PACIFIC:
I.OOO-Mile Advdnce

With his forces taking another
long jump Of 1875 miles to the north
west in Dutch New Guinea, Gen.
Douglas Macarthur advanced clos
er to his cherished goal Of the Philip
pines, there to avenge Bataan.
The latest gain drew U. S. forces
nearer to the thick cluster Of islands
lying off Dutch New Guinea which
the enemy repeatedly has fortified
with air bases to counter any Al
lied thrust against the Indies to the
south or the Philippines to the north.
In advancing 1875 miles westward,
U. S. forces were 1000 miles away
from Milne Bay, far to the south
east and from which General Mac
Arthur launched the campaign that
has gradually pushed the Japs out
Of their farthest South Pacific hold
ings.

as clay turtles and yarn dogs. Pic
lures caught the charm Of the OUT

JOINT COMMAND:
DratUs Support

The touchy question of combining
the different branches of the serv-
ices into single command, so
strongly favored by the army, drew
the support of President Woodrow
Wilson's secretary of the navy,
Josephus Daniels.
Mincing no words, Daniels de-
clared that the disaster at Pearl
Harbor resulted from a divided
command, and asserted: History
is replete with the squabbles be-
tween the army and navy which
prolong wars, showing the neces-
sity of combination.
When he was working for uni
fication of the services during World
War I, Daniels said, Secretary Of
War Lindley Harrison told him:
"Joe, I don't care damn about
the navy and you don't care a
damn about the army. You run
your machine and I will run NINE"

The number of new syphilis cases
for the six months term was

Although a 10000 mile territory

EMPLOYMENT:
On Decline

For the first time since the war
began, the nations manpower ap-
peared in balance with needs, with
supply Of labor in critical areas the
only problem, the National Indus
trial Conference board said.
Earlier the department Of agri-
culture noted 4 per cent decline
in farm labor, with some Of the de-
crease attributed to the inability to
get into the fields because OF I'M
favorable weather. AS a result OF
the delay, many farmers were ex-
pected to switch acreage from
small grains to row crops, necessi-
tating additional work.
Rejecting the continued drop IN
manufacturing industries, there
were Al, 300, 900 non-farm workers in
March, compared with the peak Of
$4,000, 600 in July, 1943. Only in
transportation was there an increase
shown over last year.
