TANK, En- Route to New Britain.
-(by wireless)-we climbed a lad
der from our small craft to the
deck of this LIST. This is one of
Henry Kaiser's jobs, thrown to-
gether in less than a month, which
seems incredible when you con-
slider the size and machinery that
make an LIST a real seagoing YES
sci.
This particular LIST was singled
out for the honor of being put in
to commission at the ceremonies
last Feb. % at Vancouver, WASH,
at which a speech was made by
Mrs. T. F. Sullivan, mother of
five sons all lost in this war. The
skipper is Lieut.. Albert W. Nc
Whorter, a former Matson Line
Skipper who was given this ship
in recognition of his work as an
assistant to Capt. F. c. Huntoon
in QUILTING work fo1 the Navy at
the Kaiser yard.
We were invited into the ward
room for coffee, as it was now
dark and we had been bounced
around on our little craft for half
an hour before coming aboard.
While sitting at coffee I was start
led by the bark of dog. A little
black cocker spaniel just like my
own at Washington appeared, to
check on the arrivals. 1t was am
ed Laddie, and had been given to
the crew by the wife of the ship S
executive officer, Lieut.. William
Grounds, a former Hollywood ac-
tors agent.
Laddie patrols what is called the
Officers country" He barks bel
igerently every time any of the
crew, whom he recognizes by their
blue dungarees, enters.
The slippers own pet is little
fox terrier named Mickey. She has
just broken her leg jumping IL feet
down onto a steel elevator plat
form, trying to follow the skipper
into the tank deck. The ships sur
geon used tongue depressors for
splints, and she is resting quietly
in box. Amid the slaughter of
war it is remarkable how much
attention is given to a wounded
pet.
There are six LISTS in our con-
voy, and four destroyers are
cruising around. You can't ina CINE
what comfort such an escort gives
you, nor how good our planes look
overhead, unless you have been
within enemy range aboard a slow
target.
These LISTS are big, when you
get in them. Our tank deck is
filled partly with vehicles such as
amphibious tractors, or "alliga-
tors" for blowing through swampy
jungles. but to the rear there is an
enormous pile of bulk cargo, in
Guiding cases of ammunition, sal
man. Vienna sausage, dehydrated
potato shreds, whole eggs dried,
canned cabbage. dry jungle "a
tions, and C rations - the same
interchangeable hash I ate in
Sicily during the first days of our
occupation.
The vehicles also include bull
dozers, which are extremely nec-
essary to make jungle country
passable for dry-land vehicles.
Life aboard an LIST is not as
grim as I had expected. There are
comfortable quarters. We are car
rying number of vehicles on the

Japanese Propaganda
(New York Times

Celebrating the second anniversary of Pearl liar bor on which Japan still reoices in her treachery, Tokyo broadcast a statement which for brazen mendacity surpasses even the best efforts of Hitler It is fantastic that it sounds completely ridiculous to Western ears. But it is no more ridiculous than were some of the fulmnatons of Japanese spokesmen which preceded the war the whole Japanese pre- tension to divine descent And 1t IS every Dit as dangerous.
 According to Tokyo's account the Japanese have already defeated armies totaling 100000 and killed wounded and captured 1,375000 enemies, while losing only 2l300O of their own troops. They have sunk or damaged 31 battleships, 39 aircraft carriers, 148 cruisers 26 destroyers, Al submarines and a lot of auxiliary warshps while their own losses in sunk or damaged vessels were only two batteships four air. craft carriers three cruisers 27 destroyers and 20 submarines. They have shot down 5l58 enemy planes, while losing only 1908 of their own, all of which of course dived into enemy targets since no Jap anese pilot would lose his life otherwise.
 If these achievements existed anywhere except on paper, Premier Tojo would indeed have right to throw out his chest But the answer to the claims is found in the figures issued Pearl Harbor day in Washington. which list sunk or damaged 13 Jap anese bateships F carriers, 152 cruisers and 269 destroyers, while both the American and British navies are today stronger than before in their history But such answer will not occur to ToJos home audience, which may be bit skeptical of some of his larger figures, but which under the circum- stances will scarcely doubt the accuracy of the general picture presents, though the Emperor and the Premier have admitted Japanese difficulties, doubtless to step up production
 One reason for this is that the Japanese simply do not know the facts. For due to the language barrier, the strict thought and press control always exercised in Japan and intensified during the war and finally the prohibition of all radio sets capable of listening any but local Japanese stations they are as effectively cut off from real knowledge of the course of the war the in the moon. This citit otipn 1 Japanese occupied territories as well
 These are the factors which make it pososible for Too to tell the Japanese anything without fear of contradiction and with good chance of being be-
 eved He can pile up whopping paper victories to stimulate their fanatcism and fighting prowess, and discourage whatever resistance may rise among the conquered peoples And this takes Tokyos statements of the sphere of the ridiculous and transfers them to the sphere of effective and dangerous war pro- paganda.

SUPREME COURT BARS CON
 GRESSMEN

The august U s. Supreme Court was put on the spot the other day by several Congressman who want ed to help argue the hot insurance case as Friends of the Court.
 Representative Hatton Summers of Texas first barged in by calling Chief Justice Stone all the way from Dallas to say that he would like to appear before the court amicus Curiae in the insurance case. This case involves whether ol not the insurance companies are exempt from the Sherman Anti Trust Act and is one of the hottest issues before Congress.
 Representative Summers, for some reason, has been busy y-as-a-bird-doe for the insurance companies and since he is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, the Supreme Court justices were inclined to view his request sympathetically.
 However, some one also tipped off fortnight Senator Joe O'Ma- honey of Wyoming and hard-hit- ting Congressman Charles La Fol lette of Indiana. They oppose the insurance companies just as vigor- ously as Summers champions them and they also wanted to argue be- fore the court.
 The nine learned men hesitated a day. Then benign Chief Justice Stone informed the Congressm lr in his kindliest manner that 1t would be bad precedent for mem bers of Congress to hold debating society as Friends of the Court With a touch of humor he added
 i"I have trouble enough keeping politics off the court"
 Note The court had just fin ished a session in which Justices Murphy and Black issued opinions publicly scolding Justice Frankfur- ter for "a wholly gratuitous asser- tion' in constitutional law, and in which, privately, Justice Roberts had fumed and sputtered over news leaks.

fact that Frank Hancock and liar old Cooley were couple of Con- gressmen from North Carolina. Hancock now out of Congress has just been appointed head of Farm Security Hence, Congressman Coo ley, formerly FSA's deadliest critic, is now a supporter and friend.
 All during the past year, FSA operated on a shoestring. Its funds were cut, and Congress frowned on almost everything it tried to do But now, a report of House Agri- culture subcommittee which Cooley heads is about to give FSA a clean bill of health and recommend that it be continued as a permanent agency.
 The report will not whitewash MT. Tugwell or any of his works In fact, it will sharply criticize all the old resettlement projects (al- ready in process of liquidation). But it will give strong approval to two other FSA programs-rehabilitation and tenant purchase.
 Also, there will be a proposal for combining the lending programs of Farm Security with two types of Farm Credit Administration loans, with a new corporation to handle the joint lending activity.
 It's marvellous what two gentle men from North Carolina can &C., complish when they get together.
