the priorities machinery used by
petroleum operators, PAW said,
this new procedure Is defined IN an
amendment to formal order pref
erence Rating Order P-98-b1, issued
by the War Production board at
the request of the Petroleum Adj
mfnistratiOn for War.
The delivery order filing proce-
dure has been changed to eliminate
the need for petroleum operators
to submit to PAW information
copies of delivery orders for other
than controlled materials.
The new order now assigns pref
erence ratings and allotment sym
bols for material to be used in those
small operations which are permit
ted by Petroleum Administrative
orders to be undertaken without
specific authority. This applies to
special production operations, nat
ural gasoline recovery, transporta-
ton and refining, and relieves the
industry of the clerical burden of
filing either a form WPB-541 or a
PAW form 80 requesting priorities
assistance for such small operations
in those industry branches.
The procedure for securing pri-
critics assistance for large projects
has been completely reshaped into
a new PAW form 30, which elm
mates the need to furnish a de
tailed list of all material and equip
ment required for the project. Con
trolled materials required will be
reported only as an estimated sum

He said:
Although many critical mate
rails are tight It Is desirable TO
ing them. With Informative data
from experience to date, PAW is
now fortified to fulfill its respon-
sibilities as a claimant agency and,
az the same time, relieve petroleum
operators Of many clerical burdens.
The present action Is consistent
with PAW policy to minimize at
all times the detail involved in
maintaining such wartime controls
as cannot be avoided"

step in many months to simplify

That seems to be the destiny of

Yanks Had to Blast
Japs Out of Holes
On Marshalls

Doughboys of the Seventh infantry
division who captured Kwajalein
and other islands of the Kwajalein
atoll during the invasion of the Mar
shall islands literally had to dig the
Japanese out of the ground. Col.
Syril E. Fame, infantry, of New
Straitsville, Ohio, who is now in the
United States, acted as deputy chief
of staff of the division during the SIX
day campaign. He said the Japa-
nese defenders of the mid-Pacific
coral base had taken refuge in hum
dreds of shell craters by the time
the first waves of infantry hit the
shore on January 81 February l,
Pacific time).
1T was just like killing rats" he
declared. 1.-The whole island was
rubble, after the preliminary bomb
ing and Smelling. The Japs had
crawled underground wherever they
could, and the infantrymen had to
stop at every hole and fire down
into it, or throw grenades into it."
Playing Postum.
The Japanese were up to their
usual nasty tricks, went on Colonel
Fame. Even after they were hope
lessly defeated, they refused to give
up. At one point in the action, an
American aid station was estab-
lished close to pile of three ap-
parently dead Japs. Only two of
them, it turned out, were really
dead. The third, at the bottom of
the heap, pulled himself up after
playing possum for a long time and
fired one Intellectual shot at an
American officer. Other Japs blew
themselves up with grenades.
The landing on the MarShalls,
Colonel Fame said, was preceded
by one of the most intensive bonn
bardments of the war. Both army
and navy planes participated, and
later, warships pounded the Jap de-
lenses. lone airstrip on the Vote
atoll was so chopped up" Colonel
Fame said, that not only couldn't
the Japs get plane off it, but you
couldn't even have run wheelbar-
row along it."
Amphibious Warfare.
The aerial hammering kept up as
the invasion armada, containing
more ships than there were in our
whole navy at the start of the war,
swept over the horizon. AS the
landings started, Seventh division in
fantrymen who had received special
amphibious training drove their own
"alligators" and "ducks" toward
shore, and later ferried supplies
back and forth from the mother
ships.
The doughboys had relatively easy
going when they first hit the beaches
advancing 1900 yards on the first
day. On the second day, they began
to run into lines of pillboXes, against
which they advanced with combat
engineers right behind them. With
famethrowers, grenades, and other
weapons, the infantrymen calmly
cleaned out each pillbox as they got
to it. The engineers used AGO tons
of dynamite on two islands alone,
levelling everything on them.

There has been complaint from
organized labor lately because we
have used some of the war prison.
ers for tasks in lumber camps and
on road work, where there was no
American labor available. General
Gullion gives labor assurance that
prisoners of war are not being put
to work on any job where civilian
labor is available in adequate sup
ply. Prisoner of war labor is a
temporary expedient to relieve the
existing shortage of man power.
The United States agreed at the
Geneva convention to return all
prisoners of war to their own coun-
tries at the conclusion of the war,
hence the fear of competition with
free labor is groundless, the gen.
eral says.
Prisoners Cut Pulpwood.
Prisoners have been in logging
operations where American workers
have left the woods to work in ship
yards and machine shops at much
higher wages, he explains. They
have been useful in cutting and
peeling pulp logs needed critically
for containers in civilian industry
and for newsprint, of which there
is shortage. Prisoners have been
used also in maintaining roads in
some areas where other manual la
borers are very scarce. The ire
mendous importance of road main
tenance, in view of the heavy traf
fic, is obvious.
Prisoners have been used also in
laundries. Nearly everyone today
has suffered Inconvenience because
of the shortage of laundry labor,
and can understand this expedient.
The story of Japanese prisoners
is less happy. When a Japanese
soldier is taken prisoner he is
washed up-he never wishes to re-
turn to Japan for he is disgraced
forever in the eyes of his country
men.
We have in this country scarcely
more than hundred japanese pris-
oners, and General Macarthur has
only few hundred more, accord
ing to General Gullion.
They are given the same food
and accommodations as our own
soldiers, because we hope by ac-
cording such treatment to amelio-
rate the lot of our own 1880 men
held by the Japanese.
