 new ships in the last II months is more than one ship day.
 Twenty-one warships have been lost since January l, but this loss will be made up within the next two weeks, said Knox.
 Aircraft carriers are playing an ever more important role in the drive on Japan.
 A large share of new construction, approximately 230 scrappy destroy CT escorts, have gone into action, primarily in anti-submarine work.
 The goal has been fixed at 2C0 new submarines to be completed this year and this fall will be reached
 The Navy combat planes will more than treble this year and next year even more.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, Nov. 27.-The village of Sattelberg, on the 240O-foot spur overlooking New Guinea's Huon Gulf from whose coast Gen. Douglas Macarthur is now in a position to invade New Britain, has been stor1ned and cap tured by the Australian forces who have strewn the high ground with dead Japanese.
 Much war equipment, including artillery was also taken over.
 The few Japanese survivors beat a retreat to the north along the Wareo trail after yielding the first major points of the area since the fall of Finschhafen, eight miles southeast on October ?.
 A series of assaults, eliminating in Sattelberg's capture, started Mo- vember IT, when medium tanks were hurled into the action and double envelopment. plus direct frontal assault strategy used by the Aus sies, closed in until the Japanese defenses were virtually surrounded.
 The northern jungle trail was the only possible means of escape.
 The precipitous cliffs of Sattel- berg were well adapted for Japan csc defenses. but the Aussies over came the fixed defenses of dugouts and tanks followed the main trail almost to the village itself, and played most important part in clearing the way for the infantry.

Report Released Express ing Extreme Dis

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-Chair- man Robert R. Reynolds of the Senate Military Committee turned over to the Senate the report in which Gen. Dwight Eisenhower said he had disciplined Gen. George Patton in a way he thought "ap- plicable in the circumstances"
 The report said that Gen. Patton was reprimanded for his treatment of two soldiers, one of whom he "cuffed."
 Gen. Eisenhower reported, Tt is true that Gen. Patton was guilty of reprehensible conduct with respect to the two enlisted men. They were both suffering from a nervous dis order. and one man in the case had a temperature"
 After an exhaustive Investigation, he said, he acted in way he thought appropriate because he be- lieved the general had a great field of usefulness in any assault where loyalty. drive and gallantry on the part of the Army Comman- der would sbe essential"
 Gen. Eisenhower referred to the letter in which he expressed to Patton his extreme displeasure" at what occurred, and in which he in formed Patton that any repetition will result in his instant release"

Marines in Blood and Cuts Battle Suffer losses
 in Gilbert Isles

PEARL HARBOR, Nov 27.-Tbe position of United States Marines of the Second Division who cap tured Tarawa was so critical the first night that determined Jap anese counterattack might have exterminated them. but boys so de- termined never could have been driven off" It. Col Evans r. Carl son said.
 The famed three time winner of the Navy Cross said in an inter- view that it was really blood and guts battle, just blood and guts.' Navy Secretary Frank Knox said in Washington that the Marines at Tarawa sustained heavy losses.
 Carlson said at the end of the first day the marines had secured three narrow beachheads only 100 to 150 yards deep, and the Japs vir-. tually surrounded them. Enemy troops held strong positions ahead and between the beachheads, and some infiltrated to a lagoon where they sniped at the marines from the rear.
 It. Col. James Roosevelt went ashore at Maxim. and reported that his commanding officer, Col Gar diner Conroy was killed because he forgot his own danger in con- centrating on preparations to knock out the enemy's strong positions and affect a landing.
 T was only three feet from Col. Conroy when he was killed the Presidents son said in an inter- view, i've were beating our way along the road on Maxim Atoll when we ran into Jap machine gun fire aimed directly down the road, and we were penned down temporarily Col Conroy who had been in the rear preparing for the attack against the Japanese tank trap ahead got so interested in di- recting our own light tanks he completely forgot his own safety, and stood right in the open di- recting the movement.
 T think a sniper got him but it might have been machine gun fire. He was hit squarely between the eyes"

F0RM05A E RAIDED BY
 U. 5. PLANES

HEADQUARTERS OF FOUR TEENTH AIR FORGE IN CHINA, Nov. 27-Striking at part of the Japanese Empire itself, China based Mitchell bombers and long range fighters carried the air war to the Formosa Island in a Thanksgiving Day raid to smash the big airbase at Shinchiku and cost the enemy at least 31 planes. All planes re- turned safely to their base.
 The raid on the big island fort ress, 90 miles off the coast of China was annonced first by the Tokyo radio and confirmed last night by United States Headquarters at Chungking, which reported that the Chinese press jubilantly acclaimed the raid
 P-38 Lightning fighters led the low level attack which apparently caught the Japs off guard.

