 Meanwhile Col. Carlos Romulo, Filipino officer who was the last off Bataan, now aide to Pres- dent Manuel Quezon, comes out with the statement that America is losing the in the Pacific
 He bases this statement partially upon the fact that after two years of fighting in the Pacific Amer jeans still do not know the temperament of the Japanese
 Romulo says the atrocity stories beatedly re- leased by our Government few weeks ago not exaggerationsto understand the atrocy stories you must realize that America is fighting enemy in the Pacific that makes his rules-a trained killer "
 Says Romulo: When you have nation which believes that it's highest honor and manhood pressed by committing hara kiri you carry that belief to it's logical conclusion that to do the thing to enemy is less than nothing to Jap
 Begging all Americans to face reality he says
 Let us face facts and admit that after two years of Japan is the victor. Out of 4,356,000 square miles of land she has grabbed have only recapured 160l50 square miles. We have been fighting 5000 miles from the Japanese mainland, have advanced

 Several times, building police have caught fleeting glimpse of him, but all the police can say for sure is that he is a big man, wear ing light green shirt. Last week at about 3 am, he was chased down stairway by policemen, but managed to get away.
 It is believed to be an inside job because the man does not wear a coat and because it would be very difficult for an outsider to get in and out of the building without apprehension. A night shift of some TOO employees works in the Com merce Building.

 The other day, however, the Bri- tish Minister of Economic War fare was disturbed by reports that Leo Crowley, Foreign Economic Administrator, was under pressure to change this policy and send food to occupied France, Holland, and Belgium. So a representative of the Ministry went to see William Stone, an aide to Crowley. After he'd ex- pressed his fears to Stone and the arguments against sending food to occupied Europe, Stone suggested that they go in to see Crowley himself.
 Crowley was most gracious, but rather confused the Britisher when he said:
 Let's just sit right down around the table and talk this over. We're partners in this war, and if you want those food shipments to gc through, we'll fix it up no matter what it costs us'

LOVE LOVES LOVELY PROFITS

Hard hitting Chester Bowles, OPAl A d tor, has written a scorching letter to Donald Nelson, protesting against what some people consider sabotage inside the War Production Board against the OPA and its effort to prevent imitation.
 Bowles' letter was directed speci- fically against Spencer Love, head of the Burlington Mills in Greens boro, N. C., now serving as head of WIPES clothing textile division.
 For some time, OPA has been working to get more low-cost clothing. So Chester Bowles was thunderstruck to find that mem- Der of the Government, supposedly working for the Government, name ly Spencer Love. had attacked the low-cost clothing program. Further more, Love not only attacked the program, but also attacked Judge Vinson and the Office of Price Ad- ministration. This attack was wide ly published in the textile trade journals
 The effect on the industry was electrifyipg. Naturally. with the ex- ample of a prominent WIPE off cial leading the attack, the textile industry went on virtual sitdown strike against the OPA's program.
 Chester Bowles is now asking Nelson whether his officials are working with the Government or against it.
