First Hours Ashore
On Peleliu Cost
Marines Heavily
By T/Sgt. Benjamin Goldberg

PELELIU, PALAU ISLANDS de-
layed)-The island was covered with
pail of black smoke as the Ma
rines landed.
Each wave of Leathernecks was
met with intense enemy fire. Nor
tar shells knocked out amphibian
tractors. From the rocks thanking
the beach came machine gun fire.
From the groves came rifle fire.
The Jap was everywhere. In
caves, in pillboxes, in foxholes, I'M
der brush, concealed in palm trees,
wrapped in fronds. And he took a
heavy toll.
One marine reeled to the beach,
arms dripping blood. AS he was
about to drop into foxhole, he was
slain by Jap sniper.
A corporal led his machine-gun
squad into action. In 20 PAGES, he
lost six men.
An officer lay in a shallow foXhole
speaking over the radio telephone
A mortar shell plopped nearby. The
officer was killed instantly. A cor
poral beside him was Clipped by
shrapnel.
In the first four hours, the Leath-
ernecks advanced only $50 yards.
One unit found a cave with three
openings. Twenty feet away was
marine, lying on his side. He had
been wounded at the front line and
was returning, alone, for treatment
when Jap shot at him from inside
the cave. A sergeant raced to aid
him while the other men of the
unit covered him with rifle fire. The
sergeant crept to the mouth of the
cave, emptied his clip. A second
later he was dead from bullet be-
tween his eyes. A lieutenant inched
forward. He too, was shot dead.
Flame-Throwers Flush Japs.
One Jap was flushed out of the
cave by fame-throwers. He was
shot. A second one charged out.
He, too, was killed. Grenades
were thrown into the hideaway and
chased out a third enemy soldier.
He was killed. There was one who
refused to bulge. Twenty pounds of
explosive in one cave mouth and the
fame-thrower in the other two &C.
counted for him.
At dusk, the Japs counter-at-
tackled. One of their tanks and
some infantry broke through, almost
but not quite-to the beach itself.
Two of our amphibs came up to
meet the assault. They were
knocked out. A third came up and
put the Jap tank out of action. Two
Japs leaped out and were filled with
bullets before they reached the
ground. The Japs lost so men and
withdrew.
All night the marines stayed in
their foxholes, while mortar shells
fell about them. From the rear
came sniper fire. These snipers
criss-crossed our positions with rifle
] and light machine-gun fire.

Attractive Pictures

The pictures are so funny you

they all manage to underscore a
point. One sent SILVER down my

shapen radio listener, with a face
that looked like cross between a
bartlett pear and a hedgehog, yawn-
ing menacingly into one hand while
the other dialed off the loud speaker.
Not only did that book tell how to
broadcast most effectively but it also
told what was the best time on the
air and how to get the use of it, to
whom to 90, and seventeen other
bits of information from "can labor

can you expect from US (CIO) in
preparing your program?'

wonder. Norman Corwin (also on

BY BAUKHAGE
Neps Analyst and Commentator.

The American" booklet has a
broader appeal. 1t shows types of
all kinds, some distinctly foreign"
some familiar anglo-saxon, farm
scenes and factories, railroad yards
and skyscrapers. The message is
simple, Straightforward, clear. When
it comes to how you can tell an
American few could quarrel with
the statements that:
"He believes in freedom of speech,
freedom of the press, freedom from
fear and freedom from want-for all
the people.
HE believes in freedom of oppor-
tunity for all men and women.
HE believes in the right of people
who work to have a job at fair
wages. He believes in the right of
workers to organize, protect and i'm
prove their conditions.
"He believes in education, and
the opportunity to study, for all the
people.
HE believes in the right of every
man and woman to vote in free
elections.
"He believes in majority rule. At
the same time he believes in the
protection of minorities.
'He believes in a government of
the people, by the people, and, most
important of all, for the people,"
The rest of the text is chiefly de-
voted to getting out the vote.

