Marine Raiders

Before Invasion

ADVANCED BASE, South Pacif-

hand-picked United States Marines
from Guadalcanal landed on New
Georgia island several days in ad-
vance of invasion and had the sit
uation in hand for the full scale Al
lied operations to drive off the Jap
anese, it was revealed today.
When invasion came, the Marines
already had famed out into the
green jungles on vital patrols, won
over the natives and set up a de-
fensive vigil holding beach head.
II wasn't as spectacular as it
sounds because opposition was prac-
tically zero but it was a hard, nee
essary job that made it simple for
the fellows coming later.
LIKE COMMANDOS
The Marine units that did the job
are well known. Walter Farr, Lon
don Daily Mail correspondent who
accompanied them, said they carried
out the assignment like the veteran
British Commando troops he has
seen work.
The Marines found the japanese
plenty jittery and apparently on a
futile look for such operations.
Enemy planes buzzed about the dark
skies while the Marines huddled in
landing craft splitting across the
narrow nO-man's sea between is

Largest Raid on
Boot Heel Made
Bvl-iberators
BY UNITED PRESS

A raking assault by nearly
100 American Liberators
across three airdromes on the
heel of weakened Italy's boot
was reported Saturday as the allies
stiffened the pre-invasion plan by
bringing the Greek guerilla army
under an organized command.
The Liberators Friday dropped
100000 pounds of explosives and
fire bombs on Lecce, Grottaglie, and
San Pancrazio, air centers in south
ern ItalT to shift the bombing en-
phasis at least temporarily from
the uch-pummeled Italian islands
LARGEST ATTACK
A communique of the Middle East
command described the Liberator
attack as the largest ever carried
out in single operation by its
forces. The bombs touched off fires
throughout the airdromes areas and
hit some grounded planes.
Forty Axis fighters opposed the
attackers but IL of them were shot
down and the four -motored bombers
went on to their detectives.
The Liberators came from the
Middle-East command, which re-
ported the loss of five planes alto
gether Friday, and struck as bomb
ers and fighters from the north
west African airforce continued
their raids on Sicily and Sardinia.
BlockbuSters were used in Thurs
day night raids on Palermo, on Sici-
ly, and Cagliari, Sandman capital,
and in daylight Friday Royal air
force fliers returned to bomb Cata-
mia, Sicilian east coast ports, and
MitchellS raided Castelvetrano air
drome.
Not a plane was lost from the
northwest forceS-a familiar report
the last few days that indicated
the waning of the axis power to
resist in the Mediterranean.
WELL ARMED FORCES
A Cairo dispatch said the guerilla
placed under direct command of
the allies were Well-armed forces
with adequate supplies. They have
been engaged in continuous warfare
against Axis occupying troops.
Reports indicate regrouping
of Germany's aerial strength to
stretch its decreasing number of
planes as far as possible. Adolf

some planes from the Russian front
and to have sent his 1900 front

THE SPIRIT
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY
GRAY FOX

(UrOcy0n C1nereOdrgenteuS)
To know something of the family
background of an animal is an ex-
cellent way to account for it's ac-
tions in a given situation. Finding
the gray fox in the same family
with the wolves and dogs naturally
keys ones thoughts to watch for
some of the habits they have in
common.
Foxes resemble cats in the way
they walk on their toes (digiti-
grade). and in having four toes
on their hind feet But their claws
are shorter. duller and not re-
tractile.
All foxes have the reputation for
being cunning and audacious These
gifts are theirs by nature and are
most characteristic of the fox
tribe, They have acquired. through
experience. many lessons which tend
to add to their ability to outWit
their clever foe-man.
The gray fox has a range over
the southeastern part of New York
and New Jersey to Georgia. and
north in the Mississippi Valley to
Tennessee. He has sought the pro-
lection of the forest, for he is not
capable of holding his own long in
cultivated country. Not that he
has anything against civilizations

Many readers jump at conclusions
and assume that this "a" with dot
above it means that the vowel must
have the "ah" sound Such a prem
Use has no basis in fact. The dot"
simply is a purposely ambiguous de-
vice that indicates that the "a" may
be pronounced fiat, as in man, or
broad. as in father, or with a medal
sound that is about half way between
the two.
Furthermore, Webster's states that
in the case of rather, and all the
other so-called broad a. words

Evening star., 1943-04-13

In the country as a whole, the "a
(the fiat "a" of gather) strongly
predominates =. outside of the East
or Richmond, and is used by large
majority of speakers, probably not
less than a hundred million"
Therefore, those who prefer to
rhyme rather with gather, and to
use the fiat "a" in the ask dance
glass group of words, not only have
the majority on their side, they
have Webster's benign blessing as
we'll. This discussion of the broad

Rather
Rather

Rather" is not an ineffable word
as some speakers seem to think. 1t
is from the humble Anglo-S Saxon
hraethe, meaning quickly; at once. .
A few speakers say "RAW-ther.
Others rhyme rather with father,
and consider it the only correct
pronunciation. The majority of
Americans rhyme it with gather and
lather.
But what is the correct" pro-
nunciation? First of all, we can
rule out "RAW-ther' as having no
sanction whatever. The rhyme with
father is the only choice of the Brit
ish dictionaries. Webster's, Winston,
and Macmillan show the "a" of
rather with a single dot above it.

Marching Fathers on to War

Washington is being told that the Se- lective Service System is being operated ir way that is unsatisfactory to the American people and blind man can see that there is general disapproval of Man power orders to continue serious inroac6 on the family life of this country
 In the first place the great war produc- tion centers do not agree that there is any serious slump in manpower. As matter of fact most of the recent troubles about production have been due to lack of raw products and materials. If any, body is to blame for that, some of the officials in Washington may be able to explain.
 News from the interior of the country seems to indicate that the people have told their Senators and Congressman who went home for instructions" that there should be more concern given to family responsibility" Public opinion is about fled up" with shifting sugges- tions from the War Manpower Commis- sion.
