"That day we heard a big Jap

We got reports from scout planes,
even from submarines, but we didn't
know just how big it was. Because
hanging over it was a Jap fighter
screen so thick that our rocco planes
didn't dare fly through to see.
"We got few reports from a tiny
island which lies out in the Java Sea
north of Surabaya, but ominously

the Japs had put a landing force
ashore there.

It did some good, because in the
morning we found the Jap advance
guard, which had been headed right
for Java's beaches, now pulled back
a little, under that bomber-and-
fighter screen, waiting for the main
force to come on up.
Colonel Eubank was now in Jock
strap, and by telephone I put prob
lem up to him. The position of our
fighter pilots in Java was hopeless
now-any minute their field would
be hit by Jap bombers and put out
of operation. I wanted them to turn
their P-40's over to the Dutch fight
er pilots (who had nothing left now
but three Hurricanes which had
been rescued from Singapore) and
come on out to Australia with us
where we could continue the war.
Further air defense in Java was
hopeless. We had broken camp at
Malang-Jap bombers were swarm
ing over the island.
"But Van Oeyen, the Dutch COM
mander, wouldn't listen. He was a
stout old infantry officer, and he had
given orders to fight to the last.
1--WE had to plead our viewpoint
with Van Oeyen. Yet it would be
hard to explain to men who were
defending their homes and families
in this beautiful island, whose lives,
when it fell, would be over.
"That night, fifty miles off Sura-
baya, the naval battle was resumed.
The main Japanese invasion force,
ringed by submarines, was headed
for our beaches. At midnight the
United Nations Navy moved in to
throw their little all into the balance.
This final night the Dutch struck no
glancing blow. 1t was now or new
err. They moved in and fought them
toe to toe, the Australians at their
side. It was pitiful, of course, and
hopeless, as all of them knew. But
the gallant Dutch preferred to die
fighting out in the night rather than
90 skulking home to wait for the
Rising Sun tanks to come rafting
down their streets.
"Side by side, the Dutch and the
Australians plunged through that
outer ring of Jap submarines. The
American forces took up the last
defensive position, skirting the Jap
back edge, firing on the run. 1t
was our duty not to dissipate our
selves in lost causes, but to do what
damage we could, and conserve our
strength to strike again.
"Java died that night in the gun
fire which came rolling in over the
water. It took until dawn for the
Jap battle feet to crunch to bits

Bears Win Final
Game OF Season
From Panthers

Coolidge Bears ended their Sec
'ond undefeated season Friday when
they downed the Casa Grande
Panthers 35 to 0 which scored a
record of s straight wins. The
Casa Grande team was weakened
by the absence of Bobbie Reed,
hard running fullback, who was
kept out of the game because of
injuries.
A team comprised largely of
seniors and juniors started for the
Bears and played most of the first
three quarters and scored all of the
touchdowns. The reserves, mostly
sophomores and freshmen, took
over in the final quarter.
Big Jimmie Davis led the scor-
ing with three touchdowns and an
extra point for a total of 19 points.
Mack McEuen, speedy halfback
scored twice and added an extra
point for 13 points. Quarterback
Kenny Trout and guard Jack Hav-
ems, each scored an extra point.
The latter two were playing their
last football game for the Bears.

Cotton Picking
Wage Ceilings Are
Investigated Here

E. S. McSweeny, executive officer
Tor the state wage board, War Food
Administration, was in the Coolidge
district Tuesday checking enforce
ment of the cotton picking price
ceiling and keeping a watch for
any violations. He called attention
to the ceiling rate of 1925 per
hundred for clean, we'll picked cot
ton, which is the maximum allowed
to be paid to any picker, and also
stressed the provisions of the regu-
lation covering rates which may be
paid to contractors. In order to
qualify as contractor and be en-
title dto any remuneration above
the $2.25 rate, such person must
furnish crew of not less than 25
pickers, must transport the pick
ers. furnish drinking water, pro-
vide the row-bossing, and do the
weighing, all at his own expense.
1t was pointed out that groups of
less than rs can not qualify and the
grower can not exceed the $2.25
rate i'm such cases. Penalty is
equally strict on the party paying
for the picking and on the picker
who receives the money.
McSweeny also called attention
to the seriousness of attempting to
evade the contract picking ceiling
by paying the contractor" on
per day basis or through some form
of bonus" Any such payment to
another for gathering pickers, de-
livering them to the field, super
vising, ETC., which would figure to
be in excess of $4,000 for full
month, would come under violation
of the basic wage regulations which
apply to all employment, he said.

Early Mailing
OF Gifts Urged
BY General Shedd

Major General William E. Shedd,
commanding general, Ninth Service
Command, Fort Douglas, Utah, to-
day joined officials of the post Of
flee department, the war manpower
commission, and the office of de-
fense transportation in urging ear
ly, prompt mailing of Christmas
gifts,
Shortages of manpower, unpre-
cedented volumes of mail, and war
time demands upon transportation
facilities will prevent delivery of
gifts before Christmas unless they
are mailed exceptionally early"
General Shedd explained.
Mail for men overseas has al
ready been dispatched, but soldiers
in the United States are, in most
cases, far removed from home.
Gifts to them from relatives and
friends and their gifts to their loved
ones must be mailed early to arrive
in time for Christmas.
So that the peak Christmas load
may be evened out through mail
ings, General Shedd listed three
reminders:
1. Do your shopping now.
2. If you send Christmas pack
ages to other cities, send small ar
ticles to save transportation space.
A war bond is Uncle Sans victory
gift-"a present with a future"
3. Send all packages to other
cities now if you want them to
reach their destination before