The landing craft opens up, and
fully equipped Leathernecks dash
onto the beach at Bougainville in
the northern Solomons. This scene
was repeated thousands of times as
the marines attack island after is
land, driving the Japs from the south
Pacific. The third marine division,
members Of which are pictured here,
bore the brunt Of the savage fight

They fought five engagements in the
first month ashore, enduring all the

Washington, d. C.

washington, ID. T..
One thing which stands out in the
not-too-breath taking electioneering
which is just drawing to close, is
the highly modernized revival of an
ancient art of persuasion, called by
its inStigators, "Streamlined" PAM
phleteering.
You have undoubtedly seen or
heard of some of the little booklets
which the CLIO political action COM
mittee and its foster brother, the
national political action committee,
have produced.
Recently l received from the di-
rector of publications, CLIO political
action committee, eight of it's eye
catching pamphlets, which l was in
formed were being distributed at the
rate of 100000 daily in October.
Most of them are illustrated in color.
They look, as a commercial artist
friend who examined them said,
professional" They not only look
that way but they are. The CLIO
has recruited some of the best talent
in the country for its research, copy
and art STATS.
Pamphleteering has been an i'm
portant function since even before
Samuel johnson edited the Harleian
Miscellany in the middle of the 18th
century. But this day and age calls
for more than a literary style. 1t
takes punch. The CLOS have pro-
vided it.
No. in the "every worker a
voter" series, entitled what Every
Canvasser Should Know was on top
of the pile l received. 1t is rowdily
illustrated with pictures that have
just enough of suggestive perk to
catch your attention.
The sub-heads match. Canvass
ing is like Love" is blurted at you
above picture of chap on sofa
with girl on his lap. He is saying:
How about some political action?"
Then follows couple of paragraphs
of brass tacks, common sense on the
value of person-to-person selling.
And from there on a simple,
Straightforward "how to do it" talk
on getting the vote out, and lot of
sales arguments on continued action
as long as-"labor has enemies .
as long as there are those who crush
unions as long as there are
small farmers being pushed off the
land :" etc.
Three of the other pamphlets are
illustrated by Bernard Bryson, a top
notch, grotesque comic artist who is
on the CLIO staff. These three books,
all filled with technical information
in the simplest of language, are thus
adversely titled: Speakers Manu-
al"; "a Woman's Guide to Political
Action" and Radio Handbook"

An Appeal for
Religious Associates

There is one other little booklet
printed in very attractive but digni-
fed type. No illustrations. 1t is the
only one sent me which bore the
signature of the National Citizens
Political Action Committeeman the
CLIO.
On its cover is printed the nursery
rhyme:
This is the church..
This is the steeple;
Open the doors
And there are the people.
1t is an appeal, signed by DR..
Dwight Bradley of New York to be-
come Religious Associate"
There has been at least one sharp
attack by minister against the eff
fort of the CLIO or its foster-organi-
cation to attempt to solicit the sup
port of the church. None that
have seen is based on any of the
texts of the Action Committees prop
uganda but rather on the assump-
ton of communist leanings on the
part of the CLIO and presumably the
materialistic philosophy behind
them, which the CLIO heads deny.
This pamphlet starts out with the
statement that eve present our
statement with profound humility but
without hesitation. If we understand
the mission of religion and of eco
nomic OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, farm
ers, businessmen, they do not clash
but supplement each other-the one
concerned with spiritual protection
and development of its members,
and the other with economic protec-
ton and development of it's men,
bers. These two detectives are in
terdependent. And both are clearly
dependent on the proper functioning
of political democracy.
From there on the mood of the
childhood rhyme, "this is the church
:" etc., is carried out to con-
clusion that the leader in the living
church serves "all of the people and
not just some of the people" and
then states that group of Religious
Associates "has been formed to work
with the National Citizens Political
Action Committee, which itself was
created to protect the interests of
the common man."
l do not know how effective the
CIO-PCA program has been in get
ting out the vote, or in getting the
vote to support the organization
candidates. 1t will be difficult to
find out since many other organiza-
tons are at work and many other
influences are brought to bear on
the choice of a candidate.
l note that l. F. Stone, writing in
the Nation in the middle of October
said that at will take the greatest
outpouring of working-class votes in
the history of Chicago, Detroit,
Cleveland. and the smaller Ohio in
dustrial cities to counter-balance the
anti-New Deal tide in the country
side to carry Illinois, Michigan, and
Ohio for Roosevelt"
Stone goes on to say that if these
states go for FDR despite the trend
to Republicanism, it will mean that
the workers in these areas Twill
have proved as potent in politics
as in collective bargaining"

