observance of his commands

This happy combination has
made our Jubilarian intolerant
in the best sense; not intolerant
of human weaknesses nor of err

but intolerant Of anything that
might detract from the purity

PRIEST OVERCOME
All in all, it was day that
left Father Roberge slightly
dazed with the multitude OF his
friendships. as he endeavored to
carry on his parish duties as
usual today.
Four principal events marked
the jubilee day: Solemn Mass of
Thanksgiving at $3.50 a. m;
parish breakfast participated in
by various parish groups; a Me-
dea Hotel dinner for the clergy
and others, and public program
and ceremonies at the school
hall last night.
The godparents, Frank Be-
LANCER, IS, and Mrs. Belanger,
70, of Detroit, enjoyed every
minute of the day, and were
considered guests of honor.
The evening program, well
attended by local friends of the
pastor, was directed by Sister
Rose Agatha, school principal,
and Sisters of the Immaculate
Heart Of Mary. Gowns and cos
tunes in rich colors were worn
by various student groups, and
included songs, dances and sew
cral notable skits with the par
ish priest as the subject mat
ter.
PRESENT PURSE
Clifford A. John acted as mas
ter of ceremonies and presented
a purse TO Father Roberge in
behalf of the men of the parish.
Miss Marie DAILY represented the
ladies. An address was offered
by John Kroon, and Nil Vic
toria Nielsen rendered several
violin numbers.

responded graciously.
While girls of the school ex-
celled in their costumed dane
ing and song presentations, the
boys chose a more robust theme:
mimicry of Father Roberge's
classroom habits and likeable

we'll enjoyed, especially by the
guest of honor.

CHAPTER XVIII


''Pati Pat Friday. Plane
Number 10! Oh. my God,
PAT!"
Capt. James Carr, L. s. army
pilot of the motor ship towing a
sky train. was trying frantically
TO get q radio communication
through. He yelled at his micro
phone while the ship droned and
bucked and twisted in the storm
over Superstition mountain. He
gritted his teeth, threw electric
switches and twisted dials. Beside
him, Lorraine Stuart was white
with fear. but he ignored her pres
ence. "PAT!" he shrieked again.
Number 10 Pat"
In technical truth, that frantic
cry Of his did get through to Pat
sy. struggling now in the same
storm.
She heard him. and she tried 10
answer. II was Jimmy's receiving
apparatus that had gone tempo
rarily dead. But then. her own
radio, both ways, seemed TO be
fluctuating. What's more Pat
couldn't spare the time TO try To
tune II. From her position as

cut loose with astonishing courage
Her plane had dipped. The gusty
blow had caught her unprepared

knew she was somewhere under

The needle tried to settle at IA 900
and again at 1000, but in a sin
gle instant it shot up to 10000

off. But Il was all she had to go
by, and she almost pleaded with
the thing.

that the instrument was function

was more interested in talking about
conditions in Georgia than in New
Georgia. After telling me that he hoped
to be back in action within weeks, he
wound up by expressing concern about
the people back home, saying: Look
after the folks at home, Senator, and
we will take care of these Japs out
here.
Battle to the Death.
The fighting in Europe is against a
determined, well-equipped and resource
full enemy. 1t does more or less follow
the orthodox conception of war. The
war in the Pacific is battle TO the
death. Tales of incredible and shocking
brutality by the japanese in the treat
ment of our men, including the wounded,
make 1t easy to understand why no
quarter is now being asked or given. The
Japs had the early advantage Of train
ing in jungle fighting. They are patient
and cunning. A japanese sniper will tie
himself in tree and remain there for
or days Another will spend several
hours crawling as short a distance as
d
soldier or marine. They have a great
trick Of slipping behind our lines and
felgning death along a path on which
relnforcements must travel and throwing
genade into detachment of our men.
They had mastered all the arts of
camoufage in jungle fighting. The best
illustration I can use to describe the
jungle fighting in the islands of the
South Pacific is to compare it with
Indian warfare in early Colonial DAYS.
with the jungle more fearsome and diff
flcult to penetrate than any primeval
forest.
Our men have had to learn Jungle
fighting the hard way, but they have
finally mastered it, and today they are
beating the Jap at his own game.
Naval Operations.
AS member Of the Naval Affairs
Committee I undertook to observe as
many of the activities Of our Navy in the
areas visited as possible I am frank to
say that I believe the Navy is doing
dsservice to many American heroes by
overstressing its policy of remaining the
Silent service" Sailors handled every
one OF the landing barges which took the
troops and Marines ashore in the South
Pacific, as they did in North Africa, in
Sicily and in Italy They kept the noses
OF their ships, which are easy targets for
bomb and shell, against the sands of the
beaches until the last soldier and the
last piece of equipment was ashore.
Ofttimes the guns of sdestroyers and
cruisers blazed the path for our infantry
and tanks. Due to the constant vigilance
required to fend off attacks by airplanes
and submarines, the men manning these
ships often do not get more than 2 or

