WILLY FIJI SCOUT TREES JAPANESE

SUVA, Fiji --tAP)- A Fiji scout who knows his trees saved an American reconnaissance force on a recent foray Tn the Solomons.
 Inching up a river, the Ameri- cans ran into deadly mortar fire Field glasses swept the valley but the enemy battery could not be detected.
 Then the Fjian scout pointed to a cluster of trees on a hill side.
 Its the first time I've ever seen that kind of tree growing anywhere but beside the water D he said.
 Fire was concentrated on the trees and out popped Japanese mortar crew. The Americans picked the Japs off as they scrann- bled up the hillside.

Public Puts Chill On Labor Draft

their President Roosevelt nor Secretary Stimson had any idea that a National Service Act would be enacted unless conditions get much worse here at home. The President hedged on his recom- mendation by saying he Wouldn'' favor it unless other legislation were enacted protecting the work CT against abuses which might grow out of it. Since Secretary S.imson was speaking for the men in service, there was nc reason for his hedging. Cues toned on the Presidents suggest ed collateral laws, he said, in eff feet, that they were outside his province.
 <. * *
 That is the status of the pro- posed National Service Act to date. There are bills pending in Congress but none that haven t actually or in effect been pigeon holed.
 The only thing that would bring them out would be another outburst of strikes or threatened strikes. Neither the President, other war leaders, or even Con- gress itself, is in any humor to put up with further work stop pages, but observers are positive that conditions would have to get much worse before a drastic Ma tional Service Act could find enough votes to put it over.
 What is more likley is that anti-strike laws will be frightened and labor leaders will see that dissatisfaction is ironed out be- fore it reaches the work-stoppage stage.
 However, there is feeling here that the Presidents real purpose in suggesting it has been accom- plished. One observer referred to the recommendation as a ''rnon- dud," but every one

A SAFE PLACE TO BE SHOT DOWN

BARAKOMA AIR BASE, Vella Lavella-(AP)--A group of Amer ican fighter pilots was seated in their tent listening to radio tuned to the Tokyo propaganda station. These broadcasts inter sperse, between their ,exorbitant claims of victory, good selections of American swing and jazz.
 Presently the music stopped and the propagandist announced the Americans had lost 26 fighter planes over Rabaul the previous day By actual count U. S. losses had been three planes.

 A few. though not many, are worried with wonder if Presi- dent Roosevlet is going to run again and, if not, what colors will be in the standard that the un- known nominee bears.
 For the most part, even those who lay no claim to being in the know consider the Administra- tion's failure to groom an alter nate as positive proof that the President intends to bid for the fourth term.

 On the other hand, the Repub- licans, marking time unt1 the inner turmoil in their own party takes some definite line, occupy their days with blocking tactics knock .ng down any and all leg islation that is suspect of Ad- minis'ration sponsorship or clip ping it with eg-breaking riders
 Unlike similar tactics on the gridiron, such methods in Con- gress merely result in freezing the legislative football in mid field.

WASHINGTON = If veteran
 Capitol Hill observers here are to e believed, the second session of
 the 18th Congress jus. convened
 is going 10 be more full of sound and fury, gnifying less, than any session since the Democrats came
 o power nearly II years ago The reasons they give are two: became apparent last session hat
 the Administration had complete
 lv and irrevocably lost control of Congress. The best that 1t can
 hope for now on any controver-
 sial measure (and some that
 shouldn't bel is compromise.
 On the other hand there is no
 leadership in Congress itself, The Democrats are divided into three
 camps, the pros, the antis and the
 indifferent. The Republicans are divided roughly into liberals and
 conservatives, both jockeying for
 power in the coming elections. It's a situation that makes hap py hunting for both big and little
 pressure groups; utter confusion for the layman irving 10 figure out what the sam hill Congress is driving at; and in the end pro- duces a min mum of vigorous, constructive legislation.
 Which brings us to the second reason: General election year.
 This always makes for lot of
 hat sound and fury, etc, but is likely to produce more so as time goes on this year, CD be- cause the Democrats are worried; @ because the Republicans have

WASHINGTON - In spite Of Secretary of War Stimson's ad- vocacy of a National Service Act and the Presidents recommends tion of it in his message to Con gress, observers on Capitol Hill believe that it has only a ghost of a chance of ever becoming law
 The reason: The public isn't enthusiastic about the idea.
 4 canvass of the Congressional mail shows only trickle of in- terest in the Presidents sugges- tion and even in that, opinion is divided.
 Those who feel that there should be such law, so the Con- gressmen tell me, are mostly ser vice men and their families who fele that we are letting the boys down on the home front. They see in National Service Act a possibility of ending strikes,
 In addition 10 general disinter- est from the voters, organized la bor, which operates one of the most powerful influences on Con- gress, is solidly opposed to any such act. Their fear is that it will nullify union strength com pletely and reduce the individual worker to state where he will have no right to say where he works, at what wages or under what conditions.
 Men who are fighting on bat tlefronts in the fever infested jun gles, in the mud and muck of Italy or monotonously guarding frozen outposts in the Arctic, can't feel that this would be any injustice to home front workers.
 That, in substance, is the way Secretary Stimson has summed it up.
 There are some observers here who believe, however, that nei-