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (NAjor Robert c. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON - Some of the Presidents newspaper friends whc have been consistently for him over a long period of years are now sug- gesting that this is a good time to turn the other cheek regarding his constant feud with the press. They suggest that he personally could step into the current newsprint shortage and take strong stand on an issue which seriously threat ems one of the basic freedoms of the country-freedom of the press.
 Actually, good many bureaucrats have been nibbling at the news print problem, but no one has stepped in with any forthrightness to cut red tape and solve the prob lem. It now looks as if only the White House could do this.
 Not generally realized is the fact that newsprint shortage is due not so much to decreased woodpulp production in the Canadian for ests, but to much greater use of cardboard and packing material in sending war supplies abroad. This is a terrific drain and, though U. s. publishers have periodically cut their newsprint. they will have to cut to the bone unless energetic moves are made by the government.
 The plan put forward by news paper executives friendly to the White House includes:
 l. Greater use of war prisoners in the Canadian and Maine forests.
 2. More equitable distribution of newsprint among publishers. At present, the papers with the big Sunday editions have scarcely suf- fered at all, being able to absorb their paper cuts out of their Sunday fiat" On the other hand, medium sized papers may have to take ter rife punishment.
 g. Stricter supervision of cuts by throw-aways, dodgers, comic mag azines and newsprint users who have not kept slv.h accurate records of their past consumption. The newspaper industry has suffered by it's past efficiency, having kept very accurate records.
 A. More emphasis on the paper salvage campaign. At present, only 35 percent of the nations waste paper is being collected and sal- vaged. The waste paper reclaim

"FiIipino Borah" Turns
 Into Regular 0uisling

"Filipino Borah," principally be- cause of his "silver-tongued' or atory.
 When it came time to send his son to college, he selected Harvard for him and Sotero Laurel was graduated in the class of Al. Thereon hangs bit of family drama, for while his father is play ing the role of the Laval of Manila, young Sotero is working hard as an employe of the Philippine-goy- ernment- -in-exile in Washington.
 When the Japs invaded the Philippines Laurel was a member of the Islands Supreme Court. From that time on his spirit of Tcoopera- tiong with Japan's new order has been perfect
 A few months ago, it was report ed by radio that "fanatical' Fili- pino had taken pot shot at the illustrious Quisling while he was playing golf on suburban Manila course. Although the assassin was said to have made a hole-in-one shot. the man who was to become the Japs' first president" of the independent" Philippines appar- ently was not seriously wounded.
 Just what subterfuges the Japs have used to enlist the services of a man of 52-year Laurel's cali bre isn't known here but the fact that they have been able to do it at all demonstrates clearly that they are exerting every effort to bring the 100000 Filipinos under their thumbs in the new Pacific order"
 What they are struggling for now is to create a feeling among the

WASHIN GTON, Nov. 27.--l wouldn't say that Washington or the Philippine government-in-exile was surprised when Japan picked Jose P. Laurel as first president of the newly independent Fili- pinos. but an examination of the record of this latest Axis Quisling leaves one bit staggered.
 Lanky, scholarly, President-in- name only Laurel probably owes the United States as much as any Fili- pino living. He is a product Of the public school system which the United States established in the Islands. When he got ready for college, he chose Yale University and found his surroundings so sym pathetic there that he was able to graduate magma cum laude in the law school.
 He went back to the Islands to become professor in the U. s. sponsored University of the Philip pines school Of, law. He wrote text books, which were adopted without quibble by the Philippine school sys- tenn. He was recognized and hon. ored as an authority on interna- tional law
