WARNS JAPAN
TO WIN, ELSE
BE DESTROYED
Crush Britain and United
States Rally Speak
er Gets Desperate
lBy Associated Press

Tadahiko Okada, Speaker OF the
japanese House of Representatives,
told mass meeting in Tokyo that
Japan must utterly destroy the
United States and Great Britain or
be destroyed herself
The Tokyo radio broadcast re-
ported the grim nature of the global
war at the present time.
Okada is quoted by the radio as
saying: I'VE will permit of no half
baked distinction between the victor
and the vanquished,' and he fur
Their declared it is a question of
the survival of the fittest, eat or
be eaten"
Okada spoke at Crush Britain
and the United States Rally and
he accused the UnSced States of
attempting TO control Europe
across the Atlantic and east Asia
across the Pacific in an outspoken
action of extreme Imperialism.

Nineteen Jap zeros
Shot Down in Battle
Near Russell Islands

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Unlted
States fighter planes shot down 10
Jap Zero fighters and damaged six
more of the enemy planes IN a
swift air battle which ragged near
the American held Russell Islands
in the Solomons Monday.
Seven of the American planes
were lost in the sky fight, but three
American pilots were saved.
Between 40 and so of the Jap
fighters were attacked by the Am
erican fighter pilots, the Navy said.
The Jap aerial thrust apparently
was a counterblow by the enemy in
the vicinity of the Russell Islands
northwest of the main American
base at Guadalcanal prompted by
the heavy American raid over Bou-
granville Island on the northwest
ern end of the Solomon archipelago
on Saturday.
In the Saturday attack on the big
Jap base, the Americans sank a
destroyer and set ablaze corvette
and a cargo ship

BY EUGENE BURNS

I'm scared of the Jap. After fly
ing more than $4,000 miles in fiji
teen days over and around Attn
ana landing at both Massacre and
Holtz bays fronts, I am convinced
the Jap is the toughest foe in the
world.
Essentially, Attu was the easiest
Jap-held or Jap-owned island in
the Pacific we will ever take away
from him. 1t took us, with over
whelming force, three weeks-and
yet the Jap is fighting in the hills
to the last man. Kiska-where the
Japs are about five to ten times as
strong-will be harder.
Many strategists have said the
Japs will fold up in six months
once we have unquestioned air SUI
periority and have sunk the Jap
fleet"
If Attu is an example, that IS
buncombe.
At Attu we had the air and We
had the sea and, with fog helpine
an unopposed landing. That will
not happen often.
Air superiority is not enough t.
beat the Jap. Both Kiska and Attu
have been pounded numerically.
1t did not deter the Jap at Attu
and it does not seem to faze him
at Kiska. He is still digging in.
Naval superiority is not enough.
We had the sea to ourselves ex-
cept for a few submarines. Our in
vasion fleet was perhaps the big
gest we have ever assembled in the
Pacific for such a job.
At Attu the Jap was whipped at
the point of the bayonet
If Attu, Guadalcanal and New
Guinea are examples of Jap ten
acity and will to fight, then we
must expect similar resistance else
where-and more. These were re-
Gently acquired outposts of his en-
pire and least defended
That scares me.

cox AND CONGRESS

On May 81, 1906 Senator Joseph
Ralph Burton of Kansas was told
by the U. S. Supreme Court that
he would have to spend six months
in jail, pay fine of $500 and
never again hold a public office.
He had been convicted of accept
ing money for using his influence
before a branch Of the Federal
government Specifically, he had
accepted $4,000 from the Rialto
Grain and Securities Company of
st. Louis which was barred from
use of the mails. Senator Burton
tried to persuade the Post Office
Department not to bar the Rialto
Company, and accepted money for
his influence.
The case was fought for two
years up to the U. S. Supreme
Court, which handed down ring
ing decision that members of Con-
gress cannot accept "pecuniary re-