war being produced at such great effort
and expense, and the general effective
ness with which the war is being prose-
cuted. I also believed that the things
heard and observed by such a Senate
committee would be helpful in dealing
with the questions arising from our rela-
tlons with the other Allied powers, and
in preparing for the many trying and
complex issues whose solution must have
final approval by the Senate after the
war is over.
No one would claim that any person
could become conversant with all phases
OF our far-f1ung activities in a trim of
little more than two months duration.
All that one could hope to do was to get
a talr idea Of the general atmosphere
prevailing in each of the theaters visited
IhS we endeavored to do by personal
contact and observation. We slept in
palaces and in pup tents. We ate with
those who are directing the destinies of
nations, and with enlisted men at their
mess. We conferred with high officials
OF every government visited as we'll as
with the commanding officers in every
theater Of operations. We had explana-
tons Of strategy, tactics and objectives.
illustrated by maps and in some cases bv
moving pictures. We talked to wounded
men in hospitals who had lust been
brought in from the front, as we'll as
with men of all ranks belonging to every
branch of the service.
Visited 5th Army.
We spent days with the 5th Army as
1t was undergoing the final phases OF
intensive training in amphibious opera
tlons preparatory to the invasion of
Italy, as well as with Commando units
and Marines training for Jungle fighting
IN the South Pacific. We saw bomber
and fighter squadrons briefed for attack
take off in their planes, both from Eng
land and in the Pacific theater. We
visited men in their barracks and chat
ted with them as they relaxed in Red
Cross canteens. We attended the moy-
ing picture and the USO shows, to which

included in Official Government mar
ket reports.
When Prentiss Brown resigned
from the OPA he issued a deftly
worded statement indicating that the
major problems of the OPA had been
solved. The superficial, uninformed
reader would have been convinced
that from now on everything would
be smooth sailing. Although Chester
BoWles, Mr.. Browns successor. has
brought about some much-needed
reforms both in policy and adminis-
tration, think it fair to say that the
principal problems are still unsolved
and among them none is more vital
than that of black markets.
Black markets are very difficult of
definition. A black market is any,
thing from big syndicate handling
millions Of dollars worth of food
down to the sale of pound of butter
by farmer to a friend without the
exchange Of ration coupons. Funda-
mentally, they are impossible to con-
troll by any agency or by any law.
The fact is that they can be de-
troyed only by eliminating their
principal cause, which is scarcity plus
inf1ationary money. Eliminate either
OF these causes or preferably both
and black markets vanish because
there is no reason for their existence
or any profit in it.
1t is impossible, least of all for a
Government bureau, to discover to
what extent black markets are
prevalent, but it is reasonable to say
that there is no community in which
they do not function in one form or
another. Indeed, they are likely to be
more widespread in small COM
munltles and rural districts.
There are regions where OPA price
levels are simply ignored, where the
producer who observes them is sim
ply penalized in competition with
other producers for observing a Gov
ernmcnt order. In other words we
are, by these violations, slipping into
the dangerous state of mind which
prevailed during prohibition not a
very good state of mind in a great
nation in wartime.
The unfortunate thing about black
markets is that the customer will
seldom turn informer because in do
ing so he himself cuts off the source of
supplies which he values more than
money.