Wake Island. On Bataan they fought
with equal courage. At Midway they
helped stem a major enemy in
vasion. Then on August 7, 1912 they
were again chosen by their country
to spearhead an offensive. Guadal-
canal was the first offensive blow
struck by the Allies against Japan.
First Division marines fought
ashore carrying with them the
hopes and prayers of the entire civil
lied world.
Leathernecks, recently returned
from overseas, often debate the rela-
tive fierceness of the battles in which
they have engaged the enemy. All
admit that Guadalcanal rates with
the toughest. For weeks the marines
fought on short rations and with the
enemy fleet and air force in al
most constant attendance. When the
marines finally moved out for a rest,
they had secured the first toehold on
the Japanese perimeter of defense.
Bougainville, Maxim, New Georgia
followed. Then came TaraWa. Here
the marine corps fought its costliest
battle. Moving in on the shattered
island the morning of November 20,
l943, marines found the preliminary
Smelling had failed to dislodge the
japanese. The first "a hours saw the
marines clinging to beachhead 100
yards long and 10 yards deep. Sur
mounting almost certain catas-
trophe, the marines rallied the
second day to drive inland. By the
third day they had completely Sc
cured the island.
Leap to Marshalls.
Moving northward, the marines
next invaded the Marshall Islands,
meeting with less resistance be-
cause they had learned at Tarawa
to land on fanking islands before
assaulting the enemy's main posi-
tons.
Marines in this period also were
fighting on New Britain Island, Cape
Gloucester standing as their chief
campaign. But they soon with
drew from this theater.
Weeks passed before the marines
struck again. This time they leaped
forward 1,7O0 miles - from the
Marshalls to the Marianas. This, the
world realized, was blow to the
Japanese stomach, for Saipan would
bring U. S. bomberS within range of
Japan proper.
The ensuing battle was waged on
land, sea and air. The Japa-
nese fleet, drawn out to meet this
threat, was turned back by long
range carrier based bombers.
Ashore the Second and Fourth
marines, aided by an army division,
ran into even harder fighting than
they had met at Tarawa. Saipan,
large island with mountains, posed
an entirely new kind of tactical prob
lem to marines. But, versatile as
ever, they soon had secured their
beachhead and were moving across
the island. The enemy fought to a
suicidal end at Saipan. Even the ma
tive population joined in the battle
and, when they saw their cause was
lost, leaped into the sea.
Tinian and Guam followed soon
after. In re-taking Guam the
Leathernecks evened the score for
the marine garrison which was
overwhelmed on that island at the
outbreak of war
This series of successes-Saipan,
Tinian, Guam-caused an upset in
the Japanese government and led to
a bad fright for Toxic. The Japs
we're not given much pause to swal-
low the implications of these VIC
tories. The marines struck next at
Peleliu in the Palau group. The
Japs quickly saw that this was
blow aimed at the Philippines.

CHICAGO. July q. - Dr. Mrs,
Harry S. Truman says she's be.
ginning today to get excited about
her husbands nomination for the
vice-presidency on the Democratic
ticket.
In fact, says she, she's almost
"reconciled" to the idea.
She told a news conference she
hadn't particularly wanted her
husband to be a candidate for the
vice-presidential nomination, but
two days ago she began to realize
the boom for him might be ""ser-
icus."
When it really hit her, she said,
was last night during the balloting
when Maryland threw its votes to
Truman.
Asserting that she has no active
knowledge and declining to answer
political questions, Mrs. Truman
said she and the senator Ego over
his speeches together.
She also has helped him with re-
ports on is well-known defense in
vestigating committee.
She expects to go along on any
campaign trips Truman may make
between now and November. She
said she didn't know whether it
would be as interesting" as Miss

Twenty-year-old daughter Mar
garet said that while it would be
exciting to accompany her father
on such tours, she'd "rather stay