WASHINGTON, June 9.-If you
asked the Secret Service (Which is
responsible for the safety OF all
visiting dignitaries) you probably
wouldn't get an answer, but those
who should know will tell you that
the toughest job of guarding they
have had since we entered the war
was that of seeing to the safety OF
Madame Chang Kai-shek.
That may be surprising in view
of the fact that Great Britain's
Prime Minister Churchill has Wis
tied this country twice; President
Roosevelt has been to Casablanca
and Mexico, via all the interme-
date states; and that there has
been an endless parade of Latin
American presidents.
The reason Madame Chang was
such a nerve wrecker for the S.
men is simply that her cross
country junket was mapped in adj
vance and there was no secret
about where she was today or
where she would be tomorrow.
When Churchill arrived for his
latest visit in the United States,
there wasn't word of warning to
anybody but the White House in
ner circle, few military officials,
and Secret Service. His way was
paved with precautions, but not
the kind that took local police
forces, press, radio, port officials.
and others into confidence. News
photographers were allowed to take
his picture as he climbed into the
Presidents car for his drive to the
White House, but there was no
press conference.
His visit made the Secret Service
jittery. So did the Presidents trip
to Mexico. And the Roosevelt hop
to Casablanca was a nightmare of
Secret Service responsibility. White
House Secret Service Chief Michael
Mike" Reilly covered every inch
Of that ground before the President
took off, but if one word had
leaked out that the President was
going, Reilly's precautions would
have had to be quintupled.
During ChurchilIs visit, there
were extra guards on the White
House, starting with the ring of
MP's regularly assigned to that
task, but you hardly would have
noticed it. The only time that
the White House has the appear
ance of being super-guarded is
when some announced arrival OF
departure is taking place

The W ashingfo
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
(Major Robert 8. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON Here is the in
side story of how PrentisS Brown,
much against his will, got him
self catapulted from the relative
peace of the U. S. Senate into the
vituperative turmoil of the OPA.
After Browns defeat as Senator
from Michigan, Senator Robert
Wagner of New York wrote to the
President urging that Browns ex-
perience be used in the interest OF
the country. The next day Wagner
received a reply from the White
House: II agree with you COM
pletely. Nuff said-FDR."
Meantime, Mariner Eccles had
tempted Brown with a job on the
Federal Reserve Board. 1t carried
a ten-year term, and Brown was
delighted with the prospect OF
serving in his special field-money
and banking-and being spared the
grief of political controversies.
On the day the President sent
for him, Prentiss Brown encoun-
tered his friend Senator Wagner.
Il have heard said Brown, that
the President wants me to take
Henderson's OPA job. But the Fed
eral Reserve looks better to me.
There's too much grief in the OPA, .
Brown said stautly. And l just
won't take it."
Wagner smiled. Il warn you,
Prentiss Look out for that guy
He'll charm you into it."
Next morning, Senator Wagner
and the American public read OF
Browns appointment to the job OF
OPA administrator. The President
had turned on the charm.

Bills inebriety, like that Of thousands Of
others during the last twenty years was directly
if not wholly traceable to prohibition. Not that
his tendency towards alcoholism which was set
up in his highly nervous temperament by the cir
cumstances of his early environment was pro-
hibition product. But merely that the whole set
up Of the era with its subterfuges and evasions
was fertile ground for the development Of the
tendency into the disease Of which drunkenness is
a symptom. The bar in his office. The speakeasy

ing habit during the days of the
roadhouse hideout, and the office
bar.
Consider the case of one of the
founders Of A. A.
In everything that happened to
Bill, as they all call him, from his
early boyhood when the drive be-
gan until it pitched him, as a man,
headlong into a mental hospital,
his story is a composite of the
making and unmaking of an alco-
holic.
AS boy on his fathers farm,
Bill was high-strung, overactive
and sensitive. The kind of Young
ster who had to be doing some
thing every minute. he was taken
in hand by his grandfather who
proceeded to direct Bills energies
in what he felt was the right di-
rection
"You can do anything you
want to, my boy" the old man
would say, "if you really want to
and will try hard enough. And
IN the code, which was to be so
deeply rooted in the child's con-
seriousness, success was every
thing and failure the inexcusable
and objectionable sin.
The first time Bill Joined the
boys for a game of baseball in the
schoolyard was a moment Of great
humiliation. He found he could
neither pitch, catch nor bat ball.
The boys laughed at him. Stung
to the quick he followed his
grandfather's advice. "IH show
Them he said to himself. Some
day I'll be captain" For weeks
after that Bill hurried home from
school TO pass the time until din
ner throwing rocks into the air
and hitting them with a stick. The
next term he was the captain of
his team
On his twelfth birthday his
grandfather gave him a book in