now unquestionably the best fed,
best equipped and best provided armed
forces the world has ever seen. In
some of the remote areas the ration is
not as tasty and varied as one would
like, but all of our men have plenty
of nourishing food and clothes adapted
to the climate in which they serve and
fight.
The completeness OF the hospital IA
cilities both in the field and at perma-
nent stations, and the speed with which
the sick and wounded receive treat
ment are almost unbelievable. I do
not think we failed to visit hospital
at single place We stopped, and I
talked with doctors, nurses and pa
tients. Men are recovering from
wounds in a few weeks in this war
which would have proved fatal here
tofore, and the use of the sulfa drug,
blood plasma, and new methods of
treatment are accomplishing miracles.
Most Of these hospital units moved to
the front completely stated with doc
tors and nurses from our leading hos
pitfalls in the States. The quality of
medical treatment received by the sick
and wounded in our armed forces is
incomparably superior to the average
treatment received by the civilian popu-
lation at home.
Get Eyewitness Story.
All Senators have talked to eyewit-
nesses who have vividly portrayed some
Of the difficulties and obstacles with
which our fighting men must contend
in the course of operations, as we'll as

fulness of our boys who are engaged in
actual combat. 1 shall not repeat them.
All Of us heard sagas of individual
heroism and accomplishment which
make the stories Of the Knights of the
Round Table pale in comparison.
1t was hard to believe that the quiet
and modest chap you met in a hospital
cheerfully bearing three or four gaping
wounds was hero who had either
killed II Japs single-handed or had
flown through the hell of fire which
greeted the men who struck the Ploesti
oil refineries.
1 shall never forget the emotions I
experienced as I sat with so fighter
pilots of the 9th Air Force in England
and heard handsome blond squadron
leader about 25 years old instruct his
men on a mission across the Channel.
He sounded as casual as If he were dis
cussing the proper play to run in

the men in the more remote places look
forward so avidly.
The men who are actually fighting this
war are thinking about postwar prob
lens, as we'll as things at home and the
conduct of the war. I wish that every
member of the Senate could have been
with NE to share my discomfort during
a tWo-hour grilling by several hundred
servicemen in Red Cross canteen in
New Delhi, which they have named
Duration Den" 1t would have required
not only all the powers of prophecy of
the entire Senate, but full and frank re-
plies from the heads of all the Allied
powers to answer some of the questions
propounded Any idea that the men are
only thinking about the end Of the war
and getting home would be disabused by
a visit TO any overseas station.
What have seen and heard does not
make me an expert on all things pertain
ing to the war; but have much clearer
picture than could possibly have gained
by Jealous attendance on committee
hearings for II months Not only is this
war the greatest undertaking the Amer
lcan people have ever embarked upon,
but even after having visited all the
theaterS of operations it is difficult to
grasp the magnitude Of the job to which
the power and might of the United
States and our Allies have been har-
messed all around the globe. 1t was
great experience to see first-hand the
dlflculties and obstacles which are re-
Qulring such tremendous expenditure
Of human energy and material resources.
and which demand ingenuity. heroism
and spirit of sacrifice on the part of
millions of our boys and girls.
transportation Problem STAGGERING.
The overall problem of transporta ton
involved in this war is so great as to
stagser the imagination. 1t taxes to the
limit the resources of our Nation and the
human endurance of our people en-
gagged IN 1t. The most striking single
difficulty is that involved in the effort
to supply our forces in China and our
Evening star., 1943-10-31

Chinese Allies. After having been
brought thousands of miles by steam
ship into the harbor of Calcutta, every
pound OF supplies going to Gen. Chen
nault's gallant air forces in China must
now be loaded or unloaded nine differ
ent times, as we'll as being flown over
the towering peaks of the Burma
hump before they can be utilized
against the enemy.
The job of maintenance and repair in
this mechanical war is an onerous one
Verltable factories must follow each
army. American engineers and me-
chanics have built great machine shops
at various places across the vast reaches
OF North Africa. on the scorching rim of
the Persian Gulf, in Australia, and on
the islands of the South Pacific, where
planes, tanks, trucks and ships are
either assembled or repaired. I never
cease to marvel at their efficiency We
saw production lines at these remote
stations receive airplane engines that
seemed to be completely wrecked. A
few hours later they emerged wrapped
IN cellophane and as precisely fooled
and efficient as a new engine coming
from plant in the United States.
One benefit We will derive from the
enormous expenditures of this awful
war lies in the training of large numbers
OF the finest craftsmen and mechanics
in the world. Both the Army and the
Navy have accomplished wonders in
this respect. Boys who II months ago
were either unemployed or doing work
requiring no skill are today repairing
the most delicate instruments. such as
raoar and radio equipment, telephone
exchanges, submarine periscopes, and
are working with the countless finely
balanced machines which are neces-
sary in the operation of airplanes. sub
marines, and other complicated mech
anisms of war.
Every American may we'll be proud
OF the manner in which our armed
forces have met the problem Of mainte-
nance and supply. Our dificulties have
been so far solved that our troops are
