An Ad To The C0mmunique
Bit by bit, the tension unleashed

Bit by bit, the tension unleashed
increasing anger. The outfit led by
Tech. Sgt. Sorrel Holder of Bay
Spring, Wis, by passed resis-
lance pockets, caught them in
crossfire and later wiped them out.
They found an enemy mortar pla-
toon ready to fire. It never fired.
Beyond that point was a well
defended house, its occupants
alerted by the sound of the battle.
For a short time it halted the ats
tack, but a squad led by Sgt. Gar
vice McCallum of Bernice, Ala,
saw to it that it was only short
time. ut only took about hun
dred rounds of gunfire to do the
trick" Sgt. McCallum said later.

bedsheet and waved it in t h e win

Pittsburgh, Pa. a member Of Nc
Callum's squad.
I'VE knocked out flax wagon
nearby and killed several snipers
at the same time" said Pfc. Rob-
ert Stannard Of Staten Island, N.
Y. Inside the house we found four
dead and took IL prisoners.
But, despite all this, the main OBJ
jective was not yet taken. T h e
strongest point lay ahead. If the
doughboys were tired at the start
of the attack, they now were
ready to drop from exhaustion
which makes it hard to believe

for just a minute we sort of hud-
died there. Bullets splattered mud
all over.
Then somebody said yell and
keep shooting Everybody just got
up and kept going and blazing
away and screaming. I heard one
guy yell 'Hi-yo, Silver, away They
hollered everything. Before we
knew it, it was over.''
It was all over. The Germans
apparently thought they were be-
ing attacked by an entire army
and surrendered quickly.
For some of the attackers it was
all over, too-forever. Others for
whom it was all over for a while
were being carried back. But they
were amazingly few in view of the
nature Of the upright, yelling,
storming attack.
The remaining dogfaces were
still wet and. still cold and still
hungry. They complained bitterly
about the weather and wished they
had cup OF hot coffee and a
pair of dry socks.
Here, and there few still talked
about. that last attack. Nobody was
quite sure just what happened.

JAPAN AFTER DEFEAT
Pasadena Star-NewS)

pasadena StarNeWS)
Considering what China has suffered
from the Japanese, the Chinese attitude
toward Japan appears to be remarkably
reasonable and fair. Polls indicate that
the Chinese people expect and want Jap
an to remain an important Asiatic power
after the war.
There is no evidence of sentiment in
China for a policy of eXacting ruinous
Preparations from Japan after its defeat
or subjecting it to any form of harsh
punishment.
Generalissimo Chang kai-shek refer
red to Japan with moderation in his New
Years message to the Chinese army and
people. He said that he and President
Roosevelt agreed that all japanese mill
tarists must be eliminated and the Jap
aneSe political system purged of every
vestige of aggressive elements, but "as
to what form of government Japan
should adopt, that question can better be
left to the awakened and repentant Jap
anese people to decide for themselves"
Surly that is carrying liberalism as
far as it can be carried with safety in
dealing with the japanese.

Navy issues
Talk Warning

WASHINGTON, Jan. &c. CUP)-
The navy department is using its
telephone directory to remind its
personnel that "a secret is Sc
cret."
Nearly every page of the directory
carries an admonition against care
less violation of security. Slogans
are printed in large type at the
bottom of the pages.
The Navy obviously doesn't sub
scribe to that old man n-conceived
idea that it's only the women who
can't keep secrets. To show that 1t
is playing no favorites, the direc-
tory puts forward these warnings
ITO the ladies-doa't tell him. ITO
men only-don't tell herr
The reminders were directed es-
pecially against circulating gossip
and rumors. Gossip is faster than
radio" the book points out. Don.
circulate rumors."
For the benefit of those new to
their Jobs who may be overly M
pressed by the vital information
they think they possess. the silent
Watchdog suggests: Don't show
off your confidential knowledge.
You don't have to tell everything.
A general summation of the at
titude of the book might be:
Keep your own counsel! Do
YOU know who is listening?'

fall back on, and that is the
federal-state unemployment insur-
ance compensation. 1t isn't exactly
cake that its recipients are per-

lifesaver in the last four years,
during periods of temporary un-
employment caused by plant con-
version to war production.
In the fiscal year 1939-4O, over
five million workers drew benefits.
I'm the fiscal year 1941-42, over 80
million workers drew benefits. In

COMMON SENSE
pasadena POSt)

(PaSaQena HOSC)
Chairman Andrew J. May of the house
military affairs committee made the
only necessary comment on the statement
that the strike threat which caused the
taking over of the railroads would pro-
long the war and cost American lives.
Mr.. May, Kentucky Democrat, merely
pointed out that the conclusion was so
obvious it, needed no comment. That,
without doubt. was the point of view of
the high military leaders who made the
statement in the course of a press con-
ference designed to give news and edi-
torial men their background material
on the progress of the war.
Nothing could reveal more clearly the
selfhypnotism of some labor leaders
than that they should appear to be sur
prised or shocked by the statement.
These labor leaders are in exactly the
position leaders of big business were in
few years ago. They have lost public
confidence but are so self-centered they
do not realize it. hence they leap to the
defense of the indefensible, when what
they should do is to step aside and make
way for leaders who know what hour
the clock has struck.
